Chapter 224 Amulet
If the other party can retreat in the face of difficulties, naturally everyone will be happy and safe;
If the other party is ignorant and does not know how to restrain himself, fortunately, I still have some financial strength to deal with it.
It would be too troublesome if you have to do everything by yourself. After all, people with greater strength may not necessarily have the advantage. What if you accidentally hurt your hand?
On the surface, most people around her think that she is kind and easy to bully, and no one cares even if she suffers a little loss.
However, in the long run, if the Li family wants to do anything in the future, most people will tend to support her position, which is beneficial to maintaining their own reputation and rights.
After Yun Bai met the Li family on the road, he couldn't wait to tell Zhao Chunhua about this matter. The latter just smiled lightly after listening. She neither showed any anger nor made any bad words to accuse them.
This attitude made Xie Yuanfeng and Xie Yunren look at their sister with admiration. They couldn't help but feel relieved for her approachable and good temper, but deep down in their hearts they felt a little worried, fearing that the child would be bullied by others and swallow her anger.
Therefore, the two brothers began to pay more attention to their sister.
Zhao Chunhua quietly observed the changes on her two brothers' faces and found it quite interesting.
In order to allay their concerns about her, she took the initiative to explain, but the more she explained, the more difficult it was for the two brothers to accept it, and they always felt that she was lying to them.
In the end, even she herself felt a little tired.
In fact, she did not intend to confront her family members. It was just that these brothers thought that she was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, which was really exhausting.
Zhao Chunhua sighed helplessly, thinking that she was, after all, an experienced "bookworm". Although the number of books she had read might not have reached thousands, she had at least read hundreds of books, and in the process of reading, she had more or less learned some principles and methodologies of dealing with people.
Even though you may not be a martial arts expert in terms of your physical condition, when it comes to solving problems, taking a gentler and more practical approach is often more effective than just using fists!
However, Zhao Chunhua was still deeply touched by the silent support of her brothers at home.
Their support was sincere and they never asked for anything in return. Moreover, they often secretly helped her solve many troubles behind her back, which made Zhao Chunhua feel a warm tide in her heart.
How can we express the gratitude and joy in our hearts?
Zhao Chunhua’s idea was very simple: to add more dishes to her brothers’ meals.
She believes that since money may create unnecessary barriers, it is better to enhance relationships at the table by sharing delicious food together.
This is undoubtedly a clear and warm choice.
Before the meal started, Yan You and his brothers had already helped to set up a place for the child's one-year-old birthday ceremony.
A red cloth was spread out, with twelve items representing different meanings neatly placed on it: books and brushes representing cultural knowledge; small bamboo swords symbolizing courage and the spirit of exploration; miniature abacus representing wisdom; seals symbolizing power and authority; and ancient coins symbolizing wealth accumulation...
In addition, there are some other small objects with special meanings, such as the ruler representing regular measurement, the amulet representing the heart of safety and protection, the piccolo used to play music to cultivate sentiment, the green onion symbolizing cleverness, and finally the green vegetables and cabbage representing simple and ordinary life. All these mascots are gently tied together with bright and festive red ribbons.
The area was filled with people who came to watch the ceremony, and the cute little stone initially wanted to move towards Zhao Chunhua.
However, when she gently but decisively stretched out her hand and softly stopped the little guy from moving closer to her, her voice was full of encouragement, "My dear baby, now you should choose two things that attract you the most."
Even though he didn't seem to fully understand what the adults meant, because he was not picked up in time, the child had to turn his attention back to the red cloth filled with various items. He first stretched out his tender hands towards the scroll and pulled the thin rope tied to it hard. Then he cast his eyes on a cabbage that looked particularly fresh and plump, and hugged it tightly.
"Oh, it looks like there will be another little student who loves reading and studying in the family soon."
Xie Yunfeng, who witnessed this scene, immediately smiled and was very excited - because he and his good friend Yan You both chose books, which symbolize the inheritance of knowledge, as their first choice when they were one year old, and they both achieved some good achievements after growing up. This further proves the profound meaning behind this folk custom.
"And the little baby even chose 'treasure' which represents wealth and good luck! This indicates that he will not only have excellent academic performance in the future, but also gain a lot of wealth!"
Qianyu then handed the exquisite gift that she had prepared for a long time to the child.
The room was crowded with relatives and friends. Each of them, with great enthusiasm, presented small surprises filled with blessings to this lovely elf who had just come into the world.
The child received red envelopes one after another, and he didn't think it was too much. Instead, there was a gleam of joy in his eyes as he slowly gathered the red envelopes together.
When Zhao Chunhua's attention turned to him, he carefully pushed it back to her, with a childish but sincere smile on his face: "That's enough, these all belong to you, I just hope you can grow up healthy and strong."
His tone was filled with the innocence and concern that only a child can have.
After that, she gently took the red envelope from his hand, and personally put an amulet on him, making sure it was firmly tied to his wrist, and whispered: "This amulet will keep you safe."
Afterwards, she carefully sorted out all the gifts he had received, and each gift was properly classified and placed.
At this point, the entire ceremony was officially over.
We don’t have to cook at home today because many relatives and friends come to help.
"Old Four, whether we can make everyone enjoy the meal depends entirely on you!"
Standing aside with the baby in her arms, the younger sister of the Xie family smiled and watched her brother who was tying an apron to prepare cooking, constantly cheering him up.
No one expected that among the four brothers of the Xie family, the one who was best at cooking and could cook the best dishes was Xie Yunren, who looked very bold and unrestrained.
This discovery surprised everyone who knew the brothers, but it also once again verified the old saying - don't judge a book by its cover.
