The few of them lived a relatively peaceful life for the time being, waiting for the Chinese New Year to come soon. Fu Qu's mentor was going to return to Xishan early. In order to let Ji Dabao get a better education, Fu Qu rarely went to the town shamelessly to ask for his help. The mentor accepted Ji Dabao.
The mentor stroked his snow-white beard and laughed at him, saying that he too had this day? The mistress also particularly likes Ji Dabao's chubby appearance. As the old man gets older, he feels that fat babies are lucky.
In this way, Shen Lianqing and Ji Mao were left in the Ji family, and Fu Qu was the only one next door to the Ji family. The two men bought back the materials, and with one hand holding a sword and the other holding a pen, they dexterously completed the lantern skeleton. , paste it with paper.
Fu Qu even drew the twelve zodiac signs such as rat, rabbit, dragon, and snake. Red lanterns were hung in the yard, and fine white snow fell. At night, there was a different atmosphere.
As a master of cooking, Fu Qu cooked the New Year's Eve dinner, while Ji Mao helped.
After dinner, several people gathered around the stove to wait for the early morning. As the elder, Shen Lianqing prepared New Year's money for both of them. As soon as the crackling firecrackers passed by, she gave the New Year's money to the two people beside her.
Fu Qu took the New Year's money from her, smiled, put it into his sleeve, and then took out the New Year's money he had prepared for her from the other sleeve. Of course, what he gave her was not on the same level as what she gave him.
Shen Lianqing took it happily, feeling that she had made a profit. Then she thought that she had emptied the Fu Qu family's money. How come he still has money?
Her happy face changed and she snorted, then turned to the other side and gave another piece of lucky money to Ji Mao. Ji Mao carefully took it and put it on his chest, and also gave her an overweight red envelope in return.
Shen Lianqing touched the silver wrapped in red cloth and thought that the amount was not light. It seemed that Ji Mao was really rich.
But the rest of Ji Mao’s money doesn’t belong to her!
Thinking of this, she also snorted at Ji Mao and put her hand on the charcoal fire to warm herself up. Ji Mao didn't know what happened to Shen Lianqing. He looked at Fu Qu and asked him what happened?
Fu Qu smiled and shook his head. Maybe it was too little?
The two of them also quietly followed her to warm up the fire. Their charcoal fire was charcoal from an ordinary red date tree kiln. The quality of the charcoal was neither too good nor too bad. The black charcoal gave off an orange-white flame during the burning process. .
They built a wall of bricks in the place where they burned charcoal, and connected it to a long small chimney. There was a space above it for people to heat a pot of water or bake something. They put some peanuts and red dates on it.
The night of the Spring Festival was not long, and everyone kept their eyes open. Shen Lianqing couldn't bear it anymore and was about to fall into the charcoal fire. Ji Mao and Fu Qu simultaneously extended their hands. In the end, Ji Mao was the better one if he was closer. .
He held her in his arms, found a comfortable position for her, and prepared to carry her into the room.
Fu Qu watched him leave without trying to stop him. He twisted his neck, touched the New Year's money given by Shen Lianqing in his sleeve, opened the door and jumped over the wall between the two houses.
The wind and snow are still there, and he believes that if Ji Mao doesn't resolve his current identity, they won't be able to truly be together.
There are plenty of opportunities for him.
*
Spring is coming, and there is still snow in the sky. Fu Qu goes out again for Ji Dabao's business, and Ji Mao goes up the mountain from time to time. Shen Lianqing is the only one left at home. She has nothing to do and turns over the house inside and out. Again.
It was better not to look for it, but when she found it, she was startled, so she just rummaged through it casually, and accidentally found the silver and gold he had buried in Ji Maung's house.
She stood in the room holding an iron catalpa, looking at the collapsed corner of the wall, and couldn't help but click her tongue. She knew that Ji Mao was not an ordinary person. He didn't hide his money well, and he was so easily exposed. Discover the place.
Really.
Fortunately, she, the sister-in-law, saw that it would be pitiful for others to not be able to take his property as their own. Shen Lianqing knelt down and looked at the gold inside the silver. She grabbed a handful and put it in her palm, carefully Looked and looked.
so cute.
She likes this kind of golden thing the most. It is so dangerous for Ji Mao to leave it here. As her sister-in-law, she must help him keep it safe first.
Shen Lianqing put it to his mouth and was about to take a bite, but he felt that it was a bit dirty because it was buried in the wall, so he picked up the iron catalpa and knocked it hard. There were marks on the real gold, and there was indeed a trace of the iron catalpa falling on the gold.
Wow.
real.
Shen Lianqing's eyes widened, and she directly held all the golden gold in her arms. This kid Ji Mao... he even got the gold without saying a word.
That's great. With gold, what is she going to do?
Buy a few luxury houses. The first thing the Chinese people do when they have money is to build houses. She also wants several houses, one in the east, west, north and south.
Then go to ancient teahouses, restaurants, and flower houses to experience the folk customs.
Also, go to the desert in the northwest, the water town in the south, and Penglai in the east...
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
A voice came from behind Shen Lianqing, which woke her up from her dream of getting rich. The gold in her hand fell with a clang and hit the ground with a clear sound.
Ji, Ji Mao?
Shen Lianqing's body stiffened. She slowly turned around and looked up at him, with a bright smile on her face, with eight standard teeth, "Amaung! Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is helping you clean the room. "
Ji Mao was carrying a basket on his back. There was some silver in the basket. Every time he went out, he would take more and less. In the past, he brought them back and buried them in the mountains. This time he decided to leave Jijia Village, so he dug them all out. .
The silver on his back was the last batch. It had been a long time since he came back, and he had been looking for it at the door of his room for a long time, starting from the time Shen Lianqing picked up the gold.
He watched her knock it again and again with an iron catalpa, and after confirming that it was indeed gold, he hugged it and smiled very happily.
Besides the iron catalpa beside her, there was also an object specially used to demolish the house. She said she would help him clean the room?
Ji Mao silently put down his backpack, walked up to her in a few steps, squatted down in front of her wandering and guilty eyes, held her hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it clean for her, "Sister-in-law."
"Um?"
Shen Lian's green eyebrows worked hard to move toward the center little by little, and she looked at him with a serious look, "Amaung, do you believe sister-in-law..."
"Yeah." Ji Mao was silent. After pulling her up, he said something while she was struggling to prove her innocence. Shen Lianqing was instantly elated.
He said, "These gold and silver are all beautiful. If you like them, sister-in-law, they are yours."
"Really?"
Shen Lianqing was so excited that she wanted to jump up. Well, since Ji Mao is so sensible, she doesn't have to go to great lengths to keep them for herself... Bah, she kept them for him.
She was about to squat down to admire them again, but Ji Mao held her hand, his gloomy eyebrows showed disapproval, "Sister-in-law, they have been left on the wall for too long, they are dirty."
