Chapter 392 Little Nuobao turns into a big parrot
In the following days, the whole village was busy celebrating the New Year. Every time the adults went out, they were all smiling.
The children were also out playing all day because the school was suspended.
Even if it was windy and snowy sometimes, it could not wear away their enthusiasm for the playground.
As for Xiao Yi, the kid was detained in the room by the old housekeeper all day, reciting books and practicing calligraphy.
Every time he was tired to the point of rolling his eyes, the old housekeeper refused to make concessions, and only knew to make a pot of chrysanthemum and wolfberry, and then talk about the Han Mansion.
Fortunately, with the imperial teacher as a backer, Little Nuobao was not afraid of the old housekeeper and often went to see Xiao Yi.
Sometimes Little Nuobao would hide a small bag of snacks for Xiao Yi to eat secretly, which was a rare pastime for him.
On this day, Han Rouran got a very rare grey-headed parrot in the capital, and thinking of Xiao Yi, she sent someone to Yuncheng.
The parrot was trained by Han Rouran for two days, and as soon as it opened its mouth, it could sing elegant poems and songs.
Xiao Yi's head was buzzing, and he glanced at the cage with disgust in his eyes.
"Young master, our lady knows that you like sparrows, so she got this one for you. This is her intention for you." The old housekeeper looked attentive and took the opportunity to say something to match them up.
Xiao Yi sneered coldly, "The housekeeper is indeed a good servant, just like your master, the two eyes grow in the eye sockets, just for venting!"
What he likes is the little sparrow, the fat and free bird.
Instead of a parrot that has been raised in a golden cage and trained to only be able to mimic speech since birth.
This Han family master and servant are a pair of idiots who can't even tell the difference between a sparrow and a parrot. They are really trying to flatter a horse but end up hitting a donkey's hoof.
The old housekeeper looked embarrassed and could only shut his mouth.
Xiao Yi glanced at him, knowing that he could only write letters to complain, so he didn't reveal too much, but just raised his hand to slap him.
"Okay, stop standing here like a stake, get out quickly, I want to read."
Little Nuobao was sitting on the couch inside, slowly chewing a peach cake in his mouth, swinging his two short legs.
After the housekeeper left, she walked to the cage, "Wow, what a beautiful big parrot, don't you like it, Beauty Guoguo?"
"It just keeps talking nonsense, who would like it?" Xiao Yi rubbed his temples.
Xiao Nuobao rubbed his head, "If you don't want it, I'll take it away?"
Xiao Yi nodded in a muffled voice.
"Take it if you like it."
"Hehe, the nest is leaking~" Xiao Nuobao laughed and danced.
In the afterglow, a little fat girl in pink flowered cotton pants ran home happily with a bird cage bigger than her upper body.
Xiao Yi was amused by her naive appearance.
"Tsk, little fool, why are you running so fast? Are you afraid that I will regret it?"
The old housekeeper made another cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry, and was stunned when she came over.
What did the young master see?
I have served him for so long, but I have never seen him laugh so happily.
When Xiao Nuobao was about to run out of the two miles, Xiao Yi remembered something and slapped his forehead in surprise.
"Oh no, Shorty is so greedy, she won't want to take the parrot back to stew it!"
Xiao Yi was worried for two days, but fortunately, Xiao Nuobao still had a bottom line.
After returning home, she neither plucked the parrot's feathers and boiled water, nor stewed or fried it, but babbled and "taught" it secretly for a few days.
When Xiao Yi saw the parrot again, it had not only taken after its new owner and grown a lot of weight, but it was also full of chatter.
The branches on the cage were all crushed by it. It opened
its mouth and kept saying -
"Stupid, stupid daddy!"
"Give me gold, give me gold!"
"Chun Ge'er, don't gnaw my feet~"
"The sword in the hand of the loving mother, chop the wandering son!" The big parrot made a lot of noises, and opened its mouth to amuse everyone.
Looking at this big bird after the big change, there was no trace of Han Rouran's training. Xiao Yi couldn't help but snort and chuckled. Suddenly, he liked this parrot a little.
Han Rouran, who was far away in the capital, certainly couldn't imagine that the gift she had carefully selected had become Xiao Nuobao's favorite.
Wherever the little guy goes now, the gray parrot will fly with her.
Sometimes standing on her shoulders, the master and servant opened their mouths at the same time, and when they saw Mu Yihan, they kept shouting "Daddy".
After a good snow, New Year's Eve finally arrived.
The Jiang family gathered together, intending to stay up all night, but in the second half of the night, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
At dawn in the morning, the first day of the new year officially kicked off with the sound of firecrackers all over the village.
Xiao Nuobao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. As soon as she opened her eyes, she didn't even bother to stretch her lazy waist, and hurriedly arched her little fleshy hands to wish the adults in the family a happy new year.
"Happy New Year, Daddy!"
"Happy New Year, Mom~"
Xiao Nuobao named a series of people, her lips were numb from talking, and finally she could stretch out her little hand and wait to collect the New Year's money!
After paying New Year's greetings, the little Nuobao twisted her soft waist again, like a moving rice cake strip, and bent over for Mu Yihan alone.
Then she hurriedly threw herself into her father's arms and turned over his palm.
Seeing that Mu Yihan's hands were empty and he didn't have any money or banknotes prepared, the little girl lowered her head in disappointment, her mouth pouting so much that a bottle of oil could be hung on it.
"Daddy, dig the door~"
"Daddy, dig the door~" The gray-headed parrot also shouted.
The whole family narrowed their eyes and couldn't stop laughing after hearing it.
No wonder he got up so early to pay New Year's greetings so diligently, it turned out that he was mainly waiting for the money from the national teacher.
Mu Yihan teased her for a while, and finally took out a bag of golden peanuts and scratched her little nose.
"Yours is missing, use your fingers and toes, count them quickly."
Little Nuobao's eyes sparkled, and she was so beautiful that she smiled and ran away with the gold in her arms.
Feng didn't care about laughing and laughing. After the whole family put on new clothes, she took the children to visit various places in the village to pay New Year's greetings.
At this moment, the village was full of red firecracker paper.
The villagers bowed to each other, and no matter who they saw, they all said "Happy New Year".
Mu Yihan brought joy to the village, took out a bag of silver coins, and asked Feng to give them to the children in the village.
Every underage boy and girl in the village got a share, and they were so happy that they were spinning around like crazy rabbits.
Feng stood at the door with a smile on her face, and just said that it was a gift from a nobleman.
The girls gathered together with smiles, discussing how to use the silver to buy some head flowers, handkerchiefs and bell bracelets.
The boys thought about playing Cuju and small fireworks.
Only the widow Gu's son was sensible. After getting the silver, he wanted to give it to his aunt as a wedding gift.
Although the children wanted to buy a lot, they couldn't go into the city by themselves. They had money but couldn't spend it, so they were inevitably anxious.
Little Fengmiao started to think, clapped his hands and called everyone.
"Hey, my eldest brother will go to the city tomorrow. What do you want to buy? I can buy it for you."
"But I have to charge you two cents for each item!" Fengmiao laughed with his teeth showing.
The adults gathered together, thinking about teaching the children to learn to be frugal.
But when they heard that this little profiteer was going to make a fortune, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"It's a pity that this child doesn't do business in the future." Old Zhang patted his forehead.
"He can find business opportunities everywhere. I wish my kid could be so smart." Yang Tianmei said with a smile.
Everyone was happy, but at this moment, a cry came from the widow Gu's house!
