Meng Qidi only paid lip service to the idea of the little girl going to school. The children in the village who were in the first grade were all eight or nine years old. If Xiao Chengzi was sent there, she would be too young and would easily be bullied by the older children.
After the ditch was dug, Meng Qidi began to put cement around it. She originally used a shovel, but later she just used her hands.
"Aunt, I want to play too." Little Orange squatted aside and watched for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
If I wasn't afraid of getting beaten for playing in the mud, I would have reached out my hand long ago.
Meng Qidi glanced at her calmly and said, "You are allowed to make a handprint. Do you know what a handprint is?"
The little girl shook her head obediently.
"Stretch out your hand, like this." Meng Qidi had cement on her hand, so it was not convenient to press it with her, so she could only pretend to press it for her to see.
I pressed lightly on the wet cement and a handprint appeared on it.
Ling Cheng's eyes lit up, "Then can I use both hands?"
Meng Qidi looked at her excited little appearance and couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded gently. Since one hand can press it, both hands can press it, then just press it.
Seeing her aunt nod, the little girl rolled up her sleeves excitedly.
Her hands were dirty, so Meng Qidi didn't plan to help her. She let her do it herself and worked seriously. She smeared the cement with her hands, and her speed was much faster...
"Aunt, look!"
The little girl's surprised voice came from a distance. Meng Qidi looked up suspiciously, and then her eyebrows jumped...
The wet cement ditch was covered with small handprints, which were particularly deep...
"Hahaha."
When Wang Jinhua heard Xiaoqi say this, she burst into laughter and poked her granddaughter in displeasure, "You're always messing with your aunt."
The little girl looked at her grandmother innocently, "Auntie said so. Auntie said to press it like that."
Picking up the little girl, Wang Jinhua asked helplessly, "What should we do now?"
Meng Qidi carefully applied cement and finished the ditch. "It's okay. It won't have a big impact. I was planning to make a cover, but since she has left her fingerprints, I won't cover it. I'll leave it for her to see for herself when she grows up."
In fact, she could have wiped it off with cement, but the handprint really didn't have much impact. Keeping it might also be a memory in the future.
"That's right, let her see this mischief herself in the future."
Since there was no need to make a cover, Meng Qidi simply moved the extra bricks and cement to the septic tank and built a row of guardrails with the bricks.
I'm also afraid that this girl will fall into a septic tank when she grows up.
In the past, there were many news reports about children falling into septic tanks.
The guardrail was completed, but there was still plenty of cement. Meng Qidi glanced around and simply pasted cement from the back door to the pool.
By ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Qidi had finished everything and now all she had to do was water the plants every day.
There is still space for a few bags of cement. When she comes back from the county town, she will build a small path from the vacant land in the east to this place.
After instructing the old lady not to let Little Orange step on the cement behind, Meng Qidi went to the county town the next day. However, she brought Little Radish with her on the way...
The little girl has been too clingy lately and kept crying and asking to go with her, so she just bought a stove and took her with her.
She had originally planned to just find the stove and go back, but since the little girl had followed her, she would naturally take her for a walk.
It was the first time for the little girl to come to the county town. She danced with excitement and kept chattering when being held.
I haven't been here for over a month. There are more and more people selling goods in this county. After the rebellion was put down, people have become bolder and bolder. All kinds of businesses have been started and the whole street has become more lively.
I originally thought that since I was holding the little girl, there wouldn't be much to buy, but after taking her for a walk, my hands were full. I could only find a place where no one was around to put the things into the space.
"Xiao Qi? You...why didn't you come to find me when you brought Xiao Chengzi to the city?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Before Meng Qidi turned around, she heard Xiao Chengzi's excited voice, "Uncle Nie Zheng!"
Meng Qidi turned around helplessly and said, "Take her for a walk."
Glancing at the book in his hand, he asked, "Are you out here to buy information?"
"Yes, I am also preparing for the college entrance examination. Why did you buy so much? I will help you carry it. Come to my house for lunch at noon."
Nie Zheng gently pinched the little girl's face and wanted to help carry the things.
Meng Qidi subconsciously avoided it and said, "No, there's not much food, and we don't need to eat. We'll just take a look around and go back later."
Meng Yuzhen pushed Nie Zheng down the stairs. Although Nie Zheng might think that this matter had nothing to do with him, his mother and Nie Hai might not think the same way. They felt that they were a family.
Nie Zheng's face darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips, "Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal, and you are not allowed to refuse, or I'll be angry."
Nie Zheng spoke quickly, not letting Meng Qidi refuse. Glancing at the things in her hand, she sighed, "Okay."
Well, now she has to carry it with her. It’s really too difficult for her.
The person who must be the happiest to be able to eat in a restaurant is Xiaochengzi.
However, after going to a restaurant with her aunt once, the little girl no longer looked around like an ignorant person.
Instead, she walked in front with her hands behind her back and a stern face. When she saw an empty seat by the window, she hurried over.
There was a hint of surprise in Nie Zheng's eyes. The little girl was dressed beautifully. If he didn't know that she was a country girl, he would have thought she was a city child.
Xiaoqi is the only one who can teach.
The three of them found a seat and sat down, and a waiter came over with the menu. The restaurants in this city are different, quiet and comfortable.
"Let me pay. You don't make any money." Meng Qidi said in advance. She didn't like taking advantage of others.
Having learned Nie Zheng's way of speaking, Meng Qidi did not give Nie Zheng a chance to object. "If you disagree, we can eat at separate tables."
Nie Zheng paused while ordering food, and looked at Meng Qidi with some hurt, "Sister Xiaoqi, how do you know I didn't make any money?"
"I'll pay, or we can sit at separate tables." Meng Qidi insisted.
Nie Zheng was silent, knowing that Meng Qidi had the final say, unless he didn't want to have dinner with them.
After handing the menu to the waiter for a long time, Nie Zheng spoke up, "You...you and Brother Zheng wouldn't be so polite, right?"
Meng Qidi looked at him strangely, "Why should our family be so polite? His passbook is with me, so he can't pay even if he wants to."
Can Nie Zheng be compared with Ling Xiao? Definitely not, Ling Xiao was her lifesaver in her previous life.
Nie Zheng pursed his lips, swallowed the words on his lips, and replaced them with another sentence, "If...if your sister hadn't messed around, you would be my wife..."
What he actually wanted to say was that he could see that they were a fake couple. A real couple would be together without any touching, and even their conversations would not be as intimate as those between a couple.
Meng Qidi remained calm, "You also said that if it weren't for us, then we would not be destined to be together. Nie Zheng, find someone..."
Before Meng Qidi could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sharp voice...
"Meng Qidi! You shameless vixen! I was wondering why Nie Zheng couldn't find her. I guess you must have seduced her away!"
