"Okay, it's settled." Ye Juan'er helped Mrs. Ye hold up the umbrella and pushed her out the door.

Mrs. Ye went home and explained things to Old Madam Ye, and then said something to Boss Ye, then she took Qingtian to Ye Juaner's house.

"Sunny, Mom is going to cook. Can you stay in the house and play with your uncle?"

"Okay." Qingtian still liked this cousin who took him to pick walnuts and gave him a small gourd.

As the youngest in the family, Ye Xianglei has no younger brothers or sisters to play with him.

When he was a child, it was a good thing that his elder sister and elder brother did not bully him. They had never seen a child as well-behaved as Qingtian, so they doted on Qingtian very much.

After seeing Qingtian like the small gourd very much last time, Ye Xianglei dug out many of his childhood toys, washed and repaired them, and planned to give them to Qingtian in return.

But after he finished the autumn harvest, it started raining every day, so he never found an opportunity.

Today, Mrs. Ye finally brought Qingtian here, so he was naturally very happy.

"Sunny, come quickly and see what fun things your uncle has found for you."

Ye Juan'er's family was ordinary, and the toys Ye Xianglei used as a child were actually the leftovers from his older sister and older brother.

Fortunately, this child has cherished things since he was young, so although these things are old, they are all preserved quite well.

But it was just a small box of building blocks and a tangram puzzle, plus a sandbag and a few nice pebbles.

If a child from a wealthy family saw this, he would probably look down on it, but for Qingtian, she had never had a toy of her own in the Shan family.

The Ye family had just come here fleeing famine, so it was impossible for them to think about bringing any toys for their children.

Boss Ye and his wife had never had children before. Although they loved Qingtian, they focused more on making sure she had enough food and clothing, and never thought about buying some toys for the child.

So Ye Xianglei's simple toys immediately attracted Qingtian's attention.

"Have you ever played with a tangram?" Seeing Qingtian's eyes lingering on the tangram for a long time, Ye Xianglei took it in front of Qingtian.

"Is this a tangram?" Qingtian asked in a low voice.

She had heard other children in the village talk about it before.

She was a very pretty little girl. Unlike Sunny Day, she was very popular at home.

When Qingtian went out to cut grass for the pigs, she heard her bragging to her good friend that her father went to the provincial capital to deliver goods and bought her a set of tangram puzzles.

It’s very beautiful and very fun.

Qingtian didn’t know what tangram was, but he kept these three words firmly in his mind.

She even vaguely dreamed that the kind boss bought a set of tangram puzzles for her younger brother, so she finally saw what the tangram puzzle looked like.

But because she had never seen it before, even in her dream, the tangram was hidden behind a cloud of mist and could not be seen at all.

Today I finally saw what a tangram looks like.

In a shallow square wooden tray, there are many wooden boards of different shapes and sizes, painted with colorful paint.

Although the paint color is not as bright as before due to the age, it is still very beautiful in sunny days.

She reached out and touched it carefully, then pulled her hand back as if afraid of breaking it.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xianglei felt inexplicably sad.

Usually, Boss Ye and Sister Ye love Qingtian very much, but how come this child has never even seen a jigsaw puzzle?

Ye Xianglei grabbed the small wooden planks from the wooden tray, fiddled with them for a few times, and made a pattern on the kang. He asked, "Sunny, what does this look like to you?"

Qingtian tilted his head and looked for a long time but still couldn't guess it.

Ye Xianglei scratched his head and explained to her, "Look, this is the beak, these are the wings, and this is the tail. Doesn't it look like a duck?"

Tangram puzzles are made of small wooden boards, so the things made by putting them together naturally cannot be the same as the real ones, they are just similar in appearance.

Qingtian had never come across it before, and only through Ye Xianglei's scratching explanation could he barely see some resemblance.

"Yes, it really looks like a duck!" Qingtian finally realized that it looked like a duck and clapped his hands happily.

Ye Xianglei was immediately inspired and racked his brains to piece together the several patterns he knew.

"Look, doesn't this look like a person bowing? He's even wearing a hat!

“And this, does this look like a person riding a horse?

"This is a small boat. Have you ever seen a boat?"

Hearing this, Qingtian immediately nodded and said, "I've seen it, but it wasn't a ship like this. It was a huge, huge, huge ship!"

Qingtian raised her arms and gestured in the air as best she could, but it was impossible to show how big the ship she had seen was.

"Anyway, it's really, really big, taller than a house. My dad said there are so many rooms on that ship, it can accommodate a lot of people and take them to faraway places."

Qingtian tried hard to recall what Boss Ye had said at that time.

"My dad said people can live on those boats for ten days or even half a month."

Ye Xianglei had never seen such a big ship and felt that Qingtian’s description was a bit exaggerated.

However, he didn't think Qingtian was bragging, he just thought she was too young and everything she saw would seem very big.

So he smiled and asked, "Where did you see it?"

"In Tianjin." Qingtian remembered it clearly and was still trying to explain it to Ye Xianglei, "Brother Qin said that some of those large ships came from the south, and some came from other countries.

“Those countries are so far away from us, and some of them take months to drive to.
