Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Coaxing to Sleep
"Boss, I want a bowl of mutton offal and rice noodles," Ji Huixuan walked into the store and stood in front of the counter to order skillfully. She saw a box covered with a transparent lid next to the counter, "Hey, do you have new products here?"
Zhao Ruyue was surprised and said, "Teacher Ji is here. Here are the pineapple buns and old-fashioned cakes that Xiaoqiu's father just made. I'll give you one to try."
Ji Huixuan said hurriedly: "No, no, your rice noodles are plenty, I am full after eating one bowl of rice noodles."
"If you don't want to eat it in the morning, you can take it home and eat it when you're hungry!" Zhao Ruyue ignored her waving of the hand to refuse, and directly pulled down two small plastic bags hanging next to her, and filled them with a pineapple bun and an old-fashioned cake cut into a triangle for her.
Ji Huixuan had no choice but to say somewhat embarrassedly: "Then I will shamelessly accept it."
Zhao Ruyue smiled and said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Just accept it."
While she was speaking, she had been observing Ji Huixuan's expression quietly. Not only did she not see the nervousness on her face that she had seen in the Internet cafe, but she felt that she now looked much calmer than all the other times she had seen her before.
After getting up in the morning, Ning Shiqiu helped with some work in the store. When he saw his class teacher, he ran over to say hello.
Before the holidays, many teachers would come to his restaurant to eat, but after the holidays, some teachers went traveling, some returned to their hometowns, and some had time to cook for themselves or sleep in, so fewer teachers came.
His homeroom teacher didn't come often during the holidays, so Ning Shiqiu thought she came so early today because of the overdue newspaper: "Teacher, did you come here to talk to my parents about that?"
Ji Huixuan patted his shoulder and nodded: "This matter will soon have a result, don't worry."
Ning Shiqiu nodded: "Yes! Thank you, teacher!"
The rice noodles were ready quickly. It was cooler outside in the morning, so Ji Huixuan took her bowl of rice noodles outside, looked at the familiar scenery, and ate it all slowly, one bite at a time.
She might not be able to see it in the future. She was reluctant to leave Ning Shiqiu's store, but unfortunately her hometown was not here. It seemed almost impossible to go back.
She ate very slowly, and by the time she finished, the first wave of peak customers had passed.
Seeing Zhao Ruyue was free, she put down her chopsticks and walked over: "Mother Xiaoqiu, I have something to tell you, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Zhao Ruyue nodded in surprise: "Of course, let's go to the backyard to talk? There's usually no one in the yard at this time."
Ji Huixuan nodded, followed Zhao Ruyue out of the store, turned to another door leading directly to the backyard, and walked into the backyard.
"Teacher Ji, are you going to talk about the expired newspapers?" Zhao Ruyue asked proactively.
Ji Huixuan was not surprised that she guessed that this was what she wanted to say.
After all, Ning Shiqiu has always been a student who makes teachers worry-free at school, and a child who makes parents worry-free at home.
Apart from this incident, as the class teacher, she had nothing else to discuss with parents during the holidays.
But what she said next made Zhao Ruyue both surprised and helpless.
Ji Huixuan said with a gratified smile: "Xiaoqiu's mother, I am very grateful to you and Xiaoqiu's father for your support, but I hope you will not look for other parents. I know you want to help me, but I have decided to resign."
"What?" Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but widen her eyes. She had thought that the parent last night would be more tight-lipped and had specifically reminded her not to tell anyone about this matter for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the parent's mouth was like a colander, unable to hide anything, and he turned around and told Ji Huixuan about it.
Then can she and Ning Shaoming go and talk to other parents?
Zhao Ruyue felt that this matter might have spread throughout the town by now, and there was no need for the two of them to go from house to house.
"Teacher Ji, why do you have to..." She felt it was a pity that this young teacher who had just graduated a few years ago was very responsible to his students and knew many new things that the old teachers did not understand.
