Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the greatest blessings in life, let alone meeting in another world that is several levels higher than the foreign land. Jane Ning once thought that this was tens of thousands of times more difficult than winning the lottery, but she didn't expect it to come true.

Logically, she should be very happy, and indeed she is happy, but... why does she feel a little melancholy?

She stood halfway up the slope until the man and the horse completely disappeared from her sight, then she picked up the bucket and slowly walked home.

In the yard, Dabao and his three younger sisters were picking up small pieces of garbage. The four little foxes had grown a little and looked more furry. Maoqiu and Yuanbao were very busy. They would follow Dabao and Sanniu's example and put the picked up garbage into the dustpan. They were very busy and happy.

The two pure white ones, Zhaocai and Jinbao, are probably the third and fourth children. They can recognize their owners, but they can’t help with the work. They just follow Da Niu and Er Niu around happily.

"Mom!" Seeing Jane Ning come in, the four little ones shouted in unison. The civet cat, who was originally dozing off on the chair, saw Jane Ning and immediately jumped off the chair with its tail raised like a flag, and walked towards Jane Ning with graceful steps.

Jane Ning put down the bucket, and it immediately jumped into the bucket, greedily drinking the remaining spiritual spring water.

This thing came here just for the spiritual spring water. Except for not being able to speak, it can understand whatever you say to it. Every morning, it follows Jane Ning to learn boxing in a very serious manner. It learns every move so well that Jane Ning would not be surprised if it turns into a human form one day.

"Mom will make ramen for you today. How about we eat ramen?" Jane Ning can make all kinds of noodles. Out of thirty days in a month, Grandma Wu's main dish is noodles for fifteen days, so she is even better at making noodles.

Wu Yanxu used to love the ramen she made.

The four little ones had only eaten noodles before, and they were whole grain noodles cooked with vegetables. They remembered that they tasted very bad, and they all looked uninterested.

"Mom, let me knead the dough. I've washed my hands." Dabao volunteered to knead the dough for her. Jian Ning patiently taught him. It's not a bad thing for boys to learn how to cook.

The dough needs to be proofed after being kneaded, and Jane Ning takes this time to make the meat sauce. In the past, whenever she entered the kitchen to cook, Ding Youtian would put down whatever he was doing and help her light the fire. This time, it was the big girl who came to light the fire.

"Where is your father?" Jane Ning asked casually.

"Dad is reading. Mom, is Dad going to take the exam again? Will Dad pass?"

"If he studies hard, he should be able to..."

If he failed to pass the examination to become a student even after taking Blind Liu as his teacher for the fourth time, Jian Ning felt that he could just die to atone for his sin!

Living was a waste of air and a waste of her food.

"Mom will send Dabao to school tomorrow. From now on, your brother will teach you every night. Erniu and Sanniu will also follow suit in two years. You all must learn to recognize words and cannot be blind. Mom will accompany you to study together, okay?"

"Really? I can study too?"

"If there's a girls' school, I'll send you there. If there isn't one, you can stay home and learn to read from your brother."

The girl thought for a while and said, "I won't go to school even if there is one. I'd rather learn to read with my brother so that I can help my mother with housework during the day."

Jian Ning smiled, "You have to go to a girls' school. I don't ask you to pass the exam to become a female scholar for me, but you must learn to read."

"I'm willing to learn to read. Once I learn to read, I can read storybooks. Daddy used to love reading storybooks. He always laughed out loud."

"Where did he get the money to buy the storybook? Oh, your master lent it to him, right?"

"Mom bought it for Dad. Mom, have you forgotten?"

"Ah? Oh, I didn't forget. Some of them were borrowed from your master."

Where did the original body get the money to buy him a storybook? Jian Ning quickly searched her memory bank, and after searching, she was speechless.

In the past, the Ding family sold tobacco leaves and coarse food, and the original body and Ding Youtian would go to the town together to sell them. She saw in her memory that every time the two of them finished selling the goods, the original body would give Ding Youtian a penny to buy storybooks, and occasionally buy Ding Youtian some snacks.

On the way back, Ding Youtian read the storybook to his original body as he walked. The original body, carrying the load on his shoulder, would feed him from time to time, but he himself was reluctant to eat a single bite. How could they be a couple? They were just raising a cub.

“Chop, chop, chop…”

Jian Ning chopped the meat harder than ever before, feeling sorry for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit. Why did he have to live such a humiliating life?

"Mom, are you unhappy?" the big girl suddenly asked.

"No, is mother unhappy?"

"Mom seems unhappy after coming back from watering the plants. Is it because Dad didn't help her water the plants? Is Mom angry with Dad?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just a few acres of land. Mom can water it all by herself. Mom is not angry. Mom is very happy. We have so many orders for our wine today. Mom is very happy."

However, the big girl reminded Jian Ning that Ding Youtian seemed to have ignored her the whole afternoon. Usually, he would follow her when she went to water the plants, and he would also light the fire when she cooked. Did she offend him in some way?

No way. He broke off family ties and asked her to give him a hundred taels of silver, but she gave it to him immediately without blinking. What reason did he have to be angry with her?

Unable to figure it out, Jane Ning was too lazy to think about it anymore. Let him go. She was not her original self, so she would not indulge him.

After the meat sauce was cooked, Jian Ning went to make the noodles. The four little ones gathered around the table and watched as she tossed and folded the dough into long, thin strands of vermicelli. They were all amazed. After the noodles were put into the pot and scooped into bowls, topped with the meat sauce, the four little ones all let out a "hmm" sound of unusual satisfaction.

Du Ding Youtian had a blank expression on his face, but after eating he took the initiative to clean up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.

Erniu: "Daddy doesn't even talk to Mommy."

Sanniu: "It's Mom who doesn't talk to Dad."

Big Girl: "Daddy doesn't talk to Mommy, and Mommy doesn't talk to Daddy either."

Dabao: “Is there any difference?”

Jian Ning: "You little kids, don't make wild guesses. Daddy is tired from reading, and sometimes he talks less when he's tired. Who of you should go to Master's house to see why Master hasn't come to eat yet? Why don't you four go together and ask Master to come over for some noodles."

After the four little ones left, Jian Ning went to the kitchen and said directly to Ding Youtian, "I don't care what's wrong with you. Manage your emotions in front of the children at home. Don't let them think that we're not getting along. It will hurt them emotionally. If I did something wrong and you feel hurt, you can tell me directly. Don't try to fool me. I don't have time to play tricks with you. If you do this again, I'll be angry. I'll be very angry, and the consequences will be serious. You can handle it yourself!"

Ding Youtian had actually long since gotten over the fact that she had given Huo Jincheng the injection. He just wanted to see if his Xiu Gu still cared about his feelings and if she could sense his presence. Seeing her come over with a stern face and talk to him about this, he was overjoyed. His phoenix eyes lit up as he looked at Jian Ning.

"How serious is it? My lady, you have to let your husband feel it before you can know." After saying that, he dipped his hands in the clean water, shook his hands, and made a gesture to step forward to hug Jian Ning.
