Although it was only a few words, Xu Wenda was a little happy when he looked at it. The little bit of homesickness in his heart dissipated a lot, and when he thought of the childish words of his younger brothers and sisters, he really wanted to go home now.

Su Heng's letter is very short, I read it very early, looking at Xu Wenda holding a letter like a book, my heart is a little sour, it is the same family letter, why is this difference so big.

It's really more popular than people, Su Heng came to the front and took a look, and it happened to be Tong Xue's unsightly words.

Su Heng was stunned, since he started to learn calligraphy, he hadn't seen such ugly characters for more than ten years, but thinking that the Xu family still had immature brothers and sisters, Su Heng felt that he was the truth.

Su Heng pulled Xu Wenda and asked, "This is Wen Zhao's letter to Brother Xu?" It's just that I haven't even learned Brother Xu's good handwriting, so I still have to practice. ”

Xu Wenda had already put away Tong Xue's letter when Su Heng just came over to take a look, and Xu Wenda didn't explain who wrote it, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "It's a lot of practice." ”

Tong Xue, who was far away at home, sneezed several times in a row, rubbed the tip of her nose vigorously, and thought suspiciously, could it be that she was cold?

Tong Xue's lanterns, after a few days of making, are really decent, but the materials prepared are limited, and two are broken in the middle, and only two finished products are finally made.

Putting the lanterns aside, Tong Xue began to prepare today's staple food, the fifteenth that only happens once a year, of course, there must be a Lantern Festival, this glutinous rice flour is still what she specially told Xu Wenyuan to buy back, it is much more expensive than rice, if it weren't for this festival, Tong Xue was really reluctant, how many catties of white noodles could be eaten.

The Lantern Festival of the Xu family. Because of the limited materials, it can only be made into bean paste filling, which is a pity, if it is not for the lack of materials, she really wants to make herself a bowl of durian flavor.

While eating the slightly hot Lantern Festival, Xu Wenzhao's eyes looked directly at the lanterns that had been placed at the door for the time being.

Xu Wenzhao quickly swallowed a few Lantern Festival embarrassments, and then jumped off the stool. Go further to the lantern. Circling around, "Sister-in-law, this lantern is so beautiful." ”

Tong Xue smiled and swallowed a bite of the Lantern Festival. "Look good, who guessed the most riddles tonight, whose lantern is it?"

Xu Wenzhao looked at the lantern for a long time, and there were only paintings on it. There was no mystery at all, and he asked suspiciously. "Where is the riddle? The second brother was not written on the lamp. ”

Tong Xue said with a smile, "There are only two lights, where are so many riddles written, wait for me to tell your second brother." You guess. ”

Xu Wenzhao ran towards Tong Xue again, and Xu Jing also looked at Tong Xue with blank eyes, "Sister-in-law." Then you can get the question out of the question. ”

Tong Xue finished the last bite and put the bowl aside. clapped his hands, "Okay, I'll give you one first, a thousand lines, ten thousand lines, and you can't see it if you fall into the water." ”

As soon as Tong Xue's words fell, Xu Wenzhao raised his hand high, "I know, I know, it's the rain reads();." ”

Seeing that Xu Jing was eager to try, but said a step slower, Tong Xue looked at Xu Jing and said, "The top hair, the side hair, and a black grape in the middle, if you can't guess, please take a look at me." ”

Xu Jing looked at Tong Xue's eyes happily and said with a smile, "I know, it's the eyes." ”

Most of the riddles that Tong Xue knows are these, basically from life, easy to guess, and it is perfect for teasing children, "A group of geese came in front, plopping and jumping into the river, waiting until the tide rose three times, and an ancient brain caught up with the slope." ”

Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing were stunned, and Tong Xue prompted, "We all ate this thing during the New Year." ”

Xu Jing's smart eyes flashed, then jumped, and shouted with a smile, "I know, it's dumplings." ”

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenyuan and Xu Wan, who were sitting on the side and quietly watching the three of them, Tong Xue beckoned, "Wenyuan, you can also give them one." ”

Xu Wenyuan said in a good manner, "There is a bamboo forest on the soil, and the soil is an inch of gold." ”

Thinking of the mystery I just came out of, and then look at the mystery of Xu Wenyuan, although Xu Wenyuan's appearance is also very simple, but there is always a sense of immediacy between Yangchun Baixue and Riba people, Tong Xue simply doesn't want to talk anymore, this family is really amazing, she is also a college student with a diploma.