For example, there were no computer classes in elementary school, and Ning Shiqiu had never taken such a class, but under the influence of Ji Huixuan, he already knew what it was and how to use it.
If you take him to a computer and let him use it, he doesn't need to be taught how to turn on the computer like his father did.
Nowadays, many teachers speak Mandarin mixed with a lot of dialects, even English teachers are like this.
In a small place like theirs, it is really rare to have a teacher who can broaden the horizons of the children.
Ji Huixuan, on the other hand, accepted her resignation well and was relieved: "In fact, when I decided to take charge of this matter, deep down in my heart, I had already prepared to resign. This matter can have a satisfactory result, and my efforts have not been in vain."
"But this matter caused you to lose your job. How can this be considered a satisfactory outcome? It was clearly not you who did anything wrong, but you have to bear the consequences."
Ji Huixuan didn't know that Zhao Ruyue knew about the online incident, so she simply said, "This matter has become a big deal in places you don't know about. An investigation team will come to investigate soon. I won't resign so soon. I will wait until there is a result before leaving."
It is not up to you whether to leave or not.
Theoretically, I don't have to leave.
But the reality is that Vice Principal Huang couldn't even stay in this small town because he was dealt with because of her. He had to either do something else or be transferred to an even poorer place where he couldn't make any money.
The people that Vice Principal Huang supports probably won't let her off easily.
If someone could just win over a few of her superiors or senior teachers at school and do something against her, she would suffer enough.
You will probably have to leave by then. Why wait until you are tortured by the work if you can leave with dignity now?
It’s better to find a way out as soon as possible.
If she wants to stay here forever, she has to be a ninja who can wait until Vice Principal Huang’s backers are investigated, transferred, or even retire.
After Ji Huixuan calmed down in the Internet cafe that day, she thought about it seriously and felt that it was too difficult. Why bother?
She has been living in a depressing environment and may have to deal with even harder work than before. By then, she would not be able to bear it while others are doing fine.
Ji Huixuan said with an open mind: "There is a proverb that goes like this: Blessings often lie in the shadows, and misfortunes often lie in the shadows. Resigning may seem like a bad thing now, but it may not be in the future.
What's more, it's not that I don't have other ways to survive. In fact, I have to thank your family for this. If you were not the first one willing to ask me to take photos on Children's Day, giving me a good start in my side job, I would not have the confidence to quit my job now. ”
"Teacher Ji, are you planning to open a photo studio in the future to take photos for people? Do you want to open it in the town or in the county? If you open it in the town, the students will know you and will definitely support your business. My family does the same. We take the children there to take photos every year."
Zhao Ruyue did not lie. After Children's Day, their family asked Ji Huixuan to take photos again. They also planned to wait until Ning Shiqiu's birthday and invite Ning Shiqiu to their home to take photos on his birthday. It would be even better if they could record the video and burn it into a CD as a souvenir.
Zhao Ruyue thought so and told Ji Huixuan so.
Ji Huixuan didn't expect that talking about this today would actually bring her some business: "Xiao Qiu's birthday is before the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? I probably won't be away by then, so I will definitely be able to take pictures or videos for you. But after I resign, I may not stay in town."
Zhao Ruyue asked in confusion: "Why? Are you worried about retaliation? Teacher Ji, you can rest assured that Vice Principal Huang has no relatives in the town. No matter how powerful he is, he can't cover up everything in the town."
Ji Huixuan said: "I'm not afraid of him. When I was in school, he was the leader and I was an ordinary teacher. I might have to be a little cautious about him, but by then I had already resigned. If I left the school environment, he would be nothing. It's just that it's difficult to rent a house in town. There are almost no houses for rent. I might either stay in the county town or go back to my hometown."
"It's good to be in the county town!" Zhao Ruyue's eyes lit up. "The students in the town are all your connections, which will be more conducive to your opening up in the early stage of your business. If someone in the town wants to take a photo with you, it will be convenient for you to go back."
