Chapter 288 Nuobao Cried Hard
Little Nuobao cried so hard that she covered her face with her hands, but her tears were still disobedient and flowed through her fingers, making her hands wet.
Thinking that she would never see Grandma Xiao again, she felt like a piece of her heart was missing.
Bitterness and fear surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but sob in her baby voice.
Feng picked her up distressedly, hugged her tightly in her arms and coaxed her, and glared at Fengmiao again.
"Who told you to let it slip? Didn't Madam Xiao say that she had to tell your sister about this slowly?"
Little Fengmiao looked at Nuobao's red cheeks and was out of breath. She regretted slapping her mouth and wanted to burn her mouth with a stove hook!
Hearing the crying in the inner room, the whole family was alarmed and rushed into the house to see what was going on.
"My dear girl, mother knows that you and Grandma Xiao have feelings for each other, but no matter how reluctant you are, you can't let her live in our village for the rest of her life." Mrs. Feng was afraid that Nuobao would cry and choke, so she kept patting her back.
Jiang Fengnian touched his sister's little hand and sighed, "That's right, she is a noble lady in the capital, how can she be an old peasant woman in our village."
Little Nuobao twitched with a flat mouth, "But if Grandma Xiao goes back, she won't be as happy as she is now! She likes to live in our village. Isn't the purpose of life to do what you like?"
These words made the Jiang family feel sad.
Yes, they adults consider the pros and cons, but what children care about most is pure happiness.
It turns out that Xiao Nuobao was not only reluctant to leave, but also worried that Mrs. Xiao would lose her happiness after returning home...
The Jiang family had no other choice, and they couldn't tell Mrs. Xiao and make her feel bad, so they could only take turns to comfort her.
Xiao Nuobao cried for a while, and was too tired to cry anymore, so he curled up his short arms and legs, snuggled into the quilt like a ball, and finally fell asleep. When
he woke up the next day, Xiao Nuobao's eyelids were swollen, as if two walnuts were stuffed in them.
Chun Ge'er felt curious and thought there was something hidden inside. He lay on his aunt's pillow, looked left and right, and poked with his hands... Mrs. Feng
cooked two hot eggs, and felt that Chun'er was a nuisance, so she took her grandson to the suitcase and put him there for a while.
When Jiang Fengze came in, she saw Feng holding an egg and rolling the eyes of little Nuobao. On the big suitcase next to her, there was a crying Chun Ge'er who was afraid of heights...
"Mom, Mrs. Xiao is already packing up. I'll take my sister to take a look." Fengze said.
Feng nodded, took out an apricot-yellow silk round-necked shirt, put it on the chubby little girl, and asked Fengze to take her away.
When they arrived at Xianquanju, looking at the little fat girl in a cream-yellow dress, with two buns on her head and half-swollen eyes, Mrs. Xiao's heart was as clear as a mirror.
"Alas, Nuobao must have known, why is he still crying?" Mrs. Xiao's eyes also turned red.
Little Nuobao was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he flew over like a butterfly and fell into her arms, and then he arched his back and forth and acted coquettishly.
"Grandma Xiao, look at Nuobao's eyes, the swollen bumps are so ugly, oooo, Nuobao must be ugly!" The little guy deliberately "made a fool of himself".
As expected, old lady Xiao was amused again, and coaxed her like a sweetheart, "Little girl, I'll ask your brother Xiao to take his mother's ice cream and apply it on you later. That thing is the best for reducing swelling and nourishing the skin!"
Xiao Lanyi was also good at coaxing children. She took out a small porcelain bottle the size of a thumb, gave it all to Nuobao, and also "painted a big cake" for her.
"When you grow up a little bit, to the age of four or five, and can leave home, Brother Xiao will take you to the capital to play, and you will meet Grandma Xiao soon." Xiao Lanyi patted his chest to promise.
Originally, he wanted to bring Nuobao back to the capital this time and stay in the Xiao Mansion for a few days.
But Feng Miao made trouble last time, and Feng was worried about her daughter leaving her side, so she gave up this time.
Little Nuobao hugged the jade cream bottle, looking at the blue and white glaze on it, thinking it was so beautiful that he smiled with his little white teeth.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao also brought crab meat crisps, which were so fragrant that her little nose moved, so she sat on Grandma Xiao's lap, waiting to be fed like a greedy cat.
After lunch, Mrs. Xiao and her daughter-in-law took a carriage into the city.
During the days they stayed in Daliu Village, they were well taken care of by the Jiang family. Mrs. Xiao had to prepare some gifts to show her appreciation.
She bought a few pieces of the best Zhang silk and Song brocade to buy winter clothes for the women. She
also bought two pairs of twisted white jade bracelets, a pair of palace lantern tassels inlaid with jade and gold hairpins for Mrs. Feng and her two daughters-in-law, and fox fur with woven gold satin in three colors: brown-green, dark purple, and stone green. They could choose whichever they wanted to wear.
As for Jiang Fengnian and his brothers, they naturally got some too.
Each person had a white jade pendant as smooth as mutton fat, a jade rope made of lapis lazuli beads, and two pairs of cloud-patterned boots, which would have been a great gift.
Mrs. Xiao paid for a lot of silk hairpins, which were matched into a set of twelve flower gods, and were given to Feng alone.
After returning home, Mrs. Xiao came to Jiang's house to sit down, put away the thank-you gifts, and talked with Feng all night. On the second day, she had to leave for Beijing. The
people in the mansion urged her to go.
After all, a noble lady from a famous family was always away from the capital, and it was inevitable that she would be criticized after a long time.
Early in the morning, the sky was still misty and the dew had not yet dried.
Xiao Lanyi kissed Xiao Nuobao, patted Fengze's shoulder, and then turned over and jumped onto the leading white horse.
Old lady Xiao and Madam Xiao were helped onto the carriage, and the servants also had carriages to ride, just to hurry on the road.
At this time, Old lady Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly hurried down, secretly stuffed a gold bag in her hand into Xiao Nuobao's arms.
When Xiao Lanyi gave an order, the team drove out of the village.
Xiao Nuobao looked at the back of the carriage with wet eyes, thinking about the "big cake" painted by Xiao Lanyi, just waiting for the day when he could go to Beijing to find Grandma Xiao.
When he got home, Xiao Nuobao covered his arms, sat on the small quilt, and suddenly lay down and started to drum.
Feng thought she was going to cry, so she sighed and wanted to go over to take a look.
But as soon as she went over, she saw the girl with her back arched and her hands flailing around, like a kitten burying its poop, trying to hide something in her quilt!
