Chapter 204: Reluctantly Giving a Gift
What's the matter? The smile on Zhao's face instantly froze, glanced at Su Jiu'er, and then walked up to Luo Nian, and asked with a worried face, "Why are you crying, what's wrong?" ”
Su Jiu'er didn't want to go directly at this time, so she pretended to walk in front of Luo Nian, took a handkerchief to help Luo Nian wipe her tears, and thought about saying something from Luo Nian's mouth, "Don't cry, it's not good to look good if you cry." ”
When Luo Nian heard Su Jiu'er say that, he looked at Zhao and Su Jiu'er aggrievedly, and sniffed vigorously, "Aunt Zhao, Sister Jiu'er, I'm cheeky today and want to borrow some money from you." ”
Borrow money?
Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, and looked at Luo Nian suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" Zhao thought in his heart, this Luo Nian came to the door and cried, and he couldn't go over.
But this Luo Nian is really out of proportion, this New Year's Day, he actually went to the door of the house to cry, what is the matter.
"My grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, and the doctor said that he would keep taking medicine, but there is no money at home......" Luo Nian slowly said the matter of the An family.
Although An Zeqing was released, An Zeqing stayed in the prison for a long time, and his body couldn't hold it for a long time.
Chen Shaobin gave An Zeqing some silver and asked An Zeqing to follow the Wang family back from the capital in a carriage.
But An Zeqing's illness was too serious, and dozens of doctors were invited for An Zeqing along the way, but An Zeqing's condition did not improve, but he kept breathing.
Su Jiu'er thought in her heart why An Zeqing didn't die earlier.
"I only have a penny at home." Zhao Shi glanced at Su Jiu'er.
Su Jiu'er immediately understood, and hurriedly pulled Gu Feng towards the house, ignoring Luo Nian at all.
The Zhao family invited Luo Nian into the hall and asked Luo Nian to wait, and he went into the house to get the money.
On the way back home, Su Jiu'er was still thinking about what Luo Nian said.
This time she went to deliver pork, and she didn't go to settle down at all.
Not only did Su Jiu'er go, but no one in the entire village went to settle down.
Even if An Zeqing can come back alive, the evidence that An Zeqing fornicated with the Huns is conclusive.
Most of the people in the village are relatively simple, and they have also heard that An Zeqing is guaranteed by the King of Wei, but they really can't understand what kind of news An Zeqing's cooperation with the Huns can have.
Gu Feng cut off the head of the leader of the Huns, that was really killing the Huns, but it was not a hypocrisy, this is not the emperor to give Gu Feng an official seat.
If An Zeqing is really a fine work, why didn't the emperor give An Zeqing a reward?
The village didn't bother to think about An Zeqing's affairs, after all, it was the New Year, and they had to be busy with their own affairs.
"I thought he wouldn't come back." Gu Feng turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er and took the lead in speaking.
"I really didn't expect that he would betray the country to seek glory and come back?" Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Gu Feng, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, "If he really betrays the country, someone should help him operate, Xianggong, am I right?" ”
"We don't mix in other people's affairs." Gu Feng wished that An Zeqing would die early, he was straightforward, but he never thought that An Zeqing would be so shameless and stab him in the back.
Su Jiu'er smiled and nodded, judging from what Luo Nian said, An Zeqing was afraid that he would not live long.
An Zeqing is not a Xiucai now, but an ordinary person, if she wants to kill An Zeqing, just do it directly, she doesn't need to think about it so much at all.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Gu Feng came together and saw the snow white of the world.
When Su Jiu'er got up, she saw Gu Feng standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at the goose feathers and snow outside.
The stove was burning, Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and said softly, "This year's rain must be sufficient." ”
There is a lot of snow in the winter, and there is a lot of rain in the coming year.
"There is hope for the paddy fields this year." Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile.
Su Jiu'er smiled, feeling that Gu Feng was really about to be fascinated by thinking about rice all day long.
"It's almost the New Year, why are you still thinking about rice?" Su Jiu'er turned around and walked to the stove, and saw that the water inside was boiling, "Xianggong, come and wash up, and make the noodles in a while." ”
The more the year passes, the more things happen.
Twenty-eight handfuls of noodles, Su Jiu'er will steam steamed buns today, waiting for them to be delicious in the future.
On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Jiu'er asked Mother Zhu to invite the Su family over for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Several women were busy in the kitchen, and the task of watching the children fell on Gu Feng and Su's father.
The meal on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a total of ten dishes are made, which means perfect.
A table of dishes is extremely rich, everyone gathered around, Su Jiu'er felt fortunate to move the big table in the hall over, otherwise the original small table would not be able to hold those dishes.
Because they are all family members, they are not restrained when eating, and if they can't reach it, they can stand up and pick up vegetables.
The stove on the side was burning, and everyone on the table was full of joy, gathering around to celebrate a lively New Year.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, all the remaining meals were brought to another room, and they were kept to eat later, but they couldn't be wasted.
