Xu Xiangjuan: "We are not asking for anything from them, so there is no need to be nice to them. Mom, you were right to chase them away."
"She will go around saying bad things about our family, saying that we have made money. What if someone asks us to borrow money?"
Wu Caifeng is not afraid of Zheng Honggui, but she is afraid of Zheng Honggui's mouth.
By helping her daughter, she and her husband can earn more than ten or twenty yuan every month. Now they still eat three meals a day here, so they don't have to spend any money. They save all the money. As a mother, she has no control over her daughter's own money, but the money should be the same as her and her husband's, saving more and more.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, no one else can borrow money from me. If you really need money, see if there is anyone who can pay it back. If they can pay it back, then lend me some. I am not stupidly rich, and I still have to buy things. What doesn't require money now? I haven't even made back the money I spent on buying tables, chairs, benches, bowls and plates... The key is that you have to hold on to your own money."
After deducting the cost of buying ingredients, the money she earns every month is either a few dozen or a hundred. Her parents give her twenty or thirty dollars. Aning earns 37 yuan a month, which is enough for her family and enough to buy ingredients, but she hasn't made back her money yet.
There are piles of tables, chairs, sheds and workers' wages. How did they spend less money?
Xu Gensheng pretended not to understand the implicit meaning of his daughter's words and looked at Niu Niu who was talking nonsense.
The cat ears were too hard for Niu Niu, and he was trying to soften them with his saliva.
Wu Caifeng: "Juan, how about I leave the money with you? Your father is stupid and can do anything. If we lend the money out, how will our family survive?"
Well, now it’s directly pointed out who it is.
Xu Xiangjuan: "How can a daughter manage her parents' money? Mom, you keep it well. Dad is not that stupid."
Her father is indeed a fool, but he is different from her daughter Aning in that way.
Aning is also a little stupid, but he holds on to his money very tightly and never shows it. Even though he has money, he acts like a poor person.
He is not a poor man now, he has at least a few dozen dollars on him.
Wu Caifeng thought about the past few decades of experience and said, "Your father is just a fool. He is not as smart as my granddaughter. He knows how to spend money wisely."
Guagua has been listening to the adults talking: "Grandma, why should we spend money wisely?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Guagua, grandma means to spend money on useful things and not waste it."
Guagua: "Yeah! I don't spend money recklessly."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, you don't have to tell Dad. When someone comes to borrow money or learn a skill, just wait for them to come. If that doesn't work, you can say that you gave the money to my second sister. My second sister's family can't make ends meet. Anyway, my second sister married far away, and no one knows what her situation is."
"My daughter is so smart. Why didn't I think of your sister?" After hearing what her daughter said, Wu Caifeng suddenly felt that things were much easier.
She told her old sisters a few years ago that her eldest daughter married and moved away, and her life was like being soaked in misery, with no one from her family to take care of her.
Although Xu Xianglan lived a good life, she was still described as miserable by her mother.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, it's not that difficult. Don't think too much about it. Dad, let me tell you something."
When Xu Gensheng heard his daughter calling him, he had to face her.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Dad, if my uncle and aunt steal our things, I will report it to the police directly. I will not save face for relatives."
When Wu Caifeng heard her daughter say to call the police, she panicked. She said that there was no need to call the police no matter what, and the family could just give the child a lesson... But seeing her daughter's serious expression, she did not dare to say anything.
Xu Gensheng: "Whatever, I don't care about their family."
Xu Xiangjuan was giving her father a warning that if he really wanted to steal something, he should just report it to the police and would not show any mercy to anyone.
Even though she has experienced two lifetimes, she still dislikes her uncle's family.
It's okay if she doesn't catch you talking too much, but if she does, she will definitely not let you off.
After Xu Gensheng made his attitude clear, Wu Caifeng felt much better. She stopped talking about Zheng Honggui and went to arrange the spicy hot pot dishes neatly and presentably to leave a good impression on the guests.
Niu Niu was still trying hard to soak the cat ears with his saliva. Seeing that nothing was wrong and the child was being watched by his grandfather, Xu Xiangjuan went to the kitchen to organize the things she bought this afternoon.
It was windy outside, Xu Xiangjuan walked up to Zhou Chengning and said, "I'll get you a scarf."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, it's not cold, I've buttoned up the top button, and the stove is warm."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Touch my hand."
Zhou Chengning took out his hand from his pocket and let his lover touch it.
The hands were indeed warm, Xu Xiangjuan was relieved: "Put it back in your pocket, put on your hat and cover your ears, I'll go into the kitchen first."
She cut two oranges to eat. She had tasted the oranges at the stall with Gua Gua and they were sweet, sour and juicy.
More sweet than sour, tastes great.
After everything was packed up, the cat ears that Gua Gua wanted to buy were also put into the cabinet.
The cat ears were bought for two cents, but they were Gua Gua’s own two cents.
Xu Xiangjuan took two oranges and an apple and sliced them.
Carrying the cut fruits to the door of the shed, Xu Xiangjuan lowered her voice and said, "Eat some first, I'll bring it in later."
Zhou Chengning first ate two slices of orange, then took another slice of orange and another slice of apple, and let his lover in.
Xu Xiangjuan felt that her husband seemed to be cheating on her, so she asked him to eat slowly while she carried a small plate of fruit into the shed.
Niu Niu was still struggling with the cat ears. When he saw his mother coming over with food in her hands and everyone had eaten, he suddenly became conflicted and didn't know which one to eat first. In the end, Niu Niu decided to have both.
