Everyone loves beauty, and who doesn’t like to look at handsome men?
Even if handsome men are not Jane Ning's type, it does not stop her from taking a second look at him, nor does it stop her from teasing him back.
Come on, tease each other, hurt each other, who’s afraid of who!
In her previous life, Jian Ning had played many roles in order to carry out missions, including a bar prostitute. No matter what role she played, there would be someone to demonstrate and correct her in advance, so when it comes to teasing people, she is at least more professional than Ding Youtian.
"My husband, why should I thank you? It's just stewing a medicinal meal. Isn't this my wife's duty?"
She squinted her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and was full of charm. Her voice was even more charming, which made Ding Youtian's heart flutter. When had he ever seen his wife show such a seductive attitude?
He couldn't help but take a step forward, but before he could put his hand on her shoulder, he suddenly remembered the femme fatale trap that his master had just taught him, and alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.
"My lady, it's time to wash your hair. It's all greasy." He extended his hand and moved it upwards, lightly touching her bun. "Look, it's greasy."
After saying this, he glanced at the earthenware bowl on the stove and said, "Please be careful. Just being careful is not enough. Otherwise, when your husband becomes successful, you will easily become a wife who suffers from poverty."
After he finished his speech in a serious tone, he threw his hands behind his back and went to the toilet in a smug manner.
Grandma's legs!
I serve you three meals a day all day long. It's so smoky and hot that it's strange that my hair isn't greasy! Jane Ning stared at his back. If eyes could shoot thorns, someone would have turned into a hedgehog.
She looked away angrily and touched her hair, which was indeed a bit greasy.
Set up the pot, boil water, wash your hair and take a bath, it’s time for the four little ones to take a bath.
Three large pots in the courtyard were all lit and boiling water. Lanterns used to hang on the porch, but now energy-saving lamps were used in the courtyard and in each room of the old house. Jane Ning had also stumbled upon a number of battery-powered energy-saving lamps and voice-activated night lights in the pharmacy, most of which could be hung directly, and there were sockets for charging.
The origin of these things fell on Yang Jinyu's head, and Yang Jinyu had to take the blame for his master.
The three Ma brothers, Ding Sheng, and Ding Sheng's sister Xiaoya were still playing in the yard. Ma Xiaomi suggested playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chickens". Ma Xiaomai was keen on being the hen, so the children invited Jian Ning to be the eagle.
Jane Ning readily agreed. With her participation, the children's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, with screams and laughter coming one after another. Even the shy Ding Sheng screamed from time to time.
Looking at the children's smiling faces and listening to their laughter, Jane Ning couldn't help but think of her own childhood. When she was a child, she had seen other children playing this game, but she was extremely introverted and lonely at that time. Even if someone invited her, she would not participate. She would rather stare at the sky in a daze.
At that time, she often wondered whether there were gods in heaven.
Later, she really waited for the god, who was her mentor Grandma Wu.
Until she met Grandma Wu, who taught her medicine, martial arts, and paid for her education, she became capable and strong, gained self-confidence little by little, and her temperament became more cheerful day by day.
"Okay, it's time to wash your hair and take a shower. Let's stop here for today." The water was almost boiled, and Jane Ning announced the end of the game.
"Little brother, come here. Big brother and second brother will carry your sedan chair. Get in." Ma Xiaomai and Ma Xiaomi squatted down and held the sedan chair with their hands. Ma Xiaodou said "Oh" and ran forward. He lifted his legs and sat on it neatly. He put his arms around his big brother and second brother, turned his head and shouted to Sanniu, "Yaoyao, when I grow up, I will carry your sedan chair!"
This unlucky child, Jian Ning laughed secretly, is he going to carry Sanniu’s sedan chair to get married?
Jian Ning used boiling water to dissolve a piece of tea dregs for shampooing. The tea dregs were really given by Yang Jinyu. They included honey. Tea dregs are the residue after pressing tea oil. It is a pure natural shampoo. It has certain effects on dandruff, oily hair, hair loss and is a very good hair care product.
After taking a bath, the four little ones put on pajamas sewn by Jian Ning. The style was tailored by Chang, according to the sketch of modern pajamas drawn by Jian Ning, except that the buttons were replaced with cloth buttons.
Chang is very good at needlework, and her comprehension in this area is also amazing. Sometimes, when Jane Ning wants to make a certain style, she can't draw it well or explain it clearly, so she just describes it roughly, and she can try to use her hands to gesture out the style she wants.
If she opened a tailor shop, Jane Ning thought she would become a famous clothing master.
Many people are not aware of their potential, or they are aware of it but cannot bring it out for various reasons. Gradually, their potential becomes useless and over time they become ordinary people among the vast crowd.
Perhaps, this is how the world is, with thousands of people and thousands of faces.
The next day, Chang came early in the morning. When she learned that Jian Ning and others were going to send Dabao to school in town today, she quietly sewed a long gown for Dabao overnight.
"When did you get the cloth?" Jane Ning was amazed to see that it was a brand new royal blue fabric with fine and dense stitches, just like those made by a sewing machine.
"A few days ago, I asked Sheng'er's father to go to the town to get some. We didn't go there just to make clothes for Dabao, but mainly because our family needs to buy autumn and winter clothes. If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't be able to make a living, let alone buy clothes. Please don't be polite to me, just accept it with confidence."
"I'm not being polite with you. I'm really happy. I'll let him put it on and show you."
It must be said that Chang had good taste. She said she asked her husband to buy it, and her husband also bought it according to her standards. Royal blue is not a color that most people can handle, but Dabao has a mature and steady temperament. Royal blue suits him very well. Wearing it, he looks like a handsome young man with excellent temperament. Compared with Ding Youtian, he is even better than his father.
"Nephew thanks Aunt Ding." Dabao, who had two hairbands in the same color as his clothes tied to his bun, bowed to Chang in a very straight manner and thanked her in a crisp voice.
"Oh, it's great that he has the spirit of a scholar even before going to school." Chang was happy from the bottom of her heart and felt that Dabao would have a bright future. Suddenly, she also had the idea of letting Ding Sheng go to school.
"His uncle." Chang turned to ask Ding Youtian, "How much does it cost to study in a year?"
Ding Youtian said, "Six taels a year, plus the lunch money and the money for the New Year gifts to the teacher, it's only about eight taels of silver."
Chang quickly calculated that just from helping Jian Ning make wine, she could earn about thirty-five or thirty-six taels of silver a year. Add to that what the family earned from making puppets, not to mention the money from selling game, and she could support Ding Sheng to study for a few years. If he could finish, she could support him for ten years without any problem.
"Then wait for me. I'll go call your brother and take Sheng'er with you and your son." After she said that, she ran home as fast as the wind.
