"You want to sell them?"
Xiao Yunying withdrew her gaze: "I won't sell them. I don't lack money. Luo Li likes them very much. He will be sad if I sell them."
Luo Sheng frowned slightly, his doubts deepening.
During his time living there, he discovered that Xiao Yunying was completely different from what he had imagined.
No, it should be that she was unlike any other woman he had ever met.
Now, he's actually willing to give up such a large sum of money just to avoid upsetting Luo Li.
If she were truly an ordinary peasant girl, how could she remain unmoved by a thousand taels of gold?
Xiao Yunying, unaware of what Luo Sheng was thinking, scooped water from the pool by the wall and washed her hands.
As evening approached, the family had just finished dinner and were clearing the table when Mu Lianrong brought over a small bowl of red eggs.
Xiao Yunying curiously tapped the shell of the red egg.
"Mother, whose family has a happy occasion?"
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together, noting that the red egg was losing its color.
"Your memory is terrible. Tomorrow is the sixth day of the lunar month, it's your birthday, have you forgotten?"
Luo Xin said happily, "Tomorrow is Mother's birthday? It just so happens that my brothers are on holiday, so we can celebrate Mother's birthday together."
Xiao Yunying paused for a moment, then replied somewhat awkwardly, "Ah... I really forgot..."
Mu Lianrong said, "I knew you'd forgotten. These are the red-dyed eggs I made for you. They're already boiled. I'll put six in the pot tomorrow morning, and the rest can be given to the children."
"Okay, thank you, Mother."
After seeing Mu Lianrong off, Xiao Yunying sat at the table, staring blankly at the red eggs.
The sixth day of the lunar new year is the original owner's birthday, and also her birthday.
I didn't expect that they shared the same birthday.
Having been here for so long, she had forgotten her own birthday, but Mu Lianrong actually remembered.
Unfortunately, all I remember is the original owner's birthday.
Xiao Yunying suddenly felt a little sad.
It's unclear whether she was sad because no one remembered her birthday, or because the daughter Mu Lianrong cherished was no longer with her.
She squeezed her eyes shut to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts.
What's with this sudden affectation? Just live well, why think about all that nonsense?
Luo Li ran over: "Mother, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Yunying snapped out of her reverie: "Nothing, is there something you need?"
"I want to eat a red egg."
"...Eat up, you just ate, you can only have one."
"good."
Luo Yang also came over: "Mother, I want a red egg too."
When did Luo Yang become so greedy?
"Take it."
Luo Chen walked over, and Xiao Yunying asked first, "You want one too?"
Luo Chen nodded.
"Take it, take it, no need to ask me."
After the children returned to the house with the red eggs, Xiao Yunying looked at the remaining red eggs with a puzzled expression.
Curiosity led her to pick up a red egg, peel off the shell, and take a bite.
This is just a regular egg that's been dyed; it's not like it tastes any better.
It's one thing if Luo Li wants it, but she should at least take the two larger ones.
They are both very self-disciplined and rarely eat snacks right after a meal.
Oh well, let the kids do what they want.
Xiao Yunying swallowed the egg in her mouth, looked up, and saw Luo Sheng looking at her.
"What's wrong? You want some too?"
"No need."
He refused, so Xiao Yunying took the red-skinned eggs to the kitchen.
That night, Xiao Yunying had some more dreams about the original owner of the body.
Most of the time, it's just her family celebrating her birthday every year.
When Xiao Yunying woke up the next day, she only remembered three or four things.
The first event was when the original owner was six years old. Her family took her to a restaurant in the city to celebrate her birthday.
When I left the restaurant after finishing my meal, I encountered a little beggar being beaten by other beggars in the alley next to the restaurant.
The original owner was in a good mood that day, and seeing how pitiful the little beggar was, he asked Xiao Shanhai to drive away the group of big beggars, and even wrapped some pastries he had bought at the restaurant in his own handkerchief for him.
The second thing is my eleventh birthday.
That day, Mu Lianrong stewed a large pork knuckle.
At that time, Zhang had already married into the Xiao family.
The original owner didn't like having a stranger living in her home, but she knew that her parents and brother all liked Zhang Shi.
Therefore, they could only target the Zhang family secretly.
Zhang's family was not well-off and they rarely ate meat.
When I saw such a huge pork knuckle being served, I couldn't help but swallow hard.
The original owner happened to see it.
This silly girl, wanting to tempt Zhang Shi, brought a whole braised pork knuckle to her front, not sharing it with anyone, only saying that she wanted to eat it herself, afraid that her parents would realize she was targeting Zhang Shi.
Then he ate most of the pork knuckle by himself.
I only gave up when I was absolutely stuffed and couldn't eat anymore.
The pork knuckle was too greasy, and she ate too much of it, so she couldn't digest it and vomited it all up in no time, almost making herself sick.
The third time was on my twelfth birthday.
She was curious about the taste of the wine that Xiao Shan Hai always drank, but her father never allowed her to drink it.
That day, her curiosity was piqued again, and while Xiao Shanhai was talking to her older brother, she picked up the wine bowl and took a big gulp.
That day, Xiao Shan Hai drank Shaoxing wine, which didn't taste good to the original owner. She stuck out her tongue and ate several bites of food before she could suppress the bitter and spicy taste in her mouth.
No one expected that just one bite would knock the original owner out.
Xiao Yunying sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) recalling the original owner's affairs, and smiled helplessly.
This girl used to do some rather funny things.
Today the children had a day off, so she didn't have to get up so early and went back to bed for a nap.
After finishing breakfast, Xiao Yunying thought for a moment and then knocked on Luo Chen's door.
