Chapter 81: General Wei's childlike innocence
In the bitter cold of winter, getting out of bed has become a particularly painful thing.
When I woke up in the morning and felt the cold air in the air outside, He Zhi, who had always had excellent living habits, couldn't help but feel a little bit of bedriddenness. However, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, not the time to lie in bed.
When the morning light first appeared, the sound of Wei Lai shoveling snow came from outside the door, and He Zhi woke up. It's just that when Xi Qiu opened the door, it was already bright outside.
The old wooden door opened with a "squeak", and then Xi Qiu's small exclamation came: "Miss, come and see!" ”
He Zhi hadn't washed up at this time, and was waiting for Xi Qiu to bring hot water in the house, but when she heard the words, she also walked out of the door. Then as soon as I looked up, I saw a white and round snowman piled up in the yard at some point, and a smile was specially made on his round face, facing He Zhi's door, which looked a little cute at a glance.
can build a snowman in the Wei family's yard, except for Wei Lai, he hardly thinks about it.
A smile flashed in He Zhi's eyes, and then she thought of something, so she moved her gaze to Xi Qiu, and sure enough, she saw the little girl staring at the snowman with a look of surprise.
Naturally, there is nothing strange about the snowman, but thinking about who the snowman is, Xi Qiu can't help but be a little surprised-think about the appearance of General Xiao Wei when he kills people, and then make up for the appearance of her when she builds a snowman in the yard, it is simply imaginable!
He Zhi naturally knew why Xi Qiu's expression was, and she knew that even if Wei Lai had countless blood in his hands, his heart couldn't help but feel a little soft. However, these are not for others to know, so she chuckled, and even her tone was a little ridiculous: "I really didn't expect that General Xiao Wei would be so ...... Childlike innocence?! ”
This is simply saying that Wei Lai is naïve.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when Miss He said this, General Xiao Wei had just walked to her side, so a smiling face suddenly froze on his face. It took a long time before he touched his nose awkwardly and said: "I saw a lot of snow in the yard in the morning, and it was useless to sweep a pile, on a whim, so I ......"
Xi Qiu's heart was full of weirdness, and he was led astray by his own young lady's words, although he didn't think Wei Lai was naïve, he also felt a little funny. However, seeing Wei Lai's embarrassed appearance, she still helped to say something: "General Wei specially built this snowman is also kind, doesn't Miss think that there is more snowman in the yard, it can be regarded as an extra scene?" ”
In Xi Qiu's opinion, Wei Laidu, the snowman, was obviously currying favor with her young lady, and the others didn't think much about it.
As soon as he said a good word, Xi Qiu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and pushed his young lady into the house: "Miss, go back to the house quickly, and I'll be back later." ”
Xi Qiu's reaction was too abrupt, even He Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then reacted - she was led out of the door by Xi Qiu's exclamation early in the morning, but she hadn't had time to freshen up.
"Unkempt" going out to meet people early in the morning is really rude. Especially when facing a "fiancé", it's not just rude.
Xi Qiu hurriedly pushed his young lady into the house, for fear of leaving a bad impression on General Xiao Wei. Although He Zhi also felt rude after returning to her senses, it seemed that it was not just rude to be made so troubled by Xi Qiu.
Some awkward, some ...... Shame?!
So before General Xiao Wei didn't react at all, Miss He had already hurried back to the room, and she didn't even give her a look.
Turning her head, the little girl blocked the door of the room and asked seriously, "Is there anything wrong with General Wei?" ”
Wei Lai shook her head stunned, she only came over when she saw He Zhi go out and see the snowman she had built.
"Then General Wei, if you have something to do, go and get busy, Miss has nothing to do here." The little girl continued to keep a straight face and gave a serious eviction order. At the end, he turned his head and closed the door, completely blocking Wei Lai's line of sight.
Wei Lai was baffled by the trouble, but he was also good-natured and did not entangle, only glanced at the closed door behind Xi Qiu and turned away.
After a while, seeing Xi Qiu hurriedly running to the kitchen to bring a basin of steaming hot water back, Wei Lai, who was hiding from the side and watching, suddenly realized.
