Chapter 778 The New Year is almost here
Qi Chan left, only telling Shu Yu to wait for news, which wouldn't be long, and to put her mind at ease.
Shu Yu wasn't in a hurry. In the afternoon, she went back to Zhengdao Village with the old lady and the others, and continued to do her work in an orderly manner.
The letter and New Year's gifts had already been sent out. In the following days, Shu Yu took the old lady to the county town twice more.
With the New Year approaching, the old lady was still worried about Ruan Shi and Daya back in the county town, fearing they might be missing or forgetting something.
This was Shuyu's first New Year since returning home, and the old lady took it very seriously, insisting on personally preparing certain things.
Shu Yu went to the entrance of the county government office, but Qi Chan did not return.
Not only did he not return to Heichang County, but neither did Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi.
Time flies, and it's almost the 29th. Even the usually desolate Zhengdao Village has become lively and festive.
Zhuangzi had already been thoroughly cleaned once. Wang Changdong had just gone to the county town to buy couplets that morning and was now directing the others to put them up.
Shu Yu and Aunt Fang were sitting in the main room cutting paper. Aunt Fang had skillful hands. It was said that her mother was very good at paper cutting. Sometimes when someone had a happy occasion or it was the New Year, they would ask her mother to cut a set of paper.
Aunt Fang naturally knew how to do it too, so Shu Yu followed her and learned. After cutting it out, she took it back to the county town to put it up.
There are already two paper-cut figures of Fuwa on the table. They are very cute and adorable. Shu Yu likes them very much, but they are also very complicated and laborious to cut.
However, Shu Yu seemed determined to cut out a rough outline of the two dolls.
Aunt Fang found it amusing. "You're already very good. You don't know, my Xiyue has been learning for so many years, and all she can do is cut out the character 'spring.' She's good at everything else, but her hands aren't very dexterous. She couldn't learn archery from her father, and she couldn't learn paper cutting from me. But you, you learn everything quickly, you can read and write, and your mind is quick."
Aunt Fang was incredibly envious. If Xiyue were like Shuyu, she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
“Everyone has their strengths. Xiyue’s meticulousness is a great advantage. When we went into the mountains, she was able to save lives.” Shu Yu didn’t even look up. She was cutting at a crucial point, and if she wasn’t careful, she would cut it off.
Aunt Fang thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Last time, the people from the third team even came to our house and brought us two chickens. They said it was all thanks to Xiyue, otherwise they would have been in trouble."
As she spoke, she suddenly looked around, and seeing that no one was around, she moved closer to Shu Yu and asked in a low voice, "Shu Yu, Auntie is asking you, what do you think of Ma Lu?"
"It's fine, what's wrong?" Shu Yu answered casually while cutting hair.
Aunt Fang's voice lowered even further, "Then do you think my Xiyue will be happy with him?"
"Click"
Damn it, it's broken.
Shu Yu looked at Aunt Fang with a resentful expression. The latter chuckled dryly and quickly said, "I'll cut you another one later, I guarantee it will look even better than this."
Shu Yu put down the scissors, but was more concerned about what she had just said. "What did Auntie mean by what she just said?"
Why are people always talking about marriage lately? It's not even spring yet.
Aunt Fang said, "Recently, someone contacted me, saying they wanted to be a matchmaker for Xiyue. But the person they contacted..."
Well, the other party was also a prisoner exiled here, but he used to be the son of a wealthy family. He was knowledgeable and good-looking, and he was quite handsome.
