Finally I finished writing it, and I fell down almost exhausted. I went to find the editor to change the chapter name, and then I was going to put it on the bed to catch up on some sleep, and take a rest on my arms and hands that were covered with plasters...
And I solemnly apologize to everyone for the inconvenience caused to my readers!

The work in the fields became more and more busy, and even Zhu went to help the Yang family with the work. Zhi'er was watching a few children at home, and was still busy embroidering a bellyband for brother Liu.
Hehua saw that the work she was doing was no worse than Lin's, and that the needles were very different from what Lin taught her, so she asked Aunt Zhi'er, where is your hometown? Is this an embroidery method? "
"My hometown is in the countryside in the south, but I just learned Chapter 123: The Thoughts on Chinese Valentine's Day from my family. Does anyone have a name?" Zhi'er embroidered a flower magpie on her bellyband and split one. Finally, the black silk thread was embroidered with bright black eyes. Even if it was finally finished, I asked Brother Liu to compare the size. When he saw that it was a good fit, he tightened the needle and bit off the thread, and planned to give it to Brother Liu after running it through the water. Wear it on the upper body.
"Aunt Zhier's magpie embroidery is just in time for the occasion. It will be July 7th in two days." Hehua saw the magpie embroidery vividly and couldn't bear to put it down in her hand.
"Yes, it will be Chinese Valentine's Day in two days." Zhi'er wrapped the silk thread and put it back in the basket. After hearing what He Hua said, she suddenly thought of Shen'er.
People in the north don't seem to pay much attention to the Chinese Valentine's Day and usually don't take it seriously. Hehua asked Zhi'er, Aunt Zhi'er, "Is the Chinese Valentine's Day lively at your place?" I heard people say that people in the south pay special attention to Chinese Valentine's Day, and there are so many fun things to do! "
"That's when July enters every year, the streets begin to become lively. There are people selling mills, water floats, rice noodles, and all kinds of food. There are also people selling lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the street. , and some people went directly to the pond to pick... Lotus, even though your name is Lotus, have you never seen what a lotus looks like?" Zhi'er recalled in a daze, Chapter 123 The thoughts of Chinese Valentine's Day came later I'm afraid I've never seen the lotus in question.
"I've only seen lotus leaves and lotus flowers in paintings." Hehua stuck out her tongue and said, "But what you talked about is having fun, floating on water... and being old-fashioned? Are they all these?"
"Mohele is the god Manolo, one of the eight gods of Buddhism. He makes dolls out of various materials. Some wealthy people also use gold, silver or jade to make dolls. They also carve shelves out of wood with paintings on them. There are various patterns on them. To float on the water is to make molds of ducks, geese, mandarin ducks, turtles, fish, etc., then pour melted yellow wax inside, draw patterns on them, and make them float on the water. That’s why it’s called floating on water. Grain boards are actually the simplest ones. My family has no money and can’t afford anything else. When I was a child, I often made grain boards with my playmates. I found a wooden board, spread a layer of soil on it, and then sprinkled it with Seeds, water them and wait until they grow. Then put small huts made of wood or other things on them, insert flowers, small fences, and dwarfs who can carve out various shapes and place them in the yard. In, in the house..."
After hearing this, Hehua suddenly realized that she had just made a miniature farmhouse model. Seeing Zhi'er's expression when she recalled these moments, her heart moved. She continued to ask for a while, and then nodded repeatedly as if she was satisfied with the story. Zhi'er looked at the children, and Hehua went to the warehouse to find a wooden board, put a thick layer of soil on it, patted it into a square shape, sprinkled sorghum seeds on it, poured water on it and covered it with a layer of soil. , put it in a ventilated and warm place, and watered it several times a day. It was hot now, and it didn't take long for a layer of green and fluffy seedlings to grow. Zhu Yongxin was very tired every day, and Hehua didn't want to bother him anymore, so he slowly thought about it with small wooden boards and small pieces of wood, and finally came up with a rough shape of a house, which he placed in the middle of the wooden boards and made small branches. After inserting a criss-crossing fence and paving a path on the soil with pebbles, she really couldn't make a wooden figure. Later, she cut out the shapes of several small figures with thick paper and drew the facial features and facial features. clothes, then glue a small wooden stick on the back of the paper and insert it on the wooden board.
