Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1258. Scenery along the way

The rain stopped for a while, but soon raindrops began to fall again. Song Sancheng was just about to go out for a walk with his fishing rod, but he was forced back to the living room before he even left the yard.

  Wulan was also afraid that her scarf would get wet in the rain, so she returned to the living room and saw that Lu Chuan had already opened another bag, which contained several small boxes:

"This is a collection of operas prepared for my grandparents. The card reader can be used to import them directly into the phone, so I can watch them directly in the photo album."

For people of Song Youde's generation, the only entertainment activity when they were young was probably listening to opera.

I have seen movies before. Many years ago, at the end of the busy farming season, a projectionist would show movies in the village office.

But now they can no longer understand the stories in many movies. Operas can be found by searching on the Internet, but they don’t know how to buy memberships, and they don’t know how to adjust the clarity...

Even if the younger generation are around, you can’t just watch one episode and ask, right?

The last time Lu Chuan came, he stayed for a while and chatted with them for a long time, so this time he just asked someone to prepare these.

This shocked Wu Lan: "Why do you buy things for the whole family every time? Don't do this next time. Next time, I won't be able to bring anything."

Lu Chuan also laughed: "Auntie, there won't be a next time. My things will be moved here in a couple of days."

When Wulan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed again.

Next is the electronic bracelet that Lu Chuan just mentioned: "These are not expensive, only one or two hundred yuan each. Wearing it on your wrist can at least measure your heart rate, blood oxygen, etc...."

In fact, even Mr. Qi may not be able to fully understand how to use an electronic bracelet, and the functions of something that costs only one or two hundred yuan are very simple and are completely unnecessary in daily life.

but--

Everyone loves new things. No matter how old you are, who doesn’t like receiving gifts?

At least Aunt Lianhua's joy is particularly obvious: "I often wash vegetables, and it's inconvenient to carry this. It just so happens that my mother-in-law always forgets to charge her mobile phone. This battery is durable and can vibrate to remind you when something happens! It's really useful!"

She was quite embarrassed: "Why are you buying it for me..." She was just an ordinary helper.

In comparison, the seventh cousin was much calmer: "It's quite fashionable..."

As he spoke, he proudly raised his wrist, once, twice... and took a picture with his mobile phone. He turned around and looked at Grandma Qi's hand, adjusting the dial for her just as Lu Chuan had taught him.

After finally suppressing his excitement, he asked calmly, "You haven't had any good food since returning to the emperor, right? What do you want to eat?"

Lu Chuan thought about it and made a serious request: "I heard from Tan Tan that there is a special mugwort bun here in spring. I have never eaten it. Can I try it?"

How simple it is!

Uncle Seven immediately agreed: "When the rain stops, you and Tan Tan go up the mountain together to get some mugwort - on the rocky slope that Tan Tan has built, aren't you going to plant sunflowers, mugwort, and wild chrysanthemums there?"

"The mugwort is growing tender now! Go pick some when the rain stops and I'll make sure it tastes good for you!"

……

Lunch would have to wait for a while, and after the fun downstairs, Lu Chuan went upstairs with his luggage.

There weren’t many things, just a suitcase and a cardboard box, and he could carry them upstairs by himself.

Opening the room next to Song Tan on the second floor, Aunt Lianhua had just come upstairs to clean up. Everything inside was clean and tidy, even the bedding was obviously new and neatly laid out.

Lu Chuan packed his luggage simply and heard the door of the next room open. He opened another box at this moment.

Unlike the previous suitcase which was filled with personal belongings, this cardboard box was opened to reveal only a pile of flowers.

These flowers are not the roses, lilies and carnations commonly sold in flower shops, but come in all shapes and sizes and in all colors.

At the moment, they were lying all over the box, but because of the ice packs at the bottom, they didn't look wilted, just a little messy.

Lu Chuan looked through it carefully, and then took out the flower scissors and wrapping paper from his luggage. …

Song Tan was browsing on his phone in the room, silently waiting for his gift.

  Nothing!

She thought: Xiao Lu is so brave now! He wants to deliver the gift [in person]? Is this the [in person] she was thinking of?

My mind was full of thoughts, and then after a long time I heard a knock on the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Lu Chuan standing outside with his hands behind his back. She couldn't help laughing:

"personally?"

  Lu Chuan was startled, then leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the lips, and then looked at Song Tan intently and answered seriously:

"Ah."

Song Tan stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck: "Isn't this a bit perfunctory?"

  Lu Chuan took out the gift from behind, and before Song Tan could take a closer look, he hugged her back, holding her tightly in his arms, with a little grievance in his voice:

“I put my heart into it.”

He loosened his arms and handed over the bouquet of flowers in his hand:

"I looked up gifts that girls like online, but it seems like none of them are what you like."

"Although they all say that girlfriends are not in need but they must be sent away, I have other thoughts - I want to show you the scenery I passed by along the way."

Song Tan was slightly startled, and then stared at the bouquet of flowers that Lu Chuan brought over seriously——

He really likes flowers and plants, and this is not the first time he has sent them as gifts, but the bouquets tied together with newspapers are not the first flowers from the terrace garden delivered by express.

It’s not the cream sunflower that was specially ordered in advance for the Chinese New Year.

Now, the black and white newspaper is filled with colorful wild flowers. The flowers have just been soaked in water, and now the branches are soft, the flowers are full, and there are "dewdrops" on them.

Messy, disordered, full of the beauty of freedom, even the branches and leaves are full of vitality.

Light purple lilac, extremely saturated sky blue tall primroses, long-stemmed yellow dandelions that were obviously carefully selected, pink wild peach branches, cream-yellow magnolias, and a bunch of unknown wild grass with tender green leaves and snow-white flowers...

Song Tan reached out and took it.

Lu Chuan whispered, "From the Imperial Capital to Yuncheng, there are seven cities close to the service area."

"Every time I pass a service area, I will stop and walk around, or turn onto the national highway and pick some different spring flowers from different cities."

He was feeling slightly tired now. The long journey coupled with the heavy rain in Yuncheng made it difficult for him to conceal his mental fatigue.

Only when he spoke, his eyes were full of concentration.

"I drove 15 hours to get this handful."

He looked at Song Tan nervously: "This...will you like it?"

A single branch of yellow magnolia can't cover up the spring scent of these disheveled wild flowers at all. It's not fragrant enough, but it is the most natural fragrance of plants.

Song Tan held the bouquet of flowers in both hands, then looked up at Lu Chuan:

"I love so much."

Update two.
