On Sunday, Chen Jingnian went out early, carrying his daughter on his back, Chinese medicine in his pocket, and three polished hairpins in his arms.
The streets were very messy. Many people were digging drainage ditches and culverts near their homes, leaving streets, alleys, and alleys filled with putrid mud.
This is not organized voluntary labor, but Taobao.
In August this year, after a heavy rainstorm, parts of Sijiucheng and its suburbs were hit by a catastrophic flood.
Floods submerged more than 10,000 houses, and the city's bus system was completely paralyzed.
Major traffic arteries including Wangfujing, Chang'an Street, and Xinhuamen have accumulated more than half a meter of water, causing huge economic and property losses.
After the flood, municipal workers have been sorting out the drainage facilities in Sijiu City.
Just a few days ago, some workers found a lot of silver coins, gold bars, and silver ingots in a culvert in Beicheng.
After the workers handed in all these findings, they received commendations and awards from superior departments.
This greatly stimulated the young and old men and women in the Forty-Nine Cities, which is why such a spectacular treasure hunting activity was formed for thousands of people.
Wearing masks, Chen Jingnian and Nannan carefully avoided the turquoise quagmire and went straight to Zhao Changshun's home.
Ge Yuqin, who came out to open the door, immediately burst into laughter when she saw the brother and sister Chen Jinnian. She turned around, put down the knitting needles in her hands, and called out "Baby Girl" one after another.
"Godmother, I miss you so much!"
Nannan hugged Ge Yuqin's neck and spoke softly.
"Oh, my godmother misses you too!"
Ge Yuqin hugged and pulled each one, feeling extremely happy.
"Godmother, here's my godfather."
Chen Jingnian closed the door and looked inside.
"There's something going on at the bureau. I got up early and left. Come on, come in quickly. Have you two had breakfast?"
Ge Yuqin hugged her daughter, greeted Chen Jingnian, and walked into the house.
"The toasted steamed buns my brother made for me are so crispy!"
"Ever since the factory asked me to fetch vegetables and rice every day, this little girl is almost tired of eating steamed buns."
Chen Jingnian took his daughter from Ge Yuqin's arms, put her on the ground, and then said: "How old are you, and you are still pestering your godmother."
"Godmother, let me give you a piece of candy!"
Nannan threw herself on Ge Yuqin's lap and took out a piece of toffee from her pocket.
"Nanny, you are so filial. My godmother won't eat it. My godmother has a toothache in the past two days."
Ge Yuqin hugged her daughter into her arms and kissed her twice more.
"Don't be fooled, she wants to eat another piece for herself!"
Chen Jinnian took out the wishful hairpin from his pocket, handed it to Ge Yuqin's hand, and said, "Godmother, I carved a hairpin for you when I have nothing to do. See if you like it."
"Our daughter is a good and sensible child. She knows that eating too much sugar is bad for our teeth."
While Ge Yuqin protected her daughter's filial piety, she also warned her in subtle ways.
"So lovely!"
Ge Yuqin took the hairpin and liked it very much.
When I got excited, I started to criticize my biological son in front of my godson: "Axe, you are much better than your brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law is just a good talker."
In this era, few women wear gold and silver, and there are very few women's accessories. Wearing a good-looking headband or a leather sheath can make you look pretty for a while.
"I'll pin it on for you."
Chen Jingnian saw that Ge Yuqin had been fiddling with it for a long time without tying her hair tightly, so he stepped forward and took the hairpin, rolled it up and tied Ge Yuqin's hair into a nice bun.
"Hey! My son is still very handy, really good!"
Ge Yuqin stood next to the cabinet, picked up a round mirror, looked around, and shouted happily.
"It's just for fun. You have thick hair and it looks good in this way. I also carved one for my sister. You can keep it for her too."
"My brother also carved a little bunny for me!"
Seeing her brother and godmother talking animatedly, Nannan hurriedly answered.
"My daughter looks better with a little rabbit."
Ge Yuqin pinched Nannan's cheek. Seeing that Nannan's little face was already a little fleshy, she felt very comforted.
"Godmother, I want to discuss something with you."
Chen Jinnian pulled Ge Yuqin to sit on the chair and said.
"Tell me, godmother will make the decision for you if you have something to do."
Ge Yuqin has a cheerful temperament, and nothing is difficult in her eyes.