*****************************************************************
Chinese New Year's Eve is the most busy day, especially the Wei family has not been reunited for many years, this year Wei came back to celebrate the New Year together, Mrs. Wei is particularly concerned, early in the morning began to prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
On days like this, naturally no one can be idle. The family circled around the kitchen, and Miss He, who did not touch the spring water with her fingers on weekdays, washed her hands and made soup today--the young ladies who have been trained by the standard of being a housewife will always have one or two dishes in their hands.
Laughing and laughing, busy and busy, the day passed quickly. Such a Chinese New Year's Eve is a rare experience for He Zhi and even Xi Qiu.
By the time the □□twilight came, the Wei family's Chinese New Year's Eve meal was ready. The town has been sounding "crackling" firecrackers since Shen Shi, and before one family has finished playing, the other has picked up again, one after another, and even the noise makes people's ears numb. But on a day like today, no one will complain.
This remote town was bustling with activity for a while.
Wei Lai turned out the bamboo poles and firecrackers that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile while hanging the firecrackers on the bamboo poles: "After setting off the firecrackers, you can eat, and we will keep vigil together at night." ”
He Zhi stood beside Wei Lai, looking at the smile on her face, and when she heard this, her heart was also inexplicably warm.
At that moment, it really felt like a family celebrating a happy festival together, and even added a bit of atmosphere to the Shangshu Mansion with many rules in the capital.
However, when it comes to Shangshu Mansion, He Zhi, who spent the New Year outside for the first time, is still a little homesick. Although there are many rules in Shangshu Mansion, and it is extremely troublesome to walk around in all directions during the New Year, but in the end, there are parents who love her, and a few brothers who have always doted on her, and they should also return to Beijing during the New Year's Festival, right?
Miss He, who was suddenly homesick, was a little stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, Wei Lai had already walked out of the door with a bamboo pole.
Sticking the bamboo pole with firecrackers on the courtyard door, Wei Lai turned around with the fire fold that had been prepared earlier, and said, "Light the fire, cover your ears!" ”
A greeting brought He Zhi back to her senses, and she subconsciously obediently raised her hand to cover her ears.
Wei Lai saw that several people had already obediently covered their ears, turned around and blew the fire fold and lit the fire, and then quickly put away the fire fold and turned his head and ran a few steps. Before she could run back to He Zhi and the others, the firecrackers behind her had already "crackled".
Covering his ears and running a few steps, he didn't know if Wei Lai was too unlucky, and as soon as he turned his head, he was hit on his forehead by a firecracker that flew out of the half-volley. She just felt a little pain, and wrinkled her face slightly, but when He Zhi next to her turned her head to look, she found that the place on her forehead that was bounced was actually a small piece of blue.
The firecrackers were "crackling", and He Zhi couldn't ask if she wanted to ask - in this earth-shattering sound, she couldn't do it with her voice at the top of her voice, not to mention that even if it was, Wei Lai, who was covering her ears, might not be able to hear it.
After a while, the long string of firecrackers in front of the Wei family's courtyard was set off, and He Zhi turned his head and asked Wei Lai, "Are you okay?" ”
Wei Lai, who didn't pay attention to the little thing on his forehead at all, didn't react for a while, and his expression was a little dazed. Then I saw He Zhi raise her hand and gently tap the bruise on her forehead and said, "Your forehead is blue." ”
It was just a small piece of firecracker, and the bruise was only the size of a peanut, He Zhi didn't say it, Wei Lai might not be able to notice it even if he looked in the mirror. However, General Xiao Wei was still very happy that Miss He cared, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch the bruise, and then waved her hand and smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Just as the firecrackers were finished, we went in......"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Lai suddenly stopped, and then turned his head sharply to look out, and even the smile on his face was a little retracted.
"What's wrong?" He Zhi was puzzled, and subconsciously followed Wei Lai's gaze, but saw nothing.
Wei Lai had already smiled, frowning slightly: "It seems that there is the sound of horses' hooves." ”
