Qiao Yicheng and his younger brother Qiao Qiqi went out for an hour or two and brought back a considerable amount and a wide variety of new year's goods, which surprised Qiao Erqiang's three children who were waiting anxiously.

Seeing Qiao Erqiang who kept stuffing sweets into his mouth, Qiao Yicheng was angry and distressed. In later generations, children would not be willing to eat these things. What they wanted were imported candies and chocolates.

"Second Qiang, what did I tell you last time? Why did you forget it so quickly?"

"Oh! Brother, this candy is so delicious!

I couldn't hold it back for a moment!" Qiao Erqiang explained incoherently.

Seeing his troubled siblings, Qiao Yicheng walked out of the house with the remaining New Year's goods without saying anything else.

"Brother, where are you going with your things?"

"Go to my second aunt's house!"

I have spent all my money today. If I want to continue running the stall tomorrow, I must have capital. If "scumbag dad" Qiao Zuwang is involved, he will eat up everything by himself.

So Qiao Yicheng immediately thought of his second aunt Wei Shufang. To be more precise, Qiao Yicheng went for his uncle Qi Zhiqiang. Regardless of his character or ability, his second uncle Qi Zhiqiang was unquestionable.

Wei Shufang and Qi Zhiqiang had surprised expressions when they saw Qiao Yicheng coming to their home with a large bag of things. When they heard Qiao Yicheng's explanation, their expressions immediately turned into shock.

"Yicheng, are you telling the truth?" Wei Shufang looked at her eldest nephew Qiao Yicheng with some doubts.

"Of course it's true!

There should be pen, ink, and paper in Qi Weimin's house, right?

Why don't I show my hand on the spot and you won't have any doubts anymore."

"Haha, what a coincidence!

I just bought red paper yesterday and am about to write a couplet!" Second uncle Qi Zhiqiang chose to believe Qiao Yicheng directly and turned around to get the red paper.

Qiao Yicheng smiled when he heard Qi Zhiqiang's words, then directly took the pen and ink handed over by Qi Weimin and started writing on the red paper handed over by Qi Zhiqiang.

When Qi Zhiqiang opened his mouth to speak, Wei Shufang showed an unhappy expression, rolled her eyes at her uncle Qi Zhiqiang, and complained in a low voice, "What if I'm bragging? Our family will be blinded by a piece of red paper!"

"

Qi Zhiqiang and Wei Shufang have been married for many years, so why don't they understand her personality? He just shook his head and smiled helplessly, and ignored Wei Shufang.

I saw Qiao Yicheng writing a couplet on the red paper in one go with facial expressions, and reciting loudly, "The first couplet means prosperity, prosperity, wealth, and luck; the second couplet means prosperity for family, prosperity for people, and prosperity for career.

It’s home and everything that makes everything prosperous.”

Seeing the beautiful calligraphy and Qiao Yicheng's recital, the whole family looked at Qiao Yicheng in shock.

A picture was immediately woven into his mind, as if he was seeing an outsider who was dancing and writing. Even Wei Shufang, who was illiterate, was speechless.

Qiao Yicheng's behavior of directly revealing his hand made the Qi family no longer question themselves, and the next thing became much simpler.

"Yicheng, are you really getting these New Year's goods by writing couplets today?"

"Yes! Second aunt!

Uncut red paper is cheaper, but cut red paper is much more expensive!

So I need Qi Weimin to help me cut paper so that we can make more money.

I also want my second uncle to help me take care of my business. After all, I am still a child and there is no chance that someone will bully me!"

"Haha, that makes sense!

How about letting Second Aunt me go?

I can collect the money for you!”

"Second aunt, you have a more important thing, which is to take care of Qiao Qiqi for a few days."

"Haha, I almost forgot about little baby Qiqi!

This little guy is really fat from what he eats!" Second aunt Wei Shufang then remembered Qiao Qiqi in Qiao Yicheng's arms, and she quickly hugged him and kissed him in surprise.

Qiao Yicheng directly rejected the request of his second aunt Wei Shufang. In fact, the main reason was that Qiao Yicheng didn't like this second aunt very much. He felt that she and Qiao Zuwang were the same kind of people, both relatively selfish people.

As a child, I don't know much about the grievances of the previous generation, and there are many secrets that were not shown in the TV series. Just looking at the subsequent behavior of Qi Weiyi and Qi Xiaoya, you can tell that they followed Wei Shufang's character.

Setting up a stage and writing couplets is just a temporary means of making ends meet. If selfish people like Qiao Zuwang and Wei Shufang are allowed to participate, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Uncle Qi Zhiqiang is a true national good uncle, and cousin Qi Weimin is also a pure good man. Only when he leaves his back to the two of them can Qiao Yicheng truly feel at ease.

...

