Chapter 69: Pika
Cheng Linchang asked, "Who belongs to this cat?" ”
Donglin preemptively said: "Sister said that this is a wild cat, which was picked up in the mountain temple." ”
Cheng Linchang didn't believe it, "How can a wild cat grow so fat?" ”
Yuan Bao heard that he was fat, and immediately meowed unhappily.
Xianghua smiled: "Dad, it's not like you haven't seen a mountain mouse, this cat is fat, and it can move flexibly, and you can eat several at one meal." ”
Cheng Linchang believed it.
Kanae took over and said, "Dad, let's leave this cat behind, it's winter, it's cold outside." ”
Donglin also said: "Sister has chosen all the names, called Yuanbao." ”
Cheng Linchang has always been kind, so he said: "It's okay, our family is also a cat and a dog." Dabao come here, you have a little brother! ”
Dabao ran over with his tail flicked, curious to smell the ingots, but the ingots slapped it in the face and startled it.
"This ingots are amazing, Dabao shows your majesty!"
Dabao pitiful: "Woo......"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Starting from ingots, all kinds of small animals in Xianghua's family gradually increased.
At first, a greedy fat crow flew in from time to time, and then there were little squirrels, hares, etc., and the adult family was not surprised, they lived in the mountains, and naturally became friends with the mountains.
In the evening they ate pine nuts and chatted.
Donglin asked: "Brother Taro, we all have birthdays, when is your birthday?" ”
Taro smiled: "In a few days, do you remember the day I came to your house?" ”
Donglin thought about it and suddenly realized: "I remember, it's the eighth day of the lunar month!" ”
Xiangmiao clapped her hands and said, "It's just time to eat laba porridge!" ”
Xianghua smiled: "It's only a few days, think about how you want to celebrate Taro's birthday, right?" ”
Donglin is very close to taro, and he actively makes suggestions at this time.
"You have to eat the birthday noodles, and you have to eat Laba porridge...... Brother Taro loves fish, so I want to ask my father to buy a good fish and come back......"
Xianghua nodded and glanced at the taro: "Remember to hear clearly, it's not in vain that your taro brother hurts you." ”
Xiangmiao was unconvinced and said: "Donglin only knows how to eat, Brother Taro's clothes are old, what about the cloth I bought last time?" I'm going to ask Aunt Tao to make new clothes for Brother Taro! ”
Xianghua was jealous and said: "You two children, you are more attentive to taro than to me, why don't you give things on my birthday?" ”
Xiangmiao smiled and leaned on her coquettishly: "Sister, you have a father and a grandmother to worry about, as well as Sister Cao'er and Sister Xiaoman, there are many people who care about you." ”
The implication is that only the people in their family will ask for warmth, so they naturally have to pay more attention.
Xianghua was not really jealous, touched Xiangmiao and Donglin's heads, and said with a smile: "It's good that you have this heart, my sister is happy." ”
Taro smiled and glanced at Xianghua, waiting for her to say the gift she was giving.
Xianghua remembered the peach hairpin he gave him, pursed her lips and smiled: "My gift will be kept secret first, and I will tell you on Taro's birthday!" ”
Donglin and Xiangmiao said in unison: "Sister is cunning! ”
Xianghua laughed.
The thirtieth month of the lunar month is the New Year, and the construction period of the embankment has obviously been intensified after entering the lunar month, and Xianghua and Cheng Linchang discussed the New Year's gifts sent to various places this year, and began to prepare.
Xiangmiao saw that her sister was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground these days, so she quietly asked, "Sister, are you ready for the gift for Brother Taro?" ”
Xianghua said: "I'm preparing." ”
Xiangmiao pursed her lips and posed as a little adult: "Sister, you know that Brother Taro cares most about your gift, so you can have more snacks and prepare well." I'll help you get the New Year's gift in a few days. ”
Xianghua couldn't help laughing: "How old are you to point me out?" Anyone likes taro's gifts, don't talk nonsense about your little mouth. ”
Xiangmiao sighed and spread her hands, "Although I am young, I can see clearly. Brother Taro gave you that hairpin has been grinding for more than half a month! ”
Xianghua's face turned red, "Okay, I know!" I'm ready to go, right? ”
Xiangmiao smiled and nodded.
Xianghua is not like taro, who can write and martial arts and do handicrafts, she has never learned talent, and she can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In the past, she could buy a decent one with a little effort to give gifts, but this time she can't be lazy, what should she use to return the peach hairpin?
Xianghua thought about it for several days, tossed and turned at night, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she was half asleep and half awake a day, and immediately turned over and sat up to "fight at night".
Early in the morning, Cheng Linchang made birthday noodles for taro. Taro thanked him and ate the noodles.
Donglin pointed to the fish jumping in the basin and said proudly: "Brother Taro, this is the mandarin fish that my father and I went to buy!" The fish seller said it was delicious! ”
Xiangmiao also held the clothes made by Aunt Tao and said, "Brother Taro, you are wearing short clothes, I specially asked Aunt Tao to make you a long shirt this time." ”
Taro smiled and said thank you, while putting the clothes on her body and trying it on, Aunt Tao is worthy of being a good hand, and she does not have to measure the size to do eight or nine.
Cheng Linchang asked Xianghua with a smile: "Xianghua, what about you?" ”
Xianghua stood up with a twist, took out a small cloth bag, and said embarrassedly: "This is what I gave you, don't open it." I'll look at it when you get back to your room. ”
The taro was pinched, and it was so soft that he couldn't guess what it was for a while, only thought it was a sweat towel or a handkerchief.
Xiangmiao is a narrow ghost, and a few days ago, when she slept in a daze, she saw her sister secretly sewing something, and now she was even more anxious to see what was going on.
She took advantage of the taro's stunned hair, pretending to accidentally bump into it, and the cloth bag fell to the ground, revealing a corner of the object inside.
Donglin didn't recognize what it was.
Cheng Linchang asked Xiangmiao to be careful, and kindly picked up things for the taro. But Cheng Lin Chang was clumsy, and the things inside this shake were all revealed.
"Xianghua, when did you learn to make a belt?" Cheng Linchang asked in surprise.
Xianghua was so ashamed that her ears were red, and she said, "Who learned?" It's just casual fun. ”
She took the belt and stuffed it into Taro's arms.
Taro unfolded it in a daze, the belt was made of stone blue silk, the stitches were not neat, but the sewing was fine and dense, and there was a snow-white animal embroidered at each end of the belt.
Donglin came up to take a look and asked, "Is this a rabbit?" ”
Xiangmiao also ran over to look, shook her head and said, "This is obviously a mouse, but isn't the mouse gray?" ”
Xianghua said: "Ordinary mice are gray, and there is a kind of mouse called brocade mouse, and the fur is snow-white." ”
The two children sighed, and then asked, "Why did my sister embroider mice for Brother Taro?" ”
Cheng Linchang explained with a smile: "Taro is a rat, right? ”
Taro smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
Cheng Linchang looked at Xianghua and smiled kindly: "Xianghua is rare to work on these things, it can be seen that she is attentive." Although the thing is not very good-looking, it is expensive in a heart. ”
Xianghua raised her eyes and glared at her father with shame and anger.
Taro folded the belt, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Where it doesn't look good, I think it looks good." ”
