I was going to leave for the town today, and Hua Xi'er went to Xiao Qi's house early in the morning with a small basket.

Xiao Qi's family was having breakfast, and Hua Xi'er walked into the house and greeted everyone warmly, "Morning, everyone." ”

Hua Xi'er wore an apricot-colored wide skirt today, with a pearl hairpin on her head and a little powder, which looked bright and moving.

Niu Shi looked up at Hua Xi'er, "Morning, Miss Xi'er, you are dressed so beautifully today." ”

Hua Xi'er hurriedly put down the basket when she heard the compliment, stretched out her arms and turned around, and asked Xiao Qi and Ah Fu: "Ah Fu's nephew, Xiao Qi's niece, why didn't I hear your voice?" ”

Ah Fu, "Beautiful." ”

Xiao Qi almost choked because she was in a hurry to speak, she swallowed the bun and clapped her hands, "Aunt Xi, you are really beautiful dressed like this today." ”

Hua Xi'er walked to the table and picked up a bun and ate it in her mouth, and after eating, she leaned into Xiao Qi's ear and whispered, "I'm going to go to the town with you, I want to see what kind of house Senior Brother Li Yu lives in." ”

Xiao Qi knew that Aunt Xi's mind was full of flying heroes.

After breakfast, Xiao Qi thought that Mrs. Li treated her very generously, and she would often give more money to buy vegetables. Xiao Qi wanted to give some small gifts to Brother Yan, and after obtaining Ah Fu's consent, Xiao Qi found a lot of small wooden animals to come out.

These wood-carved animals were all made by Liu Dahe for her and Ah Fu in the past, and the surface has been polished very smooth.

Xiao Qi wiped the woodcarved small animal with a handkerchief, then packed it in a small basket, and said to Hua Xi'er: "I'll take these to Senior Brother Li Yu's son to play." ”

Hua Xi'er, "Okay, I also prepared a gift for Brother Yan." ”

Xiao Qi stepped forward, "Aunt Xi, show me what you are preparing?" ”

Hua Xi'er took out the gift, it was a rag doll made of cloth, the background color was apricot, the clothes were small flowers, the eyes were sewn with two black beads, and the hair was two small braids.

Ah Fu also came up, "Aunt Xi, this rag doll is really beautiful." ”

Hua Xi'er, "It's good-looking, I named her Xiaohua." ”

Xiao Qi stroked his chest, fortunately, the name was not Xiao Qi.

Niu Shi also came around, "Are these black beads made of pearls?" ”

Hua Xi'er, "Exactly, my father brought me a box of pearls from the south, there are several colors, and I look at this black when my eyes are just right." ”

Saying that, Hua Xi'er touched a string of pearls and put it on Xiao Qi's wrist, "Yes, it's just right, Xiao Qi, you look so good wearing this string of powder, let me tell you, this weaving technique is transmitted from the south, and it can be retracted and adjusted when worn on the hand." ”

Liu Dahe saw that Hua Xi'er gave such a valuable thing to Xiao Qi, so he said: "Xiao Qi is still young, so he can't use such an expensive thing." ”

Xiao Qi wanted to take it off, but Hua Xi'er stopped her, "Don't take it off, I have a lot of this thing in my house, I have necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and several beads, and there are still a lot of beads left, and it's a waste to put them away." ”

Niu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is really a rich man, this is treating pearls like mud balls.

Niu occasionally went to the silver building in the town to have a look, but she never bought herself a jewelry, and the only time she bought it was for her mother Yu. There were also pearls sold in the silver building, but the price was so expensive that she didn't even dare to try them on.

At this time, the pear blossom on the other side of the door also came, and Xiao Qi and the three of them set off together.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the village, and happened to meet the ox cart in Wangjia Village next door, Hua Xi'er hurriedly waved to stop the ox cart, handed three cents to the person who drove the ox cart, and said to Pear Blossom and Xiao Qi: "Let's take the ox cart, I'll have a treat." ”

Xiao Qi, "Aunt Xi, how do you know that a person is a penny?" ”

Hua Xi'er raised her chin, "You think I'm a person who doesn't know anything about four or six, my mother has already started teaching me housekeeping." ”

After Rika climbed into the ox cart, she thanked Hua Xi'er vigorously, "Aunt Xi, thank you for helping me pay for the ox cart." ”

"And you gave me a lot of beautiful clothes before, I always wanted to say thank you to you, and when I got back to the town, I invited you two to eat sugar gourds, one string per person."

