After the incident of Xu Liangyin's family, Liu Guiyuan obviously felt that the members of their sweater club were much more honest, not as impetuous as before, and their knitting skills were getting better and better, which was a blessing in disguise.

As for the five newly recruited new members, Liu Guiyuan arranged them in the hands of Gu's family, and she took the teaching of knitting sweaters and daily wool and sweater collection.

During this period, Xu Liangyin and his family came to deliver the spun woolen thread, seeing that their eyes were red and swollen, they should have stayed up all night to spin, but Liu Guiyuan did not relent, only said that she would spin the wool thread she needed, and she would refund them half of the money before the Chinese New Year.

At this time, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and every household has begun to buy New Year's goods, and Liu Guiyuan's family is no exception, borrowing an ox cart to pull a batch of undyed wool, first sending it to Liaodian's dyeing workshop, and then going to other places to buy some things for the New Year.

Because today is Laba, the town is full of people, more lively than before, the streets are full of stalls selling sugar, meat, and couplets, and there are two ring stalls, one is a set of one article, the other is a set of two articles, of course, the value of the set of things is different.

The three sisters of the Liu family had money in their hands this time, so they took turns with their two sisters to set a circle, but unfortunately she and Liu Huahua were unlucky, and they didn't get anything.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them went to the vegetable stall, bought fresh lotus roots, mushrooms, sweet potato vermicelli and large white radish, and then squeezed out of the vegetable selling area, and went to the stall selling Spring Festival couplets, picked a few couplets with good meanings, and a bunch of blessing characters. This year, the family built a courtyard wall and a new house, and each door had to be pasted with the word blessing to show joy.

After buying vegetables and Spring Festival couplets, Liu Huahua proposed to go to the rouge shop and buy some pearl powder to apply to the face, the fairy dew she originally bought had been used up, and the pockmarks on her face had faded a lot, and now she wanted to insist on applying pearl powder until her face was completely white.

The reason why she went to the rouge shop to buy pearl powder instead of going to the medicine hall she used to frequent, this is because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it is unlucky to go to the medicine hall to buy pearl powder.

"You're going to be exquisite! Then you go to the rouge shop by yourself, and my eldest sister and I will go to the rice grain store to buy the laba porridge, and then we will meet here. Liu Guiyuan's legs were sore, not to mention that they were still driving ox carts, so they didn't want to run more.

"Okay, okay, remember to buy more walnuts and raisins for Laba porridge." Liu Huahua waved his hand at them, turned his head and went to the rouge shop by himself.

Speaking of their place, eating laba porridge is quite particular, not only to buy all the grains and rice, but also to accompany a variety of fruits, such as walnuts, pine nuts, ginkgo seeds, raisins, of course, such as red dates, peanuts and other ingredients, the more the merrier. In short, the richer the person, the more particular he is about eating laba porridge.

Liu Guiyuan and Liu Hongjube walked to the rice grain shop, and Liu Guiyuan proposed to watch the ox cart outside and asked the eldest sister to go in and buy it herself.

Liu Hongzao nodded, crossed the threshold and entered the shop, and was looking down to pick out a handful of red beans, inexplicably feeling a gaze looking at him, looking up, he couldn't help but rejoice, and then put down the red beans in his hand, walked over and said hello: "Brother Sun, why are you here?" Isn't the shop busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm going to close the store in the next two days, it's Laba today, I'll come over to buy some red dates, I didn't expect to meet you." Sun Jingxuan sighed in his heart What a coincidence, he just came to this store, just weighed half a catty of red dates, and was thinking that there was a girl named red dates, and the person who made him miss him came.

When Liu Hongzao heard him say the word "red date", he felt funny and blushed, lowered his head slightly and said, "That's really a coincidence, I also came to buy the ingredients for cooking laba porridge." ”

Brother Sun helped her choose the bag, and at the same time chatted with her, asking, "Red dates, how are you doing at home recently?" Haven't your parents come back yet? I was going to look for you at your house in the next few days. ”

Liu Hongzao nodded and shook his head, biting his lip for a while before saying, "I'm still the same at home, just knitting sweaters and bringing lotus seeds, and I killed the pig some time ago, and I don't even have to bother with the piglet." As for my parents, they haven't come back yet, and I'll ask when I get home, but what are you doing at my house? I'm afraid that the people in the village will say it. ”

Liu Hongzao still doesn't want Sun Jingxuan to go to her house, there are no elders in the family, so it is not appropriate for him to go. However, Sun Jingxuan knew her thoughts, and just explained with a smile: "Don't think about the red dates, I want to give your family money, you forgot that there is still a profit for your family in my shop, this is the end of the year, and it should have been paid to you a long time ago." ”

Liu Hongzao suddenly realized, yes, why did she forget about it, she almost made a mistake, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, she lowered her head and didn't speak, she just cared about dressing rice.

"That's enough, red dates, these are enough for you to eat." Sun Jingxuan looked at her funny, and then called the man to weigh the things in the bag, and paid the money first after weighing, and then said, "Go and sit in my store, I will cook laba porridge for you to drink." ”

Liu Hongjube instinctively refused, saying: "It's a big holiday, how can I spend it in your store, and besides, my little sister is still at home and asked someone else to take care of it." ”

Sun Jingxuan changed his pitiful tone, looked at her sadly and said: "Red dates, you don't want to see me so much, you are not happy to go to your house, ask you to go to my store to sit, can't you talk?" ”

If you want to say that Sun Jingxuan is a serious person in front of his relatives and guests, but in front of the person he likes, he is a different person, how to say it, a little childish, but quite cute.

