The winter sun ended early, and Qian Limin went home early. During the Chinese New Year, you don't need to stay in the sheep pen all day, just feed the Leymus chinensis at noon every day.

Seeing his eldest brother was mending the lantern, Qian Limin also sat down to help.

Qian Limin is best at writing and drawing on lanterns. In previous years, people in the village scrambled to ask him to help draw lanterns. Now that his right hand is disabled, the villagers don't come to him to write Spring Festival couplets and paint lanterns, and they are unavoidably disappointed.

"I'm almost done, you can paint on the lantern."

Qian Liguo seemed to have forgotten that his brother's right hand was crippled, and he lowered his head to focus on the octagonal lantern on his hand.

The lantern frame was previously bought in the town. It has been used for several years. Every year, it is replaced with new tissue paper, and repainted with colorful paintings just like the new ones.

This year Wang Guizhen deliberately bought a tassel of gold thread and red string and hung it under the palace lantern to look even more beautiful.

"I can't paint, eldest brother, you can paint, you can't paint worse than me."

With a wry smile, Qian Limin moved the boxes of paint beside Qian Liguo to Qian Liguo, took up the paintbrush and washed it in the bowl of water, looking at the water droplets on the pen nib with a daze.

"There is nothing you can't paint. As long as you can move your feet, you can paint. If you let you paint, you can paint."

Qian Liguo still didn't look up, but his tone of voice was a bit harsh.

"I really can't paint. I'll go outside to see if the tofu is frozen."

Qian Limin put down his paintbrush and stood up, trying to escape the embarrassing situation before him. At this time, Qian Liwei and Wang Xiaoming came out of the house. Qian Liwei saw the octagonal lantern, and ran over excitedly, wanting to hold it in his hand for a while.

"This is not for you."

Qian Liguo avoided Qian Liwei's little hands and put the freshly laminated lantern on the big table. The two little boys were warned that they should not be allowed to touch them, so that the lanterns were burnt, and if they were broken, they would have to spank their buttocks.

Qian Liwei and Wang Xiaoming nodded quickly. Qian Limin simply asked the two little boys to go out with him, and Qian Liwei and Wang Xiaoming ran out of the house after Qian Limin.

Looking at his younger brother Qian Limin's back, Qian Liguo shook his head and sighed.

"The big country in the cold weather is going out to work?"

The second wife of Qian’s wife came out of the house, just to see Qian Liguo’s back.

Sitting on the kang, Wang Guizhen continued to gesture at Xiao Jiaojiao's newly bought underwear. Hearing what Qian's second wife said, she smiled and said:

"The big country went to Liu Dahui's house~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Liu Dahui asked the big country to make him a chair, presumably to see the craftsmanship of the big country."

"The craftsmanship of the great powers is worth mentioning! If you want to see the craftsmanship of the great powers, just take the two chairs that the great powers bring back. Why bother to make people work for the New Year? I think Liu Dahui is free to use the great powers to work."

"Nor say that. After all, Liu Dahui is the master of a great country. Isn't it the old saying that you will be a teacher for a day and a father for life."

"That's true, it's weird to say that the craftsmanship of the big country was first learned from Liu Dazhu. Liu Dazhu did not teach his son to learn carpentry, but he was willing to teach our big country!"

The second wife of Qian’s wife sat back on the edge of the kang again, reaching out to play with the cloth and small clothes piled in the kang.

Wang Guizhen picked up a piece of red checkered fabric and gestured on Xiao Jiaojiao's body, and praised Xiao Jiaojiao for looking good in everything, just like a doll in a New Year picture.

Putting down the red plaid fabric, stretched out the New Year picture that he had just bought from the town, and took a look at the doll holding the big carp in the New Year picture, and then at Xiao Jiaojiao, she was so happy from ear to ear.

"Our little Jiaojiao is exactly the same as the doll in the New Year picture!"
