177 apologies
Although Su Qingluan has always liked to spoil her sister, this time she was indeed a little angry.
If she bought the book herself, it would be a big deal to buy another one. However, the book that was turned into "Mille-Feuille" by Su Xueyan was borrowed from Mu Xingzhi.
Su Qingluan has always understood that the meaning and value of books in this era are not the same as those in her previous life, and they are more precious items, and they can even be regarded as "precious property".
What's more, she wasn't sure if the manuscript she borrowed was the only one or something.
Although intellectually Su Qingluan also knew that precious solitary books would not be easily borrowed, but thinking about Mu Xingzhi's approachable temperament and the "responsive" style of the villagers, Su Qingluan was very unsure whether this young man with a very "good gentleman" style would know how to refuse.
In case this is really a one-of-a-kind ......
In any case, Su Qingluan still decided to take the "direct incriminating evidence" - that is, the book as soon as possible, and brought his little sister to the door to apologize to Mu Xingzhi.
Messy thoughts flashed in Su Qingluan's heart, and she listened to her sister's incoherent explanation.
Actually, it's not a big deal, it comes down to children's curiosity.
The only "large furniture" in Su Qingluan's room was the storage box at the head of the bed. There are all kinds of sundries in the box, put it at the head of the bed, and the lid is very flat when it is closed, so Su Qingluan uses this storage box as a bedside table.
So occasionally, Su Qingluan would also put some miscellaneous items on the lid of this box - such as bottles and cans or tea bowls for drinking water by himself.
Su Xueyan's little girl occasionally went into Su Qingluan's room, but Su Qingluan didn't care too much. One of the furnishings in her room - or the entire Su family - is unobstructed, there is nothing to hide, and another little girl who is more than three years old is still a little ahead of her time when she talks about privacy.
The most important thing is that Su Qingluan has always felt that the little girl is more well-behaved, and she never rummages around in her room, so there is no need to warn her.
But since she started borrowing books from Mu Xingzhi, in order to prevent the books from being damaged, she was always careful, and even put the books back into the box at the bedside after every time she read them, so it was difficult to explain the damage to other people's books.
She even specially told her younger siblings that the bedside table in her house should not be rummaged through, and there were important books in it.
Su Xuanhe himself didn't have much interest in books, not to mention that since he entered Master Zhou's school, he had homework every day, so he didn't have much time to come to her room to mess around.
is a well-behaved little girl, out of curiosity, but wants to see what the books in Sister A's box are good, so while Su Qingluan and her father are going out to do business, she sneaked into Sister A's room and wanted to "find out".
Normally, when Su Qingluan goes out, in order to prevent the sudden rain from spilling into the room, Su Qingluan puts down the window of her room, which also causes her room to be dimly lit even though it is daytime.
What's more, the storage compartment at the head of the bed is painted in a dark brown color, which has become a mottled mixture of wood and tan after washing over time.
And the tea bowl used by Su Qingluan to drink water is coarse porcelain, the size of a palm, and it is also dark brown. It's just a small one, placed in the corner of the bedside storage box against the wall.
Originally, Su Qingluan put this tea bowl against the wall, in order to prevent himself from accidentally touching it and knocking it over and wetting the bed, but this time it had the opposite effect.
Originally, as Su Xueyan lifted the lid of the box, the teacup would roll to the side, but there was a wall to stop it, and due to the subtle interaction force, the teacup that should have been turned outward was poured back again, facing inward "bang-bang......".
Most of the glass of water in it was not wasted, and it was all served to the box.
Some change of clothes and winter clothes that are not used for the time being have to be taken out to dry and dismantle, and the book on the top has not been spared, and has become a very wrinkled "mille-feuille".
"Anyway, it's the book you took the trouble to come up with, don't you want to take a look?" Su Qingluan looked condescendingly at her sister's little hair whirl.
The little girl sobbed and shook her head.
"Why don't you look at it again?"
"Look...... I can't understand ......" The voice was aggrieved and pitiful, but Su Qingluan didn't plan to expose this article: If you take this opportunity to not let the little girl understand, and don't let the things you turn over can't move, then it's hard to guarantee that she will get into trouble in the future, and even anger people who shouldn't be provoked.
She crouched down and looked at her sister's teary-eyed eyes that were hidden with her head down: "Since you are curious about that book, why don't you come and ask me, but go to my cabinet yourself?" ”
“……”
"Huh?"
“…… Because, Sister didn't let me touch the book, but Sister never hid anything before and didn't let me ......read it" The little girl's voice was still very aggrieved, but she didn't cry. Because she knew she was wrong.
Su Qingluan understood in her heart: It turned out that the little girl felt that she had a "secret" between her and her, so she was unhappy.
She thought for a moment and explained in words that are easier for children to understand: "But you also have little secrets that you can't tell others—such as secretly spitting out the roots of pineapples......
"Sister!" The little girl puffed her head up.
"Look, if someone opens a 'little secret', no one will like it." In fact, Su Qingluan knew that strictly speaking, these two things could not be used for horizontal comparison, but after all, the child did not have such a strong logical thinking ability, so she could only use the things she had experienced as an analogy.
In the end, the little girl nodded: "Sister, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have rummaged through things without your consent......"
Su Qingluan nodded: "That's it, next time if you are curious about what is in my room, you can ask me directly, if you can tell you, Sister will tell you." ”
"Yes! I know! Su Xueyan nodded vigorously, and when she raised her little face, she was already a little more energetic than her previous dejected appearance, and she asked cautiously, "Then Sister, have you forgiven me?" \"
"What about this...... Su Qingluan sighed, "Before I forgive you, we actually have to ask for another person's forgiveness......
"What......?" The little girl's big eyes were full of big doubts.
"I borrowed this book from Mr. Mu, so now go wash your face and wipe your tears away, and we will go to Mr. Mu's house to apologize."
However, Su Qingluan didn't have a bottom in his heart: is it really useful to just apologize......
This book must not be treasured - she prayed silently in her heart.
