Chapter 3 The Second Day of the Lunar New Year
Bai Zi didn't like to hear this, so he only flattened the corners of his mouth and said, "Grandmother always behaves as a child."
Bai Zhan's position was the same as that of Old Madam Jiang, and he retorted directly: "Aren't you just a child? All day long, I just know how to worry others. ”
Bai Zi was silent, she opened her mouth, she really couldn't say two people, so she had to say, "Then I won't say it." He lowered his head and took another sip of ginger tea.
Old Madam Jiang and Bai Zhan couldn't help but laugh when they looked at her, and they both shook their heads helplessly.
At this time, Zhan Zhen happened to step in and said loudly: "The winter in Yuanjing is getting colder and colder day by day."
Old Madam Jiang said: "Isn't it?" The year is getting colder and colder. ”
Bai Jue was not interested: "Moreover, there is early snow this year, a little earlier than in previous years." As he spoke, he turned his head to see what Zhan Yu was doing.
Zhan Jue's hand stretched out a chestnut and raised it in front of Bai Jue, and asked him with a smile: "Why is Ah Jue getting more and more troublesome every year?!"
Bai Jue ignored what he said, reached out and took the chestnut, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said smoothly: "This chestnut tastes good, is it from Deshenglou?"
Zhan Jue nodded with a smile, Bai Zi looked at Bai Jue in surprise and chewed the chestnut, and exclaimed: "Brother is so powerful, he can actually taste the origin?!"
Zhan Yu explained with a smile: "That's because your brother has eaten too many places, and he often goes to Desheng Building, if you can't remember, then it's weird."
At this time, Bai Zhan's finger poked the corner of Bai Zi's forehead, and said, "Don't learn from your brother, it's becoming more and more improper."
Bai Zi pitifully covered the corner of Bai Zhan's forehead, and flattened the corners of his mouth: "How can my mother teach me a lesson?!" It's time to teach my brother a lesson. ”
"Eh," Bai Jue spoke, holding a chestnut in his hand, and walked towards Bai Zi, "How can this teach me a lesson?" It's just to go out to study knowledge, and by the way, I ate in Desheng Building, and I can remember the taste after eating too much, isn't it normal?! After speaking, he reached out and handed the chestnut he was holding in his hand to Bai Zi, and raised his eyebrows at Bai Zhan's frowning appearance and wanting to teach him a lesson, but he didn't know how to speak.
Bai Zhan's anger froze, and Bai reached out to take the chestnut handed over by Bai Jue, put it in his mouth and chewed it, it looked like a three-year-old child took his beloved candy and cherished it. Bai Zhan's heart suddenly softened when he saw it, as if he sighed to himself, and stopped arguing with the two children.
At this time, Zhan Zhen just cleaned his hands, and came out of the inner room with Mrs. Jiang, and said, "What do you want to eat at noon, grandmother will go and let the kitchen prepare it."
Bai Zhan stepped forward, grabbed Mrs. Jiang's hand, and said, "It's still early, and my daughter will go with you later."
Old Madam Jiang nodded: "It's okay." So, with Zhan Zhen, he sat on the soft couch, and the soft couch was placed with wool felt as a backrest.
Zhan Zhen beckoned to Bai Jue and Bai Zi at this time, and said, "Ah Jue and Xing'er are coming here."
When Bai Jue heard this, he and Bai Zi looked at each other, and they both stepped forward and stood in front of Zhan Zhen.
Zhan Zhen beckoned, letting the two subordinates come in with their things, Bai Jue and Bai Zi saw the brocade box in the hands of the subordinates, and knew that Zhan Zhen was going to give New Year's gifts to the two of them.
Bai Zi beckoned to Fu'er behind him, asking her to summon Zhu'er over, and Fu'er took the order. Bai Zicai walked towards Zhan Zhen and Old Madam Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Ah Jue and Aunt Yuan are a year older, and they have become adults."
Zhan Zhen: "This year is still the same as in previous years, the Spring Festival is indispensable." After speaking, he took the brocade box in his subordinate's hand and put it in front of Bai Jue and Bai Zi, and said, "Look, see if you like it or not?" I don't like to change again. ”
Bai Zizi laughed dumbly when he heard this, and said, "How can there be an ancestor like this!" If you don't like it, you don't want money. ”
Bai Jue was serious and echoed Bai Zi: "Aunt Yuan is right, my grandfather and grandmother gave us gifts, and I was already very happy in my heart, how can I say that I don't like it and change it?!"
Zhan Yu said with a smile at this time: "Ah Jue, your grandparents love you and your cousin, so they naturally respond to their needs."
Bai Zhan's smile at this time made an excuse: "Hey, don't envy your two cousins, my aunt also brought gifts to you."
Zhan Yu looked surprised: "Aunt is serious?"
Bai Zhan took one of the brocade boxes from Xiang'er's hand and stretched it out to Zhan Yu: "Naturally, it's true." She learned Zhan Zhen's words and said, "Look, if you don't like it, then change it."
Zhan Yu was stunned when he heard this, suddenly laughed, and said with emotion: "How is my aunt the same as my grandfather."
Zhan Zhen didn't like to listen to this now, so he said straightly: "What about the same old man?" Shame on you?! ”
Zhan Yu hurriedly apologized at this time: "Grandson doesn't dare." But a smile in the corner of his eyes showed that he was in a good mood.
At this time, Zhu'er happened to come back, holding three small brocade boxes in her hands, and stood behind Bai Zi.
Bai Zi glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, grandmother, Xing'er also has a New Year's gift for you."
Zhan Zhen had already seen Zhu'er come in with a brocade box, but when Bai said this, he was still surprised, "Huh?" After a sigh, he asked, "Why is Xing'er going to give gifts to his grandfather and grandmother this year?"
Bai Zi smiled and asked rhetorically: "Do you still need a reason to give gifts to your elders?"
Zhan Zhen replied solemnly: "This is not needed."
Bai smiled to himself, took the brocade box from Zhu'er, and extended two brocade boxes to Zhan Zhen and Mrs. Jiang, and the remaining one to Zhan Yu.
Zhan Yu was surprised: "I have it too?"
Bai Zizi nodded with a smile, half-jokingly: "My cousin is also an elder."
Zhan Yu also half-jokingly said: "In this way, I am old."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed and shook their heads helplessly.
Bai Zi looked at the brocade box in his hand and asked Zhan Zhen, "Can I open it?" In this regard, she really likes to be straight.
Zhan Zhen asked in a loud voice: "Why not?!"
Bai Zi smiled, opened the brocade box in his hand, and between them, there was a pair of emerald heads lying inside, with a smooth jade body and transparent colors. In addition, there is also a jade card placed next to it, and there are three words written on the jade card - Dan Duan.
Bai Zizi looked at the three words, and a hot breath surged from his heart to his eyes, as if he laughed to himself.
Mrs. Jiang also explained on the side: "This is what my grandmother begged for at the witch's place, hoping that it can keep you safe and free from disaster."
Bai Zi blinked the heat in his eyes and nodded, "I know, thank you grandmother."
Old Madam Jiang was disgusted: "What do you say, thank you, you are my grandmother's little heart." She patted the back of her white hand and said lovingly.
