Chapter 39 Preparation of Gifts
The first shift arrives, and the second shift arrives at 14:00
***
Su Shi wondered, "Isn't Brother Bao'er the birthday in the first month?" Why did you think about it at this time? And then there is this rule of being a twelve-year-old, but what is the point? "Listening to her husband's words, Brother Bao'er's twelfth birthday is different from ordinary birthdays, as if it means to do a big job.
Pei Mingyuan found a stool in the courtyard, sat down and stretched his legs, smiled and waved his hand, "I don't know much about the rules that came from." It's just that now those fastidious people in Fucheng are all giving their children twelve-year-olds, and the Tao is that this is the first natal year, and they will do it ceremoniously to eliminate disasters for their children. Mingxia also thought that Brother Bao had been unsmooth since the beginning of the year, and besides, she also had a dead one in front of her, and there was no movement below, only this one single seedling, it was inevitable to listen to the wind and rain, and she wanted to do it when she saw that others did it. ”
Pei Yan was keenly aware that Pei Mingyuan glanced at herself when he said that Song Bao had not had a smooth year.
It was obvious that Pei Mingxia blamed her for all these things, so she was a little unconvinced.
Su also heard what her husband meant, so she naturally wanted to protect her daughter.
Pei Mingyuan said, "The matter is over, and there is no need to investigate who is right and who is wrong." All attributed to such a few things, Mingxia muttered in her heart, so she thought about making up for Brother Bao. ”
Su Shi hugged his son into his arms and said, "That's it, let's also use this time to repay her uncle's affection." After a pause, he said, "The ceremony is done, and you can come to the house to pick it up then." A few of us girls won't go. ”
Pei Yan nodded again and again, she said that if she didn't go to the Song family, she wouldn't go to the Song family, so as to save Song Bao the trouble of looking for her again.
Pei Mingyuan was also afraid that his eldest daughter would rub off with Song Bao again, but this time Pei Mingxia made it clear that they would let the whole family go, and specifically mentioned Pei Yan. said that last time she was in a hurry, and she was defenseless, so she wanted to make amends to her. In addition, inviting relatives to eat and drink on birthdays is also a way to chew on disasters for children, so naturally, the more people there are, the better.
Su Shi sent his youngest son forward, "What about this baby holding the nursing, where can I sit at the table?" When I asked others to see it, I didn't eat anything, so I lacked that bite. ”
Pei Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." Mingxia said that the yard at home is small, and she wants to do a big job, so she won't be at home to entertain. It should be set in a restaurant near his house. When you get there, just don't sit at the table. ”
Seeing that Su Shi was still reluctant, he said again, "Brother-in-law and Brother Xian know that I am pulling a class, and the first errand is not easy to handle, so they think about us and take the initiative to give us work." Brother Bao'er can not go to others on his birthday, how can you not go? ”
Su Shi is worried about this. Let's go, hold the baby. If you don't go, people will only help her family on the front foot, and she will lose the face of the Song family on the back leg - although there is a reason for it, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is what it is.
Pei Mingyuan continued to persuade, "If we go forward, we will give this little one wine, you won't go to Brother Bao'er's birthday, and then, when this little one makes wine, will you deliver a letter to the Song family?" Don't hand it over, that's a serious relative. If you don't send a letter, it seems that you want to break off your family. Hand it over, if you don't go to his family first, why are you embarrassed to deliver a letter to someone else? ”
Su Shi didn't expect his youngest son to do wine for a while, and when he heard her husband say this, she had to say, "That's it, let's go." ”
Pei Yu cheered happily, and Pei Rong was also happy.
Pei Yan had a headache, she really didn't want to see Song Bao's bear child.
decided to go, so Su and her husband discussed what gift to give to the Song family. Discuss and discuss, except for the new pick at home, the new tea in front of the Ming Dynasty that has not yet been sold can be obtained, and there is really no one on the side.