On the morning of the seventh day of July, she got up early and gave this grain plate to Aunt Zhi'er Dao Zhi'er. This is for you, so you don't want to go back to your hometown, but if you are homesick, take a look at this. . "
Zhi'er didn't expect that Hehua would hear what he said casually that day, and he was so moved that he was speechless. Looking at the exquisitely made grain boards, he only said one sentence for a long time: "We, Hehua, are so skillful." , so beautifully done. "Putting the grain board on the kangqin in the room, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Lotus, let's have a great Chinese Valentine's Day today. I'll make delicious food for you. Let's come together to beg for luck in the evening. "
Seeing that Zhi'er was in such good spirits, Zhu naturally agreed and said, "Well, we have several girls in our family. You can lead them to have a good day!" "
Zhi'er added sugar and honey to make dough, and taught Jasmine, Peony and Lotus how to make various kinds of dough-shaped fruits, and then deep-fry them. They are the so-called Qiaoguozi, and they are also called Xiaoji'er in some places. At that time, I put a large basin of water under the sun to dry in the sun, preparing for the injection of needles and divination at night. I also fetched water from the well to warm it in the sun. I washed the hair of several girls, wiped off the water drops and dried them. Make it into two small buns, tie it with colorful silk and wear beads.
Hehua looked at Jasmine and Shaoyao, and then raised her hand to touch the two small buns. She felt that they looked like the little maid with a bun she had seen on TV before. She couldn't help laughing and said, "She and Shaoyao looked at the Bodhisattva." Like a little girl. "
"Tch, then who are you?" Jasmine stretched out her hand to touch the crooked lotus flower and help her straighten it.
"Didn't Mom say that I am the lotus in front of the Bodhisattva?" Hehua shook his head and said, "I'm used to having my hair braided, but it's really uncomfortable to do it like this."
Zhi'er pulled Lotus and looked up and down, stretched out his hand to touch her face and said that Lotus looks like this. Dressed up like this, she really reminds you of a girl from the south. She is so hydrated and looks like a lotus. "
Qixi Festival activities are all in the evening, and the children are looking forward to having dinner quickly. Even Mrs. Lin joins in the fun. When it got dark, all the stars in the sky were shining with fluorescence. The branch pointed at the two shining stars on both sides of the Milky Way and told them that the very bright one was Vega, and there were four small stars below Vega. It just can be connected into a rhombus, which is the shuttle of Weaver Girl weaving. On the other side, far opposite to Weaver Girl, is Altair. The two slightly darker stars on both sides are the children of Cowherd and his daughter, and today is the day. The one time a year they can reunite as a family.
There was a kang table on the straw mat in the yard, with sweets, seasonal fruits, and some snacks such as candies and coins. Zhi'er hugged Brother Liu and told the children the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and then led a few girls Put an embroidery needle into the dried water, and then look at the shadow of the needle in the moonlight. You can say that this shadow is a flower and that shadow is a cloud. No matter what shadow is cast on the left or right, the branches will say a few auspicious words. , and then said it was a coincidence.
Then, under the encouragement of Lotus, Fang, Lin, Zhu and Zhier competed in needle-threading. Unexpectedly, Fang was the winner in the end, and the seven needles were pierced in one breath without any pause.
When Mrs. Lin saw this, she threw down the needlework in her hand and said that the second sister-in-law is really hiding her secrets. She usually doesn't see such a capable person, so I won't show my shame. "
"I'm just good at threading needles. When it comes to needlework, I can't even compare half as well as you." Mrs. Fang said humbly, "I'm just lucky."
"That's none of my business. Since my second sister-in-law won, she has to show something. It's up to you whether you want to sing a song or tell a story. Anyway, you have to show us your skills." Mrs. Lin laughed with her. Said.
"Please forgive me, I don't know how to sing and tell stories!" Ms. Fang quickly begged for mercy.
Lotus also helps out. Aunt Daozhier sings one! "
When Zhi'er heard this, she didn't refuse. After thinking for a moment, she sang away from the computer room. She felt sad in her heart, thinking about Qian Niu, which made me infinitely sad. Ever since he was demoted to the mortal realm by the Queen Mother, I have been left alone to weave brocade. Every day I look secretly in the clouds, hating that the clouds separate the human world from heaven... If only a magpie could fly up to deliver the message, telling me how much I miss you after parting, I feel lonely and alone, as if the threads of love are hard to cut, and dull and dull. It's like standing in the clouds in a daze, thinking about Morning Bull and looking through the autumn water, the tenderness of the heart is broken. In the dream of Morning Bull, it is difficult to see the tears flowing into springs. The delicate food of Morning Bull is lazily swallowing the tasteless fairy delicacies. The sorrow of Morning Bull is like the sea, and it is difficult to smile again... "
I don’t know where the tune is from, but Zhi’er sings it gracefully and touchingly, and her singing seems to contain infinite melancholy. I don’t know if she is singing about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, or about the lover from her hometown.
