A ragged cub at the beginning

In the afternoon, Du Jiarui was followed by Du Yun.

As soon as Du Yun arrived, he couldn't help but get closer to Tang Xu, "Ah Xu."

"You're here." Tang Xu smiled. "It's a rare break. Didn't you go meet up with your friends?"

I just want to be with you, Du Yun thought to himself. He looked at her and asked, "Have you encountered any problems in kindergarten?"

"It's going smoothly for now. We've found a place and started making furniture," said Tang Xu.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell me." Du Yun moved a stool and sat near her. "Recently, I have asked other teachers in the academy, and there are many who are of the right age. When the kindergarten opens, I will invite them to bring their children to take a look."

"Okay, thank you." Tang Xu was very surprised. He didn't expect that he took this matter to heart. Scholars have always been highly respected. If the children of the teachers in the academy could enroll in the school, others would probably not be too resistant.

"You don't have to thank me. Are you feeling well?" Du Yun observed her face and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

"I'm fine." Tang Xu replied.

Du Yun smiled and wanted to say something else. Fang Zijun rushed over, and he quickly reached out and held the little guy's forehead. This collision was not a light one. Fang Zijun didn't care, shook his head and shook him off, pestering Tang Xu and begging: "Aunt Xu, can you tell me the story from this morning again?"

"Tell me about it!" Du Jiarui hurried over when he heard this.

July directly moved a small stool over, and Zhao Yunniang pulled Hu Xinting over as well. Outside the yard, a few little heads were poking their heads in to look inside.

These little light bulbs, Tang Xu was helpless, "Go home and move a stool to sit, and start right away."

When the children outside the yard heard this, they cheered and rushed into the house like bandits, grabbing the stools and running away.

"Hey, where are you moving the stool?"

"Listen to the story!"

This kind of conversation happens in most of the children's homes in this area. The adults are also curious about what story is so attractive to the children. But they have too many things to do at home and can't leave.

Tang Xu began to tell the story. She had learned to draw since she was a child, so she could tell stories with vivid images. The children sat quietly and exclaimed from time to time.

Du Yun's eyes were fixed on Tang Xu's face, and he was also absorbed in listening to the story. It was not until he noticed that Tang Xu's voice began to become hoarse that he frowned, stood up and brought her some water, "Take a break, I'll read two poems to the children."

"Okay, then I'll take a break." Tang Xu spoke in the morning and afternoon, and his throat really couldn't take it anymore.

Du Yun faced the children, his voice was clear and gentle, and his poetry was melodious and pleasant to the ears. Tang Xu loved to listen to him, but unfortunately the children did not buy it very much, their minds were still stuck in the story.

But they didn't dare to interrupt, so they quietly started chatting about the story with their friends next to them.

Du Yun paused and looked at Tang Xu in frustration, with a bit of grievance and confusion.

Tang Xu pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and said to Tang Qing, "Xiao Qing, it's cold and the children have been sitting for too long. You should take them to move around."

"It's me again." Tang Qing muttered softly. With so many children, he couldn't move around in the yard. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go outside."

A group of children lined up in the alley according to Tang Qing's instructions.

Tang Qing first took a horse stance and said, "Come and learn from me. Start with your left hand. Punch like this, using your elbow to exert force. Ha!"

"Ha!" The children found it interesting and followed the practice. Their movements were uneven, but their shouts were loud.

Many people heard the noise and opened the door to see. Seeing the group of children practicing boxing honestly, they were amused and relieved. It turned out that people who had read books were different. Look at Tang Xu, a little girl, who easily controlled this group of naughty monkeys.

"Your sister has a lot of strange things in her mind." Tang Yao said to Tang Ling with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It has nothing to do with you." Tang Ling glanced at him, "You are so free, why don't you go to Yaowang Valley after the New Year and find a young doctor."

"Huh? Are you feeling unwell?" Tang Yao immediately asked seriously.

"It's Tang Xu." Tang Ling looked at Tang Xu, "The doctor said last time that she had a hidden injury, I'm worried."

Hearing that it wasn't her, Tang Yao's nervousness dissipated, "Let her go by herself. Doctors in Medicine King Valley don't go out easily."

Tang Ling said lightly: "Find a place to sleep by yourself."

"Threatening me?" Tang Yao smiled instead of getting angry. Little Feather never forced others. If she could do something by herself, she would never trouble others. Being threatened by her, it actually showed that the relationship between them was not ordinary in her heart. Tang Yao grinned, "I'll go."

I don't know why he's so happy all of a sudden, Tang Ling didn't think too much about it since he had achieved his goal. This guy is acting weird all day long, and he still has the nerve to criticize Tang Xu.

"A Xu, I have something and I'd like you to take a look at it for me." Du Yun held the box in his sleeve, seeming a little hesitant.

