Chapter 31: The Stars (3)

Mother Xu answered twice and walked away from Shu Jiao as if she was running away. Chun Tao lifted the curtain and came in, almost bumped into her, and was reprimanded by Xu's mother for a rough sentence.

Looking at the back of Mother Xu's rapid departure, Chun Tao was stunned for a moment, but still frowned and exhaled.

When Shu Miao saw it, he called Chun Tao to come in, took a piece of the snack at hand for her, and said:

"I see you haven't eaten much breakfast, so eat a mat."

Chun Tao took it and said:

"Second Miss is so careful. I stewed a cup of white fungus soup on the small stove, and I also added lilies and wolfberries, and it will be good in a while, you and your grandmother will use some. ”

Shu Yao raised his arm, revealing a white lotus root, and said with a smile:

"Look at me like this, can you eat again? If you eat it again, you will be fat and round, and you won't even be able to enter the door, but what if you can't get in? ”

Chun Tao and Liu's mother covered their mouths and smiled, and Chun Tao said:

"That's what it is. You just have a little meat on your hands, and your whole body is still thin. ”

The three of them talked for a while, Chun Tao wanted to go to see the stove, Chun Xia came in and said that Yu Yao was here and sat in the outer room.

Shu Yao was a little surprised, and hurriedly went out with Liu's mother.

Yu Yao went to see Shu Ya with her first, didn't bother her much, and came out after saying a few words. I chatted with Shu Jiao about the dim sum in various places in Beijing, which embroidery house embroidered the girl in the embroidery building and made beautiful clothes, and which jewelry store was delicate and chic.

After chatting like this for a while, I took my leave when it was almost time for lunch. Shu Yao was confused, and couldn't figure out what she was here for.

Count the days, it is already the root of the year, and in a day or two it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve. Shu Yao was a little stunned, after all, in previous years, he spent the New Year with his father, and this year when he went out, there was only his sister by his side.

It's just that there always seems to be some concern in her heart, the kind of worry that seems to be there but is not, lingering in her heart, a heart seems to be filled, and it seems to be empty.

In the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day. In the evening, Mother Jia came over, saw Shu Ya, saluted and said:

"Is grandma okay? Today is thirty years old, and the lady asked the grandmother if she was in good shape, so she would go out and have a meal with everyone, and she didn't have to be polite. ”

Shu Ya was still a pure filial piety, lying on the couch with a pale face, and after listening to it, she smiled faintly and said:

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness. I'm afraid it's still a little inconvenient, so I won't bother you on such days. ”

Jia's mother didn't persuade her much, and Mrs. Jiang didn't have much sincerity to invite her out, but it was just for everyone's face to be nice and friendly, and not to let people spread the word that she didn't care about her daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law, so she turned to Shu Jiao and said:

"Then the second young lady should go over, it's more or less a meaning, don't see you outside here."

According to Shu Yao's thoughts, he didn't want to go, but as a guest at others, it was not good to be too astringent, so he agreed.

Jia's mother asked her again if she would go with her now or go by herself later.

Shu Yao didn't like this Mother Jia, of course she didn't want to go with her, so she said:

"Mom, let's go back first, I'll go over by myself later."

Mother Jia smiled:

"It's fine. It's just that there are a lot of people today, all of them are in the old lady's Gantang Courtyard, don't go too late, attract people's attention. ”

After that, he took his leave.

Looking at the time, Mother Liu pulled Shu Yao to redress her makeup, put on a double screw bun, wore two small jasmine silk flowers, and tied two plain ribbons, which lined her whole person smartly and elegantly. Shu Yao got up to look at Shu Ya, and said with a smile to Shu Ya:

"Sister use less first, and when I come back, let's have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together!"

Shu Ya responded with a smile, and sure enough, she only used a little bit when Chun Tao and the others served dinner.
