What? Xia Chu watched the figure disappear on the rooftop, revealing its face and running away.
She held out her hand, and in the bright moonlight, she could make out a little rabbit. I didn't know what kind of jade it was, but it was white, like a cloud. It was bare, with no string or tassel.
A gift for myself? Why didn't he say Happy Mid-Autumn Festival? What kind of gift would require climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to deliver it? A few days ago, I thought he had grown up and still loved climbing over the wall like he did when he was a child.
Xia Chu was a little confused, so she closed the window and returned to bed. She played with the rabbit jade pendant, wondering why this guy had suddenly given her a gift.
Could it be? It shouldn't be possible, right? It's not impossible. But... it feels a little weird.
Xia Chu was wandering in a garden somewhere when Zhao Huazhang suddenly appeared from the sky, holding a bouquet of flowers and blushing, and said, "I like you. Will you marry me?"
"Ah? So sudden?" Xia Chu was speechless, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or frightened.
Zhao Huazhang mustered up the courage to raise his head, a shy expression frozen on his face. "Who are you? Where's Xia Chu?"
Xia Chu was stunned, "That's me." She took out a mirror from somewhere and found that she had turned into an aunt in her thirties or forties, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
"Woof woof woof..." A sudden dog barking was heard.
Xia Chu suddenly opened her eyes and touched her face. It was still white and tender, even with a slight fuzzy feel.
Scared to death!
She got up and looked in the mirror. It was still the same girl. What kind of dream was this?
"Awoo awoo awoo awoo... Woof woof woof..." Xiao An nudged Xia Chu's legs, wanting her to go out.
"Get up, wait a moment." Xia Chu staggered after being knocked by it, "Don't push, don't push."
When I left the house, I realized I'd gotten up late and everyone was already out. But there was still warm water in the pot, porridge, and some side dishes, and pickles on the stove, covered with a mulch.
After breakfast, she watered the flowers at home, cut some laurel blossoms in full bloom, and replaced them with fresh ones in everyone's room. The sweet aroma in the room brightened everyone's mood.
Afterwards, I played the ball throwing and picking up game with An and An, played the pipa for a while, and continued to write the song I remembered last Mid-Autumn Night.
As September approached, Mo Qingmei sent in her first share of the profits. All thirty copies of the sheet music she had printed had sold out, and someone specifically came to inquire about the composer. The shopkeeper, having received instructions, gave a vague explanation and passed the matter off.
Mo Qingmei could never understand why a woman would give herself such a nickname. "Are you really not going to change your nickname?"
Xia Chu was overjoyed every time she thought of this nickname. She had no idea what she was thinking at the time. She'd been carefully selecting for days, but couldn't find anything she was satisfied with. Suddenly, she remembered the name of her shopping account in her past life: Xia Dazhuang.
That was because there were always news reports about single women being trampled by food delivery drivers and couriers, and people were advised to change their names to men. She suddenly had a brainwave and changed her ID to male, with the name Xia Dazhuang.
When she was giving herself a nickname, she suddenly thought of this incident and named herself the String Warrior.
Who would have thought that the plucked-string warrior was a woman?
Xia Chu Ren smiled and said, "Isn't this great? If people find out one day, the shock on their faces will surely be very interesting."
"Your way of having fun is really unique." Mo Qingmei couldn't help laughing after she said that.
"I wrote a new song recently. Would you like to listen to it?" Xia Chu smiled and picked up the pipa.
"listen."
It was another day off at the academy, and Wang Qiuyu got up early in the morning and urged Xia Chu to grill meat.
"It's a good day off. I'm going to the shop today to build a stove with my second brother." Xia Chu discussed with him, "How about tomorrow?"
Wang Qiuyu hung his head in disappointment. "But I finally persuaded Zhao Fengling to come to our house and even promised to treat him to barbecue."
Zhang Zhou heard the conversation between the two and said, "I can go alone. My uncle can help. You don't have to go."
"Okay then, I'll go buy some food to entertain our Qiuyu's friends." Xia Chu couldn't help teasing as he looked at Wang Qiuyu, who was happy again.
Wang Qiuyu jumped up and down and said, "I'll go too, to help Sister get her things."
"Have you agreed on a time?" Zhang Zhou asked.
Wang Qiuyu shook his head, "No, he said he was coming for lunch."
Zhang Zhou said, "If they say they're going to have lunch, they won't rush to eat. They'll definitely arrive early. You'd better not go out. What if someone comes and you're not home?"
What the second brother said made sense. Wang Qiuyu nodded and said, "Okay."
Guan Xu came over and said, "I'm going with Xiaochu to buy some things and go back to see my grandmother."
Xia Chu responded. Guan Xu was closest to his grandmother and would go back whenever he had time. He would accompany her when everyone was free, but would go back alone when everyone was busy.
Zhao Fengling arrived mid-morning, accompanied by Zhao Huazhang. Xia Chu felt a little awkward seeing Zhao Huazhang, having previously dreamed about him. She wanted to ask about the jade pendant, but was afraid the answer would only make things worse.
Zhao Huazhang had been upset for two days about what he had done last time, but he had already sent it off. He had come here with his nephew today to test Xia Chu's attitude.
Wang Qiuyu happily received Zhao Fengling. Although he was a little cold, he also excitedly imitated his mother and sister, brewing tea and serving snacks. "Have tea, these are the snacks my sister made herself. They are delicious."
With a grill, you can make so many things. It's a pity that I didn't think about it before the beginning of summer, and I missed out on so many delicious foods.
She had some free time and tried making biscuits and bread, just the most basic ones. At first, they would burn, taste bland, or be too sweet.
But she had some talent, and after a few attempts, she was now able to make something that looked pretty good. Everyone in the family thought it was good, especially Wang Qiuyu, who loved eating it the most.
Upon hearing that Xia Chu had made it, Zhao Huazhang silently stuffed one into his mouth. It wasn't as soft and fluffy as other pastries, but it was crispy and not overly sweet, making it a great snack.
He ate another piece, which was soft and fluffy, also not sweet, but with the aroma of honey.
Zhao Fengling watched his uncle reaching for the snacks and couldn't help but whisper, "Uncle, are you hungry?"
Zhao Huazhang paused, "A little bit."
"It must be delicious! Everything my sister cooks is delicious!" Wang Qiuyu puffed out his chest.
Zhao Huazhang nodded in agreement.
"Zhao Fengling, let's go play." Wang Qiuyu pulled him, "Do you like dogs? Our Da'an and Xiao'an are so cute and playful."
To be honest, Zhao Fengling was a little afraid of the two dogs and looked at his uncle hesitantly.
Zhao Huazhang saw his timidity and patted his shoulder, "Go and play, those two dogs are well-raised."
Zhao Fengling had no choice but to go.
Xia Chu finished marinating the meat and went to the grill. Last time, she hadn't marinated it long enough, so the flavor wasn't as good as she'd hoped. But she was quite good at making the crispy skin.
"Madam Wang," Zhao Huazhang said, standing a few steps away, "Do you need my help?"
