Chapter 110 - Writing Couplets

Yu Bing had no intention of blaming her. She only told Ren Yue, “I know that the Spring Festival is a special holiday, but the chickens still have to move around normally. You guys can just release them for about two hours every day. You can go there when you feed them at other times.”

As long as they released them, they would have to count them one by one when they returned to the chicken coop before they could complete their work for the day. It was a little time-consuming to count 2,000 chickens per person, so Ren Yue wanted to slack off during the new year.

But Yu Bing gave clear instructions now, so she would naturally do as she was asked.

At the time, Li An felt that there wasn’thing much to do in the orchard these days, so he hadn’t thought of arranging for anyone to check.

Ou Qin was an intellectual, and her parents were also workers in the factory, so she knew the rule that someone had to be on duty even if they didn’t produce anything. “Miss Yu, I have arranged for two people to be on duty every day. One person is responsible for the morning and one person is responsible for the afternoon.”

Yu Bing nodded in approval of this arrangement. Seeing this, Li An expressed that he would arrange for staff to be on duty when he returned.

After this, Yu Bing’s work before the holiday came to an end.

Every year, during these two days, someone would help the villagers write couplets. In the village, the accountant Mr. Wei and a few young adults knew how to write calligraphy. There would be five tables per five people. Those who wanted people to write calligraphy would look at their calligraphy and choose whoever handwriting they liked.

Because they were from the same village, no one dared to accept the money. However, the villagers would still take two eggs or some biscuits and sweets as payment for the person who wrote the couplet. However, they had to pay for the red paper themselves.

Writing the couplets were concentrated in the past two days, and there were more than 200 families in the village. Besides those who had to do housecleaning and prepare for the New Year’s meal, the others joined in the fun.

Yao Nian knew how to write calligraphy, so when he found out about this, he also participated in writing couplets. How could he miss the chance to show off his talent?!

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun took two eggs and a handful of candy and red paper to the rice field.

When Yu Bing saw Yao Nian, she skipped over him. As the saying went, words were reflective of a person. Yao Nian’s handwriting was indeed not bad, but after recognizing his true colors, she could only say that he was very superficial. Even the words he wrote were as hypocritical as him.

When Yu Bing arrived, many people greeted her. Yao Nian naturally knew and was especially attentive when writing. Even his posture was better than before. He hoped that Yu Bing would take a fancy to his handwriting and take the initiative to ask him to write it. This way, he could salvage his image.

Unexpectedly, Yu Bing chose someone else without even looking at him. Although Yao Nian tried his best to control his anger, he still accidentally wrote a word wrong. Fortunately, everyone would have two extra sets of red paper to write their couplets.

Yao Nian looked at the new red paper that had just been laid out. He paused for a few seconds before he composed himself and started writing again.

When the people around them saw this, they looked at the two of them with curiosity.

Yu Bing was indifferent. She left after the person finished writing the couplets. Yao Nian felt uncomfortable because he still had to stay there.

Yu Yan was also here to join in the fun. After seeing this situation, she felt a little ambivalent. She had a good impression of Yao Nian, but if Yu Bing didn’t like Yao Nian at all, then what was the point of her doing all this?

Yu Yan stayed for a while before returning to the dormitory. She had to think about how to deal with Yu Bing next.

After Yu Bing and Jiang Chun returned home, they started to paste the couplets. They even specifically cut the paper into squares and let the young man who wrote the couplets write the word “fortune” on the courtyard door twice.

After the small courtyard was pasted with red couplets and the word ‘fortune’, the atmosphere instantly became lively!

Yu Bing felt a little emotional that time had flown by so fast. Half a year felt like it had passed in the blink of an eye, unlike her previous life, where she was trapped in the fields and dormitory every day. At that time, every day felt like a year to her.

Yu Bing was quite satisfied with herself when she thought about how she had done many meaningful things, such as going out and getting to know a lot of people, and working on the village’s ecological industry chain.

Her rebirth couldn’t be for the sake of revenge. Revenge was just someone she would do in passing. She had to fill this life with excitement that was absent in her previous life!

After the two of them cleaned up the house, they ate a simple dinner at night. After all, tomorrow was the day of the feast.
