Gu Zi shook her head with a smile, reassuring her father, “Dad, you don’t need to say such things. The villagers caused the commotion, not you. Besides, it’s all in the past. Let’s not bring it up again. Look, this is the couplet that Su Bing, Su Li, and I wrote. The first line reads ‘Birdsong and fragrant flowers fill the spring hall,’ and the second line is ‘Happiness and good health bring fortune to the home.’ The horizontal scroll reads ‘Great luck in the New Year.’ What do you think?”

She stepped forward, pointing out the characters as she read them aloud, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at her father. It was clear she was seeking his praise. Lin Lao’er, seeing his outstanding and adorable daughter, felt a sense of comfort. He momentarily forgot about the unpleasant matters and decided to enjoy the moment. “Good, very good. Su Bing must have written the horizontal scroll, right? It’s well written. All of it is well written.”

Su Li was surprised. He glanced at his brother. Indeed, the four characters were written by him and his brother under their mother’s guidance. He had written ‘New Year,’ and his brother had written ‘Great Luck.’ He ran up and asked, “Grandpa, how did you know we wrote these four characters? Our names aren’t written on it.”

Lin Lao’er held Su Li back, smiling kindly at him. “Your handwriting is lively and spirited. The characters you write are slightly rounded, and the brush strokes are somewhat blunt. It’s clear that they were written by children. But you both did very well. Of course, your mother’s writing is even better. Her strokes are a perfect balance of firm and gentle, her characters are graceful and elongated, and her brush strokes are warm and lively. You both still have a lot to learn.”

At this, both Su Bing and Gu Zi looked surprised. Along with the already surprised Su Li, three faces turned to Lin Lao’er in astonishment. Gu Zi voiced the question in her heart, “Dad, you understand calligraphy? When did you learn?”

For the first time, Lin Lao’er found himself the center of attention and was unsure how to respond. He rubbed the back of his neck modestly, “I can probably understand it, but I wouldn’t say I know calligraphy. Actually, I learned to write with a brush after I met your mother. She taught me. By the way, you probably don’t know this, but your mother’s calligraphy is very beautiful.

“Before your brother was born, she wrote quite a few character practice books. I’ve kept them all, and they’re still in good condition. Would you like to see them?”
