Chapter 104 Uncle



Ning He got up very early, but she had nothing to do.

There was no need to prepare any food, so she thought about getting up and making breakfast, but she didn't expect He Shaochuan to get up earlier than her.

Ning He left the room and saw that breakfast was already set on the dining table in the main hall.

There was clear porridge and two bowls of egg custard with soy sauce.

He Shaochuan came in with a plate and said to Ning He, "Go wash up and come eat."

Ning He took a look at the dish on the plate, which was stir-fried shredded potatoes.

She didn't eat much last night, and after smelling the delicious food, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Ning He finished washing up quickly. He Shaochuan handed her chopsticks and considerately placed a bowl of egg custard in front of her.

"Last time you said you didn't like egg yolks or egg whites, so I just made some egg custard and ate it while it was hot."

"What about you?" Ning He looked at the table in front of He Shaochuan. There was nothing in front of him except a bowl of white porridge.

He Shaochuan picked up a handful of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it into Ning He's bowl.

"I like shredded potatoes," he said.

Ning He took a spoon and scooped half of the egg custard into He Shaochuan's bowl.

"From now on, cook three eggs at a time, otherwise I won't eat them."

Ning He couldn't understand why He Shaochuan was willing to give Zhao Lan a basket of eggs, but he himself was reluctant to eat a single egg.

Is he a masochist? Be stingy with yourself and generous with others.

He Shaochuan looked at the smooth egg custard in the bowl, responded, and ate very quickly.

After dinner, he told Ning He not to wash the dishes and to wait for him to come back and do them.

Ning He told He Shaochuan that she had to go to the market to help out today. He Shaochuan asked, "How about asking Sister Zhao to help look after Qianlin today?"

"No, Linbao likes to follow me."

She also told He Shaochuan about what she discussed with Qianlin about school yesterday.

He Shaochuan frowned, somewhat disagreeing: "You can't let him do whatever he wants. He should go to school when he is old enough. Can he still be with you forever?"

Ning He thought it was nothing: "How many years can a child stay with me? The nurseries in the compound are only considered by dual-income families, and the children play in the nurseries, so I thought that before I go to college, I can spend more time with Lin Bao."

After she finished speaking, seeing that He Shaochuan stopped talking, Ning He patted He Shaochuan on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright, I know what I am doing, just go ahead!"

After He Shaochuan left, Qianlin also got up. He remembered that he had to go to the market with his mother today, so he ate very quickly. After he finished eating, he urged Ninghe to get up.

Seeing how anxious he was, Ning He actually forgot about the shock he had suffered yesterday.

She took Qianlin to the market, and Ma Xiaohui set up her stall very early.

Now the big brothers on both sides of the stalls were gone. Ning He knew that they had listened to his advice and dispersed to sell tea eggs.

With the two brothers away, the space suddenly became larger, so Ning He suggested putting a few tables, chairs and benches next to the stall for the diners who wanted to eat there.

Ma Xiaohui listened to Ning He's advice and went home to move in a table and a few stools, which were the furniture left by the landlord.

She couldn't take out any more, so she planned to prepare these things after she made some money.

Ma Xiaohui was busy all morning doing the business introduced by Fang Ming. She packed the items one by one and sorted them into cartons.

When it was time for lunch, Fang Ming came out of the factory and gave Ma Xiaohui another piece of paper.

"These are the orders for tonight. I'll take these in first." He said as he picked up the cartons and walked into the factory.

Ma Xiaohui looked at what was written on the paper in surprise, and Ning He took a closer look.

He smiled and said, "Sure, you don't have to worry about your daily business anymore."

If I sell for a dozen yuan at noon and a dozen yuan at night, I can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day. Not only will I have enough food and clothing, but I can also save enough to buy a house.

Ma Xiaohui looked at Ning He gratefully: "Ning He, this is all thanks to you."

Ning He waved his hand: "You don't have to thank me. I just provided an idea. You know who you should thank."

Ma Xiaohui pursed her lips and said nothing, but she knew everything in her heart.

"Okay, you don't need me anymore. Just make money from now on. I'll come and see you when I have time."

Ning He stood up and left with Qian Lin.

They went to the department store and bought some cloth. After Jiang Minke's friends had the clothes repaired last time, they were very satisfied with them. Her friends introduced other friends to them, and this brought a lot of business to Ninghe.

Ning He wanted to make some good clothes during this time before entering the army canteen.

When they returned to the gate of the compound, it was almost time for lunch. It was a hot day and they had been walking a long way. Ning He felt distressed when she saw Qian Lin sweating profusely. She wanted to reward her eldest son well.

"Linbao, when we get home, mom will make you some ice rice, okay?"

Qianlin looked at Ninghe curiously and asked, "Mom, what is ice rice?"

Ning He thought about how to explain to Qian Lin: "Just let the cooked glutinous rice cool down, add it to the sweet water made from the popsicle, and add various small ingredients and fruits, such as red beans, mung beans, purple sweet potato balls, sweet potato balls, sweet potatoes, peanuts, etc. Eat together, it is very refreshing to relieve the heat."

Just hearing his mother say this, Qianlin couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "It sounds delicious."

Ning He couldn't help but smile and touched Qian Lin's head: "Let's go!"

"Yeah!" Qianlin nodded.

When Ning He and Qian Lin passed by Compound No. 1, they saw Xiaoyu sitting at the door of his house. Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when he saw them and he ran towards them quickly.

"Aunt Xiao Ning, Qian Lin!" He ran to Ning He and said breathlessly, "Are you going home?"

"Yes, it's noon now. I need to go home for lunch." Ning He replied with a smile.

Xiaoyu looked at Ninghe a little embarrassedly: "Aunt Xiaoning, I have finished the questions you assigned to me last time. Can you help me check them?"

Ning He almost forgot about this matter. Jiang Zhengyu suddenly became so studious, there was no reason for Ning He to disagree.

"Okay, I'll go in with you."

Xiaoyu laughed excitedly and walked in front, jumping and skipping.

When Ning He went in, he found Aunt Sun still cooking in the kitchen.

Then he asked Xiaoyu: "Haven't you had lunch yet?"

Xiaoyu shook his head and whispered to Ninghe, "My uncle is back. Aunt Sun has been worried all morning about what to cook for my uncle."

As soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, Aunt Sun turned around and saw Ninghe, her eyes lit up.

She hurried out of the kitchen and walked in front of Ning He, as if she had seen a savior.

"Xiao Ning, you came at the right time. I just happened to have something to ask you."

"Auntie Sun, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I can help you in any way I can."

Aunt Sun was not shy and told Ning He directly: "Madam's brother came back last night. I don't know what he likes to eat. My cooking skills are limited and I can't make anything delicious. Xiao Ning, please give me some ideas."
