Chapter 142
After eating, it was getting late, Su Keyan helped Lianzi make some snacks for tomorrow, and then left.

Lianzi sent him to the door, looked at the night, and said: "You should carry a lantern, the road is not easy."

Su Keyan shook his head and said, "No need, it's not very far away, and the road is also freezing at this time, so it's fine."

He said, looking at both sides of the road, only the lights in the sparse shops were still on at this time.But these lights are completely enough for walking.

"En", Lianzi nodded, seeing that the strap on his cloak was not fastened, she tiptoed to help him fasten it.

Su Keyan had already started to grow, and now he was a head taller than Lianzi. It was really difficult to tie him a belt.

Fortunately, Su Keyan bent his body so that the lotus seeds could be reached without any effort.

"Okay," Lianzi said with a smile after fastening the straps on his cloak.

Su Keyan smiled at her softly, then lowered his head, took out a small red-lacquered wooden box from his pocket, and handed it to Lianzi.

"What?" Lianzi said, "You still make it so mysterious."

The presents for her had already been given to her just now, but Lianzi didn't expect that they still had them at this time.

As she spoke, she opened the small wooden box, but only took a look, and then closed the box with a "snap".

Seeing this, Su Keyan smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving."

"Let's go." Lianzi didn't look up, but Su Keyan could still tell that she was smiling.

Su Keyan turned around and took two steps, then turned back again, just in time to meet Lianzi's eyes looking at him.

The moment they met, Lianzi hurriedly looked away and looked down at her feet.

Su Keyan smiled slightly, turned and left.

It's been a year since I saw this little girl, she turned out like this.However, no matter how it changes, she is still his Lianzi, the one who used to be with him all day long and who loved to smile at him the most.

After Su Keyan walked away, Lianzi opened the box in her hand again.

With the faint light cast from the shop, what is inside is a wooden lotus hairpin.

Although the material is not very valuable, Lianzi took it out and looked at it carefully, and found that this hairpin is exquisite in workmanship, with corners and corners, polished very smooth.However, what does not match this exquisite workmanship is the carving of this lotus flower, which is not very good.

Seeing it like this, Lianzi understood that the hairpin was probably carved by Su Keyan himself.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being moved, and carefully put the hairpin into the box, holding it in her arms like a rare treasure.

Since Su Keyan came, every afternoon, he would come to sit with Lianzi for a while, or help her look after the shop, or help her make snacks.

The days passed slowly, and before you knew it, it was the end of the year, and the Lianzi family was going back to their hometown for the New Year.

In the autumn of this year, although there was a lot of losses in the fish pond, and a lot of money was spent on buying a shop.But only one chestnut shop has earned back the money of the two shops.

The more the new year comes, the more prosperous the business is. In the past, the lotus shop only needed to make one batch of dim sum a day, but at the end of the year, two batches a day were not enough.

However, no matter what, the year must be passed, so on the morning of the 28th, Lianzi temporarily closed the shop and accompanied Yang to her grandmother's house.

It's just that Lizi is still busy, and has recently received a lot of orders for New Year's clothes, which must be made before New Year's Eve, so she must finish all these clothes before leaving.

Fortunately, after several months of training, both the embroiderer and the tailors in the shop are already proficient in their skills. It is not a problem to make dozens of sets of clothes in a day.

Hurrying quickly, I finally finished all the clothes on the afternoon of the 29th and sent them over.

But after delivering the clothes, it was already dark, and if you had to go back at night, it would be very cold and very unsafe.So Li Zi decided to wait until tomorrow morning before rushing back.

Yang Shi and Liu Jingren returned home with Lianzi and Douzi first, while Chunxing and Guzi left with Lizi in the morning of thirty.

There was no need for Chunxing to celebrate the New Year with them, and besides, her mother was still there, so she got off the carriage at the village head of Caojiawanzi, and made an appointment to pick her up on the third day of the Lunar New Year before going back.

After Lianzi returned home, she got out of the carriage and first walked around the new house that had been rebuilt.

This time the house does not look dilapidated at all.

The majestic big tile-roofed house, the red tiles are shining dazzlingly on the roof, the whole house is five meters high, the main room alone is as big as two rooms, and there are two side rooms on the left and right.On both sides of the gatehouse, two ear rooms were also built, which are specially used to hold farm tools and other sundries at home.

After tidying up like this, the house looks much more spacious, and even if a few guests come occasionally, it can completely accommodate them.

On New Year's Eve, we still have to spend it with the whole family in accordance with the practice of previous years.

Maybe it's because they haven't been back for a long time, and they don't feel that there is any trouble between each other.Lianzi got up early that morning, and after breakfast, she went to her hometown.

