Chapter Thirty-Nine: Teeth Fall Out in Pairs
The Yuan family has always strictly followed the rule of "food does not speak", but the annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was obviously loosened, and only a few close subordinates were left in the house to join in the fun, and they did not let them serve the meal, and the old lady and Gu Chao, who were a little undealing on weekdays, also talked and laughed.
Yuan Zheng was as hungry as Doudou, so he picked up a few favorite dishes by himself, and listened to his mother and Gu Chao with great interest while eating.
Doudou's sudden voice attracted the attention of a room of people, only to see her face in pain, but her small mouth was still holding the chicken leg in her mouth.
The old lady and Yuan Zheng asked at the same time, "Did Yuan (sister) bite her tongue?" ”
Doudou shook his head, let go of the chicken leg with a bitter little face, and snorted, "My teeth are gone......"
Sure enough, there are two white millet teeth embedded in the fat chicken legs, which echoes that Doudou's lower teeth have a big gap, and there is a little blood, which looks a little miserable.
Gu Chao was disgusted by the toothy chicken leg, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart and turned her head to Mother Zhao on the side and said, "Yuan'er's teeth should have been loose for a long time, how are you serving this nurse!"
Mother Zhao was anxious to step forward to see Doudou's situation, and was named by Mrs. so she had to step forward and lower her head and dare not squeak, Doudou covered her small mouth and said vaguely: "Mother, don't blame Mother Zhao, it's me who didn't sue anyone." ”
The old lady instructed Mother Zhao to wait for Doudou to rinse her mouth, and whispered comfortingly: "Sister Yuan, don't be afraid, changing your teeth means that you have grown up!"
Scared? Yuan Zheng almost didn't squirt out the food in his mouth, the little appearance of the second girl doesn't look like she is afraid, her own mother is simply concerned and messy.
He stretched out his thumb and joked: "Oh, my second daughter is really amazing, other people's children come one by one to change their teeth, but they come in pairs when they come to you." It's just Yuan'er, not long ago, you laughed at the lack of front teeth of the little fat brother, and now your own teeth are gone, what can I do?"
Doudou rinsed his mouth with warm water, frowned when he heard this, and still covered his mouth with his little hand and said, "Yes, how can I be embarrassed to meet people without teeth!"
The old lady gently pulled her little hand away and smiled deliberately: "Grandmother thinks that this tooth is falling out well, so Sister Yuan wants to sneak out to play all day long, and now she can only learn to make needlework in the room in a proper manner." ”
As soon as I heard that the beans were too big to make needlework in the room, people had already learned to sew two pieces of cloth together, so why should they continue to learn......
"Well, for the sake of your father, your grandmother is very right, so you take this opportunity to study for a few days. But the Shangyuan Festival is here, but unfortunately we can't see those beautiful lanterns-" Yuan Zheng deliberately lengthened his tone, squinted his eyes and smiled evilly and continued to tease his daughter.
Doudou has never been out since he entered the Yuan Mansion, and the Shangyuan lantern described by the little fat man made her yearn for it, and afterwards she went to Mama Jin to ask if she could go to see the lantern that day, and she was excited for several days when she got a positive answer.
If she really can't go out on the Yuan Festival, won't she be happy in vain!
Thinking of the beautiful lanterns flying away with wings like this, she was so aggrieved that her big eyes gradually turned red.
Sure enough, no matter how smart and powerful she is, she is still a child, isn't this obviously teasing her?
Gu Chao sighed a few times in his heart, glanced at Yuan Zheng and said: "Which child has not experienced this, Yuan'er don't listen to your father's nonsense, as long as you don't speak, who will know that you have two teeth?"
Doudou's little face immediately turned cloudy, yes, who knows that he has no teeth if he doesn't open his mouth? At this moment, her mother is so loving in her heart, okay, it's much better than her hateful father!
"That'...... I went out to see the lights with my little fat brother on the Yuan Festival, and my father is not allowed to regret it!" Doudou grinned with a small mouth with missing teeth, happily picked up the small bowl that Zhao's mother had changed for her, completely ignored the discomfort of just losing her teeth, and finally ate her first Chinese New Year's Eve meal in Yuanfu.
New Year's Celebration, Firecrackers, New Year's Greetings, New Year's Money...... The seventh year of Doudou's life began in this way.
It turns out that Doudou is indeed a stinky and beautiful little girl, in order to prevent relatives and friends from seeing her toothless mouth, the Yuan family's series of visits to relatives and friends were all pushed by her because she was unwell, so she couldn't help but go to other mansions.
※※※※
According to the custom of the Great Zhou, whether it is a person who is doing business or working outside, unless there are special circumstances, he must go home to reunite with his family during the New Year, so generally speaking, the business of each inn during this time is the most deserted of the year.
But this year, the Yuelai Inn in the south of Hangzhou did not have this concern at all.
The previous heavy snow delayed many people's trips, making each inn make a lot of money, and Yuelai Inn is of course no exception.
Chinese New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the new year is a little deserted for a few days, but it is just in time for the boss guys to have a good New Year. Just after noon on the eighth day of the new year, the inn ushered in the first big business of the new year, the guests were high-headed and generous, and the boss smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
This group of guests was naturally Yuan Xiao and his party who hurried to Hangzhou from Jinhua Mansion.
Yuan Xiao still went his own way, neither did he live in the Yuan Mansion as Shumo and Shuyan thought, nor did he still go to the old lady's Zhuangzi to "disturb" as Doudou thought, but directly chose to live in the inn, and the Yuelai Inn, which was closest to the South City Gate, got this blessing.
Shumo Shuyan had already held back his stomach for a while, and he didn't ask until Yuan Xiao was lying comfortably on the bed in the Tianzi guest room.
"Master......" Shumo pulled the brocade and was covered for Yuan Xiao, "Why don't you live in the Yuan Mansion and live here." ”
Shuyan on the side took over the conversation and said: "That's right, let's live in the old lady's Zhuangzi like last time, and it's much more comfortable than this broken inn." ”
"Why don't you just let the master buy a big house in Hangzhou City, isn't it more comfortable to live in?" Yuan Xiao turned over, and explained very patiently: "Last time it was September, the weather was very warm, and the guards were camping in tents on the mountain behind Zhuangzi, if you go again this time, do you think the master will bring all the guards into the Zhuangzi, or let them suffer in the cold in the tent?"
The two little guys looked at each other when they heard his words, such a large group of guards with five big and three rough guards were all brought to Zhuangzi, and the shrewd old lady must have been able to see some clues, and sure enough, the young master was thoughtful.
"Shumo, let Brother Tie send a few people to inquire about the news of the Yuan Mansion, especially the lentil, to see what she has done recently, the master is sleepy, let's sleep first. Yuan Xiao yawned and waved his hand, closing his eyes.
"Yes. The two little men answered, and retreated lightly.
