"Don't look at how ordinary Aunty Wang is now. But she was an old nanny with decades of working experience!”
Li Yuan sat on a stool and used a needle and thread to connect a few pieces of cloth that had been cut out while chatting with the netizens in the live broadcast room.
"Aunty Wang is nimble and diligent. Basically, he could make any kind of sundries in the house. She used to be a top-notch nanny in a large housekeeping company, the kind that was very popular!”
"Later, her son and daughter-in-law got into a car accident in her hometown, leaving her lonely granddaughter alone. Auntie Wang had no choice but to bring her granddaughter back to Beijing to work and take care of the baby.”
"However, this would violate the rules of the housekeeping company. Aunty Wang had no choice but to quit the housekeeping company and come out to find a new employer. It just so happened that there was no one in my courtyard house all year round. I thought that one more person would make it more lively, so I let the two of them live together.”
After listening to this story, the live broadcast room was filled with sighs.
"The Heavenly Dao is really heartless, and the world is unpredictable!”
"It's the saddest thing for a white-haired person to send off a black-haired person!”
"No wonder Aunty Wang rarely smiles. Her smile only becomes brighter when she mentions her granddaughter. So there's such a reason…"
As she spoke, she saw that Aunty Wang had already returned with a full load.
She held a bamboo pole that was about three to four meters long in her left hand and a small bamboo seedling in her right hand.
"Big Sister Qin gave us another bamboo seedling and said that we can plant it in our courtyard.”Aunty Wang asked in a questioning tone.
Li Yuan nodded and agreed,""Just plant it at the back of the shadow wall. There's a piece of empty soil there anyway.”
When Aunty Wang carried the bamboo seedlings over to dig and plant them, Li Yuan used a knife to cut the bamboo into small bamboo strips as thick as a finger.
After cutting them to a suitable length, he began to use lines to fix them together to form a skeleton.
As he operated, he explained.
"The kite was also invented by our country. It has a history of more than 2000 years. It was said that Mo Di used wood to make wooden birds in the beginning. Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve it, which became the origin of kites.”
" However, the materials used to make it were all animal skins or coarse cloth. The purpose was to place one's thoughts in it and to remember one's deceased relatives and friends. It wasn't until the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cai Lun invented the art of making paper, that people began to make kites out of paper, known as paper kites. Only then did kites officially become toys for children, appearing in various ancient poems.”
"During the Tang Dynasty, kites were brought to Japan by foreign students. Around the 13th century, it was spread to Europe by Marco Polo. Now, it was basically a common toy for all children in the world. Moreover, many countries had formed a tradition of kite racing.”
"666, the host has a wide range of knowledge. It's simply amazing!”
"Are you new upstairs? You'll get used to it!"
"The streamer just started broadcasting today, okay? You make it sound like you're an old fan who's been following me for many years…"
"I've been reading The Kite Runner for the past two days. There's a kite race in it. I almost thought that kites were invented by their country, but it turns out that they were passed down from our side!”
"If it wasn't for Brother Yuan 'er's explanation, I would have been led astray by a certain woman…"
“……”
Li Yuan quickly fixed a few bamboo strips and finally pieced them together into a big skeleton.
Then, he covered it with the cloth that he had cut earlier and connected it to the skeleton with a needle and thread.
Not long after, the first kite was completed.
The kite was about two meters long.
It had a round head, eyes, nose, and mouth.
There was a pair of extended wings in the middle, and some small strips of cloth were used to make feathers.
Its two tails were spread out diagonally to the left and right, from thick to thin, like a pair of large scissors.
Li Yuan checked the surroundings again and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that it had been completely stabilized.
"Why don't you all take a guess? What kind of kite is this?”
"From the shape, it's obviously a bird…Could it be a pigeon again?”
"How can a pigeon's tail be shaped like a pair of scissors? This is clearly a swallow!"
Li Yuan reached out and snapped his fingers. This was a swallow, the most famous sand swallow kite in the city!”
In the live broadcast room, there was a wave of congratulatory voices.
" 666, congratulations fickle netizens!"
"You're amazing, fickle friend! Congratulations!"
"Am I the only one who looks confused? What's there to congratulate?"
"To be able to get a compliment from Brother Yuan Er, you can brag about it for the rest of your life!”
“……”
Li Yuan didn't stop after making one kite. He continued to make the second and third.
"Why is the host still doing it? Were they preparing to fly all the kites into the sky together?”A netizen asked.
Li Yuan smiled mysteriously." I'll keep you in suspense first. When we go to the park tomorrow and fly the kite, you'll naturally know!"”
"Streamer, do you dare to reveal the name of the park in advance? I've decided to run over early in the morning and wait!”
"There are only a few parks in the city where you can fly a kite.”
Just as Li Yuan finished speaking, he saw someone calling him.
The caller ID showed that it was an unknown number. He could not free his hands, so he did not pick it up.
Not long after, the phone rang again…
……
"Damn it! How dare you not answer my call!"
In a quaint boudoir, Meng Xiaoqiu looked at the number that had just been added on her phone with a resentful expression.
"It's only nine o'clock. You shouldn't be sleeping so early, right? I don't believe it. Fight again!"
When she called for the fourth time, the other party finally picked up.
The girl's resentful expression immediately dissipated and turned elegant…
"Hello, Brother Yuan Er? I'm Qiu…I just wanted to ask if you're free tomorrow.”
"I'm not free…do you have any other plans?”
"Go to the park? What a coincidence! I also want to go to the park! Then let's go together. It's settled. I'll drive to pick you up tomorrow!”
After hanging up the phone, the girl made a victory gesture at the dressing mirror beside her.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
"Qiu, why is a Concubine Yu costume missing from my room? Is it with you?"
The girl stuck out her tongue and quickly took out the folded costume. She opened the door and handed it to the old man at the door.
"I took it to take a photo for a friend today. Grandpa, it should be okay, right?”
Meng Guangsu took the costume but did not answer. Instead, he asked,"Who were you talking to on the phone just now? Boyfriend?"
"Aiya, no! Grandpa, what are you thinking? Just an ordinary friend…I won't talk to you anymore. I have to be careful. Goodnight, Grandpa!”
After saying that, the young girl directly closed the door.
"…Still pretending? Do you really think I'm old and deaf?”
The old man smiled helplessly and looked out the window.
"I haven't gone for a walk in the park in a long time. It looks like tomorrow will be a good day!”
