Sister-in-law Hongying brought Niu Niu with her when she came. She was afraid that when she turned around, he would not know where he had gone. When the weather got cold, thick clothes had to be worn carefully, otherwise they would not have to change after washing, so everyone would Take care of your children and not run around like usual.
This was Niu Niu's first time at Song Yingwan's house. Everywhere he looked was strange, but he was also very polite, just to make sure he didn't run around and touch things.
Song Yingwan hated naughty children the most, but he was still very good to Niu Niu. Sister-in-law Hongying taught him well, he was lively and polite, and he was very lovable.
I took out the things I had prepared for them early in the morning and gave each of them a pack of candied haws and sugar snowballs. The weather was much colder now. Even after a night, the sugar on the hawthorns had not melted. They looked just like the ones I had just made yesterday. There is no difference when it comes out.
Aunt Guihua and Sister-in-law Hongying looked at the tightly wrapped things and became curious.
Aunt Guihua looked at it for a while without understanding it, so she simply asked, "What is this?"
Song Yingwan smiled and didn't answer her question. After handing the things over, she said, "You'll know if you open it and take a look."
"It's still mysterious..."
"Hey, this is red from the mountains. Why is it so shiny?"
Auntie Guihua recognized it immediately after opening it.
Song Yingwan took one and handed it to Niu Niu and said, "I was thinking about it in my spare time, so I coated it with sugar. You guys should try it. It's delicious."
Auntie Osmanthus pinched one and looked at it over and over, "My dear, isn't that what it's called...sugar...sugar..."
The name is on my lips, but I can't think of it.
"It's candied haws." Niu Niu took a bite and said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, it's that gourd."
Sister-in-law Hongying saw that the fruit was big, red, and crystal clear, and she said distressedly, "Doesn't this cost a lot of sugar?"
Song Yingwan raised her eyebrows and said in a brisk tone, "Candy, I eat it no matter what I eat. You see, the hawthorn is covered with a thin layer, but it's not much use."
Aunt Guihua looked at the things in her hands with a sigh on her face, "We have gained some experience."
After that, I took a bite carefully. It was sour and sweet in my mouth. The layer of sugar wrapped on the outside was crunchy and crunchy. Not to mention, it was really delicious.
Normally, one bite of this fruit would make one's teeth sore, but I didn't expect it to be eaten like this. It just consumes too much sugar, Auntie Osmanthus thought while eating.
Niu Niu didn't think so much, he just thought it was delicious. He was holding the one that Song Yingwan handed him. It took him a long time to take a lick and said with a smile: "Sister Wanwan, you are so amazing. This It’s the most delicious Shanlihong I’ve ever tasted.”
After hearing this, Song Yingwan touched his little head and said softly, "If it's delicious, eat more. This is all for you."
Sister-in-law Hongying frowned and said solemnly, "Ying Wan, don't spoil him. Just eat two to taste. How can you eat so much?"
"Don't worry, I still have some left. These are reserved for you. These fruits are picked in the mountains for free."
"But……"
Sister-in-law Hongying wanted to say more, but Song Yingwan interrupted, "No, I won't accept anything you don't want from me in the future."
She paused and then said, "Aunt Osmanthus, take it too, go back and give it to the children at home."
Having said this, no matter how polite they were, they seemed to be harsh. Sister-in-law Hongying and Aunt Guihua looked at each other. They knew each other well. They knew each other's character after being together for so long, so they stopped being awkward.
Sister-in-law Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'm welcome."
He lowered his head and saw that his son was eating happily, almost licking off the sugar coating. He shook his head helplessly, "Niu Niu, you must remember the kindness of your sister Wanwan for bringing you so many delicious foods."
Niu Niu responded obediently, "Remember, Sister Wanwan is the best. I will kowtow to you after the Chinese New Year."
As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent. The next second, someone burst out laughing. Several people laughed one after another. Only Niu Niu looked confused, scratching his head and unable to figure out the situation.
Sister-in-law Hongying looked at her silly son and couldn't laugh or cry, "I can't give such a big gift to your sister Wanwan."
Song Yingwan also smiled with crooked eyebrows, "A man has gold under his knees, so he can't knock his head randomly."
Auntie Guihua said, "This cow is really interesting. His brain is very smart at first sight."
Although Niu Niu didn't know what the adults were laughing at, he understood that the last sentence was to praise him, so he quickly nodded in response,
"Grandma also often says I'm smart."
Aunt Guihua was so amused that she laughed, and the surrounding atmosphere became much more relaxed and pleasant for a while.
After a while, he came back to express his thanks. He and Xu Lang had gone there just now and didn't know what they were doing. When they walked to the door, they heard the hearty laughter coming from inside, and the yard became more lively.
It was Aunt Guihua who saw the person first. Ever since she last saw Xie Ci washing dishes and doing housework at home, she had a good impression of him. Now she likes him more and more the more she sees her, with a loving and friendly face, "Hey, Xiao Xie is back?"
He just said thank you very rarely, but as long as he wanted to, normal social interaction was no problem. He nodded slightly and said gently, "Well, hello, Auntie."
He behaved calmly and generously, with a gentle attitude and no airs at all. Aunt Guihua was also happy when she heard this. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, "Oh, okay, everything is fine."
When he turned his eyes, he saw the girl looking at him leisurely. With a smile on his face, he walked over to Song Yingwan and sat down next to her, as if he were having a long conversation.
This is indeed the case. He speaks in an orderly manner and behaves well and politely, making people feel comfortable and not embarrassed. Although it is the first time to talk to Aunt Guihua and Sister-in-law Hongying, he can always find topics. For them Song Yingwan was also able to give appropriate responses to his questions, which made Song Yingwan look confused.
Seeing how lively they were chatting, those who didn't know it thought it was a meeting of old friends of decades. Song Yingwan couldn't even get a word in, so bored that she could only play with Niu Niu.
When the first person left, Aunt Guihua was still unfinished, muttering to herself, this little Xie really knows how to talk.
After thanking him and sending him out, he turned around and saw Song Yingwan looking at him with a smile but not a smile, with a hint of consideration in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and chuckled, walked over and tucked a strand of hair hanging down from the side of her face behind her ear, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Song Yingwan's face was a little heated by his action, and she couldn't help but lean back, and whispered softly, "Why didn't I know you were so eloquent before?"
The smile between his brows and eyes became even bigger, one hand fell on her slender waist, and he brought her back with a little force, his voice was calm and calm, "If you like me to talk more, then I will talk more in the future. "
