Chapter 309: Return Gift

Who lives next door, Liu Shiqi doesn't know.

Hearing that he had no opinion, he picked the remaining persimmons on the persimmon tree one by one, and made sure that there were no left, so he picked out a part of the persimmons and planned to give them away, and some of them were saved.

After that, he took a lot of New Year's goods that Jiang Qingzhou bought, and put them all in a bamboo basket.

After all this work, the sky was completely dark.

Some people who had an early meal on Chinese New Year's Eve had already lit firecrackers.

In the whole capital, there is a strong smell of the New Year.

Jiang Qingzhou went out of the house and walked in front with an umbrella to block the snow, while Liu Shiqi followed him, holding a heavy bamboo basket.

He wore a mask to cover half of his face, Jiang Qingzhou asked him curiously why he was like this at first, and the answer he got was that he felt that his face was too handsome, and he was afraid of provoking some right and wrong.

He didn't know how to answer, so he simply stopped asking.

When he arrived at the place, Liu Shiqi put down the heavy bamboo basket in his hand and went to knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one answered, and it was estimated that he had already gone out.

The stuff is so heavy that you can't hold it over, and then carry it back the same way.

On this kind of day, most people don't spend the night outside, Liu Shiqi thought about it for a while, and suggested that he should put things at the door first and leave a note.

"It's okay, Hengzhu is now in this cold season, and no one will come out to hang out."

But for the sake of insurance, Jiang Qingzhou still said that he would come over and ask after dinner.

After all, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case it is really unfortunate to let some beggars who are still wandering around outside at this time take things away, causing the new neighbors to not receive the gifts, then it will be troublesome.

Liu Shiqi didn't have any opinions, so he came over to consume food when the time came, and helped Jiang Qingzhou back home.

Ning Xiang and his entourage came back from eating dumplings in Ning Zhou's mansion, and Pei Zhuoan suddenly received news that he had something important to go back to the East Palace to deal with, but he didn't come back.

The rest is up to Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing drank a lot of fruit wine made by Gu Ying tonight, saying that this drink tasted very good.

But I never thought that if I drank too much fruit wine, it would also be intoxicating.

By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, Cheng Jing was already drunk and unconscious, and when he came back, he was still returned by a treasure hunting mousel.

After the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, she asked the treasure hunt mouse to take Cheng Jing first, and she followed closely behind, helping the handle or something.

After paying for the car, Ning Xiang took out the key and was about to open the door, but she caught a glimpse of a somewhat abrupt bamboo basket.

Twist your eyebrows and open the lid of the bamboo basket and look inside, there are not only some New Year's goods inside, but also many familiar ones. Red persimmons?

This made her subconsciously go down the steps and look at the persimmon tree of the neighbor next door.

Although it was already dark, there were still red lanterns fixed on the edge of the wall for lighting, and with the help of the dim light, the branches of the trees that had fallen many tomatoes had become bare.

Seeing this, Ning Xiang was basically sure that this persimmon was sent by a neighbor.

She thought it was because the treasure hunting rats used to steal other people's persimmons, causing the neighbors to think that they had to steal food so hard that they had to steal food, so she gave them some and brought some New Year's goods.

After sighing, he glared at the treasure hunt mouse, and under the inexplicable bewildered expression of the treasure hunt mouse, he asked it to hurry into the house and prepare to go out with her again later.

Cheng Jing slept too deeply, and it was impossible to take a bath, so Ning Xiang simply used a cleansing on him and helped him cover the quilt.

"Stinky woman, where are you going at night?" The treasure hunter rat yawned widely, looking sleepy.

Ning Xiang was infected by it, and after yawning uncontrollably, she told the treasure hunt rat what she had seen in the bamboo basket at the door and the guesses she had.

"Speaking of which, everything is your fault, so you have to explain it to others, and thank you by the way!"

The New Year's goods and persimmons in the bamboo basket are not too rare items, and they are neighbors.

If you send things back the way they came, it would be too cold.

So she was going to take it, but she had to give some gifts in return.

After thinking about it, she asked the treasure hunt mouse to wait first, and she went into the house to find out what she could do in return.

During the Chinese New Year, there is not much else at home, so I eat more.

But she just looked at the New Year's goods in the bamboo basket, and the quality is not bad, and people must not lack this.

"That's the case. What should I give?" Ning Xiang muttered, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a batch of handicrafts that she had made in batches before, but had not yet had time to send them out.

After thinking about it, she took a few out, and decorated them with wooden boxes and silk fabrics, and then she went out with her things, and asked the treasure hunt mouse to get the lantern for lighting.

It's four o'clock now, and it's getting late.

Ning Xiang thought, otherwise, she did the same as her neighbor before, if the person was not there, she would also put it at the door.

When she arrived, she let out a sigh of white air, stretched out her frozen, somewhat reddened hand and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there? I'm a neighbor who lives next door, and I'm here to give gifts back. ”

"Buckle."

After speaking, Ning Xiang knocked on the door twice more and waited for a while.

Seeing that no one responded for a long time, she thought that the other party might be asleep, so she learned from Jiang Qingzhou's appearance before, left a note, pressed it under the wooden box, and led the treasure hunting mouse back.

Unbeknownst to her, not long after she had gone away, the wooden door creaked open.

Then he poked out the head of a thief and looked outside.

After making sure that there was no one, he looked at the wooden box and note placed in front of the threshold, picked it up and looked at it.

What is written on it is nothing more than a thank you gift and the like, the wooden box is opened, and there are a lot of exquisite handicrafts lying inside, which can be seen that it should be handmade.

"Tsk, let me really guess correctly, I said, how did the shadow stone happen to be related to Ning Xiang, there are mouse hairs under the persimmon tree, it's really them."

After that, Liu Shiqi entered the house with the box and note, planning to take a hot shower first and then see what to do with these things.

There was a room between the bath room and the main house, which caused him to go to the bathing room and not hear the movement in the next room.

Jiang Qingzhou remembered some things and forgot to explain to Liu Shiqi, and called him twice when he arrived at the place, but he didn't hear him respond, guessing that he should have gone to bathe.

I was going to leave a note in the old way.

When I entered the house, I wanted to find paper, pen and ink, but my eyes were attracted by a wooden box with a paper note pressed.

He walked closer curiously, looked at the note, and realized that it was a return gift from the next-door neighbor.

He opened the lid of the wooden box to see what was inside.

The lid opened, and the handicrafts that broke into his eyes were dazzling to look at.

He picked one up and rubbed it with his hand, and some strange and familiar memories came to his mind.

Liu Shiqi: The whole thing is speechless!!
