Although the time of separation was long, it gradually passed.

Before I knew it, my aunt's birthday was here.

On that day, in order to attend your aunt's birthday party, you returned from the barracks with Wu Shun. But you're a sister-in-law, you don't need to do anything, just attend the banquet.

But the eldest brother was very busy that day, and he had to hold a feast and help his father entertain guests. After meeting my father and uncle, and congratulating my aunt on her birthday, because there was nothing to do, and there was still some time before the feast began, you and Wu Shun went to the inner house to see me.

At that time, I had not officially performed the ceremony, and I could not go out to accompany the female guests, so my aunt asked me to stay in the room and dress myself, and when the next feast began, I could go over to celebrate my birthday. The maids and maids all went to the front to help, and I was almost alone in the backyard.

When you came in, I was wearing a pair of freshly made plum earrings in front of the bronze mirror. When I looked in the mirror for the round hole in my earlobe, I saw you in the mirror.

I stopped. I look at you in the mirror.

I hear you say behind me, "Qin'er." I am back. ”

"Qin'er, I'm back." It's the one I've long wanted to hear in my life.

I look back at you, and my heart is pounding.

Every day you are not at home, I miss you so much, I miss you so much.

We looked at each other, forgetting the time and the surroundings.

Wu Shun looked at us, and he coughed vigorously.

I came back to my senses and noticed my mind wavering.

I blushed and said, "You're back." ”

At this time, I saw Wu Shun holding a delicate birdcage in his hand, covered with a cloth cover. I looked at it and I said, "What is this?" ”

Wu Shun put the birdcage on the dresser, and he said, "It's a gift from Uncle Ding to Miss, it's fun, Miss must like it." ”

I asked, "Is my uncle already here?" ”

You say, "It's been early, and we've been talking about the barracks for a while in my father's study." You'll be able to see him in a moment. He's afraid you'll be bored waiting alone in the backyard, so let's bring you this gift first. ”

I said, "Are you all right in the barracks?" Why are your eyes a little blue? This time, I was able to stay at home for a few days. ”

You say, "Maybe it's too early to get up early." Stay for two or three days. You look at my expression, and you smile, "Okay, then, stay for three days." Then, I want to go with my uncle to Linshui to see the defense there. ”

You say, "Well, I'll talk to my father and take you to my aunt's for two days." Then, I might have one more surprise for you. We'll talk about that then. ”

My heart is about to bloom. I nodded vigorously. You look at my excitement, and you can't help but feel a surge of tenderness in your heart.

Wu Shun said: "Miss, come and see!" "He's pulled the cloth cover off the birds. Immediately, there was a murmur from inside, and the sound was very good.

I bent down and looked into the cage: it turned out to be two very cute, fluffy, chubby birds. They are bouncing on the perches in the birdcage, combing each other's feathers on the edge of their pointed beaks affectionately, and all kinds of cute forms make people's hearts melt.

You say, "Uncle is worried that you won't like it." ”

I said, "Why, they're so cute." "I looked at them, and I put my index finger on the edge of the cage. I teased the bird and said, "Come here, it's delicious." ”

Sure enough, a little blue bird staggered over, tilting its head sideways and looking at me curiously with its round bright eyes. Then it seriously began to peck at my index finger with the hard shell of its mouth, and tried to lick it with its little round tongue. It took my finger for a super big nut and began to persistently try to peel it off.

You say, "Be careful, its mouth is still quite pointy, be careful that it pecks its fingers." ”

I said, "No." My finger is delicious, you see, it can't let go. ”

Wu Shun said: "It's not easy to let it go." Look at mine. He took the cloth cover and covered the cage again, leaving only a small slit.

The light in the birdcage quickly dimmed, and Wu Shun said, "Look! ”

I peeked in through the crevice, and saw that the two birds, in the dimming light, thought it was dark, and immediately shook off their feathers, and stood on their perches, their eyes began to squint, and their calls became low. They twisted their heads, hid their heads under their wings, hummed, hummed, and got ready for sleep. The humming slowly became quieter. They fell asleep very quickly. It's so cute that they are sleepy.

I haven't seen enough yet, Wu Shun reached out and uncovered the cloth cover of the birdcage again. The light instantly brightened again. So, the two sleeping birds woke up again. They lifted their heads from under their wings, began to amplify their voices, and began to cry, and jumped up to the glasses, and looked at the water, carefully arranging their feathers, and then feeding each other.

Wu Shun had to reach out and pull the cloth cover again. I hurriedly said, "No." Don't play tricks on them. Let them be awake. ”

Wu Shun said: "If the young lady wants to listen to them sing, pull the cloth cover open and brighten the light. When you want to quiet them, just put the cloth cover on, and they will fall asleep obediently. Fun, right? ”

I said, "Fun is fun." However, it's better not to play tricks on them like this. They believe in the light so much, they have no doubt, and they play tricks, and they feel sorry for them. ”

You look at me and smile.

Wu Shun said, "I'll help the young lady hang them in the corridor." ”

I said, "I wonder if they can live on their own in the wild?" ”

Wu Shun said: "It should be possible." Uncle Ding just said in the study that it was caught and sold by someone else from outside, and it was just a few days after he was caught. On his way here, he passed by the bazaar, thought it was funny, and bought it. ”

I said, "If I let them go, my uncle won't be angry, right?" ”

"Released?" Wu Shun said: "It's so fun, doesn't Miss want to keep it to play?" ”

"It's because they're so cute, I don't want to keep them like that. The cage is so small, there are so few partners, and besides, I don't look fun. I don't think they like to be here and watch me every day. ”

I said, "It's just that my uncle bought them for me, but the next time I come, I see that they are gone, and I think I don't know etiquette." ”

"No, it won't." At this point, you say, "Since Uncle gave them to you, they are yours." It doesn't matter what you want to do. If you're happy to let them go, let them go. ”

I look at you and I say, "Really? ”

You nodded. You say, "Really." I promise, my uncle won't be angry. Whatever you buy, Uncle wants to make you happy. He will love your kindness. ”

You look at me. My face flushed.

I looked down at the birdcage.

You say, "Let's put them together." ”

I said, "Okay." ”

I reached for the cage. But somehow, the cage door got stuck halfway open. I pushed hard up, but didn't push away.

You come up to you and say, "I'll get you out of the way." ”

You bend down to open the door to the birdcage.
