Chapter 313

Ningning happily reached out her hand first, but in the end she failed to get what she wanted.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at his grandmother in front of him, completely stunned.

"Grandma Lu, I...I don't have any cherries." Ningning blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Grandma Lu with a face full of grievance, and said softly.

After hearing this, Grandma Lu didn't show the slightest embarrassment on her face.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she responded slowly: "You have already eaten a lot of cakes, so I guess you can't eat anything else!"

Then, Grandma Lu pointed at the few cherries and continued, "Besides, there are only so many cherries. You'd better not eat them. You can take this opportunity to lose some weight!"

After saying that, she picked up the biscuits that looked a little dry in front of the table and pushed them directly in front of Ningning.

"If you are really greedy and want to eat something, then try this cookie." Grandma Lu said as she looked Ningning up and down with a look full of disgust.

Ningning looked down at the unappealing cookie and suddenly felt an urge to throw it away.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that his father had repeatedly reminded him not to waste food.

So, Ningning bit her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress her inner dissatisfaction and grievance. Her eyes gradually turned red and tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Finally, Ningning curled her lips reluctantly and slowly reached out to put the biscuits back on the table.

At this moment, he looked as if he would burst into tears in the next second.

Soon, Ningning's clear eyes were filled with crystal clear tears, as if at the slightest touch, these tears would pour down like a flood.

Grandma Lu, who had been watching this scene closely, naturally saw this heartbreaking scene.

However, there was no trace of pity or heartache in her eyes, only endless indifference and ridicule, as if she was full of disdain for everything that was happening before her eyes.

Leng Jingshen sneered when he saw this from the pavilion upstairs.

At this time, Mr. Lu, who was watching all this, couldn't help but feel annoyed and regretful.

He wondered to himself, why did he invite the Lu family in the first place?

Now that such trouble has arisen, I just hope Leng Jingshen won't let his anger get directed towards their Lu family.

Thinking of this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but feel a splitting headache.

At this moment, Leng Jingshen stood up and walked towards the stage with steady and powerful steps.

At the same time, Ningning's tears, which were about to burst out, were finally forced back by him.

Suddenly, two bright red cherries, as tempting as gems, appeared in front of him.

It turned out that the two little guys, Sui Sui and Niannian, handed the cherries in their hands to him.

"Brother will give it to you. I don't like this, so don't cry!" Sui Sui carefully stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little hand and gently stroked Ningning's head, comforting her in a soft voice.

Immediately afterwards, Niannian, not to be outdone, grabbed Ningning's hand, and then without hesitation stuffed the juicy cherry in his hand into Ningning's mouth.

Faced with such thoughtful actions from her brothers, Ningning could no longer suppress her inner emotions.

He opened his mouth slightly and took a bite of the sweet cherry. A rich fruity aroma instantly filled his mouth...

Suisui stared at Grandma Lu in front of him seriously and said firmly, "Grandma Lu, if you really don't have that many fruits to share with everyone, then don't force it."

"As for whether other people can eat so much, I'm not sure, but there will be no problem with my Ningning. He is fat, but the baby fat is a little more obvious." After saying that, Suisui gently touched Ningning's head.

Then he continued, "If your family doesn't even have the money to buy more cherries, just say so."

"I can ask my dad to buy it. Anyway, my family may lack anything except money."

"And my father always said that even if he let someone down, he would never let my mother and our three children down!" When he said this, Sui Sui raised his chin proudly.

At this time, Nian Nian also came over, tightly protecting Ning Ning, and shouted to Grandma Lu with wide eyes: "That's right, when we were queuing just now, Ning Ning was clearly in the front, and he was the first to reach out for the fruit."

"But you don't seem to like Ningning very much. If that's the case, then you can just not give us any at all. Sui Sui and I don't care about your fruits anyway!"

Finally, Niannian emphasized: "Ningning is my brother, it's not your turn to lecture me here!"

A group of children around seven or eight years old gathered at the scene. The most eye-catching among them were the triplets. Although they were a little younger, they had amazingly delicate faces and cute looks.