"Godmother, you see, I am learning to show movies now. My master wants me to master the projection technology as soon as possible and accumulate the required number of times to advance to the exam.
He wanted me to follow him to the countryside to show movies, and also to help repair the equipment of several projection teams in the commune. In this way, even if I participated in every movie screening, the movies shown by each projection team would be able to
Count it in my screenings.”
Chen Jinnian observed Ge Yuqin's expression as he spoke and was not in a hurry to reveal his main purpose.
"This is a good thing!"
"But this trip will take ten days and a half, and there is no one to take care of my daughter and my fifth uncle at home."
When Chen Jingnian said this, he paused in pretense, and then continued: "My fifth uncle said that he wanted my sister and my brother-in-law to temporarily move to his West Room, but because I mentioned this to you before...
..”
"That's it!"
Ge Yuqin tapped the palm of her hand with the hairpin and frowned.
"Godmother, last time I went to my sister's house, I saw her holding two chairs against the door. Is there something wrong? I asked, but my sister didn't say anything."
"Ah, it's okay. There was a bastard in your sister's place. Your sister was a little scared at home, so she locked the door."
A trace of hesitation flashed across Ge Yuqin's face, and she grasped the hairpin hard.
"Godmother, even if I beg you, think about it that my daughter is getting older now, and I really don't know how to teach her some things."
"Brother, I can learn by myself! My teacher always praises me!"
When Nannan heard what her brother said, she immediately boasted.
"Haha, Nannan!"
Ge Yuqin laughed, with a trace of determination in her eyes, and hugged her daughter and said: "Axe, godmother knows that you are in trouble, but I am not the one who has the final say on this matter. How about this, you and Nannan are waiting for your godfather here.
Come back with your brother-in-law and the others and discuss it with them. After all, this is a matter for their old Zhao family, and your godmother will help you when the time comes."
"Godmother, with your words, I think this matter is more than half settled!"
When Chen Jingnian saw Ge Yuqin nodding in agreement, he immediately laughed and said: "Godmother, if you are okay, just help me take care of my daughter. I also bought some Chinese medicine for my sixth uncle's father-in-law. I want to take advantage of my free time today."
, send the medicine to my sixth aunt."
"You are such a worry about your life! If you think about us and them, you also have to think about yourself."
Ge Yuqin hugged her daughter, nodded to Chen Jingnian, and then said: "Come back early, I can't say a few words to you every time I come."
"Hey, I'll send you there and I'll be back."
Chen Jinnian walked away as he spoke, mumbling: "If I don't come back, Jiang Yuning will kick me out!"
"That's because you offended Ning Ning. If not, who are you going to blast!"
"Who makes her always jealous of my sister? Godmother, I did this just to support your daughter-in-law!"
Chen Jinnian stood at the door, picked up his bag, and smiled at Ge Yuqin who was sending it out.
"This child from your sixth uncle's family is too jealous. He is already ugly, but he still has to compare with your sister."
Ge Yuqin helped Chen Jinnian adjust his collar and started laughing after saying that.
The Jiang Yuning mentioned by Chen Jinnian is Li Mancang's eldest daughter and the sister of the doggy Jiang Yuhai.
These two sisters are simply not born from the same parents. One is very mean-spirited and the other is very jealous.
It stands to reason that most boys look like their mothers and girls look like their fathers.
But in Li Mancang's house, the situation is reversed.
Gouzi and Li Mancang look like a father-in-law at first glance, and Jiang Yuning and his mother Jiang Shuhua look like a mother-in-law at first glance.
Jiang Yuning and Jiang Yuhai look nothing like siblings.
But as soon as the two siblings reach out, everyone will say that they are biological siblings.
Because the hands of these two people and Li Mancang's hands were simply cast from the same mold.
The fingers of the three of them are all very special, like small hammer heads, very short and round.
Jiang Yuning cried several times because of this matter, because she thought her hands were too ugly.
The reason why she cried was because she was angry with the original owner, so the jealous Jiang Yuning never wanted to see Chen Jinnian.
Chen Jingnian rode his bicycle out of the alley while summarizing his remarks for a while.
When passing by a supply and marketing cooperative, he got off the car and went in to buy a black elastic band about four feet wide and about the width of his hand, and two bottles of cream. This chapter has been completed!
