The days we traveled with Mikasa

Chapter 11 Birthday

11.

So Chen Qing started his unpretentious and boring embroidery study career.

With his participation, Mikasa, who was originally lazy, became excited, and within a month he basically mastered the embroidery of the family crest.

As long as she wants to embroider it, she can do it by flying up and down for an hour, and the equilateral triangle formed by the interlacing of the three swords can jump on the cloth.

Chen Qing: Really deserve to be the future chief of the 104th issue!

As for Chen Qing, this was not the case at all. Yan Chuanling once reluctantly persuaded him to give up, but under Mikasa's aegyo, he compromised and accepted his fate, so he completely learned in one month and twenty-nine days Embroidery method of family crest.

It only takes four or five hours for him to finish embroidering, and the finished product is not as perfect as Mikasa made, but crooked, and only three swords can be seen. As for the equilateral triangle, it is completely invisible. Out.

During this period, he also used energy to strengthen his arms and hands first, so that the power control on his hands reached a terrible level, but still...not working.

So the facts show that you need talent to engage in art, and it has nothing to do with physical fitness.

During this period, Chen Qing also used the excuse of beating Yanchuanling's back to send a lot of energy to her heart, and her condition should be relieved, because the fire of the creatures belonging to her has been burning vigorously. Some.

......

844, February 10th.

As time went by, it was February 10th. This was the fourth month of the Ackerman family’s home life. On this day, Chen Qing and Mikasa went out for an unprecedented time. They wore two adults’ cotton jackets, making Han Han The wind has no way to deal with them.

Luther and Yan Chuanling themselves are very worried about the safety of their two children, but Chen Qing has now completed the first round of physical strengthening.After he smashed the wooden stool to be used for firewood in front of Luther with his hands, Luther didn't say anything.

Chen Qing: How can parents follow me on the first date with Mikasa?Although... Mikasa doesn't understand what I mean...

Mikasa was very excited about being able to go shopping on the street, because she knew that today was her birthday, and Chen Qing took her to Higanshina District with her, obviously, she wanted to buy her a birthday present. .

The two followed the snow-covered path into the nearby town.

Although it has entered a cold winter, there are no fewer people on the street than when Chen Qing first came, but more. Chen Qing estimated that most of the farmers in nearby villages and towns came out to buy food because they did not have enough food at home.

"Is there enough food at home?" Chen Qing wondered. Before leaving the house, Luther gave him some money and asked him to buy something for the family besides buying gifts for Mikasa.

"Brother, look there!" Mikasa pulled at Chen Qing and shouted, pointing to a headdress on a stall.

The headdress is a hairpin made of metal, and there are several metal flowers painted in red on it, which looks very beautiful.

Chen Qing stepped forward to take a look, and asked the stall owner: "Hello, how much is this hairpin?"

"Haha, kid, do you want to buy a gift for my sister?" The stall owner laughed twice, "It's not expensive at all, it's just fifteen copper coins."

There are three currencies in circulation in the world inside the wall: gold, silver, and copper, and their face value difference is 100.

The three currencies, from gold to copper, are printed with the patterns of the three-story walls of Hina, Rose, and Maria to distinguish them.

"Fifteen copper coins?"

Although it doesn’t sound like a lot, in the Wall of Maria, a piece of bread that can eat an adult for a day only needs five copper coins, so if you spend fifteen copper coins to buy a piece of jewelry, it’s not very wealthy. It's still a bit expensive for the Kermans.

What's more, Chen Qing is not rich, Luther only gave fifty copper coins.

"Oh, thank you... forget it." He put the hairpin back in place, and then left with Mikasa's hand.

"Brother, is it too expensive again?" Mikasa asked carefully.

Chen Qing shook his head and said: "If you want to buy it, it must be affordable, but it is not necessary. It is better to have a practical birthday gift?"

"Um... Brother, you can buy me something practical." She nodded sensibly.

Mikasa actually understands the financial situation of her family. Simply put, she has no money. She noticed this a long time ago, so she has always been frugal in life.

"So, what can I buy?" Chen Qing began to worry. He didn't think about this issue in his previous life. He received few gifts in those five years, and the best one was a handful. A dagger made by grinding a foreign person's accessory limb...

dagger?

Chen Qing's frowned brows stretched out, why not give Mikasa a self-defense dagger?He happened to be able to teach Mikasa some simple techniques when he was at home.

Want to know when is it now?

844 years!

The year Mikasa's parents were killed in the original book!Since you have decided to change this, you have to prepare early.

Because he didn't know exactly when this incident happened, the only clue was that the Ackermans would receive news of Grisha's upcoming arrival before then.

So, do some preparation first.

......

Family.

Chen Qing carried a pocket of apples and knocked on the door.

"Squeaky-"

Luther, who heard the movement, opened the door and led the two children into the house.

"Back?" Yan Chuanling walked to the door to take the apple, but Luther took it first.

She shook her head helplessly. Since the last time Grisha came to see the illness, Luther hadn't let her do any hard work, rushing to finish it before her every time.

Yan Chuanling had to help Mikasa and Chen Qing take off the heavy padded jackets and hung them on the wall.

"What good things did you buy?" She couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw that a new thing on Mikasa's body did not appear.

"I guess, it must be a beautiful jewellery or something." Luther rubbed his chin and guessed, "Or else it's new clothes, but you can't see to buy new clothes?"

"That's it!" Mikasa ran to the door and took out a somewhat old sheathed dagger from the pocket of the cotton jacket.

"Ok?"

Luther and Yan Chuanling were both stunned. Why did Chen Qing give this thing to a little girl in Mikasa?

Chen Qing scratched his head in embarrassment. He also realized that it was not easy to explain the gift of this item after he had bought it. Although Mikasa said that as long as the brother gave it, he liked it, but the two parents had a hard time!

"This is mainly for Mikasa to learn some self-defense methods. She was almost bullied by a gangster last time." He came up with a not-so-good excuse, "Mikasa is too beautiful. If I was not there when I grew up, She may be coveted by others, so I wanted to let her have basic self-protection ability..."

He said that he didn’t believe it anymore, but he couldn’t help it. During this year, he was destined to have misfortune to come home. It would be best if he could protect his family, but if the bad guys used any means to force him to leave his family. , Then you can't just wait and die!

"Then this is not the reason why you bought her a dagger?" Luther shook his head helplessly, "After all, it's a girl. What about my mother and me?"

With that, he looked at Yan Chuanling, wanting to see what her opinion was.

But Yan Chuanling said, “I think Chen Qing’s statement is not wrong. We can protect Mikasa when we are here, but what if we are gone?”

"You can learn some, but Mikasa..." She knelt down and looked at Mikasa, "Don't cause trouble, you must use it only for the purpose of protecting yourself, please promise your mother?"

"Yeah!" Mikasa nodded, "My brother said he would protect me too, so I shouldn't need it, right?"

"Relax, brother will definitely protect you to the end." Chen Qing said with a wave of hands.
