Chapter 198 Dreaming of a pheasant
The five children returned to the shop for lunch, and He Chunxiu specially bought some meat buns for them.
After all, the shop was small, so Yun Chengfu had lunch, rested for a while, and then went back to the academy. Baoya and the others waited for a while until there were no people in the shop, and then followed He Chunxiu and Yun Sanlang to close the shop and go home.
They waited until the end of the day before arriving home. Zhao Zhilan, Wang Cailian and Yun Dalang were discussing the renovation of the east and west wing rooms.
We had agreed beforehand that the east wing would be converted into a mill and the west wing into a granary, so we asked the villagers who had helped build the house to come and help. This saved us trouble and gave us peace of mind.
"Mom, I'll let Dalang talk to them about the work tomorrow." Wang Cailian said.
Zhao Zhilan nodded and said, "Okay, the New Year is only a month away. Let's fix up everything that needs to be fixed and have a happy New Year."
"By the way, didn't you say before that your tofu shop was going to open in town? Have you discussed this with Boss Zhu?"
"We've discussed it," Yun Dalang said. "Boss Zhu wants to arrange for us to open a tofu shop after the New Year. We can sell some tofu to the townspeople on a regular basis, but if we supply in bulk, we'll only supply Ke Laixiang."
This suggestion was very reasonable, and Zhao Zhilan also thought it was feasible, so she said, "Well, then you two can make your own arrangements."
As they were talking, they saw Baoya and the others coming back and greeted them, "Come back! I was discussing the renovation of the east and west wings with the eldest brother and the others, and I've already asked the second brother and the others for their opinions. Chunxiu, do you and Sanlang have any other ideas? Come up with them quickly, because we're going to start tomorrow."
He Chunxiu smiled and waved her hands: "What opinion can I have? Just listen to mother."
She and Sanlang opened this breakfast shop and were very satisfied.
Yun Sanlang also nodded: "I'll listen to my mother."
"Okay." Zhao Zhilan didn't force it.
Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue looked at each other, and the three of them smiled and pulled Zhao Zhilan into the small hall on the first floor to talk.
The three little girls wanted to talk about Grandma Yu. They thought Zhao Zhilan should know better what gift to give to Grandma Yu in return, so they wanted to ask her opinion.
The three of them showed Zhao Zhilan the handkerchief sent by Grandma Yu. Zhao Zhilan was so surprised that her eyes widened. As an old country woman, she had never seen such delicate and beautiful embroidery.
Although she didn't know what kind of embroidery method this was, looking at the clever and beautiful pattern, she knew that if she sold it, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.
"I think this Grandma Yu is really good at embroidery. We can't be careless in returning the gift."
He Chunxiu came in from outside, saw the handkerchief, picked it up and examined it carefully, frowning and saying, "Strange, the stitches look very familiar to me. This must be Suzhou embroidery."
"Suzhou embroidery?"
Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue didn't understand.
"Well, Suzhou embroidery has complex and varied stitches, and the patterns are beautiful. Judging from these handkerchiefs, she must be an experienced hand."
After He Chunxiu finished speaking, she also felt a little strange. She seemed to be very familiar with these things. She could describe the patterns on the handkerchief just by touching them.
But seeing the sparkling eyes of Baoya and the other three maids, she didn't think much of it and asked, "It seems that this Grandma Yu really likes you, giving you such a thoughtful handkerchief. If you want to return the gift, what do you plan to give?"
Baoya and the others really don’t know what gifts they can give to three little kids like them.
My handwriting is not very good, I can’t draw or embroider, so it seems like there is nothing I can give as a gift.
Zhao Zhilan, standing by, reminded him, "Isn't Baoya's cooking good? Why don't you learn a few southern dishes? Next time Grandma Yu comes, you can cook for her."
This is a good idea. Baoya nodded repeatedly: "Grandma is really thoughtful!"
"Grandma, what should I give you?" Yunyue pulled Zhao Zhilan's hand and shook it.
"What can you do?" Zhao Zhilan asked her with a smile.
Yunyue thought for a long time and squeezed out a sentence: "I think I am doing okay at growing flowers."
The pot of pennywort that Rong He gave her was growing well.
"Then grow a pot of flowers and give it to Grandma Yu."
In the end, only Yunhua was left standing quietly by, seemingly thinking about what gift she should give.
When Baoya saw it, she took her hand and said, "Third sister, the bracelet you made is very beautiful. Otherwise, why don't you make a bracelet for Grandma Yu with red rope? Grandma Yu will definitely like it!"
"Hua-ya is very skillful, and the auspicious knots she made are very beautiful." Zhao Zhilan patted Yun-hua's shoulder, "Listen to Bao-ya, and make a beautiful bracelet. It's also a thoughtful gesture."
After hearing this, Yunhua pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, then I will weave the bracelet."
After deciding on the gifts for Grandma Yu, the three children were very happy and ate a few more bowls of rice at dinner.
After running around town for a day, the four children were tired and went back to their rooms to sleep early.
And that night, Baoya, who hadn't dreamed for a long time, dreamed again.
It was still pitch black. Baoya stood in the darkness and heard a sound similar to that of a human, which was quite creepy.
Baoya hugged her arms, frowning tightly: "Stop laughing! Come out!"
"Hahahahahahaha!" The laughter rang out again.
A moment later, a large bird that looked like a crow emerged from the darkness.
The bird had three heads and six tails. It walked up to Baoya and stood still. Then it opened its three sharp beaks and said to Baoya, "Hahahaha!"
Baoya: ...
"Phee, stop laughing, it's too ugly!"
Hehe: ...
It opened and closed its mouth for a moment, then said, "I can't help it, this is how my cry sounds. Even if I'm silent, the first time I open my mouth it makes this kind of laugh."
"Okay." Baoya was a little helpless, but based on her past experience, since she dreamed of the phoenix, there must be a reason.
So he asked, "What's the matter with you entering my dream?"
The quail flapped its huge, dark wings, turned its head, bit off a small piece of meat from its body, and handed it to Baoya, saying, "Take it, you will need it."
Baoya looked at the black thing in her palm, then looked up at Yuyu: "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
The 鵸鵸 shook its three bird heads and said, "It's just a small piece of meat. The wound will heal quickly. We exotic beasts are different from humans. Don't worry."
Baoya looked at its six pairs of sparkling eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "You... lower your head a little."
Hehe wondered what she was going to do, but he still obediently lowered all three heads.
Baoya walked forward, stretched out her little hand, and touched the three bird heads one by one, saying sincerely, "Thank you."
When she first dreamed of these strange beasts, she didn't know what the meaning of their appearance in her dream was. Later, she gradually understood that these strange beasts were here to help her.
Well, thank you still have to say.
Although she couldn't do anything for these strange beasts, she could say thank you.
The bird felt Baoya's soft little hands touching its three heads, and for some reason, it felt a burning sensation on its bird-like face covered with black hair.
"This...this is nothing. It's what I should do."