When Xuanxuan and Dafu saw Lianzi came back, they quickly ran towards her with short legs, cheering and cheering.

Lianzi squatted down, wrapped one arm around the other, and kissed the two of them forcefully on the cheeks, asking, "Did you miss little aunt?"

"Think about it," Xuanxuan and Dafu scrambled to say.

Lianzi smiled and said, "Well, you're so good, my little aunt has something delicious for you."

As she said that, Lianzi gave the two little dolls the two packs of glutinous rice candy they brought.

When the two got the candy, they laughed and ran away, throwing Lianzi aside, which made Lianzi regret giving them the candy so easily.

"Come here so early." Xing'er came out of the kitchen and laughed with Lianzi.

Lianzi called out "Aunt Three", and went into the main room to meet Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Liu, then went to the kitchen again, and together with Xing'er, cleaned the dishes.

Seeing that the hairpin on Xing'er's head was always made by her third uncle, Lianzi suddenly remembered the one that Su Keyan gave her that night.She suddenly felt that third uncle and third aunt must be living a very happy life.

However, when she saw the hairpin on Xing'er's head, although it was only made of wood, it was very delicate, and she couldn't help but think that maybe Third Uncle could also go to the town to open a shop and specialize in making these exquisite jewelry heads.She is still very confident in Liu Jinglin's craftsmanship.

The two were talking when they saw Yang Shi and Liu Jingren coming over.

A lot of things were brought, Lianzi and Xing'er helped to carry them.

Life at home is better now.The two shops have income every day, and there are two fish ponds and dozens of acres of land, so there is no shortage of that little money.Besides, it's not fixed how many times a year I go home, so I should express my opinion.So, Yang Shi and Dou Zi wandered around the city for several days, and finally bought all the things they were going to bring back, and even Li Shi had a share.

For Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Liu, there are two pieces of muslin rulers, and each of them has a coat made of otter skin.For Liu Jinglin and Xing'er, there are also two rulers, and each of them has a big hairy cloak.These are also for Li Shi and Liu Jingmin.In addition, Yang also made a set of padded jacket and trousers for Xuanxuan and Dafu, and gave each child a dime of lucky money.

In addition to these, they also brought back many kinds of food.

When Li Shi saw these things, he immediately smiled at Yang Shi regardless of the past festivals.

They have already received the gift from Maizi this year, but it is still just two bolts of dark silk and ten taels of silver, this time there is no honor.

The whole family is gathered together, only millet and chestnuts are missing.

Yang Shi was talking about why the two children hadn't come yet, when she heard the sound of a carriage outside, and then Yang Shi saw Lizi's carriage parked in front of the house.

Li Zi opened the curtain of the carriage first, and poked out a head with fine gold thread inlaid with rubies and multicolored flowers on his forehead, and a pile of velvet flowers pinned to the end of his hair. Then he stepped on the stool put down by the driver and got out of the carriage.

The one who followed her was the obviously much simpler Guzi.

There is still only a plain silver hairpin stuck in Guzi's hair, and a pair of bead earrings hanging from both ears, other than that, there are no other accessories.

She was wearing a half-worn homemade quilted skirt with a large white fur cloak on it. Compared with the golden embroidered rose embroidered cross-neck and narrow-sleeved skirt on Lizi's body and the big red fox fur cloak on it, she looked as pale as a girl. It is a white orchid.

"This girl!" Yang said in her mouth.

When she came, she clearly told Li Zi to wear homely clothes, she insisted on making such a big show.I really have money, so I can do whatever I want.

Lizi itself makes high-end women's clothing. The clothes she and the people in the shop wear on weekdays are naturally extremely beautiful, and they can be regarded as a living sign to attract customers.

Early this morning, she remembered Yang's instructions, and wanted to find an old homely clothes to replace, but she couldn't find it after searching. Then she remembered that her new clothes were already worn out not long after the shop opened. If I can't finish it, I will give away or throw away all the old clothes before.

Not only did Lizi come by himself, but he also brought things with him.

Made a pair of fine satin clothes for Father Liu and Mrs. Chen, and then quietly gave her the clothes made especially for Xing'er.

There are two sets of clothes made for Xing'er, one is made of silk and satin, which can be worn by her on important occasions, and the other is only made of muslin, which can be worn at home.But they are all well-cut, finely crafted, exquisitely embroidered, and fashionable.Myolie fell in love with it when she saw it.

They sat together and talked for a while, and at noon, Shi Yang and Xing'er arrived at the stove, Shi Li saw them go, felt embarrassed to sit still, and followed.

There was only a simple meal at noon, and after the family finished eating, they began to pack up and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner at night.

 The first update, the next update will be posted soon
