Chapter 37 New Year



"What are you looking at? Your hand is pressing on my hair again." Liu Tangxi gasped in pain.

If there is anything inconvenient about crossing over, it is this long hair. The original owner probably never had her hair cut since she was a child, and her hair is very long, reaching below her waist.

She washed her hair yesterday afternoon and didn't tie it up, and it was spread out on the bed at night.

She was so nervous last night that she didn't think about her hair.

She was sleeping soundly in the morning, but just when she wanted to turn over, she felt someone pulling her hair. She opened her eyes and saw that Wei Hanzhou was so close to her and was holding her hair!

This is simply unbearable.

So, Liu Tangxi started to accuse Wei Hanzhou without even having time to feel shy.

Wei Hanzhou didn't sleep well last night. He didn't know how many times he had covered Liu Tangxi with the quilt. Moreover, Liu Tangxi really affected his sleep, so he didn't sleep for long. He finally fell asleep, and was in a deep sleep, but was woken up by someone, and the other person blamed him for the mistake.

He didn't want to argue with her, but the other party was the first to complain.

However, before Wei Hanzhou could say anything, he looked down and saw that, sure enough, Liu Tangxi's hair was under his hand.

Not only that, it also intertwined with her long hair.

In an instant, Wei Hanzhou's heart softened and all his anger disappeared.

"Sorry." Wei Hanzhou raised his hand and apologized to Liu Tangxi.

Initially, Liu Tangxi saw Wei Hanzhou frowning and thought he was going to refute her, so she was a little scared and felt wronged. However, as soon as Wei Hanzhou apologized, she immediately became angry.

"Hmph, sleep better next time, or you can just sleep on the floor." Liu Tangxi said with his chin slightly raised.

"Yeah." Wei Hanzhou responded.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Liu Tangxi was satisfied.

After saying this to Wei Hanzhou, she felt a gust of cold wind coming in through the gaps in the window frames, and she couldn't help but shiver.

After taking another look at the sky outside, it felt still early, so Liu Tangxi quickly lay down again.

It was just the morning hour, and if he counted carefully, Wei Hanzhou had only slept for about two hours. However, he did not have the habit of falling asleep, and he did not sleep well last night, so he might not be able to fall asleep if he lay down again.

So, Wei Hanzhou threw back the quilt and got up.

Liu Tangxi noticed that Wei Hanzhou was about to get up, so she opened her eyes and looked at him. Then, she wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and closed her eyes.

Listening to the whistling northwest wind, Liu Tangxi thought to herself that studying is so hard, it’s a good thing she doesn’t have to study.

After getting up, Wei Hanzhou opened the door.

As soon as he opened it, he met Wei Lao San who also got up early.

Wei Lao San had a serious illness this year and now pays great attention to physical exercise. He feels that his health is getting better and better, and he always thinks it is due to exercise.

So, he went hiking with his son.

The father and son climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the quiet villages and fields below, Wei Hanzhou felt a lot more relaxed.

The feeling of climbing high and looking far is so wonderful that it seems to make people forget all their worries.

Wei Lao San took a breath and finally calmed down. He looked at his son's expression and said with a smile, "You have loved climbing mountains since you were a child. I didn't expect that you still like it so much now."

After all, he was his own son, and he had raised him since childhood. Even though his son's expression did not change significantly, Wei Lao San could still sense it. Therefore, he could feel that his son was in a good mood at the moment.

Wei Hanzhou came back to his senses, looked at Wei Lao San, and said, "Well, there is no obstruction on the top of the mountain, and you can overlook everything."

Wei Lao San smiled and said a few words, but before he could finish a few words, he started coughing.

Seeing this, Wei Hanzhou hurriedly went down with Wei Laosan.

After a while, Liu Tangxi also got up. Today she cooked and Zhang lit the fire.

After finishing, Li saw that there was no movement in the study, so she said to Liu Tangxi, "Old Third's wife, it's time to eat. Go and call Old Third."

Thinking about what happened last night and early this morning, Liu Tangxi felt a little embarrassed. However, since Li had given the order, she still agreed.

"Oh, okay."

After saying that, Liu Tangxi walked towards the study.

Arriving at the door of the study, Liu Tangxi took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and tried to remain calm, saying, "Husband, it's time for dinner."

Soon, a voice came from inside, "Okay, got it."

Hearing this answer, Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.

It seems that things are not as embarrassing as imagined. I really don't know why she was so pretentious just now.

After thinking about it, Liu Tangxi regained his previous ease.

At the dinner table, Liu Tangxi sat next to Wei Hanzhou as usual.