"What? Let me see." Tang Xu stretched out her hand and was put into a long and thin wooden box. This shape, is it a hairpin? A necklace? A gift for me? She smiled and opened it, and inside was a pen, with a long and thin body and a sharp tip. There was a hollow lotus carved on the top of the pen, which was very special.

Du Yun stared at his beloved and found that her face fell and her smile disappeared. He immediately asked nervously: "Why? Don't you like it?"

Tang Xu shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't like it, but it was different from what she imagined, and she felt a little disappointed. But she usually used pens the most, and this pen was very special, so she naturally liked it. She smiled again, observing the flower, and said, "It looks very beautiful. This pen is very unique. I have never seen this style before."

Du Yun noticed that she seemed a little disappointed, and for some reason he was a little anxious. "I made it myself. It's my first time. If you don't like it, I'll make it again. But considering that you have small hands, I'll make the pen as thin and light as possible so that it will be easier for you to use. I don't know if you can get used to it."

Tang Yao looked at this scene and chuckled. Tang Ling glanced at him, not understanding what he was laughing at.

Tang Xu raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You made it yourself? The flower is carved very well? Can you make a hollow one? That's amazing! It's really light, I'll get used to it after a while." She looked down at the pen again and felt that it was becoming more and more beautiful, and she liked it more and more.

"As long as you like it." Du Yun breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Just now, when you first saw it, you seemed unhappy? Can you tell me why?"

This question made Tang Xu embarrassed, "I, I thought you gave me a hairpin."

Du Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt annoyed, "Blame me, blame me! I'll go buy it now!"

"Hey!" Tang Xu didn't catch him and he ran away. "Aiya!" Tang Xu stamped his feet. Running so fast! The dog is chasing you!

She hasn't used the pair of hairpins she bought last time, mainly because she doesn't know how to do it. She'll have to learn from Xiao Tao and Qi Qing next time. She wears a high ponytail every day, and she's a little worried about her hairline.

Oh, I haven't seen the new clothes that were delivered yesterday. She went into the house and brought out a large bundle, and dumped it on the table in the living room. Tang Ling frowned and leaned back, looking at the cloth bag in confusion. What was it?

"Look! New clothes!" Tang Xu opened the bundle and made a big flower with his hands. Unfortunately, Tang Ling and Tang Yao were not supportive. She pouted and picked out the children's clothes first. There were only four sets for adults, two of which were green, one was plum red, and one was pink. "This green one should be ours. Let me see, this one is longer. This one is my sister's, and this one is mine. Sister Xiaotao! Sister Xiaotao, come here!"

"Coming, coming." Yu Xiaotao responded.

This was the first time Tang Ling had seen clothes of this color, and she unfolded them curiously. The top was a short green jacket with a few plum blossoms embroidered on it. The sleeves were loose and tightened at the wrists. The bottom was a horse-faced skirt, the same color, but lighter than the top, like a new branch that had just sprouted in spring.

Tang Xu's clothes are just the opposite: the top is light in color and the skirt is dark in color. The peach blossoms embroidered on the clothes are somewhat similar to plum blossoms, but the details are slightly different.

It can be seen that Aunt Wang really put her heart into her work and did not do it half-heartedly just because she was in a hurry to finish the work.

Yu Xiaotao wiped her hands on her apron as she walked, "What's wrong, Xiaoxu? Wow, so many clothes? Are they for the New Year's Day?"

"Yes, this set is yours!" Tang Xu handed Mei Hong's set over, "See if you like it! This set should be Yun Niang's. This set is so small, it must be An An's."

"How can I do this? I made three sets. This is not good. I have so much money. I will just give one set to An'an. I will give the money to Yunniang and you." Yu Xiaotao was at a loss. Why didn't she like it? Who doesn't like new clothes? But she has received enough favors. "My eldest brother left me some money, and I made new clothes for Yunniang and An'an."

"You should have one too. What you did is yours, and what I give you is different. Don't mention money. Keep it quickly and give Yunniang a surprise." Tang Xu pushed it to her.

"Thank you." Yu Xiaotao couldn't refuse, and she remembered Tang Xu's kindness in her heart. It's not an exaggeration to say that she treated Yunniang like her own daughter. Yu Xiaotao always felt guilty towards Yunniang, especially when she gave birth to An'an, but fortunately she got through it. There were still people who were so kind to her, which made her cheerful again. She thanked the Tang family from the bottom of her heart and was happy for Yunniang.

"Would you like to try it on? Go to my room and try it on." Tang Xu asked her, then turned to Tang Ling, "Sister, would you like to try it on? You have to wear it on New Year's Day."

"No need, the clothes made by Aunt Wang will definitely fit me." Yu Xiaotao touched the clothes cherishingly, feeling happy.

Tang Ling shook his head and refused, "It's appropriate."

"Poor thing, I'm the only one who doesn't have it." Tang Yao looked for a while and suddenly spoke out.

