Lady Caisang: My husband is a little sweet

Chapter 31

Knowing the reason for her daughter's entanglement, Gu Shi felt a little relieved and a little bit distressed, "Your aunt, each of you can take five or six rice dumplings, and I will give you some money later to buy some candied brown sugar, and make up three pieces. Just a gift."

As soon as Gu Qingya heard this, she knew that she was going wrong. Every household had zongzi. If there were too many zongzi, it would be a waste if they couldn't finish them. But if you want to buy something, you have to spend a little more money.

Actually, as married daughters, Yan Shuang'er and Yan Shui'er only had the custom of giving gifts to their natal family, and their natal family would just return the gift. Now Gu Qingya and her family are doing nothing wrong.

As for Gu's natal family, they haven't moved around in the past ten years, and almost lost contact, so there is no need to consider the annual ceremony.

"Okay, then do as you said." In the past, when Fang Shi was around, she didn't know how to buy things, just grab a chicken and add a few rice dumplings for each daughter. Now that Fang Shi is not here, Gu Shi and Gu Qingya was definitely reluctant to give away the chicken.

"Well, on May Day, you can take your younger siblings to your aunt's side to see the dragon boat, just be careful not to get lost." Earn more money, the couple are reluctant to give up this job.

"We won't go to see it anymore, just ask Qinghe to send the festival gift. There are too many people, and it will be bad if they get lost." Gu Qingya is not sure that she can look after her younger siblings and nothing will happen. Every now and then, you would hear that someone's child disappeared or was abducted. If something like this happened, wouldn't the parents die of grief.

Gu Shi thought about it too, and felt sorry for her daughter's sensibility, "If you don't want to play, then buy some snacks to eat at home, and then take you there when your parents are free."

"Okay." Gu Qingya said with a smile, carefully collected the money given by the Gu family, thinking about letting Qinghe and Liu Bingbing go to the market tomorrow morning, and then send it after buying. In the eyes of the two aunts, she It's not from the Yan family, and besides, she doesn't like to go.

On the way home, I met Yan Qinghua, she was very excited, she didn't know what good things happened, she followed Gu Qingya, and began to chatter about her own affairs: "Qingya, Qingya Ya, look at the silk flowers on my head, don't they look good? I bought them with the money I earned from picking mulberry leaves."

Gu Qingya took a look, and there were two pink silk flowers pinned on Yan Qinghua's head, which made the whole person's skin brighter, she nodded and praised: "It's very beautiful. Where are you from?"

"I went to find someone to play with. You know, I know a lot of friends. One is the granddaughter of Master Wu's housekeeper. We are getting close. I am looking for her. We made an appointment to go to Wutong Village to watch the dragon boat the day after tomorrow. Sai, do you want to go with me?"

Gu Qingya shook her head, "I won't go, my parents are not at home, so I have to watch my younger siblings at home."

"Oh, what's the matter, take your younger siblings with you! You don't know, Wutong Village was so lively that day, there were a lot of people selling things, eating and playing." Yan Qinghua became more and more excited as she spoke. , I can’t wait to play now.

"..." Gu Qingya was a little speechless, Yan Qinghua spoke lightly, and the two of them could talk less and less. Ever since Yan Qinghua went to five houses to pick mulberry leaves, they saw each other less, "My brother It’s too young, there will be a chance in the future, do you want to go to my house to play?”

"I'm not going, I'm going to ask someone else later." Gu Qingya didn't go, and Yan Qinghua didn't care, anyway, there were a lot of people who could go to play together.

"Okay then, you can come to my house to play when you have time." Gu Qingya said with a smile.

Regarding Gu Qingya's invitation, Yan Qinghua didn't take it very seriously, she waved her hand and said, "I'll definitely go if I have time, but don't stay at home all day, go out for a walk, there are many interesting things outside Woolen cloth."

Of course, children of this age love to play, and Gu Qingya is no exception, but there are many burdens on her shoulders, and Gu's discipline is also strict, Yan Qinghua just listens to what Yan Qinghua said, without the permission of her parents, she is impossible Running around.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Gu Qingya and Yan Qinghua separated, seeing the grandson of the Li Chang's family from a distance, thinking of the things Wang gave her before, she wanted to send some of the gray water rice dumplings she made to her. In fact, it tastes really good. It has a special fragrance. I heard that sesame is very fragrant. It will be better if it is added in the future.

"Qingya, you just come and play, why do you still bring rice dumplings? Come on, sit down and chat with us." Wang Shi was still very happy to see Gu Qingya, but she saw that she was carrying Zongzi, I think she is too polite.

Gu Qingya said hello, thanked Mrs. Wang, then sat down by the chair, and said embarrassedly: "This is the gray water rice dumpling that I tried to make, and the taste is not bad, I just wanted to bring some for you Try it, don’t know if it suits your taste?”

"Grey water rice dumpling? I haven't heard of it, but I want to try it. You sit down, and I'll heat it up." Wang said and went to the kitchen to show her daughter a good time.

Yan Sujin and Gu Qingya knew each other before when they were peeling silkworm cocoons, the age difference between the two was five years, they didn't chat much, after all there is still a gap.But before she heard from her mother that Gu Qingya was very special, she could chat with her more, so she was very interested.

"How do you make this gray rice dumpling? I haven't heard anyone tell me about it?" Yan Sujin was also very curious. Gu Qingya's family background is not good, but her sitting posture and demeanor are very good. Unlike some girls, when they come to their own home, their sitting posture is not very straight, and their eyes are even flicking around, which makes people uncomfortable.

"When I went to the county too, I overheard people say, I think gray water, is it just burning something to ashes and soaking glutinous rice? It happens that this year I make zongzi at home, so I have the courage to try it. Mugwort and glutinous rice straw, fortunately, the taste is not bad, otherwise I would not be able to explain to my mother." Yan Sujin has a melon-seeded face, which looks round and not fat, and has a nice smile, unconsciously, Gu Qing Ya talked too much.

"Wormwood? The taste should be okay. If you dare to take it, it means it's delicious. I believe you." Yan Sujin said with a smile, "Auntie hasn't finished her work at Master Wu's house yet. It's the Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow."

"Master Wu's family raised a lot this year, and my mother said that I will be busy for a few more days." Gu Qingya saw Yan Sujin talking to herself, and she was knitting cotton thread with a wooden handle and copper fork in one hand, she couldn't help feeling a little itchy, "Sujin Sister, can I try?"

Cotton thread making is to make silk thread and other things that cannot be spun into thread. It is also very good to use this thread to weave silk, and the standard of this cotton thread is smooth, even and compact.

Yan Sujin stopped and said with a smile: "How boring is this job, are you still interested? Here, here you are." Gu Shi is very good, but she doesn't know how Gu Qingya does other things besides stripping silkworm threads.
