Chapter 33 I'll make you slate-burned
"Buns, help me get the thread."
Fiddling with the things in her hand, Wen Tiantian pondered the kite skeleton like a puzzle.
"Buns? If you hear me, bring the thread ball, and I'll have to see if it's the right fit. ”
The little fox lying next to him with squinting eyes looked pleasant, shook his furry ears when he heard Wen Tiantian's words, and reluctantly stood up and picked up the thread.
The soft woolen dumplings tasted good, and the buns stood still, their little eyes blinked, and they suddenly jumped and ran away in the opposite direction.
"Hey, where are you going with the buns? Don't run, run what! ”
The little guy ignored her, and ran to the distance with the woolen ball in his mouth and played with himself.
Wen Tiantian saw that her thread ball was thrown on the ground by the bun and pulled around, and her heart was on fire!
"Stinky buns, thread balls are dirty by you! Give it back to me! ”
dropped the half-made kite, Wen Tiantian jumped up and chased wildly.
However, the fox ran faster than her on four legs, and circled around the small courtyard with a ball of yarn in his mouth, but he didn't let her catch it.
Wen Tian was half dead with a sweet breath, panting with his hands on his hips.
"While Qiu Yan is not at home, even you bully me, don't you? Stinky buns, believe it or not, I'll sue you when he comes back, and let him detain your chicken legs! ”
The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and Baozi suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears, and then immediately rushed to the door with a ball of thread!
"Stinky buns, don't run! Give me back the thread! ”
As soon as Qiu Yan arrived outside the door, she heard the angry voice of the little girl in the courtyard, and pushed the door open in confusion.
A little snow-white thing pounced on him, plunged into his arms, rubbed his head affectionately on the clothes on his chest, and did not forget to make a whining sound at him with something in his mouth.
"Qiu Yan? How did you come back so quickly? ”
Wen Tiantian, who took off his shoes and was about to throw them over, was dumbfounded when he saw him, and looked at him in a daze: "Didn't you say that you were going to go out for three days, why did you get home today?" ”
Qiu Yan looked at her, then at the shoes she was holding in her hand, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise you two would have to tear down your home." ”
"Well, no, we're having fun." Foolishly put on his shoes, and handed over a bag of things in front of him.
"What's this? Did you buy something fun again? ”
"It's not fun, I came back and passed by the market to buy two catties of osmanthus cake, and I also brought you a small gift, open it to see if you like it?"
The things were handed to her, Qiu Yan freed his hand to hold the bun that was dead in his arms, and walked to the kitchen with the fresh vegetables he bought in the other hand.
"What's that? God mysterious. ”
Walking back behind him, Wen Tiantian couldn't wait to open the small box, which contained a very delicate crystal bracelet, and the pink and tender beads could be seen in the sunlight with tiny cracks like petals.
This...... It's so beautiful, isn't it?
Cautiously stretched out his finger and touched the small pendant on the bracelet, on which was engraved a small word: Wen.
"Where did you buy the bracelet? It's so pretty, isn't it? I stay at home every day and don't go out, will it be a bit of a waste for me to give me such a beautiful bracelet? ”
She occasionally accompanies Qiu Yan down the mountain to walk before changing herself into decent clothes and shoes, and when she is in a good mood, she will apply a little powder to her face and simply draw her eyebrows.
Beautiful jewelry has nothing to do with her, so she can only lie in the jewelry box.
Qiu Yan led her into the kitchen, put the dishes in her hand on the shelf and began to clean up. It's not the first time this girl has received the jewelry he brought back, and she still looks like "I'm not worthy", which really blinded him for all his hard work.
Pick up a rag and wipe your hands, take out the bracelet in the box, unbutton it, and crouch in front of her.
"Get your hands."
"What?"
"Don't ask, take it."
"Oh."
Obediently stretched out her left hand, Wen Tiantian watched in surprise as he put the bracelet on her wrist.