After being busy all morning, she was already hungry, so she ate happily.

Looking at Wei Hanzhou beside her, although he was still eating slowly, it seemed that he didn't have a good appetite.

"Third brother, why don't you eat more? You eat so little today." Li said with concern.

"I'm not very hungry today." Wei Hanzhou explained.

"Eat more. Your uncle and others are probably coming today, and we don't know when the next meal will be." Wei Lao San said with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou hesitated for a moment.

Liu Tangxi was also hesitant.

She had already eaten a vegetable bun, but she was not full yet and wanted to eat a few more meat buns.

But she couldn't finish the whole one.

So, she stared at the meat bun for a long time.

At this moment, after hearing what Li and Wei Lao San said, he turned his head and glanced at Wei Hanzhou beside him. Suddenly, a plan came to his mind, and he reached out to take a pork and cabbage bun, broke it open, and gave half to Wei Hanzhou.

"Husband, my parents have said so, so you should eat more. I'm sure you can't finish one, so let's have half each."

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and took the opened bun from her hand.

After Wei Hanzhou took it, Liu Tangxi started to eat the bun in his hand with big mouthfuls, looking very happy.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, Li said with a smile, "Third brother, hurry up and eat. Your daughter-in-law has already broken it for you."

"Hmm." Wei Hanzhou responded sullenly.

That day, Li's family came.

Li's family lives in the next door Lijia Village, so it is very convenient to come here.

Li's parents had passed away long ago, and his brothers had also separated. Today, they all came together, a large group of people, young and old.

Since the relatives came, Liu Tangxi did not leave the stove all day except to say hello to them.

Cooking, making meals, washing dishes... Zhang did the same thing. Zhou was a little better than them because she had to take care of Gu Zhongxing.

Originally, Liu Tangxi didn't think having three children was too many at home, but now the children of relatives have come over, and seven or eight children are fighting and making noise in the yard, which really makes people's scalp explode.

Even after the relatives left in the afternoon, Liu Tangxi could still hear the children's voices echoing in her ears. This feeling was really too torturous.

While everyone was resting, Liu Tangxi took a bath with hot water.

Because many people came during the day, they used the chair in Liu Tangxi's room.

Liu Tangxi really forgot to move back.

For some reason, Wei Hanzhou seemed to have forgotten.

So, late at night, when Wei Hanzhou came back from the study, he took a look inside the room and then glanced at the bed.

The quilt that belonged to him on the bed was already folded up, with the quilt he usually used underneath and the quilt he brought back from the living room a few days ago on top. Also, his pillow was placed side by side with Liu Tangxi's, just like before he left in the morning.

Looking further inside, he saw his wife already lying there.

It was icy and snowy outside, and the northwest wind was blowing loudly. At the foot of the mountain, you could even hear the rustling sound of the trees on the mountain being blown.

Everything seemed as cold as it should be in winter.

Although there was no stove in the house, it was as warm as spring.

Dim candlelight, a made bed, thick bedding, and a wife sleeping peacefully.

Wei Hanzhou was feeling very moved when Liu Tangxi suddenly opened his eyes and said to him, "What are you looking at? Go to sleep quickly. I'm so sleepy."

Liu Tangxi had already laid down on the bed, but she was not asleep. The moment Wei Hanzhou closed the door of the study, she heard the noise.

She forgot to bring a chair to Wei Hanzhou again today.

Looking at the three quilts on the bed and then at the two pillows, she made her own quilt first, lay down in the middle of the bed, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Then, about a quarter of an hour later, he got up again.

He put his own pillow inside, then placed Wei Hanzhou's pillow next to his own. Finally, he also laid out Wei Hanzhou's quilt.

While doing it, I thought to myself, she is so wise.

At the same time, she kept comforting herself in her heart that she did this for herself.

After all, it was because of her arrival that Wei Hanzhou had no bed to sleep on and no quilt to cover himself with. What if he got sick and missed the exam? Wouldn't she be unable to go back to the capital with him? No, she had to ensure that Wei Hanzhou was healthy and safe, and couldn't let him suffer an unwarranted disaster because of her.

After receiving such comfort, Liu Tangxi felt much more relieved and lay back down on the bed.

The moment Wei Hanzhou came in, Liu Tangxi started to get nervous.

While Wei Hanzhou stood in front of the bed thinking for a long time without taking any further action, Liu Tangxi began to feel uneasy.

To be honest, this was all her wish.

Wei Hanzhou, this bastard, rarely looked at her and always ignored her. Even when he did, he was usually arguing with her.

He didn't seem to have any other intentions towards her.

