"Xia'er, why are you silent? You haven't eaten enough to eat. I'm so angry about you!"
Luo Da'e turned around and came to the bedside to complain to Zhou Xia.
Her thoughts were interrupted, Zhou Xia raised her eyes and glanced at Luo Daye a little unhappy.
Then, he snorted.
"Mother, mother, what do you want me to say about you?" Zhou Xia said.
"If the meal is not full, the chicken will not be fat, so we have to take a long-term view!" she said.
"What do you mean?" Luo Da'e asked.
Zhou Xia curled her lips, and her smile was meaningful under the light, with a depth that belied her age.
"As I said before, as long as I take my cousin down, everything in this family will belong to us. By then, are we still worried about missing your food?" she asked.
Luo Daye suddenly realized,
Then he curled his lips and said: "The idea is good, but it is so difficult to do. Look, he still ran away tonight!"
Zhou Xia was not discouraged at all.
"If you can run this time, you won't be able to run the next time. There will definitely be a chance!"
…
The next day, during breakfast, Blacksmith Luo ordered a list of gifts for Luo Fengtang.
The gifts on the list are all based on the customs of this area.
In order to fear that Blacksmith Luo would make any omissions, Luo Da'e volunteered herself and also helped make plans.
After breakfast, Blacksmith Luo went straight to Yang Huazhong's construction site to help start the work.
Luo Fengtang drove the carriage to the town to buy gifts.
Luo Daye and Zhou Xia stayed at home to look after the house.
In the middle of the morning, Luo Fengtang came back with his carriage.
At that time, Luo Daye was eating melon seeds in the main room, and the skins of melon seeds were everywhere.
Zhou Xia sat aside and gave Luo Fengtang his shoes.
Hearing the sound of the wheel stopping at the door of the yard, Luo Da'e's eyes lit up, she threw away the melon seeds in her hand and rushed outside the house like a gust of wind.
"Ah, Tang Yazi is back? Let me take a look at what you have bought!"
Amidst Luo Da'e's whirring voice, Luo Fengtang strode into the house.
Zhou Xia saw that both of his hands were carrying a pile of bundled gifts.
There are still some under the armpits.
How much does it cost to buy large and small bags?
Zhou Xia thought.
My cousin is really generous to his father-in-law.
Yang Ruoqing, Yang Ruoqing, why are you so lucky!
Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, Zhou Xia put down her shoes and stood up, looking at Luo Fengtang with a smile.
"Cousin, are you exhausted? Xia'er will pour you a bowl of tea."
She turned around and was about to pour tea, but Luo Fengtang called out to her.
"Don't worry, I'm not thirsty." He said.
"I'll go to the toilet first and deliver the gifts later."
After saying these words, he carried his things into the east room and quickly came out. He left the main room and went to the toilet in the backyard.
Zhou Xia looked at his back, secretly pouted, sat back, and then put her shoes away.
Luo Da'e watched Luo Fengtang walk away and quickly entered the east room.
In the east room, all those things were placed on the table in front of the bed.
Luo Da'e rummaged around.
She helped her eldest brother draw up the list, including fish, meat, red dates, longans, peanuts, brown sugar, white noodles, etc...
Luo Da'e dug out those on the list, and also dug out a few packages that were not on the list.
Osmanthus cake, water chestnut cake, sugar dime, maltose...
Return a pair of red headbands.
Come on, these snack cakes were bought by your nephew for that Qing girl, right?
That brat loves his wife so much in his heart, not even the slightest bit as a aunt like her!
Luo Da'e was very unhappy and took out a handkerchief of her own.
I took out a piece of every pastry in front of me and put it in my handkerchief to hide it.
"cousin……"
Zhou Xia's voice suddenly came from the hall.
Luo Daye tensed up, knowing that Luo Fengtang was coming in.
She quickly put the things in their original places, pretending to look on and count them as if nothing had happened.
"Gu, what are you doing here?"
After Luo Fengtang entered the room, he saw Luo Da'e standing next to the pile of gifts.
He was surprised for a moment, then asked with an alert look on his face.
Luo Da'e smiled and said: "Hey, I'm going to help you count the gifts to see if you missed anything."
Luo Fengtang still looked dubious.
He didn't ask any questions and just came over to pick up the pile of things.
"I went over to give gifts. If you don't come home for dinner at noon, my aunt and cousin can eat by themselves."
After saying these words, he walked out of the house and out of the yard without looking back.
From beginning to end, his eyes did not glance towards Zhou Xia.
Zhou Xia's resentful eyes kept chasing his figure.
"hiss……"
There was a sudden sharp pain in my fingers.
She came to her senses and looked down.
The needle pricked his finger, and bright red blood seeped out.
She frowned, put her fingers in her mouth and sucked gently.
At this time, Luo Daye came out of the east room with an excited face.
She first glanced at the door of the courtyard outside the house and saw that Luo Fengtang had already driven away in his carriage.
Luo Daye hurried over and closed the courtyard door, then ran back to the main room and came to Zhou Xia.
"Xia'er, look what this is!"
Luo Daye took out the bulging handkerchief as if it were a treasure.
Revealed in front of Zhou Xia.
A sweet fragrance penetrated Zhou Xia's nose.
She saw that the veil was full of delicate cakes.
"It smells so good, is this..." Zhou Xia asked.
Luo Daye said excitedly: "I picked it out from those gifts. Come on, Xia'er has a try!"
Zhou Xia nodded with a smile and stood up: "It's not good to be bumped into. Come and eat in the house."
The mother and daughter hid in the west room and ate cakes behind closed doors.
"Mom, why don't you eat?"
Zhou Xia asked Luo Daye.
Luo Da'e shook her head: "Mom likes fish but not cakes. If Xia'er likes it, she will eat it all."
Zhou Xia was startled.
Such delicious cakes, when I was at Zhou's house, I would get one or two pieces from Nai during festivals.
In order to get those one or two pieces of cake, she didn't know how much effort she had to put in to coax her milk.
Now that Nai Nai has passed away, there is no need to coax him, and he will naturally not be able to eat it.
"Mom, why don't you take a piece too!"
Zhou Xia picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Luo Daye.
Luo Da'e still shook her head: "Mom is a rough person. It will be ruined by eating these exquisite pastries. I, Xia'er, will eat it!"
Zhou Xia stopped trying to persuade her and started eating.
This pastry is really delicious, soft, glutinous and sweet.
It’s great to have money, you can eat all this.
Yang Ruoqing is so lucky. I must grab my cousin and let him buy me these pastries to pamper me!
The more Zhou Xia ate, the deeper the jealousy in her heart became.
In the end, it seemed that the cake was imagined to be Yang Ruoqing.
He grabbed a whole one and stuffed it into his mouth.
I nearly choked several times.
"Xia'er, eat slowly. No one is trying to fight you. Come on, come on, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
Luo Daye brought the tea bowl over and Zhou Xia took a few sips.
All the cakes in the veil went into her stomach.
I haven’t had such a satisfying meal in a long time.
