Chapter 25
The next day, the medical center became even colder. From morning to noon, no patients came to see the doctor, and there were no more people to take medicine. Old Doctor Lin simply gave Shi Hua and Xie Ling a day off and said, "Go." Let¡¯s play, Han Shui has gone crazy somewhere, you guys should go too, it¡¯s like this every year, there¡¯s nothing to do before the year, don¡¯t hold yourself back.¡±
Shi Hua thanked her and took Xie Ling out. She went to the East Market and went straight to a stall on the corner of the street. She bought a large roll of red paper and spent a lot of money. Xie Ling felt a little sick when she saw it. But seeing that Shi Hua didn't seem to care, he let it go. For him, as long as Ah Jiu liked it, he would be willing to spend more money.
After buying red paper, I asked a vendor to help cut it. When I passed by an art store, I went in and bought a wolf brush. It was not the usual writing type, but a larger wolf brush. Xie Ling looked at it and said to Shi Hua. Said: "Ajiu, are you going to write a couplet?"
Shi Hua responded: "Yes, let's go to the streets to sell couplets."
It is now December 17th and 18th, and in a few days it will be the Little New Year. It seems that the New Year's Eve is not far away, but most people's couplets have not been taken off yet. Shi Hua visited the East Market for two days and didn't see any. The couplet seller thought this was an opportunity to make money, so he made a prompt decision and dragged Xie Ling over.
The two of them barely occupied a stall at the entrance to the market. They had all their pens, ink, paper and inkstones laid out. When the two little kids did this, they inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by. Some good people even came around to look at them and said, "Children, Are you going to sell couplets? It¡¯s still early to post couplets.¡±
Shi Hua smiled, took a piece of red paper and pressed it with a paperweight, and said, "Uncle is right, so it is cheaper to buy couplets now. In a few days, the price will be expensive."
After hearing this, the uncle thought the same thing and couldn't help but asked along the lines of the words: "How do you sell these couplets?"
Shi Hua said: "It opens today and only sells 20 coins a pair."
The uncle joked: "Could it be different tomorrow?"
Shi Hua didn¡¯t answer, but smiled and said nothing, so the uncle said: ¡°Okay, if that¡¯s the case, if you write well, I will buy two copies and paste them back, just to cheer you up.¡±
Shi Hua agreed and asked Xie Ling to polish the ink. The uncle looked at it for a long time, but he still didn¡¯t see the adults coming. He said, "Where are your adults? The person who wrote the couplets hasn't come yet?"
Shi Hua licked the tip of the wolf's hair and replied without raising her head: "I am the one who wrote the couplet, no one else."
When the uncle heard this, he was immediately stunned. Seeing Shi Hua about to write, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Heywait a minute!"
The deal has already been made, why should we stop halfway? The thick black ink drew a beautiful and full arc on the red paper. The uncle sighed a few times and couldn't stop it. He couldn't help but sigh. He was also negligent. He didn't notice that these two children were there and thought they were there. An adult came to write it, so he decided to buy couplets. What kind of words could two eight- or nine-year-old children write? The boy in his family is now twelve years old. He has been in school for two years, and his handwriting is still as good as a dog scratching.
Thinking of this, the uncle felt regretful and comforted himself. Twenty cents was just twenty cents. He just threw it into the water and listened for a while. Then he stood in front of the stall and watched Shi Hua write without any hope.
He looked at it carefully, and the first word looked quite correct, probably because of good luck. Just as he was thinking this, he saw the child who was grinding his ink aside raised his head and said to him: "Uncle, don't worry, if the writing is not correct, Okay, we won¡¯t charge you any money.¡±
He said this confidently, but the uncle ignored him. He watched in surprise as Shi Hua started writing. It was as if he had eyes. Every stroke and every stroke was extremely beautiful. He wrote down each word. , like flowing clouds and flowing water, the thick ink against the big red paper looks extremely festive. The size of each character seems to have been measured with a ruler, and it is accurate. Even people who cannot read the characters think that the characters are well written. .
Because at this time, many people were watching, a couplet was written, and some people even cheered and applauded loudly.
After finishing the last stroke, Shi Hua put down the wolf hair and said with a smile: "I will live in a treasured land for thousands of years, and everything will be prosperous for my family. Uncle, take a look, do you think it's okay?"
When the uncle saw it, he was not dissatisfied at all. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He said loudly: "Okay! Good job. Write two more pairs for me."
Shi Hua naturally agreed, and someone nearby also inquired about the price. Twenty cents for a couplet was naturally not expensive. In previous years, it would have been thirty or forty cents, or even more expensive. Nowadays, you can buy it for twenty cents. Only a fool can buy it. Not buying.
Shi Hua had been writing all afternoon, and her hands were sore, but the results were obvious. The two children wrote couplets, which were far more gimmick than others, and attracted others to rush to see them. Everyone has a herd mentality. See everyoneThey all paid for it, conscious that they couldn't suffer any loss. As they came and went, there was more business. There was a crowd of people in front of their stall, and it was so dark that they were all heads and melons gathered together. It was really spectacular.
When dusk fell and it was hard to see, the two closed the stall. There were still people who had not bought anything, so they asked them reluctantly: "Children, will you come tomorrow?"
Shi Hua smiled, sorted out her belongings, and replied crisply: "Come back, still here."
