Seeing Wei Hanzhou's gloomy face, Liu Tangxi should have been scared. But somehow, she became happier.
She was even wondering whether Wei Hanzhou had also thought about the time when he played with the child.
Just like that, the couple, one with a sullen face and the other with a smile, returned home one after the other.
Seeing her son's face turn black, Mrs. Li thought the two were angry, so she frowned slightly and wanted to go up and ask what was going on.
Then, just as she took two steps towards her son, she saw her young daughter-in-law following in behind her son.
Unlike her son, her daughter-in-law was smiling happily.
Li immediately stopped walking towards her son. She looked at her daughter-in-law and then at her son, wondering if her daughter-in-law had made her son unhappy.
However, my daughter-in-law has a good temper and is sensible, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Thinking that her son had such an expressionless face since he was a child, Li attributed the reason to her son.
My son is good in every way except that he is too mature and doesn't know how to express himself.
She felt that her son cared a lot about his daughter-in-law. He personally took care of Li Xiucai's family affairs. Moreover, his eyes would occasionally fall on his daughter-in-law.
But he just likes to keep a straight face, making it difficult for people to see his true thoughts.
How can you treat your own wife like this!
It seems that she still needs to find time to talk to her son again, otherwise, she doesn't know when she can hold her grandson.
"Mom, I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat tonight?" Liu Tangxi's words interrupted Li's thoughts.
Li came back to her senses, looked at her daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "It's all right."
After saying this, he glanced at his son who was carrying a basket to the stove and said, "Why don't you ask the third son what he wants to eat?"
Liu Tangxi nodded, turned to look at Wei Hanzhou, and asked happily: "Husband, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
Wei Hanzhou didn't even look at Liu Tangxi, he put a basket of leaves in the kitchen, with a cold face, he spat out two words: "Whatever."
After saying that, he turned away from the stove and went to the study.
"Okay, I'll just do whatever I want~" Liu Tangxi said with a smile as he looked at Wei Hanzhou's back. From the tone of his voice, he was not affected at all by Wei Hanzhou's cold expression.
Not only that, he also discussed with Zhou who was standing beside him: "Fuyao likes sweets, how about we make some sweet potato with candied potatoes? Bosheng has worked hard at studying, so we can stew some potatoes with meat."
"Okay, whatever my third sister-in-law cooks is delicious, I'll be responsible for lighting the fire for you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Listening to these conversations, Wei Hanzhou couldn't help but think, she didn't consider him at all, why did she ask him what he liked to eat just now? Isn't it unnecessary?
The two sisters-in-law were talking in a friendly manner, but Wei Hanzhou went to the study with a gloomy face.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's good attitude and her son's temper, Li felt that it was his fault. But she had already told him off once today, so it was not good to tell him off a second time. So, after thinking about it, she put it aside.
The last time he went to the town, Liu Tangxi bought some candy lavishly, which came in handy now.
She was nimble and skillful, and Zhou had a perfect control of the heat, so soon the shredded sweet potatoes were ready.
This kind of dish will not taste good if it gets cold, so Liu Tangxi served it out after it was cooked.
When the children saw this dish, they all swallowed their saliva.
"Go wash your hands quickly, then come over and eat."
"Yes, Third Auntie." The children who were still playing and making noise in the afternoon now said in unison.
Soon, the three little kids washed their hands and sat at the small table to eat.
Seeing them enjoying their meal, Liu Tangxi felt very satisfied.
She doesn't like sweets, but she feels a sense of accomplishment when she sees that everyone enjoys the food she makes.
"Is it delicious?" Liu Tangxi asked.
"tasty!"
"Then you guys be good, and I'll do it for you next time, okay?"
"good!"
After talking to the little kid for a while, Liu Tangxi went back to the stove to cook.
While the dish was stewing, Liu Tangxi put a few pancakes on the wall of the pot.
By the time Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu returned from town, the meal was almost ready.
Some people washed their hands, some people brought the plates, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the food was served on the table.
Today, both Wei Hanzhou and Bosheng, two students, are at home, so the food is a little richer.
