Chapter 25: Making Gifts

You Li had a whim to cut a handful of her hair on Shen Yanzhi's birthday and send it as a gift.

She still remembers Shen Yanzhi's surprised eyes at that time, but she had to put away this handful of hair under her own deterrence.

"Brother Yanyan, how is it? My gift to you must be the most special. At that time, You Li still said to Shen Yanzhi with an arrogant face.

Thinking back now, Yu Li longed to dig a crack in the ground and get in.

"I haven't sent anything serious before, but this time I want to send something practical." You Li dragged Su Yan towards the department store.

The two of them walked around for three floors, and You Li didn't see anything satisfactory, "Rest for a while, rest for a while, my feet are hurting." Su Yan collapsed on the sofa in the mall as if she had no bones.

"Yanyan, I'm so tired too, but I haven't seen anything satisfactory, what should I do?" Yuri also sat down to the side.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Su Yan's mind, and she asked, "Lili, what do you think of sending a fountain pen?" Shen Yanzhi must have used the pen you sent every day, as if you were always by his side, and it was romantic to think about it. ”

"But I don't have enough budget." You Li didn't feel that it was romantic there, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face in the future.

The things given to Shen Yanzhi must be selected, if something like a fountain pen wants to be of good quality and texture, the price must be at a high level, and now You Li can't afford such an expensive gift.

She was sitting on the sofa in a daze with her head down, when suddenly a small couple passed by the two of them, holding a ceramic doll in their hands.

You Li suddenly had an idea, she pointed to the ceramic shop not far away and said to Su Yan, "Yanyan, what do you think I made a doll with my own hands?" It can be placed on the table for viewing and can be stored for a long time. ”

Su Yan felt that this plan was feasible, and the two tacitly got up and walked towards the ceramic shop.

Most of the people in the store are couples, holding each other in pairs and stacking their hands on top of each other, which is not romantic. Su Yan said secretly on the side: "Lili, you can come over with Shen Yanzhi next time to make a doll, look at it, how suitable it is for the two of you." ”

You Li imagined in her mind because of Su Yan's words, she felt that Shen Yanzhi's hands were white and slender, and she must look good when she made a clay embryo.

The clerk didn't slack off because they were two children, and asked enthusiastically: "Little sister, you can ask me if you need anything or what you want to know." ”

"Is it easy to make this thing?" You Li asked, pointing to the ceramic doll placed not far away.

Under the patient explanation of the clerk, You Li was moved to pay the deposit and make an appointment to come over next Saturday to make ceramic dolls.

"I haven't seen you for a day, where have you gone?" Shen Yanzhi was really a little curious, usually You Li would tell herself no matter what she did, but this time she didn't even say hello to herself and ran out to play all day.

"I went shopping with Su Yan and ate a lot of food." You Li naturally couldn't tell Shen Yanzhi that she was going to prepare a gift for him, but she did go out with Su Yan today, and she didn't deceive Shen Yanzhi.

At night, Yuli is doing homework in her room, and after a day of playing, she is going to collect her homework and write her homework. Fang Lan knocked on the door with the milk, put it on the edge of the desk and said, "Lili, don't be too tired, go to bed early." By the way, it will be Yanyan's birthday in two weeks, and I heard from Jiali that Yanyan's grandmother will come to the city this year, and you are not allowed to send some strange things this year. ”

"Got it, it won't." You Li replied to Fang Landao. Even his own mother came to tell him specifically, which shows how outrageous the gifts he gave before were.

She looked at the white bear on her big bed, whether it was given by Shen Yanzhi when she was five years old, or the height he specially customized, so even You Li, who was already one meter four, was half a head shorter than the bear.

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Yanzhi seems to treat his birthday more seriously than his own, and he will give him what he wants every year.

I remember that one year You Li took a fancy to a skirt, Fang Lan felt that it was too expensive and didn't want to buy it for her, but in the end Shen Yanzhi bought it back, so he ate steamed buns for half a month.

Now that I think about it, Shen Yanzhi is really good to himself, he never gets angry with himself, and he never loses his temper with himself, even if he caused trouble when he was a child and smashed Shen Yanzhi's favorite aircraft carrier, he was not willing to lose his temper with himself.

You Li secretly swore that she would take Shen Yanzhi's birthday seriously in the future.

Shen Yanzhi, who had just come out of the shower, sneezed directly, Lan Jiali was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Got a cold? I'll make you a potion to drink. ”

Shen Yanzhi has long been accustomed to her mother, and if she says "no" now, she will definitely nag a lot, so it is better to let her go. Compared with the statement of cold, Shen Yanzhi was more inclined to think of him, and his eyes stared at the direction of You Li's room.

Soon it was time for You Li to make an appointment in the ceramic shop, and she still dragged Su Yan to accompany her, "My good Yanyan, you can go with me, I don't have the confidence to go by myself." ”

Su Yan, who was dizzy from shaking, opened her mouth to stop You Li's domineering of herself, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't shake me, my head is dizzy." ”

Su Yan was fooled like this, You Li dressed neatly and sat in front of the machine with the mud embryo next to her and pasted it up, and the moment the machine turned, the mud splashed everywhere.

