A group of people had a lively dinner.

After dinner, Jiang Zhixia and Chu Tiankuo moved to the square chair on the other side to drink tea, eat snacks, and eat melon seeds.

Aunt Zhang and Xiao Man were busy cleaning up the table.

By the time everything is packed, it's not too early.

Jiang Zhixia let their family go to the East Wing to keep the New Year.

They also specially instructed them to add charcoal basins to their houses, and prepare tea, snacks and melon seeds to eat.

"When it's time to make dumplings, I'm going to check it. If you don't listen to me, then the big red envelope of tomorrow's New Year's greeting in the morning will be gone. Jiang Zhixia gave them a red envelope for the New Year, and said pretending to be fierce.

Uncle He and the other three couldn't help but laugh. While giving a salute and thanking him, he should be good.

Chu Tiankuo, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Jiang Zhixia who was smiling and smiling, and his expression became softer and softer.

Chu Tiankuo also gave Uncle He's family a New Year's red envelope for each of them.

After sending Uncle He's family away, Jiang Zhixia sat back on the chair, and Chu Tiankuo handed her a purse.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhixia asked curiously while opening the purse.

"This is my New Year's Eve for you." Chu Tiankuo said softly.

Jiang Zhixia opened it and saw that it was a fine jade jade pendant, and hurriedly refused: "This is too valuable." I can't take it. ”

"As the master, you gave the subordinates a new year, and I, as the eldest brother who is older than you, will give you a new year. You can't do it. Chu Tiankuo said strongly, and then motioned for her to accept it.

Jiang Zhixia pushed a few times, looked at Chu Tiankuo's more cold face, and felt that it was not good to refuse again, so he thanked and accepted it, thinking that he would return the gift in the future.

After harvesting, she said a little lazily: "It's really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to thrift." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Tiankuo, who heard this for the first time, asked with some curiosity.

"That's what it means literally. It is quick to adapt to a life from thrift to wealth, and it is difficult to adapt from a rich life to a frugal life. Jiang Zhixia suddenly thought that there was no such sentence yet.

She looked at Chu Tiankuo's somewhat curious look, and explained a little weakly, "When I was in the palace back then, I had to do a lot of work every day from morning to night, and I was used to such days, but I didn't feel so tired. However, it has only been more than half a year since I was out of the palace, and after more than four months of being served, I am a little tired after doing a little more today. ”

Chu Tiankuo tasted this sentence and said, "What you said is really very reasonable. Isn't that what people are? ”

"Ah, that's not what I said, I read it from a book. It was the words of a wise man. Jiang Zhixia hurriedly explained.

It's not my own thing, and I feel weak when I use it occasionally.

It's not your own words, but you can't say it as your own. In case, if it becomes a wise saying like in the previous life, this reputation will be too big.

"What kind of book is it? Why don't I go find it? I feel that the person who can say this must have a lot of truth in his other words. "Chu Tiankuo is to chat with Jiang Zhixia more, and he really thinks that this person's words are very reasonable, I don't know if his other words are also very reasonable?

Jiang Zhixia became even more empty-hearted, which was said by Sima Guang, a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, in the historical masterpiece "Zizhi Tongjian".

I don't know how many turns have been made in the current history, where did she go to find "Zizhi Tongjian"?

"A long time ago, my dad collected a book. I don't know where to go now. Jiang Zhixia hurriedly ended the topic.

When Chu Tiankuo chatted with Zhixia before, he also knew that Zhixia's father was a showman.

If it was a book collected by Daddy Zhixia, it was at least more than ten years ago, and it was really hard to find.

Chu Tiankuo felt quite a pity.

However, there were already a lot of things that Zhixia had said to him today, and Chu Tiankuo was already very happy.

What's even more rare is that there is still so much time to be alone today.

There is no Chu Mufeng, there is no Uncle He's family, just the two of them. Even if he stayed so quietly, he felt very good, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Jiang Zhixia was afraid that Chu Tiankuo would bring up the topic just now again, so he hurriedly found another topic to talk about.

"Brother Chu has finished the twenty-fifth year of the New Year, right? Why haven't you gotten married yet? I also said before that the family affair, the woman went? "Most of the older singles I have met recently, whether they are men or women, seem to have decided to be married, and one of them has passed away before they get married.

However, she can also understand, after all, the medical development of this society is completely incomparable with the previous life.

In my previous life, I had never heard that because people fell into the water in winter, they couldn't have children directly.

You don't see, there are also many female swimmers in the winter. Once in a while, if you fall into the water, you won't be able to have a child.

However, after asking Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Zhixia felt that he was a little too gossipy, and he became the kind of person he hated the most in his previous life.

wanted to take back the topic, but he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly apologized: "Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I took the liberty of it." You don't have to answer. ”

Hey, it's all because when she returned to her hometown during the New Year, she would meet all kinds of relatives and ask, why haven't she found a partner yet? It's all so big, when are you looking for it? If you find it, you have to get married and have children quickly, otherwise you will become an elderly mother.

I was often asked and asked by others, and I actually learned it.

However, Chu Tiankuo didn't feel that Jiang Zhixia had offended him at all, he only felt that Zhixia had actually begun to take the initiative to understand his situation, and there was a hint of secret joy in his heart.

You must know that before, Zhixia never took the initiative to ask him about things, and basically talked about it when he was chatting by himself.

"No presumption. I haven't been married before. I was adopted by my father and mother when I was a child, and after my mother died, I lived with my father in the barracks. My father is a rough man, and because he is an adoptive father, he has never given me these things, only saying that everything is up to me. Before I came to the capital, I had been fighting in the border city. Later, it was also busy with various things, so it was delayed until now. ”

What Chu Tiankuo didn't say was that although his adoptive father had never given him Zhang Luo, with his talent, someone still asked someone to go to his house to propose marriage.

However, Chu Tiankuo is always very busy, thinking about getting ahead in the army as soon as possible, and thinking about being able to shelter his relatives, so although he didn't mean it, he really unintentionally wasted until now.

"Then Brother Chu should also talk about family affairs next year." It was the first time Jiang Zhixia had heard that Chu Tiankuo had been adopted.

However, Chu Tiankuo's adoptive father was very good to him.

In this era of the words of the matchmaker of the parents, Chu Tiankuo was given absolute freedom to marry.

However, Zhixia didn't want to continue this topic, so he refilled Chu Tiankuo with a cup of hot tea.

Look at the missing moment, it's almost time. Zhixia also heard the people in the east wing go to the kitchen.

"I went to the kitchen to make dumplings. Brother Chu is resting here. Jiang Zhixia stood up and said.

"I'll come with you." Chu Tiankuo got up with him.

Jiang Zhixia knew that it was useless to stop it, so he went to the kitchen together.
