The man was handsome, from a good family, and generous to her; she was very satisfied.<...
Open the door.
Then he saw Ying Sisi mopping the floor on the balcony, and he casually put the copper coins on the cabinet at the entrance.
With a click.
Ying Sisi looked up and said, "You're back! Where did you get so many copper coins?"
"The uncle downstairs asked for you to come over for dinner tomorrow. How did he find you?"
After Ying Sisi approached, she recounted what had happened while looking through the coins.
Qin Yanci smiled and said, "You are a little too easy to talk to."
"Auntie, this is valuable."
Qin Yanci glanced around and saw symbols drawn on both sides of the copper coin, which should be in Manchu. Was there anything like this among the ones she sold last time?
Ying Sisi tore off the copper coin and said, "I'll keep this." She would sell it when she needed money urgently. She took it back to her room, put it on the table, and returned to the living room.
Qin Yanci continued what he hadn't finished: "Regarding the driver's license, my father said he just registered your name and we need to wait for the unified notification from above."
Ying Sisi was very excited: "Our dad is so nice."
Qin Yanci added, "As for your betrothal gift, my father said there's no rush and he has his own plans."
Ying Sisi's worries were finally settled. She was in a very good mood and ate one more bowl of dinner than usual.
After dinner.
Qin Yanci was responsible for clearing the dishes and cleaning the table.
Ying Sisi found a thin hemp rope and strung the copper coins together again, making a knot and hanging it behind the door instead of the original copper coins.
Just put it in place.
There was a knock on the door.
Open the door and take a look.
It was the daughter-in-law of the old man downstairs. Her surname was Dai and she looked to be in her thirties. She was holding a half-grown fish in her hand. "My dad said he came to your place for a meal and you cooked fish for him and made sure he was full. This is a gift for you."
"No need, big sister. I'll treat you to a meal."
"That's impossible." Sister Dai went straight into the house and put the fish in the kitchen sink. "It's right here."
Ying Sisi: "You are too polite."
"I don't like to take advantage of others." Sister Dai glanced at the copper coins on the cabinet in the entrance hall. "Is this the one my father gave you? To be honest, it was left by my mother-in-law when she was alive. It was pinned on the back of children's clothes to ward off evil spirits. Alas, the old lady didn't understand and just took it and gave it away."
Ying Sisi heard that the other party was about to go back, so she immediately took it off and handed it to him: "This is it, I just re-threaded it, sorry."
"It looks so good! You have such a skillful hand. I'll hang it behind the door tomorrow to protect the house."
Qin Yanci: "Didn't you leave it for children to pin on the back of their clothes to ward off evil spirits?"
Sister Dai's face flushed immediately: "If you two step back, it won't affect the process. I won't bother you anymore."
"Goodbye." Ying Sisi saw the other person out.
After closing the door, I remembered the one on the bedroom table and quickly took it and chased after it: "There is another one here. I think the words are different from the others. Take it down and play with it."
"Oh, sorry to bother you."
"You're welcome." Ying Sisi turned around and went home.
Qin Yanci said, "This woman is really troublesome. It's a pity that you spent half a day on it."
Ying Sisi smiled indifferently: "It's okay, it originally belonged to their family. But next time, I won't accept gifts from others. My hands are red from the thorns. When they were rough, I dared to break thorny branches with my bare hands, but now I don't even dare to touch them."
"You have a good ability to recover. Most girls have calloused skin and it's hard to keep it thin because it's constantly exposed to water." Qin Yanci paused and continued, "I wish our children in the future had your ability to recover."
