Chapter 181 Can I Still Wait for You?
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month. Xia Taoyuan looked at her bank balance and found that she still had more than 200,000 yuan, which was her entire fortune. It was the 50,000 yuan she had saved from her previous job and the 180,000 yuan her grandparents left her. She didn't know how her grandparents had worked so hard to scrape out these hundreds of thousands of yuan from their limited income. She only knew that life was hard and she couldn't squander it.
But she couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so she decided to find a job after the Chinese New Year. She checked the jewelry she had brought from North Vietnam, two bracelets, one gold and one jade, and a gold hairpin. She weighed them and thought they were pretty heavy. If she melted them and removed the impurities, they should weigh about 40 to 50 grams, and could be sold for tens of thousands. But she didn't know if she could sell the jade bracelet.
There was also a jade pendant, which was given to her by Chu Xingluo. She would never sell it even if she was beaten to death. She carefully put the jade pendant into a brocade box.
She checked Qi Nanfeng's things again, and found a jade hairpin that she bought to give to Lu Qing'er, but Qi Nanfeng took it away. Thinking of the scene that day, Xia Taoyuan smiled bitterly.
There were also two gold bars and some small silver coins, which were good. He must have brought them with him. Then there was the crooked handkerchief she embroidered. Seeing the handkerchief, Xia Taoyuan felt sad again. This was the first one she embroidered, and it was not good, so she embroidered a second one for Chu Xingluo. The gold bars were ten taels each, and two twenty taels should weigh at least five or six hundred grams after removing impurities. She checked the gold price and found that it was recycled at 500 yuan per gram, which could be sold for two or three hundred thousand.
She put the gold away, ordered tools to melt it, and went to cook.
Qi Nanfeng picked up the jade hairpin and handkerchief, looked at his body, and seeing no place to put them, he put them under the quilt on the kang.
Xia Taoyuan seemed to have accepted the reality, but every night when it was quiet, she would fall asleep by reminiscing about the little things she had with Chu Xingluo. This happened every day, and she was happiest only when she fell asleep and dreamed about Chu Xingluo. In her dream, she told Chu Xingluo about her thoughts, and she felt that Chu Xingluo could hear her. She could hear what Chu Xingluo said, and she could see him, but she just couldn't touch him. In her dream, she felt that there was still hope, but after waking up, she seemed to fall into endless darkness, and she cried until her heart was broken every day after waking up.
Chu Xingluo was the same. He was like a walking corpse every day. He went to the prime minister's residence again and again, but returned empty-handed. He could only survive by dreaming about Xia Taoyuan.
Seeing that the New Year was getting closer and closer, Xia Taoyuan was thinking about the New Year. In the past, her grandparents would start to get busy as soon as the twelfth lunar month came, cleaning, buying couplets, and buying New Year's goods. Now that she was back, her grandparents' traditions could not be broken. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, she bought incense and candles and went to the mountain to visit the graves of her grandparents, father and mother, kowtowed, and cried heartbreakingly in front of the graves. Qi Nanfeng also kowtowed behind her, then pulled Xia Taoyuan up to comfort her and persuade her.
Xia Taoyuan calmed down and said, let's go shopping and give him a haircut.
Qi Nanfeng didn't understand. He just had to follow her and let her make the decision. He would listen to her.
Xia Taoyuan took Qi Nanfeng on the bus to the county town. Qi Nanfeng looked at the bus curiously. He wanted to ask something, but Xia Taoyuan closed his eyes, so he had to hold back his questions.
When they arrived at the county town, Qi Nanfeng was dazzled by the towering buildings and the endless stream of cars.
Xia Taoyuan took him to a barber shop. When Teacher Tony saw Qi Nanfeng, he praised him: "What a handsome guy, he looks like a star!"
Xia Taoyuan said: "Give him a buzz cut, a short one." A buzz cut will make it grow slower, so we don't have to cut it once a month, which is such a waste. It costs thirty yuan for each cut.
After Tony asked for Qi Nanfeng's WeChat, Xia Taoyuan rolled her eyes and said coldly, "He doesn't have a cell phone."
After leaving the barber shop, Xia Taoyuan said, "If your head feels cold, put on your hat."
