Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Gift
When Yun came in, she happened to see Shu Sirui trying on new clothes, and she saw a rare smile on Shu Sirui's face, and she felt happy in her heart.
"The dumplings are cooked, Zhu'er, you go to the kitchen to help your mother serve things, Rui'er, you are a guest, just sit in the house and wait." Putting the dishes in his hand on the table, Yun Shi said to Yun Zhu, and then took Shu Sirui's hand and let him sit on the kang.
Yunzhu answered and walked outside the house, today is the Chinese New Year, and her wine has been fermented for a long time, so she can open it and taste it today.
Thinking so, Yunzhu first went to the kitchen to bring the dumplings and vegetables into the house, and then went to the house where he stored his things and loaded some wine into the house.
"Mother, today's New Year, Shu Sirui is also here, let's drink some wine to celebrate." Shaking the wine in her hand, Yun Zhu said with a smile, Yun Shi looked at the wine in her hand and nodded with a smile.
"That's what wine you get?" Waiting for Yun Zhu to pour the wine into the glass, Yun Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised, she took a sip and couldn't help but exclaim. "This one tastes good!"
Hearing Yun's praise, Yun Zhu couldn't help but feel proud, she looked at Shu Sirui, motioned for him to taste it too, and then praised herself.
Looking at the hope on Yunzhu's face, Shu Sirui picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip.
This man and woman drink wine is different, women like sweet wine, while men love spirits more, Shu Sirui is from the military camp after all, naturally he often drinks spirits, so this wine for him, there is no taste of wine, it's just ......
Shu Sirui tasted it again, and he felt that the wine of Yunzhu was very similar to the taste of a kind of amber wine he had drunk at the palace banquet, which was brought from the West and was said to be extremely precious, and a cup could be worth a thousand gold.
In fact, don't look at Shu Sirui's age, but now he is an official general, and he is the emperor's right-hand man in the court, so this amber wine has naturally been drunk, and more than once.
After taking another sip, Shu Sirui could be sure that the wine made by Yunzhu did taste similar to the amber wine he had drunk, to be precise, Yunzhu's wine was better in color than amber wine, and the taste was stronger than amber wine, but the degree of this wine was worse.
"Mother, Shu Sirui must also think it is delicious, you see that he drank three sips in a row." The things you make yourself can be affirmed by others, which is a very happy thing for Yunzhu.
Before, Yunzhu was still worried that after arriving in ancient times, the first attempt to make wine would fail, but he didn't expect it to be really successful, it seems that he is still very lucky in making things.
When she started to make mash, it was also a success, vinegar, soy sauce, tofu and now wine, Yunzhu felt that God must be favoring her, so she would be so smooth.
"It's really good." Looking at the smile on Yun Zhu's face, Shu Sirui nodded and replied, even if this wine didn't feel anything to him, but in exchange for Yun Zhu's smile, he was naturally willing to say that it was delicious.
Hearing Shu Sirui say that it was delicious, Yunzhu was more happy, she picked up the wine glass and tasted it, although the wine was not particularly strong, but it had a different flavor.
"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat dumplings, don't patronize and drink." Yun picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat for Shu Sirui, "Boys need to eat more, so that they can grow stronger." ”
Wearing the new clothes made by the Yun family and eating the meals made by the Yun family and Yun Zhu themselves, the warmth in Shu Sirui's eyes was even better.
"By the way, Rui'er, I haven't asked, how old are you this year?" While eating, Yun looked at Shu Sirui, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"I was born on the first day of the first month, so after tomorrow, I will be fifteen years old." Hearing Yun's question, Shu Sirui was obviously stunned, but then returned to normal and opened his mouth to answer Yun's question.
"Tomorrow is your birthday? Then stay today, you sleep in the house of Yunzhu, and tomorrow your aunt will celebrate your birthday! Yun had thought about Shu Sirui's age before, she estimated that she was a few years old with her own Yun Zhu, but she didn't expect it to be the case, as soon as she heard that tomorrow would be his birthday, Yun smiled and said, leaving him to stay at home at night.
A child who is only fifteen years old is not much different from his own daughter, so what can he do if he stays overnight?
"I have to go back." Even if Shu Sirui wanted to stay, he had to leave, because he only had time tonight, and after tomorrow, he had other things to do.
"Do you have to go?" As soon as he heard Shu Sirui say that he wanted to go back, Yun Zhu looked at him and asked, Shu Sirui nodded, which made Yun Zhu's heart a little lost.
"In that case, let's talk about it later when we have a chance." Looking at Yun's smile, he opened his mouth and cut off the wine glass on the table, "Tonight's meal, in addition to celebrating the New Year, is regarded as celebrating your birthday in advance, let's have a drink, shall we?" ”
The three wine glasses collided together, making a crisp sound, at this moment, Shu Sirui's biggest wish is to hope that time will slow down, at this time he has some vague thoughts in his heart, but ...... Everything takes time.