Su Shi complained a little worriedly, "If I want to make Bao Ge'er's birthday earlier, I can also make a pair of shoes or something." Suddenly in such a hurry, even if you do it now, it's too late. ”
In fact, Pei Mingyuan was also worried about this, and on the way here, he thought about it all the way. But the Song family has no shortage of their own hands.
Because of the Song family's work, he didn't want to casually give a gift and appear insincere.
I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't have a clue.
Pei Yan thought of what she said to thank Song Xian that day. Find a few pots of flowers that he has carefully cultivated, move them to Pei Mingyuan, and say bitterly, "These pots look fine, let's move them to my uncle and eldest cousin as a thank you gift." ”
As for Song Bao, don't say that you don't send him, even if you give him it, it's also a cow chewing peonies.
But it's his birthday again, and he can't afford not to send it.
So he reluctantly found two more pots.
These five pots, the flowers are not special, they are also caryophyllus.
The pot is not the blue tile pot she has the most here, but a low long square pot used to grow bonsai small things.
It is about a foot long, three inches high and five inches wide.
It turned out that she was also planted with caryophyllus, just like the pot next to her. Later, because of the moss, I had an idea, and dug up the pots of flowers until only a cluster was left in the corner, and filled the rest with dirt and compacted it, and covered it with moss.
When she went back to buy flower seeds, she bought some clay figurines and small things in the flower market. There are peasants who are working, there are scholars who stand in the wind with their hands in the wind and are looking for spring, there is an old couple sitting on a drunken chair and making gossip, a shepherd boy riding on the back of a cow, and then there are some chickens, ducks and geese.
When she got home, she placed it on the caryophyllum bonsai according to the shape of the grain board she had seen earlier in the flower market.
In addition, according to different small objects, different treatments have been made.
For example, the one that herds farmers. At the other end of the caryophyllus, from under the wild peach tree in front of the yard, a wild peach sapling was dug up, topped it, and pruned it slightly, as a field tree.
And the one who let go of the reading found a few small angular stones from the stream, and used them as rockeries to dot behind the caryophyllum that was used as bamboo. On the flat moss, old tiles were used to grind out a dozen strips one inch long and half an inch wide, which were used as steps.
As for small objects such as chickens, ducks and geese, a miniature fence was woven with thin bamboo branches, and surrounded by moss to make the appearance of a farmer's yard. It's just that she regrets that she forgot to buy a miniature farmhouse at that time, and if she put this, it would be more realistic.
The old couple wanted to make some kind of micro-shaped grape trellis to put on it, but she wouldn't do it. There is a pot of caryophyllus plants that are luxuriant, and the upper part is umbrella-shaped due to excessive flower buds. She placed the old couple directly under the flowers, as if they were sitting under the flowers and trees to enjoy the shade.
The shepherd boy who rode on the back of the ox just added more soil to the end of the caryophyllus to make a hillside shape. Because of the temporary addition of soil, I had to re-spread the moss, because the moss was not very neat. However, there is also a bit of spring when the earth returns, the spring grass on the soil is mottled.
As she spoke, she pointed to the old couple and said, "This is for my uncle and aunt." The one that put chickens, ducks, geese and little shepherd boys will be given to Bao Ge'er. The remaining two were given to the eldest cousin. ”
Pei Mingyuan looked at the five pots in front of him, because of the addition of small things, and the flowers that presented different life scenes, his eyes widened in surprise, and he even said in surprise, "Yan girl, you got this?" ”
"yes." Pei Yan nodded a little smugly.
"Ouch, I didn't expect that my daughter also gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart." Pei Mingyuan circled around the five pots of flowers, praising them repeatedly.
Not to mention him, even the Su family, who saw Pei Yan fiddling there with his own eyes, but didn't pay much attention to it, was also very surprised, and asked his daughter repeatedly, "How did you think of this?" You see, it's so vivid, it's just like the real thing. ”
Pei Yan shook her head proudly, her heart suddenly moved, and when she thought of something, she hurriedly said to Pei Mingyuan, "Dad, I sold the money this time, except for helping your construction class, I have to take the rest by myself." ”
She had an empty stomach, either because of manpower or financial resources, and she was depressed.
