The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife - Chapter 389

   Chapter 389 The Best Gift

   A hosta is lying there quietly, transparent and lustrous, and at first glance it is a good thing of great value.

   “Do you like it?” Xie Heng asked.

   Zhao Chuchu nodded, “I like it, can you help me put on the hairpin?”

   Xie Heng smiled, picked up the jade hairpin and inserted it in Zhao Chuchu’s hair, just as he imagined, this jade hairpin and Zhao Chuchu are very suitable.

“is it nice?”

“very nice.”

   Xie Heng said, and dragged Zhao Chuchu to the bronze mirror.

  There is a jade hairpin on the plain bun, which really shows that Zhao Chuchu’s temperament is different.

   Xie Heng has a good eye.

   Zhao Chuchu likes this gift very much.

   However, Zhao Chuchu did not specially prepare gifts. All the jades he had collected before were sold in exchange for supplies, and he really couldn’t come up with a decent gift for Xie Heng for a while.

   When Zhao Chuchu was worrying, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: There is no such thing as jade, but she still has a lot of electronic products!

   Even if charging was not possible in this era, she also stocked up a lot of batteries that could be charged with solar energy.

   Zhao Chuchu took out a tablet computer with a lot of information from the space and handed it to Xie Heng.

   “This is our tool for recording. Not only does it take up less space, but it is also very portable. Besides, it is also a good way to pass the time.”

   Zhao Chuchu said, turned on the tablet, and taught Xie Heng how to use it.

   Xie Heng was very curious when he came into contact with such high-tech things for the first time, and Xie Heng also knew at this moment that the words in Zhao Chuchu’s world were similar to the ones they used now, except that they lacked arms and legs.

   “By the way, this can also type your text, just switch it to traditional Chinese.”

“how to use?”

   “Here, do you see these keys? You can type gestures as you usually write. Another one, you can also write directly, but this feels slower.”

  Xie Heng watched Zhao Chuchu demonstrate the handwriting function to him, and once again sighed at the power of that world.

   The characters written here are not only neat, but the size of each character is the same, which looks indescribably pleasing to the eye.

   Xie Heng likes this unique gift very much.

   After Zhao Chuchu taught for a while, Xie Heng had a good grasp of the use of the tablet and began to slowly explore the usefulness of the tablet.

   “Chuchu, isn’t that the case here?”

   “Chuchu, is this a compass?”

   “Chuchu, does this show the time?”

  …

   “Yes, it’s a compass. Our time is different from your algorithm. You have twelve hours, and we have twenty-four hours. That is, one hour for you is equivalent to two hours for us…”

   Zhao Chuchu by the way gave Xie Heng the Arabic numerals and the time conversion between the later generations.

   Xie Heng is smart, he understands as soon as he hears it.

   After that, he didn’t continue to ask Zhao Chuchu, but played alone.

   Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Xie Heng’s interest.

   It’s just that she didn’t bother Xie Heng anymore, after all, men love electronic products as much as they do machinery.

   When Xie Heng came back to his senses, Zhao Chuchu had already lay down and fell asleep.

  Xie Heng carefully put the tablet aside, bowed his head and kissed Zhao Chuchu’s forehead.

   Zhao Chuchu opened his eyes and took a look, smiled at Xie Heng, and then fell asleep again.

   “Thank you.” Xie Heng said in a low voice.

   This is the best gift he has ever received.

   He loves it.

   Xie Heng didn’t continue to play the tablet, but lay down beside Zhao Chuchu and closed his eyes to sleep contentedly.

   The next morning.

   Zhao Chuchu was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

   Xie Heng didn’t know when he had woken up, but his bed was still warm, so he must have just woken up.

   The tablet was placed on the pillow by Xie Heng, one can imagine how much he cherished this gift.

   Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but be amused.

   It’s a pity that she doesn’t have any protective cover in her space, so she can’t give it to Xie Heng.

While    was thinking about it, Xie Heng came into the room.

“I was just about to wake you up and told you to set off firecrackers. Would you wake up and get up? We’ll have breakfast later.” Xie Heng walked over and brought Zhao Chuchu’s clothes together. ” May I help you put it on?”

   “No, no.” Zhao Chuchu refused. It’s better to do this kind of thing yourself. Otherwise, if the gun goes off the rails, the impact on the first day of the new year will not be good.

   Xie Heng was a little disappointed.

   But he didn’t continue to stay in the room: “Then I’ll go out and set off firecrackers first, get up quickly.”

“it is good.”

   After Xie Heng went out, Zhao Chuchu dressed as quickly as possible.

   There was a lot of cannon fire outside, and the children who usually sleep late got up early today.