Xu Wenzhao gestured a few times with his fingers on the table, and then blurted out, "Second brother, this is an equal word." ”

"Exactly." Xu Wenda smiled and said again, "The sun is in the west, and the moon hangs in the east." ”

Xu Jing looked at Xu Wenzhao and didn't rush to answer this time, looked at Tong Xue and asked, "This is Ming." ”

Because the main force of guessing the riddle is Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing, everyone's riddle is relatively simple, if there is a little bit of unanswering, give a hint, or Xu Wan to guess it.

One night, the family gathered around the house, although there was no excitement in the lantern festival, but everyone in the family had a very happy time.

In the end, Xu Wenzhao leisurely chose one of the lanterns with the absolute advantage of answering twenty-one questions correctly, and the remaining one was given to Xu Jing, who was second only to Xu Wenzhao in guessing riddles.

Tong Xue put a short wick into the lantern, lit the two lamps, after the lamp was lit, the painting on the lantern suddenly became clear, although it was only two simple lanterns, the two children seemed to have the most beautiful lantern in the world, holding the lantern in the yard happily circled.

Once the fifteenth year passes, even if the whole year is over, it means that everything has to get back on track.

The Xu family's lo-mei business should also be started, but Tong Xue told Xu Wenyuan that he didn't have to go out to sell it personally, just be mainly responsible for the family's marinade business.

Xu Wenyuan was a little puzzled when he heard Tong Xue's arrangement, "Why doesn't my sister-in-law let me sell lo-mei again, but what is the new business?" ”

Tong Xue said, "The input of selling lo-mei is fixed, not much, but it takes up a lot of your time, I don't think it's cost-effective, if you can sell our marinade to more stable customers, such as restaurants, or Aunt Liu's family who do this small business, wouldn't we earn more?" Doing a small business is not a way to make a lot of money. ”

Tong Xue thought about the Chaotian peppers in her hand. "I want to plant peppers, but I have to wait until spring to make plans, and this year, I can only plant a little bit of seeds, and if I want to plant a large area, I have to wait for next year.

Tong Xue is a baby pepper. Xu Wenyuan also saw it once. Except for the fact that the peppers grow into the sky, which is very unique, the rest, he didn't see any difference. But Tong Xue attaches great importance to it. After opening it, he took out the seeds, and he didn't know where they were hidden, but he never saw them again.

It's just that Xu Wenyuan is still a little skeptical in the end. "Sister-in-law, the thing you said is in the dish. Do many people really like it? ”

Tong Xue smiled confidently, where she has been, Sichuan cuisine can be said to be the most common restaurant, and it has been opened all over the motherland. It can be seen that everyone still loves spicy very deeply, "What about the taste of spicy, people who love it." No spicy or happy, like me. Of course, there are some who don't eat it at all, but I'm sure there are many more people who will fall in love with the taste. ”

In fact, in the farmhouse, every winter to the month after the New Year, it is basically relatively idle, there are few things, all in the cat winter, knowing the beginning of spring, will begin to slow down.

The situation of the Xu family is relatively better, because there are still two people in the family who have to do their homework on time, and they seem to be busy.

But Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing have something to do, it doesn't mean that Tong Xue is also busy, Tong Xue is worried about whether to raise a pig at home this year, if she does, you can kill New Year's pigs, make pig-killing dishes, and make sausages during the New Year.

But in case Xu Wenda is hit, in case he is assigned to a place with a bad corner to be a sesame official county magistrate, their family should follow to take office at that time! The pigs may not be able to eat them.

Of course, it is impossible to think about the problem of raising pigs for too long, and as soon as people are free, they start to think about something that they don't have.

For example, now Xu Wan is secretly muttering to Xu Wenyuan, "I feel that my sister-in-law's temper has deteriorated a lot recently, do you say that sister-in-law misses her eldest brother." ”

Xu Wenyuan thought so, nodded, the eldest brother has been away from home for so long, and he also misses the eldest brother very much, "It should be, calculate the time, these days, the eldest brother should have a scientific examination, and the sister-in-law must be worried." ”

Tong Xue is really thinking about Xu Wenda, I don't know what's going on these days, I always think of this person from time to time, Tong Xue feels that her current state is very wrong, just like a deep resentful woman whose husband has not come home for a long time, although in fact her husband has not been home for a long time.

