Chapter 852 Love

Baishui Liu likes this bracelet alone.

Thinking again of the person who sent the bracelet...

Bai Shuiliu pursed her lips and her cheeks turned slightly red.

The next day is Bai Shuiliu’s birthday.

In the morning, you should eat boiled eggs and drink rice and red date porridge. If the boiled eggs are whole and just fished out, take two of them, hold them in your left and right hands, and roll them from the top of your head to your heels, which means to get rid of evil spirits and bless you. May all your wishes come true in a year of peace.

The rice and red date porridge means that there is white rice to eat all year round, which is sweet and prosperous.

After breakfast, when the sun rose in the sky, Su Mulan took the peach wood comb specially made for Bai Shuiliu and combed Bai Shuiliu's hair.

The black hair all over her head poured down the back of her head like a waterfall. She applied some osmanthus oil and combed it carefully, then put her hair into an ordinary bun. She took the sandalwood hairpin prepared by Baishitang for Baishuiliu and fixed it in place. .

This and the hairpin ceremony are completed.

"Shui Liu will be the grown-up from now on." Su Mulan looked at Bai Shuiliu in front of her, who was already taller than herself, and sighed with emotion.

The first time I met Bai Shuiliu, she had just traveled through time and was still confused.

At that time, Bai Shuiliu was thin and frail, with a look of fear and timidity on her face. She was extremely afraid of her, but she also acted like an eldest sister and protected her younger siblings in everything.

In the blink of an eye, the bean sprouts have grown into a tall and graceful girl and become an adult.

"No matter how you are an adult, you are still your mother's child." Bai Shuiliu leaned on Su Mulan's shoulder and started to act coquettishly.

"Yes, no matter how old you are, you are still a child. In front of your mother, you will always be a child." Bai Shuiliu stretched out his hand and scratched Bai Shuiliu's nose, and smiled knowingly.

Bai Shuiliu is too sensible and well-behaved, but sometimes she is a little too old-fashioned. Su Mulan has always been worried that she is too sensible and tolerant, and her life will be harder in the future. But now seeing that she is becoming more and more childlike, she feels in her heart On the contrary, it was quite a relief.

And Bai Shuiliu, holding Su Mulan's shoulders, had a happy sweet smile on her face.

Bai Shitang on the side was a little dissatisfied, "Looking at your attitude, do you think you only have your mother in your eyes and you don't have me as your father?"

“Of course I can’t. I am filial to my mother and I am also filial to my father. But I feel that since my father loves my mother so much, he will be happier if I am more filial to my mother.”

Bai Shuiliu chuckled and said, "What do you want to eat, mother, at noon? I can cook it for you? I remember that mother likes sour and spicy food. How about I cook pickled fish for you at noon?"

"You are the birthday boy today, so you have to take a rest." Bai Shitang said with a smile, "You have no appetite for anything to eat this summer. I discussed with your mother to make some barbecue for lunch. As for your mother, You told me last night that I wanted to eat hot and sour noodles. Later I will make the hot and sour noodles and eat them with hanging oven pancakes and spicy dried tofu. "

 Seeing that Bai Shitang has made arrangements, Bai Shuiliu agreed, but also helped Bai Shitang with some preparations for the dishes.

Shao Anping also came to help, cutting vegetables, preparing sauces, etc.

“Your parents look very loving.”

Shao Anping sighed with emotion when he had some free time.

"Yes." Bai Shuiliu nodded, "Many people are very envious."

No wonder.

Probably only a gentle and loving couple can raise a girl as gentle, tough, beautiful and kind-hearted as Bai Shuiliu.

 And his parents... Shao Anping couldn't help but tighten the handle of the kitchen knife in his hand.

Baishui Liu saw Shao Anping's sad expression and knew that he was remembering something unpleasant at home, so he changed the subject, "Have you cut the eggplant? Remember to change the knife so that it will be more delicious when poured with garlic sauce."

“It’ll be ready soon.” Shao Anping stopped thinking and just got busy.

The charcoal fire was lit, mutton slices, pork belly were cooked, and various vegetables were put on the barbecue grill. It can be said that the yard was filled with a fragrant smell.

Everyone ate happily, and Xie Guangbai on the side had a mouth full of oil.

Don't say it, he was absolutely right in agreeing to Bai Shitang to stay here!

The next day, Shopkeeper Liao, Bai Shuiliu and others set out early for Fucheng. Before leaving, Baishitang stuffed a cart full of things.

Spicy cabbage turned into eggs, home-pickled dried apricots, peaches in sugar water, and even a lot of food to fill their stomachs on the road.

Bai Shuiliu was reluctant to leave home again, but now that she was an adult, she naturally couldn't act on her own accord like a child. Moreover, if he showed too much reluctance, it would also make his parents feel even more sad.

Baishui Liu suppressed these emotions in her heart and only told Su Mulan to take good care of the fetus and to inform her when she was about to give birth.

Su Mulan agreed wholeheartedly and told Baishui Liu to take good care of herself.

It wasn't until it was getting late that he put Bai Shuiliu into the carriage.

After seeing off the group, Bai Lixia and Gu Yunxi went to clan school. Su Mulan was already yawning sleepily.

 Bai Shitang helped her into the room and lay down to sleep for a while. It was around noon before he asked her to get up for lunch.

As soon as he put down his rice bowl, the matchmaker Ma entered the yard.

"It's a coincidence that both of you and your wife are here." Mr. Ma has been a matchmaker for many years, and his voice is loud and high. When he speaks now, his voice is as loud as a bell, and his laughter is hearty, "I remember that my brother and sister like to eat sour food. , The early apples at home are sour and sweet, it’s just right to eat them now, bring some over to your siblings.”

The apples in a small bamboo basket are quite big, green-skinned, and look plump and round.

Sumulan originally liked sour and spicy food, but when she saw this green apple, her mouth almost overflowed.

"Sister-in-law Ma is kind, so I won't be polite." Su Mulan asked Bai Shitang to wash it first, cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate, and eat it with a small bamboo skewer.

The apples are juicy and crisp, and the sourness is strong enough to make the apples a joy to eat.

Afraid that Mr. Ma wouldn’t be able to eat this kind of apple, Bai Shitang served a plate of cleanly washed sweet apricots.

Ma took Tian Xing'er and talked to Su Mulan while eating, "Sister-in-law is here today because she has something to tell her younger siblings. Isn't your Shuiliu already fifteen, and has she decided on a family?" "

“I just had my birthday yesterday, so I didn’t have time to do anything about it.” Su Mulan replied with a smile.

"Well, I have a few good ones here. Can you tell me which one is better?" Ma grinned and talked eloquently.

After listening for a while, Su Mulan finally understood the general idea.

The grandson of Mr. Qian is an upright person, honest and kind-hearted. He has already passed the examination to become a scholar. If he passes the examination next year, he will be able to pass the imperial examination. The family is considered to be a well-educated family, with several properties, shops, etc., and the family is well off. , if we really want to find something wrong, it is that she is not very tall, and is taller than the average girl with a pointed head.
