The baby turned his face away: "If you have the ability, Mr. Wei Yanyan and Mr. Wei will post Spring Festival couplets!"

Chen Huayao laughed and said in a tone of coaxing the child: "Good baby, don't be angry. Actually, I was just perfunctory Mr. Wei, and it has nothing to do with her. Think about it, the employment situation is quite serious now. If I don't flatter her a few times, can I find a job for Brother Tianda so easily? I have to make money and support you. Is it easy for me?"

The baby, with a pretty pink face, said, "You kiss me and I will forgive you."

Chen Huayao shook his head helplessly, hooked his fingers up the baby's chin, and slowly leaned over, and the two of them got closer and closer.

The baby looked up at him, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his eyes were filled with expectation and tension.

Chen Huayao's lips were pulled apart as soon as he touched her forehead. A warm, soft and smooth feeling came to his heart, and he smiled and said, "Okay, be good."

The baby suddenly opened his hands and hugged his brother's head and neck, shouting: "No, you are cheating, kissing your forehead is not counted, you have to kiss your mouth!"

At this time, Chen Tianda had just stepped out of the threshold. When he looked back, his heart was filled with extreme envy. If he could be favored by such a beauty, he would be willing to be crushed to pieces in the next second, and his life would be worth it.

Chen Huayao held the little girl's soft waist with his back hand and said, "Baby is obedient."

"Baby likes brother the most!" A strong feeling in the little girl's eyes appeared.

All the preparations for the New Year in the mansion were basically completed. The little girl followed her brother's butt and looked around, feeling excited and full of fun.

The construction and development of the city is becoming more and more modern, and traditional folk customs are gradually fading. The New Year and Festival in the city are becoming increasingly fast-food, and all procedures can be simplified as much as possible.

Just like at Xia Dirui's home, although there is money, because the group is busy, the elders have few days off for a year. Several group giants do not even have time to rest during the New Year. This is a critical stage of family development. They often stay in the company and work overtime overnight. How can they be in the mood to work hard for the New Year?

On the contrary, in the rural countryside, the strong New Year atmosphere is everywhere. Family members gather together to make rice cakes, make dumplings, cut paper, paste Spring Festival couplets, window flowers, hang New Year pictures, set off firecrackers, etc.

On New Year’s Eve, the whole family reunites and eats New Year’s Eve dinner, and they have to stay up to the New Year at night. On the first day of the New Year, the children receive New Year’s money and are very happy.

How could I see such a happy scene at Xia Dirui's house? I walked around the courtyard with my brother, went to the courtyard to add decals, and went to the kitchen to join in the fun. Several aunts who were caring for the New Year's Eve dinner praised her when they saw her, which made the little girl very happy.

"Brother, I'll come every year from now on."

Chen Huayao rubbed her head lovingly: "You can't run away."

The Spring Festival couplets were almost pasted, and only the last door frame of the main door was still empty. It was kept by the second uncle for his nephew.

Let Chen Tianda invite Chen Huayao, who was explaining history to Ruirui on the edge of the well in the courtyard.

There was a wooden table next to it, with four treasures of the study, two long and one short and three red papers were all neatly placed, waiting for Chen Huayao to show his ink treasures. Uncle Er had been waiting for a long time, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Xiaoyao, you are the eldest son and grandson, you should write this Spring Festival couplet on the main door."

Everyone came over to know that Chen Huayao had written well. He also wrote the birthday couplet for his grandfather’s 80th birthday last time. He smiled and said, “Of course, a talented man must start writing.”

Here are Chen Tianshi, Chen Xijia and his brothers, Chen Tianda, fourth uncle Chen Hongwei, his son Chen Tianliao, twin daughters Chen Xiqiang, and Chen Xina sisters.

Chen Tianliao is 18 years old this year and is in the third year of high school at the No. 15 Middle School in the city. Chen Xiqiang and Chen Xina's sisters are less than fourteen years old. They usually don't have much contact with the old man's family. In addition, the age gap makes them not very common with Chen Huayao.

Lin Yongjia took out his cell phone and prepared to take a picture of his pen running around.

"Brother, I haven't read your calligraphy yet, write it to me." Xia Dirui clapped his hands and smiled. His cute and cute expression was almost the same as Jing's, and several boys were stunned.

Chen Tianshi and Chen Tianda had a certain vision in Xiangjing. At least he had seen a beautiful woman of Xu Suhang, who was not much different from Xia Dirui. As for Chen Tianliao, he had long been foolish and confused, with his eyes full of the voice and smile of the little girl, and forgot who his surname was.

Chen Huayao ordered his second uncle to lit a jade rhinoceros and silk incense used by Jia Baoyu, stood at the table and held his breath and calmed down. He picked up the best red sandalwood carved wolf hair written by Yan Zhenqing, spread out Liu Gongquan and sprinkled the remaining jade version of gold and so on red paper, and pressed the head of the box with the twelve series of Pixiu white marble paperweight handed down by Su Dongpo's family.

Pour the remaining ink of gold-scribing Yanchuan stone liquid that Liang Qichao had ink into the purple neon Duan inkstone that monk Huaisu once regarded as his life. The tip of the pen was lightly dipped in ink, and the tip of the pen was tried.

Xia Dirui looked at him tremblingly and said with a smile: "Brother is so awesome."

Chen Huayao absorbed the thick ink and wrote on the paper: "All things inherited from Qian and the spring light turned warm everywhere; the three suns opened up and the scenery came back every year." The horizontal banner: "Enjoy the whole world."