The next day, my uncle Qi Zhiqiang happened to have a rest and could accompany Qiao Yicheng to set up a stall. The three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few rolls of red paper and spare pen and ink, and then arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel yesterday.

Aunt Liu, the middle-aged woman from yesterday, smiled and greeted Qiao Yicheng when she saw him, "Yicheng, you're here!"

I've set the table for you!"

"Thank you Aunt Liu!

Today I brought my uncle and my cousin.

They helped me greet the guests and cut the red paper, and I just wrote couplets."

"Haha, you are so smart!

There were many fellow villagers who came to our hotel just now, asking if you would come?"

"Really? That would be great!"

Father and son Qi Zhiqiang and Qi Weimin nodded to Aunt Liu. After all, they didn't know each other, so both parties felt somewhat awkward.

But seeing Qiao Yicheng chatting and laughing with each other, both father and son Qi Zhiqiang and Qi Weimin showed admiration. They didn't know that there is a word in later generations called "social awesomeness syndrome", otherwise they would raise their eyebrows at Qiao Yicheng.

A thumbs up, and then say "Awesome"!

Soon the three people with a clear division of labor began to work on their own. Just when Qi Zhiqiang and Qi Weimin, father and son, were worried about whether anyone would come, they saw that many people had slowly gathered in front of their stall.

There was no need for them to yell, Qi Weimin kept cutting the red paper, Qiao Yicheng just lowered his head to write couplets, and Qi Zhiqiang did not need to greet the guests. He only needed to take what the fellows handed him, and then blow dry the ink on the written couplets and hand them to the fellows.

Just fine.

Seeing more and more fellow villagers and their admiration for the couplets written by Qiao Yicheng, Qi Zhiqiang became more and more frightened, and soon he began to become numb, because many fellow villagers had to wait for the ink to dry.

Taking the couplets will easily lead to a fight, so Qi Zhiqiang is more focused on maintaining order.

Whether Qi Weimin was busy cutting red paper or Qi Zhiqiang was maintaining order, Qiao Yicheng didn't pay attention because he was concentrating on writing the couplet.

He thought about traveling through five worlds in a row, and he didn't even know the meaning of doing so?

Is it just for the so-called rewards of the system?

Qiao Yicheng suddenly felt aggrieved from the five worlds, suppressed his desire to vent, and could only vent himself by writing couplets.

Suddenly, he had a feeling that the reason why the system was kind enough to let him master the calligraphy was because it might have noticed a change in his mentality.

Probably the system was also worried that Qiao Yicheng would become a lunatic, so it asked Qiao Yicheng not only to learn calligraphy, but also to learn music knowledge, just to let Qiao Yicheng know how to self-mediate.

The more Qiao Yicheng thought about it, the more he realized that this was how the system was thinking. Suddenly he felt that the system was too insidious, and every step he took was to squeeze him.

At this time, Qiao Yicheng realized the insidiousness of the system and felt very lucky that he did not take that "Dali Pill". How could such an insidious system reward him with such a precious thing? He must not be holding back any good deeds.

Soon they ran out of red paper and finished writing the couplets. Then Qiao Yicheng woke up and looked at the crowd spreading around. He didn't notice that there were two old men in the crowd observing him.

"Yicheng, you're tired! Take a rest!" Qi Zhiqiang handed Qiao Yicheng a glass of water with a look of joy on his face.

"Thank you, uncle!" Qiao Yicheng took it and drank heavily.

After drinking a large bowl of water, Qiao Yicheng felt much better, as if he had returned to the human world again.

"Yicheng, you are so awesome!

I have never seen someone who can write couplets so well!" At this time, Qi Weimin also looked at his cousin Qiao Yicheng with admiration.

"Weimin, do you want to learn? I can teach you!"

"Really? Yi Cheng! Are you willing to teach me!"

"Haha, don't worry!

With a master-level calligrapher like me teaching you, you will definitely learn quickly!"

“Fuck you calligraphy master!

Do I still need to pay you a discipleship ceremony?" Qi Weimin said with a smile as he looked at his funny cousin Qiao Yicheng.

Qi Zhiqiang was also very happy for his cousins ​​who loved each other. Seeing that Qiao Yicheng was so capable, the uncle was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle, do you have a dollar with you?"

"Huh? Yes!" Qi Zhiqiang was a little confused, but still took out a dollar and handed it to Qiao Yicheng.

Qiao Yicheng took the dollar handed over by Qi Zhiqiang and walked straight into the state-owned hotel behind him. He still needed to set up a stall here for a few days. It would be very uninteresting to give Aunt Liu a couplet like yesterday.

"Aunt Liu, our business is very good today!"

"Haha, all the guests who come to the restaurant are praising you as a child prodigy!"

"Aunt Liu, please don't make fun of me!

How could there be such a great child prodigy as me!

Aunt Liu, can you find a quiet place? I want to talk to you about something."
