For the first time in his life, Zhong Mingwei wanted to hit a child. He rolled up his sleeves slowly. He looked at Ah Chou silently. Seeing Ah Chou's worried and nervous eyes, Zhong Mingwei felt angry and hurt. In the end, he couldn't bear to really hit him, so he put down his sleeves. Then he gritted his teeth in self-torture.
What to do?
What should I do when faced with such an annoying yet lovable little girl?
Zhong Mingwei sighed silently in his heart. He had never thought that not having children could have such a big disadvantage. If he had some experience in disciplining children, he would not be so helpless with this little girl.
"Shall I help you down?" Ah Chou watched Zhong Mingwei roll up his sleeves, then let them down. He had no idea what he wanted to do. But looking at his dark face, Ah Chou was worried that he was so depressed that he couldn't even speak.
Zhong Mingwei bit his teeth even harder. The sound of "crunching" was so loud that he almost bled.
Ah Chou was about to speak again when he heard someone knocking at the door.
"Is anyone there?"
"It's Mr. Chen!" Ah Chou recognized Chen Qingxuan's voice and hurriedly pushed the bowl away. Then he jumped off the kang, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out. He ran to the outer hall, then hurriedly turned back, leaning against the door frame and said to Zhong Mingwei with a dark face. "I'll come back and help you with the toilet later! Just hold it in for a while!"
The next second, Zhong Mingwei bit his lips with his white teeth, as if he was biting that annoying girl's face.
"Mr. Chen, here we come!"
Listening to Ah Chou's loud voice and the sound of her hurried trot, Zhong Mingwei rolled his eyes silently, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, but he couldn't eat. When the sound of the door opening was heard outside, Zhong Mingwei suddenly put down the bowl, then crawled to the window, gently pushed it open, and looked out through the crack.
…
"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Ah Chou opened the door and saw Chen Qingxuan standing at the door with two bags in his hands.
"What? You're still calling me sir?" Chen Qingxuan looked at Ah Chou with a smile, "I heard from grandma that she has already acknowledged you as her granddaughter. You should also call me brother."
"Yes, fortunately Grandma Chen doesn't dislike me..." Ah Chou was a little shy, and looked at Chen Qingxuan with her dark eyes, but she couldn't call him brother after a long time. After a long time, she lowered her head a little disappointedly, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I... I really can't call you brother."
"It's okay, take your time, and yell when you can, there's no rush." Chen Qingxuan looked at the drooping little girl in front of him and smiled gently, "Come to think of it, I've never been a brother to anyone, so I'm not used to it. Let's just get used to each other, okay?"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Ah Chou was very grateful. Chen Qingxuan was really a very, very good person.
"Oh, this is the new job that grandma has assigned to you. A girl in the village is getting married on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and she wants you to embroider a few pieces on her wedding dress. The pattern and the needlework are all here," Chen Qingxuan said as he handed a bundle to Ah Chou. "Grandma asked me to tell you that you have to finish the embroidery before the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. They have already agreed that if you embroider it well, they will give you four cents of silver. If the bride likes it, there will be extra money as a reward."
"Thank you, Grandma Chen!" Ah Chou was overjoyed. She was just worrying about firewood, meat, vegetables and other things for the winter, and now Grandma Chen had given her another job. This was really a timely help.
"You're welcome. It's because you're good at embroidery. People who have seen your work are eager to find you to do their work for them," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile. "Grandma has been selecting for you these days. Finally, she decided on this one and returned all the small embroidery pieces to you. This way, you don't have to run down the mountain all the time and earn little money."
"Grandma Chen is so kind to me. I will buy her some cakes next time I go down the mountain." Achou said hurriedly.