In addition to the main dish of stewed potatoes with meat, Liu Tangxi also stewed beans, fried loofah and eggplant, and put a pot of winter melon soup in the middle.
The Wei family did not insist on separate seating for men and women, nor did they have the rule of not talking while eating; everyone was talking and laughing.
Although the three little kids had just eaten candied sweet potatoes, they couldn't help but eat their rice in big mouthfuls when they smelled the delicious food.
Liu Tangxi accompanied Xiaodouding to play in the mountains in the afternoon. He was hungry now and ate a lot of food.
After dinner, everyone talked for a while and then went back to their rooms. Wei Hanzhou went to the study.
Liu Tangxi worked with Zhang and Zhou to clean the table. After they were done, Liu Tangxi returned to the house.
He didn't feel it during the day, but at night, Liu Tangxi found that today was much colder than yesterday.
After sitting there for a while, Liu Tangxi washed his feet with hot water and went to bed shivering.
This quilt is already a thick one, but if you only use one, you will still feel a little cold.
But there were only two quilts in the room, one for her and one for Wei Hanzhou.
Looking at Wei Hanzhou's quilt placed at the foot of the bed, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt itchy. However, if she covered herself with this quilt, Wei Hanzhou would have nothing to cover himself with. After thinking about it, Liu Tangxi held back.
After all, it's not too cold now, so just bear with it and it will pass.
After a while, Wei Hanzhou came back.
Liu Tangxi didn't make the bed for Wei Hanzhou, and Wei Hanzhou didn't look surprised and made it himself.
Liu Tangxi had a dreamless night and was woken up by being frozen the next morning.
After waking up, Liu Tangxi saw that Wei Hanzhou had left without her knowing. Without any hesitation, she pulled the quilt from the foot of the bed and covered herself with it.
Although the weight on my body suddenly increased, my body gradually warmed up.
Liu Tangxi felt extremely comfortable and fell asleep again with a smile on her face.
When he woke up again, Liu Tangxi thought he would feel uncomfortable, after all, he had frozen at night. But the amazing thing was that he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and waking up from the freezing cold at dawn seemed like a dream.
That's really strange.
After thinking for a while without figuring it out, Liu Tangxi got dressed and got up.
After getting out of bed and opening the door, Liu Tangxi felt cold. She stood at the door and found that snowflakes were floating in the sky without her knowing.
Winter is here.
Liu Tangxi had rarely seen snow in his previous life, and could only look at pictures on the Internet to satisfy his craving for it. Now, seeing the snowflakes falling from the sky, his mood suddenly improved.
"Auntie, it's snowing." Fu Yao shouted.
She had just gotten up to urinate, and her hair was uncombed and a mess.
This way, it can be as funny as it can be.
However, because she is a child, she is even more adorable.
"Yes, we can have snowball fights when it snows." Liu Tangxi replied with a smile.
Li, who was sweeping the yard, smiled and said, "It's still early. I estimate it will take ten days or so before it snows heavily."
Liu Tangxi smiled and nodded, walked towards Li, wanting to take the broom from Li's hand.
Li refused and said, "No, there is water here and I am afraid it will freeze soon. Just sweep it away. Go wash up."
Liu Tangxi had no choice but to give up and go wash up.
Next, just as Li said, there were snowflakes floating in the sky for a while and then there was no movement.
The sky was gloomy all day, and although the snow had stopped, it was still very cold. In the evening, the wind blew and made the window frames creak.
Just by hearing the sound, Liu Tangxi couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the quilt at the end of the bed.
In the past, as soon as Wei Hanzhou left, Liu Tangxi would dry the quilt and stuff it into the closet.
But the weather was bad today, and Liu Tangxi didn't have time to bask in the sun, so the quilt was left outside.
Liu Tangxi felt the chill on his body and looked at the extremely tempting quilt at the end of the bed.
That was Wei Hanzhou's quilt. Was it inappropriate for her to cover herself with it? Although she had covered herself with it in the morning, it was too cold at that time. She was so cold that she lost the ability to think. She covered herself with it instinctively without thinking too much.
But now that she was awake, she felt a little hesitant when she looked at the quilt.