Qi Nanfeng did as he was told, and the two went to the shopping mall, where they bought some couplets with money hanging on them and some food. Xia Taoyuan wanted to buy Qi Nanfeng a better coat, after all, he had donated his gold bars, and the ones she bought for him online were all cheap ones that cost a few dozen yuan each. But when she saw that the customers coming and going were all looking at Qi Nanfeng and praising him for being so handsome, she got angry and decided not to buy anything.
Looking up and seeing the milk tea shop, Xia Taoyuan was happy for a moment. She hadn't had milk tea for a long time. There were a lot of people queuing up. She asked Qi Nanfeng to wait aside with his things while she went to queue up.
Finally, Xia Taoyuan bought the milk tea she had been dreaming about. She walked towards Qi Nanfeng with the milk tea, only to find that Qi Nanfeng was surrounded by several girls. "Little brother, can you add me on WeChat?" "Handsome, can you add me on contact!"
For some reason, Xia Taoyuan felt a surge of anger in her heart. She stood aside and glanced at Qi Nanfeng. Qi Nanfeng sensed the danger and noticed that Xia Taoyuan had a sullen face. He hurriedly said, "I don't have a cell phone." Then he rushed out of the crowd and walked towards Xia Taoyuan.
Xia Taoyuan snorted and threw the milk tea at him, cursing, "You're just a bastard!"
Seeing her like this, Qi Nanfeng was not angry, but was in a good mood.
When he got home, Qi Nanfeng mustered up the courage to ask Xia Taoyuan what bus he took today. Xia Taoyuan said coldly, "You've never seen a bus before, huh? What have you seen?"
Qi Nanfeng asked a lot of questions again, and Xia Taoyuan explained them all to him even though he spoke with disdain.
"Can I have a cell phone? I see you're always looking at your phone." Qi Nanfeng asked in a low voice.
She wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the gold bars worth two or three hundred thousand, she agreed. Then she ordered a mobile phone worth about one thousand yuan. She thought it was a good deal. She downloaded some software for him so that he could learn some modern knowledge, saving her from teaching him. She looked at Qi Nanfeng's face again and thought: When he runs out of money in the future, he can sell his body, go to that station and do some coquettish actions, and make money through live broadcast.
In the following days, Qi Nanfeng learned a lot from his mobile phone, including how to cook a lot of meals. He also realized that this place was six or seven hundred years different from where he lived.
It snowed again on New Year's Eve. Xia Taoyuan pasted Spring Festival couplets outside the gate, and put hanging money on each window. She put some dried fruits, candies on the table. Although no one came, there was still a sense of ritual for the New Year. She wanted to reassure her grandparents, parents.
At night, she made a few bowls of dumplings and ate with Qi Nanfeng. Qi Nanfeng was watching TV, and she walked out of the house and ran to Xiyun Pavilion. The thick snow made the night sky not so dark. There were bursts of firecrackers in the distance, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed from time to time in the night sky.
Her eyes were wet again. It was snowing on last year's New Year's Eve. She and Chu Xingluo returned to the palace after a family dinner in the palace. They saw fireworks in the distance. Long Yanqingyun also set off fireworks. She snuggled up to Chu Xingluo and watched the gorgeous fireworks. Everything was so beautiful.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting there. The cold wind had already made her face numb. Qi Nanfeng's voice rang out from behind her: "It's twelve o'clock. Let's go back and set off firecrackers!"
"Okay." Xia Taoyuan stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and returned home with Qi Nanfeng.
Prince Jing's Mansion, East Garden.
Chu Xingluo looked at the fireworks that appeared from time to time in the distant night sky. He also remembered last year's New Year's Eve. His heart ached. They said they would be together forever, but why did everything change?
"Your Highness, the emperor has sent someone to send a family banquet to the palace. Go and have a bite, otherwise the emperor will feel bad." Long Yan advised.
"You guys eat, and then let's set off the fireworks. Taotao will like it." Chu Xingluo said and went back to the house.
Standing in front of the portrait that he and Xia Taoyuan had painted when they got married, Chu Xingluo murmured, "Can I still wait for you?"
