After the meal was ready this time, Zhou Haoran still took a small earthen jar with some rabbit meat and sent it to the mud house.

Tan Zhengping saw the nonchalant looks in other people's eyes when they saw Zhou Haoran delivering something, and it only took him a few seconds to understand.

If he hadn't delivered food frequently, would Lao Zhou be as skilled as he is now?!

That fish meal last time...

This question stuck in his heart like a fishbone, making him still absent-minded even after he started eating.

It happened that none of the Shen family, including Zhou Haoran who had just joined the family, treated Tan Zhengping as a guest. They didn't talk much during the meal, and they didn't even show humility to him.

So by the time everyone had eaten about the same, only the chicken butts were left, the rabbits were okay, and there were still some unknown parts of meat.

"You are going too far!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Uncle Zhengping, you eat so slowly~"

...

After dinner, everyone held a small bench in one hand and a cattail leaf fan in the other, sitting in the courtyard talking.

Tan Zhengping helped Wang Xinyu put away the dishes and chopsticks, and when he walked out of the kitchen door, he saw Zhou Haoran beside Zhang Chunnuan, Shen Qiyi on his lap, pointing to the stars on the black curtain and talking.

Shen August and her little girl were sitting next to Zhang Chunnuan, blinking their big curious eyes and moving their heads in the direction pointed by Zhou Haoran.

His footsteps stopped at the door of the kitchen, blocking Wang Xinyu's path out.

"Ahem," Wang Xinyu coughed slightly, and then asked when the other party turned to look at him, "Can you let me go first?"

"Ah? Oh!" Tan Zhengping reacted and moved wrongly. Halfway through the move, he remembered, paused, and reached into his trouser pocket, "Wait a minute, I brought you... um... a gift ,Eh? Where did you put it?"

He rummaged through all the pockets on his body and finally took out a pair of butterfly hairpins clamped on a piece of paper.

By the firelight in the kitchen, Wang Xinyu could clearly see the color of the butterfly wings on the hairpin. The colors were bright and bold, which was completely different from the low-key attire of people today.

Anyway, it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

Seeing that Wang Xinyu didn't take it, but stared at the palm of his hand without blinking, Tan Zhengping took a butterfly hairpin and put it in her hair, "Hey, hey, don't move!"

Wang Xinyu stood stiffly on the spot, really not daring to move.

"I saw this pair of hairpins when I was sending my dad to the city to take the train. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to buy it for you. I didn't think about how to give it to you before, but now... I just wish you graduated from elementary school. A gift.”

While talking, Tan Zhengping looked at his masterpiece for a while and found that the hairpins on both sides were a little asymmetrical. He adjusted it twice more before he was satisfied. "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go back. I have to study hard and make progress every day!" "

After saying that, he started up again. He first went to say goodbye to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Shen, then went to find Zhou Haoran and asked him to make delicious food at home next time. He had to ask for his strong request. Finally, he touched the three The face of a little kid, under the accusation of twins, ran out of the door laughing.

The third son wanted to go to the kitchen to see if the bath water was boiled. When he saw Wang Xinyu standing at the door of the kitchen, looking in the direction of the courtyard door, he was a little puzzled, "Xiao Yuer, you..."

As soon as he started talking, his sharp eyes saw the hairpin on Wang Xinyu's head, and he was surprised: "Xiao Yu'er, where did you get such a beautiful hairpin!"

The voice of the mistress was definitely loud, not to mention that the people who were enjoying the cool air and watching the stars were not sitting very far away, so they all looked over.

Zhang Chunnuan had just focused all her attention on the little children, and did not notice that Tan Zhengping spoke to Wang Xinyu and gave her a pair of hairpins that could be called "luxury goods" at this time.

Now she heard the third son's exclamation, and it was time to give the little ones a bath, so she got up and walked to the kitchen.

When passing by Wang Xinyu, Zhang Chunnuan's eyes stayed on her hair for a few seconds before entering the kitchen.

"Why are you shouting so loudly?!" Wang Xinyu rolled his eyes at the mistress. Seeing that Zhang Chunnuan had entered the kitchen, he ran away quickly. Looking at the direction, he should have gone back to the room.

The mistress stood there, confused, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did I praise her wrongly when I complimented her on her beauty? I thought I saw her blushing just now, well... I must have seen it wrong."

Zhang Chunnuan listened intently to what was going on outside. With his full attention, he also heard the mistress's soliloquy.

"Didn't you say that you should bring water for the children to bathe?"

Zhou Haoran walked into the kitchen and saw Zhang Chunnuan, who had previously said that he would mix water with the twins to bathe, standing blankly with interest in his eyes.

Seeing him coming in, Zhang Chunnuan excitedly held his hand and whispered: "I just saw the hairpin Xiao Yu'er wore on her head. It was in the shape of a butterfly. It seemed to be made of iron. It was dark blue overall and dotted with pink dots.

, I don’t know where it came from!”

Her little Yu'er has always been a cold and indifferent girl. If I hadn't mentioned it before, she might have still had short hair.

I have always worn whatever clothes were prepared at home. Whether it was the imitation military uniforms that were popular in the past or the recent patchwork clothes with shorter sleeves, they all came to me.

Zhang Chunnuan always felt that girls were young and had not yet thought about dressing up.

Now that I see the never-before-seen hairpins adorning her hair, I can’t help but think too much about it.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. When Zhengping and I sent Uncle Tan to the city to take the train, we saw it in a department store. He said it was a new thing from Shanghai. In addition to butterfly-shaped ones, there were also osmanthus flowers.

Peonies, dragonflies, fan styles.”

Zhou Haoran explained: "I looked at the novelty and originally wanted to bring you a pair, but then I thought you said you wanted to keep a low profile, so I didn't buy it..."

At this point, when he saw the fire of gossip burning in Zhang Chunnuan's eyes, he thought: "Did Zhengping buy it behind my back?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that it was impossible, but he didn't want to see Zhang Chunnuan nodding as soon as he finished speaking.

"Maybe it's a graduation gift prepared by Zhengping for Xiao Yu'er. It's normal for an uncle to give a graduation gift to his niece..." Zhou Haoran was unsure, so he didn't have the confidence to speak.

Zhang Chunnuan retorted: "Then why does the mistress not have any gifts? Besides, when Uncle Tan left, little Yu'er hadn't even taken her final exam yet! Can Zhengping predict in advance whether our little Yu'er will graduate successfully?"

She felt that Tan Zhengping had been premeditated for a long time!

Zhou Haoran looked at Zhang Chunnuan's expression carefully, and after a few minutes he asked tentatively: "Why do I feel that you seem to be very happy...Don't you think they are not suitable at all?"
