In fact, Niantong said well, with Ashkun here, there is really no part of them showing affection, Ashkun was waiting for Guo Lili to come back at the gate of Wanjun Mansion early, obviously she is a nobody, but she is still worried, for fear that she will be wronged and injured.

Qin Sang also came to pick them up, seeing that Nian Tong's face was so bad, he knew that there must have been a bloody battle, but fortunately, they all came back safely now.

After walking for a while, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head and asked, "Haven't you rescued Little Brother Yiyang yet?" ”

"......" Nian Tong lowered his eyes and replied lightly, "Yiyang, dead." ”

"Dead?" Qin Sang's eyes widened, "How could he die?" ”

Tang Xi interrupted him: "Okay, don't ask. ”

"Everyone is curious... If you tell me now whose aunt and uncle died on the side of the road, I will also ask whether he died of illness or old age..."Qin Sang muttered.

Nian Tong looked up at Qin Sang and said, "Yi Yang died because of me." After that, he felt a sense of loneliness in his heart, and said, "I'm a little tired, go back to the room to rest first." ”

As soon as Nian Tong turned around to leave, Tang Xi pointed at Qin Sang viciously and said, "Don't ask more!" ”

"I... What's wrong with me? Qin Sang looked at Tang Xi's chasing back aggrievedly, stepped forward to grab Tang Xi, and said, "While Nian Tong is not there, let me ask you, is it that if Yi Yang is dead, you will have a chance?" ”

Tang Xi raised his hand and punched his head: "What are you thinking?" But then he smiled, "I'm in a good mood, so I don't care about you." ”

"Wow, you're too frustrated, although Yi Yang is dead, you have a chance, but you won't be in a good mood!" Qin Sang complained.

"Niantong confessed to me." Tang Xi said proudly.

"Who?" Qin Sang touched his ears, "You are the subject and object reversed, right?" Or do you have paranoia? ”

Tang Xi raised her hand again and said, "She just misunderstood that the person she liked was Yiyang, but in fact, the person she liked has always been me." Tang Xi's tone rose slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Qin Sang scratched his head, let out a long "oh", and only reacted after a while: "You mean, in fact, Niantong's girl is in love with you?" ”

"Exactly." Tang Xi said.

"Hey, I'll just say, I saw at a glance that she had deep feelings for you, but she was a little distant from Yi Yang, but I didn't expect that my eyesight was still good..."

"Hmph, you can start faster than me, isn't that dignified Kunlun King's daughter Ming Luo also fascinated by you?"

"That's... Accidentally. Qin Sang saw that he was pulling on him, so he waved his hand, "Go find your little apprentice." ”

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows proudly and walked towards Niantong's room.

And it seems that everything has just begun.

......

After more than a month of dull days, the weather finally entered winter.

On the day of the winter solstice, Qu was still busy making rice balls with Niantong in the kitchen. On the day of the winter solstice, it is a custom to eat glutinous rice balls, and there are rumors among the people that eat glutinous rice balls, and they are one year older.

Qu was still busy making noodles, and Niantong was pounding sesame filling, because the weather was cold, the two of them were wearing more, and they felt a little bulky when they moved. However, Niantong is in Huashan and is used to the cold weather.

Niantong put a lot of sugar in the sesame filling, if life is too bitter, eat more sugar, you can always control it. The aroma of sesame seeds overflowed in the kitchen, which made Niantong feel a different kind of warmth.

Originally, Tang Xi also shouted for help, but Niantong felt that he was rude and useless, so he asked him to go out to chop firewood and wait for it to cook rice balls to eat. Tang Xi had a bitter face, he was ridiculed by Qin Sang and Ji Sheng, but there was no way at all, so he obediently went out to chop wood.

Qu still said: "It's hard for him to have the ability, but you asked him to chop wood." ”

"If a man can't even chop wood, what's the use of being capable, right?" Nian Tong smiled. This month, her temper has been used to a lot by Tang Xi.

It turns out that someone is so hurt and petted, it's such a feeling. Although Yi Yang was also very good to herself before, perhaps it was her own psychology that caused her to feel such happiness.

The dough of Qu is still reconciled, the sesame filling of Niantong is also adjusted, and the two of them wrap the rice balls together.

"Still, you say, what if I put a small piece of silver in the rice ball?"

"Broken silver?" Qu still glanced at her.

"It's that I forgot, you, you have been in Cuizhu since you were a child, and you must not know our folk customs. When making rice balls, stuff a small piece of broken silver into a certain one and go out, and when the time comes, everyone gets together to eat the rice balls, and whoever eats the rice balls with broken silver will have good luck in the following year. ”

"Can we stuff a few more pieces of silver in, then?" Qu still asked curiously.

