"Crackling—"

"Crackling—"

Say goodbye to the old year in the sound of firecrackers, and win the new year with joy.

The morning sun drilled out of the hill and the corner of the house, and slowly climbed into the sky, and the sky gradually illuminated every part of the capital of Chen Guo, waking up the sleeping people.

It was dawn, and outside the house, the sound of firecrackers was heard.

Timid children cover their ears and stay far away, while children with a more skinny temperament are eager to try and wait for the firecrackers to explode into red, and then go to the ground to pick up the firecrackers that have not exploded.

Adults began to visit each other, talk about the bitterness and hardships of this year, and also said that the good things of this year are mostly smiling, after all, this is the New Year.

The sound of children frolicking and adults scolding also came and went, a festive New Year's atmosphere.

Zhen Pu woke up from his sleep and listened to the sounds outside the house, in a trance.

For a moment he thought that he was still the son of the Rongguo Mansion, but the hard bang, the wooden bed that creaked when he turned over, and the coarse cloth clothes on his body told him that he was now just a poor man under the fence.

Zhen Pu's lazy sleepiness woke up in an instant.

He got up, found his cloth shoes under the bed, put them on, and pushed the door open.

At this point, it was almost hour.

In the hall, the jade hairpin girl was holding a bowl of freshly cooked, steaming noodles, and carefully walked towards the dining table in the hall.

The bowl was too full, and it would spill out just a puff of water.

Zhen Pu's opening seemed to startle her, her hand slanted slightly, and the hot soup in the bowl spilled out and burned on her hand.

Miss Jade Hairpin "Ah-" screamed and snorted.

But instead of letting go of the bowl of hot noodle soup, she ran a few quick steps and hurriedly delivered the bowl of hot noodle soup to the table.

Only when the bowl of hot noodle soup had landed safely on the ground did she look at the back of her hand, which had been burned red.

The jade hairpin girl's hands were as white as mutton fat and white jade, but at this moment, they were red, itchy and painful.

However, when she saw Zhen Pu coming out of the room, she couldn't care about the back of her hot hand.

She turned around and smiled softly again: "Zhen Gongzi is early! I cooked noodles for you, you can eat it after washing up in a while!"

Zhen Pu saw the scene that happened just now, and did not turn around to go outside the house to wash, but pointed to the back of her red hand with some concern, and said, "Just now, it was hot!"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's always the case, I'll just rub some ointment in a while, it's okay. ”

The jade hairpin girl hid her hand behind her, a little embarrassed, and seemed unwilling to let Zhen Pu see the back of her injured hand.

"You don't have to fill it that full. Zhen Pu said.

After experiencing the unforgettable tragedy, Zhen Pu is like a little beast that has been scared out of his heart, and his personality is no longer flamboyant and perverse, but as he is now, peaceful and quiet!

He suddenly became less talkative, and he suddenly became very considerate of others.

"You are a man, and you men eat more than us women, and I am afraid that you will be hungry later, so you will serve more. Miss Jade said.

"Then next time, let me serve it myself!" Zhen Pu said.

"Well, good!"

The jade hairpin girl nodded, her eyes smiling, still gentle.

......

Soon, Zhen Pu went outside the house to wash up and sat back at the dinner table.

The jade hairpin girl also went to get the medicine box at home, and smeared the affected area with scalding cream, and finally felt better.

At the dinner table, the jade hairpin girl sat aside, looking at Zhen Pu, who was holding a bowl and eating noodles, smiling skillfully, but not saying a word.

Zhen Pu was eating noodles silently, staring at her like this, it seemed very unnatural, and she ate very carefully, and did not make a refreshing "sloppy" sound.

In order to break the embarrassment, Zhen Pu was a little speechless and said, "Miss Yuchai, are your hands better?"

"Hmm. ”

The jade hairpin girl still stared at him intently, and said, "I rubbed the ointment, it's much better." ”

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhen Pu responded, but he couldn't find a topic to continue talking about.

So, I can only bury my head in eating noodles.

Fortunately, at this time, a knock on the door outside the house broke the embarrassment.

Miss Yuchai heard a knock on the door, "oops", hurriedly got up, and went outside the courtyard to open the door!

"It's coming!"

She agreed.

The door opened.

Because the hall is facing the courtyard gate, Zhen Pu can see the people outside the door, and the people outside the door can also see Zhen Pu eating noodles in the hall.

