Seeing Xia Ruzheng's lonely smile, Xia Ruqian also felt that she had brought up something irrelevant, and quickly changed the subject: "Sister, after the New Year, can you lend me your corduroy pants for two days?"
Xia Ruzheng understood what she meant and said, "Don't you like yours better?"
The two sisters are of similar height and build, so they can often change clothes. Xia Chunfu really got two pairs of corduroy pants for the two sisters. He didn't say that he bought dark ones because he had to work. One is yellow and the other is sky blue, both of which are very eye-catching colors. The two girls are at the age of youth.
"I'm just trying it out. You can never have too many beautiful clothes, right? I'll lend you mine too!"
Xia Ruzheng laughed and said, "You said so. You can't just say you washed it and put it away and then refuse to lend it to me!"
Xia Ruqian blushed and put her arms around Xia Ruzheng's neck, saying, "How could that be? I was ignorant before, but now it's all right! We can wear it on the same day, it's guaranteed to look good!"
Xia Ruzheng nodded, "Just as you said!"
Now if he had the chance to do it all over again, Xia Ruzheng would not care about or like these new clothes so much. Times are changing rapidly, and there will be more and better clothes in the future.
The next day, Xia Ruqian heard that Yang had caused trouble at Huang's house. She was even happier and said that this was a case of enemies coming together. Yang and Du didn't get along so well, but unexpectedly they became relatives. There will be more trouble in the future!
Time flew by, and it was Chinese New Year. After dinner, there was nothing much to do. The Spring Festival Gala wouldn't air for another two years, and since no one around here had a TV at that time, it was pretty boring.
Xia Ruzheng couldn't stay up all night, and Xia Chunfu didn't ask the two sisters to stay by his side all the time. He slept until the next morning, when some children came to pay New Year's greetings.
The children loved visiting their home for New Year's greetings because the candies Xia Chunfu prepared every year were the best and most novel, and the children looked forward to it the most. And because there were no children at home, Xia Chunfu always gave a lot.
After the children had paid their New Year's greetings, it was the turn of the young people to pay their respects. The two sisters were both wearing corduroy pants and cotton jackets. The jackets were not homemade, but novel in style and bright in color. They were not bulky like others', nor were they deliberately wide and long like others'. The two sisters looked very pretty and lively, which was really unique in this area.
Although others think that Xia Ruzheng is old, they have to admit that she is indeed good-looking and knows how to dress up. Some people will also say sourly that it is no use dressing up well if she still can't get married.
Everyone knows that there is no suitable one, so Xia Chunfu is reluctant to let go.
Xia Ruqian was satisfied after receiving a lot of envious and amazed looks.
In the afternoon, Liu Guoqing came to pay New Year's greetings as the future son-in-law. When he saw Xia Ruqian, his eyes lit up. Xia Ruzheng looked at his sister with a smile, and Xia Ruqian rolled her eyes at Liu Guoqing several times. It was so embarrassing.
I just didn’t expect Wen Zhichao to come too.
In previous years, Wen Zhichao didn't like going out because his appearance was considered ominous. During the New Year, he wasn't welcome to visit. He couldn't sit still and went to the city to play. But since the people in the city were also celebrating the New Year, it didn't feel like much. Now, going to the Xia family's house took a lot of courage.
When Wen Zhichao arrived, Liu Guoqing was already in the room chatting and laughing with the father and daughter.
Xia Ruzheng opened the door and smiled as soon as he saw Wen Zhichao standing at the door, saying, "Happy New Year."
Wen Zhichao was almost dazzled by that smile, and his uneasy heart finally settled down a little: "Happy New Year."
"Come in quickly! It's very cold outside." The evil prince and his little concubine:
Everyone was sitting in the house where the fire was burning. The fire was blazing, reflecting everyone's smiling faces.
When they saw Wen Zhichao, everyone greeted him. Wen Zhichao felt like someone who had been walking in the cold winter for a long time and finally encountered a touch of warm spring.
"Hurry up and sit down! You and Guoqing will eat here today! We can't cook fresh rice today, so let's just make noodles!"
The old people believe that the first day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of the Rice Goddess, so no cooking should be done on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The two sisters quickly made some brown sugar, sesame and bean tea, which brought warmth to their homes like spring.
Xia Chunfu talked to Liu Guoqing about holding a wedding banquet in the spring. Liu Guoqing told him his plans and ideas one by one. Xia Chunfu made some suggestions, and Liu Guoqing humbly accepted them. In short, next year's wedding will be very grand.
Xia Ruqian blushed but still managed to hold back. She also wanted to know what her wedding would be like. She hoped it wouldn't become a laughing stock in the neighborhood like Xu Xianhua's.
