The two talked in the room for a while. Miao'er came in and said that Xiaoxiu had gotten up and Bo Rong had gone home. He asked Qi Jintang and Hehua if they wanted to go over now.
The two of them got up, put on their coats, and headed forward. He Hua entered the room to talk to Xiao Xiu, and Qi Jintang and Borong went to the flower hall to drink tea. When it was almost dark in the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner was already being laid out in the dining room, and the whole family People chatted and laughed for more than an hour. The dishes on the table were brought out and heated twice. Both Bo Rong and Qi Jintang were slightly blushing from drinking. Both children also ate happily. Xiaoxiu also felt that the dishes were delicious. The food tastes very good. I told He Hua that I should reward the cooks.
Although Hehua saw Qi Jintang talking and laughing with Bo Rong, she still felt that he had just suppressed his homesickness, thinking about what he could do to solve the problem. He can do it.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Baoer and Lizi chased Xiaoxiu and asked what time it was, as if they were anxious to go out.
Xiaoxiu led the two children into the house to get dressed, and then said to Hehua: "The county will set off fireworks by the river, and many people doing business and running boats will also go to the river to set off cannons and fireworks. It's lively there." Yes, there are many selling various gadgets, do you two want to join in the fun?"
He Hua was a little moved when she heard that. She turned around and saw Qi Jintang and Bo Rong still talking outside, so she quietly said to Xiao Xiu: "Jintang seems to be homesick. He was a little distracted before he came over at noon. I want to go out with him by myself." But no one needs to follow me, just tell me how to get to the river."
Xiaoxiu nodded understandingly after hearing this, dipped her hand in tea and drew a rough route on the table for Hehua to show, and then said, "Actually, you can't go wrong as long as you follow the flow of people. If you can't remember when you come back, just find someone." Ask the county government office, anyone who is local will know about it."
After packing up, the two families parted ways at the door and went shopping respectively. Qi Jintang and Hehua didn't ask for a sedan or a car. He led the two girls and slowly walked towards the river with the crowd.
Sure enough, as Xiaoxiu said, you can see vendors carrying burdens along the way, shouting and selling goods while walking to the river. It is not like the New Year's Eve in the north at all. Every household is having a reunion at home behind closed doors. The New Year's Eve here is like a lively market. In addition to various food jars, there are also many selling rouge, gouache, beaded jewelry, sundries, and all kinds of gadgets. In addition, There are also storytelling and juggling stalls, and there are crowds of people on both sides of the river. In the center of the river, there are also many large boats decorated with red colors and bright lights. From time to time, the laughter of men and women can be heard. There are small melon boats on the shore to deliver guests and wine and food to the large boats. It seems that they are all places to drink flower wine.
The two girls looked around to watch the excitement, wishing they could have two more pairs of eyes, but they were still measured and followed Qi Jintang and Hehua without missing a step.
Qi Jintang stretched out his hand from his cloak and held He Hua's arm tightly, fearing that he would be squeezed apart by the crowd. Looking at such a lively scene here, I can't help but feel a little envious and longing, if the river can be repaired. Will Qingxi County experience such a crowded situation in the future
He Hua's attention has been focused on the things sold on both sides. From time to time, he pulls Qi Jintang to stop and buy some things. Soon Miao'er and Bai Zhi are already carrying large and small bags in their hands.
Qi Jintang found a stall selling snacks and sat down. He ordered a plate of baked egg dumplings and a spicy stir-fried rice cake. He gave each of the two girls a bowl of steaming rice cake and tofu. He and He Hua only ordered a bowl of plum vegetable and egg drop soup.
After finishing their food warmly and watching the fireworks rising into the sky by the river, the two of them couldn't help but think of the time they watched the fireworks together on the mountain in Qijia Village, and held their hands tightly together.
Went back in the evening and ate dumplings in the front yard. Sitting on the couch and receiving New Year greetings from the two children, he tied the New Year's red envelope on his lapel and left some lotus flowers for his eldest brother's family. When they were reunited, he went back to his room with Qi Jintang and spread out all the things he had just bought. On the couch, he pointed them to Qi Jintang one by one and said: "Look. This is a hand cover made of fine leather. I touched it just now. The fur inside is very warm and not irritating; this one is from the West. Smell the baby's facial oil, hand oil, and toilet water. I think it smells very good. I said it can prevent mosquitoes if you apply it in summer..." Hehua was like a child offering treasures, chirping about the things he bought at night. He told Qi Jintang everything.
Qi Jintang saw that the lotus was in great interest, so he followed her instructions and looked at it. When he talked about the men's style felt hat and suede cotton boots later, he felt something was wrong and asked, "Are you buying these for me?" ? This style is okay, but even the size is wrong..."
"Young Shamei, who said I bought it for you!" Hehua wrapped everything up and asked Miao'er to find a box of similar size and put them all in.
"Don't give it to me? But it's not Big Brother's size!" Qi Jintang was even more curious.
"I bought this for my parents." Hehua stretched out her hand and poked Qi Jintang's forehead and said, "We can't just care about our own good life outside and not miss our parents at home. When I buy New Year's goods, most of them are Clothing materials, medicinal materials, wine, dry goods and other big items, I didn't think about these small things. I just saw the things sold on the street and thought, although if those things are sent home, my parents will definitely have face in front of the villagers. But after all, it’s not as heart-warming as these personal things, right?”
Hehua said, got up and took Qi Jintang to the study, laid out a pen and paper for him, ground and dipped his pen for him, put it into his hand and said: "Write a letter to your parents, pay more attention to their health, ask questions Ask about things at home, ask how Jin Xin is doing recently, and tell your parents that we have settled down now. If you miss us, just wait until spring comes to live here... "
Qi Jintang didn't expect He Hua to say this, and a warmth flowed through his heart. He stretched out his hand to hold He Hua's hand holding the pen and said, "Let's write together." He said it just like when he taught He Hua to write when he was a child, writing one stroke at a time. I wrote the title on the letter paper, and then the two of us discussed writing this letter home.
After all, women are more thoughtful than men. Qi Jintang usually only writes a few sentences in letters home, asking how her family is doing, saying how she is doing, and a few words of advice. This time there was lotus mixed in, and the letter was written in a very detailed way. All the food, clothing, housing and transportation here were included in the letter, saying that this way the elderly in the family would feel relieved after reading it.
In the end, it took five pages to write a letter home before it was finally finished. Qi Jintang gently put the last page on the table to dry, turned around, took Lotus into his arms, and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head. He said slightly hoarsely: "Lotus, thank you."! ! !
