The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 71 Zhao Xiaofeng's thoughts

in the room.

A pair of red candles as thick as a baby's arms lit up, illuminating this not too big room very brightly.

Zhao Xiaofeng sat on the bed, his face was full of joy.

She turned her head and glanced at Lu Qian.

After only one glance, she turned her head back again, lowered her chin, and said, "Brother Qian..."

Lu Qian sat on the kang blankly, with a smile on his face, but his whole body was motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

Zhao Xiaofeng called out, and continued: "We are married, and I will still let me do the work in the field, so you can concentrate on cutting your paper. We... our life will definitely get better and better."

A simple girl who uttered her first wedding vows.

Lu Qian didn't speak, and just sat there blankly, even—the expression on his face didn't change at all.

Zhao Xiaofeng seemed shy, still fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her head down, and said in a low voice: "When we work for a few years, our life is better, and... we have a baby, let's build a new house."

"Let me say this, don't be too burdened. If it doesn't work, I'll go out to the mountains and open up a few more acres of land. You can sell the grain you grow at the Wangjiaying Market. If you save it for a few years, plus You can build another house with the money you earn from paper-cutting.”

"Brother Qian, do you think this is okay?"

Seeing that Lu Qian had been silent, she couldn't help but panic, and couldn't help raising her head and looking at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian still sat blankly, without saying a word or moving.

Seeing Lu Qian's appearance, Zhao Xiaofeng was a little suspicious, and couldn't help calling out, "Brother Qian?"

Lu Qian was still like a piece of wood, motionless.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaofeng really panicked, she stretched out her hand to grab Lu Qian's arm, shook it, and said, "Qian..."

Unexpectedly, she pulled Lu Qian's arm and just shook it.Lu Qian's body fell onto the kang by itself as if there was no support.

However, as soon as Lu Qian fell down, the next moment, his eyes became clear again.

Lu Qian sat up again, blinked, looked at Zhao Xiaofeng, and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaofeng sized Lu Qian up and said, "You...did you fall asleep just now? Are you too tired, do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"

Lu Qian shook his head and said, "It's okay."

He pressed his hands on his legs and stared straight ahead with a cold look in his eyes:
"It's Zhu Jia again. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it will treat me like a sick cat?"

"Okay, since we have chosen today as a good day, then I will visit you for a while."

Outside the Meridian Gate, the villagers have already started eating and drinking.

Although the light from the lantern was dim, the moon had already appeared, giving it more light.

Lu Qian thought for a while, and wanted to enter Xiaotu's sight.But looking sideways, seeing Zhao Xiaofeng's uneasy face, he couldn't help putting away the fierce light in his eyes, and smiled at her:

"Maybe I'm too sleepy. I just squinted for a while. What did you say?"

He just entered Xiaotu's field of vision and temporarily lost his vision.She hardly heard a word she said.

Zhao Xiaofeng's face tightened, and he said hastily: "Then you should lie down and sleep for a while, and then go out to drink with them?"

Drink with them?
The corner of Lu Qian's mouth couldn't help but sneered again.

He waved his hand to Zhao Xiaofeng, indicating no need, and suddenly asked: "Is your father in good health?"

Xiaofeng shook her head and said: "Not too good, he has always had problems with his legs, you know that too. Now that he's getting older, there are more problems."

"Ah."

Lu Qian responded, thought for a while, but didn't speak after all.

In the room, it fell into silence again.

After a while, Lu Qian turned to look at his new wife and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it."

Zhao Xiaofeng said: "Brother Qian, I just did some calculations. My family has five acres of land, and yours also has five acres of land. It's a pity that you don't farm the land and it has been left unused. I will plant all these ten acres of land in the future, and I can farm a lot every year. What about food?"

Lu Qian was a little surprised and said: "Can you plant ten acres of land by yourself?"

Zhao Xiaofeng straightened her chest and said, "Don't underestimate me, I have been planting the land in my family since I was 13 years old."

At the age of 13, just at the age of junior high school, he shouldered the heavy work at home.

Lu Qian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to think about these, and you don't have to plant your land anymore."

Zhao Xiaofeng said in surprise: "How can it be done? What will we eat if we don't farm? Besides, in the future we will have... and we will have to support three people."

Lu Qian did not answer her words, but asked, "Do you know that our family has a paper-cut art?"

Zhao Xiaofeng nodded and said, "I know, Brother Qian, haven't you been cutting paper all the time?"

"Oh?"

Before Lu Qian could say a word, Zhao Xiaofeng continued, "It's a pity that we are in a poor country, so it's not very easy to sell, right?"

……

Lu Qian said: "I'm not talking about this kind of paper-cutting. It's...that kind of paper-cutting, you've never heard of it?"

Zhao Xiaofeng shook his head in confusion, and said, "Brother Qian, what are you talking about, such and such, isn't it just cutting window grilles?"

Lu Qian stared at Xiaofeng carefully, and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake. It seemed that the village knew that his family knew how to cut paper. Only a few people in the village, Zhao Youde, did not spread the word.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaofeng obviously didn't get involved with Zhao Youde's affairs, and even said that she, like herself, was also a chess piece they laid out on the chessboard.

Zhao Youde arranged for Zhao Xiaofeng to marry Lu Qian, one is to deceive Lu Qian to come back, and the other is to let her inoculate the Lu family and alleviate some of the guilt in his heart.

In Zhao Youde's eyes, Zhao Xiaofeng is just a tool.

It's a pity that some chess pieces are born to lift the chessboard.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian asked again: "What do you think of Zhao Youde, what kind of person is he?"

Xiaofeng was a little surprised, she didn't expect that on this wedding night, Lu Qian would actually discuss an old man with her.

However, Xiaofeng still thought about it, and said: "Uncle De has been the village chief for more than 30 years, and he is very prestigious in the village. It's just... just that he is a bit domineering."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Do you think he forced your father to marry you to me?"

After hearing this, Xiaofeng turned her head with a twisted look on her face.

She looked at Lu Qian with the back of her head, and said, "Then...not really. This can be considered...the only good thing he has done for our family..."

Lu Qian looked at her, a thick and long braid was tied behind her head.

He originally wanted to ask her and tell her a lot.

Regarding the matter of Zuo Qiuling, he was also prepared to wait until the guests had dispersed and only they were left, before discussing with her from shallow to deep.

Unfortunately, something happened right now, and there was no time.

Lu Qian suddenly reached out to wrap her shoulders, and said, "Xiaofeng—"

Xiaofeng was embraced by Lu Qian's firm arm, and her whole body tensed up.She turned her head back, but she didn't dare to look directly at Lu Qian, and said in a low voice, "Brother Qian..."

"I'll do a trick for you, okay?"

"Uh-huh?"

Xiaofeng originally thought that he would make further moves. After all, she is an innocent girl. At this moment, her whole body is tense, and she is nervous inside, not knowing what to do.

did not expect……

On the wedding night, Lu Qian actually wanted to do...a trick for her?

What tune is this?
Lu Qian stood up, walked to the center of the room, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, and shook it away in front of Xiaofeng.

"This is... a paper cut, bride."

Lu Qian nodded. He held the paper-cut with both hands and put her on the ground.

The thin piece of paper actually stood on the ground, and then the body expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a lively beauty stood there.

Xiaofeng stared at her with wide eyes. She didn't expect that Lu Qian really did tricks for her.
