This time, Yi Qingqing was the one being celebrated as the birthday girl. In a few days, it would be Yun Guyuan’s birthday, and she was involved in the planning process again.
Section 136
It's basically the same route.
Everyone pooled their money to buy the things. During the holiday last month, except for Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan, who had birthdays this month, everyone else chipped in their money and prepared the things. Then two days before Yi Qingqing's birthday, the plan was revealed to Yun Guyuan, and he joined in.
So Yun Guyuan didn’t know that everything was prepared in double portions.
This time, the words on the red paper were written by Yi Qingqing.
She had been learning hard-pen calligraphy before and had not yet learned soft-pen calligraphy, so this time she used a fountain pen to trace the edges and wrote hollow characters, which also looked very beautiful.
The paper was exactly the same as the one she had before, except for the name on it being changed.
The place prepared for the celebration was in Yi Qingqing's house.
They discussed it in advance, and from then on, the template for their birthdays was like this, which was both convenient and interesting.
However, on the morning of July 15th, Yi Qingqing followed the same recipe and made a bowl of longevity noodles for Yun Guyuan.
She had been cooking for a long time on that side. When it was done, she heard the sound of a fire burning across the street and went to knock on the door with her bowl in hand.
"Ayuan, happy birthday. Eat this bowl of longevity noodles without biting it off in one go. I guarantee you will have a safe and smooth year ahead." Yi Qingqing's face was full of anticipation.
She also wanted to see A Yuan slurping the noodles to avenge herself for being laughed at a few days ago.
Yun Guyuan's eyes were full of pampering and helplessness, and her thoughts were written on her face.
"It's cold outside, come in." The portion of noodles is quite large and it will take a while to eat. You'd better not get cold just standing at the door.
Yi Qingqing followed in and suddenly felt that she had lost.
She didn't think about these things when he came to deliver noodles that day.
Forget it, she just looked at it and didn’t laugh out loud.
But as I watched, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why can he eat so slowly? Why are the noodles so obedient in his mouth?
He used chopsticks to lift the noodles a little higher, then ate them bit by bit. He didn't bite them off, nor did he pout and slurp the noodles like he did that day.
Yi Qingqing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
I'm so angry. It seems like she was so stupid that day.
Being stared at by her without blinking, Yun Guyuan was actually not as calm as he appeared to be.
However, the relatively dim room in the morning concealed the uneasiness in his lowered eyes and his red ears.
He finished the bowl of noodles bit by bit, and Yi Qingqing just admired his beautiful eating style.
When he finished eating, she took out a pair of cloth shoes wrapped in paper and tucked under her armpits: "Birthday present, try them on and see if they fit?"
As soon as she said the words "birthday present", she thought of the words at the bottom of the wooden box, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The most regrettable thing for Yun Guyuan after the weather turned warmer was that he could no longer wear any of the clothes or shoes that Yi Qingqing had made for him.
Even if he couldn't wear it, he would wash it and put it on the top shelf of his suitcase and look at it every day.
This pair of shoes is obviously for this season. They are neither too big nor too small, just right.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Yun Guyuan said.
Yi Qingqing watched him try on the shoes, then looked around inside the shoes, not knowing what he was looking for. She coughed and said, "I'll go back first!"
When I left, I left the paper wrapping my shoes there without leaving any trace.
Yun Guyuan actually expected Yi Qingqing to leave some special little mark in her shoes, but it seemed that there was no such mark. When he put away the newspaper wrapped around the shoes on the kang, he suddenly found a folded piece of white paper underneath.
His heart was pounding as he unfolded the paper, revealing a painting.
The painting shows two figures running together in the rain, so familiar.
I can no longer hide the smile on my face. This painting is so beautiful!
His Qingqing can also draw. What does it look like when she depicts this scene? It must be very beautiful!
…
Yi Qingqing returned to the house, feeling very proud.
That painting was the one she was most satisfied with recently. She originally wanted to keep it for herself, but the words she had engraved before aroused her competitive spirit, so she reluctantly gave it up.
Just give it to him and draw another one for himself later.
This painting will definitely surprise him, right? Hehe!
Yi Qingqing ate breakfast in a good mood and went to the alley to wait for others to go to work together.
His eyes kept glancing towards Yun Guyuan's door.
Look, he hasn’t been out for half a day, he must be admiring his own masterpiece!
Li Mengxue bumped her shoulder, and with excitement in her eyes, she leaned over to her ear and whispered, "What did you give him?"
"I won't tell you!" Yi Qingqing refused to answer.
"You are so stingy! I saw it this time. You were holding a bowl and there was a long thing wrapped in newspaper under your arm. What was it?" Li Mengxue said that she didn't see it last time, but this time she was really paying attention and got the first-hand information.
Before Yi Qingqing could answer, Yun Guyuan finally opened the door and came out. He was the last one to come out today.
Li Mengxue looked him up and down, and finally her eyes fell on his shoes. She immediately noticed something different: "Hey, new shoes!"
Yi Qingqing: "..."
Her tone is so obscene!
"Go to work, go to work!" Yi Qingqing tried to change the subject.
In Li Mengxue's opinion, Yi Qingqing was trying to cover up the truth.
He had an expression that said, "I understand, I've got it," and he was so happy.
Yi Qingqing is so virtuous, aren't she? Shoes, did you make them yourself? Hehe, too sweet!
Yi Qingqing couldn't bear to watch Li Mengxue's silly laughter, and she was eager to go to work, "Let's go!"
…
In the morning, while working in the fields, Gao Beizhu frequently looked at Yun Guyuan.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother Yun today. He looked down at his shoes many times.
Gao Beizhu couldn't help but move closer to take a look: "Hey, Brother Yun, new shoes! They look really cool!"
It turned out that his brother Yun also had new shoes and was taking care not to get them dirty.
After working in the field for quite some time, the uppers of his shoes were still clean. I don't know how much effort he put into them. He looked like a little doll, which was quite interesting.
"Yeah," Yun Guyuan nodded happily, and added in a low voice: "Qingqing did it."
He could only show off to him secretly, and when he said this, he felt so refreshed.
Gao Beizhu: “…”
For some reason, he felt full even though he hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Suddenly I felt a little lonely and wanted to go on a blind date.
But it’s so hard to find someone like Sister Yi.
He suspected that after seeing his brother Yun and sister Yi for so long, it would be easier for him to have trouble finding a partner.
These two people... never mind, he should just focus on his work!
