Chapter 40: Xiucai Comes Home
The person who came was not anyone, but Zhuang Churan, who had not been seen for a few days, only to see him holding a roll of red paper in one hand and a bag of objects wrapped in oiled paper in the other.
"Aunt, it's Master Xiucai who is here." Qin Erniang walked over quickly.
Qin Ruwei was also surprised, in her memory, this person had never stepped into the door of the Qin family, why did she come today?
Without waiting for her to speak, Gu Shi, who heard the sound, ran out of the stove room, and when he saw that it was Zhuang Churan, he immediately wiped his oily hands on his apron and said, "Ouch, what a talented man." What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing Xiucai to our house? Please come in, Erniang, go to the stove and get a pot of boiling water to make tea. ”
"Hey."
"Sister-in-law Qin is not busy." Zhuang Churan said with a smile: "I'm here to send a couplet, and I'll leave in a while." ”
"Couplet?"
Gu Shi was stunned, Qin Ruwei was also strange, seeing the red paper in his hand, he remembered that the red paper was also left in the basket and not taken back when he went to visit that day, and he forgot about it if he didn't go out for a few days.
"A few days ago, Sister Ruwei came to ask for a couplet, I didn't have time to write her family for a while, and I haven't seen it for a few days, I think tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm afraid that you will use it urgently, and the left and right are just two steps, so I sent it to you." Zhuang Churan explained.
"Ouch, how dare you bother Xiucai to run this time, you come and say, I sent my family to get Sixi, and I asked you to send it personally, what's the matter?" Gu Shi slapped his thigh, turned his head and said to Qin Ruwei with a calm face: "Sister-in-law, you too, how did you forget this stubble, I thought you would have taken it back a long time ago, and I was so tired that Xiucai Ye came to come in person." ”
Qin Ruwei sneered and said, "I also forgot." ”
"Nothing to do, it's all in the same village, it's not far away, and it's good to wander around." Zhuang Churan saw that Qin Ruwei was criticized, and hurriedly said.
"Master Xiucai, this person is good, I have nothing to say." Gu Shi gave a thumbs up and praised: "This is a good scholar, handsome in appearance, and a good heart, I don't know which girl will have this blessing to marry you in the future, but she will enjoy great blessings." The talented man is getting old, so he wants to say kiss, right? ”
At the mention of family affairs, Zhuang Churan immediately blushed his cheeks and said, "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry." ”
"It's time to say it, the man got married early, and the matchmaker in your family has broken through, what kind of woman does Xiucai Ye like, how about Sister-in-law Qin give you a look?"
Zhuang Churan couldn't cry or laugh, Qin Ruwei was also very embarrassed, and was busy glancing at Gu's family, but unfortunately Gu's couldn't see it, so he had to say: "Sister-in-law, you are tired of standing up when you see Xiucai, and you haven't taken a sip of tea yet." ”
"Yes, yes, please come into the house and sit, I'm making lunch, you can eat at home and then leave, sister-in-law, please invite Xiucai into the hall." Gu Shi hurriedly instructed Qin Ruwei, and he went to the kitchen to work again.
"Sister-in-law Qin, don't be busy, I'll sit for a while and leave." Zhuang Churan was busy shouting, but the Gu family had already walked in.
"My sister-in-law is in a hurry, let's sit in the house first, there is nothing to do left and right, sit for a while and rest." Qin Ruwei said with a smile.
Zhuang Churan had no choice but to respond, and as she entered the hall, she handed over the rolled couplet, and pushed over the things wrapped in oiled paper, and said: "Here are small snacks, which were given by my classmates in the county, and my mother doesn't like sweets, and I don't like it either, you have a lot of children, give the children a try." ”
Qin Ruwei was slightly surprised and said, "How embarrassing is this?" ”
"A little snack is not worth a few dollars."
Having said that, such a noble thing as dim sum is not seen in the peasant family, even the Deng family, who has a lot of family background, can't see such a precious thing as dim sum, and now it is the New Year, and it is very dignified to treat guests with such exquisite dim sum, so Zhuang Churan is also a good thing.
"Thank you very much." Qin Ruwei took it and curtched and bowed.
