Chapter 143: Poke Gift
A few of them sat under the grape trellis until evening, and then took the three to the threshing ground to play until dark.
The two children felt that they had less time to play, so they cherished it very much. When Shen Nian'an came to pick them up, he looked reluctant to leave.
After Liu Wangxue returned home, she told Gu Xuelan about this. Gu Xuelan liked the two children very much, so she wanted to give them something as a souvenir before they left.
Then her eyes fell on Liu Wangxue's poking music: "How much of the cat and dog hair have you saved?"
Liu Wangxue thought about it for a moment and understood what Gu Xuelan meant: "Mom, do you want to make a Pengpeng and a small porcelain for the two children?"
"Why, you can't bear to let go?" Gu Xuelan asked.
"How is that possible!" Liu Wangxue was very happy and immediately went back to the room to take out the two boxes.
She had this plan in mind, but her skills seemed to be struggling to crawl at the bottom of the mountain. The flat things were almost ready to be presented, but the three-dimensional ones were still not good enough to look at.
"Come on, let's do it together!" Liu Wangxue opened the box. With Gu Xuelan's support, she was not worried at all about the finished product turning out badly.
The shapes were designed by Liu Wangxue. Pengpeng is standing with his head held high and a lotus leaf on his head. Xiaoci is sleeping on a lotus leaf, and Guagua is holding a small wild flower in his mouth.
These three were quite difficult for Liu Wangxue, so they were basically completed by Gu Xuelan.
Liu Wangxue made the lotus leaf and the small flower, and then when she felt like it, she made a colorful little house and fixed it on the base together with the three others.
When she bought the glue materials for embossing, she also bought some small pieces of acrylic boards. She used shadowless glue to stick a square cover box and covered the finished product in it.
The mother and daughter worked together. Because they were in a hurry, the three figures were not very big. Adding other miscellaneous decorations, it took a whole day.
"Mom, it's a work of art! This is definitely a work of art!" Liu Wangxue held the transparent box in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.
"Not bad, presentable." Gu Xuelan gave her evaluation.
"You are so modest." Liu Wangxue put the box away, tied it into a bow with a ribbon, and said with certainty, "Youyou and Jinghe will definitely like it!"
After breakfast the next day, everyone went to Tao Huayu's house to see Shen Nian'an and his family off.
After Tao Huayu knew they were leaving, he specifically asked for the specific time and planned to send them to the airport. The family of four had a lot of luggage, and there were no taxis in town. If they took a minibus, it would take time to wait and it would be very troublesome.
Originally, Shen Nian'an didn't want to trouble everyone, but Tao Huayu said that he also had to go back to the city to do some things, and it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so he didn't want to let others down.
After breakfast, the couple dragged their suitcases and brought their two children here. Both children had their own small suitcases, and in order to exercise their hands-on ability, they were allowed to pack their own luggage.
Youyou rides the box as if it were a bicycle, and Jinghe not only pulls his own but also helps his brother so that he can ride the box. Fortunately, the main roads in the village have been paved with cement, otherwise the wheels of the box would be difficult to move.
When they arrived at Tao Huayu's house, the little one didn't want to get down and continued to let Jinghe push him around on the cement floor in the yard.
Liu Wangxue was holding a cat and a gift, with Pengpeng carrying a parrot, Gu Xuelan and Xu Qingsong also traveling with her. Before the three of them even reached Tao Huayu's door, they could hear Youyou's cheerful laughter in the yard.
When Jinghe was pushing him to run a new lap, he passed by the gate of the courtyard and just saw the arrival of three people and three pets.
"Brother, cat! Cat is here, I want to go down!" Youyou shouted happily.
Jinghe immediately stopped the box, let Youyou get off, and the two brothers ran to the door together.
The older one ran towards Pengpeng, the younger one ran towards Liu Wangxue, and Xiaoci even jumped out of Liu Wangxue's arms and ran towards Youyou in both directions.
"Ah, cat, are you here to see me off?" Youyou hugged Xiaoci, the two of them were so close.
Pengpeng did the same. The whole dog stood up, put its front paws on Jinghe's shoulders, and the man and the dog gave each other a bear hug.
Guagua, which was originally standing on top of Pengpeng, was unexpectedly thrown down. Fortunately, as a bird, it had excellent balance ability. It spread its wings and flew up, then stepped on Pengpeng's head and fell back on Liu Wangxue's shoulder angrily.
Liu Wangxue was amused and reached out to touch it as a way of comforting it.
The adults stood together and chatted. Only after the two children and the two sticky ones had had enough did Liu Wangxue give them the gifts.
"Cat!"
“Bang!”
The two children held the box together, their faces full of surprise. Jing He asked Liu Wangxue: "Sister, did you make this?"
Youyou said with a big smile on her face, "It looks so good!"
The adults nearby also came over to take a look. Tao Huayu took the box by the ribbon and looked at it: "Wow, it's so lifelike. I can tell it's these three at a glance."
Youyou jumped and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the box back, but Tao Huayu lifted it up and then lowered it to tease him.
Tao Huaxin also liked it: "Xu Xu, you have this talent?"
Xu Qingsong applauded: "Writer Liu, you are an all-rounder!"
Gu Qingyue asked: "It will take a lot of effort, right?"
Liu Wangxue quickly stopped everyone from praising her: "No, no, I just helped out. Most of the work was done by my mother." She didn't dare to take all the credit.
"I saw that the two children like Pengpeng and Xiaoci so much, so I thought of making something for them. Now that you are gone, you won't see them for several months, so you must miss them very much." Gu Xuelan said.
Shen Nian'an and Gu Qingyue hurriedly thanked her: "They were still talking about it when they went to sleep last night. One said he missed the cat, and the other couldn't bear to touch it."
Gu Qingyue continued, "That's good now. I can think of my pet when I see it."
Jing He leaned against Shen Nian'an and said to Gu Xuelan, "Thank you, grandma!"
Youyou, who was standing by, was still jumping up and down to reach the box in Tao Huayu's hand. Then he got angry, crossed his arms and stomped his feet. His curly hair trembled as he said in a very serious tone, "Uncle Huayu, you are not cute anymore!"
Tao Huayu held the box in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle is an adult now, and adults have the right to abandon cute things."
"Hmph!" Youyou stomped her feet again, then ran to Gu Qingyue and hugged her legs, "Mom——"
Gu Qingyue patted his head and encouraged him: "Be a man, don't be a coward. Go and negotiate with him again."
Tao's mother slapped Tao Huayu hard and said, "You are so grown up, and you are still messing with a three-year-old child. Give him back quickly."
I watched the Silk Road Season of "Flowers and Youths" yesterday. I will try hard to save money so that I can go there once in my lifetime＼(^▽^＠)ノ