The big table was carefully wiped down, and Mama Zhu moved the panel over and began to make dumplings with bread.
As midnight approached, the sound of firecrackers outside rang out one after another, breaking the quiet night.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family eats dumplings.
After breakfast, Gu Feng opened the courtyard door, which means that everyone can come in to pay New Year's greetings.
Although it was snowing outside, there were still many children on the street, and when they saw someone's door open, they ran in.
One by one, they said "Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity", and then "plopped" on their ears and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the family.
Some children ran into Gu's house, and Su Jiu'er was also happy when she saw them kowtowing to the New Year, and gave them some delicious food, and then one of them gave five cents to suppress the New Year's money.
The child who received the money ran away happily, and then went to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhao looked at more and more children coming to pay New Year's greetings, poked Su Jiu'er's arm helplessly, and complained, "How can you and Gu Feng give the children so much New Year's money, it's okay now, the children in the village are here now!" ”
"It's a good New Year, festive." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng's happy appearance, the corners of her lips hooked, and said with a smile, "Xianggong is very happy!" ”
The words that Zhao originally wanted to say swallowed back silently, and she sometimes felt that her daughter had raised Gu Feng as a son.
"Jiu'er, do we still have copper plates at home?" Gu Feng walked in front of Su Jiu'er, his face was ruddy, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points.
"Yes, Xianggong, you wait a minute, I'll get it." Su Jiu'er said, turned around and entered the house.
When digging the canal, Su Jiu'er helped Gu Feng change a lot of copper plates, in order to be able to send money to the people in the village.
This is where it comes in handy.
Su Jiu'er took out a bunch of money, handed it to Gu Feng, and sat aside to watch Gu Feng give the child New Year's money.
In the past, those children only had snacks to eat during the New Year, but now they can still get New Year's money, and they are elated.
Many families rarely let children go to their own homes to pay New Year's greetings, and the big ones think that children can bring good luck.
Many adults came to Gu's house to eat, and seeing so many children greeting Gu Feng for the New Year, they all said that Gu Feng would definitely have good luck this year.
Gu Feng didn't react when he heard that, but Su Jiu'er was happy to hear it, and hurriedly took out the delicious pastries at home and beckoned those people to eat together.
The time of the New Year always flies quickly, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Jiu'er and Mama Zhu were wrapping dumplings together, and when they heard someone knocking on the door outside, they hurriedly asked Gu Feng to open the door.
After a while, Gu Feng led a strange man in, and Su Jiu'er saw that the man was dressed in a military uniform and hurriedly stood up.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu." The man saluted Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, and took out a gilded post from his sleeve, "In the name of General Wang, the last general invites the two to go to the general's mansion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." ”
Gu Feng took the post and wanted to keep someone for dinner, but he didn't want that person to say anything, saying that he wanted to go back to his life.
Su Jiu'er washed her hands, opened the post and looked at it, and when she saw Gu Feng sending someone back, she said with a smile, "Xianggong, do we want to prepare something for senior brother?" ”
In the past, Su Jiu'er called General Wang, and Gu Feng was a little unhappy, so she changed her name to Senior Brother.
"Not at all." Gu Feng said casually, "Senior brother doesn't lack anything. ”
Su Jiu'er felt that she shouldn't ask Gu Feng about this.
Gu Feng felt that he and his senior brother didn't need to see each other, and they didn't need to buy anything, and the senior brother's was his.
But when you go to someone's house for the Chinese New Year, how can you not bring something with you?
Su Jiu'er asked Mama Zhu to make dumplings alone, and went back to the house to find things by herself, just thinking about seeing what else she could take at home.
"Xianggong," Su Jiu'er rummaged through the cabinets and shouted at the door, "Does Senior Brother have children?" ”
Gu Feng leaned in half of his body from outside the door, still holding the child in his hand, "It seems that he is not married." ”
"Huh?" Su Jiu'er frowned slightly, and said with a serious face, "Why haven't you married yet!" ”
"Senior brother has been married once before, but my sister-in-law was killed." Gu Feng seemed to be saying something very ordinary, and said softly, "Later, he never looked for it again." ”
Su Jiu'er's subordinates paused, raised their eyes to look at Gu Feng, and frowned slightly, "That senior brother must be very sad." ”
"It's okay, it's been five years." Gu Feng said indifferently, "Senior brother likes to collect swords the most on weekdays. ”
"We don't have that at home." Su Jiu'er pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Even if it is sold in the town, I'm afraid those things won't be able to enter the eyes of senior brother." ”
"You reminded me that a few days ago I came back with a dagger from the Huns, I looked good, I originally planned to use it for hunting, and I gave it to my senior brother back!" Gu Feng said with some pity.
The two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er hurriedly went to open the door, and saw Zhao standing anxiously at the door.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"Jiu'er, I'm helping Zeqing's kid borrow your carriage, he's dying!" Zhao said breathlessly, his face still blushing after running.
