Chapter 280 Buying Gifts for the Song Family
Hearing the voice, Song Yiyuan stood up, took the basin from Lin Qingqing's hand, and nodded his chin at the enamel cup and toothbrush on the steps.
"brush teeth."
He walked down the steps with the basin, took a few steps to the left, and poured all the water under the tree.
Later, she stood beside Lin Qingqing and watched her brush her teeth.
As soon as she finished brushing her teeth, Song Yiyuan asked her for a cup and toothbrush.
"Give it to me."
Taking Lin Qingqing's toothbrush and cup, he walked into the darkness of the yard, and came back empty-handed after a while.
"Is there no light in the yard?" Looking at the pitch-black yard, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"There are a lot of lights in this yard. Grandpa added a few more circuits when he was repairing it. I'll check to see if there's something wrong with the lights in the yard tomorrow. Go to sleep."
Seeing that Lin Qingqing looked a little tired, Song Yiyuan pulled her out of the house.
The two of them lay on the bed, and Lin Qingqing immediately put her arms around Song Yiyuan's waist and rested her head on his chest.
"This silk quilt is so soft." She said in a daze.
"Well, my grandma found silkworm pupae and made them herself, and she only made them for me."
"Your grandma is really great, and she's good to you too."
"She will be your grandmother from now on."
“…”
Lin Qingqing didn't wake up until 7:30 the next day.
Song Yiyuan is not here.
She sat up and stretched, then looked out the window to see the shadows of trees outside and the golden sunlight shining on the leaves. It was another nice day today.
She got out of bed, opened the door and walked into the yard. Her eyes lit up and her sleepiness lessened a little.
This courtyard is so elegantly and exquisitely decorated.
During the renovation, the unique features of the courtyard house, such as the exterior walls, roof and door pillars, were not moved, so that the flavor of the old courtyard house was preserved. From the outside, it looks no different from other courtyard houses.
But there is a different world inside.
The courtyard has been almost completely rebuilt in the style of southern gardens.
The entire ground is paved with large bluestones, and the gaps between the bluestones are dotted with small pebbles.
In the upper left corner of the yard is a small garden with trees such as osmanthus, loquat, gardenia, etc., and orchids, camellias, roses and other flowers planted under the trees. In the middle of the garden is a bluestone floor with a set of stone tables and stone benches on it, hidden in the shade of the trees. There is no need to worry about the scorching sun in summer. It is a good place to cool off and enjoy the flowers while drinking tea.
Across the garden was a rectangular area of cobblestone with a swing on it.
A large garden was built on the side of the courtyard.
The outermost house on the left is connected to a long corridor. At the end of the corridor is a small white marble bridge. Further ahead is a pavilion. Beyond the pavilion is another corridor, which circles around the lake and connects to the house on the left.
In the middle of the courtyard is a large flower bed, in the middle of which stands a bluestone, shaped like an eagle soaring into the sky.
The flower beds are planted with various brightly colored flowers, surrounded by large bluestones.
The most wonderful thing about the yard is that there is a circle of bamboo planted along the wall. The bamboos, which are several meters high, not only look green and draw the wind into the yard, but also block the view from the outside and obstruct the scenery of the courtyard.
The first thing that struck Lin Qingqing when she saw the yard was the green shade of trees and the flowing water under a small bridge.
No wonder Song Yiyuan said the yard was big, it really was.
She came out of the house and changed into an orange skirt, paired with white leather shoes, looking fresh and clean.
When she came out, she saw Song Yiyuan coming out of a room. She smiled sweetly and looked as bright as a little sun.
"I checked the wiring this morning. Two of them were broken by rats. They've been repaired. It won't be dark when you come back to this yard tonight. Come on, I'll take you to wash up."
Five minutes later, Lin Qingqing finished washing her face, wiped her face, and went out with Song Yiyuan, carrying her bag.
Jiang Haixia was already waiting by the car at the entrance of the alley.
"This yard is so well built. You can tell it's been carefully researched. Was it all your grandfather's idea?" Lin Qingqing asked as they walked along the road.
Song Yiyuan smiled and shook his head: "My grandfather was a military general. He didn't understand, so he found a professional to design and build it. Do you like this yard?"
Lin Qingqing nodded: "I like it very much."
"That's good." Song Yiyuan opened the car door with a smile.
There were steamed buns, soy milk and other breakfast items in the back seat of the car, which were bought by Jiang Haixia.
Lin Qingqing picked up the food and praised Jiang Haixia with a smile: "Haixia is becoming more and more considerate now. She even thought of bringing breakfast."
Jiang Haixia smiled in the driver's seat without saying anything. Under Song Yiyuan's guidance, she arrived at the largest grocery store in Kyoto.
Three people got off the car.
I walked into the grocery store. It was 8:30 in the morning and it had just opened, so there were not many people buying things and it was quite quiet.
There are many supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores in Kyoto, and the supply is large, unlike other places where they are crowded with people.
"I'm planning to buy your grandparents some clothes, your dad a pair of shoes, your mom a silk scarf, my three sisters-in-law skirts, my eldest and third brothers pens, and all the children clothes. I'm also going to buy some supplements for your grandparents. What do you think?"
Song Yiyuan listened to what Lin Qingqing said and nodded. The things were worth giving away and not very expensive.
"My passbook is with you, you can use it as you like." He smiled and said to Lin Qingqing lovingly.
"Okay, then I will spend your money to buy gifts for your family, and I won't show any mercy." Lin Qingqing smiled brightly.
She is happy to spend other people's money to do favors.
Jiang Haixia who was following behind: "..." She felt that she didn't need to exist.
The two decided on the things to buy and met in the huge grocery store.
I went to the clothing store first and bought some summer clothes for Grandpa Song and Grandma Song. The refreshing fabric was breathable and comfortable to wear.
I also picked out three fashionable skirts for my three sisters-in-law.
There was a children's store next door, so they bought clothes for the four children and some toys as a supplement for the children during the years when their uncle Song Yiyuan was away from home.
When I got here, I couldn't carry all the stuff.
"Haixia, take your things and put them in the car first. We'll come find you after we finish shopping."
Lin Qingqing gave all the things she had bought earlier to Jiang Haixia.
She took the things, nodded, and left.
The two of them started another round of shopping.
I first picked out some small items that were easy to hold, such as pens and scarves.
Later, she went to the shoe store to buy a pair of leather shoes for her father. Seeing some nice and lightweight elderly shoes, Lin Qingqing bought a pair each for Grandpa Song and Grandma Song.
The last supplements I bought were donkey-hide gelatin, ginseng tablets, and two cans of malted milk.
All done~
