Chapter 313 Birthday Gift
In order to help Jiang Fubao celebrate his birthday, Jiang Eryong and Sun Pingmei also came back yesterday.
That’s not all.
It just so happened that Jiang Tongmu also had his day off.
So the whole family got together today.
After breakfast, the men went to work in the fields or to the mountains to chop firewood, while the women were busy in the kitchen preparing lunch.
The easiest ones are the children.
Jiang Fubao followed his brothers and sisters and gathered in the yard to play games.
The sounds of their playing could be heard in the kitchen.
Zhang Jinlan stretched her head out to take a look. She originally wanted to ask Tongmu to teach them how to read, but she saw that the children were having so much fun playing.
Plus, today was her granddaughter's birthday, so she didn't open her mouth.
"Forget it, let them play for a while. It's the same for learning in the afternoon. Pingmei, come, take this plate of glutinous rice cakes to the pot and steam them. When they are cooked, cover them with a soup bowl to prevent the heat from escaping. Eat them at noon. Okay, I'll go cut the vegetables."
Zhang Jinlan gave instructions to her second daughter-in-law.
"Yeah, I got it, mom."
Sun Pingmei agreed quickly. She added a piece of firewood to the stove and got up to work.
All morning, smoke was coming out of the small chimney above the Jiang family's kitchen.
Never stopped for a moment.
The fragrance was everywhere. Jiang Fubao, who was playing games in the yard, wrinkled his nose and sniffed the smell.
It seems to have the smell of chicken, duck, and pork ribs.
It looks like today's lunch is quite sumptuous.
Jiang Fubao was a little excited because she didn't expect her family to attach so much importance to her birthday.
There is still a glimmer of hope.
She wasn't the only one who could smell the fragrance.
In the wind.
Many villagers working in the fields could almost smell it.
Everyone had clearly eaten breakfast, but their stomachs were not obedient and kept growling as if they were not full.
In fact, it is just glutinous rice.
"Sister, come and catch me~"
"I'm here~"
"Hahahaha, idiot Ruyi."
"Yohoo, catch me~"
Jiang Fubao's thoughts were soon interrupted by the voices of his older brother and sister. The game they were playing today was "Blind Man's Touch".
The rules are very simple. Choose a blind person and blindfold him. The rest of the people move around the "blind man" and cannot exceed the designated range, otherwise it will be a foul.
The one who was treated as blind was Jiang Ruyi, whose eyes were covered with cloth by Jiang Tongmu.
Not a ray of light could get through.
In an instant, everything went dark before my eyes and I suddenly lost my sense of security.
Jiang Ruyi didn't dare to take big steps, she moved around little by little.
She goes wherever she hears footsteps.
However, after two quarters of an hour, she had searched the entire front yard and still hadn't caught anyone.
She had almost no talent for playing games, and couldn't even touch the edge of a piece of clothing.
Finally, Jiang Tongmu couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to stand in front of her and let her catch him.
Then someone else became the blind man.
Jiang Tongmu was the oldest, so he had the longest legs. It only took him a cup of tea to catch Jiang Fubao.
Just then Jiang Tongjin also came back carrying a bamboo basket of firewood.
Jiang Fubao quickly ran to the door, hugged his eldest brother's legs tightly, and started to act coquettishly.
"Brother, please save me. I don't want to be blind and I can't catch them." Jiang Fubao knew that his legs were short.
No matter how good her ears were, she couldn't catch the person, so she just sought help from outside.
"My sister is a lazy slacker!" Jiang Tongtu opened his hands, put his thumbs on his temples, and placed them on both sides of his head, imitating the pig's behavior and mocking Jiang Fubao.
"Hmph, that's right, lululu, I have a big brother who loves me." Jiang Fubao was not angry at all. She was just a lazy person, so what.
There is a plug-in, you must use it!
Jiang Tongjin, who had always loved her, immediately put down the bamboo basket and went to fight for his sister.
After he was blindfolded, he didn't hesitate for a moment.
Then the action begins.
The speed is extremely fast.
Not only was he quick to react, he could also tell who was next to him based on the sound of his footsteps, so much so that Jiang Fubao hid behind a tree and didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiang Ruyi found that her sister had found a good position, and she also took Jiang Huanyu's hand and hid behind Jiang Fubao.
The three of them were huddled together like caterpillars.
It's not too hot.
Jiang Wangyou was older and not so naive. She took the two Jixiang brothers and hid under the table.
This place is basically impossible to find.
Unless the "blind man" also comes in.
"Hey, brother, why are you always chasing me?" Halfway through the game, Jiang Tongmu noticed something was wrong.
No matter where he goes, Big Brother will find him.
He could only keep changing places to hide.
When he reached the sixth position, he broke down and shouted at the top of his voice.
It would have been better if he hadn't shouted. As soon as he shouted, Jiang Tongjin instantly determined his location.
He rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Tongmu's collar.
As easy as an eagle catching chicks.
"Brother, you, you!" Jiang Tongmu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"What do you mean? I'm avenging Fubao. Fubao, are you happy?" Jiang Tongjin took off the cloth from his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Fubao hiding behind a tree with his head exposed, like a little turtle, he said with a smile.
"Happy!" Jiang Fubao nodded heavily.
I almost lost my hair.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses neighing outside.
There was also the sound of the driver shouting "Come on!"
Before Jiang Fubao could go out to check, two people walked in.
"Happy birthday, little Fubao! Look what good things I brought you." Meng Bujiu was holding a puppy in his arms.
It has a round head, droopy ears, big eyes, and a short mouth, but it is chubby and very cute.
Kong Mingxue standing by was also holding a palm-sized box.
The two of them came from the town together.
When they came out of school yesterday and followed Jiang Tongmu to Jiang's snack shop, they learned that Jiang Fubao was going to celebrate his birthday today.
He came without saying hello.
"Wow, little dog, Brother Bujiu, is this for me?"
Jiang Fubao took the puppy, and his eyes were filled with love.
The little puppy licked the palm of her hand obediently.
It's warm and a little itchy.
Jiang Fubao giggled.
Very happy.
"Yes, it's for Xiao Fubao. Didn't you praise the dog raised by the shop opposite you earlier? I guessed that you like dogs. This dog is lively, just like you. You two will definitely get along well."
It really took a lot of effort for Meng Bujiu to deal with this dog.
He selected nearly thirty before choosing the cutest one.
"Thank you, Brother Bujiu, you're the best~" Jiang Fubao rubbed the puppy with his cheek.
So soft and comfortable.
The puppy smells so good after taking a bath.
Even its claws were clean, and it was obvious that it had never touched the ground.
I guess Meng Bujiu has been holding him in his arms.
"Don't just thank yourself and your brother, you have to thank me too." Kong Mingxue was a little jealous. He quickly opened the box, which contained a pair of gold bracelets with very small hoops. They were obviously specially made for children. They were also well made and engraved with many patterns and auspicious words. Kong Mingxue helped Jiang Fubao put them on personally.
She couldn't refuse.