Thinking of this man's achievements and personality in the book, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that Wei Hanzhou probably really didn't like her.

She was a daughter of a marquis, capable of both cooking and cooking, and one in a million in appearance. Why didn't he like her?

She doesn't even like him!

If you don’t want to sleep on the bed with her, just sleep on the floor or in the study. She won’t bother you anyway.

The beautiful static picture that Wei Hanzhou had depicted in his mind suddenly disappeared.

He looked up and glanced at Liu Tangxi who was lying inside. Then, he lowered his head to blow out the candles, took off his heavy clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou was obedient, Liu Tangxi let out a sigh of relief.

In the darkness, she glared at Wei Hanzhou fiercely.

If looks could hurt, Wei Hanzhou would probably be covered in wounds by now.

After glaring at him and cursing him a few times in his heart, Liu Tangxi finally let out his anger.

Then, I closed my eyes and gradually fell into sleep.

Hearing the steady breathing sound, Wei Hanzhou gently turned over and looked at Liu Tangxi who was sleeping not far away with her face facing him.

Although the static image disappeared, the dynamic image came alive.

This picture is not only moving, but also has a fragrance, which is lingering and makes it difficult for people to fall asleep.

Liu Tangxi slept very well this time and woke up feeling full of energy.

Looking sideways and seeing that Wei Hanzhou had left, Liu Tangxi slowly began to get up.

Speaking of which, she slept well these two nights.

She is actually a very insecure person. In her previous life, she worked alone in a big city and sometimes felt lonely and hoped to have someone to accompany her. Unfortunately, she never waited for that person.

Now that I have suddenly come to this strange dynasty, I feel panicky and uneasy inside.

But these two nights, the uneasy feeling in my heart seemed to have eased a lot.

Is it because of Wei Hanzhou?

When he thought of this, Liu Tangxi suddenly paused in picking up his shoes.

No...that's impossible?

It must be because there is someone beside me that I feel more secure when I sleep. That person could be Wei Hanzhou, or Li or Zhang.

Well, that must be it.

Liu Tangxi comforted himself in this way in his heart.

Soon, Liu Tangxi put this problem behind him.

Today is the 29th day of the 11th lunar month, and tomorrow night is New Year's Eve.

Most of the relatives of the third family of Wei who could come had already come, so there were not many people coming today. But they had not yet finished their relatives' visit.

Liu Tangxi was a person who didn't like to go out, and she was newly married, so Li didn't arrange for her to go.

Wei Daniu and his wife and Wei Erhu and his wife each went to one family.

As soon as the two families left, the house became deserted. Only Wei Laosan and his wife, Wei Zhongxing, Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi were left.

Liu Tangxi was enjoying a quiet time.

Her shoulders are still a little sore from being so busy over the past two days.

I will be busy tomorrow and the first day of the new year, so it would be great to take a break now.

There are fewer people in the family, so we can pay more attention to each other.

Upon seeing this, Wei Lao San discovered that his son was abnormal.

At the dinner table, Wei Lao San looked at his son and asked, "Lao San, why do I feel that you have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not sleep well these days?"

Wei Hanzhou thought about his insomniac nights in the past two days, and his hand that was picking up food paused slightly.

"My son is fine."

"Have you been reading for too long? It's New Year's Day and the weather is cold. Don't get frozen, or else it will be troublesome again."

Li looked at her son, then at Liu Tangxi, and took over the conversation, saying, "You are on vacation now, so there is no need to read for so long every day. It is almost the New Year, so you should relax and don't stay up late to read."

Liu Tangxi was looking at Wei Hanzhou. When he heard what Li said, he immediately shifted his gaze to Li.

Seeing Li's meaningful look, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt uneasy and quickly lowered his head to continue eating.

"Yes, my son remembers it."

"Then..." Wei Lao San wanted to say something but was stopped by Li.

"Eat, eat. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Third brother, go back to your room and have some rest early." Li said with a smile.

Liu Tangxi suddenly understood what Li meant and became even more embarrassed.

Wei Hanzhou naturally understood it. His mother had hinted and hinted at it to him many times, so it was hard for him not to understand.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law sitting opposite her all eating with their heads down, Li smiled even more happily.

There were no guests at home that day, so the chairs in their room were naturally not used. However, neither Liu Tangxi nor Wei Hanzhou seemed to remember this and did not move the chairs back.

The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and no one mentioned the matter.

That night, Wei Hanzhou still suffered from insomnia, while Liu Tangxi still slept soundly.

The next morning, after breakfast, Wei Hanzhou began to write couplets.

Wei Hanzhou was the only scholar in the village, and many people came to his house to ask for couplets.

