Chapter Seventy-Three: Meeting
Huo Dagui's roaring voice woke up the dazed Kou Xi, and she opened her eyes to see the quilt on her body. He sat up with a frown, rubbing his sore temples in a daze.
"Huh?" Kou Xi draped the quilt and saw the neatly folded army green coat on the sofa, and then looked at the army green duffel bag dropped under the leek shelf.
Kou Xi's eyes widened and he was excited and nervous, more than that, he felt incredible. In her memory, Huo An did not come back for the Spring Festival in the first year of marriage. He only returned home in May, so Kou Xi was mentally prepared when he received the letter.
But why did he come back?
Kou Xi got down from the kang and hurried to the next room. Walking to the door and seeing the fluffy hair in the mirror, Kou Xi hurriedly turned around again.
Nervously circling around the room, not knowing what to do. After walking around the room three or four times, Kou Xi patted his head: "Wash your face and change your clothes!"
Because she knew that today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was to be made by herself, she didn't clean it up.
Fortunately, Kou Xi boiled hot water last night and took a clean shower inside and out. But the faint scent of the hair has long been overpowered by the smell of food.
Kou Xi washed his face with hot water, washed and dried the iron tongs that usually hold coal blocks, and burned them in the stove. Grab the watering can from the windowsill and spray it wet in your hair.
Then take out the alabaster to moisturize the skin, and then wipe your face with almond honey. I picked up the "Chunfeng" incense powder and thought about it, and decided not to wipe it so white. But I still used the "Yimei" makeup box to draw my eyebrows and apply an eyeliner. I took out the lipstick of the green tube and applied it lightly.
Kou Xi is twenty-one years old, and at such a good age, even if he doesn't wear makeup, he looks good in pink. Using the technique of nude makeup in later generations, dress up a little and make the whole person energetic and good-looking.
Kou Xi took out the iron tongs from the stove, grabbed his hair with one hand and strooped them down with scissors in the other. The slightly damp hair made a 'clatter' sound with the iron tongs, and the room immediately filled the room with a smell of burnt paste.
There was no straightener in this era, and Kou Xi thought that people in the past liked to use this kind of iron pliers to curl their hair, so he simply straightened his hair.
Fortunately, she has long hair, and she usually does more and has steady hands. In a moment her hair was all straight. Kou Xi took a small wet handkerchief and put it on his forehead. Carefully clamp the bangs and gently buckle them inside, and the simple, neat and thick Qi bangs are also done.
Kou Xi put the iron tongs back and cleaned up the mess on the table. In front of the mirror, I made a ball of hair. I opened the wardrobe and thought about changing into a turtleneck sweater that was as white as snow. She also knitted a short red sweater with butterfly sleeves and a long tweed-length skirt that was quite popular in the era.
Kou Xi thought about it and thought that the red color was too deliberate, and it was better to look better in a white sweater.
She knitted the white sweater long, knee-high two inches. And in order to keep myself weight during the Chinese New Year, I deliberately made it a little smaller than my normal size. At this time, she put on this sweater and was slender and moderate, outlining the curvature of her breasts, hips and back locus.
Kou Xi took off his big cotton pants and put on his own wool pants over the autumn pants, and put on a pair of bodybuilding pants over the wool pants. Stepping on the black military hook leather shoes she bought for the New Year, the leather shoes were actually small boots, and Kou Xi couldn't see what it looked like in the white socks of elastic pants at all.
Kou Xi, who was dressed in new clothes, stood in front of the mirror and looked left and right. The person in the mirror is young and beautiful, with a pair of big watery eyes that are clear and innocent. The eyeliner she deliberately painted made her eyes look bigger and more intense. The face is white with lipstick, and the complexion is ruddy and shiny.
In this era, ordinary fashionable girls will burn a big wave, but Kou Xi has found another way. The balls and bangs make her look like a young and beautiful college student.
The long white sweater frames the perfect figure, and the close-fitting stretch pants make her legs look thin. Kou Xi was very satisfied with this dress, thought about it and smeared a little perfume behind his ears. Sure that he was flawless, he walked next door in a hurry.
Kou Xi stood at the door and hesitated for a few seconds, cheering himself up: "Anyway, I'm older than him now, I have experience and he doesn't have it, come on, come on!"
The door opened, and Kou Xi walked in. Huo Dagui happened to be standing in the corridor and pulling and pulling with Li Cuilian, and he was stunned when he saw Kou Xi.
"Oh mom, who is this, it's so good-looking!" Li Cuilian clapped her hands and said excitedly into the house: "Huo An, look who's coming!"
Huo Dagui couldn't help but look Kou Xi up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you should dress up like this, it's so good-looking, not bad, not bad!"
Kou Xi said embarrassedly: "I didn't dress up, I just changed into a new dress!"
Huo An was sitting inside the room talking to Huo Tianyi, and heard a young female voice outside with her ears erected. I couldn't help but clench my fists, and my heart floated out.
"Huo An!" Kou Xi was the first to speak, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes and a smile and saying gently, "You're back!"
"You're awake!" Huo An's voice couldn't help but soften, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.
"Have you eaten, are you hungry?" Kou Xi stood by the wall and walked over embarrassedly, his eyes seemed to be glued to Huo An's body.
Huo An had never been looked at so affectionately by a woman, as if he would slip away if he didn't pay attention.
"Oh, Tianyi. Li Cuilian laughed and shouted to Huo Tianyi: "Come over quickly, let your uncle and aunt have a good conversation!"
Huo Tianyi usually admires his uncle the most, and when he heard his grandparents arguing outside, he ran out to see the excitement. I was surprised to find that the uncle was not afraid of them at all, unlike his own parents, who had to hide as long as their grandparents quarreled. At this time, he was the most intense time to worship Huo An, where could he listen to Li Cuilian's words.
Kou Xi stepped forward with a smile and touched Huo Tianyi's head, and asked softly, "Uncle is coming back, he must be hungry." Would you like to give something to eat to your uncle?"
"Uncle, I'll give you my biscuits!" Huo Tianyi was generous, and stepped forward to take Kou Xi's hand: "Auntie, then you cook for him." ”
Kou Xi lowered his head and smiled: "Then you talk to your uncle, I'll make something delicious, okay?"
"Okay!" Huo Tian's eyes were gone, and he nodded heavily.
Li Cuilian stood at the door and couldn't help but interject: "How can you cook when you're dressed so white?" Come on, I'll go cook rice." There's so much meat left!"
Kou Xi ignored her: "What are you cooking, just stir-fry two new dishes with so many ingredients!"
After walking to the kitchen, Kou Xi washed two fresh green peppers. Take out half an elbow that is placed aside, slice it and put it in the pot to make a green pepper stir-fried meat.
Dried chili peppers and green peppers were put into the pot and a stir-fried kidney flower was made.
The stewed goose picks out the clean meat, brushes the pot and pours in soybean oil. Fried goose meat, potato wedges, celery segments, and peanuts. After frying, remove the soybean oil and leave a little. Bring to a boil and sprinkle garlic cloves, ginger slices, chili peppers, and a spoonful of homemade chili paste. Pour in the potato cubes, celery segments, peanuts and stir-fry again, then pour in the goose meat, pour soy sauce and stir-fry over high heat.
Chop the remaining braised chicken feet in half, heat the oil in the pot, pour in the chili sauce and make a spicy chicken feet.
"Stir-fried meat with green peppers, stir-fried kidney flowers, goose meat in a dry pot, spicy chicken feet!" Kou Xi put the four dishes on the table, and served Huo An a large bowl of rice slowly: "You make a cushion first, and I will make celery stuffed dumplings for you in the evening!"