What’s even more rare is that these three little guys don’t have any of those annoying naughty habits. Their every move appears to be well-behaved and sensible, making them particularly lovable.

The children around took the initiative to hand the cherries in their hands to Ningning.

Some children found out that they had just taken a bite of the cherry and looked embarrassed, wondering whether to give it to Ningning.

Lu Ximing, who was standing nearby, was also facing the same dilemma. He looked down at the bitten cherry in his hand, feeling embarrassed.

Suddenly, he remembered what his grandparents had said to him before, that he was the little master of the house and must treat these little guests well.

So, Lu Ximing took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at Ningning firmly, and comforted her gently: "Ningning, don't worry, wait here for a while."

"I'll run home right away and tell our housekeeper to send someone out to buy fresh cherries for you."

"Is one box enough? If not, I'll ask them to buy a few more boxes and you can take them home and eat them slowly."

"Ningning, what else do you want to eat? Just tell me and I'll buy them all for you!" Lu Ximing patted his strong chest proudly and looked at the lovely Ningning in front of him with a doting face.

Ning Ning's eyes, which were originally filled with tears, suddenly lit up. He quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his little hands and replied obediently, "Thank you, Brother Lu, but it's really not necessary. I am very happy to eat what Brother gives me."

"Besides, my grandmother's house has a big orchard. Next time I go there, I will pick lots of fresh fruits for you to try!"

Lu Ximing smiled and nodded gently, "Okay, then I'll wait for Xiao Ningning to give me some fruit! Come to think of it, I've never picked fruit myself since I was a child. It's really interesting to think about it."

At this moment, other children nearby also came over.

One of the little boys couldn't wait to raise the bright red cherries in his hand and handed them to Ningning, saying in a baby voice: "Ningning, I want some too! This cherry is for you, and remember to pick some for me when the time comes! My family members said that the vegetables and fruits in your house are super delicious!"

Since Ningning's two hands were full, the little boy simply stuffed the cherries into Ningning's pockets.

Then another child came forward and said, "Yes, yes, Ningning, the vegetables your mother grows are so delicious! I'll give you all my cherries, as long as you can take us to your house to taste those delicious vegetables!"

Before he finished speaking, more children gathered around, scrambling to hand the cherries in their hands to Ningning, and kept muttering, "I want to eat some, too. I've only eaten them once before, I really want to eat them again..."

For a moment, the three little guys were surrounded by this group of enthusiastic friends, and the scene was very lively.

Ningning's little mouth was stuffed full, and her cheeks were bulging like a cute little squirrel.

When the fruit could no longer fit in, he began to distribute the excess fruit to Suisui and Niannian.

Because of the irresistible temptation of vegetables, some children even handed their bitten cherries to Sui Sui without hesitation, looking forward to following him home to taste the delicious vegetables.

Just then, a shout came from the yard: "Ningning!"

It turned out that Leng Jingshen had not yet walked out of the yard and was still in the hall, but the anxious call had already come over impatiently.

When Ningning heard the familiar voice, she immediately turned around and saw her grandfather walking towards her quickly.

He was so excited that he ran towards his grandfather like a happy little deer, raised the cherries in his hand high, and shouted happily: "Grandpa! Look, these are the fruits given to me by my brothers and sisters. Eat them!"

Leng Jingshen quickly squatted down and said gently: "My dear, Ningning can eat it by herself, Grandpa won't eat it."

After saying that, he looked at his little grandson carefully and found that although Ningning's eyes, which were originally swollen from crying, were still a little red, her face was filled with an innocent smile, and it was obvious that she was not too sad about the incident with Mrs. Lu before.

Leng Jingshen breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the three grandchildren beside him. He saw that their pockets were also filled with red cherries.

As long as the children are fine, he will feel relieved.

However, for what happened today, all the accounts that need to be settled must be settled...

Seeing his grandfather coming over, Lu Ximing came over a little embarrassedly, "Grandpa, I made Ningning feel wronged."

"I'll ask the housekeeper to buy Ningning a lot of cherries for him to eat later." Lu Ximing looked at him and said.
