Chapter 309: Tips for Eating in Class
"What does grandma feed them?" Baoya asked, tilting her little head.
Grandma Yu smiled and counted on her fingers: "Green vegetable leaves, green grass, the leftover snack scraps I ate, the noodles made by Qianqiong, and the fried dough sticks made by your shop."
"Guess what happened?" Grandma Yu asked with great interest, "These two little ones actually love your fried dough sticks the most!"
"They're really delicious," Yunyue exclaimed. "But Grandma, can rabbits eat fried dough sticks?"
"Little rabbits eat everything," Baoya stretched out her little finger and touched the furry rabbit ears through the cage, "but fried dumplings are very greasy, so it's better for Grandma to feed them less."
"Hey," Grandma Yu nodded, "I've never raised a rabbit before, so I don't understand these things."
"But don't worry, I soak them in water until they're soft before feeding them. There's not much oil in them."
"Yeah." Baoya replied.
It can be seen that Grandma Yu really likes these two rabbits, but unlike the rabbits she raises at home, Grandma Yu raises these two little guys as toys.
Seeing Grandma Yu and Yun Yunyue huddled together, chattering and feeding the little rabbits, the yard was indeed a lot more lively and vibrant.
The two of them accompanied Grandma Yu and Yunhua to feed the rabbits for a while and then said goodbye and left. They just came to see how the little rabbits were being raised, as they had to go to the academy later.
"Go ahead and study hard," Grandma Yu said with a smile. "Now my eyesight is better and my hearing is no longer deaf. I can embroider with Yunhua. We're embroidering a cat playing with a fish right now."
Kittens and goldfish are the eternal traditional themes in Suzhou embroidery.
The cat's eyes, ears, nose and other parts are where you can see the best details.
Especially for cat's eye, the embroiderer has to use more than twenty different colors of silk threads and inlay the colors with one or two short stitches.
The fluffy fur on the kitten's body is made by dividing a piece of colorful thread into one-forty-eighth of a piece of thin thread, and then embroidering it layer by layer from light to solid, from light to dark, which is the most challenging part of embroidery skills.
So, as long as you can embroider these two types well, you are almost a master.
When Baoya heard Grandma Yu say that her eyesight and hearing were no longer blurry, she felt relieved, knowing that the Danghu meat that she had asked Yunhua to bring to Grandma Yu had worked.
Then she raised her little face and smiled at Grandma Yu: "Then wait until you finish embroidering, I want to see it!"
"I want to see it too!" Yunyue also came over and raised her little hand.
"Look, look," Grandma Yu patted their heads. "This is Yunhua's first proper embroidery since she started learning Suzhou embroidery. Although I sometimes help out, cats and goldfish are inherently difficult. It's remarkable that she's mastered it so quickly."
"Third sister is so amazing," Baoya gave Yunhua a thumbs up, "Then when you finish embroidering it, we will hang it in the most conspicuous place in the house!"
"Yes, this way anyone who comes to our house can see it at first sight!" Yunyue also said.
Yunhua was immediately embarrassed by the praise, "You two are just good at talking nonsense. Go study quickly. If you're late, Mr. Xiao Qi will punish you by making you copy books again."
"I know. You and grandma study hard. We will come to see you another day!" Baoya held Yunyue's hand and waved to Yunhua, Grandma Yu and Qianqiong.
The two left Grandma Yu's house and headed straight for the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley on Nanjiao Street.
The curtain was half lifted, and Yunyue climbed up nimbly by stepping on the footstool. As soon as Baoya's little feet stepped on the stool, a young man's white and thin hand stretched out from the carriage.
Baoya stretched out her little hand and held it without thinking, and was pulled up by Jingzhen.
The curtain was lowered and the carriage started moving slowly.
"How is Grandma Yu... lately?" Jing Zhen asked casually, looking out the car window.
"Grandma is doing well. Her eyesight and hearing are better now. Aunt Qiong told me that her health has improved a lot recently as well." Baoya said.
"Yeah." Jingzhen nodded secretly.
"Hey," Baoya suddenly felt strange as she looked at the young man's straight and elegant profile. "Brother Xiaojing, why are you suddenly asking about Granny Yu? Do you know Granny Yu?"
"Ahem," Jing Zhen coughed lightly, "I just... saw you guys visiting her so often, and I thought she was not feeling well."
"Oh, she was sick before, but she is much better now." Baoya answered without any doubt.
"Well, that's good."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the academy. Ling An dropped them off and went back to Hongdouxuan shop.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the academy, they heard the sound of reading. The senior brothers from the Qiuzhi Hall were sitting upright, taking advantage of the beautiful early morning time to read.
Perhaps because they were infected by this atmosphere, Baoya and the other two couldn't help but quicken their pace, entered the Enlightenment Hall, and sat down in their seats.
Fang Xian didn't know when he arrived, but he was already sitting in his seat. After a while, Zhang Shun and Lin Huarong also arrived.
At this time, Baoya and Yunyue looked at each other, put the textbooks and pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and then they took out two big meat buns from the book basket in unison.
In order to go to Grandma Yu's house today, they left early on purpose and did not have breakfast. They bought two buns on the way to the academy.
Seeing the two of them eating buns as if no one was around, Jingzhen consciously glanced at the door and kept an eye on them.
Not long after, Jingzhen coughed lightly.
There was still a small half of the buns left for the two of them, and they suddenly panicked. Although Mr. Xiao Qi was usually kind and easy-going, he was very strict in class!
Tap, tap, a series of neat footsteps sounded from the door.
Yunyue hurriedly wrapped the leftover buns in oil paper and was about to throw them into the school basket.
As a result, she was caught by Mr. Xiao Qi, and she was so scared that her face turned pale, and the bun in her mouth was stuck in her throat.
Baoya was sitting upright, and the remaining half of the bun just now disappeared out of thin air?!
Yunyue kept staring at her but couldn't see any clues.
“Ahem!”
Mr. Xiao Qi walked to the front, turned around, coughed seriously, and glanced towards Yunyue.
Yunyue quickly sat down.
"If you didn't have breakfast, you can eat outside before coming in. Don't make the Enlightenment Hall smell like meat buns."
Yunyue lowered her head and said nothing, secretly sticking out her tongue.
Qi Mo glanced at her and said, "Yunyue, since this is your first offense, I'll punish you by copying the "Disciples' Rules" ten times as a warning."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Qi." Yun Yue agreed obediently.
She admitted her mistake in a good manner. Qi Mo nodded in satisfaction, assigned them the text to recite, and went out again.
As soon as he left, Yunyue rushed to Baoya and asked impatiently, "Quick! Baoya, show your fourth sister where you hid the buns?"
It actually escaped Mr. Xiao Qi's eyes!
Baoya sat upright at the desk. When she heard the voice, she raised her round and cute little face, blinked her eyes and looked at Yunyue.
Yunyue also looked at her.
After a moment, she suddenly understood!
He reached out and poked Baoya's bulging cheeks and said, "You are too cunning!"
When she poked her like that, Baoya's little cheeks moved and she began to chew slowly.