After eating, because it was still early at midnight, Shu Sirui was not in a hurry to leave, he sat on the kang and listened to Yunzhu chatting with Yun's mother and daughter.
"Shu Sirui, what the hell are you doing?" Handing Shu Sirui a peeled orange, Yunzhu asked suspiciously.
Listening to Yun Zhu's question, Shu Sirui fell silent, he didn't want Yun Zhu to know his identity, he was afraid that after Yun Zhu knew, his attitude towards himself would completely change like those people.
Seeing that Shu Sirui didn't say anything, Yunzhu was a little helpless, "That's it, that's it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it." ”
After speaking, Yunzhu picked up an apple, took a bite hard, and looked at the appearance, as if he was a little unhappy.
Yunzhu was like this, Shu Sirui was suddenly a little at a loss, he wanted to open his mouth to say his identity, but he was still hesitant, and for a while, he was a little at a loss.
Yun sat aside, looking at Yun Zhu and Shu Sirui's appearance, a smile appeared on her face, she smiled and spoke, playing a round for Shu Sirui, "Zhu'er, don't be angry with Rui'er, it's not that Rui'er will celebrate his birthday in advance today, we should let him be." ”
After Yun Shi's words were finished, a smile appeared on Yun Zhu's face, she was naturally not really angry, she was just playing with Shu Sirui.
Seeing that Yunzhu's face showed a smile again, Shu Sirui's heart was relieved, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Changing the topic, Yun Zhu talked to Yun Shi about something else, in Yun Zhu's heart, he had always dreamed of having a house and a store in the town, so that he could make more money.
"Mother, I'm working hard to make money, let's buy land next year, go to the town the year after tomorrow, buy a house, and then buy a shop, and then hire two guys in the future, let's also enjoy the taste of being served." With a grin, Yun Zhu told Yun Shi about his ideals.
"You kid, you really dare to think one day, the houses in the town are only enough for us to build several in the countryside, and how can it be so easy to buy houses and shops?" Yun Shi stretched out his hand to cut Yun Zhu's hair between his sideburns, and then said with a smile.
"Mother, no matter what, people have to pursue a little, only in this way can they have goals and work hard, right?" Yun Zhu knew that the Yun clan couldn't even think about going to the town to buy a house, so she smiled and spoke, instilling in the Yun clan the idea of daring to think.
In Yunzhu's opinion, since she was able to earn enough money to build a house in just a few months, she would definitely be able to earn money to buy a house in the future, and the age of her body was only ten years old this year, and the days ahead were still long!
"Okay, good, my mother also thinks about it, and thinks about it every day." Yun responded with a smile, but just thinking about it, then thinking about it.
"Shu Sirui, why don't you build a house in our village in the future, do you see the vacant land next to my house? You can build one like my family, and you will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and you will be able to live in it, and if you have more children, you will talk about it when the time comes. After talking to Yun Shi, Yun Zhu looked at Shu Sirui again and said to him with a smile.
"You girl, how old are you, you talk about marrying a daughter-in-law and having children, I think you drank too much." As soon as Yun Zhu's words fell, Yun Shi hurriedly spoke, and Yun Zhu didn't care, laughing hee-ha-ha.
Looking at the smile on Yun Zhu's face, looking at what Yun Zhu said just now, Shu Sirui felt that maybe he should consider Yun Zhu's proposal.
Talking and laughing, it was time for the child, every household outside set off firecrackers to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, Yunzhu took Shu Sirui to finish the firecrackers in the courtyard, then took a purse and stuffed it into Shu Sirui's hand with a smile.
"Shu Sirui, happy New Year, happy birthday, in this purse, is for your New Year's money, this purse is embroidered by my own hand, it is regarded as a birthday gift, you have to keep it well, I embroidered such a one this year."
Looking at the purse in his hand, a smile flashed in Shu Sirui's eyes, he thought about it, took a jade plate from his neck, and put Yunzhu on his neck with his own hands.
"This can't be your heirloom, right? Wear it for your daughter-in-law in the future? Looking at the jade plate around her neck, Yun Zhu said with a smile, she was indeed a little drunk today, so she didn't think too much about it.
Yun Zhu really guessed correctly, this is Shu Sirui's family heirloom, but in the face of Yun Zhu's question, Shu Sirui did not answer, he just put away the purse and put it away, which made Yun Zhu a little depressed, this stuffy gourd, he refused to say a word.
Anyway, Yun Zhu was still very happy that Shu Sirui gave her the personal things, she rubbed the jade card with Shu Sirui's body temperature, and after playing for a while, she turned her back to Shu Sirui and put the jade card close to her.
Looking at Yunzhu's serious appearance, the smile on Shu Sirui's lips deepened.
Now that the time has passed, Shu Sirui should also leave, and the Yun family and Yun Zhu sent him to the door together, watching him disappear into the night.