"Lili, stop." Su Yan shouted anxiously, the two of them were not embarrassed, You Li was not so obvious outside in a coat, on the other hand, Su Yan's good clothes were splashed everywhere with mud.

"I'm sorry, Yeon-yeon, I didn't mean to, as soon as I step on this machine, it doesn't seem to be under my control." You Li said to Su Yan with an apologetic tone.

"It's okay, you hurry up and be more skilled before you get started, I'll go to the clerk and get a coat to put on." Su Yan naturally knew that You Li didn't mean it, and she didn't mean to blame, so she turned around and asked the clerk to get the clothes.

"Yanyan, you're wearing this dress, or you can make one too, you're here, you have to bring a souvenir back!" You Li pulled Su Yan with her.

"It's okay, you're right, you're here, you have to experience everything." After Su Yan finished speaking, she took the clay embryo at her feet and started to move decently.

Maybe Su Yan's artistic talent is relatively high, and she made a decent doll shape after a while, and she almost had to modify and improve it a little.

You Li's progress is more worrying, when she doesn't make the last step, the mud embryo is either crooked, or her hand doesn't know how to move and pinch it. In the end, I made a four-like appearance.

Su Yan saw this piece of things on the turntable, and said with a smile: "Lili, you seem to have fewer artistic cells than others." ”

"I don't know why this is happening, how did you do it so successfully?" You Li asked suspiciously.

"Otherwise, don't make a doll shape, you can pinch a cup, it's so simple, Shen Yanzhi can still use it when he drinks water every day." Su Yan gave a feasible suggestion.

"Oh, Yeon-yeon, you're so smart." As if inspired by Su Yan's words, You Li began to transform the clay embryo, she first pinched a round mouth, followed the lines, and slowly took shape.

"Huh" You Li breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made it, because it was difficult to color, the two of them chose the desired color and pattern and handed it to the clerk, and they came to pick it up after three days.

This experience reminded You Li of the clay sculpture she gave to Shen Yanzhi in kindergarten, and she felt that she had a talent for art, and she sent ugly clay shapes every day.

Thinking about it now, it's all black history, and she hopes that Shen Yanzhi has thrown away those "ugly things". It's a pity that Shen Yanzhi is like a treasure under the bookcase.

Three days later, You Li deliberately took advantage of the evening after school to get the finished ceramics, "Hey, what are you two doing so fast today, wait for me." Dou Huaisheng was packing his things when he saw that the two people sitting in front of him had already left their seats with their schoolbags.

In response to Dou Huai's life, there was only a quiet air, he wanted to be angry with these two people tomorrow, but the next day he brought snacks to the two of them as if he had no temper.

After You Li took the ceramics in her hand, she always felt that this cup was a little strange, so she asked, "Yanyan, do you think this cup is weird?" ”

"Didn't you make a handle for the cup?" Su Yan replied embarrassedly.

"It seems really, so what am I going to do now?" You Li asked without tears.

"It's okay, maybe people don't mind, you can drink water with a cup, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to make a pen holder, relax." Su Yan said comfortingly.

You Li walked home with the imperfect ceramic cup in her arms, "What's the matter, Lili, did you meet something unhappy at school today?" Fang Lan asked worriedly.

"No, I'll go back to my room first." You Li is not in the mood to answer her mother now.

Fang Lan looked at You Li's strange appearance and muttered in her heart: This kid, how strange is it. Then he turned around and went into the kitchen to continue cooking.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yanzhi's birthday was coming, and his grandmother had already arrived home two days early.

In You Li's impression, it seems that she has not seen Shen Yanzhi's grandmother much, and she heard Fang Lan say that Grandma Shen has been farming in her hometown and her health is not very good, so she does not often come to live in the city from her hometown.

Grandma Shen gave birth to a total of three children, Shen Yanzhong is the youngest and the most promising in the family, and he has an eldest sister and a second brother above him. When she was a child, her family was poor, and Grandma Shen felt that she must send a college student in her life, and the eldest sister and second brother kept this opportunity to themselves, so Shen Yanzhong often kept in touch with these two, and would send money from time to time.

The eldest sister married far away very early, and rarely came back after getting married, the second brother did not have a high diploma, and he got an errand in his hometown, and he stabilized in his hometown when he felt okay, and now he has always been taking care of the family.

This time Grandma Shen came over, Shen Yanzhong wanted to let the old man stay for a longer time, and also wanted to take him to the hospital for a full set of physical examinations, but Grandma Shen would definitely be too expensive and reluctant to go, Lan Jiali knew that her son was not very good at talking, so she asked You Li to coax Grandma Shen to say that the hospital would do a full body examination and discount.

Grandma Shen naturally knew that this was Shen Yanzhong's intentions.
