At about three o'clock in the unitary hour, when the slanting sun was in Liao, Hu Xiang's carriage to pick up Xiao Jiu came back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Jiu couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, waving his little hand while walking on his short legs, and said excitedly: "Sister Wan'er, Sister Wan'er!" ”

Xu Xiangwan, who heard the voice, immediately ran out of the house and laughed happily: "Xiao Jiu, you are back!" ”

Because he ran too quickly, Xiao Jiu stumbled on his feet, but fortunately shook his body and stabilized his body without falling, but it frightened Xu Xiangwan and Wulang who came out with him.

"Run slower! If you fall to the ground, you must not drop your front teeth. Xu Xiangwan said and licked his tongue on the roof of his jaw that was missing two teeth, and smiled.

Xiao Jiu saw Wulang behind Xu Xiangwan, the smile on his little face became a little brighter, and he jumped up excitedly with his hands raised: "Brother is back, great!" ”

Looking at the lively and lovely Xiao Jiu and the busy but fulfilling family, Gorou is also full of happiness and joy.

"Sister, happy birthday!" Xiao Jiu carefully took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Xu Xiangwan.

Xu Xiangwan took the box in surprise: "For me?" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, looked up and smiled: "Sister Wan'er, this is my birthday gift to you." Do you like it or not? ”

Under Xiao Jiu's urging, Xu Xiangwan opened the box, only to see a pair of crystal warm jade bell earrings lying inside, and three red gems the size of rice grains under the bells, which may not be precious, but they look very cute, just suitable for seven or eight years old girls, and you can see the intentions of the person who chooses the gift.

"Sister Wan'er, do you like this pendant?" Xiao Jiu's big eyes stared at Xu Xiangwan shining, and his face was full of anticipation.

This pair of jade bell earrings is delicate and small, very cute, and more importantly, Xiao Jiu's sincere heart, Xu Xiangwan naturally loves it tightly, and immediately put it on his ears that have pierced his ears but have never worn any jewelry.

Xu Xiangwan's skin is delicate, and she is much fairer than before, and her small ears are hung with such a small and delicate jade bell, which is very playful and cute.

provoked Gorou to say that the little nine people are big ghosts.

Seeing that Xu Xiangwan immediately put on the earrings he gave him, the smile on Xiao Jiu's face became even brighter, and he stepped forward to take Xu Xiangwan's hand and looked up and said, "Sister Wan'er, I have been running for many days for this pair of earrings, and I am almost all over the Yinlou jewelry shops in Fucheng." ”

"No wonder you've come back late these days, so you went out to wander around! You're a little kid, it's not safe to hang out outside without coming home from school. I don't want anything, as long as my mother and you are safe, and the family can live together in peace and security, I will be satisfied. Xu Xiangwan didn't really want to blame Xiao Jiu, but was worried about his safety, seeing Xiao Jiu's mouth pursed, he added, "I like this pendant very much, but promise me not to make an example?" ”

Xiao Jiu has always been sensible, so he naturally knew that Xu Xiangwan was just worried about him, not blaming him, and when he heard Xu Xiangwan say that he liked the gift he gave, his mood suddenly jumped again, and he grinned: "Don't worry, I went with Uncle Hu, I didn't run around alone, and I will go home as soon as I go to school in the future, and I will never run around again." ”

After listening to Xiao Jiu's assurance, Xu Xiangwan relieved his heart, happily led Xiao Jiu with one hand and Wulang's arm with the other into the house.

Xu Xiangwan has received a lot of gifts today, in addition to those given by Han Qi, Zhang's, Xu Qiuyi and Wulang all gave her gifts.

This is the first time Xu Xiangwan has received a birthday gift since he can remember. A few years ago, life was difficult, and the upper room was harsh on their family, and on the day of their birthday, the Zhang family saved some rations and secretly left them for Xu Xiangwan, so that she could have a full meal. But at most, it's just one or two coarse wheat cakes, and other good things can't be eaten by the people in the second room. Everyone's food and clothing are still a problem, where can we prepare any gifts?

Therefore, Xu Xiangwan was very happy and satisfied with this birthday, and he was even more determined to let his family live a good life, live in a big house in the future, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and let his family no longer worry about money.

In the evening, Zhang's fried meatballs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrant meatballs, Aunt Gui made a few good dishes, and everyone in the family was smiling and happily said a birthday message to Xu Xiangwan, which was a little more lively than the previous New Year.

Wulang rushed back to the academy early the next morning, Xiao Jiu also went to Qingyun Academy, and there were only a few people left in the family, but the days were getting busier and busier day by day.

One day in mid-April, Shen Qianyu sent a letter to Xu Xiangwan from Jingshi, and also asked people to bring a large box of gifts, half of which were congratulatory gifts for Xu Xiangwan, including the new bead flower hairpin ring, puppet toys, candy snacks, etc., and the other half of the box was given to Zhang and the other four people, all of which were objects that matched their age and temperament, which were very intimate.

Xu Xiangwan also replied to him with a letter, mentioning to him that he was about to open a medicinal food shop, and the other was to ask Shen Qianyu about his recent situation and bits and pieces of household routines.

In the midst of the busyness, it was the first day of May when the medicinal food shop opened.

The weather is already hot at the beginning of May, and people are sweating after walking in the sun, and people have changed into light spring shirts.

On this day, the weather was exceptionally clear, and the sky was cloudless and blue.

On Xiangyun Street in the west of the city, the gongs and drums are noisy, a team of juggling teams is stepping on stilts, pulling red cloth banners, on which are written the three big characters of "Medicinal Kitchen", and every once in a while the juggling team will neatly shout a sentence "Xiangyun Medicinal Kitchen, affordable and healthy", "Opening of a big reward, free cold soup" and so on.

When the lively people heard the publicity, they all inquired about where the medicinal food workshop was and what it was selling, and from time to time, people ran towards the medicinal food shop on Xiangyun Street, for fear that there would be no free cold soup if they went late.

Gongs and drums were also beating at the door of the Medicinal Kitchen, and a large wooden frame was placed on a small stage, covered with a large red cloth, on which were written the various medicinal dishes, dishes, food pairing effects and prices of the Medicinal Kitchen. In addition, a few children sang nursery rhymes based on the names and effects of medicinal food on the stage, which attracted many spectators.

Although there are two floors in the medicinal kitchen, the place is not particularly spacious, and it is already overcrowded at this time, not only is it full, but even there are many people standing in the aisle, this is because the gatekeeper only regularly and quantitatively lets people in, otherwise judging from the long queue outside the door, I am afraid that the entire medicinal kitchen will have to be crowded.
