Boiled tofu, melon and eggplant, tall wife, children and grandchildren (couplet+main hall)

Author, Ma Hengjian, member of China Calligraphers Association, vice chairman of Xingtai Calligraphers Association and member of Hebei Artists Association.

If so, I heard that there was once a poor scholar who lived frugally and was very poor. One day, Yaxing was furious. He took care of his family, bought some tofu, eggplant, melons and so on, and invited his wife, children and grandchildren to have dinner together. In the dining room, he wrote a book and said, "If you cook tofu, melons and eggplant, you can have a good time with your wife, children and grandchildren."

The original author meant to dig at the sourness of the poor scholar, but I didn't expect it. I didn't feel the sourness of the scholar, but I admired the scholar's peace of mind and realized the harmonious atmosphere of his family. I informed the calligrapher Mr. Ma Hengjian of this idea. Mr. Ma was so impressed by my idea that I took the opportunity to ask him to write a couplet for me. After the couplet was formed, I asked him to create this picture of nave for me according to the artistic conception of the couplet.