"You don't have to worry about the store. We just bought four bungalows in the county town. We plan to use three of them for business. I don't know what to do with the other one. It's empty anyway."
"If you stay in the county, I can temporarily lend you the room to open a photo studio. It will definitely be difficult to start a business at the beginning. If you continue to open a studio there after half a year, I will charge you rent."
Zhao Ruyue was so excited that she said a lot of things in a row, which made Ji Huixuan confused.
The development of the matter was completely beyond Ji Huixuan's expectations.
She knew that this was taking advantage of others. A house in the county town, even a bungalow, could definitely be rented out if she wanted to.
She knew she should refuse, but the reality was that this was what she needed, very much.
It's easy to say that she will go back to her hometown, but when she really goes back, there is no room for her at home and no place for her.
There would only be one result if she went back, that is, she would be forced to get married by her family. Otherwise, she would not have run away to become a teacher in such a small town far away from home without caring about anything.
"Well, thank you so much." Ji Huixuan decided to be shameless for once.
On the day when she started her side job, wasn't it because she shamelessly asked Ning Shiqiu if he wanted to take photos that she was able to have the confidence to quit her job later on because of her side job?
If her photo studio is really opened and generates income, she can pay the rent during the initial period.
If her business fails, the worst that can happen is that she goes to work in a big city, earns money and then uses it to pay the rent.
Zhao Ruyue was very happy that she could help.
She smiled and said, "You're welcome. I should thank you. Xiaoqiu is able to meet such a good teacher like you. Maybe it will have a positive impact on his life. By the way, after you resigned, did you just plan to take ordinary commemorative photos for people at first?"
Ji Huixuan had imagined countless times how she would make money if she were a photographer instead of a teacher.
So when Zhao Ruyue asked, she blurted out without thinking: "At the beginning, I can only do 'guerrilla warfare' and run around to take pictures for people. I need to accumulate more funds and connections in my spare time to set up a photo studio, buy some equipment and props, and take artistic photos or wedding photos or wedding videos for people. I plan to visit all the towns around the county when the time comes."
Zhao Ruyue thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever thought about what else you can do when you are running around the surrounding towns?"
"Do you mean taking landscape photos, some photos of people's daily lives, and photos reflecting all walks of life and submitting them to magazines and newspapers? I have taken them, but maybe my skills are not up to par yet, so the response has been mediocre so far."
Speaking of this, Ji Huixuan herself felt a little regretful. That was something she had tried to shoot when she was in college. At that time, she was thinking that it would be great if she could sign a contract with a magazine and become a full-time contracted photographer with those photos.
Zhao Ruyue shook her head and said, "No, what I mean is, taking black and white photos of the elderly, that is, posthumous photos. I don't know if you would be averse to this. Many towns don't have photo studios, and some elderly people will secretly go to the county town in advance to take a black and white photo to keep.
But many elderly people have never even been to the county town, and they can't go there before they die, without even leaving a photo. They and their families will definitely feel very sorry. If you take photos of them, you might be able to earn some money for taking family photos. ”
According to Zhao Ruyue's understanding, in fact many elderly people like to take photos, not just posthumous photos, but ordinary photos as well. It's just that no one talks about it, so they seldom think of taking photos.
In addition, it is too troublesome to go to a photo studio, so they often include the travel expenses in the cost of taking photos, which makes the price of photos more expensive for them.
Some people came to their door to take photos and had the photos developed and sent to them, which undoubtedly solved a lot of trouble for them, and there were many people willing to take photos.
It’s just that the photographer’s profit is relatively low.
"Your suggestion gave me a good inspiration. Thank you so much!" Ji Huixuan was so excited this time that she couldn't help but hold Zhao Ruyue's hand.
After she realized what was happening, she let go of him embarrassedly: "Sorry, I was too excited."
"What's the big deal? You're not a man. Let's make it a deal. I'll keep the room for you."
