253 The most disgraceful ones are already here
Of course, Gu Hui did not get drunk from just one glass. Besides, it was only noon and grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu did not allow everyone to drink too much.
After lunch, it was time to put up the couplets and the character ” Fortune “.
Gu shouxin was left behind to write a Voodoo bag for his ancestors. It had to be burned before dinner and in front of the grave on the morning of the first day of New Year.
Uncle Gu admitted that his handwriting was bad and didn’t want to join in the fun. In the end, he was caught by grandma Gu.”When your father and I die in the future, can’t you write about your younger brother who’s going to beg for a separation? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“And you, fourth brother! Don’t think that just because you’re the youngest, you don’t have to pay your respects to the two brothers on it. Come over and learn!” Grandma Gu stopped fourth uncle Gu when she saw that he was about to slip away.
“Mother, you’ve asked me to learn from big brother every year, but in the end, it was still our Father who wrote it!” Fourth uncle Gu said, feeling wronged.
“Yup! Isn’t that your second brother who was a bastard in the past? Now that the most disgraceful person is here to learn how to write, you two still want to be lazy?” It was as if grandma Gu had criticized the three brothers.
Grandpa Gu looked at the four of them with a smile and began to write down the format.
They had a lot to write about, including the ancestors of the Gu family and the ye family.
Therefore, Lu Zheng was assigned a task. He was to bring Gu Xin, Gu en, and Gu si to put up the couplets, while Gu Hui and Gu Nian were to help prepare dinner.
Lu Zheng was quite happy.
He asked Gu Xin to hold the bowl of paste, and Gu si and Gu en to hold the couplets and the word ‘Fu’. He then started to paste it on each door.
“Brother Yuan, can you teach me how to hunt next year?” Gu en liked Lu Zheng the most because he could beat up big cats.
His second uncle could have done it too, but he had always been very busy!
“Brother Yuanyuan, I want to learn too, I want to learn too!” Gu Xin added.
Lu Zheng, who had wanted to find a reason to reject the offer: alright, after the spring farming is over, we’ll go to the mountains and make a trap. We can’t catch the big guys, but we can still catch the little rabbits and chickens.
Lu Zheng had a lot of hunting experience in the mountains.
“Brother Yuan, can you take me with you?” Gu si asked.
“Both are fine. We’ll call sister Huihui and niannian together.” Lu Zheng laughed.
“Good! Brother Yuan, we’ll hold the stool for you, and the paste is for you!” Gu Xin passed the paste to Lu Zheng.
Gu en and Gu si quickly took out the ” Fortune ” character and the Spring Festival couplets. They swiped them a few times and asked Gu si, who was not holding a stool, to stand a little further away to see if the post was correct.
After sticking it on the old mansion, he went to the second branch to stick it on.
After the second branch was done, they went to Lu Zheng’s house.
by the way, I don’t see any lanterns at your house. I have a few more here. Let’s hang them up! Lu Zheng thought of the leftover food at home that Ji Xiang had sent over yesterday and suggested.
“Good, good! Grandpa was going to tie it, but my mother said that uncle’s family would tie it up and sell it, so I can go and get it. In the end, she only found out that her uncle’s house had sold out this morning. The market closed in the morning, and there’s no place to buy it. ” Gu en said.
I’ll add some oil to the lamp first. Later, when it’s getting dark, Enzi, you can ask eldest uncle or second uncle to come out and light the lamp. Lu Yang said.
“Brother ah Yuan, aren’t you going to spend the new year with us tonight? Grandpa yang and aunt xiaohuan should come tonight too. It’ll be more lively with more people!” Gu Xin said.
“I’m going to the Zhou clan town to accompany my granduncle tonight and will only be back tomorrow. I’ll bring you delicious food tomorrow!” Lu Zheng said with a smile.
“Thank you, brother Yuan!” The three siblings thanked him happily.
