"This little guy rolls his eyes and has his own way with me. I like it!"
Sheng Ziyi took off a white jade bracelet from her hand and put it in Xiao Niannian's arms.
"This is the finest mutton-fat white jade. Just treat it as a meeting gift. It's really a bargain for you girl!"
"No, Ziyi, this is too expensive!"
Li Rulan wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Sheng Ziyi's look.
"It's not for you, I'm for this girl."
Xiao Niannian grabbed the white jade bracelet with her little hands. The bracelet was still warm and the color was transparent without any trace of color. It was smooth and comfortable to touch. You could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.
This aunt's hobby is a bit weird. She actually likes to watch people roll their eyes.
However, I got a valuable bracelet just by rolling my eyes. If I rolled my eyes a few more times, would I be able to get something better?
Sheng Ziyi accidentally glanced at Xiao Niannian and found that she was rolling her eyes as if convulsing, which startled her.
"Ru Lan, look quickly, this child has convulsions!"
Li Rulan was also startled, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat Xiao Niannian's face in an attempt to interrupt her convulsions.
"Niannian, Niannian, what's wrong with you?"
It was really a waste of money. Xiao Niannian stopped and rolled her eyes angrily.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have rolled my eyes and got slapped twice for nothing.
Rolling her eyes is very tiring for a baby who is not yet full-term, right?
She also wanted to make some money for her family by doing this. It was already very hard to take on the responsibility of supporting the family at such a young age.
What's more, he was misunderstood as having convulsions, and the baby felt aggrieved...
Sheng Ziyi looked at Xiao Niannian's aggrieved face and suddenly thought of something, and asked with surprise: "Ru Lan, do you think she rolled her eyes on purpose so that I could give her more bracelets?"
Enemy! Xiao Niannian shouted in her heart, someone finally understood what she meant.
Li Rulan smiled and shook her head, "You are overthinking. She is just a child who is not yet one month old. How can she be so smart?"
Sheng Ziyi was speechless. Do you call this smart? Do you think she was taken advantage of?
However, she always felt something was wrong, so she lowered her head and stared at Xiao Niannian carefully.
When Xiao Niannian saw this, she quickly giggled and performed a series of spit bubbles for her.
She was careless just now and almost exposed her secret for a little money, but now she had to pretend to be stupid to fool him.
Sheng Ziyi frowned in disgust, feeling that her idea just now was so stupid. What could such a young child understand?
"Look at how stupid this girl is. Wipe the drool off her face! Go back and ask your Shen Zhengwen to show her. She rolls her eyes and spits at other times. Don't be such a fool."
You are the fool, and your whole family is fools!
Xiao Niannian silently drew circles in her heart and scolded Sheng Ziyi's whole family.
"But..." Sheng Ziyi looked at Xiao Niannian again, feeling that this little appearance was a bit familiar.
There is also this silly energy that is a bit familiar.
"But what?" Li Rulan asked.
"It's nothing, I just think this kid looks quite similar to you, especially the big eyes." Sheng Ziyi didn't think much about it, just thinking that this familiar feeling came from Li Rulan.
Li Rulan was silent after hearing this, thinking about whether to tell Xiao Niannian's life experience.
Just when she was about to say something, Sheng Ziyi opened a cloth bag she was carrying with her and took out things one by one from inside.
"Here, this is my gift to you. And these snacks are for the children."
She took out a lot of tonics, brown sugar, and some snacks.
Hmm? Desserts!
Xiao Niannian looked at the pile of snacks eagerly, only regretting that she was a baby now and could not eat anything except milk.
"Ziyi..." Li Rulan didn't refuse, but looked at the gifts all over the bed, swallowing her head and not knowing what to say.
"Oh, don't cry. I hate seeing you cry the most." Sheng Ziyi consoled her, "These things don't matter. If you hadn't refused, I would have brought your whole family to the city to live a good life."
Li Rulan burst into tears and smiled, "You come to see me often and bring so many gifts. We are already very grateful. How dare you ask for so much."
"Oh, you!" Sheng Ziyi shook her head helplessly, stood up and said, "Okay, take good care of yourself. I still have something to do, so I will go back first."
"Why are you leaving so soon?" Li Rulan was reluctant to leave, but she also knew that Sheng Ziyi had a stubborn streak and wanted to get up and see her off.
"You don't have to get up, and you don't have to be reluctant to leave." Sheng Ziyi pushed her back, "I have bought the vacant yard next to you, and I will move here in a while. Then we will have plenty of time to talk."
"Why did you move here?" Li Rulan was surprised when he heard this, "This place is so remote, how do you get used to living here?"
"It's a long story." There was a hint of bitterness in Sheng Ziyi's eyes, "Both my brother and sister-in-law have died, leaving only a frail and sick child who needs to rest. I thought about it, and there is no place more suitable for rest than Taoli Village.
, Besides, we can also look after each other with you.”
"Zi Yi..." Li Rulan wanted to comfort her.
"It's okay, I've never seen any big winds or waves." Sheng Ziyi interrupted her and pretended to be innocent with a smile.
"You can rest in peace and take care of yourself. I'm leaving first."
Watching her leaving, Li Rulan thought that she should wait until the next time they meet before telling her about Xiao Niannian's life experience.
Sheng Ziyi had just left for a while when Shen Zhengwen walked in with two bowls of warm goat milk.
Seeing that Sheng Ziyi was no longer in the room, he asked doubtfully: "Did Mrs. Sheng leave so soon? Why didn't I talk to you more about old times?"
Li Rulan explained: "She had something to do and went back first, but she said she would move next door to us in a few days. It won't be too late to talk to her then."
"Move here?" Shen Zhengwen showed worry on his face, "But there is a serious water shortage here, and our wells are almost out of water. If she moves here, her life will be inconvenient."
Li Rulan was shocked, "Is the water shortage already so severe?"
No matter how dry it was outside in previous years, Taoli Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has abundant water sources, so it will never be greatly affected.
But this year's drought has lasted for more than half a year. The drought outside is gradually getting better, but it is getting worse in Taoli Village. This is really abnormal.
"Yes, if this continues, drinking water will become a problem." Shen Zhengwen nodded seriously, "Now everyone is looking forward to a snowfall to relieve the urgent need, but looking at the weather, I'm afraid it won't happen this year.
It’s going to snow.”
The room fell into silence, both husband and wife were worried about the uncertain future, and little Niannian, who was lying on the bed, also felt a different atmosphere.
She secretly decided in her heart that she would eat more in the next few days.
Then, give everyone a big surprise. This chapter has been completed!