On this day, as soon as Tong Xue got up, she saw that Xu Wan was already cooking, what was cooking in the pot, she didn't see it clearly, but the red egg in Xu Wan's hand, Tong Xue saw it, Tong Xue said in surprise, "Why did you boil the red egg?" Someone's birthday? ”

Xu Wan looked at Tong Xue with a confused face, and the expression on her face was a little bitter, so they were careful to hide what Tong Xue was, and people forgot that it was their birthday.

Tong Xue handed the box in her hand to Tong Xue, "Sister-in-law, today is your birthday, this is given to you by the eldest brother." ”

Tong Xue was stunned, and there was a surprise in her eyes that she couldn't hide for a moment, "Your eldest brother?" He's back? ”

Xu Wan looked at Tong Xue's expression, and said after a while, "The eldest brother didn't come back, this thing was brought back by the eldest brother." ”

"Today is my birthday, and he still remembers, I don't even remember." Tong Xue took the box and pouted, "Also, how could he come back, I'm also dizzy." ”

Xu Wan glanced at Tong Xue, looked at Tong Xue with some interest, and cautiously said good things about her eldest brother to Tong Xue, "Big brother brought a letter back, and gave me a thousand instructions, and I specially explained that I will give it to you today." ”

Tong Xue opened the box, and put an emerald green lotus lantern in it, I can't see what material it is, but Tong Xue's eyesight can also see that this lantern is not cheap, at the bottom of the lantern, put a note, which reads, this lantern is the Lantern Festival lantern festival color head, for the husband to win and give the lady reads();.

When Tong Xue saw the note, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she was in a much happier mood, "He has a heart." ”

Tong Xue saw that there was still a slender small box in the box, and when she opened it, she saw that there was a wooden hairpin inside, and a snowflake was carved on one end of the hairpin, the workmanship was a little rough, but the polishing was very smooth, "This hairpin is also for me?" ”

Xu Wan unexpectedly glanced at Tong Xue a few more times, "Of course." Sister-in-law, this year is your best year. ”

And Xu, Tong Xue knows that in the ancient coming-of-age ceremony, if you have performed the rite of passage, you are an adult, and you can get married.

Of course, there are also people like Tong Xue who got married in a hurry before they reached their age, but in any case, the fifteenth birthday, and the hair, are of extraordinary significance to an ancient woman.

Tong Xue pulled up her hair and fixed it with the hairpin given by Xu Wenda, which looked inconspicuous and was quite easy to use.

Tong Xue ate the red eggs and longevity noodles that Xu Wan helped her cook, which gave her a feeling of celebrating her birthday, seeing her younger brothers and sisters around her, Tong Xue's eyes were a little hot, it was good to have someone to accompany her every festival, if the person who was not there could also appear here at the moment, it would be even better.

What is Xu Wenda doing at the moment, he also went to ask for a bowl of noodles, although he couldn't be by Tong Xue's side, but from such a distance, he still followed Tong Xue to eat a bowl of longevity noodles.

Su Heng watched Xu Wenda eat happily, and wondered in his heart, "Brother Xu, I think you have been very wrong recently." ”

Xu Wenda looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Heng thought about Xu Wenda's abnormal behavior these days, "You said that a few days ago, you have been pouring a piece of wood, although I don't know what you are doing, but our scholars' hands are precious, they are all used to dance and make ink, but you are holding a carving knife and drawing on the wood all day long." ”

Su Heng glanced at Xu Wenda's hand with some concern, he will enter the examination room in a few days, will this hand be good at that time, "What about this kind of thing, there is a specialization in the art industry, you should find someone else to do it, you see that your hand is not good yet." ”

Su Heng looked at Xu Wenda strangely, "And today, what longevity noodles are you going to eat inexplicably, and today is not your birthday." ”

Xu Wenda continued to sit in place and eat noodles without moving, "Today is my wife's birthday, I'm not at home, can't I eat a bowl of noodles?" ”

Su Heng had a knowing expression, and then leaned over to Xu Wenda's side, "By the way, the thing you have been carving a few days ago won't also be for your sister-in-law, a birthday gift?" You said that how can your birthday gift be so shabby, we have been in the capital for so long, we have to buy some rouge gouache gold and silver jewelry unique to the capital. ”

Xu Wenda's face was a little unsightly, what he gave was not only a gift, but also a heart. What does this Su Heng, who hasn't even made a kiss, know.

(To be continued.) )
