Chapter 192: Does Your Mother Have No Private Money?
Holding the dog's tail grass in her hand, He Xiner walked slowly. Suddenly, she felt uneasy about being stared at. He Xiner's heart beat a little faster. She turned her head and looked back. There was no one on the road. Could it be?
Thinking too much?
Just as she was thinking about whether to run away, she heard Ye Yuanyuan’s voice from far away: “Er Ni, Er Ni”
Why?
Why do you still call me Erni?
Oh, I haven’t told my friends yet after I changed my name!
Ye Yuanyuan was in the front, and Guan Cuizhi was in the back, also shouting "Er Ni, Er Ni"
Seeing her friend, He Xiner's tense heart instantly relaxed. She looked back and saw that there was indeed no one there, but she no longer felt like she was being stared at.
Shake your head and stop thinking about it.
He trotted over to meet his friends, "Cuizhi, Yuanyuan, I was just looking for you."
"Er Ni, look at my hands, they look like old tree bark, woo woo"
Not caring about the heat, Ye Yuanyuan sold miserably first~
"This girl is here again"
Kwan Cuizhi joked later, "No matter who I meet, the first thing I do is extend my hand to show them, as if someone can look better with just a word of comfort!"
"You don't mind the pain in your back even if you stand and talk. Your mother has raised you to be white and tender. How can you know how hard I am!"
He Xiner's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she suppressed a smile, "What did you do?"
"We are rolling the corn kernels at home! My grandma said that women do the work of rolling the corn kernels. All the corn kernels in the house are rolled by my mother, my aunts, and my cousins."
So that’s it!
He Xiner thought that the reason why she and her mother didn't do this job was really thanks to her eldest aunt, oh, my former aunt~
Guan Cuizhi consoled her: "It will be ready after the winter."
"It's not that easy, ugh! I'm so pitiful."
Seeing her say this, He Xiner felt uncomfortable: "If you come out to play, your grandma won't talk about you, right?"
"I've pretty much done all the housework now. My mother lets me play."
"Well, that's good"
Pulling Ye Yuanyuan's little hand, He Xiner took a closer look and saw that the originally delicate little hand was indeed much rougher. The weather was still warm, but there was no deep wound. It was just dry and rough to the touch.
"Soak your hands in hot water at night, and if you have some facial oil, apply it a few times."
"Really? But I don't have facial fat?"
Ye Yuanyuan's face was happy at first, but then she drooped her head. Her mother had no money and couldn't buy it for her.
Suddenly he raised his head and asked Cuizhi, "Cuizhi, how much did your mother buy you for the face cream?"
"I remember my mother said it cost 40 cents. She bought it from a Hongyan store that specializes in rouge and gouache. My mother said the things inside were valuable and this is the cheapest."
"Ah? The cheapest one costs forty cents?"
"Yes, but they are also sold in grocery stores, so they should be much cheaper."
"It's useless to be cheap. I don't have a single copper."
"That's true. Doesn't your mother have any private money?"
"My grandma is very smart. My mother and four aunts can't even think of hiding a single coin."
Isn't it a bit too rude to talk about private money in the village in broad daylight?
Since it is private money, of course it is behind someone’s back?
He Xiner was made to laugh and cry by these two silly girls, "Let's go to the foot of the mountain. I'll tell you two something."
"What's the matter? Can't you talk about it here?"
Ye Yuanyuan and Guan Cuizhi both looked at her curiously, which made He Xiner feel a little helpless, "Well, let's talk as we walk."
"Well, well, tell me"
As soon as she lifted her feet, Ye Yuanyuan couldn't help it anymore and shook He Xiner's arm to urge her.
Haha, I know her temperament is like this.
"The first thing is, I changed my name. From now on, I will be called Ye Xiner. You guys call me Xiner, and don't call me Erni anymore."
"What?"
"ah!?"
Ye Yuanyuan and Guan Cuizhi raised their voices at the same time, screaming at He Xiner's left and right, almost deafening He Xiner's ears!
He Xiner helplessly covered her ears with her hands, "I seem to be deaf!" This chapter has been completed!
