°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° Happy Nyepi Day, everyone!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Xu Weiqing didn’t know what went wrong. She was so confused now that she couldn’t care about Xia Jiaran’s emotions.
Seeing her perfunctory manner, Xia Jiaran pursed his lips slightly, looked down at the thing in his hand, and brushed his fingers over the red ribbon for decoration. His whole body was extremely quiet.
Each group of families had finished weaving bamboo, and the teacher came to help them with guidance.
Among the several groups of families, the child with the best completion of bamboo weaving was Mu Xiaoshi. She seemed to be quite talented in this area. The teacher specially gave her a special treatment: giving her a brush that could be used to draw on bamboo weaving.
The staff of the experience hall specially used transparent boxes to pack the bamboo weavings handmade by the children and returned them to them as souvenirs.
Ji Zhile saw the boat made by Mu Xiaoshi, with both ends pointed and raised. She used a paintbrush to draw patterns on it, which was exquisite and beautiful.
“Sister Xiaoshi, it is so beautiful!” Ji Zhile opened his mouth in surprise and was shocked.
Although Mu Xiaoshi knew that Ji Zhile was referring to the boat she made, she was still embarrassed because she had never been praised for her beauty.
When she was in kindergarten, the teacher chose students to perform in the class every Children’s Day, but she was never selected. Some students would say that she was too fat. No adults praised her for being beautiful, only her Aunt and Aunt Si Tian said that she was cute.
Several other children heard Ji Zhile’s words and came over to look at it. Jiang Ranyang also gave a thumbs up: “That’s awesome, Mu Xiaoshi. You are definitely number one.”
When Ji Ningyi saw it, he compared it with his own and nodded: “It’s very beautiful. Mu Xiaoshi, how did you weave these so neatly?”
Ji Ningyi was not a jealous child. He recognized the good things of others and asked others for advice when he did not do well.
Mu Xiaoshi blushed from their repeated praises: “I just learned it from the teacher and just made it up slowly.”
Ji Ningyi felt that this should be because everyone was good at something different. In school, Pei Jing was very good at running, but he could never catch up with Pei Jing. He asked Pei Jing how he could run faster. Pei Jing also didn’t quite understand and only said that he should just work harder, but Ji Ningyi couldn’t outrun Pei Jing no matter how hard he tried.
Now that Ji Ningyi had grown up for a few more months, he understood more things and knew that everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses.
Xia Jiaran only stretched his neck to look at their place and then looked away silently. His mother didn’t want him to play with Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile, so he couldn’t go over to watch with them.
In the end, the program team gave each family a bonus of 200 yuan based on their degree of completion because everyone completed this practical class, regardless of the finished product.
The whole morning passed quickly in such a handicraft class. After Si Tian and the others arrived home, Mu Xiaoshi knocked on their door.
“Aunt Si Tian, Auntie asked me to ask you, can we cook together for lunch?”
Si Tian didn’t expect such a good thing to happen, so she agreed immediately: “Thank you, Xiaoshi.”
Mu Xiaoshi blushed and shook her head: “You’re welcome.”
She hesitated for a moment and then took out the hand behind her back, holding a bamboo boat: “Give it to Aunt Si Tian.”
Si Tian was flattered: “This is made by Xiaoshi. How can you give it to me?”
Mu Xiaoshi said: “Ningyi asked me how to weave it well, but I didn’t know. I gave the boat to Aunt Si Tian, so it will be more convenient for Ningyi and Zhile to learn.”
When Ji Ningyi heard this, he poked his head out and said, “Thank you, Xiaoshi, but no need. This is the first time you have made a boat. It is very precious. We can just watch the video and learn it at home.”
Sitting next to Ji Ningyi, Ji Zhile looked up at Mu Xiaoshi’s boat, feeling a little moved because it was very beautiful. He liked beautiful things.
But he felt that his brother’s words were also reasonable. This was the first time they had learned bamboo weaving. The things they had made were precious. He didn’t want to give them to others even if the ones he made were broken, so he was struggling.
Mu Xiaoshi became nervous and put the boat directly into Si Tian’s hand: “Aunt Si Tian, I’m going back first. Remember to come to our house for dinner later.”
Then, she turned around and ran away.
Si Tian held the boat in her hand, thought for a while, and said to the two children: “Since Xiaoshi wants to give it to you, just accept it. You can make up something to give to Xiaoshi later during dinner.”
Ji Zhile thought his mother’s idea was very good. He climbed off the sofa and ran toward her. Then, he took the boat from Si Tian’s hand, turned it over in his hands, and said, “I know, Mom, Brother and I will make it up now!”
This is what friends do, you give me something, and I give you something.
