Chapter 23 Annual Ceremony

"Yes, Orchid."

"This kid is so happy."

The women joked one after another.

Li Lanhua smiled sheepishly, carefully put away the money, and then strode into the room with high spirits to continue knitting clothes.

Li Tieniu continued to complete the work that made him both excited and nervous.

"Chen Fangfang, ten pairs of socks, six tops, seven pairs of pants, a total of two hundred and six cents!"

"You brat! How dare you call me by your first name! No matter how old or young you are." Aunt Li was so angry that she slapped the little son in front of her on the head.

Li Tieniu felt extremely wronged. He touched his beaten head pitifully and begged: "Mom! This is what is written in this booklet. It has nothing to do with me."

"Auntie, it's like this. Our village mainly has the surname Li. No, in order to make it easier to distinguish, we recorded the maiden name of everyone. This makes it easier to settle accounts. Don't blame Tieniu. He is also innocent. You have to

Just blame me." Jiang Hexi hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

How could Aunt Li dare to blame her? She said anxiously: "I don't blame you, I'm just not used to it. Except for my father, mother and brothers, no one has called me by my name for a long time."

As she said this, Aunt Li sighed, which made the women with her husband's surname in the yard blush.

Jiang Hexi looked at it, thought for a moment, looked at everyone seriously, and said solemnly: "But in the future, we will no longer be people who can only rely on our husbands to survive. We can also make money with our own abilities. In the future, others will ask us

name, we will tell them our real names openly."

"Xi'er is right, my name is Qin Hehua. Why, Li Tiezhu, are you not convinced?" Madam Li roared and stared at Li Tiezhu threateningly.

Li Tiezhu felt that he was extremely unjust. He was obviously standing in the corner and did nothing, so why did disaster suddenly come from the sky!

"Okay, you still don't know how honest Tiezhu is? You! Just don't embarrass him." Widow Zhang on the side couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

"That's right, Lotus, calm down."

"Yeah, don't be angry."

"Be happy, today is a good day."

Seeing everyone smiling at her, Qin Hehua blushed with embarrassment and stopped yelling.

Next, Li Tieniu continued to settle wages.

From time to time, cheers came from the small yard of the Jiang family, making the other villagers of Ping'an Village passing by envious.

When everyone had finished their work and left, Liu Yingfang looked at Jiang Hexi with a troubled expression.

"Liu Ying, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" Jiang Hexi was a little surprised. After all, Liu Ying has always been someone who can't hold back her words.

Liu Ying bit her lip and whispered like a mosquito: "Girl, can I learn knitting from you?"

"Of course!" Jiang Hexi said with a smile.

"But haven't you always disliked female celebrities? Why did you suddenly think of wanting to learn this?" Upon hearing Liu Ying's strange request, Jiang Hexi couldn't help but become curious.

Liu Ying seemed extremely embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before slowly saying: "I am not thinking that the general and the others have already returned to Beijing. They will not come back until next spring. I have to give them some New Year's gifts."

"But who would give the clothes they made as a New Year's gift to others? I think this is not a New Year's gift for General Huo, but a token for someone!" Although Jiang Hexi does not understand the etiquette of New Year's gifts,

But after all, he knew some things about the girl in the boudoir, so he couldn't help but laugh.

"Let me guess, this year's gift should be given to Yu Bai?" Jiang Hexi filtered the suitable candidates in her mind and found that she could only think of Huo Yubai who met the requirements.

"No, how could it be him!" Upon hearing this, Liu Ying lost her shyness and immediately retorted loudly.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Hexi didn't look like she was angry. On the contrary, she really wasn't Huo Yubai. She couldn't help but wonder, "Who is that?"

However, Liu Ying hesitated and refused to say anything. She just rubbed her neck and said, "Girl, just tell me whether you want to teach me or not? If you don't want to teach me, I'll go find Sister Hehua."

As Liuying was about to walk to the next door, Jiang Hexi hurriedly stopped her and said helplessly: "What are you doing in such a hurry? I didn't say I won't teach you, so why don't I stop asking?"

Liuying was now satisfied and no longer resisted.

Jiang Hexi thought of Huo Jingchen, who had been back in Beijing for a long time. She hesitated and said, "By the way, give a copy to General Huo and Duke Wen! Since you don't want others to know your little thoughts, it's better to hide them."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, girl!" Liuying happily agreed, hugging Jiang Hexi and acting coquettishly.

Jiang Hexi looked at the childish Liuying tenderly and felt that the years were peaceful.
