Liu Zhi opened the makeup, she and her father and mother in the past two years, she will not speak, her father and mother also neglected to add jewelry to her, the box is almost still the toy jewelry when she was a little girl, the gilt faded, revealing the copper below, the silver is also black, and the silk flowers are not bright when they are covered with dust.

She chose two headbands, braided them into braids, and put them behind her ears. Willow Branch is only ingenious in one meal, and other female red dressers can't do it, so he only braided two of the simplest braids for himself. After dressing up, she took the basket to the river to wash clothes, and came back to wash vegetables and cook, as usual. At the end of the day, she went to the kitchen to prepare for a hot bath, and saw Li's mother bringing a bowl to greet her: "The eldest girl wishes you a year and a year." ”

A small bunch of very fine silver filigree noodles rolled into a nest of silk in the clear soup, covered with a golden poached egg and a few green green leaves. The willow branch took it, picked it up with chopsticks, and ate slowly. Mother Li sat next to her, watched her hair a little loose at the end of the day, helped her tidy up her scattered hair, and finally said, "I have wronged you." ”

The willow branch was silent, and ate a bowl of noodles cleanly, and drank not a drop of soup.

The next afternoon, when Willow Branch came back from shopping for vegetables, he saw Wicker looking at him timidly, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, so he couldn't help but soften his voice and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Xiao Xiao'er?" ”

"Sister, is your birthday already over?" It turned out that Feng Jiaojiao sent someone to congratulate the gift of willow branches and flutes just now, which was a red gold hairpin with butterflies wrapped around flowers.

The Li family remembered that yesterday was their eldest daughter's birthday, and she was still in her prime. Li was full of apologies: "Zhi'er, there are a lot of things at home this year. You're not angry with your parents, are you? ”

The willow branch shook his head, and the wicker followed his sister like a small tail, and only then did he muster up his courage when he walked under the soaphorn tree: "Sister, can I embroider a handkerchief for you?" ”

Liu Zhi smiled and touched his sister's head: "Okay." "Then I looked at the blue sky, and thought that I was already fifteen, why didn't you come back.

In winter, Liu Wang's family and Lu Xiyue still returned to the countryside to Zhuangzi for the New Year. The reunion dinner was lively and lively, rich and full, uncle Li Rong poured wine for the boys, he regretted a little in his heart that the little official was too gentle, if that kid was there, he would be able to be lively with him, alas, who called his brother-in-law likes to read people. He still likes Li Chun more.

Liu Zhi carried a small round bamboo basket from the kitchen back to his room, in which were placed a bag of lucky oranges and a stack of self-made sauce-flavored lasagna. This basket was learned to be woven by his cousin when Li Chun lived here that year, and his gourd basket was gone, and he told him how sorry it was, and he didn't have the money to buy another one for himself, so he made one.

It's not very well braided, it's coarse, and it's still okay to load things. He had a lot of blood on his hands, and he always had injuries on his body, either here or there, but when I asked him, he always said that it didn't hurt, and he didn't feel it. His uncle treated him so badly, he caught so many fish and was beaten and starved, but he never said this, and every time he saw himself, he was smiling.

A pimple in Liu Zhi's heart that couldn't melt was that the beating at his father's temple fair made his laugh disappear.

She clenched the basket tightly, filled it with food, and pretended that he was with her for the New Year. He remembered that he had buried his head in his neck and tears were streaming down his neck when he remembered the final parting—the sound of firecrackers outside was just enough to drown out her whimper. Willow Branch covered her mouth and cried heartbreakingly.

Listen to the wind and rain after Qingming, silk demand for several years in a row, last year several large silk lines to collect spring silk to each package has increased a cent of silver, the gap is too big, Xia Silk actually purchased the price and spring silk parity, earning people smile crookedly. Liu Wangzhi regretted that he was timid and leaked his money, and this year he made preparations early, and mortgaged all the houses on Tianshuijing Street to do a big job.

On the dock, the Liu family bid farewell to Liu Wang, and the Yang family bid farewell to Yang Dongyun. Yang Lushi and Yang Xiucai hugged their sons with joy, as if tomorrow would be the old lady and the old Fengjun. However, the Yang family's popularity is obviously not good, and the two in-laws, the Feng family, did not come, and the Liu family did not come; Feng Jinbao called a guy to send a bag of clothes and a bag of cakes, and the Liu family also asked a guy Xiaojia to send a package to the dock. Yang Lushi opened it on the spot, and saw only a pair of pen and ink, a bag of cakes and a hundred brand-new big coins strung with red ropes, and scolded the Liu family's small utensils, you must know that Feng Jinbao's clothes were stuffed with five taels of snow and silver ingots.

The boatman was impatient to listen to the woman's sprinkling, and only urged: "Xiucai lady go back." Yang Lushi stepped on the pedal, and suddenly the soles of his feet suddenly stepped on something, and he screamed and danced with his arms, and only grabbed one Yang Xiucai, and the couple fell into the river together. Yang Dongyun was lying on the bow of the boat so anxious that he called for the boatman to save people, but the boatman slowly lit a pot of cigarettes: "Brother Xiucai, what is the hurry, the dock is shallow, and you can't drown." ”

I saw Lao Tzu and his mother tossing in the water, shouting for help, which caused a crowd of onlookers. "Hey, the little brother is still a scholar, I don't know how to give rewards, who will contribute to you" Some people saw Yang Dongyun doing a lot of things, but he couldn't help, and gave advice. Someone immediately retorted: "His family is notoriously stingy, the old lady's life is not worth a hundred dollars, and she will save a mouthful of rations when she dies." ”

Yang Dongyun had already stuffed the hundred money sent by the Liu family just now to the boat family with a white face, and the boat family knocked on the cigarette pot: "Brother Xiucai, why do you bother, you said that the water is shallow-"

"Don't give him money" Yang Lushi screamed, she had already woken up, the boat had not been untied, the water in this place was only one person high, if an adult stood firmly, he could show his head, even she, a short woman, had no worries about her life, but just drank two sips of water. Inspired by a hundred dollars, Yang Lushi grabbed Yang Xiucai's hair and dragged him to the shore in one go.

Yang Dongyun got off the boat early and covered the old lady with his own clothes, and the docks were all shirtless idlers. Yang Lushi spit out two mouthfuls of water, and had already bravely called the boatman to return the hundred money, Yang Dongyun only wanted to block the old lady's mouth, and lowered his voice to stop the old lady from calling again. I found a few more Qian Yang people to invite a sedan chair to send my mother and father back. Yang Lu's reluctant, but his clothes were soaked, clinging to his body, he couldn't swagger through the market like this, he had no choice but to get into the sedan chair, and he didn't want to get back a hundred dollars, but he only scolded Qingshuijiang at a sky-high price.

This excitement dissipated, Yang Dongyun was so tired that his legs and stomach cramped, and he didn't see Miss Liu to see him off, so he climbed onto the boat and fell down, thinking that what she said I am not on the same road as you; Now although he is chasing his studies, he has delayed the time to make love to her, and there is no need to mention the frustration in his heart.

Yang Lushi was reluctant to grab the medicine when he went back, so he cut a few slices of ginger and boiled water to drink, and he became ill; Li heard the gloating description of Li's mother.
