Translator: EndlessFantasy Iranslation Editor: EndlessFantasy Iranslation
Among the children, only Jian Qingqing and Xiao Hu could ride a horse. Xiao Hu knew that he could learn to ride a horse and had been riding the horse for the past few days. He was not afraid of the pain in his legs.
Jian Qingqing gave a smug smile to Xiao Lang. “Who told you to be so short? You can ride a horse when you’re as tall as me.”
Xiao Lang crossed his arms and snorted.
These days, it had always been the few of them who sat in the same carriage, while Old Man Jian, Father Jian, and Mothe Jian were in another carriage.
In this carriage, Xiao Ye was focused on memorizing the content of a book Xiao Lang was playing with his toys, and Jian Qingqing was the only one who was bored.
She looked left and right, and her interest was piqued. She put away all Xiao Lang’s toys and picked Xiao Ye up. “Don’t read, Xiao Ye. Reading in the carriage is bad for your eyes.”
Xiao Ye struggled to get down, his face flushed red. “Sister, men and women shouldn’t be intimate!’
Jian Qingqing sighed. It seemed that Xiao Ye was going growing up.
After Xiao Ye got down, Xiao Lang quickly went up and nestled in her arms. “Sister, you can carry me!”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Let’s play a game. I guarantee it’s something you guys have never played before!’
Xiao Lang was immediately attracted to her and asked anxiously, “What? What?
Let’s play quickly!’
Xiao Ye also looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Jian Qingqing laughed in her heart. After all, he was still a child. No matter how much he loved to learn, she would still be attracted to the game.
She hummed and glanced at the carriage. She did not find what she wanted, so she said, “Let’s make a prop first.”
She lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Wei zheng, “Wei Zheng, find me a bamboo, a bigger one!’
At this time, they were passing by a bamboo forest and there were many bamboos by the roadside.
Wei Zheng obediently rode his horse to the side of the road and soon brought a long piece of bamboo.
“Princess, is there anything you need me to do?”
Jian Qingqing waved her hand. “Go do your thing. I can do it myself.”
Wei Zheng had to stop to do this, and it was very convenient for them to do it in the carriage.
Wei Zheng could only leave.
Xiao Lang and Xiao Ye looked at the bamboo and asked curiously, “Sister, what are we going to do next?”
Jian Qingqing said, “Xiao Lang, use your knife to cut this bamboo into small pieces. It’s best if each piece is the same. Xiao Ye, later you’ll do it on the bamboo. I’ll teach you how to carve it.”
“Okay!” The two of them nodded excitedly.
Xiao Lang’s hands were very strong. He held the knife used to cut fruits and quickly cut the bamboo into small pieces. The pieces were almost the same.
Jian Qingqing touched it and felt that it was too thick. She said, “Xiao Lang, can you cut it a little thinner?”
He nodded confidently, “Of course!’
He used the knife to split the bamboo into two halves and separated the thin bamboo skin.
Jian Qingqing played with it for a while. The thickness was moderate. She nodded in satisfaction and praised, “Not bad! Xiao Lang, you’re really good!’ Xiao Lang laughed loudly and said, “Then can I eat beef jerky today?’
Because the beef jerky was a little hot, Jian Qingqing only gave it to him the next day.
Jian Qingqing nodded. “You just need to peel these bamboo pieces.”
Xiao Ye quickly asked, “Sister, can I make them now?”
Then, he said embarrassedly, “I want to eat beef jerky too.”
Jian Qingqing rubbed his head. “Yes, yes. We can eat them once they’re ready!’
She looked at the few bamboo pieces that had been peeled and picked one up. “Xiao Ye, come. I’ll teach you how to carve them now..”
