Chapter 67: The Gift

When the family banquet was held in the evening, everyone knew what Xiao Yao was doing today, Xiao Jingyan checked back and forth around the little niece and asked: "Where did you hide the fleas, find one and show it to me, I haven't seen it for many years, and I miss it." ”

"Fourth uncle, you have to have a conscience to be a man, who am I doing this for, my ladylike image has been ruined, and I have to be made fun of by you, really."

"You think too much about peace, no one thinks you have a ladylike image, if you destroy it, you will destroy it, we won't laugh at you." Ten-year-old Xiao Rui comforted seriously.

As soon as Xiao Yao wanted to fight back, he heard Xiao Yuan's pleasant voice sound: "Fourth brother, did your husband teach you to comfort people like this?" Then I will too, you listen, cough cough" Xiao Yuan paced square steps, put his hands behind his back, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Xiao Rui, your big characters are very stylish, you can post them out and display them, a master's work." Xiao Yuan's little head swayed from side to side, and he said vividly.

Xiao Rui doesn't like writing the most, and the words he writes are perfunctory, so I don't know how many times he has been beaten by Mr. As a sister, Xiao Yuan is undoubtedly sprinkling salt on his brother's wounds!

"Are you still my own sister?" When I was a child, I didn't look like it, but now when I look at it, I exude the smell of eating inside and out. Is my sister being transferred?

"My name is ......" Xiao Yuan couldn't think of the right words to describe it for a while, thinking about it for a while, and then casting a look at the elders for help and asking for help.

"Righteous annihilation." Xiao Jingyan kindly reminded. In fact, he knew that it was more appropriate to "help relatives in the gang", but he wanted to make trouble, and the more chaotic the scene, the more comfortable he was!

Xiao Yuan obviously didn't trust the fourth uncle, and didn't speak immediately after getting the answer, while observing the fourth uncle's expression, he turned his inquiring eyes to his father, hurry up and help!

General Xiao looked at his grandchildren with a smile and was funny, as for the youngest son who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he was directly ignored by him, forget it, he is in a good mood today and is not as knowledgeable as him.

"Don't you guys have gifts for your grandfather, why don't you take them out quickly?" Xiao Jingtai was very curious about the gifts prepared by several children.

Starting from Xiao Lang, they have offered gifts prepared by themselves, including exquisite wine utensils and excellent wine, Xiao Yang sent out a hand-drawn album of five poultry operas, hoping that even if his grandfather leaves the battlefield, he will not forget to maintain his health and exercise.

Xiao Rui later remembered that his grandfather was illiterate, and regretfully put away the "book of war", although he was naughty, but it was not useless, because he liked to ride horses very much, and knew that his grandfather also loved to ride horses, so he made a horse whip for his grandfather, although the style was simpler, but it was polished very smooth, and it was heartfelt at a glance.

In fact, what everyone is looking forward to is the performance of the four youngest children.

Xiao Jun and Xiao Qi also gave gifts in a cooperative way. It is a chess game that they participate in the selection and production of materials.

Before Xiao Yao could start acting, Xiao Jingyan preemptively spoke: "Ping'an, today is your grandfather's birthday, you can't be perfunctory like before, so you have to have a decent gift, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Yao silently decided in her heart that next time the fourth uncle had something to do, she would not only have to stand by and watch, but also applaud on the sidelines. Hmph, fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I wouldn't have been seen as a joke by the fourth uncle.

"Bring me my gifts." Xiao Yao waved his hand proudly.

"And me, I have a share." Xiao Yuan is afraid that he will be forgotten, this hitchhike is really not easy, it seems that next year he will have to put more effort into preparing a birthday gift that belongs to him.

Xiao Fu and Xiao Hui took a scroll and unfolded it in front of General Xiao.

The family all came around to find out, Xiao Yao had never shown her talent for painting in front of everyone, and no one even saw her hold a paintbrush, but she dared to present a painting in public on such a solemn occasion today, and everyone was extremely curious to wait for the moment to witness the miracle to come soon.

