The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 224 I Believe It Myself

Chapter 224 I Believe It Myself

It turns out that my wife is of the same mind as me and we think the same way.

Zhuang Yonghe laughed and said, "That's the right thing to do. Don't let Ning send it here tomorrow. I'll go get her. There are quite a lot of bean seeds, and they're quite heavy. It's too tiring to carry them around."

"Okay." He stood up and said, "I'll go mix the dough. You can take a break and help me light the stove so that we can make scallion pancakes tonight."

"Hey." Zhuang Yonghe agreed and drank two more sips of herbal tea. ——After Zhuang Qingning returned home, he cooked crispy pork and garlic eggplant.

After the two dishes were ready, Zhuang Minghao came trotting over with two large scallion pancakes wrapped in a basket cloth in his hand.

There are enough layers, the chopped green onions are fragrant, the crust is crispy enough, and you can even smell the fragrant aroma of sesame oil. I guess some sesame oil was added.

Sesame oil is rare, and He is usually very frugal. I remember that in the past, she would only drop a few drops of it into cold dishes during festivals. This time, she put so much, probably because these two cakes were sent to her, so she was willing to spend so much.

"It's so big, I'm afraid Qingsui and I won't be able to finish it." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"Mom said to bring more. If we can't finish it, we don't have to make cakes to eat tomorrow morning." Zhuang Minghao smiled and said, "Then you guys hurry up and eat. The cakes at home are almost ready. I have to go back to eat. If I go back late, my parents will think I'm running around and playing around, and they will scold me."

"Don't be in a hurry to leave." Zhuang Qingning scooped a small bowl of the crispy meat from the small porcelain bowl and said, "Take it back and wrap it with pancakes. I happened to make a lot and wanted to send some home. Since you happened to be here, I'll take some back."

"No, no, when I came here, my mother specifically told me not to accept any favors from you, Sister Ning." Zhuang Minghao just smiled and said, "Otherwise, when I go back, they will say that I accepted it because I was greedy. Sister Ning, you can't just watch me get scolded."

Zhuang Minghao usually loves to smile and laugh, and his words at this moment were also very frivolous, but his words were the most serious ones, and they made people feel comfortable to hear.

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Just take it if I give it to you. When you go back, just say I asked you to take it. If your uncle or aunt wants to talk about it, just say it's me."

"And this thing is not given for free. Help me do something in the next two days."

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Minghao blinked and patted his chest when he heard this: "Don't worry about it, as long as Sister Ning tells me to do it, I will make sure it's done for you."

"Even if it can't be done, I will try my best to find someone who can do it for you. Sister Ning, leave it to me, don't worry!"

"It seems I found the right person." Zhuang Qingning laughed. "It's not a big deal. Qingsui and I are thinking about moving to a new house. It's lonely at home, so we want to get a cat or a dog. If you are not busy these days, go to the village and ask around to see if any cat or dog has made a nest and is about to give birth. Ask Qingsui for me."

"What was the difficult thing I couldn't do at that time? It turned out to be this."

Zhuang Minghao raised his chin high and said, "Sister Ning, don't worry about it. Leave it to me. I'm not exaggerating. I know all the cats in the two or three villages nearby, not to mention those in our village, which ones have powerful cats, which ones have stupid dogs, and which ones have good-looking and docile cats. I promise to find you a good-looking and docile one."

"Sister Ning's words reminded me of this. I heard Daniu mention it last time. He said that his aunt's cat had made a nest. I guess it happened in the past few days. I'll go ask for you tomorrow."

"Okay, just ask when you have time. I'll leave this matter to you. When you're done, I'll buy you some sesame candy." Zhuang Qingsui patted Zhuang Minghao's little head.

"Okay, leave it to me." Zhuang Minghao laughed and said, "Sister Ning, you can have dinner with Qingsui. I'm going home first."

"Go ahead, run slowly on the road and don't fall."

As soon as Zhuang Qingning finished speaking, Zhuang Minghao had disappeared, and a voice floated over from outside the wall: "Okay..."

It runs faster than a rabbit.

Zhuang Qingning shook his head helplessly and smiled, then ate a delicious dinner with Zhuang Qingsui.

The next day, when they arrived in town, after being busy for a while, Zhuang Qingning found an excuse to go out. When he came back, he was holding a heavy sack in his hand.

"What is this?" Zhuang Qingsui looked at the bulging and heavy sack and became curious.

"Bean seeds." Zhuang Qingning said, "I found a place where I can buy good bean seeds. I was thinking about Uncle Yonghe and Aunt He's family who don't have enough bean seeds. I'll bring some back when I go back."

"I think these bean seeds are good. I'll ask him to send some more to our house tomorrow."

The most difficult thing about something that comes out of nowhere is to explain its origin. After much thought, Zhuang Qingning could only make up a false merchant and say that he bought it from him. When asked who it was, he said it was from the provincial capital. He didn't remember anything else and could just make an excuse.

When he woke up in the morning, he got up earlier than Zhuang Qingsui. After taking the things from Xiaowu, he piled them at the door and told Zhuang Qingsui that someone had just delivered them.

Since everyone was so busy, no one bothered to investigate the matter and it was just passed over.

Zhuang Qingning felt that the explanation he had come up with was feasible, and he had become very skilled at telling this kind of lie before. Now, when he told the lie, his face did not turn red, his heart did not beat fast, and he even felt justified.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

I almost believe what you said!

In Zhuang Qingsui's eyes, everything his sister did was right. He didn't think too much about it and just nodded: "Yeah."

Thinking that Zhang Qiuying and Cao's families no longer had any land, and that planting beans would only make them sad, Zhuang Qingning did not say much.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Qingning rode Zhuang Sifu's ox cart to transport the bean seeds home.

When I arrived at the door of my house, Zhuang Yonghe happened to be walking this way.

"What a coincidence. I was just coming over to see if you had come back and ask if the bean seeds had returned. If you had, I would bring them back so you don't have to carry them back home again." Zhuang Yonghe said with a smile.

"I was just saying to ask Brother Sifu to drive the ox cart directly to the door of our house. Uncle, you happened to be here. Take a look at the bean seeds and see how much we need at home."

As Zhuang Qingning spoke, he untied the hemp rope tied around the mouth of the sack and revealed the bean seeds inside.

Zhuang Yonghe's eyes widened as he took a look. He casually reached out and grabbed a handful and examined them carefully. "These bean seeds are not only large in size, but also round and solid. They look good. There are not even any shrunken or bad ones. They are much better than the bean seeds we have at home."

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, have you finished eating the leftovers at home?
