Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 245 Gifts
Holding the bundle in his arms, Chunqiu stretched out his hand to pinch it, and found that the bundle was unexpectedly hard, and there was still a gap between his hands. Chunqiu turned his head and asked Yang Chunming who was carrying the box behind him,

"Second brother, it's so hard, what's here?"

Yang Chunming smiled innocently after hearing this, and raised his good-looking eyebrows, "Guess? It's a good thing."

Chunqiu made a nasal sound of "Huh?", glanced at her second brother inexplicably, then looked down at the baggage in her arms, could it be an ancient book?It can only be books, otherwise, what else can her second brother call a good thing, Chunqiu guessed as she walked, and her steps gradually became brisk.

Yang Chunming looked at the back of Chunqiu's head, and did not continue to explain what was in the bag. The two brothers and sisters just walked into the study one after the other, until Chunqiu put the bag on the desk and was about to unpack the things inside. It was only when she was truly honored that her second brother spoke, and there was no intention of stopping him in his words.

"Second brother, what the hell is here?" Chunqiu was not idle, and asked Yang Chunming who was on the side while dismantling it.

Yang Chunming was standing next to the bookshelf, and was putting the books he brought back on the bookshelf. When he heard Chunqiu's words, Yang Chunming didn't turn his head, and said directly, "Open it and see."

Chunqiu pursed his lips, his cheeks were puffed up, and he took off the burden three times and two times.

"Eh? It's a wooden box" Chunqiu exclaimed, besides a few pieces of her second brother's clothes on top of it, the rest is a wooden box in the middle of the package.

The wooden box was square and upright, looking unpretentious, and the whole body was not painted. Chunqiu touched the unlocked surface of the box, then glanced at the unresponsive second brother, and directly opened the wooden box with a swipe.

Unexpectedly, Chunqiu didn't find a book in it. They were all small gadgets from ordinary daughters' homes, such as wooden hairpins, combs, and some rouge and gouache... But the workmanship is very delicate, which is very popular with little girls. Pick it up The lifelike orchid wooden hairpin carved inside, touched left and right happily, as if thinking of something, Chunqiu put down the wooden hairpin in his hand, turned his head and widened his eyes in shock, looking at Yang who had finished his work Chunming.

Yang Chunming was a little uncomfortable being looked at by his sister's novel eyes, and couldn't help touching his nose, his jade face was slightly red, and he turned his cheek and explained in a low voice, "I will express your birthday in a few days, thinking about autumn My son is so old now, and my second brother didn’t give me any birthday presents. Brother Shaoheng just came home a few days ago and said he was going to give his sister some gadgets. I saw these gadgets were exquisitely crafted and cute, and thought I'm fine, so I'll buy it for my younger sister, as a birthday gift in a few days." After Yang Chunming finished speaking, his cheeks became even more rosy, and his shy appearance made Chunqiu's heart itch, and at the same time, he was also very moved. , this embarrassment look, this is probably the first time her second brother went shopping.

"Second brother, you're the best!" Chunqiu cheered, rushed directly to Yang Chunming's side, put his arms around Yang Chunming's thin waist, and buried his face in it, "I accepted this birthday present, I am very happy "Chunqiu's cheerful words couldn't be stopped even through two layers of fabrics. Yang Chunming lowered his head and touched Chunqiu's little head with doting eyes. His tone was clear and gentle, "As long as Qiuer likes it."

"I like it, I like it, I like it very much." Chunqiu nodded vigorously, instantly wrinkling Yang Chunming's well-dressed clothes.

Yang Chunming shook his head amusedly, and pulled out his sister who was buried in his arms and couldn't come out, "Go and play, the second brother still needs to study." After Yang Chunming finished speaking, he looked at the clothes on his body helplessly. , Alas, it will be changed again.

Leaving her second brother's embrace full of faint fragrance, Chunqiu was a little unhappy, but looking down at the clothes she messed up, Chunqiu was still a little guilty, especially when she saw her second brother's pair of smiles that seemed to see through everything. Eyes, Chunqiu stuck out his tongue, turned his head obediently, and then flew away with a sound of "咻".

Before leaving, Chunqiu did not forget to take away the wooden box on the table.

The wooden box is full of gadgets that girls like, Chunqiu carried the wooden box back to the room, took out the cute little purses, dolls and the like, and used the colored thread that her mother bought before. Sew it up and hang it beside the bed, Chunqiu took off his clothes and lay on the bed, reached out and touched the hanging gadget, turned his head and laughed "giggle"...

On the day of Spring and Autumn's birthday, Yuan shi deliberately closed the Meiyan Pavilion half a day earlier, as did the food shop, and the staff all let them go home early.

Yuan Shi and Yang Weibo specially went out in the afternoon to buy Chunqiu's favorite cakes and roast duck, and bought some ribs and vegetables.

Huzi has not come back from school, Yang Chunming is studying in the study, Chunqiu is a bit bored by himself, thinking of the cake that later generations ate on birthdays, Chunqiu is a little moved, but that kind of cake cannot be made in ancient times, so Chunqiu plans to Make some small pastries with flour and eggs to try something new.

So when Yuan Shi and Yang Weibo came back with their bags full, they were surprised to find that there was no one in the yard.

Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the smoke coming out of the kitchen chimney, she knew that her daughter was busy in the kitchen, so she asked Yang Weibo to carry the ribs in his hand to the shop in the front yard. house.

The small cakes steamed in Spring and Autumn are obviously different from those of the later generations. They look ordinary, but they taste good. Because of the softness of the eggs, the small cakes do not taste as choking as cakes.

Picking up all the small cakes that were steamed in the pot, Chunqiu took advantage of the opportunity and ate two more to fill his stomach. For these things, Chunqiu was busy all afternoon and didn't drink a sip of water.

"Huh, it tastes good." Chunqiu stuffed the small cake in his hand into his mouth, took another sip of water and drank it down, "Father and mother should be back, I'll go see what's delicious for dinner tonight." Speaking of this, they began to wink. When they got up in the morning, Chunqiu and Huzi ate the noodles specially made by her mother, which were similar to longevity noodles. out of the kitchen.

When they left the yard, Chunqiu directly ran into Huzi who just came back, neither of the siblings noticed the movement on the side, just like that, they bumped into each other with a sound of "Peng".

"Oops, my head." Chunqiu leaned back a bit, and was hit by Huzi's momentum and took several steps back.

Huzi was very strong, but he just took a small step back and stopped. Seeing Chunqiu squatting not far away with his head lowered and covering his head, Huzi hurried over and asked, "Third sister, are you okay, I didn't mean to" Huzi stood beside Chunqiu and circled around, wanting to reach out but not daring.

"It's okay." Chunqiu grinned, rubbed his head, and rolled his eyes at Huzi, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you look at the road?"

"Hey... Third sister, don't be angry, this is not in a hurry to eat, you can already smell the aroma of the food" Hu Zi scratched his head, his tone was sweet and naive.
