Chapter 398 Ceramics It was soon the final day. The crew no longer gave them any more tasks.
Nancy knew that they would soon leave that place. Therefore, she went to the mountain to pick a lot of small beautiful wildflowers with a few of her friends. After that, she asked her brother to help tie them up into beautiful bouquets.
Holding a pen, she lay on the table and wrote small cards seriously. "Nancy, what are you guys doing?” Colin was curious. The children had been busy since the morning.
Nancy held up the small card in her hand. It was a rectangular paper card the size of her palm with simple drawings of flowers or animals at the corners. It looked very adorable.
The large blank space in the middle was used for a message.
The girl's handwriting was nice. All she wrote was nothing but blessings.
"This is for Granny Wood, the third family at the end of the village and this is for Granny Lawson, the second family. This is..." The children were so busy because they wanted to give some presents to the villagers whom they had gotten familiar with.
Although they had only been there a few days, they went out for fun almost every day. The villagers liked them very much. They would take the children along to get some vegetables, eggs, or fruits from different families now and then.
Nancy wanted to give those villagers some presents before leaving since the villagers were so nice.
The children did not buy expensive gifts either since they just wanted to show the villagers their regard. Therefore, those four children went to pick flowers and wrote small cards.
"I see. Let me help you guys." Jason raised his hand. "Me too. I want to help Mr. Brook to tie the flowers up.” Fiona glanced at the door of her sister's room. Her gaze turned dull with disappointment.
Eileen did not come out of her room much after she came back the day before. The crew acted sensibly and gave the excuse that she was feeling unwell.
But everyone knew the truth very well.
Colin went to call Eileen out, but she did not come out.
Now Eileen wanted nothing more than to end the show and go home immediately.
Soon Colin went to cook. They planned to eat together on the last day. The others also went and helped after they had completed their tasks. During lunch, Fiona went to call her sister out. Finally, Eileen came out of her room that time around.
Eileen looked slightly haggard. But of course, she had put on some makeup.
She appeared disappointed and sad the moment she came out of her room. She said a lot of things like a pretentious b”tch. She blamed Colin and the others for not helping her and consequently causing her failure the day before.
Both Martin and Colin were rendered speechless.
How could she... act so shamelessly?
Martin rolled his eyes at her rudely.
"Let's eat!"
Nancy pouted. “Eileen, you didn't buy Fiona a souvenir yesterday." Eileen's expression turned stiff.
“I'm sorry. It's my fault...”
Martin said, "You know that it's your fault. Then can you please shut up?”
Jason ate heartily. But his shoulders started to shake because he was holding back his laughter. Mr. Brook was indeed awesome! Even Colin could not help rolling his eyes. He felt that it was better if Eileen did not come out.
They were busy the whole morning, completing every task. But the moment she came out, she said weird things. What the hell?
After lunch, Martin wore a fake smile. "Everyone has something to do today. Then the one who didn't help to cook has to do the dishes. Is there a problem?"Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Eileen was struck dumb.
"om
"Did you want to eat for free?"
Before she could finish speaking, Martin interrupted her with a look of shock.
Eileen gritted her teeth. "No, I didn't. Let me do the dishes."
Both Colin and Jason looked at each other. How fantastic!
After doing the dishes, Eileen saw that they were going out to give others gifts. So, she acted shamelessly and went with them. She just wanted to go to that old lady's house. She wondered if Winona was still around.
They went to each house to give gifts. At last. they went to the house of Nancy's teacher.
The old lady was still wearing traditional clothes, leaning against the rattan chair with a round fan in her hand and a large dog beside her. A few butterflies flew past her occasionally.
The ald lady lived there alone. It seemed desolate, but the old lady appeared comfortable and relaxed.
It was such a beautiful yard. If she did not miss that particular someone, it would be relatively cozy for her. "Madam." Nancy ran over and hugged the old lady.
The ald lady smiled happily and sat up to rub Nancy's head.
"Here you are.”
She seemed to know that they would come. "Have a seat.”
There were stone tables and chairs under the pear tree, but they were not enough. Nancy quickly made a few trips, running into the house to carry a few stools out.
Eileen looked around the moment she walked into the place. But unfortunately, she did not see the person she was looking for.
"Madam, this is for you."
Of course, thegift she got for her teacher was different from the other gifts for thecother villagers. The > flowers. were planted inasmall = porcelain pot. The small wildfigers which'were as blue as the sky appeared among the g eentleaves déhsely, just like the starry sky.
Although they were just wildflowers, the old lady cherished them very much. "And this too. I drew this.”
She took out apainting that she spent a lon gaime drawing the day before. An éetegant old lady was embroidéring under the pear trees with atarge black dog at her feet. A young 5 fair girl was sitting at her other side in a pink traditional dress, l&arning with an air of importance.
After the old lady saw it, she regarded it as a treasure and put it away nicely. Her eyes turned watery. "I like it very much."
"Madam, I'm going home with my brother today. But if I'm free, I'll come to visit you. Or, you can come and see me if you miss me. I'll ask my brother to come and fetch you with a plane.”
"Okay, wait for a moment." She left and went to her room to take some books and a set of embroidery tools for her.
“Learn it slowly at home. Don't act in
a rush. You're still young. If there's
something you don't know when I m
not around; you can ask your seniar,
remember you said that your house
is in LGity of A City. Wendy's house
is alSo at A City. It's easy foryou to
meet her. Winona always. goes on
business trips and isn't afways at a
place."
The old lady talked endlessly. giving Nancy advice. Nancy sat beside the old lady and listened carefully. She even nodded from time to time to indicate that she had gotten them by heart
Eileen said, "Ugh... I would like to ask about something."
Martin exclaimed, "You've got nothing to ask!"
The others looked at Eileen. Being interrupted, Eileen's face turned livid
But when she saw Martin's cold and indifferent gaze, she hunched and did not dare to say anything anymore. How cool!
Jason gave him a thumbs-up.
Besides, everyone knew very well what Eileen wanted to ask about.
Nancy was having a nice chat with her teacher. But Eileen wanted to interrupt them with an ulterior motive and ask about Winona. Wasn't she trying to pick a quarrel?