Although she and Wei Hanzhou have been living in the same room for half a year, they have never interfered with each other. Each of them has his own bed and bedding, and no one touches each other.
If she covered it, wouldn't that be crossing the line?
However, although she thought about it for a long time, when she was about to fall asleep, the coldness on her body still overcame her reason. She reached out and pulled Wei Hanzhou's quilt over and covered herself with it.
As soon as he covered it, Liu Tangxi smelled a strange odor.
She didn't notice it in the morning, but at night her senses seemed to become more sensitive.
This smell seems to be the smell of ink, but also seems to be mixed with some other smells. It smells very unique.
Could this be the smell of Wei Hanzhou?
When Liu Tangxi thought of this, the image of Wei Hanzhou immediately appeared in his mind.
Combined with the smell she smelled at the moment, Liu Tangxi couldn't help but blush.
About half a minute later, Liu Tangxi lifted the quilt a little and let out a long breath.
Even with two quilts, it was still too hot and she couldn't breathe.
After opening it, I felt a lot more comfortable.
Gradually, Liu Tangxi felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep. However, she began to feel a little cold, and subconsciously covered herself with the quilt again.
With the strange smell on the quilt, Liu Tangxi slowly fell asleep.
That night, Liu Tangxi had a dream, and she dreamed of Wei Hanzhou again.
However, this time, what she dreamed of was Wei Hanzhou with a cold face, and then she lay on him and smelled his scent.
In the end, she was pushed away by Wei Hanzhou with a look of disgust.
When Liu Tangxi realized what shameful thing he had done, he suddenly woke up.
She really was dreaming! How could she possibly do such a thing!
Looking at the quilt on top, he suddenly felt disgusted and quickly lifted it up and put it aside.
However, it was not yet the hour of Mao, the sky was still dark, and it was extremely cold. Less than half a minute after opening the quilt, Liu Tangxi stretched out her little hand again and silently covered herself with the quilt.
Forget it, it's just a dream anyway, and no one will know about this embarrassing thing. Your body is your own, so take good care of it.
Gradually, Liu Tangxi convinced himself.
A few days later, someone from the town came. The shopkeeper came in person, checked the wedding dress, and then left.
Two days later, the shopkeeper brought five taels of silver.
The shopkeeper carefully handed the silver directly to Liu Tangxi.
After the shopkeeper left, Li and others looked at the silver in Liu Tangxi's hand excitedly. This was five taels of silver. Although the family had saved dozens of taels of silver at most, they had worked hard for many years to save that money.
But Liu Tangxi earned five taels in just one month.
This feeling is quite different from the previous time when I built it up bit by bit.
Liu Tangxi was probably the calmest person present.
The money she had seen since she was a child was not like this, so for her, these silver coins were not enough to excite her. If the silver coins were exchanged for the currency she used in her previous life, perhaps Liu Tangxi would not think so.
But now she really couldn't get too excited about the five taels of silver.
Seeing that Li was looking at him eagerly, Liu Tangxi simply put all the silver in her hands.
"Mom, please take it."
No matter why Li had saved her, it was Li who had saved her with twenty taels of silver, so her feelings towards Li were naturally different from those of others. Not to mention five taels of silver, if she had fifty taels, she would have been willing to give it to Li.
Li took the silver and looked at it. After that, he handed the two pieces of silver to Liu Tangxi.
"This is two taels. I'll give you the rest later."
Liu Tangxi knew how important money was to the Wei family, so she refused: "No, Mom, let's talk about it later. I don't need money now."
Li smiled and said, "Take it, take it. We agreed that you will share half of the money you earn in the future. You must do this."
After that, Li said to the other two daughters-in-law standing by: "If you can make money, keep half. However, this craft belongs to the third daughter-in-law. I believe she suffered a lot in the past and spent a lot of money to hire a master to teach her. She deserves it. Don't be resentful."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I am very grateful to my third brother's wife for teaching me how to play Fuyao." Zhou said.
Zhang was not good at speaking, so she followed suit and said, "Yes, mother, we won't do that."
Li nodded with a smile.