A small size, unframed painting slowly unfolded in front of everyone, the picture is a warm scene of grandparents and grandchildren, the old man is spiritual, majestic General Xiao; The little girl is a cheerful, smiling Xiao Yao, the picture is simple, generous, and clear at a glance.

"I didn't see that my little niece is still a talented girl." Xiao Jingyan finally said the only nutritious word in the whole night.

"Ping'an is so good, vivid." General Xiao admired it for a long time and nodded pertinently.

This sentence really needs to be studied, not to mention that the peace painting is OK, even if it is full of paper and ink, in your old eyes, it is not worse than the national hand-painted.

Seeing that the rest of the people just nodded, but there was no meaning of praise, General Xiao was dissatisfied, these people must be jealous, jealous of peace and good-looking and ingenious, even if they agree in their hearts, they refuse to say it or admit it.

"Hey, where is your share of Ruyi?"

Xiao Yao really wants to ask the fourth uncle, are you afraid that everyone will forget you? From time to time, I really don't know how you maintain your personable appearance in front of outsiders, you must be pretending to be very hard.

"Xiaofu, Xiaohui, you lower down, yes, that's it, you come here, I'll show you." After everyone gathered, Xiao Yuan pointed to the two lines of slightly crooked words next to the picture and proudly told them, "This is what I wrote." ”

"Blessing is like the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan" is Xiao Yuan's handwritten inscription, which she practiced many times on the paper, and thought she was more satisfied, so she wrote it next to her sister's painting.

Yuan Yutong smiled apologetically at Tong Mingyu, her daughter's obvious behavior of borrowing chickens to lay eggs is really a bit shameful. Tong Mingyu's mind is not on this at all, she didn't expect her daughter to have this talent, it seems that even if she can't become an all-round talent in the future, at least she has a specialty.

Women are not only good looks, morality, appearance, speech, and work are indispensable, although few people become all-rounders, but as long as the conditions allow, parents hope that their daughters can master more skills, the better the better.

"Peace is good, Ruyi is good, this gift grandfather likes it very much, Ping An learns to paint well, Ruyi writes well, and then paints a picture for my grandfather in a few years, okay?" Steward Feng, ask someone to frame this painting and hang it in my study, I want to enjoy it every day. General Xiao smiled and commanded.

knew that this must be the result in the end, Xiao Rui glanced at his mouth and turned his head, he worked hard for several days as well as his sister opportunistically to win the favor of his grandfather, there is no reason, there is no reason.

"Grandmother, my sister and I entertained those ladies in the garden today, but they didn't like my sister and hid far away." Xiao Yuan complained.

This is worth it, General Xiao quit in the first place, was a guest in his own home, and dared to bully his baby granddaughter Ping'an.

"Ruyi, tell me which young lady dares to bully your sister." General Xiao stood up suddenly, counted the number of people, and then went to Xingshi to ask about the guilt.

Not only did General Xiao feel strange, but everyone in the family looked incredulous. Ping An has a good temperament and is sensible, few people can't get along with her, and everyone is very angry when she is disliked by others in her own home.

"Ping'an, did you say anything that would easily cause misunderstanding among the young ladies of the family?" Tong Mingyu tried to figure out why.

Xiao Yao knew that those little girls were nothing more than jealous of their looks, and later they had a misunderstanding because of the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes. She knows these reasons but can't say them, whether anyone believes that she doesn't know, but it's very likely that she was treated as a monster by her mother.

"Ping An is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things, these young ladies won't be jealous because the prince and they came to our house to attend the banquet." Li Jiaoying said indignantly.

Second aunt, you guessed that it was very close to the truth, continue, continue, Xiao Yao thought secretly.

It wasn't until everyone walked out of Ninghetang that they were about to separate and go their separate ways, Xiao Jingyan suddenly realized: "I know why." ”

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"They refused to pay attention to Ping An because of their good looks, and I was so happy that I finally had someone to accompany me at home." Xiao Jingyan said happily.

Hearing this reason, everyone was silent, such a young child's jealousy was so strong, that people didn't know what to say.

General Xiao snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily, and didn't know whether he was angry with his son or dissatisfied with those young ladies.