"It's good-looking, let's wear it and play with it."
Gently grabbing her wrist and looking at it, Qiu Yan smiled with satisfaction: "The small characters on this are engraved by myself, and his original one is not good-looking." I couldn't find a decent one in that store for a long time, so I had to do it myself. There are many sweet strokes, and it is not easy to engrave, so I changed your surname. ”
Listening to his explanation, Wen Tiantian's cheeks gradually became rosy.
"Qiu Yan, why are you bothering to dress me up so much? Do you think I'm ugly? ”
The dead ghost who eavesdropped on the two of them suddenly turned dark, this girl used her body very well, and she was so white that she didn't steal her fun, but she still thought she was ugly? What a bullshit aesthetic!
Qiu Yan couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and scratch her nose when she heard this, "What do you want!" Look at the scar on my face, how do you dislike you? ”
"Don't be shy, your kite skeleton is not tied tightly, and it can't fly when it's done, I'll help you get it when I'm done cleaning it up later."
"Oh."
Qiu Yan is a little expert, and there is nothing he can't do outside the house. Wen Tian helped wash the vegetables sweetly, hummed a small tune, and listened to Qiu Yan say a word about the interesting things she encountered outside.
"So you asked Ye Shiyuan to beat Master Lu? He's so badly injured, can he do it? ”
Qiu Yan said innocently: "This job is not sent by me, it is all Su Zihe's idea, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Oh, I'll just say, you're not such a ruthless person, you can't run to squeeze the wounded."
Hearing these words in Qiu Yan's ears, he felt a little guilty in his heart. It's not that Ye Shiyuan, but that she found that her image in Wen Tiantian's heart seemed to be too perfect, and she really felt that she was an impeccable man.
After thinking about it, he swallowed the explanation back to his stomach. The days to come are still long, Tian Tian will always know what kind of person he is, and I wonder if she will be disappointed when she finds out that she also has many shortcomings.
"Qiu Yan, you've been working so hard outside for two days, let me do dinner."
"What, you received a gift and want to cook to thank me?"
Cleaning up the kitchen with her hands and feet, Qiu Yan took off her apron and walked to the table to drink water, seeing the little girl staring at her mysteriously, she wondered: "Why do you look at me like this?" Did I get soot on my face? ”
Retracting her gaze, Wen Tiantian's heart was inexplicably sweet.
Afraid that he would hear the pounding heartbeat, he hurriedly ran to the corner and turned out his small medicine stove and stone slab.
"You go and rest, and I'll make you slate at night!"
"What's slate-burning?"
"It's like a barbecue. Oh, don't ask, you'll be busy as soon as you come back. Let's go have some tea and take a break, and you'll have to help me make a kite later! ”
Pushed Qiu Yan out of the kitchen, and asked him to take a hot shower first, change into loose clothes, and rest well. Wen Tiantian snatched the saliva woolen ball from the bun's mouth, ran to the yard to tidy up the kite he had half-made, arranged all kinds of tools on the table, and then began to prepare the ingredients for their dinner.
After Qiu Yan finished washing, she changed into clean clothes and sat on the bamboo chair, watching the little girl running around inside and outside the house, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.
After getting along for so long, he felt that Wen Tiantian was not lazy, but he was not interested in many things. In order to show him something new, he will also work very hard.
After resting for a while, Qiu Yan got up and walked over to carefully examine the kite material she had placed on the table.
"What is this?" Picking up the fabric, Qiu Yan unfolded it and looked at it and felt a little familiar, "Didn't you cut the clothes and use them to make kites?" ”
"That's right! I didn't have that big paper at home, so I found an old dress and cut it. Later, I'll have to find a pen and draw some flowers and plants on it, and decorate the villain or something. ”
The dead ghost's clothes are all plain, not even the color and texture, she doesn't like this dull look very much, so every time she accompanies Qiu Yan down the mountain, she will buy a few clothes she likes and come back, and the dead ghost's ones are all piled up in the corner of the wardrobe, just take them out to make kites.
