Farmhouse Green Plum

At the three-way intersection where Xinghua Village and Wutong Village meet, Lai Di and Xiao Xiang kept looking in the direction of Wutong Village, looking as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Why haven't you come back yet? Have you been discovered?

Song Yuan, who was playing, clapped his hands, stood up, and asked them, "Sister Lai Di, Sister Xiao Xiang, why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

Lai Di and the other girl were even more troubled. They had just deceived Song Yuan, saying that the sisters Da Xia and Er Xia had encountered some uncertain herbs and asked Daya to come over to help identify them.

However, half a day has already passed, and no matter how difficult the herb is, it would not take so long to identify it.

Xiaoxiang frowned, and first murmured in confusion, just like him, "Yeah, why haven't you come back yet?"

Then he speculated, "Could it be that Sister Er Ni and the others have also encountered some uncertain herbs?"

With her hint, Lai Di also had an idea and continued, "It may be that they have a lot of herbs over there, and they walked away while picking them."

Song Yuan became excited: "Then let's go over and pick them!"

Xiaoxiang glared at Lai Di secretly and said, "It's just a possibility, not necessarily true."

Lai Di turned her head guiltily and caught a glimpse of a green beetle lying on a sea buckthorn vine by the roadside.

"Green mosquitoes! Vegetable garden, quick! There are green mosquitoes!"

"Where? Where?" Song Yuan's attention was immediately drawn to the place, and he completely forgot about looking for his sister.

The green mosquito is covered with a hard shell, which makes it beautiful and clean, without any disgusting insect look.

The most important thing is, if you tie a thin wire to one of its feet, it will fly around in circles non-stop, which is really fun.

Lai Di pointed and said, "See that sea buckthorn vine? Be gentle, don't scare it away!"

Song Yuan looked in the direction she pointed and saw a green insect lying on the vine. Its shell glowed green in the setting sun.

He tiptoed over, slowly stretched out his hand, and grabbed it suddenly.

Unfortunately, the insect became alert and flew away with a buzzing sound.

"Don't run!"

Song Yuan shouted and chased after him along the mountain path.

Seeing that he was heading towards Xinghua Village, Lai Di and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they could fool this little brat for a while.

The two looked towards the direction of Wutong Village again. When the sunset fell into the valley, the familiar figure finally appeared on the lush and winding mountain road. He was holding a branch in his hand, one end of which was covered with a lot of mud.

Lai Di trotted forward and said, "You're finally back. How's it going? Did you not get discovered?"

Song Ying raised his eyes to look at her, then looked at Xiaoxiang who was a few steps behind, and said, "Laidi, Xiaoxiang, I have chosen a new name, Song Ying, which means Ying in the falling petals."

"Falling petals everywhere," Lai Di asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

Xiaoxiang looked at her in equal confusion.

Song Ying smiled, as if thinking of the most beautiful thing in the world, "You all shook the tree full of flowers."

"Of course, we have done this together many times."

"Falling petals refer to the beautiful scene of petals falling," she paused and emphasized, "It is a beautiful scene, not all falling flowers are called falling petals.

This comes from a very famous article called "Peach Blossom Spring". "

Lai Di recalled the scene of shaking the flower tree, which seemed to be beautiful all the time. When she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, your name is both beautiful and cultural!"

Song Ying raised her eyebrows. "That's right. I said I must choose the best name! Humph, I can also write!"

As she spoke, she squatted down and started writing on the ground with a branch.

On the way back, she would stop every time she walked a short distance and write down all the words Yuan Qing had taught her.

Although these seven words were deeply engraved in her mind like a brand, she was still worried that she would forget them, so she kept recalling and writing.

Looking at the two realistic symbols on the ground, Lai Di Xiao Xiang was extremely shocked: "You can actually write!"

"Hmm, I can not only write these two, but also others!" Song Ying quickly wrote down four characters next to them, and pointed to them one by one. "This is Luo-Ying-Bin-Fen. Isn't it beautiful to read it and beautiful to write it down?"

Lai Di and the other two were so shocked that they were speechless. It had only been a while, less than half an hour, and Daya not only had a very cultural new name, but she could also write!

"I know two more characters!" Song Ying took the branch and quickly wrote the two characters Yuan Qing. "These two characters are pronounced Yuan Qing, which is the name of Yuan Qing from Wutong Village."

Xiaoxiang came back to her senses from her shock and asked suspiciously, "Huh? Why did you learn his name first?"

"Because he taught me!" Song Ying was beaming with joy. "He has promised to teach me how to read. If I want to learn how to read in the future, I can just go find him!"

Lai Di and Xiao Xiang looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, Lai Di said, "Daya, isn't this a bit bad?"

"Call me Song Ying." Song Ying reminded seriously with a wooden face, but in less than a second, he smiled again.

"Okay, Song Ying, Yuan Qing is a boy. If you have private contact with him and people find out, you will be thrown into a pig cage."

"It's okay. We will be careful. No one else will know about this except you two."

"What if?" Lai Di was very anxious.

Xiaoxiang also worriedly said: "No secret can be kept secret forever, there will always be a day when it will be exposed.

Besides, you can’t keep your literacy a secret forever. If you want to use it to gain leverage in future marriage proposals, you must let people know.”

Song Ying patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've thought about it. Song Yuan is almost 6 years old, I will find a way to convince my grandmother and others to send him to school. In this way, I can say that he taught me how to read."

"Then why don't you wait until Xiaocaiyuanzi goes to school and then learn to read from him?" Lai Di immediately grasped the key point.

"Forget it. Look at Song Tian. We are both born of the same mother. I really don't have much confidence in him. If he learns the wrong thing, then he would have taught me the wrong thing as well."

Thinking of Song Tian’s great achievements when he was studying, Lai Di shut up and felt that learning to read from Song Yuan was indeed not very reliable.

"Then you should quickly convince your grandmother and the others to send the small vegetable garden to the school."

Song Ying nodded. She was very confident about this. Since her family had sent Song Tian to study, they would definitely let Song Yuan go as well. As for how long he could study, it depended on whether he was a good student.

She grinned, looked at her two good friends, and said, "Do you want to learn? I'll ask Yuan Qing next time. If he agrees, I'll teach you."

The two were naturally tempted, but not as bold as her. After thinking for a long time, they said, "Let's wait until Song Yuan goes to school."

"Okay!" Song Ying didn't force him. He wiped the dirt off the floor and stood up. "Let's go back."

Lai Di looked at her, who was full of joy, and said enviously, "I also want to have a cultural name."