Tang Xu glanced at him and pulled out a pink set from the bottom. He hadn't thought of Tang Yao at first, but then he did. He felt that he was the only one without new clothes, so he asked Aunt Wang to add more. That's why they were delivered so late. She specifically requested pink. Tang Yao had red lips and white teeth. When he didn't talk, he looked like a young boy. This color suited him very well. "Here, it's yours."

Tang Yao frowned, took the clothes, and said hesitantly: "This color is very bright."

Tang Xu pursed her lips and cleared her throat to suppress her smile, and encouraged: "This color suits you very well. Believe me, go and try it, it is guaranteed to be eye-catching." After saying that, she glanced at Tang Ling suggestively.

Tang Ling looked at the pink color, then looked at Tang Yao, and looked back and forth several times, obviously curious.

Tang Yao was delighted and said he wanted to give it a try, so he went to Tang Ling's room.

Tang Xu frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do we have to go to my sister's room to change clothes? Shouldn't we go to Tang Qing's room?" As she spoke, she looked at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling lowered her head and rummaged through her clothes, pretending not to hear.

Tang Xu looked at Yu Xiaotao again, and Yu Xiaotao shook her head.

After a while, Tang Yao came out in new clothes, which really made people's eyes shine. He was always smiling, and his face was tender and white, with a pink color, what a shining young man.

He is just too immature, like a child who has not grown up.

Tang Ling looked him up and down, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

"???" Tang Yao was surprised: "Aren't we the same age?"

Yu Xiaotao was afraid that she would laugh, so she packed her clothes and went back to the kitchen to work.

Tang Xu praised sincerely: "This color really suits you, it looks good." Then he took his and July's clothes back to the room and put them away. He turned around and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Not good? Why do you ask?" Tang Yao looked down at himself. Apart from being a little brighter, there was nothing strange about him.

"Not bad, beautiful and suitable." Tang Ling pushed him away and went back to the room.

Tang Yao was the only one left in the living room. He was confused and knocked on Tang Ling's door again. "No, I'll change it back. I won't wear it anymore."

"It looks good. Wear this on your first day of the new year." Tang Ling threw the clothes he had changed into to him and closed the door.

Tang Yao couldn’t see it himself and didn’t know what was wrong, so he went to change his clothes back.

Du Yun came back, holding the box in his hand. "Ah Xu, I'm back, see if you like it."

Tang Xu came out, "So soon? Did you really buy it?"

"Well, there are not many styles in town. I'll buy one for you next time I go back to the county." Du Yun opened the box and showed it to her.

It is a peach blossom hairpin, with smooth lines on the body and five lifelike pink velvet flowers on the head. It will tremble slightly when you shake it, as if you can smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

"So beautiful!" Tang Xu couldn't let go of the peach blossoms, and then said disappointedly: "It's a pity that I don't know how to wear a hairpin."

Du Yun didn't expect that this was the reason why she didn't wear a hairpin. He just liked her hair tied up simply. He clenched his fist lightly, his throat a little tight, "I, I can, I can help you put it on?"

"Great! You can do this too." Tang Xu pulled him into the room, sat down and gave him a comb.

Du Yun was holding the comb, combing his beloved's hair for the first time, and he was very nervous. He was afraid of hurting her, and also afraid that his clumsy hands would make the hair look bad, and his palms were sweating.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tang Xu took down his hair, and his black hair fell down like a waterfall.

Du Yun wiped the sweat off his palms and slowly reached out to hold the three thousand strands of black hair. The hair was black, shiny and silky, and thinner than his own. He calmed himself and slowly combed it neatly with a comb. He took half of it and rolled it up, then fixed it with a hairpin. "Alright."

Tang Xu turned around, the peach blossoms swayed gently, and her face was flushed, "Does it look good?"

Du Yun didn't look at the hairpin, but stared at her face, unable to move his eyes away. "Pretty, but you are far better than peach blossoms."

Tang Xu lowered his head because of his gaze, "Tell me, what are you talking about."

Du Yun reached out his hand, gently lifted her face and moved closer.

Tang Xu didn't dare to move, staring at him without blinking. What? Here it comes! First kiss? She screamed wildly in her mind, making her feel dizzy. A familiar breath rushed over her, and her forehead was pressed against the warmth that didn't belong to her. Cherish and restrain, without lust, but let her feel the other person's love.

Du Yun felt as if he had been bewitched just now. When he came to his senses, his face flushed red, and he stammered, at a loss as to what to say to explain his offense.

Tang Xu was already very shy, but she didn't expect Du Yun to be so shy that he almost melted. She burst out laughing and hooked her hands around Du Yun's neck, "What is this? Do you know what kissing is?"

After she finished speaking, she tiptoed over.

Du Yun was stunned. He only felt a light fragrance falling on the corner of his mouth, and half of his face felt numb.

Tang Xu only dared to do this, covering his face and turning his back.