Liu Hongzao immediately softened when he heard this, thinking that he had to go to his house sooner or later anyway, so he nodded and led him to see Liu Guiyuan outside, and then joined Liu Huahua, followed Sun Jingxuan, who was leading the ox cart, and came to his foot shop together.

As soon as the sisters stepped into the foot shop, they smelled the sweet fragrance of Laba porridge, and then they saw the direction of the back kitchen, Aunt Zhou turned her back to everyone, and was stirring a pot of Laba porridge that had been cooked for a long time.

There are not many customers in the store today, and most of them want to drink a few sips of sweet porridge at home for the festival, and there is a red paper pasted on the wall of the store, which reads the notice of the closure of the fifteenth day of the lunar month and the opening of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Not long after, Sun Jinglun dispersed from the school, lifted the thick curtain from the outside, and got in.

"Well, it's still warm in the house." Sun Jinglun took a frozen hand, and when he saw that the three sisters of the Liu family were there, he said happily: "Sister Red Jujube is here, Sister Peanut is also here, ah, Sister Guiyuan is here, what a coincidence, let's eat Laba porridge today, and there are you in it." ”

Several people gathered around to talk, and soon Aunt Zhou served Laba porridge full of ingredients, and brought out a stack of bowls and chopsticks, and then Sun Jingxuan renovated a braised lamb chops, with white radish and fragrant, very delicious. Liu Guiyuan took a small sip of sweet porridge, then picked up a chopstick lamb chop and ate it with relish.

Otherwise, other people's rice is fragrant, Liu Guiyuan drank two large bowls of sweet porridge in a row, nibbled on a plate of lamb chops, and her stomach could no longer hold any ingredients, so she pulled her second sister to go out to eat, and said that she would come back for a while, in fact, she wanted to keep her eldest sister and Sun Jingxuan for a while.

Sun Jingxuan was at a loss, so he smiled and said, "Then I will make a profit with your eldest sister, don't say that I miscalculated the account when I look back." ”

Liu Guiyuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Then it's up to you, anyway, our two families are not a family sooner or later, you look at it." ”

Liu Hongjube heard the gesture to beat her, Liu Guiyuan hurriedly flashed behind the second sister, and dragged Liu Huahua to go out, but he didn't expect Sun Jinglun to follow him, saying that he was going to the opposite street to set a few circles.

As soon as he said this, Liu Peanhua's hands itched, and he didn't mention walking slowly to eliminate food, but dragged Liu Guiyuan forward, and played for a long time in front of the stall of the ring.

In the foot shop, Aunt Zhou cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the back kitchen to wash, Sun Jingxuan sat across the dining table and looked at her, the two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of indescribable affection. Liu Hongzao only looked at him for two breaths, then hurriedly lowered his head and only stared at the lines on the table.

"Otherwise, it's not appropriate to go to my house and talk, it's not appropriate to settle accounts here." Sun Jingxuan broke the calm first.

"That'...... Okay, too. Liu Hongzao thought to himself that it was really inconvenient to settle accounts and get money here, so he got up and followed him out of the foot shop.

It was cold outside, but the street was more lively than ever, there were vendors selling along the street, shops selling at reduced prices, gambling swoops, and many pedestrians watching the excitement, Liu Hongzao wanted to walk side by side with Sun Jingxuan, but after a few steps, she was squeezed to the other end by pedestrians.

was looking for someone everywhere, a pair of powerful big hands held her somewhat cold little hands, and when she looked up, it turned out that Sun Jingxuan squeezed over from the opposite side, pulled her through the crowd, and walked to a small road.

"Are you alright, are your hands cold?" Sun Jingxuan knew that this move was a bit out of line, but he was unwilling to let go.

"I'm not cold, Brother Sun, let it go, there aren't so many people here." Liu Hongzao was held by him, and he lowered his head like a quail,

"Oh, it's a turn in front of you to Daoxiang Lane, do you want to go and see that small courtyard?" Sun Jingxuan was reluctant to let go, and found other topics on his lips.

"Well, it's okay to see."

The two held hands all the way to the first house in Daoxiang Lane, saw the word "Sun Family" written on the door, and then walked through the Hanging Flower Gate

When you enter the inner courtyard, you will see a boxy courtyard, with gray-white blue brick walls, red carved wooden doors, and bright window paper, all of which are simple and generous.

"It's just been repaired for a few days, you have to dry it to live in, and you have to make some furniture, what kind of tricks do you like, just tell me." Sun Jingxuan felt that Liu Hongzao had withdrawn his hand, so he pushed open the door and invited her to come in to see.

"If you don't go in and take a look, it's not early, and I'm still waiting to go back." Liu Hongzao looked at the yard this time, and began to regret it in his heart, Liu Hongzao, Liu Hongzao, you are bold now, and you are running around with a foreign man, if you let others know, will you be ashamed?

"That's okay, then go back to the old house, and I'll give you the money." Sun Jingxuan saw that she was uncomfortable, closed the door and walked outside, continued to find the topic, and said, "What do you want to eat?" I see that there are rock sugar gourds selling outside, buy you two skewers? ”

Liu Hongzao sneered when she heard this, and said, "How old am I, and I still eat children's snacks, just bring two strings to my two sisters in a while." ”

Sun Jingxuan saw her laugh and laughed with her, and then said: "You are not big, what's wrong with eating a rock sugar gourd, go, I'll buy a bunch for each of you, as well as my brother and my mother, let's have fun." ”

Because of the incident of the rock sugar gourd, the originally uncomfortable atmosphere of the two of them was immediately diluted a lot. After leaving the courtyard, Sun Jingxuan bought rock sugar gourds, and the two of them each held a few strings in their hands, chatting about trivial matters at home while walking, and talking about happiness from time to time, the two couldn't help laughing.
