No wonder some people say that if you tell a lie once, you may have to tell a hundred lies to cover it up, and you never know if you will fail to cover up the lie one time and be exposed.

But there are some secrets that cannot be told to others, so one can only tell some white lies to fool people.

Unless she tells the truth, she will continue to make up stories even if she has to.

When Jiang Xiuqing heard Jun Ning say this, she glared at her helplessly again, "These are food and daily necessities for the family. I can't let you pay for them alone. Listen to me. I'll give you the money later and you can give it to your cousin."

Jun Ning knew that Jiang Xiuqing should have some money.

Since she insisted on paying, Jun Ning no longer refused and winked at Jiang Xiuqing playfully, "Okay, okay, mom will pay for it, and I can save money."

Jiang Xiuqing poked her forehead with a doting and helpless look, "You, you are so old, but still so naughty..."

Jun Ning smiled sweetly back at her.

The things Jun Ning brought back this time included: a 50-jin bag of rice, a 50-jin bag of refined flour, a box of canned meat sauce, a box of bacon, and two barrels of peanut oil.

There is also a box of peach wine, a box of grapes, a box of apples, a box of peaches, and a box of various dried fruits and nuts.

Jiang Xiuqing roughly estimated the price, then took out a thousand yuan from the room and handed it to Jun Ning, "Ningning, take this money, and give it to your cousin when you get back, okay?"

Jun Ning only took out two hundred yuan, "Mom, these are enough."

Jiang Xiuqing glared at her and stuffed the rest of the money into her hands, "Don't lie to me, take it quickly!"

Jun Ning sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll take it, okay?"

Jun Ning thought that she would secretly put it back to her room when her mother didn't find out.

Jiang Xiuqing saw Jun Ning took the money, then smiled with satisfaction, "You just came back, you must be tired? Sit down and have a cup of tea first, I'll go cook."

Jun Ning quickly stopped her, "Mom, I'll do it, you take a rest."

Jiang Xiuqing didn't want to see Jun Ning busying herself, so she just sat there waiting for dinner.

She smiled and said to Jun Ning: "Then let's cook together, it will be faster."

Jun Ning smiled and responded: "Okay, let's go together."

While they were cooking dinner, Jun Ziru and his eldest son Jun Chengde also came back.

The second chef, Jun Chengzhi, is still working in the restaurant and he usually doesn't get home until after eight o'clock in the evening.

The last time Jun Ning came back was at night, and Jun Chengde was so busy that he stayed in the research institute at night and did not go home, so he did not see Jun Ning.

Later, when he found out that Jun Ning had come back, he still blamed his parents and brother for not going to the factory to call him back.

This time, when Jun Chengde saw Jun Ning coming back, he excitedly went up to her and hugged her, "Ningning, welcome home."

Seeing his tall and majestic elder brother, Jun Ning happily hugged him back, "Thank you, elder brother!"

After Jun Chengde hugged her for a while, he let her go and started asking about her recent life.

Even though his parents had told him about Jun Ning, he still wanted to hear what Jun Ning had to say, as if he would only feel at ease after hearing what she said.

Jun Ning told him his story again.

Jun Ning took out a bottle of peach blossom wine and poured a glass for each family member.

Jiang Xiuqing saw Jun Ning pouring wine and said with a smile: "Aning, your father was reluctant to drink the wine you brought back, for fear that it would be gone after drinking it."

Jun Ning immediately said to Jun Ziru, "Dad, just drink as much as you want. When you're done, I'll get you more. I brought back another box today, with six bottles in it. I'll bring back a few more boxes next week."

At this point, she reminded them, "Drink one cup every night before going to bed, and I guarantee that you will be healthy and all diseases will be cured. If you are all healthy, I can rest assured when I work outside!"

Jiang Xiuqing asked her worriedly, "Aning, this peach blossom wine is so effective, a bottle must cost a lot of money, right?"

Jun Ning looked at her helplessly, "Mom, I've already told you that my cousin gave me the cost price, so it doesn't cost much. Just drink it without worry. Anyway, I will take care of my cousin's side and I won't owe her any favors."

Jiang Xiuqing wanted to say something, but Jun Ziru said to her, "Ningning knows how to act properly, so let's not talk too much. If you have money, give Ningning more."

Jun Ning quickly said, "Dad, Mom saw that I brought back so many things today and gave me a thousand yuan. I said no, but Mom wouldn't let me."

Jun Ziru smiled at Jun Ning and said gently, "Your mother is right. You brought so many things back, and you had to spend money to buy them. She should have given the money back to you."

Jun Ning said in a coquettish voice: "You give me money every time, so I have no chance to be filial to you, right?"

Jun Ziru laughed and said, "How can there be no chance? When we are too old to work, we will stop giving you money. We will just wait for you children to be filial to us."

Jun Ning also smiled and responded: "Okay, we will be filial to you and mom when the time comes, but we are still filial now, right? Big brother, third brother."

Jun Chengde and Jun Chengye nodded in unison and said, "Yes!"

The second brother Jun Chengzhi came back when they were almost done eating.

As soon as he saw Jun Ning coming back, his eyes lit up, "Ning Ning, you're back? Did you bring back bacon and meat sauce?"

Jiang Xiuqing smiled and glared at him, "You guy, as soon as you came back you only knew how to ask for food, and you didn't even care about your sister."

Jun Chengzhi quickly explained, "How could I not care about my sister? I am observant. When I saw that my sister looked happy and her face was rosy, I could tell that she was doing well. That's why I asked her directly about food."

Jun Ning smiled and replied, "I brought back a box of bacon and a box of canned food this time. Second brother, why are you asking this?"

Jiang Xiuqing complained to Aning directly, "He just likes to show off. He took the bacon and canned food to the restaurant and said he wanted to give it to his master to try. But his master got addicted after eating it. Now he keeps asking him for more every day. He deserves it!"

Jun Chengzhi refused to accept and tried to defend himself, "Mom, my master taught me the craft, and as an apprentice, I saw something good and I should give it to my master as a gift. Isn't that right!"

Jun Ning nodded, "Indeed, second brother, how much more do you want? Tell me the quantity, and I will bring it back to you next time I come back."

Jun Chengzhi was overjoyed, "Can these things be bought?"

Jun Ning nodded, "Of course."

Jun Chengzhi made a bitter face and said depressedly: "Oh, Aning, why didn't you tell your brother? You made me stay here for a long time."

Jun would rather not help him take the blame, "Second brother, you didn't ask me, how do I know you want to buy these things?"
