Suddenly remembering something, Dayan put down his book and quickly walked to the bedside, pulling back the pillow.

When Da'an saw the pair of silken flowers quietly lying beneath the pillow, he was also astonished.

"Could it be that Xiaohua, this little girl, doesn't like flowers?"

"Didn't you see it when you were making the bed?"

“These flowers have been here for ten days now, why haven't they been taken yet?”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dagan stood by the bed, holding the pair of silk flowers in his hand, a look of confusion on his face.

Just then, the back door creaked open again and Xiaohua came back.

Duanan turned around and saw Xiaohua. His eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and excitement.

This is a line break.

“Didn’t you go to sleep?” he asked.

Xiaohua: "That's right, my basket for sewing needles is here, I’m coming back to get it..."

Following her finger, Dayan saw a needlework basket on the stool beside the bed.

Previously, he was reading at his desk, while this girl was sitting here doing needlework.

Peace and quiet, with not a trace of presence.

"Oh, then come and get it." Datian said.

Hǎo xiǎo huā diǎn diǎn tóu, zǒu le guò lái, duān qǐ le zhēn xiàn bō luó.

As she turned to pass him, a glimpse of the pair of silk flowers in his hand caught her eye, and her foot faltered.

Suddenly, my heart ached again inexplicably. I clenched my teeth and turned to run out of the room.

Suddenly, an unseen force grabbed his arm.

Turning his head, he saw it was Dayan.

"Big Brother Dān'ān, what's wrong?" Xiaohua asked.

Da'an said, "There's also this thing, take it with you."

The flowers in her hand were tossed into the basket she was holding.

Xiaohua was stunned, her mind suddenly blank.

"Big Brother Da'an, this is...?" she asked, bewildered.

Da An felt a bit embarrassed and turned her face away, saying: “You’ve been taking such good care of me, attending to my food and lodging. It's quite a lot of work on you, especially during the New Year! You should wear these flowers instead!”

Having said that, he released her arm and quickly returned to his desk.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

He sat down and once more picked up the book, hiding his face behind it.

And on the other side of the bed, Xiaohua was also dumbfounded. Looking at the pair of silk flowers in the wicker basket, her whole mind couldn't keep up.

She didn't know how she got out of the house, nor did she know how she got back to her own room.

All I know is that I was like an idiot, sitting on the bed, letting the curtain down, holding the silk flowers in my palm, staring blankly, smiling foolishly, laughing foolishly...

Until the deafening sound of cannons echoed once again from the front yard, with every household within ten miles gradually opening its doors, Xiaohua finally came to her senses.

"So all this time, this flower was bought by Big An Gege to give to me?"

"No wonder he hid it under his pillow and inside the wardrobe, all places I frequently see..."

"Could it be that he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he put them in such obvious places, hoping I would see them myself and ask him for them?"

“Oh, big brother Dā'ān, you really don't understand girls at all.”

Even if I really liked this flower, I wouldn't dare to ask him for it. Ugh, ugh, ugh!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Xiaohua sat on the bed, holding the pair of beautiful silk flowers in her hands. She muttered to herself for a while, then giggled foolishly.

Over this period of time, all the doubts and hesitations in my heart have vanished in an instant.

All that remained was excitement and joy, along with the fluttering sensation of a young girl's first love.

This is her secret!

"Xiaohua, are you in the house?"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

As the shout came, Xiaoduo rushed in from outside with a flurry of steps.

Little Flower quickly hid the pair of silk flowers under her pillow, "Here they are, what's up?"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She responded with a sound, lifting the curtain to peek out.

Xiaoduo said, "Aunt San is going to cook dumplings for the New Year's Eve. Let's go help her."

Hearing the dumplings being cooked, Xiaohua hurriedly got out of bed and said, “Okay, let’s go together.”

With excitement, Xiaohua went to the kitchen with Xiaoduo to cook dumplings.

This is the 30th year I've spent New Year's Eve.

As for this year's New Year's Eve, the happiest moment was when we had dumplings. Although the filling was spicy beef, it tasted like honey to Xiaohua's mouth.

Some are joyful, some are sorrowful.

Old house.

Zhao Liuer, Li Xiuxin, and Cao Baimei, three sisters-in-law, were busy cooking dumplings in the kitchen.

Yang Yongjin and Yang Yongzhi, who had been playing cards, also came back. They set off firecrackers to open the door, and then everyone gathered in the dining hall to eat dumplings.

After finishing the dumplings, Yang Yongjin told Cao Baimei a word and went to the village to find Baozhu Yuzhu to continue playing cards.

They grew up together rolling around in the mud, and later worked together in the transportation team.

During this period, Yang Ruohong sent Yang Yongjin to a wine shop for training.

But Yang Yongjin's relationship with the brothers Baozhu and Yuzhu has never diminished.

So, during the last month of the year, Baozhu and his friends came to visit. They helped Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamai take a special day off.

Cao Baba agreed to let Yang Yongjin go out with them to play cards all night on New Year's Eve. So, after finishing their dumplings, Yang Yongjin put down his bowls and chopsticks, burped loudly, and went out the door.

“Yongzhi, Hong'er is still sleeping in the room. When you finish your meal, go back and keep her company. I'll stay here to wash the dishes and then go back to the room.”

Zhao Liuer said to Yang Yongzhi.

Yang Yongzhi nodded, got up and left the dining hall.

Zhao Liuer said to Li Xiuxin, "Sister-in-law, your brother seems to have had a bit too much to drink tonight. You shouldn't stay here any longer, hurry back and take care of your brother."

Li Xiu Xin glanced at the jumbled bowls and chopsticks on the table and said, “It’s fine, I’ll clean these up before leaving.”

Caobaime came over from the kitchen next door and said, "Sister-in-law, we'll manage here with Third Sister-in-law. You should go back and take care of Big Brother first. He drank so much wine, he might get sick in the night. Bring some hot water back just in case."

Li Xiu Xin thought about it and felt that it made sense.

“Well then, you two will have to take care of these dishes. I’ll wash all three meals tomorrow, you can rest up.” she said.

Caobaimei and Zhao Liuer glanced at each other, both of them smiled.

“Sister-in-law, you flatter me. These pots and pans are nothing. We’re family.” Cao Eight said.

"Well, I won't say much more. It's getting late. You should head to the front yard now." she added.

Li Xiuxin nodded and then turned to leave the dining hall.

In the dining hall, Cao Bama and Zhao Liuer started to clear up the bowls and chopsticks.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Second Sister-in-Law, is Second Brother not coming back all night tonight?" Zhao Liuer couldn't help but ask while washing up.

Cao Baimei nodded. "Yes, they made an appointment to play cards,"

Zhao Liuer laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are so good to your second brother. Letting him stay out all night without returning, aren't you and Xi Xiu afraid to sleep alone at night?"

First, set a small goal for yourself: For example, bookmark 笔趣阁's mobile version website: m.
