Chen Tan went into the kitchen, scooped a basin of hot water and started washing dishes, while Qin Li fed the leftovers to Heizi.
Qin Qiuniang looked at the two of them and went into the bedroom on her own initiative. The misunderstanding between the two had to be resolved by themselves.
After Qin Li fed Heizi, he took out a red cloth box from his pocket and placed it in front of Chen Tan. His usually cold eyes were now filled with the tender affection of the young man Mu Ai.
"New Year's gift, open it and take a look."
Chen Tan shook his head angrily, "I don't want it. You should give it to Auntie and Comrade Fang in the city."
Qin Li could already hear the sourness in her tone.
I felt extremely regretful, but it was too late.
He explained anxiously: "What city girl? I was just trying to piss you off. You're the only one in my heart. Can't you see that?"
"Humph, I can't tell!"
Chen Tan continued to be angry, and she didn't know what was wrong.
No matter what happened in her previous life, she was always calm and clear-headed, and would never lose her temper for things that were not worth it.
But today, she just couldn't control her anger, and she was angry for no reason.
She washed the dishes with a ping-pong sound, "I am your sister. Whoever you have in your heart has nothing to do with me."
"You little thing, I've grown up with nothing and nothing can stump me. I'm helpless against you. I've been so busy making that tower and this gift that I haven't even had time to eat. And you actually said that? You have no conscience."
Qin Li said this with gritted teeth, opened the red cloth box, and took out a golden necklace from it. The pendant on it was a golden lotus, exactly the same as the golden lotus in Shen Tan's space.
How could there be such a coincidence?
Chen Tan asked him in surprise, "Where did you buy this?"
It seems that these things cannot be sold at this time.
"I made it. I went to the county town these past two days to make a pyramid and a necklace for you."
Qin Li said proudly, holding the necklace, and stood behind Chen Tan, "Come, I'll put it on you."
When his eyes fell on her slender neck, as white as jade, his breathing stagnated and his eyes became deep.
The hand holding the necklace was slightly unsteady, and sweat was oozing from the palm.
He slowly opened his arms and stretched them to her chest, his brain uncontrollably thinking of her little bun.
My body felt tense and my breath became hot.
Feeling the heat on his neck, Chen Tan shrank his head and turned his body around.
She was trapped between the stove and Qin Li's chest.
Meeting his burning eyes, how could she not see what he was thinking? Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the anger in her heart was hard to dissipate.
"Qin Li, I don't care what you think, but you said we are brother and sister, you won't do anything to me. I don't care if you want to marry a wife, but please respect me and don't go out and flirt with others and then come home to tease me. It makes me feel sick."
At the end of her speech, she roared with excitement.
Qin Li really didn't expect her to get angry. He just stood there holding the necklace.
He worked non-stop for two days to make a necklace and a pyramid for her, just to give them to her on New Year's Day.
In the end, it became him who was disgusted.
"Chen Tan, you really have no conscience. When did I ever have an affair with someone else?
You were the one who asked for a pyramid. I worked so hard to build that tower, and you actually called me disgusting. I want to be disgusting. You've already been mine."
Qin Li was so angry that he put the necklace back into the red cloth box, threw it on the stove, and strode away.
He thought that as long as he was nice to her, he could warm her heart.
It seems that he was just being too sentimental.
Chen Tan was stunned. When did she say she wanted a pyramid?
No, she just said it casually when she went to the county town. Could it be that he took it seriously?
Did he really build her a pyramid?
God, what’s going on in his head? Does he want to bury her?
Hearing the two quarreling, Qin Qiuniang could only come out to check. When she found that Qin Li had left, she went to the kitchen and asked, "What happened? Did you quarrel with Qin Li?"
"Grandma, no, we were just talking a little louder."
Chen Tan didn't want the old man to worry.
Qin Qiuniang smiled and took up the red cloth box. After opening it, she picked up the necklace and looked at it carefully. "Hmm, the craftsmanship is good. It's really beautiful. He loves the golden lotus and says that the golden lotus has the Buddha nature."
"Buddha nature?"
Chen Tan muttered to herself, and thought of the monk, who was tall, had a kind face, and was full of Buddhist aura, which made her like him inexplicably, so she bought the Golden Lotus Peace Locket.
The old lady did not act as a lobbyist for Qin Li. When it comes to feelings, only two people can work together to achieve spiritual harmony. If the voices of outsiders are mixed in, it will not be pure.
It can't last long.
She stuffed the necklace into Chen Tan's hand and said, "Don't be polite to him. This is what you deserve. You've worked so hard in our house for half a year. It's nothing for him to buy you a gift. Take it."
"good."
Chen Tan took it and couldn't help blaming himself. Did he misunderstand him?
But what kind of pyramid did he build?
She cleaned the kitchen and prepared lunch.
People here always have a big lunch during the Chinese New Year. She and Qin Qiuniang made steamed pork with rice flour, lion's head, meatballs, roast chicken with mushrooms and boiled beef.
The last dish was specially made by Chen Tan.
Qin Qiuniang can't eat spicy food, and she has hardly ever cooked spicy food since Chen Tan came.
In her previous life, she didn't eat spicy food much. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but she had a bad stomach and couldn't eat spicy food.
Now, thanks to the spiritual spring water, my skin has improved, my internal organs are strong, and I can eat anything.
The meal was served, but Qin Li had not returned yet. After calming down for such a long time, Chen Tan was filled with regret. Why did she lose her temper so suddenly?
"Grandma, I'm going to Aunt Wu's house to see if my eldest brother is there?"
Qin Qiuniang nodded and said, "Well, go ahead. If there's nothing, forget it. We'll eat by ourselves and won't wait for him."
This brat needs to be taught a lesson. He ran outside after arguing with his wife. He really deserves a beating.
Chen Tan took off her homemade apron. Thinking it would be inappropriate to go to the Wei family and disturb them during the New Year, she packed a bowl of fried meatballs and took it with her.
The four members of the Wei family are having dinner. This year, their family has a new member, so the meal is extremely sumptuous.
When they saw Chen Tan coming, they were both surprised and delighted, thinking that Chen Tan had come to visit after dinner.
Wu Xia pulled her to the table and said, "Tan Nier, have some more food at your aunt's house."
"No, Auntie, our meal is ready, I..."
She looked around the Wei family's house, but Qin Li was not there. She turned to look at Wei Xiao and said, "I have something to ask my third brother."
"Looking for me?"
Wei Xiao was wearing a brand new blue jacket today and was diligently serving food to Liang Yujin. After hearing what Chen Tan said, he stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Third brother, come out for a moment, let's talk outside."
She was really embarrassed to say that she had made Qin Li angry and run away.
Wei Xiao followed her out of the yard with a confused look on his face. The other members of the Wei family also put down their chopsticks, frowning and looking puzzled.
Chen Tan took Wei Xiao to the hillside behind the Wei family's house. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, she told him about Qin Li being driven away by her.
