259 thousand miles of marriage
"What is it?"
She didn't say anything, just painted it carefully, and then wrapped it with the prepared cotton cloth layer by layer.
He painted outside all day long, and his long and beautiful hands had already been frozen and cracked. Just now, even at night, she could touch the openings above, scratching her fingertips painfully.
He warmed his hands in his arms, and he also snuggled up to him tightly.
He didn't say anything for a long time, then slowly pulled out his hand, played under the pillow for a long time, took out something and put it in her hand.
A flat box.
Open it... A sweet breath goes straight into my heart.
Rouge......
"I know that rouge used to be made of roses, but now..."
"You know I don't need this..."
"It's almost the Spring Festival. Why do we have to have a new atmosphere, right?"
"Do you think I'm old?"
"Where is it?" In the night light, his pretentious eyes were still affectionate and spoiled: "I'm 80 years old, and I'm also a little girl who doesn't know much."
She smiled, but her nose was sore: "What do you think you're going to do this year?"
"If there are parents who will think about it, you can take a break. How thin have you been these days?" He touched her protruding collarbone with heartache.
"I think too many things have happened this year, and we will completely remove old and new clothes during the New Year, and everyone will make a new set of clothes..."
He smiled and said, "Then don't you want to be more tired?"
"What are you tired of?" She suddenly came to his senses: "Guess how much I made this day?"
whispered in his ear.
He immediately opened his eyes and then sighed, "It seems that I have to see more beautiful women tomorrow..."
I was immediately punched in the chest.
He was about to say something when he suddenly coughed.
Cheng Xueyan panicked and hurriedly poured water to feed him to drink, so she reluctantly stopped.
"Are you sick?"
He shook his head repeatedly and said hoarsely, "Didn't you beat him?"
"Where do I have it?"
"Come on, it's cold on the ground..."
This night, she always felt as if he wanted to say something to herself, but she didn't say anything.

A few years ago was really a good time to make money. This copper plate was covered with a layer of metal luster.
It's accounting time after dinner every day.
She can't use the abacus. At this time, she has no calculator, so she draws back and forth on the paper.
Consumables... income... expenses... piece of money distributed to everyone... every time it makes her a big head. It's not that she can't do arithmetic. The key is... There used to be computers, but now there are so many numbers...
"...eight plus 35 minus 12... Today's meal, plus 131 bracelets, 18 cents shipped, 565 small purses... I don't know if they have been sold, exchange two sets of 'Golden Rat Send Rui'... I bought another 496 cents of silk rope, 613 cents of debris... Oh, It's all messed up!"
She threw the goose angrily and patted her head hard.
"Now it's one, two, three and seventeen cents..."
Gu Haoxuan, who had been half leaning on ** reading, opened his mouth slowly.
looked at him suspiciously. When he talked in his dream, he grabbed the goose and concentrated twice. Suddenly, he stopped writing and looked over again suspiciously.
"A bracelet costs eight cents, thirty-nine pieces of shipment, twenty-seven pieces of labor, three cents per person for handicrafts, seven cents per person, net profit..."
"What else are you making? You're going to lose to death..." He still looked at the book and said slowly.
She puffed her cheeks, and the goose-ho calculated for a long time, and really lost nearly 500 yuan.
stared at him and suddenly her eyes lit up. How did she forget that this guy stunned He Qi's messenger with a digital problem in the court. Isn't this a ready-made calculator?
Immediately took the account book to his side and smiled.
"Do you think of me now?" He pretended to be a big name and turned over a page of "Heavenly Book".
He threw the account book into his arms angrily and shouted angrily, "Forget it!"
He quickly took it with a frightened look, but settled down: "This is..."
Cheng Xueyan doesn't know when Arabic numerals were introduced to China, but look at Gu Haoxuan's expression...
"I say it's up to you!" Hurry up and grab it.
Gu Haoxuan was not persistent. She reported a string of numbers, and he casually said the result.
The arithmetic problem that has to boil down half a lamp oil almost every night is clearly presented on the paper in an instant.
Cheng Xueyan nodded with satisfaction, but suddenly raised her face: "Have you been watching me fight alone?"
"I thought you disliked me and didn't want me to help." His face was full of grievances.
She quickly scratched the word "idle" on the paper and posted it on his forehead: "From now on, you are hired as the accountant of the 'Gu family shop'!"
He smiled and took off the paper on his forehead, glanced at it, and looked at Cheng Xueyan in disbelief.
Cheng Xueyan is struggling to make the most reasonable allocation of three, two or four silver earned today. It's the Spring Festival...
Looking up, he saw a strange light in his eyes: "What's wrong?"
He suddenly hugged her in his arms: "Yan'er, do you believe in fate?"
"Well, it's predestined to meet thousands of miles..." She still misses her account, but from modern to ancient times, it's more than a thousand miles of fate?
He grabbed the account book and threw it aside.
"Oh, you..."
All the remaining words were swallowed by him.
