Chapter 163 Afraid of Being Sent Away
"This child is too accustomed to it."
Yun Lan's face turned red, and the next second, she was hugged from behind by Fang Yanheng.
Half an hour passed.
Tinglou called for water.
The maid went in and out until the wooden barrel in the room was half full.
It was already getting dark.
At this time, the Jiang family had finished their meal long ago. A group of people had just finished bathing and were sitting in the yard chatting.
The door was open.
Ma Chunxia's family had just delivered the bamboo tubes, and Zhang Jinlan was still waiting for Wang Taohua's family to deliver the bamboo sticks.
What a coincidence.
She was just about to get up and go to the toilet.
Wang Taohua came with her eldest son, carrying a bamboo basket.
When I looked inside, I saw a lot of bamboo sticks in the bamboo basket.
"Sister-in-law, I'm a little late. I hope I didn't cause any trouble. This is all I made today. You can use it first. You don't need to pay. I'm leaving now."
Wang Taohua put down the bamboo basket, grabbed her son's sleeve, turned around and wanted to leave.
But Zhang Jinlan stopped him loudly.
"Hey, don't go. I'll pay you. If you leave, I'll have to go to your house again. What will I do if I'm sweating all over? I just took a shower. Please let me go in this hot summer."
Zhang Jinlan cursed with a smile, and Wang Taohua had no choice but to stop.
Zhang Jinlan gave her eldest son another look.
Jiang Dahe understood immediately, he squatted down and prepared to count the bamboo sticks.
However, after looking carefully, he discovered it.
A piece of grass was tied to every twenty bamboo sticks.
There's no need to count them one by one.
Zhang Jinlan also saw the whole scene.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
I think Wang Taohua is quite capable.
She was not wrong.
Jiang Dahao counted for less than two minutes and it was done.
"Mom, there are three hundred and sixty in total."
According to the price agreed upon at the time, twenty sticks were sold for one cent, so three hundred and sixty sticks would be sold for eighteen cents.
After running the shop for so many days, Zhang Jinlan only took two seconds to calculate the number.
She counted out eighteen copper coins from her purse.
Place it on Wang Taohua’s palm.
The latter never thought that there would be money to be made.
My hands were shaking with excitement.
"Hold it, stop shaking it. If you shake it again, the copper plate will fall off. I won't be responsible if someone picks it up. Well, it's getting late. Go back and have some rest. I have to go to the shop in town early tomorrow morning. I have to go to bed early."
After waiting for so long, Zhang Jinlan was already sleepy.
After seeing off Wang Taohua and her son, she yawned and went to the toilet in the backyard.
Then I went back to my room and went to sleep.
Tonight Jiang Fubao still slept with his two cousins.
The two sisters got up early.
So Jiang Fubao slept in the innermost.
The window is half open.
The moonlight outside poured into the room.
I could vaguely feel the breeze blowing.
There were mosquitoes buzzing in the room from time to time, and Jiang Fubao was a little insomniac.
Seeing that his two cousins were also staring blankly with their eyes closed, Jiang Fubao started chatting with them for no apparent reason.
"Sister, do you like the clothes that grandma bought for you? I picked two of them for you, and the remaining beige one was picked by grandma."
The sweet voice gently entered the ears of the two sisters.
Sun Lai Di replied, "I like it, but three sets are too many. We can just wear old clothes. Sister Wanru's old clothes are also new, without any patches, and they feel cold to the touch. We are not hot at all when wearing them. Aunt Yun also brought us the old clothes we changed out of before, so two sets are enough for changing.
In fact, you don't need to buy new clothes, Fubao, you are about the same age as your sister, and I am only a few years older than you. Otherwise, you can wear all our new clothes. You are pretty and not as dark as us. It would be a waste for us to wear them. Don't worry, I will tell grandma that we don't want to wear them. "
Sun Lai Di was afraid that her grandmother would mistakenly think that her cousin had stolen their clothes, so she was considerate and thought of an excuse.
For her.
Able to escape from human traffickers.
She was very satisfied.
She didn't want any clothes, new or not.
As long as their grandmother didn't send the two sisters back to Sunjia Village.
Let her do anything.
I was worried that raising myself and my sister would cost a lot of food.
Sun Lai Di didn't even dare to eat her fill.
Jiang Fubao was always paying attention to her mood and kept picking food for her.
This allowed the two frightened sisters to eat their fill.
"How can it be considered a waste to give them to you to wear? You are my sisters, not strangers. Grandma can buy new clothes for me, and she can buy clothes for you as well. Besides, Grandma also said that when you two are seven years old, I will register you in our household registration. Then you will no longer be surnamed Sun, but Jiang. Grandma also said that she will give you a new name.
What's with the words "Laidi, the dead sister", grandma said that it's too harsh, grandma is really good to you, she loves you too, and so do we, no one will abandon you, you don't have to get up so early in the future, just sleep in with me, there are adults to do the housework, we are still children, we will help the family with the housework when we grow up."
Jiang Fubao said this without blushing or beating his heart.
A person in his twenties has been pretending to be a child for too long.
It's as if everyone has become childish.
"What? Help us change our surnames? Seriously? Sister Fubao, please don't lie to us. Grandma is really going to help us change our surnames? Then, aren't we members of the Jiang family from now on?"
Sun Lai Di's eyes widened.
The dark eyes are particularly bright in the house at night.
Illuminated by the moonlight.
It looks a bit scary.
"Yes, it's true, but grandma said to keep it a secret for now, so don't let her know that I told you."
Jiang Fubao put his index finger in front of his mouth.
With a sigh.
"Well, we won't tell anyone. That's great, Sister Fubao. We are really a family from now on."
Sun Lai Di felt like crying.
Since it was sold by my grandma.
She felt like she no longer had a home.
Even if I go back to my grandparents' home.
She was also feeling uneasy.
After all, my maternal grandparents' house is my maternal family's, and it is not right for someone to live there.
The villagers would also point fingers.
But from then on, she and her sister took the surname Jiang.
Then this is her home.
Think of this.
Sun Lai Di shed a few drops of crystal 'pearls'.
When Jiang Fubao heard her sister crying, she stretched out her short arms like lotus roots and gently patted Sun Lai Di's back.
Then he coaxed her for a long time like a little adult.
After lying down, she hummed a modern nursery rhyme.
He managed to coax both of them and himself to sleep together.
When you wake up.
I unexpectedly saw Sun Lai Di and her sister getting dressed.
It was already half light outside.
At this time yesterday, they were already up.
It seems that the two sisters listened to what she said last night.
Jiang Fubao was very pleased.
As she had to stuff things under the bed, Jiang Fubao could only continue to pretend to sleep. She only got up after the two sisters left.
When I came out, I happened to see my mother hanging out the washed clothes.
The new clothes of my two cousins were hung on the linen ropes, fluttering in the morning breeze. They were colorful and looked particularly beautiful.
