Mi Rou smiled nonchalantly, "This spoon is too flimsy, I'll go to the kitchen and get a new one."
Shi Xi and Shi Hao looked at each other in bewilderment.
Before we knew it, the New Year had arrived.
Red lanterns were hung in all the major shopping malls, creating a festive atmosphere.
Early in the morning, the Shi family got up very early and busied themselves putting up Spring Festival couplets.
Shi Hao stood in front of the door, arms crossed, directing Di Chenxiao and Shi Han to paste up the couplets.
Shi Han: "Master Chen, your couplet is pasted crookedly."
Shi Hao: "Those are the couplets you put up."
Di Chenxiao jumped off the bench and looked at the Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the gate. One side was straight, and the other side was crooked.
Clearly, the couplets on both sides were not pasted in place.
Di Chenxiao carried a stool to paste the Spring Festival couplets in the inner room.
Shi Hao, carrying the remaining Spring Festival couplets, followed behind Di Chenxiao.
Shi Han was left alone, facing the crooked couplet.
"You've all left, and nobody's been telling me whether this couplet is right or wrong!"
Shi Han was afraid of being scolded by his parents, so he could only climb up and down to check if the couplets were correct.
He wanted to jump off the bench to check if the couplet was aligned correctly, but a cold voice came from behind him, "Move it a little to the right, and move the left side of the couplet up fifteen degrees."
He followed the instructions given by the person behind him, and the couplets on both sides of the door were finally aligned correctly.
"Thirteen, you're much better than Di Chenxiao, who's heartless and ruthless, actually..."
Thirteen looked at Shi Han coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in his dark eyes, "You are not allowed to speak ill of the master."
Shi Han: "..."
He forgot that Thirteen was Di Chenxiao's subordinate.
"I mean, Master Chen is indeed Master Chen; he even puts up the couplets better than I do."
What's so good about Di Chenxiao?
His parents protected Di Chenxiao, Xiao Xi protected Di Chenxiao, and even Thirteen protected Di Chenxiao.
He's just a pitiful second son who nobody cares about or loves!
Thirteen tried to bypass Shi Han, but Shi Han grabbed her arm.
She looked at Shi Han, who had stopped her, with a puzzled expression.
Shi Han quickly let go, afraid that if he was any slower, he would be beaten!
He took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Thirteen.
"This...this is...a New Year's gift for you. Please take it."
Thirteen accepted the New Year's gift from Shi Han with a blank expression. Before she could even say anything, Shi Han ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in front of her.
She opened the box, inside which was a pair of dark black earrings.
She was exasperated. She didn't have pierced ears, so she should just throw them away!
After walking to the trash can and hesitating for a moment, I put the gift box in my pocket.
Shi Han knew that Shisan didn't have pierced ears, but he thought the black earrings were very pretty and suited Shisan well, so he bought them for her.
Shi Xijian seemed to be in a daze, as if she was thinking about something.
"Thirteen, is something bothering you? You can tell me, don't keep it to yourself. Don't worry, no matter what it is, I won't tell anyone."
Thirteen touched her ears, lowered her eyes and said, "Miss, I want to... get my ears pierced."
Shi Xi thought she had misheard. "Say it again. I didn't hear you clearly. What do you want?"
"Get your ears pierced."
Shi Xi was sure she hadn't misheard, "You have personal freedom, you can do whatever you want, you don't need to ask me."
"However, the weather is cold now, and wounds don't heal easily. How about we wait until spring when the flowers bloom, and I'll take you to get your ears pierced?"
Winter temperatures are very low, and even people without wounds are prone to frostbite, let alone those with wounds.
Thirteen blushed slightly, but her eyes were firm as she said, "I think I'll get my ears pierced now."
She feared that when spring arrived and flowers bloomed, she wouldn't have the courage to do this foolish thing.
