After dinner, Mr. Cen played with building blocks with Qingtian for a while. It was almost time for the child to go to bed.
"Qingtian, are you sleepy? Let's go to bed, okay?" Old Cen said, looking at Qingtian with some worry.
He was so worried that Qingtian would suddenly make a fuss and ask to find his parents. If she cried again, he would be heartbroken.
Fortunately, everything has been going well for Sunny Day so far.
After hearing what Mr. Cen said, she obediently put all the building blocks back into the box, followed the servants to wash and change clothes, and got into bed on her own initiative.
"Qingtian, can you sleep by yourself?" Old Cen followed her all the time, feeling extremely worried.
In the room where Sunny slept, the bedding had been replaced with the ones she was used to at home.
She pulled up the quilt to cover her face, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed.
"Great-grandfather, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."
These words made the maids and wives in the room laugh so hard that they pursed their lips.
She was so cute, lying on the bed like a tiny ball, saying in a baby voice that she was no longer a child.
No wonder the old man doesn’t know how to heal the pain.
I'm afraid of it falling if I hold it in my hand, and I'm afraid of it melting if I hold it in my mouth.
Elder Cen tried to divert Qingtian's attention and said, "Then think about what you want to eat tomorrow, and then tell Great Grandfather when you get up, okay?"
"Okay." Qingtian reached out from under the quilt and waved, "Good night, great-grandfather."
"Grandpa will wait until you fall asleep before going back." Old Cen sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Qingtian gently with his hand.
It was sunny today. I took a car in the morning and rode a horse in the afternoon. Although I took a nap, I was still very excited when I was awake, so I am indeed a little sleepy now.
To be honest, she actually missed Mrs. Ye a little.
But when Qingtian thought about the boast he had made at home, he forced himself to hold it back.
Thinking of the question that Mr. Cen had just asked, she really began to think about what she wanted to eat tomorrow.
The more I thought about it, the sleepier I became.
Then, under the gentle patting of Master Cen, she quickly fell asleep.
When Mr. Cen saw that the child had fallen asleep, a huge stone suddenly fell from his heart.
He reached out and tucked in the quilt.
It's colder here in Zhuangzi, especially at night, than in the capital, so you can't catch a cold.
After tucking in the corners of the quilt, Mr. Cen got up quietly and walked out of the room.
When they reached the outer room, he whispered, "Leave a few more people to listen to the noises in the room at night, and go in more often to see if she kicks the quilt."
"Don't worry, old man. We remember it."
I slept soundly on Qingtian's day.
When I opened my eyes again, the morning light was already shining in from the window.
She turned over, kicked the quilt aside, and stretched out on the bed.
Hearing the noise in the house, someone from outside immediately came in to check.
"Miss Qingtian is awake." A round-faced woman who looked to be in her twenties walked in. "I'll have someone prepare things for you to wash and change clothes."
When Qingtian saw that the person coming was not Mrs. Ye, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was at a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, not at home.
She immediately pulled over the quilt that she had kicked aside and wrapped herself up again with great embarrassment.
"Please bring me the clothes. I can put them on myself."
"Miss Qingtian, don't be embarrassed. This servant was sent by the old man to serve you."
As the round-faced woman spoke, she brought over the clothes that Mr. Cen had asked Meng Yu to bring last night.
She finally coaxed Qingtian to come out from under the quilt.
But Qingtian insisted on dressing herself, so she had no choice but to help her tie the belts that were not in place.
After Qingtian put on her clothes, the round-faced woman carried her to the couch in the outer room to comb her hair and wash her.
At this moment, a little head suddenly popped out from outside the door and looked at Qingtian.
Qingtian also looked at her curiously.
The other person was a little girl, who looked about the same age as Qingtian. Her hair was a little messy, and she probably hadn't washed her face. There was a little eye boogers hanging in the corners of her eyes.
The little girl looked at Qingtian's clothes with envy, then turned to the round-faced woman and said, "Mom, why didn't you go home last night?"
The round-faced woman was startled. When she turned around and saw that it was her daughter, her attitude immediately became fierce.
"Who asked you to come here? Go back now!"
The little girl's eyes turned red because of the scolding, and she looked at Qingtian and said, "Mom, why are you wiping other people's faces and not caring about your brother?
"We are your children, not hers!"
Having said that, the little girl suddenly seemed to remember something, and a huge sense of insecurity arose in her heart.
Could it be that my mother saw that the little girl in the house was pretty and dressed nicely, so she didn't want me and wanted her to be her daughter?
The treatment on Mr. Cen’s farm is good, so most families can afford to raise several children.
But there are so many families around here who have to sell their children because they have no money.
"Mom, are you planning to sell me off and make her your daughter?"
The round-faced woman was almost laughing out of anger as she heard her daughter's words become more and more outrageous.
She threw the handkerchief in her hand into the basin, turned around, walked to the door, and twisted her daughter's ear.
"You have to come over here early in the morning to cause trouble for me, don't you?
"I was called here by the old man to serve Miss Sunny, what are you talking about here?
"Why don't you take a look at yourself? How can you compare with Miss Qingtian? You don't deserve it!"
