Chapter 266 The Diligent Girl
"They are all things that are not presentable." Tian Xueni said shyly.
"How could that be? You can buy these shoes outside, but they don't fit this well. This is the first time I've worn such comfortable shoes."
Gu Yu also knew how to read people's expressions.
"Don't try to coax me, I'm a little regretful. If I knew you were doing so well, I wouldn't have come here to cause trouble."
She really felt a little regretful, but she was too embarrassed to say she wanted to go back.
…
Two days passed in a flash, and they soon returned to Ningxi Village.
Li Mumu has been away for more than a month, and everyone misses her.
When I saw a carriage in the distance, I knew it must be theirs.
No one in Ningxi Village can afford this thing.
Tian Xueni also looked outside excitedly, "Is this your village? It looks similar to ours."
Ancient villages were probably all similar, and the houses of every household were the same. Li Mumu actually thought about building a blue brick house, otherwise it would leak as the rainy season was coming soon.
But I have too many things to do and I can't take care of it for the time being.
"Oh, this is... such a pretty girl?" Piglet's mother's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Mingjing again, "Brother Mingjing, this is..."
Gu Mingjing knew she had misunderstood, "This is..."
He thought about it and decided that they were not relatives, nor could they be considered friends, but they were not strangers either.
"This is Aunt Tian, she's here to see us."
Piglet's mother's eyes clearly showed disbelief.
The children don’t come to study every day, and it just so happens that today is their break time.
Li Mumu quickly took out the candy she had bought and handed it to the children.
Seeing the children’s happy faces after eating the candy made her happier than eating it herself.
Many people followed the carriage all the way to the Gu family.
A little kid had already gone to the Gu family to deliver a letter. The Gu family members were not waiting at the door, but had already come out to greet them.
I was quite surprised to see an extra carriage coming back.
Li Mumu was the first to get out. Xie Xun frowned and said, "Be careful, the car hasn't stopped yet."
Li Mumu made a face, then rushed to Grandpa Gu who had been waiting for a long time, and called him "Grandpa" sweetly, which made Grandpa Gu happier than eating honey.
"Okay, yo, you've lost weight!"
Li Mumu shook her head. "How can I be thin? I've clearly gained weight. I eat five meals a day at my godmother's house."
Old Madam Gu smiled. She was really not used to having such a little girl missing from the house.
"By the way, Grandpa, Grandma, look who's here?"
"Who?" Old Madam Gu was puzzled. Could it be someone from the Nie family?
However, when Tian Xueni got out of the car, the Gu family was stunned.
Their expressions were just one of shock without any other emotions.
"This...is this the girl from the Tian family?" asked Old Madam Gu.
"Yes, Aunt Gu, I...I'm Xue Ni."
"Sister Xueni, are you here to see us?" Song Qiang said with a smile.
Otherwise, how could I come here?
Tian Xueni nodded shyly, "Yes, what a coincidence."
The villagers also praised Tian Xueni's beauty, and Li Mumu took out some food to share with everyone.
The people of Ningxi Village are simple and honest. Logically speaking, they should be jealous of the Gu family because they live a good life, but none of them seem to have any negative emotions.
Of course, the Gu family has done a lot for this village, and it would be very unkind to be jealous of them.
You will definitely be drowned by the spit of people who know how to be grateful.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Zhang Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"These were bought by my uncle for my cousin, these were given by my godmother, and this one was given by Aunt Tian."
It was equally important to her that Li Mumu put things together.
"Uncle Gu, Mumu is back. Shouldn't we have the baby's full moon celebration?"
"Has Yongen's full moon party not been held yet?" Li Mumu asked in surprise.
Zhang Yi shook his head. "Your cousin said that no one can be without you. Don't worry, let's wait until the hundredth day and have some fun together."
It was closed today, so Gu Lan didn't come out with the child in her arms, but she was watching from inside the house.
Li Mumu waved at her, and then everyone started to move things forward.
You wouldn’t know until you moved in, but Mrs. Nie gave her so many things.
And everyone had one, even Gu Lan’s newborn baby had one prepared for him.
"This pearl flower is for you." Gu Lan handed the pearl flower suitable for young women to Tian Xueni.
"I... no no no, this is given to you by the prefect's wife, how can I take it?"
Gu Lan smiled and said, "I've been carrying Yongen all day, and he'll soon be scratching around. Besides, I really like this baby-carrying strap. Your embroidery is quite good."
"They are all embroidered randomly, so of course they can't compare with yours." Tian Xueni just saw the little kid's shoes and some small clothes, and those were really beautifully embroidered.
She has so little stuff to sell.
"Miss Xueni, just accept it. You've come all this way to see us, so how can this be too much of a debt of gratitude?" Zhang Yi also advised, "I have a piece of fabric here that's suitable for young ladies like you. You can cut it and make clothes later."
"No, I...it's a waste for me to wear such nice things. I...I really didn't know everyone was doing so well. No, I'm not afraid that everyone would do well. I...if I had known this, I wouldn't have come. Mumu said no one knows how to take care of the vegetable garden in the backyard, so I...I just thought of coming here to plant vegetables for everyone, but I just saw that you don't seem to need help either."
Song Qiang held her hand and said, "Since you are here, stay here for a few days. We don't know how to do that job except you, so we are waiting for your help."
Everyone nodded, but Tian Xueni knew that the other person was just comforting her.
The Gu family has many houses, but there are also many people, so there are no empty rooms.
Originally, after Gu Lan gave birth to the child, Zhang Yi moved in to share a room with her so that he could help her at night.
After asking Tian Xueni, she was allowed to live in the same room with Gu Lan.
Tian Xueni was quite happy. She got up in the middle of the night to help change diapers and even poured water for Gu Lan.
"Just lie down. You're a guest in my house. I'm really sorry to ask you for help. You're even serving me."
"What's the big deal? If it weren't for you, I'd be a wandering ghost somewhere." Tian Xueni said with a smile, "You just had a baby, you're weak, so don't do too much."
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, and the work at home is much more tiring than this. Tomorrow morning I'll plow the vegetable patch for you, and I'll make sure you can eat vegetables grown at home."
Tian Xueni did what she said. By the time she had breakfast the next day, she had already been working in the backyard for an hour.
"This girl is really hardworking." Song Qiang said.
Madam Gu nodded and said, "Mingtang, you are a good talker. Please ask her if anything happened to her family. If nothing happened, that would be great. If so, see if we can help."
