The room was filled with laughter.

It was dark, Xianghua lit the candles at home next to each other, and when she lit the last one, the taro suddenly popped out of nowhere, and pulled her to the dark next to her, startling Xianghua.

Xianghua glared at him: "Good and decent, why are you scary?" ”

Taro smiled and said: "It's me who is wrong." It's just that if you look closely at the light just now, you seem to have embroidered in the wrong place. ”

Xianghua didn't believe it: "What's wrong?" You show me. ”

The taro curled the corners of his mouth: "You said that the fur of the brocade rat is white, and the eyes should always be black, right?" But why is it that at both ends, one has a black eye and the other has a red eye? ”

Xianghua looked away and said, "There are no black lines after embroidery...... Just, I used the red one. ”

Taro saw through her careful thoughts, her heart was full of sweetness, and she couldn't wait to take her elsewhere, so she had to ask for clarification now.

"I look at this embroidery, it is clear that one is a brocade mouse and the other is a jade rabbit."

He is a rat, and Xianghua is a rabbit.

Xianghua ignored him and turned around to leave, but was stopped by taro.

Taro's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling: "If you don't speak, I'll just admit it." ”

Xianghua nudged him and feigned anger: "You can believe whatever you like." ”

After saying that, he walked quickly.

Taro took out the belt and looked at it for a while before putting it back in his arms.

Xianghua went to Taiping Town to buy some things, and sorted out seven portions of dried fruits and other things harvested by her family.

The first one was the largest, with ten pieces of cloth, two boxes of dried fruits, a box of candy, a number of vegetables and fruits, a few strings of bacon and sausages, a basket of preserved eggs, and two sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone specially given to vanilla and Donglin, which were given to Cheng Zhengde and Cheng Zhang.

The other two are almost the same, without cloth and candy, most of them are dried fruits picked by Xianghua on the mountain, dried fruits, etc., each with three boxes, and two baskets of preserved eggs, duck eggs below, quail eggs on top, two pieces at the bottom of the pepper pot, and a number of fresh fruits are also prepared. This is for Qian Xiaoman and Wei Ping.

When Taro heard that it was going to be given to Weiping, he was very unhappy.

Xianghua said: "If a person like him condescends to come here, he should give it away in a reasonable way, not to mention that someone gave a thousand taels." We have a lot of these things, and it's not bad. ”

Taro said: "In the future, return the 1,000 taels to him." ”

Xianghua said: "The thousand taels have become a dam, where are you going to pay him back?" Besides, there are contacts and contacts, and it is more convenient to investigate, just to put a long line to catch big fish? ”

Taro stopped talking.

Xianghua stuffed a piece of cloth into his arms and said with a smile: "I still have to prepare it for Mr. Yan, Uncle Chenggang and Granny Yuan's family, don't make trouble." ”

Yan Gou and Yun Niang have no land, and the fruits and vegetables they eat in Qingshan Village have to rely on the help of their families, Xianghua thought that they were serious in teaching this year, put more food and clothing, and gave a lot of money.

Chenggang made friends with their family, and Xianghua prepared another New Year's gift. Granny Yuan and Xiao Deng'er are old and young, and their lives have always been difficult, and Xianghua's family is always helping.

"I don't know when General Zhao Xiao will come back...... Xianghua muttered, "Let's keep a copy for him too." ”

Since that hurried meeting, there has been no news of Zhao Xu for more than half a year, only heard that the Xiongnu were beaten away, but what happened to Xianghua is unknown.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Cheng Linchang and Xianghua and others carried large bags and small bags to Cheng Lin Sheng's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Cheng Zhengde asked Cheng Linchang to talk about buying land, Xianghua and Xiangmiao helped Vanilla with chores, and Taro, Donglin, and Dongshan talked together.

Xiangmiao asked: "Sister Cao'er, just our two families eat, how do you cook so many dishes?" ”

Vanilla smiled: "My grandmother's family is coming over today, and there will be more people later." ”

Xiangmiao suddenly sighed, and said unhappily: "How did they think of it this year?" ”

Xianghua didn't have much impression of Cheng Sun's maiden family, but she also reminded Xiangmiao to pay attention to her words, and then slowly inquired about the situation over there.

Vanilla said: "In the first two years, we went to pay New Year's greetings, and this year I don't know why, I suddenly said that I wanted to come to visit the New Year, and my mother didn't know why." ”

Xianghua asked, "I remember that I seem to live quite far away?" ”

Vanilla nodded: "If you come for lunch, you won't have time to leave just after dawn." ”

Vanilla brought the washed vegetables in, and Xianghua hurriedly whispered to Xiangmiao: "Is there any powerful person in Sister Cao'er's grandmother's family?" ”

Xiangmiao pursed her lips and said, "Sister, why can't you compare your memory to me?" Who is in their family, you can see your aunt and uncle. That grandma is annoying! ”

Xianghua snorted: "No matter how annoying she is, she also annoys the people of their family, is it possible that she still has to point fingers at our family?" ”

Xiangmiao said with a sad face: "Hey, you'll know when she comes later!" ”

Xianghua didn't care much about this grandma, it was rare that Cheng Sun didn't trouble her today, and she happily talked to Vanilla for a long time.

At noon, Cheng Sun sent Cheng Linsheng to pick up people at the entrance of the village, but Cheng Linsheng was unwilling and let Dongshan and Donglin go.

Dongshan pouted, "I'm not going." Grandma loves to nag very much, and her ears are about to grind out calluses when she speaks. ”

Cheng Lin said angrily: "The wings haven't grown hard yet, so dare to fight back?" Go now! ”

Cheng Sun also said: "Who do you say Dongshan?" That's your own grandma, if she doesn't care about you, she won't bother to talk about you! Go right away, if you make grandma unhappy, come back carefully, I'll beat you! ”

Dongshan cried and said with a sad face: "I'll burn the fire, and my sister will pick up grandma." ”

Vanilla said, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

Fragrant flowers and vanilla walked out of the village together.

Xianghua cried and laughed: "Why is this grandmother the same as a hot potato, no one dares to take it?" ”

Vanilla said: "Grandma is anxious, and she is not forgiving on her lips, and a small thing can be repeated over and over for a day." Dongshan accidentally dropped a bowl in her house last time, and he was told for a day, and after that, he didn't want to get close to his grandmother. ”

Xianghuaxin said that it is reasonable for others to be afraid of such a temperament. This time they came uninvited, but hopefully they didn't come to find fault.

Just thinking about it, Vanilla said "here", so she walked forward quickly and greeted affectionately: "Grandma, uncle, aunt, Jindou, you are here!" ”

Xianghua followed behind Vanilla and whispered hello.

Grandpa vanilla's surname is Sun, her grandma Sun Zhou is about sixty or seventy years old, with a slender face and a black face, and the corners of her mouth are always drooping down when she doesn't speak, and she feels that she is not easy to get along with.

Seeing that it was vanilla, Sun Zhou asked unhappily, "Where is your father?" ”

Vanilla said, "My mother is busy cooking, and my father is also busy." ”

Sun Zhou muttered, and then walked forward, asking questions as he went.

"Vanilla, how old are you?"

Vanilla meekly replied, "It's thirteen this year." ”