Outside the door, there was an aunt who was a little fat, but looked very kind and warm.

She was carrying a basket of things, and it looked like she had come to the door.

"Hairpin girl, I brought you the eggs you asked me to bring!"

The fat aunt smiled and handed the basket of eggs to the jade hairpin girl.

Miss Yuchai took the basket, very happy, and seemed to have been looking forward to it for a long time.

But the fat aunt saw something unusual in the house.

When she saw a strange man sitting in the room, she immediately took the hand of the jade hairpin girl and said, "Hairpin girl, who are you in that room?"

The jade hairpin girl blushed a little when the fat aunt said this, and turned her head to look at Zhen Pu.

She saw him sitting there, eating the noodles she cooked, and didn't pay much attention to this side, so she said to the fat aunt: "He is my father-in-law who does business in the south, and he just returned home last night." ”

After speaking, she smiled a little weakly, but she didn't look back at Zhen Pu's reaction.

The fat aunt listened to Miss Yuchai's words, patted her hands intimately, and was happy for her.

She said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, it's been almost three years, really, how can there be such a ruthless husband, it's been three years since he left, and I'm not afraid of anything happening at home!"

After speaking, she also glared at Zhen Pu, who was eating noodles in the hall, as if she was holding grievances for the jade hairpin girl.

After a few years of neighborhood, this fat aunt seems to regard the jade hairpin girl as her own daughter.

Zhen Pu listened to Miss Yuchai's words, and was glared at fiercely by the fat aunt, and couldn't help coughing, and the noodles in her mouth almost squirted out.

The fat aunt was very satisfied with Zhen Pu's reaction.

She patted the back of the jade hairpin girl's hand intimately, but found that her hand was a little red and greasy, and the smell was the smell of burn cream.

She groaned and said, "What's going on?"

Miss Yuchai said: "I accidentally burned it just now!"

The fat aunt nodded knowingly and said, "Then you have to be careful in the future." ”

"Well, I will. Miss Jade agreed.

"Also, since he is back, then in the future, the heavy work of chopping wood and carrying water at home will not be done by himself, and it will all be handed over to him, do you hear?"

The fat aunt was still chattering, which made the jade hairpin girl a little helpless.

"Also, you are not too young, you have to hurry up, have a child, have a child, in order to tie up a man's heart, he is doing business outside, without your control, maybe he will be hooked by some fox?"

“......”

“......”

"Aunt Wu, go slowly!"

After a round of chatter and nagging, Miss Yuchai finally sent the fat aunt away.

The moment the door was closed, this beautiful and intelligent woman couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

......

The jade hairpin girl carried the basket back to the hall and saw Zhen Pu, who had finished eating noodles and was staring at her with a strange face.

She suddenly understood that he was a little uncomfortable with the title of "Xianggong".

Miss Yuchai smiled apologetically and said, "Young Master Zhen, I, a woman who was redeemed by you from Yuwuyuan and 'Jinwu Zangjiao', must be a little panicked in order to live here, otherwise, there will be too many rumors." ”

At that time, she did have some difficulties, and she was always asked about her background, so she panicked, saying that the man in her family was doing business in the south and would not be able to return for a while.

And so on, three years.

"I didn't mean that!"

Zhen Pu shook his head, indicating that he was not dissatisfied.

Not only did he have no resentment, but he also felt guilty.

The once annoying, unsightly, arrogant and domineering Zhen Pu Gongzi, looking at the wrong things he had done, felt a little self-reproachful.

"I'm sorry!" he said.

I don't know if he's apologizing for his late arrival or if he's apologizing for what he's done in the past.

"It's fine. ”

The jade hairpin girl smiled and gave him the gentlest smile.

Zhen Pu couldn't stand such a smile, he felt that he didn't deserve it.

He silently walked out of the hall, took an axe from outside the courtyard, and chopped wood for the jade hairpin girl.

"Smack!"

A round piece of wood was divided into two pieces by Zhen Pu with an axe.

The jade hairpin girl looked at Zhen Pu who was burying her head in chopping wood outside the courtyard, but she was a little flustered.

Today, she was supposed to teach him how to be considerate of his wife and let him take over the heavy work of carrying water and chopping wood.

However, before she could make a move, he went to chop wood himself, and did not need her to teach him at all.

The jade hairpin girl looked at Zhen Pu outside the house in a daze, wielding an axe to chop wood, and laughed again.

This time, it's a real smile from the heart.
