The little kids felt that they should properly teach him what it meant to be truly poor.
They had only seen poor people pretending to be rich, but they had never seen anyone living in a green brick house and using servants say that they had to work hard to earn ten copper coins.
However, as soon as they walked into the courtyard, they could not help but be stunned by the scenery inside.
There were many lanterns hanging under the corridor. There were swings in the front yard, trellises, date trees, and pomegranate trees. There were beautiful birds folded with colored paper in the corridor, frogs, butterflies, and all kinds of small animals.
“Are these flowers? They’re folded with paper. They look like flowers.”
“Smells good. I know where the kitchen is.”
Gu Yunshu was also a little dumbfounded. When he went out in the morning, they were not there. Now, he realized that the entire house had been decorated.
His birthday wish was to eat a bowl of longevity noodles and a boiled egg, but Big Sister had gone through so much trouble to give him such a big surprise.
Gu Yunshu wanted to cry, and then he really did. He kept wiping his eyes with his small hands.
Bian Yuanzhi, who was watching from the side, was envious. He still remembered that his birthday was a few months ago. At that time, he didn’t even have a full meal and could only drink two mouthfuls of cold water.
Now that he saw Gu Yunshu crying, he hurried forward to comfort him. “You should be happy about your birthday. Everyone is looking at you. Don’t cry anymore.”
Gu Yundong also walked out of the kitchen and looked at the little guy standing under the porch. “Big Sister prepared everything meticulously. Don’t you like it?”
“I like it, I like it.” He wiped his tears and quickly ran over to hug her waist. “Big Sister, I like it so much. I’m so happy. I’ve never been so happy. Actually, I just want to eat a bowl of longevity noodles.”
Gu Yundong stroked his head. “There’s longevity noodles, boiled eggs, and birthday cake.”
“What’s a birthday cake?” The child looked up in confusion and blinked.
Gu Yundong did not answer. Instead, she pushed him. “Alright, you’ll entertain your classmates first. You’ll know when dinner starts later.”
“Oh.” Gu Yunshu finally realized that he seemed to have neglected the guests. He immediately smiled in embarrassment and turned to bring his classmates to his room.
Gu Yunshu’s room was very large. It was divided into an inner and outer room. There was a desk, a bed, and a bookcase.
There were some books on the cabinet that they usually read, but there were also books that involved other aspects.
Liu Yi even found a novel inside and was so shocked that he almost threw it out.
Madam Cui knocked on the door and came in with sugar water.
Tong Shuitao followed behind with a pile of things in her hands.
As soon as she entered, she said to Gu Yunshu, “It’s still early. Everyone can relax here. This is a jigsaw puzzle. Second Young Master knows how to play it. This is the Luban Lock. You can try to undo it and put it back together. This is the chessboard. Everyone can play chess.”
She placed the things on the bed first and then spread two carpets on the ground so that everyone could sit on them.
Yi Junkun and the others were stunned as they watched Madam Cui and Tong Shuitao come and go. Their gazes slowly shifted to the pile of things.
In the next moment, everyone rushed forward and targeted Luban Lock.
Only Liu Yi tilted his head and curiously looked at the puzzle in his hand. “What is this? How do I play it?”
It was something he had never seen before. It looked even more novel than the Luban Lock..
