Chapter 158 Xu Zhiwei's Soft Knife

“Yes, I’m Yunshuang’s cousin.

Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."

He said, nodding.

Du Ruohong also quickly returned the gift and greeted him.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

"By the way, Chinen, Chishin, this red envelope is for you~"

As he said that, he took out two from his pocket.

"Thank you, Second Aunt~"

Du Ruohong also gave some to her three children. They had just finished eating and the table was not cleared yet.

Xu Zhiqing hurried and Xu Zhili also helped.

Knowing that the adults were going to talk, they went to the east room to play.

"Sister-in-law, eat some melon seeds and some dried sweet potatoes. They are both very sweet."

"Okay, Yunshuang, why haven't I heard you mention that you have such a cousin?"

Du Ruohong said this while looking at Qiao Yiqi.

“We haven’t been in touch for many years, and you know about our family.

Plus, I didn’t tell you because I live far away.”

There is no other way but to make up a story seriously.

Qiao Yiqi didn't think anything was wrong, so he just sat beside them and drank water, looking very natural.

"So that's how it is. That's good. I have more relatives now. If I have any problems in the future, they can help me."

"By the way, do you have any extra salt at home?

Give me some, there is not enough at home, and there is no place to buy now."

"Okay, it's in the kitchen. I'll get it for you."

The two of them came here together, and Du Ruohong came up directly.

"Yunshuang, tell the truth to sister-in-law, who is this person?"

Uh, she didn't believe it.

Du Ruohong is so smart, this is normal.

"A distant relative indeed."

"Tsk, you're still hiding things from me.

I tell you, this man has extraordinary temperament, even Qin Yuliang can't compare to him, you must seize the opportunity."

"Sister-in-law, please don't talk nonsense."

Liu Yunshuang was about to get angry. What would happen if Qiao Yiqi heard this? She was a divorced rural woman with three children, and she was dreaming of such a handsome man.

"I'm not kidding. If I didn't have any feelings, why would I be at your house during the New Year?"

"Oh, you don't know what's going on. We can't just talk about other people's families.

Don’t say anything nonsense later, it will be bad if others hear it.”

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you then."

Liu Yunshuang quickly gave her some salt and wrapped it in a piece of paper.

The two returned to the main room, and Qiao Yiqi also went to the east room.

She didn't know why Du Ruohong thought that way, and always found it a little unbelievable.

As they were talking, Li Yuelan also came with her own child.

Not long after, Li Shuixian also came.

She sent the children at home out to wish Zhang Changming and others a happy New Year.

Children still get a lot of candy when they go out.

So, everyone is willing to go out for a run.

She won't go out this year, and the third master and third aunt in the backyard have also gone to their son's home in the city.

There is no senior person who needs her to go.

It just so happens that Qiao Yiqi is here, so we can’t be too rude. It’s not right to leave him alone at home.

When there are more people, just say a few more words.

But no red envelopes were given, just some candies.

Seeing that there were people at home, they didn't stay for long.

Du Ruohong also followed him, she was speechless.

"It's good now. Everyone knows that there is a man in my house."

Qiao Yiqi smiled, his voice soft.

"What are you afraid of? I'm your cousin!"

Liu Yunshuang rolled her eyes at him. She seemed so serious, but he had the nerve to tease her.

"I'm not afraid that it will have a bad impact on you?

What if someone takes a fancy to you and spreads this matter? It will be very embarrassing! "

This is what is called gossip. Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean others can face it calmly.

"Only you don't mind and are willing to take me in during the New Year.

Don't worry, I will repay you later."

"hehe!"

Liu Yunshuang responded with a forced smile and went to clean the table.

"I'm serious. If you have any trouble, just tell me..."

…

The heavy snow stopped on the first night of the New Year. The children were all sitting in the house, warming themselves by the brazier. No one went out.

The next morning, Qiao Yiqi got up early and started helping to sweep the snow.

Liu Yunshuang heard the noise and got up as well.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man waving a big broom and sweeping the stone road she had paved.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The white snow set off his black tweed coat. His profile was angular and had smooth lines, just like the star posters she saw in later life.

"Are you up?"

Noticing the person at the door, he turned sideways and smiled.

Because of the cold, the tip of my nose is a little red.

"Well, let me do it!"

As Liu Yunshuang said this, she came over and prepared to take the broom from his hand.

"No, just go and cook, I'll be fine."

"That's so inappropriate~"

“It’s appropriate, I’m your cousin, the children’s uncle.

This little bit of work can still be done.”

Uh, this guy is actually addicted.

Liu Yunshuang didn't want to say more. It wouldn't hurt to just sweep the snow anyway.

"Then let's eat noodles, okay?"

"good!"

Everyone eats dumplings on the first day of the New Year and noodles on the second day this way.

Last night, I stewed big bones, and today I used bone broth to cook it. It tasted amazing.

Normally, the second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to return to one’s parents’ home.

It is estimated that Liu Yulu will not be able to come back. It is so far away and there is heavy snow, which are all problems.

She still feels a little lonely, and sometimes she really thinks that not marrying far away is also a benefit.

There was no other way at the time, and Father Liu also hoped to stay away so that people would talk less.

Several people ate the steaming noodles with satisfied looks on their faces.

Especially Qiao Yiqi, who actually ate three big bowls.

Liu Yunshuang stopped eating later because she was afraid it wouldn’t be enough.

"Your craftsmanship is really good..."

"Eat more if you like. There's more."

“That’s enough!”

After spending these two days together, the two of them naturally talked more.

After dinner, he went to teach a few children new words.

Liu Yunshuang took the opportunity to come over and water the remaining vegetables with some spiritual spring water.

Everything was fine, but then a discordant sound suddenly came from the door.

Xu Lanchun came uninvited, followed by Xu Zhiwei, Xu Lanhe, Qin Yuliang and others.

By the time she saw him, the person had already come in.

Just now, Qiao Yiqi swept the door and did not close it.

"Aunt, Happy New Year."

Before she could ask any questions, Xu Zhiwei took the lead in wishing everyone a happy new year.

It seems that this child has improved a lot under the systematic training.

"Happy New Year to you too, and don't call me aunt anymore. There is no such name anymore."

He looked at the group of people in front of him with neither humility nor arrogance.

"It's New Year's Day, are you guys here to cause trouble?"

"No, aunt, you see I'm so used to calling you that, I don't know how to change it.

We came back to visit grandma today, so we thought we'd come see you too."

Hearing this, she simply waved her hand.

"That's not necessary~"
