On a winter morning, the sun shines brightly, shining through the thin clouds and bringing a touch of warmth to the earth. Although the cold air is filled with the scent of morning dew, the appearance of the sun makes people feel happy.
The sunlight shone on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light. The snowflakes became more crystal clear, like tiny diamonds. Its warmth melted some of the snow, revealing a mottled color on the ground.
Under the sunshine, the world becomes bright and clear, making people feel the beauty and mystery of winter.
Xu Qianjiao and her mother were sitting on the kang, holding wool and needles, preparing to start knitting sweaters.
"Hold the needle like this, with your index finger here." Mother Xu slowed down her movements and taught Xu Qianjiao how to knit a sweater. "Wrap the thread here, then pass it through..."
Xu Qianjiao also studied very seriously. She carefully observed Xu's mother's movements and then imitated them bit by bit.
"Is that so?" Xu Qianjiao handed the sweater she had knitted to her mother.
Xu's mother leaned over and carefully observed the pattern. "That's right, keep knitting. When you're almost done, I'll show you how to finish it."
"good."
Xu Qianjiao sat on the kang and knitted a sweater. As she knitted, her thoughts became empty.
As of today, Cheng Jiawen has been away for 4 days. According to expectations, he will be back in one day. I don’t know what the situation is over there. Although I believe in him, I am still a little worried.
Now there is more than a week left before their wedding, and she is starting to feel a little nervous, but also very excited.
People in this era did not have too many requirements for getting married. For ordinary families, a banquet and a meal on the wedding day were considered a grand wedding. If the family was poorer, they would basically just share some candies, and the two would take an oath under the witness of the village chief, and then it was basically done.
They didn't prepare too much for their wedding. They just went to get their marriage certificate before the wedding and then treated everyone to a meal on the wedding day.
Xu Qianjiao was knitting a sweater while clearing her mind.
"Jiaojiao~" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Are you home? I'm here to play with you."
Xu Qianjiao ran out with a smile on her face, and saw Qin Guizhi standing at the door. She immediately ran over and grabbed her hand, "Woo, you finally came to play with me. I missed you so much. Where have you been these days?"
Yes, Xu Qianjiao had gone to the Qin family to find Qin Guizhi before, but was told that Qin Guizhi had gone to the army to find her brother, so Xu Qianjiao had not seen Qin Guizhi for several days.
"Well, I went to find my brother. My brother was injured, so I volunteered to take care of him." Qin Guizhi explained as she walked into the house, holding Xu Qianjiao's hand.
As soon as she entered the room, Qin Guizhi saw Xu's mother sitting on the kang. She greeted her generously, "Hello, auntie~"
"Hey, Guizhi is here, sit down." Mother Xu greeted Qin Guizhi with a smile, and pushed the peanuts and sunflower seeds in front of Qin Guizhi, "Come, have some peanuts and sunflower seeds."
Qin Guizhi took a few peanuts and said, "Thank you, auntie."
Mother Xu was worried that the two young people would be too reserved to see her, so she stood up with the wool in her hand and said, "You two can play here slowly. I'll go talk to your Aunt Juhua."
"good."
"Goodbye, auntie."
Xu Qianjiao went to the kitchen and poured Qin Guizhi a cup of sugar water, then took a few sweet potatoes and put them in the kang to roast. Then the two of them sat on the kang and started chatting.
"Zhizhi, I have news for you. I'm getting married~"
Qin Guizhi was drinking water and choked herself at the sudden news. She stared at Xu Qianjiao with wide eyes, "You're getting married? Are you kidding? Who are you marrying?"
Speaking of this, Xu Qianjiao couldn't help but smile happily, "Yes, I'm getting married. The wedding is in more than a week. My partner is Cheng Jiawen."
Cheng Jiawen, Qin Guizhi kept searching for this person's memory in her mind, and finally, the result was that he looked good, but was very lazy and could not work.
She frowned and looked at Xu Qianjiao, "Did you choose this person yourself, or did Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu choose it for you?"
Xu Qianjiao raised the corner of her mouth and gently comforted Qin Guizhi, "Don't worry, I chose the person myself. I like him and he likes me too. There is no such thing as parents forcing us to get married."
Qin Guizhi finally felt relieved. She patted her chest with a sigh of relief and said, "Huh, I was so scared. Just make your own choice. I thought it was Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu who forced you to do it."
"No, I chose the person myself and I was willing to marry him." Xu Qianjiao shook her head and explained.
"What's going on?" Qin Guizhi looked at Xu Qianjiao anxiously. The gossipy nature in her heart could no longer be hidden, and her gossipy thoughts were evident on her face.
Xu Qianjiao saw at a glance that she wanted to gossip, so she pretended to be deep and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly."
Qin Guizhi was so intrigued by her that she slapped her hand, threw herself on her, and began to tickle her. "Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"
"Hahaha, stop it~" Xu Qianjiao rolled over on the kang, "I'm going to say, I'm going to say..."
Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Qin Guizhi immediately stopped, sat on the kang, and listened obediently to her story.
"Here's what happened. Didn't I fall into the water before? Then Cheng Jiawen saved me, and then... that's it."
After hearing what happened, Qin Guizhi suddenly realized the truth and said, "This is a hero saving a beautiful woman. How could someone be so moved by her?"
Xu Qianjiao smiled shyly, "Hehe, you can put it this way, anyway, I just like him."
"Tsk, you look like you like him, if he wasn't good-looking, would you still say that you want to marry him because of this?" Qin Guizhi rolled her eyes, not believing that she liked Cheng Jiawen just because he saved her.
One look at this man, and it's clear that he has had his eyes on the other person for a long time, and saving him is just a good excuse.
"Hehe, don't be so direct. Don't you have any respect for me?" Xu Qianjiao looked at Qin Guizhi with a face full of grievance.
"Okay, okay, you two are the hero who saves the beauty, a perfect match, okay?" Qin Guizhi rolled her eyes, shook her head helplessly and smiled.
"Okay, let's stop talking about me. How are you?" Xu Qianjiao stared at Qin Guizhi, wanting to know if she was doing well recently.
Qin Guizhi suddenly remembered something and her face turned red. When Xu Qianjiao saw her like this, she knew that something must be wrong. She looked curious and pulled Qin Guizhi's hand, "Tell me quickly, tell me, what happened?"
Qin Guizhi was so dizzy from her shaking that she said, "Hey, hey, hey, stop shaking, stop shaking, I'm telling you."
