She had the same idea as Hongying at that time. She didn't listen to a word of Xu Qingzhao's words of comfort. Instead, she experienced the good of happiness herself and was convinced by her personality charm.

It's nothing, she's still so stubborn at the age of twenty-one. Besides, Hongying is only seventeen.

"Drinking to drown sorrow only makes it more sorrowful... drawing a sword to cut the water only makes it flow more. Hongying, what are you thinking about?"

Hongying lowered her head, looked at the Yaochi wine that was almost gone in the cup, took a sip and said:

"Xiao Yu'er, what does it feel like to like someone?"

"It's probably like this: I'm happy when I see her, and I feel sad when she's sad. I hope she's well..."

"Is that so?"

Yu Yan stood by the window, the candlelight flickering in front of her and the moonlight shining through the window onto her back, which made Hongying's heart stop for a moment.

On the other side, Huanxi also woke up from her sleep. Although her head was still dizzy, she didn't feel as uncomfortable anymore.

She was about to get up to get herself a glass of water when she noticed a suspicious person standing outside the window.

She got up quietly, walked to the window, and pushed it open, startling the people outside.

"Zi Dieyi? Why is it you?"

Zi Dieyi pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Why? Can't it be me?"

"What are you doing? Why are you wandering around instead of sleeping?" Standing outside her room, he always felt that this person was up to no good.

"Humph, you said it was a birthday present for you. You really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

Huanxi Xiaoxiao smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sao Rui Sao Rui, what's the gift, Dieyi? Can you open my eyes?"

Zi Dieyi glanced at her and threw the purse in her hand to her.

"Take it."

Huanxi took it and felt the purse was heavy. When she opened it, she found that it was full of white silver ingots.

I held it in my hand and tried it. It was about one hundred taels.

Is this an ancient red envelope? It's quite valuable.

"Is this all for me?"

Zi Dieyi said proudly: "What else? You are such a money-hungry guy, you should like these kinds of material possessions the most."

"Okay, okay, then I'll accept Boss Zi's red envelope. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

If this were on WeChat, I'd have to send a kowtow emoji...

Seeing her flattering look, Zi Dieyi felt that this woman was really as ugly as a bee.

At this time, Yuan Zhen also saw Huan Xi getting up, walked up to her, bowed, and said:

"Madam, Chunliu and the others have made some longevity noodles and are waiting for you to wake up so they can cook them."

"Longevity noodles?"

"Yes, ma'am. I know you didn't eat much tonight, so I left some food in the pot to keep warm."

I feel happy and warm inside. It feels so good to have someone thinking of you.

"Okay, I'm a little hungry. Let's go and eat. Chunliu is such a nice girl, she won't cook just for me. Let's all eat."

Going to the kitchen, Chunliu saw her come in and quickly asked Xia He to add firewood to the stove. When the bone soup boiled, she put the rolled noodles into the pot.

Take out the cooked noodles, beat an egg for two minutes, take out the noodles and put them in a bowl, then blanch two small cabbages and put them on top.

A simple longevity noodle is ready.

Huanxi felt her appetite whetted just by smelling the food. Hongying and Yuyan came running in, smelling the aroma. Seeing Huanxi about to pick up her chopsticks, they said,

"Sister Huanxi, you eat alone!"

Chun Liu smiled and said, "We have everything. Ladies, please sit down quickly. We have everything."

"Please sit down, I'll wait for you to eat together, so you don't have to scold me." Huanxi was coaxing a child.

Zi Dieyi also sat at the table, supporting her head with her hands, waiting for the delicious food in the pot.

Soon the table was filled with steaming noodles, and everyone's stomachs were rumbling with delight.

"Chun Liu Xia He, Yuan Zhen Su Yun, you've been tired all day, why don't you all eat together? I think there's still a lot left in the pot."

"Madam, this is something we made. I hope you will be happy every year."

Yuanzhen took out two pairs of cloth shoes. Huanxi took them and saw that there were thick embroidered insoles inside.

The two pairs of shoes are different in color, but the stitching is delicate and the materials are solid. You can tell at a glance that they were made with great care.

"Suyun drew the pattern, Chunliu made the shoe outline, and Xiahe made the sole. I mainly embroidered. I didn't have anything else to give to Madam, so I made two pairs of shoes so that Madam could wear them comfortably."

After listening to Yuanzhen's introduction, I was moved to tears of joy. This shoe design is not something that can be made overnight. It must have been prepared a long time ago.

"This... I'll take it. Don't worry, I'll definitely wear it wherever I go. I won't let you do this in vain!"

Hearing Madam say this, the women felt relieved. They were worried that Madam would not like it.

The lady is a good person. She never treats them as servants, but more like friends.

The lady would ask for their opinions, praise them for doing a good job, take them out to relax, and give them the greatest degree of freedom.

They had nothing else to offer in return, so they made a pair of shoes, hoping that the lady could walk higher and higher...

Zi Dieyi on the side...

He gave her a hundred taels! A hundred taels! This woman didn't even show that kind of reaction...

As expected...it changes like a face...

After eating this bowl of longevity noodles, she officially turned twenty and entered twenty-one.

She has been in this world for almost eight months, and sometimes she gets so immersed in it that she forgets she came from another world.

From being unfamiliar with the place to being able to handle things with ease now, she also marveled at the changes in herself in the past eight months.

"Hmm... delicious, you are worthy of it, Chunliu, this little taste is really good."

The few people who were sitting in front of the stove, warming themselves by the fire and holding bowls of noodles, all smiled with satisfaction when they heard her praise.

"By the way, Yuanzhen, when the heavy snow hit the new house, Foreman Cui stopped working. He's been off for almost seven or eight days now. Has he said when he'll start working again?"

Yuan Zhen took a sip of the noodle soup in her bowl and said, "Madam, Foreman Cui came the other day and said that snowing is a minor issue. It will freeze when it melts. The snow has almost melted in the past two days. I'll go and urge them to do something about it."

"Okay, hurry them up and get them there faster. The New Year is coming soon, so they can go back home to celebrate the New Year."

Foreman Cui was also anxious, waiting to take the money home to his wife and daughter-in-law.

So when the snow was almost melted, I recruited a few men from the village to catch up on the lost progress.

Huanxi had noodles that night, and Yuyan pulled her into the house. The birthday gift she prepared for Huanxi turned out to be a contract.

"Selling your body? Yanyan, what are you doing?"

"You saved my life, and there's nothing I can do to repay you. So I'll spend the rest of my life with you, working like a slave for you, and dedicating my life to you."

Huanxi shook her head, smiled, picked up the contract, and burned it over the candlelight until only ashes remained. She said earnestly:

"It wasn't me who saved you, it was the immortal who saved you. Besides, we are friends and sisters. I hope you can live for yourself, not for anyone else. Do you understand... Yanyan."

This was just a small episode. When bigger things happened in the village, Huanxi was still at home preparing Laba porridge for the children.
