The next day, Chu Shouli got up before dawn. He wanted to go to town early.
Hearing the sound outside, Chu Ning also opened her eyes. Because she had something on her mind, she was quite alert in her sleep, and the slightest noise would wake her up.
Looking at the dark roof, she opened her mouth wide and let out a long yawn.
I really don't want to get up.
Although the quilt on my body is old and hard and has no thermal insulation effect, fortunately the earthen bed is warm, so this quilt can barely be called comfortable, at least not warm. Compared with the ice and snow outside, it can be regarded as a warm place.
.
So doesn’t it feel good to stay at home and sleep in? Why can’t you think of agreeing to go to the mountain with the surname Fang?
well!
Chu Ning scolded Fang Shengyu hard in her heart, and finally she wasn't so depressed anymore.
Forget it, we are already awake, there is no need to go back to sleep, we might as well get up.
There are two wolves in the house. They are ferocious creatures after all, so we should keep an eye on them.
Chu Ning sighed resignedly and was about to get up. Only then did she realize that Chu Jing had woken up. She sat silently, not thinking about anything and not knowing what she was thinking.
Chu Ning sat up slowly, holding the quilt, and yawned lazily. Fang asked, "It's not yet dawn, what are you doing up so early?"
"Ah~, eldest sister, you, are you awake?"
Chu Jing seemed to be shocked by her, and spoke a little stutteringly, "Sister, eldest sister, I, I..."
Chu Ning didn't think much and continued, "Today we are doing housework in the fifth house. It has nothing to do with us. Don't get involved in it stupidly. It's not like they don't have skills."
Hearing what she said, Chu Jing's nose felt a little sore, "Yeah, I understand."
The room was dark, Chu Ning could only see her figure and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but her voice seemed wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? You must be cold too,
When I prepare the medicine for the third child later, you should also drink some... Well, just go buy it after you finish drinking the medicine, don't be reluctant..."
In the darkness, Chu Jing wiped the corners of his eyes quietly.
The eldest sister hadn't spoken to her like this for a few days. She thought she had changed, but it turned out that she was being petty.
"Sister, I, I want to discuss something with you..."
"What's up?"
"Um, um, can I exchange your coat for you?"
Chu Ning was wearing a new coat. Hearing this, he asked strangely, "What? You don't like that color?"
She bought the four coats as they were too big, and she was as thin as a washboard. So even though she was three years older than Chu Jing, wearing her new coat was
No problem.
But she doesn't like the color red.
"I thought you would like this bright color..."
Chu Ning continued, "It's okay. If you really don't like it, just leave it for now and wait until I have time to change it to a different color for you."
As she spoke, she yawned and said, "I won't exchange mine with you. The grass-green color is too plain and not suitable for you."
After listening to her words, Chu Jing's heart felt warm and swollen. She wanted to say loudly that she liked the new coat, she really liked it, but in the end she said in a deep voice, "No, it's not me wearing it. I, I think about my mother."
My coat is also old, I think..."
Chu Ning glanced over and stared at her sharply, "Have you forgotten what I said before?"
The room was clearly dark, but Chu Jing felt her sharp eyes strongly, "Sister, don't be angry, I, I just think that my mother's coat is too old, so, just
…”
"Then you are going to donate my coat? You are really filial!"
"No, no, I don't want eldest sister's things, I just want to exchange them with you..."
"Oh, then you just want to give away the coat I carefully selected for you!"
"...Sister, that is our mother, not an outsider."
Chu Ning sneered coldly, "The things she did are worse than those of an outsider."
To be honest, Chu Jing was a little dissatisfied with Qin's giving away all the buns and leaving none to her sisters, but she had been brainwashed by Qin for many years, and some of her thoughts were deeply ingrained and not easy to change.
"...Mom can't help it either..."
"Yes! You don't have to say this to me."
Chu Ning interrupted her angrily, "If you want to be a filial daughter, you should be filial to me. You don't have to nag me about it. But there is one thing. If you want to be filial, you should find a way by yourself. Don't use my things as favors."
The two of them didn't talk to each other, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more tense. Chu Jing gradually became angry, "I know why the eldest sister is angry, but you don't even care about the fact that my grandma is selling people, why can't you be nicer to your mother...
"
Chu Ning said in surprise, "How do you see that I don't care anymore?"
Chu Jing also said in surprise, "Then you still let everyone eat mutton?"
Chu Ning...
Suddenly I felt a bit dumbfounded.
What bad thoughts can a child have? It's just that he has been educated to be foolish and filial.
Thinking of the child's previous defense of her, she couldn't bear to say so, "Okay, stop being so jabbering. When I get more money, can I buy new coats for my father and mother?"
Chu Jing was overjoyed, "Really?"
"Really, really, realer than real gold."
Chu Ning was naturally willing to spend money on Chu Shouli. As for the Qin family, alas, it would be hard to leave her alone.
After all, she was the one who took over Xiao Zhaodi's body, and she should have taken care of her relatives for her, but she had a bad temperament and was too lazy to deal with people she didn't like.
Even more lazy to pay attention to it.
But with her current identity here, she shouldn't be too alien, otherwise she would be in trouble if someone puts her on fire.
So that’s pretty much it, don’t take it too seriously.
Anyway, that's not what she really cares about.
That's what I said, but why is my mood so unhappy?
Chu Ning leaned back and fell down again.
Annoying!
She was going crazy with annoyance, but Chu Jing happily hugged her new coat and touched it again and again, "It's easy to get dirty when you wear it for work, so I'd better keep it for the New Year."
Chu Ning ignored her.
Chu Jing didn't care, she was so happy that she touched it here and there, but she couldn't get enough.
Just when Chu Ning was so noisy by her that she wanted to get angry, the little gray dumpling came running over.
"Sister, if you don't wake up, go back to sleep for a while. I'll get the little one to eat, the big one..."
Yesterday, Chu Ning was going to sleep with the little gray dumpling in his arms, but the little guy didn't get used to it and ran to find his mother by himself. It was most likely that he came here so early in the morning that he wanted someone to feed him.
"Don't worry about the big ones, just do it."
Chu Jing agreed, put on her old coat and went to the kitchen.
At this moment, Chu Shouli had just drank two bowls of muddy porridge and was about to set off for the town. When he saw Chu Jing, he asked Chu Ning hurriedly. He heard that she had woken up, so he went back to the west wing.
After Mrs. Qin waited for him to leave, she said to Chu Jing, "Clean the dishes your father used."
"Ning'er, are you up?"
Chu Shouli stood outside the inner door and called people in a low voice, so Chu Ning had no choice but to get dressed and come out.
It was so cold in the room that she shrank her neck and put her hands in her sleeves. She hunched over and walked out slowly with an old man.
But after seeing Chu Shouli, she straightened up instantly and said, "Dad, you won't just go to town like this, will you?"
Chu Shouli was wearing a set of dusty old coat and trousers, which were piled with patches and were as tattered as those worn by beggars.
Being stared at by his daughter, Chu Shouli felt a little uncomfortable, "Your mother said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and she needs to take out and wash the cotton clothes, so she asked me to wear this old set first."
Of course, the set that needs to be disassembled and washed is also old. It has been worn for four or five years, and the color has turned white after being washed early. Fortunately, there are no patches, so it is better than the set I am wearing.
Thinking of something, Chu Ning's face darkened slightly, "I remember that the suit dad wore yesterday was quite clean."