Fang listened to her singing in rapt attention, and couldn't help but look at Zhu. Both of them sighed silently. Anyone who has experienced such a thing would be lying if he said he didn't feel any pain. Zhi'er can be considered a She is very strong, but her hometown and the past will probably always be scars in her heart that cannot be erased.
It was getting late, Zhu Laosi came to pick up Lin. Shuanzi and Brother Liu were already lying on the straw mats and sleeping soundly. Although Hehua was holding on, her eyelids were a little twitching. Only Jasmine and Shaoyao were sleeping for the first time. After spending Chinese Valentine's Day like this, listening to stories and music, the two of us were a little overly excited.
Zhu Rangzhier hugged Brother Liu to sleep, and Mrs. Fang sent the children back to the house, and the yard suddenly became quiet.
"Do you think Zhi'er is homesick?" Mrs. Fang sighed, "That child is really pitiful. He is only seventeen this year, and is not a few years older than our child. If he is safe, he is now When she got married and had children, she was supposed to be a harmonious and beautiful person, but she ended up like this."
"I have long since noticed that she is homesick, but after trying to ask her several times, she refused to tell her where her hometown is. I told her that I would give her money to show her home, but she refused, so I couldn't say more. Ask."
"But thinking about it, after being abducted and sold to a place like that, who can go home and face relatives and neighbors without taking it seriously? You see her smiling when doing things, but she is actually feeling miserable! "Ms. Fang had just drank some wine, and now she was a little drunker. She simply lay down on the straw mat and looked at the stars in the sky. "You said what do people want in this life? Isn't it just to have a harmonious family? Yes, the children will be safe and sound in the future, and we will live a peaceful and stable life in our hearts. Isn’t that better than anything else?”
"Why are you talking about this?" Zhu Ye went to lie down next to Fang.
"It's nothing. I took Hehua to the city to see a doctor two days ago. Xiaoxiu asked me to bring the amulet she went to the temple to ask for to Bo Rong. Although it's not a big deal, I can see that Xiaoxiu is pretending. Bo Rong's makes me feel very comfortable." There was a smile in Fang's voice, "Now that I think about it, I am getting married now, and I am getting old, and I will be able to marry him in two years. Grandson."
"Ms. Shuanzi, do you still remember that I told you before that when you and my brother went to do the horoscope calculation, the fortune teller said that you were a person who would have a good future? Look at our family now. Needless to say, Bo Kai asked his mother to delay him. Boyuan's knowledge has always been so-so and he can't move, let alone the third family. I'll keep my brother here to see if he can't do it. What will happen in the future? No, you are the most blessed in the whole family. Your daughter is sensible and your life is getting more and more prosperous. Therefore, one has to believe in fate. Whether it is suffering or enjoying happiness, it is all determined by God early in the morning. Live your life well, your blessings are yet to come!”
"I can't think so far ahead now that I will never be blessed again. I just hope that the eldest son will be married next year, and then hope that he will live a harmonious life after marriage. In a blink of an eye, even Jasmine has reached the age of proposing marriage, and Hehua, Bonin and Shuanzi They look still small, but they can’t stand growing up. In the blink of an eye, the children are all grown up.” Mrs. Fang took advantage of the wine and said, “To be honest, I sometimes think about it, in fact, my oldest child is Blessing is to give birth to a lotus. Sometimes I can't sleep and wonder to myself, is the lotus really the reincarnation of a golden lotus? Otherwise, how can it be so smart? Nowadays, she has figured out everything that makes the family money and makes a living. Her father told me last time that if Hehua were a boy, the family would have to provide him with a good future even if he sold houses and land. Unfortunately, he is a girl. No matter how strong he is, he will never be able to get married and have children in the future. … I’m afraid I’m really drunk today, and if I’m not afraid of your jokes, I really feel from the bottom of my heart that no one in the world is worthy of my lotus.”
"Mothers always take good care of their own children, not to mention that your lotus is even better." After hearing what Fang said, Zhu joked, "How about you just find someone to step in for her in the future and let her I will stay with you forever."