Zhao Ruyue wanted to help people to the end, so she sent Ji Huixuan away.
She went to tell Ning Shaoming about Ji Huixuan, and then discussed with him: "When we start to renovate the three bungalows at home that will be used to open a store, can we also simply renovate the room that will be used by Teacher Ji?"
Ning Shaoming agreed without thinking too much: "Okay, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Ruyue said, "Here's what I thought. I'll keep the small room inside for Teacher Ji and the one that opened the repair shop for me. You can handle the rest yourself. I'm going to get an electrician's license and do the plumbing and electricity myself. We can save some money."
If one of their own shops had a partition, Ning Shaoming and his two children could temporarily stay there for a night if they couldn't get home in time.
She didn't know about the electrician certificate before, but later she found out from chatting with classmates at night school that one can take the exam for the electrician certificate after graduating from junior high school, and she has already started reading books.
After reading the book, Zhao Ruyue felt that, in fact, these were not difficult. She used to be biased towards science subjects when she was in junior high school, but now she has experience studying in school. She has formed a habit of reading and studying, and she can continue reading. She finds it very simple to learn and is very confident in the possibility of passing the exam.
Zhao Ruyue continued, "Once the renovation is done, we will put a 1.2-meter-wide small wooden bed in the inner room for Teacher Ji, which will be big enough for her to sleep on."
But if they come to prepare it, there will really be only one bed, and probably just a mat on it.
Ji Huixuan had to buy mattresses and other things by herself.
By this calculation, it wouldn't cost Zhao Ruyue much to renovate her home, it just would be a bit busy.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming did not plan to continue contacting other students' parents.
The first person we contacted on the first day leaked the news. It would be strange if this thing could succeed.
However, many parents heard about this from the first parent they visited and came to ask about it.
Zhao Ruyue could only say, "I don't know now. I can only wait for news. It's summer vacation now. I don't know who is in charge at school. Even if I know who is in charge, I may not be able to find the person."
Some parents who wanted to return the newspapers and get their money back said: "Then the class teacher and the teacher won't do anything?"
"How can the class teacher and the teachers manage it? The money doesn't even go into their pockets. The class teacher and the teachers are just the ones who pass messages and do the work and get caught in the middle. It's useless to find them.
A few days ago, Xiaoqiu’s head teacher came to my shop to eat rice noodles and said that their wages had not been paid again.
In the past, she would come to my store to eat rice noodles every now and then. Every time she would buy a bowl of rice noodles and eat it in the store, she would also pack a hot dog bun, cup cake, Dorayaki or something to take home. Now, look, how many teachers still come here regularly? ”
In fact, it’s because of the holidays that fewer teachers come.
But these parents don’t know what the real situation is. Zhao Ruyue just said that, and they won’t investigate further.
"Then the teacher must know where the person who collects the money is, right? I heard that they all live in the school."
"Don't they still have their hometown? What if the situation gets too bad and someone reports it to them and they stay back home and don't come back? What can we do?"
The parents all sighed, "Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have paid for this crappy newspaper. The ink on it is as smudged as the bottom of a pot. What a waste of money."
"Yeah, if it weren't for my prodigal son insisting on buying it, I wouldn't have wanted to buy it for him. Now what? It's a waste of money! Giving away the money for eight months of newspapers at once is several hundred, which is not a small amount!"
"You had to buy it then, because everyone had it except yours. How could you let your children look at others with envy?"
"Forget it. We can only wait for news. Madam Boss, if there are other teachers coming to buy things from you next time, please don't forget to ask for the follow-up of this matter for us."
Zhao Ruyue agreed: "Don't worry, my family has also spent money. Although we won't make trouble, we must keep an eye on this matter. Although we seem to make a lot of money by running a shop, it is actually very tiring.