The pen stopped, threw the pen in front of him, and hummed, "I can barely use one-tenth of my skills."

The brushstrokes are strong, the dragons and phoenixes dance, with his usual tough style.

The second uncle hurriedly praised: "Good characters are simply the best in the world. Even if Wang Xizhi is reborn, Mrs. Wei is reincarnated, and Zhang Xu is reborn in the body. When he sees such good characters, he can only be willing to give up the disadvantage." After that, he gently pulled his son's clothes.

Chen Tianda understood and smiled, "Written, uh...that, it's so good, it fully reflects the glorious tradition of family reunion. I can't describe my mood at this moment... It's great, why should I see such well-written words? What if I never see you again? How should I survive? Xiaoyao, save me, I can't live without you!" As he said that, he wanted to pounce into Chen Huayao's arms.

Chen Huayao stretched out his hand and pushed the fool away, and smiled and said, "Take it and stick it on."

The other brothers and sisters also praised it, but Chen Tianshi said with a thorny head: "This word is just average. If you write this level at our school calligraphy association, you can get a lot of it."

Xia Dirui frowned and said, "What major are you in Xiang University?"

"Plan, computer." Chen Tianshi seemed quite uncomfortable when facing the beauty, and his heartbeat accelerated and stuttered.

Xia Dirui turned his face and said, "As of your level, you are everywhere in Lanxiang Technical School. What can you do after graduation? That is, you can spend your life playing games and playing gold coins in Internet cafes." The little girl's words are really scary. Just one order will make Chen Tianshi unable to find a job in Xiangjing. It is too easy for China to be so great that you can escape from the sphere of influence of the Zhu family unless you flee far away from the north.

"Uh..." Chen Tianshi blushed and couldn't say a complete sentence.

At that moment, Chen Tianda rushed to post the Spring Festival couplets.

Everything was done. It was almost evening when every household in Hongyun Village set off firecrackers, crackling everywhere and smoke.

The Chen family opened two seats in the hall, one for men, one for women and one for children. The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and a table was full of people.

At this time, Chen Huayao no longer insisted on the so-called four dishes and one soup. The Chinese worked hard all year round just for the Spring Festival, and appropriate extravagance and waste should be done.

The old man sat in the main seat, Chen Huayao was with the prime minister, and the second uncle was helping to pour wine.

Wine is Wuliangye for twenty years, and the dishes are delicious. Everyone eats a New Year’s Eve dinner happily.

After three rounds of drinking, the old man sighed: "In the past few years, except for my birthday, the whole family usually goes their separate ways, and it is difficult to get together for dinner." Everyone stopped chopsticks and waited for the old man to speak up. The elders made a remark at the family reunion meeting. It was also the subject of the question. No one could interrupt at this time.

The old man glanced around the table and looked at his sons. Chen Xunhe's hair was gray, Chen Zhijuan's forehead was half bald, Chen Qingge's face was full of wrinkles, and only his youngest son Chen Hongwei was in his prime. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Time flies. Decades have passed. Not only I am old, but you are old, and the children are all grown up. Soon someone will become grandfathers and feel my mood at this moment."

The four brothers couldn't help but look at their son, and their eyes were full of love. This kind of blood-thicker than water is the most difficult bond to separate in Chinese society.

"Friends may turn against each other, colleagues may become enemies, but the relationship between father, son and brother will never change. What I want to say today is exactly this. No matter how quarrels outside, brothers are still a family when they close the door. Why is this? This is because you have decided that you are someone's son or brother since you are born, and this relationship will not change any changes due to the changes in the law, the passage of time, or the quality of the relationship."

Everyone answered: "Dad said it." "Grandpa said it right." Only Chen Tianshi glanced at Chen Huayao with great thoughts.

"There are also quarrels between brothers. In those years, the family was not in good condition, so we suffered a lot." The old man looked around and suddenly became energetic and shouted: "Unity, the family must be united to have a prospect, and will never stop being bullied by others."

The four of Chen Xunhe and his brothers all agreed, "Dad, you are right, brothers should be united."

"Xunhe, Qingge, you brothers are old and you are not young, what kind of morality will you become? The so-called family harmony is prosperous, and everyone is harmonious and the family will flourish. Qingge, you are the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and a leading cadre. You can understand everything clearly. You must not be angry with your elder brother in the future, do you know?"

Chen Qingge smiled apologized and said, "Dad, look at what you said, I'm having fun with my elder brother."

With Chen Huayao present, the old man dared not speak harshly to his eldest son, saying, "Second, bring the things up."

"Yes." Chen Zhijuan responded.

Everyone was a little curious. The old man suddenly said this at the New Year's Eve dinner table on New Year's Eve, obviously pointing out something. I don't know what kind of treasure he was going to take out. Even the female family members on the other mat stopped chattering and stretched their necks to look at the old man, not daring to make any noise.

Chen Zhijuan took a box of new chopsticks and put them in front of the old man.

The chopsticks produced by Xiangjing's "Jiangnan Family" are made of red sandalwood. The chopsticks are straight and smooth, and the black one is transparent. The top is lightly carved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and the square silver shell inlaid on the top is cast with beautiful words such as auspiciousness and wealth. They are indeed simple but not simple, and they reveal a gorgeous and generous atmosphere in plainness.

There are twenty chopsticks in total, each two are tied with fine silk and made into a pair, and lie quietly in the box. Although it is quite expensive, a box of seven or eight hundred yuan is not considered a treasure.
