Chapter 1258 1258. The scenery along the way
The rain stopped for a while, and soon raindrops fell again. Song Sancheng was just about to go out for a walk with his fishing rod, but before he left the yard, he was forced back to the living room.
Ulan was also afraid that his gauze scarf would get caught in the rain. When he returned to the living room, he saw that Lu Chuan had opened another bag and filled it with several small boxes:
“This is a collection of operas prepared for grandparents and grandpas. The card reader can directly import it into the mobile phone, and you can watch it directly in the photo album.”
For people of Song Youde's generation, the only entertainment activity when they were young was probably listening to opera.
I have also seen movies. Many years ago, at the end of the busy farming season, a projectionist would show movies in the village.
But now they can no longer understand the stories in many movies. Operas can be found by searching online, but they don’t know how to sign up for a membership or how to adjust the definition...
Even if the juniors are around, you can’t just watch an episode and ask, right?
Lu Chuan stayed here for a while last time and chatted with them for a long time, so he simply asked people to prepare these when he came back.
This shocked Ulan: "Why did you buy it for the whole family one time? It won't be like this next time. You can't bring anything with you next time."
Lu Chuan also laughed: "Auntie, how can there be a next time? All my things will be moved here in two days."
Thinking of this, Ulan couldn't help but feel elated again.
Next, there are the electronic bracelets that Lu Chuan just mentioned: "These are not expensive, one or two hundred yuan each. At least you can measure your heart rate, blood oxygen, etc...."
In fact, the seventh cousin of the electronic bracelet may not be able to understand how to use it, and it is a one- to two-hundred-yuan item with very simple functions and is purely dispensable in daily life.
but-
Everyone loves new things, no matter how old you are or decades old, who doesn’t like receiving gifts?
At the very least, Aunt Lianhua’s joy is particularly obvious: “I often wash vegetables, but it’s inconvenient to carry this with me. It happens that my mother-in-law always forgets to charge her mobile phone. This battery is durable, and it can vibrate to remind you when something happens! It’s so useful!”
She was quite embarrassed: "Why are you buying it for me..." She was just an ordinary helper.
In contrast, the seventh cousin was much calmer: "It's quite fashionable..."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist proudly, once, twice... and took a photo with his phone. He turned around to look at Grandma Qi's hand, and followed the way Lu Chuan taught her just now to adjust the dial.
After the fresh energy was finally suppressed, he asked calmly: "Huidi didn't even eat anything good, right? What do you want to eat?"
Lu Chuan thought for a while and made a serious request: "I heard from Tantan that there is a special artemisia steamed bun here in spring. I haven't eaten it before. Can I try it?"
How simple it is!
The seventh cousin immediately responded: "When the rain stops, you and Tantan go up the mountain to collect some mugwort and come back - on the stone **** of Tantanbao, aren't you going to plant some sunflowers, mugwort, wild chrysanthemums there?"
“The mugwort is growing very tender now! When the rain stops, I’ll pick it back. I’ll make sure it’s delicious for you!”
…
Lunch still had to wait for a while, but after the excitement downstairs had passed, Lu Chuan took his luggage upstairs.
There weren’t many things. He could carry a suitcase and a cardboard box upstairs alone.
Opening the room next to Song Tan on the second floor, Aunt Lianhua had just gone upstairs to clean it up. Everything in it was clean and tidy, and even the bedding was obviously newly changed and laid flat.
Lu Chuan simply packed his luggage and when he heard the door next door, he also opened another box.
Different from the previous suitcase that was filled with personal belongings, when this cardboard box was opened, there was only a lot of flowers inside.
These flowers are not the roses, lilies and carnations that are often sold in flower shops. They are large and small, colorful, and come in all shapes and sizes.
Lu Chuan looked through it carefully and then took out the flower scissors and wrapping paper from his luggage.…
Song Tan was scrolling through his cell phone in the room, silently waiting for his own gift.
She thought to herself: Xiao Lu is now bolder! Are you going to give gifts [in person]? Is it the one [in person] she thinks of?
Thoughts were running through my mind, and then I heard a knock on the door after a long time.
Opening the door, she found Lu Chuan standing outside the door with his hands behind his back. She couldn't help but laugh:
“In person?”
Lu Chuan was startled for a moment, then leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and kissed her gently on the lips. Then he looked at Song Tan intently and answered seriously:
"Um."
Song Tan stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck: "Isn't it a bit perfunctory?"
Lu Chuan took out the gift from his back and hugged Song Tan back before she could take a closer look. He held her tightly in his arms, his voice a little aggrieved:
“I put my best effort into it.”
He loosened his arm and handed over the bouquet of flowers he was holding:
“I checked the gifts that girls like on the Internet, but they don’t seem to be what you like.”
“Although they all say that there is no shortage of girlfriends but they have to give them away, I have other ideas - I want to show you the scenery I passed along the way.”
Song Tan was startled for a moment, then stared at the bouquet that Lu Chuan brought over seriously—
He really likes flowers and plants. This is not the first time he has sent them, but the bouquets tied together with newspapers are not the first flowers from the terrace garden delivered by courier.
It’s not the cream sunflowers specially ordered in advance during the Chinese New Year.
Now this black and white newspaper is full of colorful wild flowers. The bouquet has probably just been soaked in water, and now the branches are soft, the flowers are full, and there are still "dewdrops" on them.
Messy, disordered, full of the beauty of freedom, even the branches and leaves are full of vitality.
Light purple lilacs, highly saturated sky blue tall stems of spring, long stems of yellow dandelions that were obviously found after careful selection, pink wild peach branches, creamy yellow magnolias, and a cluster of light green leaves and snow white flowers. Unknown weeds…
Song Tan reached out and took it.
Lu Chuan whispered from the side: "From the Imperial Capital to Yuncheng, there are seven cities close to the service area."
“Every time I pass a service area, I will stop and take a walk, or turn onto the national highway and pick out some different spring flowers from different cities.”
He was slightly tired at the moment. The long journey and the heavy rain in Yuncheng really made it impossible for him to hide his mental fatigue.
Only when he spoke, his eyes were full of concentration.
“I drove for 15 hours to get this handful together.”
He looked at Song Tan slightly nervously: "This... will you like it?"
Only one branch of yellow magnolia cannot cover up the spring scent of this messy wild flower at all. It is not fragrant enough, but it is the most natural fragrance of vegetation.
Song Tan held the bouquet of flowers with both hands, then looked up at Lu Chuan:
"I love so much."
