Chapter 92: New Year's Eve Reunion on February 2

Two days after the brother and sister paid the medical expenses for old man Suhe, the old man woke up from his coma. At that time, old lady Su came to thank them with tears in her eyes.

After grandpa was able to walk again, he and grandma went to visit Grandpa Suhe's ward. The four old people hit it off immediately and chatted for the whole afternoon.

Grandpa Suhe and Grandma Ziyuan's life experience can be called a legendary story of ups and downs. They were orphans born in turbulent times. Fortunately, they were picked up by an old Chinese medicine doctor who had no children. They became childhood sweethearts. The old Chinese medicine doctor taught them all his skills. As they got along day after day, they developed other feelings for each other and naturally became husband and wife, guarding the Chinese medicine shop left by the old Chinese medicine doctor.

During the ten years of turmoil, the couple were both labeled as monsters and demons. Fortunately, they had medical skills and were good at curing diseases and treating livestock. They were respected by the locals in the labor camp and barely managed to spend the ten years in peace. However, they had to be separated from their only son, Su Jingming, and now their kinship is weak and they are like strangers to their son.

Old Mrs. Su put 190 yuan in Ji Shumiao's hand and said, "Child, don't think it's too little. My old man has just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, so I..."

"I know." Ji Shumiao comforted, "Grandma, you can pay it back when you have money. Our family is not in a hurry to use the money. It's almost the New Year, and you should keep some money on you."

It's not one hundred yuan, nor is it two hundred yuan, but one hundred and ninety yuan in exact amounts. The old lady has used up all the money she can to pay back.

"That won't work. If you borrow money, you have to pay it back." Old Mrs. Su held her hand tightly. "You are not borrowing money, but saving our lives. We can't pay it back now. If we can't even pay the money back, we will really have trouble sleeping and eating."

Seeing Ji Shumiao put the money into her pocket, Old Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye.

The Ji family invited her to stay for lunch, but Old Mrs. Su said that the old man at home was still waiting for her to go back. Then everyone remembered that Old Man Su was still paralyzed in bed, so they didn't dare to keep her any longer.

In addition to money, Mrs. Su also brought some homemade rice cakes and tangerine-brewed kudzu root powder. Before leaving, she also reminded people of the precautions for taking kudzu root powder.

At noon, Xie Cuilan made a dish of twice-cooked pork and fried rice cake, which everyone gave a thumbs-up.

“Cui Lan’s cooking is getting better and better. She can open a restaurant soon,” grandma praised.

Xie Cuilan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's all thanks to the good teachings of the masters."

After lunch, grandma asked the brother and sister to try on new clothes for the New Year.

Grandma not only made a horse-faced skirt, but also a flying fish costume, which left the brother and sister stunned.

"Oh my God! This is so beautiful~" Ji Shumiao's heart was filled with joy.

The red palace wall is both festive and elegant, and the exquisite embroidery on it makes Ji Shumiao unable to put it down.

Ji Shumiao asked: "Grandma's embroidery skills are so... really amazing!"

Ji Shumiao racked his brains but couldn't come up with the right words to praise him, and always felt that the praise was not enough.

"How can that be possible? This is ready-made material, embroidered by a Suzhou embroidery master stitch by stitch." Grandma said, and took out a knee-length peach pink long coat. The wool fabric used for the coat is the style of Ming and Qing long coats. The chest hem is embroidered with magpies and persimmons. The collar and cuffs are decorated with rabbit fur. The coat buttons are also made of rabbit fur to look like rabbit tails, which makes the clothes more playful and cute. The coat is also filled with a layer of down, which is light and warm.

"Ah~~~" Ji Shumiao floated over, "Oh my God, oh my God~~~"

Ji Shumiao had bought a lot of traditional Chinese style clothes in his previous life, all of which were modern clothes with Chinese elements added. However, his grandmother did the opposite and added modern elements to the style of ancient Hanfu.

The senior citizens' university my grandma attended was well worth the money. Several of the teachers were highly skilled craftsmen. After systematic learning, many of my grandma's previous messy, fragmented and unformed ideas gradually became concrete design drafts.

"Grandma, let me give you the entire clothing company!" Ji Shumiao's eyes lit up, "Your craftsmanship and designs are so inferior to those of foreign high-end designers!"

Grandma just thought that Ji Shumiao was trying to cheer her up, so she kept saying "OK".

That flying fish suit was equally exquisite, and Ji Shulang looked quite handsome in it, but it was not as stunning as Ji Shumiao's new clothes. The two of them standing together looked like a princess on a secret visit and a sword-carrying guard on a trip.

Ji Shumiao was so happy that he was spinning around in the living room, and everyone kept praising him for his beauty.

Qin Rong smiled and said, "Let's go to the bank later and get a few of my great-grandmother's hairpins and put them on you tomorrow."

Ji Zhenhua clapped his hands and cheered: "Then my daughter must be the most beautiful girl in Beijing!"

Ji Shumiao held his cheeks with both hands and smiled shamelessly: "I am!"

The bank was busier than usual on New Year's Eve. There were long queues in front of each business window, packed with people coming to handle business. It was as noisy as a vegetable market.

As Qin Rong and Ji Shumiao entered the bank, they were recognized by the staff and were naturally invited to the VIP room.

Qin Rong raised her hand to politely refuse the tea handed to her by the manager, took out the safe key and gave it to Ji Shumiao, asking her to choose one herself.

Qin Rong had taken care of them before, and now she could see the extraordinary wealth of the gold and silver jewelry. The jewelry left by her great-grandmother was basically from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The materials used were not top-notch but not bad at all. With top-notch craftsmanship and aesthetics, each piece was exquisite.

Aesthetic crit.

Ji Shumiao liked all of them, and finally picked out a gold filigree inlaid white jade hollow double phoenix peony hairpin, and a pair of gold inlaid tourmaline and jadeite butterfly pattern hairpins. He also picked out a pair of gold inlaid white jade phoenix hairpins for Qin Rong.

On this day, Ji Shumiao was shocked by his ancestor's aesthetic taste again and again, and he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green - the clothes and jewelry he bought in his previous life were all junk!

Family reunion on New Year’s Eve, lights on in every home.

The Ji family's reunion dinner was extremely sumptuous, with plates stacked with all kinds of delicacies. Everyone sat around the table, laughing and talking, with auspicious words and witty remarks coming out one after another, drowning out the sound of the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

Ji Shumiao received so many red envelopes that his hands were overwhelmed. Looking at everyone, he thought to himself: It’s great that I don’t have to spend the New Year alone anymore.
