Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The song ends and everyone disperses.

Shangguan Qingyue suddenly saw the dagger left on the table, quickly grabbed it, and called Xuanyuan Yan:

"Sir, your dagger has fallen."

Xuanyuan Yan glanced at the dagger and said calmly:

"This dagger is really fancy. It's inconvenient for me to use. I'll give it to you. It will be convenient for cutting meat."

Isn't this... a bit too extravagant?

She wanted to refuse, but Xuanyuan Yan had already walked away, so she had to give up. It was impossible to use it to cut meat. After thinking about it, she finally put the dagger together with the jade pendant.

Shangguan Song suddenly realized that although he brought a lot of gifts when he came, he had never formally given his younger sister anything decent.

Her birthday is just around the corner, so of course I have to make some good preparations.

Shangguan Song and Shangguan Lan suddenly said they were going out to do something, and they would be gone for seven or eight days. Shangguan Qingyue felt it was strange, but since they didn't want to elaborate, she just let them go.

After finishing piano lessons that day, Baili Nanqing excitedly took her daughter to the mountain.

"Yuer, the main framework of our house has been built. Mother remembers that you said you had a lot of ideas to discuss with the craftsmen. It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let's go now."

Baili Nanqing had been in charge of the construction of the house, with Shangguan Yunxin helping out. Shangguan Qingyue had too many things to do and rarely came.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it today.

Although the house has not been built yet, the surrounding area is already planted with flowers and plants. There is even about two acres of land in the backyard, which shows that it has been carefully cared for.

The land is fertile and the soil is fine. No matter what is planted here, it will grow very lush.

From a distance, I saw a woman wearing coarse clothes digging a hole with a shovel. Although her movements were not very skillful, she looked very strong.

Shangguan Qingyue felt more and more familiar with him. In the end, her eyes widened and she looked at Baili Nanqing in astonishment:

"Mother, that person, that person can't be my eldest sister? Why is she doing such rough work?"

"Your eldest sister helped to cultivate this land. She said that you like farming, so she would help you take care of it. She is not good at speaking, but her love for you is no less than that of a mother!"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes became moist when she heard this. The feeling of being loved and spoiled by her family was really heartwarming. She cherished this hard-earned family affection very much.

She put her hands to her mouth as a megaphone and shouted:

"Eldest sister, I like you so much! Hehehe..."

Shangguan Yunxin turned around in surprise, and after seeing who was coming, she smiled brightly and waved in this direction. The golden halo of the setting sun enveloped her whole body, as if she was a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

The three of them found a relatively quiet place and sat on small stools. Baili Nanqing called the old craftsman over.

"Yuer, if you have any ideas for this house, just tell Mr. Wu and let him make it happen."

The old craftsman bowed very respectfully and then said:

"Miss, please tell me what you want, and we will do our best to fulfill it."

"Grandpa Wu, you don't have to be so polite. We are in the countryside, there are not so many rules and etiquette.

Since you said so, I will speak frankly. I wonder how we solve the problem of heating in winter? "

The old craftsman was flattered to be addressed like this by Shangguan Qingyue, and looked at Baili Nanqing somewhat at a loss.

"Don't be alarmed, Yue'er has always been sincere and kind to others. Now that we are in the countryside, let's put those rules aside for now."

Old Wu bowed again and became even more respectful to Shangguan Qingyue. He was a servant of the Baili family. Although the master had always been lenient to others, it was the first time he had seen someone as kind as the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family.

"In reply to the young lady, our usual practice is to build underground dragons. The fire channels in various parts of this house have been paved. I wonder if the young lady has any instructions?"

Shangguan Qingyue had heard about ground dragons, and they were basically the same as the kang in her previous life.

This ground dragon pours dry fuel such as charcoal directly into the pit mouth. After it is ignited, hot air will flow along the fire channel, thereby heating the indoor floor.

The pit below ground is very much like the cellars dug by rural families. The area used to store firewood and charcoal is more than one person high. Once filled up, it can burn for more than a month.

The only drawback is probably that the hot air cannot be recycled.

Shangguan Qingyue was very self-aware of her own abilities. She didn't even need to think about the heating in her previous life. It was impossible to make the radiator and the pipes. She just wanted to come up with some ideas to make it even better.

"I'm going to build fireplaces in the bathroom and the living room."

Old Wu looked ashamed. He had been a craftsman for most of his life, but this was the first time he heard the word "fireplace".

"Forgive my incompetence. I have never heard of this fireplace. However, if you can tell me its specific appearance and function, I may be able to build one."

Baili Nanqing couldn't help but chuckle:

"Yuer, what strange idea have you come up with? Look how troubled Mr. Wu is. He's sweating on his forehead."

"Mother, please don't laugh at me. I am just a pleasure seeker. I use all my little cleverness to figure out how to live comfortably.

Grandpa Wu, don't be nervous. This fireplace, as the name suggests, is a stove built against the wall inside the house. It is almost the same as the stove in the kitchen, except that there is no pot.

I will personally draw a sketch tomorrow and send it to you."

With the blueprint, Mr. Wu was relieved. Since they were all furnaces, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Shangguan Yun was a little puzzled, so he asked:

"Little sister, besides making the house warmer, does this fireplace have any other functions? If not, wouldn't it be more convenient to use a charcoal basin?"

Shangguan Qingyue smiled slyly:

"Sister, you don't know, although they are both used for heating, this fireplace is more interesting.

Just imagine: we put a few rocking chairs next to the fireplace, it's snowing outside and warm inside, and our family sits around the fireplace reading or chatting. Isn't it wonderful! "

Shangguan Yunxin was so fond of her little sister who looked as naive as a cat that she couldn't help but hold her little face in her hands and knead it lovingly.

With such a kind, sensible and quirky sister, Shangguan Yunxin wanted to give her the best things in the world.

"Yuer, your birthday is coming soon. Is there anything you've always wanted? I'll buy it for you!"

Baili Nanqing was not to be outdone and immediately said:

"Mother is worried too. Yue'er, just tell me. I will try to pick it for you even if it's a star in the sky!"

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Mother, are you treating me like a child?

What I want most is that our family can live in harmony and health and have a smooth life. I have no other wishes. So, no matter what the birthday gift is, as long as it is given to me by you, I like it!"

"I can't pick the stars in the sky, but the gems in the world are also beautiful. When it's your birthday, sister Ruoxi, I will give you the most dazzling one."

The mother, daughter and her two daughters looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man walking towards them from a distance, waving a folding fan in his hand.

Shangguan Qingyue recognized the person as soon as she heard the voice and said with great surprise:

"Brother Fu, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Shangguan Yunxin, who was standing aside, blushed for some reason...
