Chapter 390: This is social phobia, right? Kind of cute!
Wen Jiu teased Lu Beiye with a smile, causing Lu Beiye to reach out and pinch her mouth, "Stop talking. If you breathe in the cold air again, you'll complain to me that your throat hurts at night."
After hearing what Lu Beiye said, Wen Jiu completely shut up.
The wind in the morning was like a knife.
It hurts wherever I scrape!
When they got into the car, Lu Kitano opened his clothes, put the wine bag inside to warm it up, and touched her face and hands until they were warm before he let her go. He let her sit down and drove away.
Chu Xiuli had basically prepared all the things for the New Year, and they were all stuffed in the car when she left home yesterday. However, Wen Jiu felt that it was a little unfestive. After all, this was the first New Year she and Lu Beiye had spent together, so she should make good use of it.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What are the customs for celebrating the New Year in your hometown?"
"No customs."
"It's just about removing dust and making tofu, having a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve and eating dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year. I basically forgot about a lot of other things." Lu Beiye drove attentively while taking the time to answer Wen Jiu's questions seriously.
"That's about right!"
I will arrange everything for you as I wish. Just wait and see the surprise I have prepared!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
The two of them bought some rice, flour, kerosene and rapeseed oil at the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as some meat and some daily necessities for the family and then went home.
When Lu Beiye went to the army, Wen Jiu paced back and forth in the palm-sized space of his home, thinking about how to renovate it during the New Year. He scribbled and drew on paper over and over again, more seriously than when he drew the designs for clothes before.
When Sun Mingzhu arrived, she saw Wen Jiu sitting at the dining table, concentrating on drawing, and he didn't even notice that she came in.
Or should she go first?
But now that we are here...
How should I call him or say it?
She had never talked to Wenjiu alone before, always with other sisters-in-law. She was a little confused when she suddenly came here alone.
She stood there thinking for a long time, until her head was about to explode, and then she stammered, "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, do you want window paper-cuts? I cut too many and can't use them all."
My husband at home said that it’s okay to call anyone sister-in-law given her age in the family compound.
Is this the correct name?
Wen Jiu heard someone talking and turned around to find that it was Sun Mingzhu. She quickly stood up and pulled a chair for Sun Mingzhu. "I haven't seen you for a long time. Your skin seems to have become much whiter. Come and sit down. I'll get some melon seeds and we can talk slowly. I was thinking about cutting paper-cuts!"
"Let's talk, you teach me."
To be honest, Sun Mingzhu was reluctant. She was afraid of dealing with people. Even her husband had lived with her for several months after they got married, and she was not afraid to talk to him.
But since Wenjiu had said so, she had no choice but to sit down as if a thorn in her back, holding the basket tightly in her arms.
After warming the wine and getting the melon seeds and the earthenware pot for boiling tea, he came back and saw Sun Mingzhu's actions, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This is social phobia, right?
Kind of cute!
"Don't be afraid, I don't eat people. You teach me how to cut paper-cuts, and I make tea for you. The fruit tea I make is delicious."
After she finished speaking, Sun Mingzhu's face turned even redder, and she wished she could bury her head in her stomach.
He had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to wash the pears and apples, cut them into pieces, put them into a clean earthenware jar, added water, took it outside and put it on the stove to boil, then went back to the room to find paper and scissors.
She loves eating fruits, and whenever she sees them, she will buy some and keep them. Roasted pears and roasted apples taste very good, fragrant and sweet.
"I don't have red paper at home, can you teach me how to cut with white paper first?"
Sun Mingzhu handed the basket to Wenjiu and said, "I still have a lot of haircuts..."
She spoke in a very low voice and never raised her head to look at the ground.
Wen Jiu took the basket, put it on the ground, and said to Sun Mingzhu with a smile, "Thank you, but this is the first year that Captain Lu and I have been married, and it is also the first time we have spent the New Year together. I want to learn how to cut it myself and give him a surprise."
After hearing Wen Jiu say this, Sun Mingzhu understood what she meant.
Nodded and said, "Okay."
As she spoke, she picked up the paper and started to fold it very slowly. Wenjiu followed suit, but the paper was very obedient in Sun Mingzhu's hands, but it lacked some interest in her hands. Not to mention cutting, even the folded paper was crooked, which made Sun Mingzhu unable to help but look at her a few more times.
Wen Jiushao's face flushed, "You take a rest first and I'll try it myself."
Wen Jinyan always calls her a fool...
It seems that I was right!
Leaving her familiar territory, everything was a mess for her without Lu Beiye.
Sun Mingzhu said weakly: "Um... you seem to have held the paper upside down..."
The window grilles are diamond-shaped.
If you hold it upside down, you can't cut it.
Wen Jiu looked down and saw that it was true. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He put the things down impatiently and said, "Take a break. Let's drink some tea to warm up before cutting!"
The tea on the stove was already bubbling, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of fruit and tea.
She stirred the tea with a spoon, added a little honey to mix it, then picked up the earthenware pot with a rag and poured the tea into the prepared enamel cup.
The orange-red tea soup looks beautiful and has a rich aroma.
"Do you like it?" Wenjiu picked up the glass and handed it to Sun Mingzhu.
"Drink slowly, it's hot."
Sun Mingzhu nodded, lowered her head to blew on the wine, then slowly took a sip. Her eyes lit up, she looked up at the warm wine, then lowered her head to concentrate on drinking the tea in her hand.
Wenjiu saw the look in her eyes and knew what she meant, and immediately felt very proud.
Look!
This is talent!
She was still somewhat useful.
After drinking a cup of fruit tea, Wenjiu's confidence returned a lot. When he picked up the paper and scissors to learn from Sun Mingzhu again, he felt that it seemed much easier than before.
After studying for a whole morning, she was finally able to cut out several complete patterns.
Seeing Wenjiu's ecstatic expression, Sun Mingzhu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Teaching others is more tiring than learning by herself!
"Thank you, Mingzhu. I'll go to town to buy some red paper to cut when I have time."
Sun Mingzhu whispered, "You're welcome. I can also make lanterns. Do you want to learn?"
After eating so much warm wine and drinking the tea she made, and then teaching him how to cut paper-cuts, she felt a little guilty.
"Can you also make lanterns?"
Wenjiu's voice became louder in surprise, "Mingzhu, you are so amazing!"
Sun Mingzhu blushed at the compliment, "I learned this from my dad. He used to make a lot of lanterns and sell them on the street when the Chinese New Year was approaching."
Made of red paper and with candles inside, the lanterns her father made were beautiful and very popular. They sold very quickly on the street and he could make a lot of money every year from the end of the year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
