Chapter 230 Worry and Happiness
“The elbow is coming!” Mrs. Zhao was still enthusiastic when she saw Zhou Zhi: “Come here and see what grandpa has written! This earthworm can crawl like a crab!”
"Let me take a look." Zhou Zhi took the letter from Mrs. Zhao. There was a bunch of wild cursive writing on it: "The old man is addicted to writing. Beautiful! Madam, this one belongs to me. I’ll get a mirror to hang it up after the new year!” Madam Zhao has never treasured this thing: “Just tell me what you wrote!”
Zhou Zhi thought: "The fragrant buds of the tender bamboo shoots have just emerged from the forest, and the price in the mausoleum is as heavy as gold. There are countless people in the imperial capital, land and sea, and I can bear to cut an inch of my heart from Ling Yun."
"What is this?" Mrs. Zhao said she didn't understand at all.
"Li Shangyin's poem, the old man really wants to eat winter bamboo shoots!" Zhou Zhi folded the letter and put it into his bag without any courtesy: "Why don't I ask Xin Yi to bring squid and ham tomorrow? Madam, are you making three fresh dishes for grandpa?"
Madam Zhao patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: "You just want to embarrass me! "
"Then I'll ask Xin Yi to send it over when it's ready." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Not to mention that Grandpa Zhao's teeth are really strong, that's what my grandma envies the most."
< br>"Your grandma's appetite is not bad either." Mrs. Zhao was also happy: "Grandpa Xinyi is extremely envious of her."
"Then it's agreed, I'll give out squid when I get home tonight." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Goodbye, Mrs. Zhao and Xin Yi, I'll take Shu Yi home."
After that, he rushed to Zhang Xinyi in the back room. The bedroom shouted: "Aster! What are you looking at and you don't come out to say hello?!"
At this moment, the recent disturbing news The music started to sound: "Mountains and rivers cannot bear too much sorrow, and years cannot bear too long a wait..."
"No need to come out! Just go on and watch!" Zhou Zhi knew what was inside. , this year's big drama, "A Play on Qianlong" by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi, even my own grandmother can enjoy it.
"Then you won't come out. Brother Zhuzi, come and eat three delicacies with us tomorrow!" Zhang Ziyuan said loudly inside: "We'll see you tomorrow!"
"This child is not polite at all." Mrs. Zhao said angrily, reaching out to straighten Zhou Zhi's collar that was messed up when he took off his apron after cooking: "Don't be angry with her, she is your brother. "
"Actually, what Aster said makes sense." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be happy: "The three delicacies of the squid are freshly cooked. It’s best to eat. Then I’ll bring the ingredients over tomorrow.” After that, he shouted to the room: “See you tomorrow, Aster!”
Zhang Xinyi followed the old rules and sent Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi downstairs again, through the camphor forest, and to the stone staircase.
Zhou Zhi turned to Zhang Xinyi and said: "My mother told me that you can eat at my house during this holiday. She said she didn't believe that she would not make you fat."
"Ha, Yao Niang It's really funny." Zhang Xinyi couldn't help but laugh: "I'm afraid of disappointing her."
"In fact, as long as the meat porridge is enough, it will be fine." Zhou Zhilian's plan. They all thought about it: "You and Shu Yi are both cruel people. You really need to take advantage of the holidays to take a good rest and recuperate."
"I got it, let's go. It's not too late." Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shu Yi waved his hand: "Goodbye Shu Yi, come to my house tomorrow."
Going down the stone staircase, Jiang Shuyi walked quietly beside Zhou Zhi. The festive atmosphere has begun to spread in the county town. There are already many firecracker stalls on the roadside. Some children who have money but cannot bear it have bought firecrackers and set them off on the roadside.
The quality of today’s firecrackers is also improving. In addition to the traditional black gunpowder with yellow mud paste, there is another kind of explosive sound and light effect that is better, green mud paste with a green coating. Not the old-fashioned paper-twisted firecrackers.
Because the charge contains potassium nitrate and aluminum powder as additives, this gunpowder is silver-gray in color and more difficult to ignite than traditional gunpowder. This means that the ignition point is higher than traditional gunpowder and is relatively "safer"; however; Once ignited, it is much more powerful than traditional gunpowder and is relatively more dangerous.
Young men and women like Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi walking alone together are the favorite targets of the naughty children who set off firecrackers. They are not stupid enough to throw firecrackers directly at them, but they will do so in advance. "Ambush", quietly throwing firecrackers on the path of the two of them in a way that they thought was concealed, calculating the time difference, hoping that the two of them would land nearby when the firecrackers exploded.
Jiang Shuyi's eyesight was bad. She had been bullied like this a lot in the past, but now it was different with Zhou Zhi. Several times Zhou Zhi ran up to her and boldly threw the firecrackers that were still burning with fuses. He was kicked back by the naughty children, but the other Ewa was frightened and screamed.
Of course, you can't rely on your quick eyes and quick feet to deny any face to the naughty children. Occasionally, you still have to let firecrackers explode near you, otherwise they will be ruined.
Another advantage of doing this is that after two times, Zhou Zhi took the initiative to hold Jiang Shuyi's hand: "Don't be afraid, Shuyi, except for speaking louder, there is nothing else."
Jiang Shuyi nervously clenched Zhou Zhi's fingers until she passed the section of the new highway where firecrackers were sold. , stopped on the road, and then he let go of Zhou Zhi's hand with a blushing face: "Yes...I'm sorry, Zhou Zhi."
"Huh? What are you sorry for?"
"Knowing you You have too many people, I'm afraid... I'm afraid someone will tell my aunt if they see it."
"You really think too much. It's not like everyone in Jiachuan knows me and my mother." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry about that."
Jiang Shuyi has always been a little worried. Uneasy: "I know that aunt likes Xueshan and Xinyi; grandma likes Xinxin. I... I can't compare to Xueshan in terms of ability, I can't compare to Xinyi in terms of intimacy, I can't compare to Xinxin in terms of diligence and cheerfulness, I don't want to... be... deducted points again. "
"Shu Yi, you really think so. ?" Zhou Zhi's question seemed concerned, but his expression and tone betrayed his inner joy.
"Well...what I said was the truth..." Jiang Shuyi was actually very embarrassed and didn't dare to look up at Zhou Zhi. When she realized that Zhou Zhi's tone was wrong, she looked up and saw the joy on his face. , suddenly felt so sad: "Zhou Zhi You...what's your expression?"
"Ah? No, don't get me wrong." Zhou Zhi quickly stopped Jiang Shuyi and said, "Shu. Yi, look at me.”
Jiang Shuyi stopped obediently and looked up at Zhou Zhi.
“I am indeed a little happy, but the reason is not because you are not as good as Xueshan, Xinyi and Ye Xin.”
“It is not as you said, you are not as good as my mother and grandma. In my heart, you will be worse than them."
"Let me tell you why I am happy first. The reason why I am happy is because your ideas are right. It’s still wrong, it’s all because you care about me. I’m happy only because of this.”
“You!” Jiang Shuyi was really annoyed and ashamed, and she was annoyed that Zhou Zhi was treating her. The worries about Feng Xueshan and others were stated so straightforwardly. What was embarrassing was that just as Zhou Zhi said, she did have such thoughts because she cared too much about him.
She was originally an introvert, but now she just wanted to run away quickly. She shook her hands twice, but she couldn't get rid of Zhou Zhi's hand.