Look at my child’s father and cousin in the kitchen. They are exhausted and sweating all day long, and their hands are cramped from flipping the wok. There are many places to spend money at home, including the commercial oven they bought, which cost a lot of money.
By the way, the store has baked new bread and cakes in the oven. Would you like to try them? ”
One parent joked, "Does it cost money to try it? I wouldn't dare to try it if it costs money."
"What are you talking about? How can I charge you for trying it?" Zhao Ruyue took out a plate with pineapple buns and old-fashioned cakes cut into small pieces, and said, "Use a toothpick to poke it yourself. It won't dirty your hands. Try it as you like."
After they tasted it, Zhao Ruyue sold several more portions. One parent even complained that she prepared too little and that what he bought was not enough to share when he took it back.
Ning Shaoming made some grilled food this morning, and they were all sold out by now.
He actually prepared fewer things, and after opening the store for several months, he had released new products several times.
He is no longer as conservative in making things as he was in the beginning. He already has an idea of how much he can make to sell.
However, Ning Shaoming still underestimated the scarcity of the things sold in his store in the town.
Theirs is the only shop like this in the whole town, selling freshly baked bread every day. It is a one-of-a-kind business and they cannot even make enough to sell.
An old customer heard the news a little late and rushed over to buy it, but it was sold out.
Urging Ning Shaoming to do more.
Ning Shaoming said: "It takes quite a long time to bake it fresh."
Customers know that his family will push the TV and DVD player to the store in the afternoon to watch, so they come on time. Some customers are like him.
After hearing what Ning Shaoming said, they sat down on the chairs and said, "It's okay. I have plenty of time. I heard that freshly baked ones are the most delicious."
Ning Shaoming looked at the time and said, "Okay, I'll do it now."
Fortunately, he was not unprepared.
He put some dough in the refrigerator in advance. Now he took it out, covered it with clean gauze and let it cool down at room temperature. It will be ready for use soon.
Originally, I was planning to make some dough in the afternoon and sell it at the night market in the evening.
Now I can only take them away if they can’t be sold out.
Zhao Ruyue also had some free time, so she simply put on her bamboo hat and went out to do what she couldn't do last night - go to the recycling station in town.
I was going to check if there were any broken MP3 or MP4 last night, but her father came suddenly and the two of them were delayed because they were discussing the wholesale of items at home to sell.
Zhao Ruyue is taking her daughter there now.
When we got there, the girl walked in familiarly and shouted, "Boss! Boss, come out quickly!"
"Here I come!" The boss came out with a bowl in his hand and asked Ning Shixia when he saw her, "Have you collected enough junk to sell again? Why didn't you come with your grandfather this time?"
Ning Shixia: "My mother and I are not here to sell anything. We are here to sell things. Do you have any MP3 or MP4? My mother wants to buy a few to study."
"Oh, what are you talking about? Is your mother a scientist?"
Ning Shixia put her hands on her waist and raised her chin: "My mother is not a scientist, but she also studies this. She is amazing, the best in the world and the universe. If you don't believe me, bring it out and let my mother try it!"
When the recycling station owner heard Ning Shixia talking about buying things, he felt pain in his heart.
If I had known that Ning Shixia's mother could really repair those two TVs, it would have been great if I had gone there and paid some money to ask her to help fix them. I could have potentially made a thousand bucks by reselling them.
In the end, it was picked up by those two little brats.
At the moment, he did have a few broken MP3 and MP4 players on hand, but he didn't want to sell them: "No, there aren't many people here who have these things, how can I get them? If you want to buy them, you have to go to the county town to look for them."
Ning Shixia believed it and said regretfully: "Well, it's your loss that you can't see my mother's repair skills. Mom, let's go?"
The child couldn't see it, but Zhao Ruyue could see that the boss was not telling the truth.
But the other party was unwilling to sell the things, and she couldn't force the sale, so she could only take her daughter's hand and go home.
