Chapter 101: Losing One's Aspirations by Playing with Things
Yun Chen discovered that Huo Gannian really liked children.
Not only did he help Ye Yan's daughter come up with such a nice name "Ye Ling", he also bought toys for Ye Ling in different ways every day.
What about copper coin tigers, tangram puzzles, small dolls, dove carts, bamboo dragonflies, bronze cows and horses, and spinning tops...
Every few days, Huo Gannian would take out a toy that the child liked like a magic trick and ask Yun Chen for his opinion.
Yun Chen was not loved by her father when she was a child, so naturally she had never seen these things. She suddenly realized:
"So, don't children play with nine-rings?"
Huo Gannian smiled and said:
"Check everything for me ten times, carefully, to make sure there are no burrs that could hurt the child. Then have Ye Yan take it back."
She agreed cheerfully, checking the toys and playing with each one a few times.
Basically, she would only give the toy to Ye Yan after she had had enough of it.
Ye Yan had not expected that his daughter was so loved by the master. After a while, the house was almost full of toys, enough for Ye Ling to play with until she got married.
Ye Yan was thinking about whether he should bring Ye Ling over one day to kowtow to Huo Gannian as a token of gratitude.
After a while, the toy's popularity faded, but Huo Gannian suddenly became addicted to toys again:
Today he asked Yun Chen to accompany him to watch a shadow play, and tomorrow he asked Yun Chen to play with rabbit lanterns.
He even made a few kites by himself, picked a sunny and windy day, and took Yunchen to fly kites by the Chuixing Lake.
Ye Yan and others simply thought that their master was tired for a long time and didn't want to read the pile of letters in the study, so he needed to relax.
As for Yun Chen, she had only flown a kite once when she was a child and had long forgotten the brief joy of her childhood, so she couldn't help but get excited while playing.
She held the bamboo shaft and the kite string, and ran and shouted on the lush green grass. Before the kite flew up, she was already as happy as a fool.
Ye Yan, Hua Jue and Buyan stood aside with their arms folded. Hua Jue looked disgusted:
"Achen, don't tell me you don't know how to fly a kite. How can you fly a kite like that?"
Bu Yan shook his head and said:
"I can even do it better with my feet than you. Why are you holding the bamboo shaft so high? Lift the line, my brother! Are you running with the wind or something?"
Finally, the few people couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and the three grown men were forced to join this childish game.
Under the operation of Ye Yan and others, the kite quickly flew high into the sky.
Yun Chen looked happily at the kite floating in the blue sky and white clouds.
Huo Gannian looked at her happily.
"It's so beautiful..." she murmured, and then blurted out a jaw-dropping sentence:
"If we tie a few more kites to the young master's wheelchair, will we no longer have to push him? Will the young master's wheelchair be able to move on its own?"
Huo Gannian clenched his fist, raised it to his mouth and coughed twice, hiding his smile, and said in a feigned anger:
"You dare?!"
Ye Yan shook his head repeatedly, gave Yun Chen a thumbs up and said:
"I see that you not only want to go to heaven yourself, but you also want the young master to go to heaven?"
Buyan looked at Yun Chen with a look that said "you are so awesome". "Ah Chen, I really admire your brain disease. According to your method, we won't have to push the young master anymore. You have practically set up a remote positioning system for the young master! From now on, the Yu family won't have to bother trying to find out where the young master is. They can just watch the kite. Are you a spy from the Yu family?"
"Needless to say, everyone in Kyoto knows whether our master is going to the toilet or sleeping every day. This is a live performance for the whole city for twelve hours!" Hua Jue added sarcastically.
Yun Chen didn't care how those people treated her rudely. She just kept shouting for them to tie Feng Zheng to Huo Gannian's wheelchair and try.
Seeing that the little guy was a little crazy, Ye Yan had to shake his hand and cut the kite string, letting the kite fly farther and farther.
Seeing Yun Chen chasing the kite, Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huo Gan:
"Young Master, how about taking you back to your room to avoid the limelight? Hide for a while?"
"No need." Huo Gannian smiled and waved his hand, and asked a few people to push him to chase Yun Chen.
Yun Chen ran in the direction for a long time and finally found the kite in the orchard on the back mountain.
She jumped onto the fruit tree to get the kite, and noticed that the persimmons on the tree were ripe, so she picked one, rubbed it on her clothes, and took a bite.
Her mouth was full of juice, the flesh was dense and sweet, and she swallowed one in three or two bites. She was reluctant to stop eating until her stomach was full.
Huo Gannian and Ye Yan rushed over, and Ye Yan scolded with a smile:
"You monkey! Get down here now! Watch out, Old Li, who's watching over the garden, will punish you!"
Yun Chen licked his moist and shiny mouth and said with a grin:
"Don't worry, Lao Li walks slowly. By the time he arrives, we'll all be full. Besides, the young master is here, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Huo Gannian looked up at Yun Chen in the tree and said with a smile:
"Pick one for me to taste."
"Okay!" Yun Chen wiped his mouth with his sleeve, picked a ripe one, and threw it under the tree, but it hit Hua Jue's head right next to Huo Gannian.
The red and yellow juice flowed all over Hua Jue's face, and he was so angry that he gestured repeatedly and shouted:
"Come on, come on, come down and talk to me!"
"Hehe..." Yun Chen laughed evilly, picked up two persimmon molds and threw them at Hua Jue. He hit the target every time, and Hua Jue's clothes were covered with juice.
Buyan, who was standing aside, was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. Yun Chen threw a persimmon into his mouth and he almost choked to death.
"Ahem... you bitch... ahem... I've been a guard all my life, and you almost killed me with a persimmon, a bitch, ahem..."
Ye Yan knew that he would be the next one to suffer. He was reluctant to get his newly changed clothes dirty, so he quickly hid behind Huo Gannian and said in a serious tone:
"Achen, stop playing and come down!"
Yun Chen shook his head vigorously, covering his mouth and laughing.
Before Ye Yan could react, he felt a heavy pat on both shoulders.
Hua Jue and Buyan stood on Ye Yan's left and right, pretending to put their arms around his shoulders, but actually smashed the ripe persimmons in their hands on his shoulders.
Looking at the stained clothes, Ye Yan was so angry that he jumped up and picked up a ripe persimmon on the ground and threw it at the two of them.
For a moment, Yun Chen on the tree put all his strength into attacking, and the three people under the tree fought with each other and then attacked Yun Chen.
Huo Gannian only saw persimmons flying back and forth in front of him, juice spraying in the air, and the air was full of the sweet smell of juice.
When Runhe came to look for people and said that the people from the tailor shop had arrived, he saw only a mess everywhere.
The four grown men were playing like crazy monkeys, their bodies covered with persimmon residue, as if they had been fished out of jam.
Runhe couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm really regressing as I grow older, like a child!"