  The reason is very simple, that is, you can visit the house to pay New Year’s greetings and collect a lot of snacks, which is also the reason why children like the New Year.

   Many children came to the Xie family, and Zhao Chuchu heard that Xie Jun was giving them snacks.

   Zhao Chuchu has received many years of gifts. Of course, there will be no shortage of snacks. Compared with other people, there are more kinds and better taste.

   In addition, Zhao Chuchu also took out some fruit candies from the space that are not available here, which are more popular with children. After all, even if you want to eat candy at this moment, it is a very luxurious thing.

   Although there is no custom of giving red envelopes here, but in Zhao Chuchu’s previous life, this was a tradition, even if she came to another world, Zhao Chuchu could not lose this tradition, which at least proved that she really lived in another world.

   Zhao Chuchu specially made a lot of silver melon seeds a few years ago, which was used to seal red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

   “Come, come, this is the red envelope I prepared for you. I wish you good health and grow up fast in the new year.” Zhao Chuchu took the red envelope and sent it out to the children who came to pay New Year’s greetings.

  The children were stunned.

Xie Jun said happily: “This is a red envelope, which is given to the younger by older people. I have it too. Please accept it. My sister-in-law said that after receiving the red envelope, the new year will be safe and sound, good luck. Dali.”

   “But we didn’t have one before?”

  The children looked at each other and did not dare to accept the red envelopes.

   Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “This is my little intention. I can’t refuse the red envelope on the first day of the new year. In that case, I will not have a smooth year.”

   As soon as these words came out, the children did not dare to refuse any more, so they quickly accepted it.

   “Thank you, Sister Chu Chu.”

   “You still have to tell my sister-in-law, Gong Xi Fa Cai.”

“Wish you prosperity and wealth.”

   “Hahaha.” Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help laughing.

  Xie Jun is such a lovely child.

  The children didn’t expect to receive red envelopes in addition to snacks, and they were happier.

   After returning home, he quickly gave the red envelope to his parents and told them that it was given by Zhao Chuchu.

  The adults were stunned, and they didn’t know where this custom came from, and for a while they didn’t know how to reply to Zhao Chuchu.

  I originally wanted to return it, but I heard the children say that they could not refuse, and they could only let the children accept it. In the end, a few close friends discussed how to return the gift.

   Zhao Chuchu didn’t know that he was just looking for some thoughts of his past life, but he made their parents so serious and cautious.

   After breakfast, she went to the drying farm with Xie Jun.

   Niu An and the others are cleaning up the **** left by the fireworks last night to prepare for the afternoon event.

   For them, this kind of activity is equivalent to a temple fair, so they call it a temple fair.

   And no one knew that this event Zhao Chuchu wanted her to do on a whim would later become a Chinese New Year tradition in the Wei Dynasty.

   Zhao Chuchu took out 50 taels of silver himself, and the water mill also gave 50 taels of silver. The villagers raised more than 50 taels of silver. Niu An and the others bought a lot of things with this money.

  In addition to chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, there is also a calf. In addition, there are a lot of cloth, rice, oil and salt, etc. There are also rouge and gouache. Anyway, as long as the villagers can use, they are basically all.

  The villagers came to help after breakfast.

   Niu Tongsheng was there as the commander, and preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.

   Of course, there are people who like to take advantage of people who want to take something while everyone is not paying attention, but they are caught.

Niu Tongsheng was so angry that he directly returned the money donated by the family: “Chu Chu is the one who gave the most money, she didn’t even think about greed? You gave a total of one hundred pennies, but you wanted to steal the cloth. Is there such a thing in the world?

   This is the first day of the new year, don’t blame me for speaking badly, whoever gets these things depends on one’s ability. If you have the ability, I won’t say anything if you take it all, but if you want to steal it, don’t blame me for being rude! “

   The man who wanted to steal was scolded by Niu Tongsheng and ran away.

  The people who were eager to take the goat at first, also dared not act rashly.

   The games that Zhao Chuchu mentioned to them are actually very simple. Except for the hoops, it means that they can throw their bamboo poles farther than others. This is actually a very friendly little game for the villagers who work in the fields all the year round.

   As long as they get the hang of it, they can easily win things away.

   For the sake of fairness, the game is played once per person. As long as there is nothing to win, you can continue to line up the team until the prizes are all taken away.

   Zhao Chuchu didn’t participate because of her own reasons, otherwise all these things belonged to her, so it would be meaningless!

   In the afternoon, the small temple fair officially started.

   The Sun Valley Field was crowded, and almost all the people in Lengshui Village were here!

