Lunar New Year's eve.
The moment Song Yuehua woke up in the morning, a brand new bright red cotton coat was placed on her pillow.
"Sister, today is your birthday. This is a new dress that Xiaoyu and I made for you. Come and try it on!" Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu looked at her excitedly.
Song Yuehua covered her mouth and asked in surprise, "When did you..."
Is this what I've been doing every night recently?
Song Yuehua was deeply moved as it was the first time she received a birthday present in her two lifetimes.
After asking, I found out that the cotton cloth was exchanged by Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu by selling their handkerchiefs, and the clothes were secretly sewed by the two of them every night.
Although she didn't know why they chose bright red, Song Yuehua couldn't wait to put it on.
"Hey, hey, make way!"
As soon as they arrived at the main room, Xie Wenwu brought a freshly baked cake. The rich aroma of the cake made Dabao drool.
Granny Wang rolled out a bowl of longevity noodles and put two crispy poached eggs in it. Song Yuehua didn't have time to wash up, and the noodles would become clumpy if she didn't eat them.
While I was sipping noodles, Zhu Yanli, Liu Xue and Bai Shu also came over.
"Little girl, you've grown up again!" Zhu Yanli said with a smile, taking out a pair of hair flowers. "You look so shabby all day long. As a little girl, you should wear red and green. This hair flower will definitely suit you."
Song Yuehua was stunned. If she remembered correctly, this was the hair flower that Zhu Yanli gave to Xiaobao.
Meeting Song Yuehua's incredulous gaze, Zhu Yanli looked away guiltily.
What could she do? She had nothing left.
Moreover, she just found out from Xie Wenwu yesterday, so she doesn’t have the time to prepare for it right now.
A pair of red hands handed over a bunch of red plums. Liu Xue said shyly, "Master, a birthday gift."
Song Yuehua took the plum branch and said with a smile, "It smells really good. I like it very much. Is there any plum tree nearby?"
"There's none nearby. My sister picked them from the next village." Bai Shu said from the side.
Song Yuehua held Liu Xue's hand, which was as cold as ice, and frowned, "You don't have to torture yourself like this. Being happy is the most important thing."
On New Year's Eve, everyone took a bath and changed into new clothes.
Song Yuehua wore a bright red cotton coat and the hair flower given by Zhu Yanli. She was red from head to toe. When she looked at herself in a basin of water, she felt like she was going to get married in the next second.
When Xie Feng came to pick up Xiaoyu and Xie Wenwu, he saw Song Yuehua and was stunned for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting married today." Song Yuehua joked.
"It looks good. The red color suits you very well." Xie Feng smiled and took out a longbow from his back and handed it to Song Yuehua, "A gift."
The moment Song Yuehua took it, she felt that it was different from the previous longbows. Looking closely at the bow, she couldn't tell what it was made of. "What is this?"
"The bow of the King of Mo." Xie Feng said.
I've heard before that the people of the Desert Kingdom are good at riding and shooting, so their bows and arrows are naturally extraordinary. It must have taken a lot of effort for ordinary people to get such bows and arrows.
Song Yuehua felt that she shouldn't be so shameless to accept it, but she really wanted it.
If it weren't for her waist injury, she would have wanted to try two arrows.
"Uncle, this is too valuable. I can't accept it." Song Yuehua refused reluctantly.
Xie Feng said, "Except for you, no one else can use it."
Song Yuehua was very conflicted, but finally said shamelessly, "Then I'll accept it. I'll roast a few ducks for you some other day. Please don't refuse, Second Uncle."
Reciprocity.
Just roasting a duck certainly won’t do, and I can’t find a gift to repay in the short term. I always feel like the favor I owe is getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing the tangle on Song Yuehua's face, Xie Feng whispered, "Okay."
After taking Song Yuehua's pulse, Xie Feng took the brother and sister home.
The occasional shaking of the ox cart could not stop Xie Wenwu from talking.
"Uncle, have you bought the piglets? We'll have roast suckling pig for New Year's Eve dinner. Stewed goose in an iron pot would also be good."
Thinking that he could cook New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family, Xie Wenwu was looking forward to it. "The chef said they would eat dumplings tonight. Xiaoyu, do you think we should eat dumplings too?"
Xie Yu asked, "Can we finish all the dishes we cook?"
Xie Wenwu laughed and said, "With my father and second uncle here, we can finish eating both pigs."
The brother and sister looked at their second uncle together. Xie Feng was driving the ox cart without saying a word.
Xie Yu came close to Xie Wenwu and whispered, "Why do I feel that my second uncle is in a bad mood?"
"When has Second Uncle ever felt better?" Xie Wenwu asked back.
It seems to be the case, but I feel like something is wrong.
Xie Yu said, "Second Uncle already had a bad face, and now he looks even worse."
Xie Feng, who has very good hearing, "..."
Xie Wenwu clicked his tongue twice and said, "So, there's a reason why my second uncle can't get married."
Xie Yu glanced at Xie Feng's back cautiously and made a hushing gesture to Xie Wenwu.
Xie Wenwu couldn't stop talking, so he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the little girl of the Zheng family in the next village has fallen in love with my second uncle. What do you think..."
The ox cart bumped and the brother and sister fell all over the place. The worst off was Xie Wenwu, whose tongue was bitten hard. He cried out in pain with his tongue sticking out.
On the night of the 30th, the Song family ate dumplings as usual.
Granny Wang and Madam Xia rolled out the dumpling wrappers, while Song Yuehua, Xiaoyu, Zhu Yanli, and Liu Xue were responsible for making the dumplings.
Bai Shu held the bowl, while Liu Shitou and Liu Xiaomian did odd jobs nearby.
The two teachers sat by the pot and cooked dumplings.
It was almost cooked, so everyone had a bowl and ate while it was cooked and chatted.
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy, Old Duan..." Master Yi said loudly to Master Duan after he had finished his meal.
How could Master Duan not understand? "Okay, okay, how about getting drunk tonight?"
