The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1346: Chapter 1346: Yuan Shanchuan’s Surprise

Quanquan turned around, pointed at Second Aunt Zhou, and said, ”That old aunt said I’m an elder and should prepare a gift for the little niece.” He looked at Little Song Le, ”Have you prepared it?”

Little Song Le looked bewildered, he, he, he didn’t know, what to do?

The child quickly lowered his head to look at his small bag. He’s always carried the small bag, which Shu Yu prepared for him, and whatever tasty or fun things he had, he’d put them inside.

Upon hearing they needed to prepare a gift, he wanted to see if he could find something in the bag.

However, Yuan Shanchuan frowned upon hearing his son’s words and glanced at Second Aunt Zhou.

The latter had been watching from the side, and upon seeing this, she immediately turned her head, pretending to know nothing.

Yuan Shanchuan snorted coldly in his heart and lowered his head to Quanquan, saying, ”The gift for Zaozao has already been prepared by your father and mother.”

After a pause, he added, ”Including your share.”

Quanquan still looked puzzled, scratching the back of his head.

Is that so?

Though he didn’t quite understand, what his father said always made sense. Since the gift was ready, it was fine.

Quanquan breathed a sigh of relief, but Little Song Le, after hearing this, became even more nervous.

Quanquan had his parents’ help, but he didn’t, so was he coming empty-handed?

Hence, he lowered his head and continued rifling through his bag, and the first thing he pulled out was that bead.

Previously, he would hold it in his hand, but now that he had a bag, it was safer inside, so he kept it there.

Now, taking the bead out, he looked at it and put it back.

However, assured by Yuan Shanchuan’s reply, Quanquan turned and grabbed Little Song Le’s hand, ”Come on, let’s go play.”

In taking his hand, Little Song Le’s bead slipped from his grasp, and with a ’thud,’ it fell to the ground and rolled forward.

”Ah, my bead!”

Yuan Shanchuan helplessly gave his son a little flick on the head, quickly telling the two of them, ”Stay here and don’t move, I’ll go pick it up.”

There were so many people at his brother-in-law’s house that day, everyone bustling around, carrying plates or things, and with children darting around, someone could easily get knocked over, which wouldn’t be good.

Yuan Shanchuan told the two to stay put and went in the direction where the bead had rolled to a corner.

Little Song Le originally wanted to chase after it, as the bead was very important to him, and he was always anxious about parting with it.

But Quanquan held his hand, and, having spent half a year getting along with the group, he was no longer as reclusive as before, and could heed Yuan Shanchuan’s words.

So, though still anxious, he restrained himself and obediently stood in place, just craning his neck to look ahead.

Yuan Shanchuan quickly navigated through the crowd and reached a corner of the courtyard, where the bead had rolled under a wooden plank. The plank was a leftover from when the Lu family’s main house was being repaired and had been piled up here.

Yuan Shanchuan bent down and took some effort to retrieve the bead.

When he picked it up, the bead was covered in dirt from rolling, too dirty to give directly to the child. Looking around, he saw a basin of water for washing vegetables nearby and rinsed the bead in it.

Once clean, he was relieved, and prepared to return it to Little Song Le.

Who knew that, after drying the bead with a handkerchief, Yuan Shanchuan would suddenly stop, surprised at the pattern on the bead.

This pattern... he had seen it before.