The crowd dispersed with satisfaction. Shi Hua and Xie Ling closed their stall and returned to the north of the city. Before dinner time, they got into the room and closed the door. Xie Ling poured the bag of money on the table. , there was a loud clanging sound, and the table was covered with copper plates, hundreds of them.
Finally, the two of them gathered under the window and counted for a while. There were four hundred and eighty copper coins in total. If converted into silver taels, it was almost half a tael. It was half a month's wages at the hospital!
Shi Hua felt a little regretful and said: "It's a pity that it's only for a while a year ago, but it's enough. We've made money and will send you to school next year."
As she spoke, she put the coins away again, put them together with the money she had earned from selling flowers, and hid them in the cracks of the bed. Only she and Xie Ling knew this place, so they would not lose it easily.
At dinner time, Lin Hanshui came back through the night. He was cold but full of energy. He thought it was after playing all day. The Lin family lady set out the bowls and chopsticks and invited everyone to eat. After everyone had eaten, they made tea and Lin Bubo came. Asked Lin Hanshui: "Where did you go to play today?"
Lin Hanshui replied: "I climbed the mountain to Miaokong Temple with a few classmates. The snow on the mountain has not melted at all. It was a lot of fun."
Lin Bubo asked Xie Ling and Shi Hua again where they were going to play and whether they were happy if they had a good time. Xie Ling nodded and said he was happy.
Shi Hua asked about today¡¯s situation in the medical clinic. Old Doctor Lin stroked his beard and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve had a free day, but I¡¯m not used to it.¡±
It seems that the medical clinic really has no business, so Shi Hua feels relieved. It seems that she can still go to Dongshi tomorrow.
Sure enough, the two of them went to Dongshi again the next day. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the entrance of the market, they found that their original stall had been occupied by someone else. Shi Hua didn't say anything. The two of them searched all the way and found it at the last corner. He found an empty seat and still laid out pens, ink, paper and inkstones, waiting for business to come to him.
Not long after, someone came over, probably a customer who didn¡¯t buy anything yesterday, and asked for two couplets by name. Shi Hua said, ¡°Today¡¯s couplets cost twenty-five cents per pair. Do you want any more?¡±
When the man heard this, he wondered: "Why did the price increase by five cents after I didn't see you for one day?"
Shi Hua smiled and said, "The business opened yesterday, and it only cost 20 yuan."
After hearing this, the man walked away, muttering as he walked. Shi Hua didn't leave him alone. He put down the wolf hair and sat down. When he met Xie Ling's eyes, she thought he was worried, so she comforted him with her eyes.
Not long after, many people came to inquire about the price. Shi Hua did not say anything, but only said, "Today's couplets are in twenty-five verses."
Twenty-five cents a pair is not expensive. Most people can afford it. They only buy it once a year. It is auspicious and festive. Soon, their stall is crowded with people, some even if they are not. If you buy it, you should also come over and watch the fun.
While Shi Hua was immersed in writing, she vaguely heard a surprised voice coming from the crowd: "Hua'er? Xie Ling?"
Suddenly hearing this title, Shi Hua's hand shook again, and she made a stroke with a good stroke, and a tail grew out. The writing on this piece was broken. She felt regretful, crumpled the paper with the wrong writing, and stood still for a moment. The trembling fear just now gradually dissipated.
Shi Hua then raised his head and saw Lin Hanshui standing behind the crowd, looking over on tiptoes. He obviously realized that he had disturbed Shi Hua, and he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed on his face.
Shi Hua waved to him, and he struggled to squeeze through the crowd. Xie Ling looked at him a little unhappy, but his mood was very restrained. Except for Shi Hua, almost no one could see it, let alone Lin. The water is cold.
Lin Hanshui never expected that Shi Hua and Xie Ling would be selling couplets in the East Market. He was here for shopping today. When he saw the two of them, he got interested and joined in. However, his handwriting was not very good, and he also joined in. Xie Ling took care of all the work of collecting money and laying out paper and grinding ink.
After such a day, the three of them were so tired that their backs and backs ached. When they returned to the hospital, it was already time to turn on the lights. Lin Hanshui had been shouting for a whole day, and his throat was a little sore. He couldn't say anything. Old Doctor Lin asked casually. After a few words, he told the whole story. When Old Doctor Lin heard this, he whispered a few words, and Lin Hanshui nodded repeatedly to indicate that he had taken note of it.
After dinner, Shi Hua and Xie Ling counted money as usual. They made more money today than yesterday. Xie Ling called Lin Hanshui over, and Shi Hua pushed a pile of them to him and said, "This is for you." .¡±
Lin Hanshui laughed when he saw it and refused: "No need, I'm just joining in the fun, how can I still share your money?"
Shi Hua said, "Even if you are just joining in the fun, you have also helped us a lot. How can there be any reason for you to work in vain?"
Lin Hanshui refused to take it, and before they could stop him, he slipped out, stood by the door frame and smiled at them: "I am the elder brother. Not only do I take care of you, but now I have to share your money. Let my parents and grandpa know." Yes, you have to peel me off, so please don¡¯t make it difficult for me, I still want to celebrate the New Year alone."
After he finished speaking, he ran away with a smile. Shi Hua had no choice but to give up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?For you. "