Fruits are cold when eaten in the winter, but adults are not afraid. Although the melons are not big, they are acceptable because neither oranges nor apples are sour. Niu Niu called for his mother. Xu Xiangjuan gave Niu Niu a slice of apple, and when Niu Niu was not paying attention, she threw the wet cat ears that Niu Niu had temporarily placed on the chair into the trash can.
Niu Niu was busy licking the apple and didn't notice his mother's little action. After eating a piece of apple, he forgot about the cat ears.
A customer came at around three or four in the afternoon. He was similar to the customer who came in the morning and at noon. He didn't know what all the dishes were for. After Xu Gensheng introduced them and knew what they were, he also chose a vegetarian bowl.
After Malatang came out, not many people wanted hot and sour noodles. Sweet potato noodles were also sold. If you want something sour, there is vinegar on the table and you can pour it yourself.
There was also chili oil on the table, but it was the kind that was fragrant and not spicy.
When the shop closed at five o'clock, Xu Xiangjuan cooked dinner. Since the rice was sold today, there was not much left, so she cooked noodles in the evening and used the remaining rice to make porridge for Niu Niu.
After eating the noodles, Wu Caifeng and Xu Gensheng took the packages home. Xu Xiangjuan coaxed the two children to sleep first.
"These cookies are delicious, but don't eat too much, just one or two every night."
After coaxing their two children to sleep, the couple secretly ate in the kitchen without the children's knowledge.
The biscuits sent by her second sister were in an iron box with three boxes in it. It was not a particularly large box. Xu Xiangjuan took one box, and her mother said that the remaining two boxes would be kept for the grandchildren to eat during the Chinese New Year.
The grandchildren will have food to eat, and the grandchildren will definitely have food to eat. Anyway, the two children will be able to eat it sooner or later, so Xu Xiangjuan will not feel guilty about stealing some.
The biscuits were full of milk flavor, leaving a lingering taste on the lips and teeth. They were indeed delicious. In the evening, his wife secretly told him not to wash up after dinner, and he had a hunch that the two of them would eat while the children were not around.
Guagua is simply an impartial little supervisor. As long as she knows about the food, she will find out if there is even a little bit less.
So whenever Xu Xiangjuan bought food and ate it with her man, people would do it behind Guagua's back.
Niu Niu just wants to eat whatever you eat. How can you let Niu Niu eat randomly?
The couple were very satisfied eating cookies with the child on their backs. After eating, they washed up and went to bed.
Zhou Chengning felt guilty at first, but after eating with his lover a few times, he didn't feel guilty at all.
...
"Juan, is it snowing outside?" Zhou Chengning paid attention to the movement outside.
The school has already gone on winter vacation, and today's weather looked like it was going to snow, but we waited all day and there was no snow.
Xu Xiangjuan was a little dazed and listened attentively: "The heartbeat is too loud, I can't hear any other sounds."
She calmed down and tried to listen to see if it was really snowing outside, but there was only the sound of heartbeats in her ears. It could be hers, or it could be her man's, she couldn't tell.
"Juan, you will hear other sounds soon." Zhou Chengning continued.
It was not until the end that Xu Xiangjuan regained her senses. Did her Aning say anything obscene?
"You've become a bad person."
If his lover didn't kiss the corner of his mouth before saying this, Zhou Chengning might still be afraid, but after she kissed him, he was not afraid at all, because this meant that his lover was not angry.
Since her husband didn't respond, Xu Xiangjuan thought he had fallen asleep, so she made sure the quilt was tucked in and prepared to go to bed.
She is too sleepy.
Zhou Chengning said after a while: "Juan, you haven't learned bad things, you just love her deeply."
Xu Xiangjuan came to her senses a little: "Nonsense, I'm not a teenage girl anymore, I'm not that easy to fool."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, in my heart you are just a little girl."
Hearing the little girl, Xu Xiangjuan felt a little emotional. She knew Zhou Chengning was four years older than her when they went on a blind date, but she still thought he was too old. Now that she has lived two lives, although she doesn't have that subtle feeling of being much older than Zhou Chengning, she doesn't feel proud of being younger than him either. "Is it just in my heart? Am I older in my eyes than I am in my heart?"
She felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud. She was clearly a strong woman, but she was talking to her man about being a little girl.
“There’s also a little girl in her eyes.” Zhou Chengning tried to hold back his laughter, but couldn’t help but chuckled.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" Xu Xiangjuan was angry and bit Zhou Chengning on the cheek.
Zhou Chengning kissed his lover. In his heart and eyes, his lover would always be a little girl.
Although it is so small, it is more powerful than anyone else.
Xu Xiangjuan only had a little resistance at the beginning, but soon became addicted.
It did snow during the night, and it didn’t stop snowing the next morning.
Niu Niu and Gua Gua, two children who had never seen the world, were very excited to see the snow.
Zhou Chengning held Niu Niu in his arms and watched the snow, and Niu Niu tried to catch the snow with his little hands.
Guagua went to find Miaomiao wearing a small raincoat.
The snow here is usually sleet, which will wet your clothes.
"Guagua, don't run. Walk slowly and be careful not to fall." Xu Xiangjuan was sweeping the water in the corridor of the yard and asked Guagua, who was wearing a raincoat, to be careful.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gua Gua slipped and fell to the ground, but because he was wearing thick clothes, it didn't hurt. He got up with a smile and continued walking outside.
When Niu Niu saw his sister fall and laugh, he laughed too and called for his father. He wanted to fall down like his sister and sit on the snow.
Zhou Chengning felt that his son wanted to go to the snow, but it was snowing, so he did not go along with Niu Niu and carried Niu Niu back to the small bed in the inner room.
