The pastry was not big, and Zhang Xiuyuan finished it quickly.
He raised his eyes and met his wife's burning gaze, which made him feel helpless.
"What's wrong?" he asked, blinking. Under the candlelight, his clear eyes were like a deer in the woods.
"There's some pastry stuck here." Zhao Chuchu tapped the corner of his lips with her fingertips.
Zhang Xiuyuan cried out "Ah", and felt a little shy after he realized what was happening. He quickly reached out to wipe it off, but the next second his hand was held and the woman's breath leaned over.
The tip of his tongue swept across the corner of his lips, rolling away the pastry crumbs.
Zhang Xiuyuan opened his eyes wide.
The warmth and moisture at the corners of his lips reminded him of the man's rogue behavior just now.
"You, you..." Zhang Xiuyuan was speechless, his face flushed for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Chuchu's eyes showed an innocent look, and she even spit out two words complacently, "So sweet."
Zhang Xiuyuan's ears turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You hooligan."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left as if escaping.
Zhao Chuchu smiled and followed him, and the two of them entered the main room one after the other.
When Zhao Chuchu entered the main room, Zhang Xiuyuan was distributing cakes to Mr. Zhang and the two children.
Knowing that Brother Yuan would definitely think of others when he had something delicious, Zhao Chuchu bought more.
Her husband always considers his family more important than himself.
However, she, Zhao Chuchu, gradually became his family.
When Zhang Xiuyuan heard Zhao Chuchu's footsteps, he didn't even look at her. It was unclear whether he was angry about what had just happened in the kitchen or was shy.
Zhao Chuchu didn't make fun of him either.
Until the evening, when the two had finished bathing, Zhao Chuchu took off her purse under the oil lamp and placed it in front of Zhang Xiuyuan.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xiuyuan was wearing his coat and sitting on the edge of the bed folding clothes. He looked at the purse in front of him and asked with his head tilted in confusion.
Zhao Chuchu sat at the table, poured a glass of boiled water and took a sip.
"This is the remaining money after buying things today. I'm giving it to you for safekeeping. By the way, there is another thing in it." Zhao Chuchu said mysteriously.
He drank the water in one gulp, walked to the bed, sat opposite Zhang Xiuyuan, opened his purse and took out the contents.
Under the oil lamp, the thing had a metallic luster.
It was actually a copper hairpin.
Nowadays, the cheapest jewelry in the Great Sheng Dynasty is made of wood, followed by copper, and the most expensive are silver, jade and gold.
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan received their marriage certificate. Although they haven't had a wedding yet, they are officially husband and wife.
The two had been together for a while, but she had never given Yuan Ge'er a decent gift.
Even the fifty taels of betrothal money was not earned by her.
Only these one hundred and fifty-two cents today were the first money she had earned since she came to this world.
She couldn't wait to give her husband a gift.
She wanted to buy a jade hairpin. Yuan Ge'er was as elegant as jade, with a cool temperament, and jade was the most suitable for him. But she couldn't afford a jade hairpin now.
She didn't want to buy a cheap and simple wooden hairpin, so she had to settle for the next best thing and bought a copper hairpin.
The copper hairpin is carved with a bamboo leaf, which looks pretty good. Of course, it would be even better if it were made of jade.
"Brother Yuan, with my current ability, I can only buy you a copper hairpin, but don't worry, I will work hard. In the future, I will definitely buy you many jade hairpins so that you can change them every day."
Zhang Xiuyuan took the copper hairpin from Zhao Chuchu's hand.
