Chapter 155: A visit on New Year's Day
On the 30th, everyone got up early.
Including Xu Zhiyi, no one stayed in bed lazily.
The whole house is in action. Apart from anything else, the hygiene inside and outside the house needs to be cleaned once more.
Liu Yunshuang went to make breakfast and steamed a lot of big white buns.
I cut half a basin of pickles and fried them directly.
Everyone took a quick bite and then started to get busy.
It's usually quite clean, but the corners need some tidying up.
Xu Zhiqing was also very capable. She took care of her two younger siblings and was busy doing her job conscientiously.
Liu Yunshuang went to stew the meat. The bones from last time would be eaten tonight, and the offal also needed to be braised.
In addition, a few dishes need to be prepared.
After all, it is the New Year. After today, it will be a new life.
Logically speaking, every household should put up couplets, hang signs, and decorate door gods etc.
There are no finished products for sale now. People just buy red paper and ask the villagers to write on it.
In the past, I always went to her house.
Father Liu had beautiful handwriting, and he was famous among everyone in the production team.
She didn't buy red paper either, but it's fine.
In fact, the handwriting of the three sisters is quite good.
In all these years since she came to Old Xu's house, she has never touched a brush.
What was left at home was also taken away by Yu Lu.
Leng Jianguo liked those things, and if he left them there they would be ruined by the Xu family, and it was also a thought for his parents.
At that time, Xu Lanhai was angry with her a lot because of this incident.
Liu Yunshuang’s main character is not knowing and not speaking.
Over time, it just became a thing of the past.
"Mom, we're all done, let me help you light the fire!"
"OK."
The yard was swept yesterday, so there is no need to clean it up today.
The braised food was also simmered over low heat, and the bones were also marinated.
She is making the dough now as she will make dumplings in the evening.
"Comrade Liu Yunshuang?"
She was just about to go into the house to wash her hands when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
When I raised my head, I met familiar eyes.
"Mr. Qiao, why are you here?"
The person who came was Qiao Yiqi. Even though he was wearing many clothes and covered very tightly, she recognized him at the first sight.
Because those eyes were cold and heartless, without any emotion at all.
In a matter of minutes, you can kill people without anyone noticing.
In fact, his eyes are very beautiful, but his gaze is too strong, making people dare not look directly at him.
Liu Yunshuang quickly wiped her hands on her apron and came over to open the door for him.
This man is very tall, probably over 1.8 meters tall.
Next to the gate was a shorter wall, just enough to see his head.
"Come in quickly~"
She quickly welcomed the person in and was quite surprised that he came to her house on New Year's Day.
They led the people to the main room, and Xu Zhili and Xu Zhiyi also came out.
After looking for a long time, he asked tentatively: "Is it Uncle Qiao?"
"It's me, Xiao Zhili, do you still remember me?"
"Remember, why don't you remember, are your wounds healed? Does it still hurt?"
Hearing this, his heart warmed.
"Much better, come, have some candy~"
As he spoke, he took out an iron box from the bag.
When I opened it, it was filled with White Rabbit milk candy.
Xu Zhili did not reach out to take it, but looked at Liu Yunshuang.
She had already washed her hands and poured herself a cup of brown sugar water.
"Uncle Joe gave it to you, so just take it."
After hearing this, Xu Zhili took over.
"Thank you, Uncle Joe."
After thanking him, he gave two of the four candies to Xu Zhiyi.
He took another piece and went to the kitchen to give it to Xu Zhiqing.
There were only these two people left in the main room.
Liu Yunshuang did not dare to delay and asked directly the purpose of the visit.
"Mr. Qiao, is there something going on here?"
She looked at him intently, and Qiao Yiqi looked back at her in the same way.
"You're still so polite. Just call me by my name."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the other party smiled slightly.
“It’s like this, today is New Year’s Day, and Qingzi and the others are gone.
I don’t have any other relatives or friends, so I wanted to come and see you.”
"Come to see us?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Liu Yunshuang was a little confused. Although she saved his life, their friendship was not that deep.
It's a bit unreasonable to visit during the New Year.
"Yeah, it won't be too intrusive!"
Uh, how should she respond to this? It was a bit awkward.
"Don't bother me, I just don't have anything at home, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you well enough."
Hearing this, Qiao Yiqi calmed down.
"It's okay. I brought some cooked food. Take a look."
Then, he opened the bag he had brought without saying a word.
There are quite a lot of things inside, all wrapped in oil paper.
"This is smoked chicken, red sausage, braised beef, roast goose, and drunken shrimp. Take a look. If it doesn't work, just heat it up.
There are some candies and chocolates, as well as clothes for the children.
By the way, this one is for you, take a look~"
He talked a lot to himself, then took the clothes and handed them to her.
Liu Yunshuang was stunned. What was he doing? "Qiao, Brother Qiao, you don't need these things. How much do they cost? Take them back quickly. We also stewed meat today. If you don't mind, you can leave some for a bite."
The meat is ready, so of course we want to stay for dinner.
“Okay, those things were originally prepared for you.
If you don't want it, I'd be embarrassed to stay for dinner."
As he said that, he handed the clothes over again.
Ah, why is this person like this? She is stuck here.
“Um, okay, thank you very much.
Oh, wait a minute~"
As she said that, she went to the west room and tinkered with it.
"Brother Qiao, this is for you."
Qiao Yiqi didn't understand what was going on, so he opened his handkerchief and found two hundred yuan inside.
Looking at the great unity in his hand, his brows were tightly furrowed.
You can see that the mood is not very good.
“That time, you said you were so polite and even left some money.
The last time I went there, something like that happened again and I was so scared that I almost forgot about it.
And the watch ticket, I know how valuable it is, you keep it."
After hearing the explanation, Qiao Yiqi sighed.
"You don't have to be so distant with me. You saved me, so I should give you more."
"Don't say that, anyone who encounters this problem will help.
I can't let you suffer any loss, because it's something that you earn money from."
I want to convince him and also make myself feel better.
She definitely had to give the money, and since they bought so many things, she had to give some money! "Take the money back, I don't want it.
If you feel bad about it, just let me stay at your house for two days. I have nowhere else to go."
What, he'll stay for two more days.
"Uh, that's fine with me, I'm just worried that people will gossip about you."
"Gossip, what gossip?"
"It's naturally not nice to hear a man and a woman alone."
"Yeah, you're right, don't worry, I'll leave later!"