Fortunately, after Zhao Ruyue went to the county town in the afternoon, after seeing the house recommended by Zhang Yanjun, she asked Zheng Xiu to take her to visit several recycling stations in the county town, and she did receive several.
The house recommended by Zhang Yanjun is indeed good. First of all, it is quite high, with three floors.
Secondly, the overall area is not small, and there are two old trees in the front and back yards that look to be several decades old. These trees will also receive certain compensation when they are demolished.
Finally, the building is quite old. This family should be one of the earliest merchants after the reform and opening up, otherwise they could not have afforded to build a three-story building in the county town with their fixed salary at that time.
The cost of building a house was low at that time, and now the seller will not come back, so he just wants to dispose of it as soon as possible. In addition, the building is quite old, so the price is just within the range that she and Ning Shaoming can afford.
Zhao Ruyue returned the key to the owner of the neighboring convenience store in the building, and took the opportunity to call the client to ask if there was any room for bargaining.
After greeting the client, she said to him, "I think this house is nice, but it's too old and needs a lot of repairs. Many things in the house are broken and it will cost us money to fix them. Can you please ask the owner if the price can be reduced a little?"
The client said: "I can convey your message, but I also hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise when my vacation is over, I won't have time to come back and deal with this matter."
After she hung up the phone, the shop owner asked her, "Nowadays, people like to buy houses in residential areas. They will buy them with loans even if they don't have enough money. Why do you want to buy an old house like this?"
Of course, Zhao Ruyue would not tell the truth to someone she had just met for a day: "We heard that we need to have a house in the county town so that our children can go to school in the county town, so we thought of buying a house in the county town.
But my husband and I have unstable incomes and not much savings. We are worried that we won't be able to pay back the loans we take out to buy a commercial property. We don't dare to take risks so we can only look for a house like this. Although this one is a bit old, it will also reduce the pressure in the future. ”
"That's right. You two are far-sighted. Studying in the county is indeed better than in the surrounding villages and towns. When your children have a promising future, you can let them buy commercial housing on their own. I also told my children that the ability of parents is limited. They have to work hard on their own in the future."
Zhao Ruyue chatted with the store owner for a few words, then said she had something else to do and left.
As soon as she left, the proprietress picked up the phone and dialed the same number as Zhao Ruyue.
I said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I have asked. The person who came to see the house said that she wanted to buy the house here for her child's education and she didn't have much savings. She looked at the house very carefully and asked me if the two trees in the yard could be cut down and whether it would be bad to cut them down. She was a little worried that cutting down the trees would affect the feng shui, but she also wanted to make a bigger place for the children to play.
I think she really wants to buy it. If she is not honest, she won't ask these questions.
Think about it, although our area looks shabby, we can go to the model primary and junior high schools in the county. It is definitely a good idea to buy a house here for this reason. It's just that few people know this now, so they dislike this place.
When you call someone abroad, tell that person to sell it if the price is right. He is unwilling to rent it out room by room, and no one is willing to spend extra money to rent a whole shabby house like this. This house will easily fall into disrepair if no one lives in it, and it will be even more difficult to sell it in the future. ”
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Okay, I'll tell him, that's it, and hung up."
"Wait, I helped him manage the keys and the house-hunting fees, how do I calculate the final month's fee?"
"If it's not a month, can I give you a month's leave?"
Having earned another month's salary for free, the shop owner was so happy that her face was beaming with joy: "Oh, this is what we call generosity! I'll hang up now."
In the evening, Zheng Xiu went to pick up Zhao Ruyue first, and then turned to the night market to pick up Ning Shaoming.
The two children have not come with them to the county town in recent days.
Because they fill their time every day by watching TV, watching DVDs, listening to music, reading comics, story books, and doing summer homework at home, they actually feel like they don't have enough time.
The original plan to pick up my mother from school every day was carried out a bit perfunctorily. I just watched her and Ning Shaoming get in the car, and then stood at the door and waved goodbye, as if I was sending them to school.