She whined and finally gave up struggling and fell into a piece of tenderness. Only the account book lay on the cold ground and flipped through the paper pages gently...
————————————————
Year seems to arrive in the blink of an eye.
Although it is depressed, the rules can be simplified but cannot be eliminated. Peach rune board, general charcoal, door god, welcoming the stove god... This is not only to respond to the season, but also to seek God's blessing as soon as possible, to get rid of the grievances and get out of the sea of suffering. Even if it still takes time, I begs for a smooth future and business to prosper.
As early as the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Ruizhu sent half of pork and some fruits and vegetables.
This time, I also brought my husband Hu Tu.
Cheng Xueyan saw that although the man was thick, he was very honest and couldn't say anything. She grinned and giggled. He doesn't have a good temper, but as long as Ruizhu stares at him, he will wither.
According to Qin Manhe's view, although Ruizhu is not very good, the Hu butcher is still spoiled, but she believes that as long as she can live a harmonious life, it is better than anything else.
The Ruizhu couple sat very late that day and left. As soon as they opened the door, they suddenly found two pairs of pheasants and hares side by side at the door. I don't know when there was a thin snowflake outside. On the thin snow, there was a string of footprints stretching straight to the door of the courtyard...
Until the New Year's Eve dinner, people in new clothes were still talking about foreign objects on this day... Who gave it?
Cheng Xueyan is a little suspicious of a person.
I remember that on the day the officers and soldiers came to the house, Yang Zhoucha was beaten so hard that he could not move but still protected Duan Zilan. After that, there was chaos, and the two people disappeared...
Originally, if there were such a strange thing, Qin Manhe should have done his best in his imagination, but today he is abnormal, smiling implicitly, sometimes distracted and his eyes flashing.
Isn't it her cousin's masterpiece? Cheng Xueyan thought to myself.
And more implicitly is Gu Shuihui, who is hot on the table and makes her face hazy. Her thoughts seemed to drift away from here, and her whole body looked a little excited and shy, a little like a girl Huaichun.
Cheng Xueyan found that she was often busy outside, and she couldn't understand these things at home more and more.
When he shook his head inadvertently, he was bumping into Gu Haoran's eyes floating through the heavy hot fog.
She smiled politely.
The eldest brother is also strange. He basically can't hear what he is saying or what he does. The place where he can be seen is the dinner table, and he occasionally meets in the courtyard. However, he seems to have met more and more recently. Every time he looks at himself so ethereally and deeply, as if he wants to stop talking, which makes her very puzzled. .
"Rich flowers are blooming..."
With the cheerful voice, a pot of steaming and happy dishes appeared on the table.
"What's the name of this dish?" Cheng Xueyan just didn't hear it clearly.
"Rich flowers bloom!" Bitong's dish is named as crisp: "The raw materials are cauliflower. Cut them one by one. First, soak them in salt water for a quarter of an hour, and then take them out with boiling water. Peel the carrots and cook them, and cut them into pieces with a hob knife. Potatoes are also peeled and cut them into pieces. Boil with salt water and drain them out. Remove the hard skin of the asparagus, scald them soft with boiling water, take them out and cut them into small sections. ; First stir-fry the potatoes with oil, add water to cook, add all the ingredients and stir-fry evenly, then take them out, add oil and other seasonings and add a glass of water, then return all kinds of vegetables to the pan to taste, and the soup is dried and serve. Madam, am I right?"
Gu Qian was the first to praise her: "Bitong is more and more capable now. She can go to the kitchen. I'm afraid this mother-in-law will catch up soon!"
Bitong was so ashamed that she suddenly lowered her head.
Dai Qianping changed her previous seriousness: "It's just a lottery. I hope our Gu family can see the clouds as soon as possible, everything goes well and the financial resources are widely improved!"
Everyone cheered. Gu Shuihui didn't know what to think of, and suddenly called coquettishly: "Third brother..."
Gu Haoxuan got up and left his seat. Later, he came in with paint and splashed a little color at the wall that had just been painted.
It turned out to be a New Year painting. In the middle is a large jeweled vase with peonies, ** and lilies, surrounded by fruit peaches, bergamot, grapes and cut watermelons.
Gu Shuihui squeezed his lips and smiled: "The third brother is really looking at his third sister-in-law. You see, this peony, ** symbolizes wealth and auspiciousness, lily means harmony between husband and wife, and that melon and fruit represent many sons and blessings... Third sister-in-law, shouldn't our family import more?
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Cheng Xueyan.
Cheng Xueyan immediately blushed: "Where is it? The longevity peach and bergamot clearly wish my parents a happy life, and there are also big brothers and sisters-in-law..."
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to themselves, Qin Manhe became rare and shy: "Nothing, my sister-in-law knows how to make fun of me..."
"Anyway, this rich flower and this rich flower are both good. Our Gu family will definitely become more prosperous next year!" Gu Qian is particularly optimistic.
