Xie Ronglan had a good idea. She thought she was close to Cheng Sanlang in age. In addition, she was good-looking and had been in Fucheng for the past few years. She was raised to be a bit squeamish and had seen the world. She was better than that one. The short winter melon is more suitable for the family of the master.
The more Xie Ronglan thought about it, the more she felt that the Cheng family was the best choice.
If he could marry into the Cheng family, he would be even better than the young masters whom the Lu family admired in Fucheng.
After all, the Cheng family not only has money, but most importantly, status and connections, so their future is sure to be bright.
Xie Ronglan thought that it was the first lunar month, so the Cheng family would always come over to pay New Year's greetings, right?
Xie Rongrong looked at her with a strange look on her face: "What are you talking about, sister? The Cheng family has already been here on the second day of the Lunar New Year. A year ago, Cheng Sanlang also came in person with the New Year's gift. On the second day of the new year after the new year, Cheng Sanlang came to visit him in person. I got my second uncle, and I heard that he brought a lot of good things to that little bitch."
Xie Ronglan's smile faltered!
Have you already been here?
At this time, Xie Ronglan began to secretly worry about why the Lu family didn't know to leave earlier!
She completely forgot that she was able to come back years ago because she was greedy for the Lu family's wealth and forcefully gave herself frostbite, which delayed her return until after the year.
Therefore, in the hearts of those selfish people, it is always others who do wrong things, and if the benefits do not fall on them, it is always others who do not deserve it!
Xie Ronglan's mood was a little depressed again, but then she thought about the Lantern Festival. The custom here in Gaoyang County is that as long as the young man and the girl are engaged, they can go out to watch the lantern festival together. Of course, this is still The woman's family members need to be accompanied, otherwise, the reputation of the girl's family will be damaged.
With new ideas, Xie Ronglan became energetic again.
Xie Rongzhaoke didn't know her thoughts at all. Just when the two sisters were coveting each other, she and Xie Rongen had already arrived at the cabin halfway up the mountain.
Oh, in addition to the two of them, there are also Xie Ronghui and Xie Rongye.
Before Xie Rongen and Guabao had gone out to the foot of the mountain, they happened to meet two brothers who had returned from their relatives' home. So after saying this, they simply went together.
Xie Rongzhao's good luck is not just for boasting.
They followed Xie Rongzhao's command all the way to the cabin. Xie Rongen didn't complain at all and was even very excited, which surprised Xie Ronghui and Xie Rongye for a moment.
Xie Rongen was tall and strong, but he had a stubborn temper. He was often beaten because of this. I never expected that he would listen to his little sister so much.
"Fourth brother, let's go over there. I just saw a pheasant."
"Fourth brother, walk slower. There seems to be something in the grass over there. Let's take a closer look."
Along the way, except when hunting, Xie Rongen basically carried Xie Rongzhao on his back.
Xie Ronghui originally thought that he would go all the way for him, but ended up carrying her for dozens of steps, and his body couldn't bear it.
Sure enough, Bai Wuyi is a scholar!
Xie Rongzhao chuckled happily, making the eldest and second brothers beside him feel a little embarrassed.
A group of four people arrived at the cabin successfully and found that there was no one here, just as it was before they came back.
Xie Rongen tidied it up in a familiar manner, then took out a small cotton cushion from his backpack and placed it on a stool for her to sit on.
Xie Rongzhao thanked his fourth brother sweetly, and then looked at the prey eagerly.
There is a small mountain stream about twenty feet away from here. The stream is not wide. The thinnest part is only about two feet, and the widest part is no more than four feet.
Xie Rongen took the prey out and called Xie Ronghui before leaving.
There were a lot of people and things today, and he had to get a few more bottles of water when he came back. He didn't have that many hands himself.
The pot in this small wooden house has been there for a long time, and I don’t know which neighbor or clan member put it here. The pot is very old, and it is a stone pot, which is a bit bulky, so it has been left there. Here, no one is trying to get away with it.
Xie Ronghui had three water bags hanging on his body, and Xie Rongzhao teased him like a liquor vendor.
Xie Ronghui didn't argue with her, he just flicked her on the forehead and told her to wait here obediently and not to run around.
Xie Rongye is one year younger than Xie Ronghui, and his temperament can be said to be completely different from Xie Rongen's. He is Xie Rongen's biological brother. He has a gentle temper and doesn't talk much. It may be because of the influence of his parents and younger brother, so he also prefers this little cousin from the second room. .
"My dear, are you cold?"
Xie Rongye grabbed a handful of dry straw from the corner and started to light the fire.
The cabin had windows, and after he lit the fire, he opened the window a crack the size of a palm.
"You and your fourth brother come here often?"
Xie Rongzhao nodded, then shook his head: "It's not that often, I've been here maybe two or three times. It's too cold to have barbecue outside in winter, but it's good here, it can block the wind, and you're not afraid of rain."
There is always a lot of rain in winter in the south, and the climate here in Gaoyang County is changeable. Maybe it was a nice day with clear skies in the morning, but then there would be a drizzle at noon.
The fire was lit, and the room became warmer.
This simple stove is built of stones. The only disadvantage is that it has no chimney.
Xie Rongye took out a handful of melon seeds from his purse and put them on the table for her to eat slowly.
The red firelight reflected Xie Rongzhao's little face with a bit of baby fat, making Xie Rongye look stunned.
I never noticed that my little cousin was so good-looking before.
Her little face is white and tender, and her big eyes are sparkling, like the stars in the sky, the more she looks at them, the better they look.
There were footsteps outside the door. It was Xie Ronghui returning from fetching water, and there was a little tail behind him.
Xie Rongye was still stunned when he heard his cousin call out sweetly: "Come here, little wolf, my sister will give you a red envelope."
Xie Xiaolang was wearing a half-worn jacket, and it was quite big. He looked familiar. It took Xie Rongye a while to remember, weren't these his brother's clothes?
"Happy New Year, sister!"
Xie Xiaolang came up to her and sweetly spoke auspicious words.
Xie Rongzhao is very satisfied, it feels good to be a sister!
"Be good, this is for you. But you have to hide it and don't let them find it."
"I will, thank you sister."
After Xie Xiaolang finished speaking, he shyly took out a small thing from his arms, and then handed it over with an uneasy look on his face.
"I don't have anything valuable on me. I made this myself. Does my sister like it?"
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up when he took out the things.
It's a beautiful little rabbit, and it's made of bamboo. I don't know how much work it will take. After all, splitting bamboo into something less than half as thin as her little finger is not an easy task.
"It's so beautiful, thank you little brother Xiaolang."
Xie Xiaolang then grinned, showing some big white teeth, "As long as sister likes it, I will make more animals for her in the future."
