A group of old ladies are about to quarrel all over the house. None of the brothers Chu Shouren, Chu Shouyi and Chu Shouzhi are outstanding, not to mention the Kong family's sisters-in-law. Who likes to get out of bed on a cold day? Just leave the quarrel and follow them.
What does it matter.
As for Chu Ning, she had already taken her three girls to the river for skating, and she had no idea that anyone was coming to borrow money.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
"Sister..."
Chu Tian and Chu Ran were so excited when they arrived at the river. They didn't need Chu Ning to lead them, so they ran down to play happily. Even if they fell down repeatedly, they still played happily.
Seeing them having fun, Chu Ning was in a good mood, looking at them with a smile and a gentle look on his face.
But Chu Jing was very preoccupied and could not cheer up.
She originally didn't want to disturb Chu Ning's good mood, but in the end she couldn't hold it back, "Sister, if you beat the second concubine today, the second uncle will definitely come to ask for an explanation. You are not afraid, but she...
…”
Chu Ning put away her smile, glanced at her lightly, and then looked at the two young ladies not far away, "You mean, I should just stand there obediently and wait for her to take off my clothes?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Chu Jing shook her head repeatedly, "Er Jinzi has always been like that. She doesn't look down on others who are kind of good. She also looks down on us. She also mocks dad for being useless... I don't like her either, but she is my mother's family. You and I
She had a falling out, and when the time comes, it will still be my mother who will be angry..."
Chu Ning sneered, "What? Do you think if you just swallow it, they won't bully us?"
These words immediately choked Chu Jing.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Chu Ning said nothing more.
There are some things that she needs to figure out on her own, and besides, she is not a good talker. Don't lead the child astray, let her figure it out on her own.
"Sister, eldest sister! I can skate now, but I can skate now!"
"Sister! I can do it too!"
The two little girls were sweating profusely from running, and their little faces were red with excitement. They looked just like ripe little apples, not to mention how cute they were.
Chu Ning took out a handkerchief and wiped their sweat, "Go back. The sun won't be so warm after noon. Don't get cold again."
Chu Ran blinked his starry eyes and looked at her brightly, "Of course I still want to play."
This child has been weak since he was a child, and his diet was poor and his nutrition could not keep up. When he was three years old, he still had bean sprouts. Yes, they were wilted bean sprouts that could wither at any time.
Zhao Di and Chu Jing were very worried about her and did not dare to let her go out to play.
One is that she is afraid that she will be bullied, and the other is that she is afraid that she will be bumped, blown by the wind, or exposed to the sun. In short, she is very afraid that something will happen to her, so she has been hiding at home and has not come out to play much.
Now that Chu Ning is taking him to the mountains and to the town, he is acting wild and refuses to stay at home.
She took Chu Ning's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister, eldest sister, just play for a while. You see the sun is still very high."
Chu Tian also looked at Chu Ning longingly from the side, but she would not take the initiative to ask for it.
When Chu Ning was looked at by two people like this, he could not be so cruel, "Okay, okay, okay, we have said so, let's play for a while, otherwise if you cry, the eldest sister will not coax you."
Chu Ran's little face turned even redder when teased, "I don't know how to cry."
"Ha ha--"
Chu Tian and Chu Ran held hands and played again, running and laughing all the way, happily chatting with the two birds.
"It looks really interesting. Come on, let's go play."
Chu Jing is only ten years old, and she is still a child, but she worries about this and that all day long, like an old housekeeper, without any vitality.
Chu Ning thinks that children should look like children. They should eat and play. There is no need to waste so much time on what to do. If they really turn into an old woman, they will have no place to cry.
A little old woman suddenly popped into my mind. She was Chu Jing, who was hunched over, with silver hair and wrinkles on her face.
Uh~
Chu Ning shook his head and shook the little old woman out. Then she suddenly took Chu Jing's hand and smiled at her, "Second brother, do you want to compete with the eldest sister to see who can skate faster?"
Chu Jing was stunned.
Then her eyes lit up.
The four sisters played like crazy, and it wasn't until Chu Ran complained that she was hungry that she walked back with unfulfilled interest.
"Why are there so many people at the entrance of the village?"
"The salesman is here!"
From a distance, I saw a group of children jumping around one person, all looking very excited.
Hearing that he was a salesman, Chu Ran immediately became interested, "Sister, let's go and have a look too?"
Seeing her looking forward, Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you hungry again now?"
"Well, I'm still hungry..."
The little girl was confused, frowning and somewhat undecided.
Chu Ning burst out laughing, "Go if you want to. Anyway, it won't be long, otherwise you will have to worry about it when you get home."
Meeting this salesman reminded her of something. Chu Ning turned to Chu Jing and said, "From now on, I will give you fifty cash pocket money every month. Well, the third and fourth child each have twenty cash, and the two of them
I’m still young, so I don’t need too many, so I don’t feel bad if I accidentally throw them away.”
Chu Jing was surprised, "Why did eldest sister give me money?"
"Pocket money, you are all grown up and you should have some money in your hands. If something happens or you buy something or something, you won't have to face difficulties."
Chu Jing quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no need to give me money. Sister has bought so many things and there is nothing missing. It is useless for me to ask for money."
Chu Ning said, "Sister gave it to you, just take it. You can save the money or buy things if you want to. This money is given to you, and it's up to you to decide."
Seeing her persistence, Chu Ning didn't say anything again.
To be honest, it feels really good to have money.
After getting the copper plate, Chu Ning couldn't get enough of it. Chu Tian and Chu Ran were also very happy, "One, two, three, four, five, six... twelve, ten, fifteen
Originally, Chu Ran was clamoring to buy pine nut candies, but after Chu Ning gave her the money, she was reluctant to spend it. She just looked at the items in the seller's load and said she wanted to go home.
It’s not like I just came back and couldn’t wait to get on the kang.
Count money.
As a result, Chu Ning was almost tortured by her and went crazy.
This little girl looks so smart, but why is it so difficult to count?
Chu Jing lit a fire and prepared to cook some millet porridge in a clay pot, and then make it a meal with snacks, otherwise it would be late at night.
In the past, I had no choice but to endure it hard, but now that Chu Ning is here, I will naturally not let the children suffer that kind of pain again.
In order to replenish their health, she bought a lot of good things. She could eat them in different ways for seven or eight days.
"Second brother, wash some red dates and put them on."
"knew."
With the red wolf around, it was easy for them to eat meat, but Chu Ning did not let them eat meat all the time. The stomachs of the children were really too weak, and they needed to be taken care of well without being too burdened.
One meal of meat a day is a lot.
Of course, it is not good to eat too much at night, but in order to replenish Chu Shouli's health, he could only save the meat for the evening meal.
Just as Chu Jing was about to wash the dates, Mrs. Qin came in with a sullen face, "Your aunt is here, and your grandparents asked them to go to the bedroom to have dinner."
Chu Jing was a little unbelievable, "What did mom say? Grandma asked us to have lunch together?"