This was the first time that Liu Tangxi saw so many people coming to Wei Lao San's house.

Of course, not many people came empty-handed, which meant that the people from the Wei family did not treat them as outsiders. When the second family of Wei came to ask for couplets, they also brought some eggs.

Wei Lao San and Wei Lao Er squatted at the door of the main hall and chatted for a long time.

From the looks of it, the two seem to have a good relationship.

Wei Lao San and Wei Lao Er look quite similar. Both of them seem to have calm personalities. They speak in a low voice with a smile on their faces while they talk.

Wei Lao Si married a girl from the town. I heard that he has been preparing for the exam and has not been back for many years.

It took Wei Hanzhou more than an hour to finish writing the couplet.

After writing, he turned his wrist.

After writing about other people's homes, it's finally my turn.

Bosheng was originally playing with his sisters, but now he ran to Wei Hanzhou and watched him write.

Liu Tangxi looked at the uncle and nephew, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Why not let Bosheng write one?"

There are many doors in the house, with about five doors exposed outside. The main door is the facade, and it must have been written by Wei Hanzhou, as was the one in the main hall. The other doors, such as the kitchen, are not that important.

Hearing Liu Tangxi's proposal, Wei Hanzhou paused and looked at his nephew who was standing aside and watching him.

Bosheng saw his uncle and aunt looking at him, and blushed as he refused, "No, no, aunt, I just started, I can't write."

Seeing him like this, Liu Tangxi actually hoped that he would write it even more.

"It's okay. Everyone has a first time. If you don't know how to write, you can ask your uncle to teach you."

After hearing this, Wei Lao San, who was squatting at the door of the main hall, smiled and said, "Bosheng, you can write it too. When you are done, stick it on the door of our main hall."

Bosheng is the eldest grandson of Wei Lao San, and his status is different from that of his younger brothers and sisters.

The son wrote it outside, and the grandson wrote it at home, which is also like a kind of inheritance.

Li and others also seconded the proposal.

Wei Hanzhou dipped the brush in ink and handed it to his nephew who was standing beside him.

Bosheng pursed his lips, with a nervous expression on his face.

"Write it."

"Uncle...Uncle San, can I...can I really do this?" Bosheng asked uncertainly.

"Uncle San is holding your hand and writing." Wei Hanzhou said in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Bosheng's eyes lit up and he nodded solemnly.

Then, with the help of Wei Hanzhou, Bosheng slowly finished writing a couplet.

Looking at the couplet I wrote and then at the one written by my third uncle, I suddenly felt depressed.

He writes so ugly.

Seeing that his uncle seemed to want to use his couplet, Bosheng said with some shame, "Uncle, why don't you just not use it."

He felt ashamed.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at his nephew and frowned.

My nephew seems to have too little confidence in himself.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi who was feeding the pigs, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think your third aunt is amazing?"

Bosheng nodded without hesitation, "Amazing! Third Auntie can embroider and knows so many words. She is amazing."

"But her handwriting is not as beautiful as yours."

"Ah?" Bosheng looked at Wei Hanzhou in surprise. In his mind, the third aunt was really amazing, but he didn't expect that such an amazing third aunt could not write well.

"Put it up there. Your aunt will definitely say that your writing is beautiful."

"Really?" Bosheng was still a little uncertain.

Wei Hanzhou nodded and said, "Why don't you go ask her?"

Having known each other for such a long time, he knew her to some extent, just as Liu Tangxi knew him. She was always tolerant towards children and loved to protect and praise them.

Bosheng glanced at Liu Tangxi who was feeding the pigs, pursed his lips, picked up a banner he had written, and went to Liu Tangxi.

"Auntie San, what do you think of my writing? Can...can it be posted on the door?" Bosheng asked.

Liu Tangxi didn't know what the uncle and nephew said. He turned around and took a look at Bosheng's handwriting, smiled and praised, "Great, very well written."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. Auntie thinks your writing is better than your uncle's. Uncle Sheng is the best."

Liu Tangxi praised against his conscience.

For such children who lack self-confidence, Liu Tangxi has always adopted an encouraging approach.

"No, no, please stop joking, Auntie. Uncle San writes better. I am far behind." Bosheng shook his head quickly.

Although he had little self-confidence and always looked down on himself, his uncle was indeed much better than him when it came to handwriting. He didn't know how many more years of practice he would have to put in before he could catch up.

Liu Tangxi stroked Bosheng's hair and said with a smile, "I'm not kidding. When your uncle was your age, he couldn't write. You are much better than him."

Wei Hanzhou... Hehe. ,,,