"Hmm... What you said also makes sense, the rules, they are all changed by people, anyway, they are all begging for a lottery, everyone can eat broken silver, why not do it? Nian Tong thought so.

After that, Nian Tong and Qu still took out a few pieces of broken silver and wrapped the rice balls together with great interest.

And Tang Xi finished chopping firewood, panting and carrying the firewood into the kitchen, muttering: "Let me do this kind of work, it's better to let me kill people..."

"What do you want to do all day long?" Nian Tong glanced at him, "You will chop wood at home every day from now on." ”

Tang Xi was inexplicably a little happy when he heard this. Chopping wood at home? And her? If he can really be with her in this life in the future, he can still accept it.

Thinking about it, he felt a little happy, and inadvertently smirked.

Qu still asked, "You idiot, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Of course, I want to live a quiet life with my little apprentice in the future." Tang Xi didn't hide it, and said generously.

"Ah, it's so sad." Qu still pretended to wipe his tears.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Nian Tong hurriedly explained.

"You want to repent?" Tang Xi asked.

"No..."Nian Tong is not a person on either side." "I don't know what you're fighting here." Tang Xi, hurry up and make a fire! ”

Tang Xi said pitifully to Qu Still: "You see, now that she knows how to call me, she may have forgotten that I am her master......

"Hey, it's not like you spoiled her."

"You guys, why is there another front now!" Nian Tong and Qu are still fighting, chasing and fighting in the kitchen.

Tang Xi watched them play around, and a smile melted into his eyes, he hoped that he would always see them like this in the future.

Niantong hid behind Tang Xi, because Tang Xi was too tall and covered her whole person, Tang Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to make a fire, you go cook rice balls." ”

Qu still let her go, walked to the stove, got into the water, and got down the dumplings.

The glutinous rice balls were boiled in the water, and the aroma became more and more intense, Tang Xi was greedy, so when the two of them felt that the kitchen was stuffy and went outside to get some air, they stole a glutinous rice ball to eat. As soon as the soft glutinous sesame seeds spread out between the lips and teeth, the teeth "gurgle" and I don't know what to bite, "oops".

Nian Tong jumped in with her skirt and saw Tang Xi covering her face and crooked teeth, she was a little stunned at first, but then reacted and laughed.

"Tang Xi, hahaha, did you steal the rice balls, and you also ate the rice balls with broken silver?" Nian Tong covered his stomach with a smile.

Tang Xi's face was full of black lines: "What kind of schadenfreude are you doing, are you still happy that I bit the silver?" ”

"Of course I'm happy. You should know that it is a blessing to eat rice balls and bite into broken silver, you just eat one casually and eat rice balls with broken silver, which means that you will be smooth and safe next year, so I laughed. Nian Tong said.

Tang Xi spit out the broken silver and said, "What kind of good thing is this, what if someone is hungry and swallows it?" And how to do it? ”

"Do you think everyone is like you? Besides, aren't you good? Nian Tong said.

Tang Xi couldn't say anything about her, so he had to keep quiet, but thinking about it, he was blessed, it should be Niantong's good fortune, thinking about it, he was also a lot happier.

Nian Tong suddenly said: "Hey, my glutinous rice balls are going to be mushy!" Then I hurried over, put out the fire, and scooped up the rice balls, but fortunately, the rice balls were only soft and glutinous, and they did not paste off.

When it was time for dinner, Nian Tong and Qu still went out with bowls of rice balls. Ah Chen was also at the table, although she knew that Ah Chen had long resented herself in the Red Sleeve Villa, but Niantong regarded her as a friend after all, if she could not tear her face, she would definitely treat her well.

In addition to the dumplings, there are also many side dishes and pastries on the table. For example, fresh fried peanuts, plum blossom cakes, and greasy cold cucumber shreds.

The last time such a group of people got together was a long time ago, because of this winter solstice, everyone had this opportunity to get together again. It's just that Yi Yang is missing, which makes Niantong feel a little lonely and inadequate in his heart. I don't know, is he doing well in that place?

Because there are many rice balls with broken silver in them, almost everyone eats the rice balls with broken silver, and the atmosphere at the banquet is much more relaxed.

After the meal, Nian Tong boiled tea for everyone and said: "This year, everyone has had a hard time, and now the winter solstice has arrived, and the New Year is not far away." I still cook this glutinous rice ball, and I deliberately put broken silver, I wish everyone everything is safe and sweet. The rice balls are a little sweet and greasy, so I boiled tea to relieve everyone's greasyness. ”

This tea is brewed with frost and dew in the early morning, which is very fresh and greasy, and everyone is full of praise.

"Now everyone is here, in pairs, only Qin Sang, you are alone, I don't know when your fiancée Miss Mingluo will appear?" Tang Xi said jokingly.