When Zhao Ruyue returned home, the two children had already taken a bath by themselves.
Ning Shixia has now learned to take a bath by herself, but because she is small, she sometimes doesn't rub herself clean enough. Zhao Ruyue has to rub her elbows and other places carefully for her every few days.
When Zhao Ruyue walked into the yard, Ning Shixia had just come out of the bathroom. When she saw her, she rushed over to her and said, "Mom, school is finally over. I missed you so much!"
"Really?" Zhao Ruyue pretended to be sad. "No one sent me to school in the county town today. I saw other people's parents had children to pick them up, but I didn't."
Ning Shixia would not be fooled. She knew everything about her mother's classmates: "Mom, don't lie to me, many uncles and aunts in your class have no one to pick them up. I know everything!"
Zhao Ruyue continued to pretend: "But you guys have spoiled me so much that I'm used to you picking me up. Today you didn't pick me up, and I'm so sad. What should I do?"
As soon as she said she was sad, Ning Shixia became anxious: "Mom, don't be sad. I will tell you several stories tonight, okay?"
Seeing her daughter's serious look, Zhao Ruyue also pretended to be serious: "Okay, I'll come find you after I finish taking a shower."
After taking a bath, he went to his daughter's room and saw no one there. Ning Shaoming quietly pointed to their room and said, "I'm waiting for you in our room. But they wouldn't let me in. They said that today is for telling stories to mom and no one else can listen."
Seeing his sour tone, Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh for a long time before going in.
I thought my daughter would not be able to hold on and fall asleep, but I didn't expect that she actually insisted on not falling asleep.
When he saw her come in, he patted the pillow beside him and said, "Come and lie down, mom. I'm going to start telling you a story. Today it's my turn to tell you a story to put you to sleep."
"Okay, here I come!" Zhao Ruyue went over and lay down, and began to listen to the story, "Okay, I'm ready."
Ning Shixia opened her storybook, pointed at the table of contents carefully, and imitated the teacher's tone: "Okay, then, dear children, no, dear adults, the story I will tell you today is "Thumbelina". Once upon a time..."
After telling one story, she was still not satisfied, so she told one after another. Her father had just finished taking a shower and was unable to come in to listen to the special story that was told to her mother.
Ning Shaoming couldn't do anything with the mother and daughter. He could only sit in the main room, calculating today's accounts and waiting for his daughter's instructions.
In the meantime, Ning Shiqiu came out of his room to go to the toilet. Passing by the main room, the father and son looked at each other.
Ning Shiqiu quickly pretended to yawn and said, "I'm so sleepy. I have to go to bed after going to the toilet." After saying that, he ran away.
Only my little fool sister would think that adults also need to be told bedtime stories before going to bed.
Ning Shaoming: “…”
Less than half an hour later, the door of the room was suddenly opened.
Ning Shaoming turned his head and saw Zhao Ruyue carefully holding her daughter out. She held back her laughter and whispered to him, "Our precious daughter said she would coax me to sleep, but as she told the story, her voice got quieter and quieter, and she actually coaxed herself to sleep."
Ning Shaoming put down the account book in his hand and walked forward: "This little fat boy is quite heavy now, can I carry him?"
"No, I can hold her. The baby will wake up easily if I hold her again and again." Zhao Ruyue walked a few steps with the baby in her arms, and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something. "I was so busy playing with my daughter that I forgot to send the things I had wholesaled for my dad."
Ning Shaoming glanced at the time and said, "They should all be asleep at this time. I'll go out to buy meat tomorrow morning and deliver it to them.
By the way, I just heard from Xiaoqiu that the idea you gave is starting to work. Xiaoqiu gave all the discs in his house over there, without keeping any, and said he would play them there first. He also brought Xiaoxia to join in the fun.
Now the kids on Xiaoqiao Street love to go to your mother’s house to watch movies. I guess the kids on Daqiao Street will follow soon. ”