Liu Tangxi looked at the expressions of Zhang and Zhou and put the money away. It was almost the New Year and now he had the money, so he could go to town and buy some delicious food.
When he thought of the delicious food, Liu Tangxi began to swallow his saliva involuntarily.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li went to the town to buy New Year's goods. Zhang, Liu Tangxi and a few other children also went with her.
Although it is still far to the town, Liu Tangxi feels motivated again as he thinks that the New Year is coming soon and there will be a lot of delicious food in the town.
On the way, they met nearby villagers who were also on their way to the gathering place.
The villagers all know each other, and even if they don’t know each other, they all look familiar.
Since they were going to buy New Year's goods, everyone had a smile on their face. However, everyone's eyes stayed on Liu Tangxi's face for a long time. After all, Liu Tangxi's reputation was too great, and he rarely went out. Now that they finally met him, they naturally looked at him again and again.
Liu Tangxi had become somewhat accustomed to everyone's undisguised stares and just pretended not to see anything.
Because I met many people along the way and talked to each other, this journey seemed shorter than usual.
Soon, the group arrived in town and went their separate ways according to what they bought.
Liu Tangxi and others first went to the shop and handed the embroidered items in their hands to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper made a lot of money in the past half month because of Liu Tangxi. When he saw Liu Tangxi, the smile on his face became a little more intense.
"Mrs. Scholar, you are here."
"Well, good job, shopkeeper."
"Are you here to buy New Year's goods today?"
"Exactly."
The shopkeeper looked at them and said with a smile, "I'll have the waiter take you back after you finish shopping."
"No, no, thank you very much, boss." Liu Tangxi quickly refused.
It had already been discussed at home last night. They would come to buy things, and after buying the things, they would leave them at where Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu were working, and they would take them back when they were done.
"Thank you, Madam Scholar. We are so familiar with each other, there is no need to refuse. Besides, many customers have come to my shop because of the Guo family incident. I have a lot to thank you, Madam." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
The shopkeeper was so enthusiastic that Liu Tangxi glanced at Li and agreed.
However, when the shopkeeper calculated the embroidery work, he shortchanged the salary by one purse.
The shopkeeper naturally refused to accept it, so Liu Tangxi had no choice but to give up.
Seeing that there were indeed more customers in the store than before, Liu Tangxi did not stay for long and went out with Li.
Li originally thought of buying fewer things and coming more often, but after hearing the shopkeeper's help, he was ready to buy everything.
Liu Tangxi had planned to come to the town to eat delicious food, but he was not very satisfied with either the hawthorn or some fried snacks.
It’s not that it doesn’t taste good, but she just doesn’t think it looks very pleasing to the eye, or not very clean.
It would be fine for her to eat it herself, but she didn’t want her two children to eat it too. What if they got stomach upset?
After much thought, Liu Tangxi did not buy any more food, but bought some hawthorn, sugar, etc. She planned to go back and cook it herself, so that the ingredients would be sufficient and clean.
After buying the things, the group went to the shopkeeper's shop and put all the things on the mule cart.
The mule carriage was not big to begin with, and there was not much space left after putting all the things in it, so Li, Fu Yao, and Shu Lan went back in the mule carriage.
Liu Tangxi and Zhang went to where Wei Daniu worked, said hello to them, and then went back.
After the mule car was delivered to his home, Li gave his servants a few eggs.
She is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others. If someone helps her, she naturally wants to give something back.
A few days later, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and this time it turned into heavy snow.
When I woke up, the ground, the roofs, and the nearby mountains were all covered with snow. Now we could have a snowball fight.
However, before Liu Tangxi had time to appreciate it, the three little kids all ran in front of her.
"Auntie, you're finally awake. When are you going to make the Tanghulu?"
"Auntie, I want to eat fried lotus root."
"I want to eat sweet potato balls."
Liu Tangxi thought they would be more looking forward to the snowball fight, but unexpectedly they were thinking about the food she mentioned that day.
Seeing how eager they were, Liu Tangxi pinched their red faces and said with a smile, "Let's do it after we have dinner, okay?"
"good!",,