  Whether someone made a hit or missed, the people around were cheering and cheering, and the atmosphere was very happy.

   Zhao Chuchu felt this kind of atmosphere, and his mood also became happy.

   Mrs. Chen’s luck was very good. She caught a hen and laughed so hard she couldn’t see her eyes.

   “Chuchu, why don’t you try it? I got hit with a hen, hahaha.”

   “I’m not going. If I end, you can only watch me play. Grandma Chen is very good, she actually caught a hen.”

   “Hahaha, I thought it would be good to catch those 10 eggs, but I didn’t expect it to be a hen. You should try it too, anyway, as long as you hit it, you can’t continue to line up.”

   Zhao Chuchu still refused.

There are actually a lot of    mini-games, otherwise those prizes may not be fully given out after playing all afternoon.

   Mrs. Chen was getting excited. Seeing that Zhao Chuchu still didn’t play, she went to play another mini-game.

   Xie Heng came over and stood side by side with Zhao Chuchu: “This is the most lively New Year’s Day in Lengshui Village. In the past, it was separate, but now it is rare to unite.”

“People need to be united. In fact, most people are very kind, but poverty makes it difficult for them to protect themselves, so how can they have extra energy to take care of others? Dalang, in fact, if you get rid of poverty, many things will become different from the original. “

   “Well, but that’s exactly the hardest.”

   “It’s not difficult, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Isn’t Lengshui Village slowly getting out of poverty now?”

   “Small scale is easy, large scale is not easy.”

   “Then let’s take it step by step, just don’t eat it into a fat man.”

   Xie Heng smiled and agreed.

  The New Year’s Day was spent in this happy atmosphere.

   Everyone had a great time.

   The last prizes are running out.

  Niu Tongsheng saw that Zhao Chuchu and the others would not participate, so he decided to give the remaining few worthless little things to the Xie family.

   Zhao Chuchu did not refuse.

   “Chu Chu, this year has been my happiest year, thanks to you.”

   “Then the village chief can continue to hold this kind of small temple fair in the village next year. Appropriate rewards will make everyone’s hearts more united and will make you more prestige.”

   “Okay, then try to continue next year.”

  Niu Tongsheng laughed.

   Indeed, he also felt that the villagers now treat him very differently than before. In the past, they were mostly fearful, but now they respect him. The two are different, and the efficiency of calling them to do things is also different.

  Niu Tongsheng was happy when he saw that Lengshui Village was getting better and better.

  Because this was when he was the village chief, Lengshui Village only changed, and even if he went underground, he would have a lot of face in front of his ancestors!

  …

  The second day of the lunar new year is the day when an out-married girl returns to her parents’ home.

   Zhao Meilan returned early with Hu Yiming.

   As soon as she returned to her mother’s house and put down her things, she and Hu Yiming brought gifts to thank the family.

“Sister Chu Chu, brother-in-law, this is our little wish, please accept it.” Zhao Meilan took the large and small bags from Hu Yiming’s hands and put them on the table. At this moment, she had already combed the woman’s hair in a bun. , looks better than before.

   It must be that Hu Yiming treated her as well as before after getting married!

   “Is everything okay in the Hu family?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a smile.

   Zhao Meilan nodded: “My parents-in-law and they all treat me very well, and so does my husband. I am at Hu’s house just like when I was at my parents’ house. I am very comfortable and happy!”

“That’s good.” Zhao Chuchu knew that Zhao Meilan didn’t lie, Hu Yiming stood beside her obediently, and it was impossible not to love Zhao Meilan, “Meilan, I said before that I gave you a wedding gift, but when you got married, I Too busy to delay until now.”

   “Sister Chu Chu, you have already given us a lot. If you are so polite, I will not dare to see you in the future.” Zhao Meilan was a little embarrassed.

   Zhao Chuchu motioned for her to come over.

   Originally, she planned to give Zhao Meilan a surprise, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, and time did not give her this chance.

   Zhao Meilan didn’t know what was going on, so she asked Hu Yiming to wait for her there, got up and went to the study with Zhao Chuchu.

   “Meilan, do you want your husband to return to normal?” Zhao Chuchu asked seriously.

   Zhao Meilan was stunned for a moment: “Sister Chu Chu, what did you say?”

   “I mean, I can cure your husband and make you a normal person, not like a child anymore. He can continue to study and participate in the imperial examinations…”

   “Really? Can Sister Chu Chu help him?”

   Zhao Meilan interrupted with excitement before Zhao Chuchu finished speaking.

   Zhao Chuchu looked at her: “But Meilan, you haven’t thought about it, if he returns to normal, the Hu family may persuade you to divorce him!”