"Okay." After Hua Xi'er got into the car, she made up in her heart what the residence of the flying hero looked like, it should be very mysterious......

Xiao Qi saw that Lihua was wearing a silver bracelet on her hand, which was shining with silver luster under the reflection of the sun's rays, so she said, "Sister Lihua, the bracelet on your hand is very beautiful." ”

Lihua snorted and replied to Xiao Qi: "The pearl bracelet in your hand is also very good-looking." ”

When they arrived at the gate of the town's opera garden, the people on the ox cart left separately, and Xiao Qi and Lihua took Hua Xi'er to Li's house in a familiar way.

As soon as she entered the door, Hua Xi'er ran up and kissed Brother Yan when she saw her, which made Brother Yan giggle.

When Mrs. Li saw Brother Yan smiling, she showed a relieved smile on her face, and said to Xiao Qi: "Brother Yan and you are very close to each other, I hope you will come to play often." ”

Hua Xi'er: "Okay, we'll come over often." ”

Saying that, Hua Xi'er took out Xiaohua, "Brother Yan, you are so good-looking, this rag doll is called Xiaohua, and it was given to you." ”

Brother Yan giggled and took the rag doll, sat on the edge of the stone table and played.

Xiao Qi also took out the small animals carved from wood and put them on the stone table, and let Brother Yan play, Brother Yan was happy, grabbed them in his hands one by one, played with them repeatedly, and licked them with his little tongue, and drooled a lot.

Pear Blossom, "Brother Yan, this can't be eaten." ”

Brother Yan put it down ignorantly, and Xiao Qi picked up the small wood carvings one by one to teach Brother Yan to identify these small animals, "This is a dog, this is a pig, and this is a sheep......"

Brother Yan also repeated, "Dog...... Pig...... Sheep ......"

Mrs. Li was very excited to see that Brother Yan could recognize these small animals, and wiped Brother Yan's saliva with a handkerchief, and praised: "My Brother Yan is really getting smarter and smarter." ”

Xiao Qi, "Brother Yan will get smarter and smarter in the future." ”

Hua Xi'er also played with Brother Yan for a while, and then she touched around in the yard, and saw everything very rare, Mrs. Li looked inexplicable, and Hua Xi'er chatted with Mrs. Li enthusiastically after taking a look.

Mrs. Li had already seen the black pearl on the rag doll just now, and said to Hua Xi'er, "You and Xiao Qi are from the same village, right, the black pearl is too valuable, I'll count it as silver for you." ”

Hua Xi'er waved her hand, "That's a gift I specially prepared for Brother Yan, how can you give me money?" ”

Saying that, Hua Xi'er quietly approached Mrs. Li and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, Xiao Qi and I are both the junior sisters of your father-in-law Li Yu." ”

Mrs. Li was very happy, "Really, great, I didn't expect the old man Wuwei to accept female apprentices." ”

Before leaving, Mrs. Li took three purses from the house and gave one each to Xiao Qi, Hua Xi'er, and Pear Blossom.

After the three of them left the Li family, they each opened the purse in their hands, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er's purse was filled with a red coral bracelet, but inside the pear blossom's purse was a few silver bills.

Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were very happy, but they didn't notice Pear Blossom's disappointed look.

The three of them walked to the gate of the opera garden, and the young master of the Wang family was already waiting there, and when he saw them, he hurriedly said hello, "Miss Lihua, Miss Xiaoqi, how are you." ”

Pear Blossom's face turned crimson, and she said to Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er: "You two go back first, I still have some things, I'll go back later." ”

Xiao Qi: "Sister Lihua, pay attention to your own safety." ”

The young master of the Wang family answered, "Little Seventh Girl, relax your mind."

After a while, the ox cart from Wangjia Village came, and Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er took the ox cart from Wangjia Village home.
