"Thank you, I like it very much."
Yu Zhu stared blankly at the girl and murmured, feeling that the unspoken thoughts in his heart were getting stronger and stronger, and at this moment the girl's cheerful voice sounded again:
"Hehe~ Brother Yuzhu, guess what I did?"
Yu Zhu came to his senses, quickly averted his eyes and looked down at the bamboo joint.
He originally thought it was just a bamboo joint, but looking at it like this, there were indeed traces of hand polishing, but it looked like this...
Seeing that he was silent, Bai Yue added with some embarrassment: "I'm clumsy, so maybe it's not like that. It's okay. You can make a bold guess!"
Having said that, her eyes were very expectant.
Seeing how she wanted to be recognized, Yu Zhu looked at the "bamboo stick" more carefully.
The polishing was indeed rough, with one end slightly thinner, but the whole thing was very thick. He really couldn't tell what it was, but he had been silent for too long, so he could only answer tentatively: "Bamboo pestle?"
Bai Yue's eyes widened in disbelief: "...This is a hairpin! A jade bamboo hairpin I made specially for you!"
Yu Zhu: "..."
A hairpin nearly two fingers thick?
Although he really couldn't imagine how such a thick stick...the hairpin could be inserted into his hair, Yu Zhu still praised it very sincerely: "It turns out to be a hairpin, it's beautiful."
"Well... there's no need to praise me, I know I'm not good at it." Compared with cooking and brewing medicine, Bai Yue is more self-aware in handicrafts.
"It's already good." Yu Zhu gently put the blanket on the frustrated girl squatting on the ground. He stretched out a hand as if he wanted to touch the top of her hair, but withdrew it when he was about to touch it. "This is the first gift I've ever received, thank you."
Bai Yue blinked: "The first gift? Wasn't that hosta a gift from your mother-in-law?"
The young man was stunned and suddenly realized that no wonder she wanted to give him a hairpin. It turned out to be this reason. but......
"No." He shook his head, "Actually, it's not a hosta, it's just a white stone. I polished it when I had nothing to do before, and I polished it into a hairpin and wanted to give it to my mother-in-law, but she still refused. The hairpin was broken even before it was tied once."
Yu Zhu said it easily, turning the few years of being locked up in the woodshed in the dark into a simple "nothing to do", but Bai Yue was a little worried when he heard it.
It turned out that there was such a story behind the broken hairpin. Bai Yue was a little annoyed and felt that she had made a mistake. Not only did she fail to comfort her, but she reminded people of sad things.
Suddenly, she stretched out her hand to take back the "jade bamboo hairpin": "Forget it, I don't want to give you the hairpin, I want to make it into something else!"
She wanted to take it back, but Yu Zhu was unwilling. With a flick of her thin and pale wrist, the girl flew away.
"Since you gave it to me, it's already mine." He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's annoyed expression, pursed his lips, "How about... I make something out of it as a gift. Will I return it to you?"
"Obviously I want to give you a gift..." Bai Yue muttered softly, but thinking about how beautifully Yu Zhu polished the hairpins, she couldn't help but be a little curious, "What are you going to accomplish?"
"It's not a delicate object." Yu Zhu saw the girl's expectant big eyes, and the corners of his lips could not help but rise, but he restrained himself, "It will be the New Year in a few days, and I will give it to you when it is ready. good?"
"Okay!" Bai Yue agreed quickly this time, "It's agreed, it's the New Year's gift that Brother Yuzhu made for me personally!"
"Um."
The boy and girl looked at each other and smiled, as if there was affection flowing between them.
It's just an ignorance and a forbearance.
"It's such a cold weather. You two ran to this courtyard early in the morning to do something. Come inside quickly to warm up."
The village chief was carrying a teapot and was thinking of going out to collect some new snow to make the good tea he had just bought. When he saw that his bamboo chair had already been occupied, he raised his beard and started to chase people away.
"I took Brother Yuzhu out to see the snow. I'm going back now~" Bai Yue replied with a smile.
"What's so nice about snow? Doesn't it fall every year?"
"How can it be the same? This is the first snow this year, and it is also the first snow I have seen in the village~!"
Yu Zhu looked at the smiling Bai Yue and thought to himself that this was not the first snow he had seen in the village, but it was the only snow that he did not feel disgusted with, but was very happy about.
"After some time, Tiantianxia, you won't be indifferent anymore, haha..."
The family here gets along harmoniously and happily, and Xiao Ling and Han Yuan also look at each other and smile.
If life could stay like this, it would be the most beautiful thing in the world.
From then until the Chinese New Year, what Xiao Ling didn't expect was that Han Yuan was indeed uncharacteristically quiet and stopped tormenting him every day. Instead, he always disappeared in the middle of the night and didn't know what he was doing.
At first, he felt that he could finally take a breath, but as time passed, he began to feel uncomfortable again.
What on earth is this kid doing behind his back? Mysterious.
However, although he was doubtful, he didn't show it too much.
Otherwise, it would seem like he thinks too much...
Finally, the day has finally arrived in the New Year.
Every house in the village has hung up red lanterns, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it quite festive and lively.
The room occupied by Xiao Ling and Han Yuan was always vacant, so they only put up the word "Fu" on it and didn't decorate it much.
Xiao Ling felt that this seemed a little more deserted and lacked the flavor of the New Year, so he thought about asking Han Yuan to make some red couplets and red cloth, and they would add some decorations themselves. However, he did not expect that he, who had always been obedient, would actually be indifferent. He spread his hands and said, "No need."
Xiao Ling, who had felt that he had been a little neglected recently, narrowed her eyes dangerously, and made a mental note, secretly thinking that even if this person wanted to get intimate with him on the pretext of the New Year at night, he would have to give him the cold shoulder!
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Zhu's legs improved a lot and he was able to get out of bed and walk independently. This was also the first time that he and Bai Yue's family sat together for dinner. They seemed a little cramped, but the atmosphere was very warm.
Bai Yue also received her own exclusive New Year gift as she wished. Yu Zhu cut a flute for her with his own hands and carefully carved a crescent moon on it.
The "Jade Bamboo Hairpin" was completely reborn and became the "Yue Bamboo Flute", whose name was Bai Yueming's, which concealed the girl's first love thoughts.
Xiao Ling was thinking depressedly whether he should cook for this annoying ghost, but Han Yuan suddenly put his face in front of him and smiled mysteriously: "Aling, I want to take you somewhere."
"Wha - eh!" Xiao Ling was startled by him and was about to ask where he was, but his whole body was shaken and he was picked up horizontally and rushed out of the door.
They only felt a blur in front of their eyes. When they passed through the courtyard gate, the air around them seemed to be rippled, and then suddenly there was a beautiful small building in front of them, which was covered with red silk.
Han Yuan actually created another independent space in this "field"?
While Xiao Ling was stunned, a certain ghost raised its tail and came to his ear again and began to offer treasures:
"Aling, this is our home from now on. Happy New Year."
