Chapter 212 First time I saw my aunt Bai Qiushuang
Chixi and Xi Dazhuang didn't stay in Fu's house for long, Chixi ate the horseshoe cake that he missed, the taste was indeed very good, soft and delicious, full of fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and made people have a great appetite.
Then he had another lunch, and seeing that the hour was not early, Xi Dazhuang stood up and resigned.
The Fu family was reluctant.
Fu Zhongzhong looked stunned: "It's not easy to come here, and let's stay for two days before leaving!" ”
"Uncle Fu, we've been out for a month, and my mother is the only one in charge of the house, so we can't rest assured, we have to rush back to see how she is."
Chi Xi smiled gently: "Since we know that your home is here, we will have many opportunities to sail by in the future, and we will come to disturb us when the time comes, so we are not in a hurry." ”
Xi Dazhuang and Chixi insisted on leaving, and the Fu family was not forced to stay.
Feng Xi'er, the daughter-in-law of Fu Zu, brought out a basket of horseshoe cakes when Chixi was about to leave, handed them to Chixi with a red face, and said shyly: "Madam, there are no good things at home, since you like to eat horseshoe cakes, take some with you!" The recipe for the water chestnut cake is also inside, so you can also make your own food when it is inconvenient to come over in the future. ”
Horseshoe cake is one of the sources of income for the Fu family, although this recipe cannot be said to be the foundation of their family, but it is not easy to give away.
After Chi Xi thanked him, he lifted the basket, took out the recipe inside and returned it to Feng Xi'er, and said with a smile: "I won't accept the horseshoe cake politely with you, you better stay the recipe!" This thing has to be eaten from time to time to feel delicious, and if you eat too much, you will get tired. Besides, my skill in making water chestnut cakes is not as good as Aunt Fu's, and I will come back in the future. ”
Feng Xi'er stopped talking, turned her head to look at her husband, and said with a smile: "Okay, since Madame has said so, you should respond!" ”
He smiled and said to Chi Xi: "When Mrs. comes to the house in the future, there may be nothing else, but the horseshoe cake is enough!" ”
"Thank you."
Chixi smiled and thanked him.
They walked on the water for two full days before returning to Dahe Village.
Tian Cuihe immediately laughed when he saw them: "Your aunt sent a message back three days ago, saying that you have already set off and come back, why did it take so many days to arrive?" But what happened on the way? ”
"No, it's just that the boat was a little slower when we came back."
Xi Dazhuang knew that Chixi had never left Changjiang County before, and this was the first time he went to Huanzhou.
Passing by any county town along the way, Xi Dazhuang took Chixi to have a fun look, appreciate the customs of various places, and taste the food of each place.
Chixi liked it very much, and had a great time along the way.
"It's okay."
Tian Cuihe hurriedly beckoned them into the house: "Your aunt has been waiting for you for several days, and since she is back, she will hurry up to visit her old man." ”
"Okay."
Xi Dazhuang's aunt is in her fifties and close to sixty years old this year, and her hair has turned gray.
But because he followed Zhang Chunman to do business in the north and south when he was young, he has the demeanor of the family in his bones, and he also has the fierce momentum of strategizing.
But when he saw Xi Dazhuang and Chixi walking into the house with the child in their arms, they couldn't help but redden, and hurriedly got up and staggered to meet them: "Ah Duo Xiaoxi, you are finally back, and the old body has finally seen you little couple." ”
She came to Dahe Village three days after Xi Dazhuang and his party left, and she was full of joy looking forward to meeting them, and she even prepared the meeting gifts for Chixi and An An in advance.
However, when he came to Dahe Village, he was told that Xi Dazhuang and Chixi were taken away by the bad old man.
She immediately wrote a letter to scold the bad old man severely, and then stayed in Dahe Village to be with Tian Cuihe as a companion, looking forward to the return of Xi Dazhuang and his wife with their children.
"Auntie, it's me who is not good and has kept you waiting."
Xi Dazhuang hurriedly stepped forward to help his aunt sit down, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Knowing that my aunt was waiting at home, I should have returned home early, but I didn't do well, and I asked my aunt to punish me." ”
"Okay, okay, you young people have a lot of things, I'm not old and confused, I can't blame you little two. If you want to blame, you can only blame the bad old man, you know how to toss blindly. ”
Tian Cuihe's aunt Bai Qiushuang couldn't help but snort coldly in disgust: "I know what the old man's virtue is. It's only been a month, and I can afford to wait, old woman. ”
She raised her eyes to look at Chi Xi, who took a step forward and curtsied with An An in her arms: "Chi Xi took An An to see her aunt." ”
"Hey, good boy, please get up!"
Bai Qiushuang saw Chixi's delicate and weak beauty, but she was humble and polite, and liked it from the bottom of her heart.
She has been in Dahe Village for nearly a month, and she has heard all about Chixi.
The people of Dahe Village were full of praise for Chixi, which also made her appreciate it very much, and immediately took out two large boxes from their wide sleeves and handed them to Chixi.
"Come, Xiaoxi, take it quickly, this is my old woman's gift to you and An An."
Bai Qiushuang smiled heartily.
Chi Xi felt Bai Qiushuang's refreshment, and knew that this person didn't like to drag, so he was not hypocritical, and accepted the thing with a smile: "Thank you, auntie." ”
"Hey, you don't have to be polite."
Bai Qiushuang likes cheerful people, like some of her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, she pushes back when she gives something, she obviously wants it very much but pretends to resist indifferently, and she is angry when she sees people, and she likes it from the bottom of her heart when she takes it over like Chixi.
"My aunt gave me such a valuable meeting gift with An An, and the younger generation also prepared some light gifts for my aunt, I hope my aunt likes it."
Chixi gave Xi Dazhuang a look, and Xi Dazhuang immediately returned to the carriage to carry things down.
Stuff a lot.
There are meeting gifts for Bai Qiushuang, small gifts for Tian Cuihe, and some bits and pieces of small things that are ready to be given to the women who have worked in the Xi family for a long time.
It can be said that Chikei is very thoughtful.
The gift she prepared for Bai Qiushuang was naturally not as valuable as Bai Qiushuang gave her and An An, but it was important to her heart.
Bai Qiushuang has been rich and noble all her life, and she has seen a lot of good things, Chixi knows that she pays more attention to her intentions, so she made a group fan with full sincerity.
The fan surface is made of fine silk and embroidered with lifelike red plum blossoms and a little white snow.
She also heard by chance that Bai Qiushuang likes plum blossoms and fans, so she specially prepared it.
Not only that, but she also asked someone to make a set of exquisite costumes and face for Bai Qiushuang.
Bai Qiushuang has loved beauty all her life, always tidying herself up, even at home, she will comb her hair accessories and dress meticulously.
and Zhang Chunman, who is free and easy, are two completely different types of people, but they are two completely different people who have been together for a lifetime.
After Bai Qiushuang got Chixi's meeting gift, she was pleasantly surprised: "Xiaoxi, you really have a heart, you accurately grasp my preferences, I like these things very much." ”
"If my aunt likes it, it's fine."
Chi Xi smiled with a crooked eyebrow.