In this regard, the dead ghost didn't say anything after knowing it, and she became more and more bold.
"Okay." Qiu Yan put down the fabric and looked at the wood on the table, and said helplessly, "This is too heavy and not suitable for a kite skeleton." I remember that there are still a few bamboo sticks at home, you draw first, and I'll see if I can find them. ”
The family's utility room was converted into his room, and all the miscellaneous items were piled up in a simple straw hut made of wood in the courtyard.
Wen Tiantian ran to the house to get pen and ink, while Qiu Yan went to the shed to rummage through it, and finally pulled out a bamboo cut into three sections from the corner.
Measure the size and use a knife to cut out a dozen thin bamboo strips. The toughness of bamboo is very good, and it is still very good to make a kite skeleton.
When he went back with the bamboo strips, he found that Wen Tiantian had already drawn a lot of things crookedly on the fabric.
"It's a good drawing, I can't imagine that you are still a hidden artist. What are these paintings, can the master help explain them? ”
Wen Tiantian's painting, Qiu Yan completely closed his eyes and boasted, because he couldn't understand what the things on the painting were.
"Well, you don't need to put gold on my face, I know I'm a soul painter." Wen Tiantian blushed and was weak-hearted, seeing that he was curious, she could only point to him with a brush and explain it to him one by one.
"Look at this circle, it's our small courtyard, and the back is our house. The tall man at the front of the room is you, the shorter one in the middle is me, and the small circle at your feet is the unfinished bun. ”
Qiu Yan with a little playful smile gradually disappeared in her explanation, he looked at the messy paintings, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, a little warm, and a little inexplicably moved.
"You painted it, is it our family?"
"That's right!" Wen Tiantian saw that he was actually studying carefully, and scratched his hair a little embarrassed, "I'm not used to using the brush, and there was still ink dripping on it when I started painting, let's make do with it, I can't play it a few times anyway, that's what it means." ”
She didn't really know what to draw on it, so she just drew a circle. It felt a bit monotonous when I looked left and right, so I added a few more strokes. After painting the yard, Qiu Yan didn't come back, so she drew the house and the two villains. Since the bun is called a bun, she thought about it for a while and simply circled it around her feet and ordered two smaller dots to prove that the bun was a living thing.
Such a painting that even kindergarten children can't reach, Qiu Yan seems to see it, and only after a while does he say softly: "The painting is very good, don't paint it next time." ”
"Oh."
The two of them were busy in the yard for a long time, Qiu Yan's hands were very skillful, and the kite skeleton made was particularly strong. Stick the cloth to the size and paste on it, and a handmade kite will be considered ready.
"Let it hang, and tie the rope tomorrow when it's dry." Qiu Yan said.
"Okay."
Wen Tiantian put the kite on the table and brought a few stones to press it, so as not to be blown away by the wind at night, and the two of them would be busy in vain.
Dinner was slate roast made by Wen Tiantian, and Qiu Yan prepared two steamed buns and cooked a small pot of vegetable soup.
Watching the little girl brush the oil on the slate seriously, and then put the ingredients on it to heat, Qiu Yan frowned.
"The stone is not resistant to fire, it stands to reason that such a thin slate should break if it is roasted on the fire, how can it be so strong, and there is no crack when it is scalded like this?"
"Tiantian, where did you find this thing?"
"Pick it up!" Wen Tiantian took a sip of the hot soup and smacked her lips, "I went to play in the grove when I was bored at home on the day you left, and I saw this thing being crushed in a pile of stones, I thought it was a little dark, different from other stones, but I didn't care too much." Later, on the day of the rain, I suddenly wanted to eat teppanyaki, so I went to pick it up. ”
"The slices of meat cook very quickly on top of this, and I think it's okay to use it for pancakes, don't you think?"
