As if he was afraid that Hehua would refuse, Qi Jintang said first, "I didn't buy it with my family's money. I made my own money to buy it for you. e3"
He Hua knew that Qi Jintang would not tell such a lie to her, but she still felt a little disbelieving as she looked him up and down. He had grown a lot taller in the past two years, and his whole body looked thinner. His eyebrows were still as handsome as when he was a child. Although he was Although he wore thick clothes in winter, it did not diminish his scholarly spirit at all, so he asked strangely: "How do you make money? This is a good embroidery piece, and the workmanship is not cheap. Where can I find it?" So much money?"
"Don't worry about the money I earned from copying books for my husband. How could I lie to you?" Qi Jintang stretched out his hand to untie the red thread bundled into a small coil and wanted to tie the lotus around his neck.
Chapter 213 Dumplings, Jiaozi Hehua reached out and grabbed the fingertips of his right hand. No wonder she touched the thin calluses on his hands just now. It turned out that they were grinded out by copying books. She rubbed the calluses on the slender fingers. , I didn’t know what to say for a while.
"It's okay, just treat it as calligraphy practice, and I also read a lot of books." Qi Jintang withdrew his hand nonchalantly, hung the pendant around Lotus's neck, and carefully tied the end of the red rope. I tied the knot and pulled hard to see if it was firm.
He Hua touched the embroidered piece pendant on her chest, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment. Although Qi Jintang never showed off, he grew up in an official family after all, and he was actually able to make money to buy things for himself. If I said in my heart that I wasn't moved, that would definitely be a lie, and I couldn't suppress the smile on my lips. The corners of my mouth turned up involuntarily, like a gracefully curved moon, and I said with half-lowered eyes: " Brother Jintang, thank you for your thoughtfulness, I also like this pendant very much."
As he spoke, a huge firework flew into the sky behind him. Qi Jintang looked at the lotus with lowered eyes and a slight smile. His cheeks were still flushed, either from the wind or from shyness. He usually looked cheerful and lively when he saw the lotus, but it was rare to see him be so gentle. Jiaozi was stunned for a moment, and then he stumbled and said: "You, as long as you like it, that's fine."
However, the tenderness of the lotus only lasted for the time of a firework to bloom, and then he said angrily: "Don't do this again in the future, I don't lack anything, you should study hard in school, and you are now It’s time to grow taller, so what if I’m exhausted from copying books?”
"Actually, I have been saving money for a long time. You will be ten years old after today. On your first birthday, I have long been thinking about giving you something. As the saying goes, nine is not ten, and you are still nine now. It's not too late to force it out." Qi Jintang looked at He Hua nagging and scolding with a fond look on his face. He stretched out his hand to pull her shoulder and asked her to look back at the fireworks. "I will remember in the future that I will never do this again. Hurry up. Let's watch the fireworks. If you miss it, maybe you can see it again later." As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on Hehua's shoulders.
The fireworks went off intermittently for half an hour. The two of them waited for a while and saw that there were no more fireworks in the sky. Then they turned around and went down the mountain, preparing to go home and eat dumplings to keep the New Year. Qi Jintang delivered the lotus flowers to the small intersection in front of his house. When Bo Rong and others came back, Shuanzi ran forward and called Brother Jintang, then he pulled Hehua and shouted: "Second sister, second sister, did you see the fireworks just now? Firecrackers can jump so high, It can also explode like a flower, have you seen it?",
Hehua stretched out her hand to warm Shuanzi's face, which was red from the cold. She smiled and watched him chattering excitedly, and kept replying: "I see it, second sister sees it, she is very beautiful."
"I wonder if my parents and eldest sister have seen it, and Aunt Zhi'er..." Shuanzi ran into the courtyard before he finished speaking.
Bo Rong smiled and said to Qi Jintang: "Jintang, I am thirty this year. It is late and I won't let you in the house. Go home and eat dumplings quickly. Don't forget to go to the temple fair on the thirteenth. "
Hehua returned the heater in her hand to Qi Jintang, and he patted her head lightly and said, "Just hold it and use it."
After sending Qi Jintang away, several people felt the heat on their faces when they entered the room. Water was boiling in two large pots to cook dumplings. Shuanzi had been sitting at the table for a long time, looking at the door eagerly, waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot. .
He Hua hurriedly changed her clothes and went to help cook the dumplings. It was very convenient to cook dumplings on a large pot stove in the countryside. The east and west stoves were turned on at the same time. The water was boiling in the pot. She held the curtain and gently pushed the dumplings down, holding a The fence as big as a small pot was pushed gently along the edge of the pot. The fat and white dumplings undulated and rolled in the pot with the boiling water, and were pushed by the fence to spin and create waves of water. The fire at the bottom of the stove was very fierce, and soon the pot was boiling and rolling. Hehua took a ladle and poured cold water into it twice until the dumplings were boiling, and the dumplings floated round and round like gold ingots. Then she used a fence to hold the pot. I fished out a full bucket of fish and soaked it in the warm water that had been prepared on the stove to prevent it from sticking to each other when the dishes were loaded. Then I controlled the water and put it into a large plate.
The two pots of dumplings were almost out of the pot, and the whole family gathered around the table. Hehua saw Jasmine's eyes wandering around the plates of dumplings, and strangely followed her line of sight, and it didn't take long for him to notice. The mystery is that the edges of some dumplings are shaped differently from others. Although the difference is not big, you can still tell if you look closely. Hehua identified the positions of those dumplings and put them in the bowls for Fang and Zhu Yongxin. Each put one in, and the remaining two were placed in Xiaoxiu and Shuanzi's bowls.
Shuanzi was tired and hungry from running outside, so he didn't care about getting hot at the moment. He picked up the bowl and started eating. When he heard a soft sound, he suddenly had a strange expression on his face and spit out a copper coin from his mouth.
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "Hey, my Shuanzi is so lucky. After eating it, you will get rich." After saying that, he blew on the dumpling and put it in his mouth. He spit out a copper plate with a weird expression, and then saw Zhu Yongxin and Zhu Yongxin. Xiaoxiu also ate everything, and she still didn't understand what was going on. She immediately looked at Jasmine angrily: "It must be you, girl, right?"
Jasmine hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I only made dumplings. Those dumplings were served to you by Lotus. It's none of my business. It's your own blessing."
Mrs. Fang turned to look at Lotus, wiped the copper coins she had eaten and placed them in front of Lotus. She said with emotion: "Hehua has good luck and a good brain. Our family's blessings are all brought by lotus."
Everyone happily ate the dumplings. Hehua, Liangzi and Bo Rong also got the copper coins one after another. When Shuanzi ate the second one, Hehua couldn't help but asked: "Sister, how many coins did you pack?" Go in?"
Jasmine stuck out her tongue and said, "There were more than a dozen or twenty, so I grabbed a handful from your small drawer where you kept your change, cleaned them and secretly packed them in."
After midnight, the sound of clappers sounded outside. Bo Rong led Xiao Xiu and his younger siblings to kowtow to Zhu Yongxin and Fang for the New Year. Both Zhu Yongxin and Fang gave the red envelopes they had prepared in advance to a few children. Zhu Yongxin carried Boning. He and Shuanzi went to the door and pulled it out. Shuanzi jumped down and bowed to the lotus and said, "Second sister, have a prosperous new year." Then he looked at the lotus with his big eyes.
Hehua reached out and pinched Shuanzi's nose, took out a small red envelope from her arms and stuffed it into him and said, "Look at how promising you are. Second sister is true to her word, take the new year's money."
