Originally, Zhao Zhengrong wanted to pay a visit today, and specifically asked Guan Yulan what he should bring.
But Guan Yulan suggested that he do it another day.
Although she and Liu Chunmei were not born of the same mother, the amazing thing is that they not only have the same birthday, but also were born at almost the same time. They have been very close to each other since childhood.
So today is Liu Chunmei's birthday, and all the family members must be here. It is not a good time for outsiders to visit.
Ning Xi looked at Liu Chunmei and felt that she was loved by everyone, and she reflected deeply on her own behavior.
Her uncle's family cared about her and treated her well instinctively. Even though they knew she was not Ning Zhibai's biological daughter, they did not change their attitude and did not ask her to hand over her salary or do anything in return.
In fact, she herself is not cold-hearted.
Just like getting a health pill, her first thought was not to buy a big price for it, but naturally thought of her uncle rubbing her waist from time to time, and Liu Chunmei coming home every day complaining of leg pain...
Ning Xi's personality was not formed in a day or two.
In her previous life, her parents gave her life but did not teach her how to love others.
Since she was a child, she has been taught the idea that her parents have their own families and she is redundant, so she must please her parents and be sweet-talker in order to have money to spend.
Before every call, her grandparents would teach her what to say.
First, you have to say that you miss your father and mother, then you can ask about whether your father and mother are doing well, and then you can cry to your father and mother about having no money.
It would be better to sublimate it further. The school held another parent-teacher conference, and she was the only one to attend with her grandparents. The other children had toys and beautiful clothes...
This is to stimulate parents' guilt in exchange for more money.
Ning Xi couldn't say that her grandparents were wrong. Their intentions were good, and they had saved all the money they had asked for since she was a child, which amounted to more than 500,000 yuan.
But when she was naughty, her grandparents would not beat or scold her, but would just say: "If you weren't my son's child, I would have given up on you a long time ago!"
When a dog bit off a piece of her flesh, instead of caring about her first, they scolded her for being troublesome and preventing them from enjoying their retirement with peace of mind.
Ning Xi has loved money since she was a child. She has no home and money is her only support. When she doesn't have much money, she will become anxious.
Never dare to spend more money.
Before making friends, I will also consider whether they can bring any benefits to me or whether it is meaningless social interaction.
Therefore, she has had few friends since she was a child.
All I can say is you deserve it. If you are not sincere yourself, how can you expect others to treat you sincerely?
Ning Xi now feels that this shouldn’t be the case. She has a family now and is no longer the lonely Ning Xi.
At this moment, Ning Xi was grateful to the original owner from the bottom of her heart, as she gave her a complete life experience.
"What's wrong with you, kid?" Liu Chunmei saw her in a daze and reached out to touch her forehead.
Why do you look so listless? Are you sick?
"I don't have a fever..."
Ning Xi burst into laughter and reached out to hug Liu Chunmei, "Auntie, I'm not sick. I'm just a little distracted thinking about the letter just now."
......
Dinner was ready, and there were people bringing bowls and chopsticks, serving dishes, and serving rice. Since there were so many people, everyone worked together and everything was arranged quickly.
There were eleven people sitting around the table, eating and chatting. The atmosphere was surprisingly lively and the food was quickly eaten up.
After the meal, everyone took out their gifts.
Liu Chunmei's eldest brother Ning Boyuan and his wife gave her a set of sweaters and trousers, as well as a can of malted milk. Liu Chunmei touched the new sweater and couldn't let it go.
She kept praising her eldest daughter-in-law: "Xiaoying's craftsmanship is really good. There are no sweaters as beautiful as this in department stores."
Wei Ying had indeed put some thought into it, and she was very happy to see that her mother-in-law liked it.
When she married into this family, her parents-in-law were reasonable people. They also bought a new house for her husband so he didn't have to live with the elderly. Compared with her previous sisters, her life was much more comfortable.
My second brother, Ning Zhongqi, and his wife gave me a bottle of medicinal wine. "Mom, drink a glass before bed. It's good for your health."
This was brewed by his father-in-law's classmate, and he exchanged a bottle for her.
"Okay, okay, you all are so thoughtful." Liu Chunmei couldn't stop smiling.
Guan Yulan gave her sister a big gold bracelet.
When she was living in the landlord's house, she was thinking about running away every day, so she coaxed the old man into giving her a lot of good things, all of which were gold and silver jewelry.
Later, when trouble broke out, he just grabbed his bag and ran away.
Ning Hua and Ning Zi are the only two grandchildren in the Ning family. They also prepared gifts for their grandmother, all of which were paintings they drew themselves.
The Liu Chunmei in the painting is wearing pigtails and looks full of childlike innocence, which makes everyone present laugh.
Ning Shaolan used his own private savings to buy Liu Chunmei a pair of shoes with cowhide soles. Because Liu Chunmei often has to stand at work, the comfort of the shoes is also very important.
However, when Ning Xi took out the watch, everyone present gasped.
"This watch is not cheap, is it?" Second sister-in-law Yu Shu looked at the ruby embellished in the middle of the dial and felt that this was not a watch, but walking money.
Ning Xi took out the watch and put it on Liu Chunmei. "I don't have the skills and thoughts like my brothers and sisters-in-law, so I can only work harder in other areas."
Liu Chunmei was naturally happy too: "I like everything you gave me. I wish it was my birthday every day."
No matter what it is, it is a token of thought. Things may be valuable, but feelings are priceless.
Everyone gathered together to chat, and it was almost ten o'clock, when the two children were about to fall asleep, that the Ning Boyuan and Ning Zhongqi families got up to say goodbye.
Ning Xi quickly took out the smoked meat. There were twelve pieces of smoked meat in total, each weighing about one pound. She packed two pieces for each of their families.
"What is this?" The man held the child in his arms. Wei Ying and Yu Shu took the meat and the aroma hit them in the face.
"My educated youth friend sent me some smoked meat, saying it's made from wild boar. There's still some left, so let's all try it."
Wei Ying and Yu Shu were both hesitant about whether to answer the call, because Ning Xi had never lived here before and they had hardly any dealings with each other. Although they were family, they only became a little familiar with each other tonight.
It feels a bit bad to take other people's good things as soon as you come, but it's not good not to take them either. After all, we are family.
Wei Ying acted like an elder sister-in-law and put the meat away: "Thank you, second sister!"
Next time if I have something good, I will share it with my sisters. Isn’t it the give-and-take between people? And this meat smells so good, just smelling it makes her gluttonous.
I just had a good meal last night.
Seeing this, Yu Shu also put it away, "Xiaoxi, Shaolan, come to my house when you are free, and sister-in-law will make you something delicious."
After exchanging some pleasantries, seeing that it was getting quite late, they rode away on their bikes.
Guan Yulan originally wanted to stay overnight, but it was late and she had to make the bed again. She didn't want to make her sister suffer. After all, there was still a long time to go and there was plenty of time.
She wanted to go home, and Ning Xi offered to ride her bike to take her home. Ning Shaolan was worried and wanted to follow her, so there were three people sitting on Ning Xi's 28-inch bicycle.
But she is very strong and is not afraid of two more people.
