"Okay," Chen Tan picked up the wooden box decisively, "You haven't slept for a long time, your breath is bad."
Hearing this, Qin Li's smug smile froze on his face. Thinking about how he had just spoken to her so closely, his neck and ears turned red with embarrassment.
He pushed Chen Tan's back and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm almost dying of sleep."
Chen Tan curled his lips and returned to the bedroom next door.
She put the hairpin into the wardrobe Qin Li made for her, and when she closed the door, she put it back into the space.
In the next room, Qin Li came to the bed, lifted the quilt, and was about to lie down when he found a pair of large slippers crocheted with black and blue wool next to the pillow.
He picked up the slippers and looked at them over and over again. He wanted to try them on, but was reluctant to put them on the floor. Finally, he stood on the bed to try them on and found that they were the perfect size.
He hugged his slippers and lay down in bed with a silly smile, "Haha, you little girl who says one thing but means another."
Every young woman in the village knows that making shoes for a man is a hint to him to propose marriage soon.
If you really have no feelings for me, why did you make shoes for me?
He hugged his shoes tightly and had a sweet dream all night.
When he woke up the next day, he taught Chen Tan a new set of boxing techniques.
But his new moves were so sticky that they almost resembled close-up instruction.
Chen Tan almost broke down. Wasn't what he said last night clear enough?
"Brother, it's getting late. I have to go cook first. If I wait, it will be too late to go into the city."
She fled into the kitchen and wanted to roll noodles, but accidentally added too much water, and the dough turned into batter, so she could only make egg and oil buns.
Qin Li was not a shameless person. He just wanted to be close to her, but he had no intention of desecrating her.
Seeing her shyly escape into the kitchen, he also blushed and picked up the bucket of water and went to the mountain stream behind the house.
He filled several large vats in the front and back yards, and the agarwood rice was ready.
At this time, Wu Xia came over with a basket of pottery jars.
There was also a bowl of sour cowpeas and dried radish on top.
She is good at pickling vegetables. Her pickled sauerkraut, sour cowpea and Chinese mustard greens are beautiful in color and taste good. Even Chen Tan likes them.
Farmers have no shortage of these, and Wu Xia always brings one or two of them every time she comes.
After putting down the basket, she took out a piece of red paper and walked up to Qin Qiuniang who was basking in the sun in the yard.
"Aunt, could you please take a look at the horoscopes of these two children?"
She spoke very softly. When Qin Li took the egg pancake that Chen Tan made for Wu Xia, he was surprised to see the name on the red paper.
"Is Xiaozi and Liang Zhiqing's relationship settled?"
"Well, it's done," Wu Xia said, looking at Chen Tan with gratitude. "I asked Liang Zhiqing last night if she was willing to marry Xiaozi. She agreed, so I thought about getting married during the New Year. It would be more lively to have one more person at home during the New Year."
Qin Li smiled and nodded, with envy flashing in his eyes. He said he was still pestering her the day before yesterday, but today he got her. He is so capable.
It seems his shameless tactics are quite useful.
Qin Qiuniang held the red paper, pondered for a long time, and even calculated with her hands for a while.
"These two are a perfect match, and will both be blessed with great fortune in the future. Let's set the date on the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Okay, there's still a month or so left, so it's urgent."
Wu Xia was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
While the two were chatting, Chen Tan went to the backyard and filled a ceramic jar with 200 grams each of the whitening and freckle-removing mask and frostbite cream.
I took a piece of tea bran soap with a flower shape.
Even if I can't expand the sales of these things through Li Qiong, I can still make friends with the help of these things.
No matter how you look at it, it's worth it.
The two of them wrapped themselves tightly and set off with their belongings.
Qin Li also took out thirty eggs from the house and gave them to her. "We don't need these at home. Give them to Zhijie."
"Okay." Chen Tan's heart wall collapsed silently in response to his thoughtfulness and attentiveness.
There were not many people on the ox cart today, only a few educated youth living in the brigade headquarters.
One of them is Liang Yujin.
This time she looked at Shen Tan with a little more intimacy and even sat next to Shen Tan on purpose.
"Hello, Chen Tan, my name is Liang Yujin."
Liang Yujin smiled faintly, and the light in his eyes was much brighter than last time.
Chen Tan smiled and nodded, "Hello, are you going to the county town too?"
It seems that she was willing to marry Wei Xiao, otherwise she wouldn't be smiling so happily.
"Yeah." Liang Yujin seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of shame flashed in his eyes.
Chen Tan wanted to talk to her, but it was not convenient for them to talk about their common topics in a crowded place.
His eyes glanced at her hands, and an idea suddenly occurred to him, "Oh, your hands are frozen too. Some time ago, my hands were frozen and blistered, and I cured them with the frostbite cream I bought from Doctor Xie."
As Chen Tan spoke, he took off his gloves and raised his smooth hands, "Look, all the frostbite on my hands is gone."
"Have you really had frostbite?" Liang Yujin widened her eyes in surprise. Why didn't she believe it?
This hand is exactly what is described in the book, a hand with ten fingers that has never been touched by water.
But yesterday Aunt Wu said that this girl was Chen Caihua, whom Qin Li married from the Shen family, and she changed her name to Chen Tan.
She had seen Chen Caihua when she was working before. Not only was she dark-skinned, but her hands were dry and rough, covered with calluses.
How could it be so fair and smooth?
A young woman who was listening to the gossip nearby looked at Chen Tan's hand and interrupted:
"Comrade, you're not kidding, are you? Are the medicines Dr. Xie has really that good?"
"I don't need to lie to you," Chen Tan put on gloves slowly, "You'll know if it works if you try it. But the ointment is very expensive, two yuan per liang, plus one liang of sugar coupons. My eldest brother bought me three liang, and the chilblains on my hands are all healed."
Give them a heads-up in advance so that they don’t feel rejected when they ask for the price.
