"Brother Kong, the winter solstice is tomorrow!"
"Hmm?" Kong Liu looked at Gu Chenxuan sitting next to him and asked, "Winter Solstice, what's wrong?"
"Aren't you and my sister in love?" Gu Chenxuan blinked her big round eyes, looked at Kong Liu, and said strangely: "Don't you take her out to eat during the winter solstice?"
"Aha?"
When Gu Chenxuan said this, Kong Liu seemed to have been opened up to Ren and Du. He nodded and said, "Yes, you have to eat dumplings during the winter solstice, right?"
Gu Chenxuan said: "Actually, I prefer eating glutinous rice balls, and my sister prefers dumplings."
There seems to have always been a dispute between the north and the south about what to eat on the Winter Solstice.
Wang Qi once told Kong Liu that people in the north eat dumplings during the winter solstice to prevent their ears from freezing in the winter.
But Chen Zhirui, a native of Yangcheng, said that they don’t eat dumplings during the Winter Solstice. Most of the time they eat glutinous rice balls, and there is no such thing as losing their ears from the cold.
After all, in places like Yangcheng, no matter how low the temperature is in winter, it is impossible to freeze your ears off in winter. There are only nine recorded snowfalls in history. You can count them on both hands. degree.
During these nine snowy times, Kong Liu also saw this when he was reading in the library:
Once in the sixth year of Chunyou of Song Dynasty, Guiyou succeeded to the throne, and the Mongolian cavalry went south and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty.
The second time was in the 13th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, when Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty died of illness during the Northern Expedition.
The third time was in the third year of Longqing in Ming Dynasty, when Japanese pirates invaded Jiangnan.
The next six times, four were in the Qing Dynasty, and one was in the Republic of China. The latest one dates back to a few years ago.
Because every time it snows in Yangcheng, big things happen, so there are rumors that snow in Yangcheng is an ominous sign.
Of course, this is just a superstitious statement. To be more reliable, it is because of the Little Ice Age in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that snow fell in southern cities like Yangcheng.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Kong Liu asked: "What kind of dumplings does your sister like to eat?"
"Let me think about it..."
Gu Chenxuan bit her lip, thought for a while, and said, "It should be cabbage and pork. Brother Kong, can you make dumplings?"
Kong Liu nodded confidently and said, "Making dumplings is easy."
"Wow, is it true!" Gu Chenxuan looked at Kong Liu in surprise.
She began to reveal her sister's shortcomings to Kong Liu: "My sister can't cook, not even noodles. The only thing she's good at is making instant noodles."
Mentioning Gu Chenxi's cooking skills, Kong Liu remembered the chicken soup that Gu Chenxi made for him in the hospital... It was simply scarier than Meng Po's soup!
No, Mrs. Meng has to come to her to purchase goods.
Gu Chenxuan continued to ask: "Is Brother Kong Liu going to make dumplings for my sister with his own hands?"
Kong Liu took out his cell phone, glanced at the class schedule, and said, "Tomorrow... I have classes tomorrow morning. I don't have time. I'm free in the afternoon."
Gu Chenxuan said with a smile: "If you make dumplings for my sister during the winter solstice, she will be extremely moved!"
"Thank you for reminding me!" Kong Liu touched Gu Chenxuan's head and said, "Next time, my brother will make glutinous rice balls for you."
Gu Chenxuan was even more surprised: "Brother Kong can also make glutinous rice balls!"
"Don't doubt your brother Kong's cooking skills!"
Kong Liu patted his chest and said confidently: "I have practiced before."
Gu Chenxuan said with some envy: "That's great. Brother Kong is much better than my idiot sister!"
"Ah sneeze——!"
Gu Chenxi, who had just finished the rehearsal, sneezed as soon as he stepped off the stage.
Gu Chenxi murmured to himself: "Who said bad things about me behind my back?"
Su Ya, who was in charge of stage props backstage, immediately came over holding Gu Chenxi's cotton-padded jacket: "Senior, don't catch a cold."
"Thanks."
Gu Chenxi nodded, picked up his cotton-padded jacket and put it on himself.
Since the two people made it clear that time at McDonald's, their relationship has also subtly eased. At least they can still get along well without Kong Liu.
Gu Chenxi looked at Su Ya's thin old cotton clothes and asked, "Aren't you cold if you wear something like this?"
Su Ya immediately shook her head and said, "It's not cold!"
"..."
After Gu Chenxi was silent for a moment, he asked again: "Why don't you sign up for the show?"
Su Ya waved her hand and said: "I...I don't know how to sing or dance, so I won't be embarrassed on stage."
"Can't study."
Gu Chenxi said in an indifferent tone: "The college organizes activities. The more you show your face, the more you can get familiar with the teachers. If you want to judge awards and excellence, don't be willing to be a behind-the-scenes worker."
Su Ya nodded seriously and said, "Okay senior sister."
"Um."
In front of outsiders, Gu Chenxi was still the cold Gu Chenxi. She had not changed at all. Looking at Gu Chenxi who had returned to the judges' table, Su Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Xia leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice: "What did you and Su Ya just say?"
"nothing."
Gu Chenxi thought for a while and asked, "Are Su Ya's family conditions very poor?"
"When I was collecting materials, I paid attention..."
Shen Xia paused, frowned and said, "It's pretty bad."
"All right."
Gu Chenxi nodded and said nothing more.
After the rehearsal, she followed Shen Xia to the cafeteria for a late-night snack. On the way, Gu Chenxi took her mobile phone and checked the shopping app.
Shen Xia looked at Gu Chenxi's search interface and asked, "Why did you start buying cotton-padded jackets online?"
Gu Chenxi looked through it and said, "I'm not wearing it."
"Who are they wearing?" Shen Xia frowned and asked with a weird look on her face, "You can't buy women's clothes for your boyfriend, right?"
"I don't have such bad taste!"
Gu Chenxi rolled her eyes and said, "I plan to give Su Ya a cotton coat."
"ah!"
Hearing Gu Chenxi's words, Shen Xia suddenly screamed. She looked at Gu Chenxi like a monster and said, "Why do you suddenly care about her?"
"Don't worry!"
Gu Chenxi directly covered Shen Xia's mouth and said, "When the time comes, just help me give it to her in the name of the student union."
Shen Xia shook her head and said: "It has changed, it has completely changed... You are no longer the Gu Chenxi you used to be..."
Seeing Shen Xia's reaction, Gu Chenxi rolled her eyes and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She opened Kong Liu's chat interface and asked, "Baby, have you finished tutoring?"
"It's just over, now I'm ready to go back to school."
Kong Liu looked at the message sent by Gu Chenxi and immediately replied.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Gu Chenxuan looked at the message from her sister and said, "I didn't expect that my sister still has such a face."
"Adults chat, children, don't look around." Kong Liu turned off the screen of his phone with some embarrassment.
Gu Chenxuan immediately retorted: "I'm not a child!"
Kong Liu did not argue with her about this issue. He packed his schoolbag, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going back to school. Don't talk to your sister about what happened tonight."
Gu Chenxuan nodded obediently: "Okay! Goodbye, brother Kong."
"Oh! By the way." Kong Liu just walked out of the door and turned back: "If your sister wants to make dumplings for me tomorrow, be sure to stop her! Otherwise you may never see Brother Kong again."
"Okay." Although she didn't quite understand what Kong Liu meant, Gu Chenxuan still nodded.
At the school, after seeing Kong Liu's reply, Gu Chenxi pursed her lips and smiled.
She was thinking: "Tomorrow is the winter solstice... should I give him a surprise? Let's make dumplings!"
