Recently, she has been preparing for the New Year with the women in her neighborhood, preparing fruits, offerings, glutinous rice cakes, and peach blossoms to worship the stove......

"Peach blossoms?" Is it the kind of pink and tender flower that blooms on the branches?

"Yes! The peach blossom tree lives on the two good gods of tea and glass, which can ward off evil spirits for every household! "The women worked together to prepare all sorts of fine cooked food, and chattered about their homely things, which was a great time to hang out.

"Whoa! This peach blossom branch is divided into a bunch for you, remember to hang it at the door when you go back, so that you don't have to be afraid of demons and monsters! ”

"Thank you." Shui Er took it over, and another old mother-in-law grunted.

"I don't know if the glutinous rice cake is made in the man's place? It's been so long. ”

"Then I'll take a look." Shui Er hugged the flowers in her arms, not knowing that the delicate red color brought out a luster on her white skin, reflecting her ordinary and small facial features.

There are several stone mills in a small open space, which are also held once a year, and men push the stone mills shirtless, grinding glutinous rice into flour to make fragrant, thick and sticky pastries.

"Hey! Get it on! Get it on! Hehe...... "The stone grinding weighing dozens of catties is just pushed on a round, and it takes a lot of effort, often men work in shifts, and everyone takes time out of all walks of life to do things."

Coincidentally, Ah Jun is also among the men who are now on the battlefield.

Shui'er's pace slowed down, she didn't want to disturb him, and quietly watched his attentive demeanor with a slightly bent face.

I saw that he tied the clothes of his upper body with the fading clothes around his waist, his muscles were stretched, his green tendons were slightly stretched due to the force, and his regular movements were even and orderly, and he could see the water...... Wow~~ How pleasing to the eye.

Oh~~ What's wrong with her?

The water touched his face, hot and hot...... Not to mention that the sun was too big to heat stroke, the reason was so ridiculous that even she wouldn't believe it.

But a pair of eyes that were wide and not slipping away shyly avoided the back...... I immediately blinked and looked back.

What was she looking at?

Look at his sweaty face, look at his thick eyebrows and dark eyes that are provoked by regular movements, look at his lips muttering as he counts the beats, look at him...... She finally stopped at his large, rough, calloused palms...... Looks so powerful......

Oh! Shui'er, a woman's family is thinking about these things in broad daylight? Did You Know...... Shame!

But she is like a demon, and she can't help it!

Thinking of the inevitable pain he brought to her from time to time, afterwards, how guilty and remorseful the swarthy and resolute man was, as if he was willing to bear all the pain for her, his thick lips kissed lightly on her white skin, as if he kissed the deepest soreness of her body softly, and the strong embrace carried her reassuring breath, which made her fall asleep every night.

Just as she was in a trance, Ah Jun's grinding action also came to an end, and Ah Gan, who came to take over, nudged him with his elbow, hinting at ......

Shui'er smiled at the same time, waiting for him to look up and find himself.

"Water." He shouted and waved his hand, and his generous and genuinely happy expression was completely displayed on that big face.

She also smiled in response, and the moment the smile was formed, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction suddenly swept through her body.

In just a few months, Shui'er understood why the ancients said that husbands were heavenly women...... Ah Jun! Such a good husband, how could she not treat him as "heaven"? Maybe he is just a cloth cloth, not a prince or a minister, ordinary and low, but under his loyal and righteous appearance, he has a pair of shoulders that people can rely on at ease.

"Granny Zhou is urging, when will the glutinous rice cake be ready?" She hadn't eaten it before, and she was really curious!

"It's still early!" Ah Jun began to put on the clothes he had originally carried in his hands.

Taking a step forward, Shui Er put the peach blossom in his hand into the ground without thinking about it and started to help.

"How long will it take?" She asked, looking up at him when she didn't hear an answer. "Ah Jun?" Why do you look absent-minded?

"Huh? Belch...... Hmm......" He came back to his senses, his expression uneasy. "You...... I'll just wear the clothes myself, so many people are looking at ......"

What the? Shui Er followed his words four times, and the roots of his ears also reddened slightly...... Oh, yes! The sound of the stone mill turning had long since stopped, and the eyes of the men were all interested and open-minded...... Watch the show!

"Huh? Hey! Did we bother? I'm really sorry~~" is led by Ah Gan. That's right, but there is no trace of "I'm sorry" on his face.

"Ah Gan!" Ah Jun rubbed the corners of his forehead, half-turned around and shouted, mixed with embarrassment, but his momentum was just missing a trace of awe. "You......"

Shui Er simply put his face into his chest because of his shame.

The sound of firecrackers to remove the old year......

Standing at the door, Shui'er carefully retied the peach blossom branches that had been loosened last night.

It's interesting to think about it, the representative flowers of the Central Plains for the New Year are wax plum and narcissus, which are white, but I didn't expect that the peach blossoms here in Nanyue are red, like lit fireworks.

The New Year is a day of rest, no work, no cooking.

The young couple prepares to go out in the evening to pay New Year's greetings, also known as "traveling", according to custom.

"New Year's greetings at night? It's funny. If we are in the Central Plains, we have to get up as early as possible in the morning, and we have to go everywhere early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings. Shui Er hurriedly tied her long hair, and she was able to calmly and skillfully use a bamboo chopstick to put a simple comb on her bun these days. I'm okay, I can go. ”

"Wait a minute." But he called her, and with some embarrassment and hesitation, he took out a small cloth bag from his cuff and handed it to her cautiously. "This is a gift for the New Year, for you."

Belch~~

Shui'er's eyes widened, and she couldn't say anything for a while. The small cloth bag was opened, and it was a black and red handle comb.

"I ...... You made such a comfortable garment for me to wear. Ah Jun said awkwardly, but he tried his best to convey his thoughts to her, and his fingers did not forget that Bibi Shui'er personally restructured the robe for him, and he was also prepared to cherish the robe for a lifetime. So, this is a gift for the New Year, to you. I was just...... I want to thank you. ”

The handle comb is not large, and the pattern is extremely delicate flowers, red and small, which reminds her of the peach blossoms hanging at the door.

"Thank you." A pure, sacred, intimate feeling arose from her heart, and the water caressed the comb. "Did you do it yourself?"

"Yes." Ah Jun responded to confirm her guess, and he asked very carefully: "I know that I am still an apprentice, and I am not very beautiful, do you ...... You're going to just do it, okay? Future...... In the future, I will definitely make a more beautiful one for you......"
