Chapter 23: The mystery of Chu Sangning's life, the king of children

But the woman had no memory. She only remembered that her name was Qiao Xizhi and she didn't know anything else.

Later, the woman died of illness a few years after giving birth to the child. Chu Yuanlin hung his lover's jade pendant around the girl's neck as a remembrance.

Who could have thought that even until his death, Chu Yuanlin maintained a normal relationship with Qiao Xizhi, she slept on the bed and he slept on the floor.

"Xizhi, if you miss your daughter, just come back in your dreams. I, I miss you too." Chu Yuanlin's eyes were red as he held the photo album in his arms.

They had only been together for a few years, but he wanted to wait for her for a lifetime.

"They all advised me to find another one, but I didn't want to. I felt like you hadn't left. It was just like before. You held Ningning and played on the chair, and I cooked in the kitchen. We were a happy family together."

Chu Yuanlin wiped away his tears and gently placed the photo album on the table. "Ningning is my biological daughter. Don't worry, Xizhi. I will never let Ningning down."

He was about to say something when someone knocked on the door. "Is Chu Yuanlin home? Here's your delivery."

Chu Yuanlin immediately thought of his daughter who was thousands of miles away. He did not even bother to wipe away his tears and went out to pick up the express delivery.

Seeing the unfamiliar address and familiar sender, he smiled and said, "This kid even sent me express mail."

He opened it and found a pair of gloves, two pairs of cloth shoes, some dried fruits and pickled vegetables, and a large bag of sausage at the bottom.

There was another letter: Dad, I am doing well in Changxing Village. The villagers are very warm and welcoming. I sent you some local specialties, including hand-sewn cloth shoes. I am doing well here, so don’t worry about me…

Chu Sangning wrote a long page of rambling, and Chu Yuanlin was even more moved when he read it. The grown man cried with tears and snot.

When he went to the factory the next day, his eyes were swollen. Others laughed at him and said, "Old Chu, what treasure did you find yesterday? You are so happy that your eyes are swollen."

"My girl sent me these things from afar, gloves, cloth shoes, and sausage."

Seeing Chu Yuanlin showing off, the others turned around and left. Well, if they were caught by him, he would definitely talk for half an hour without stopping.

"Don't go, I haven't finished yet." Chu Yuanlin tried his best to keep them, but they ran away very quickly and were gone in the blink of an eye.

Over in Changxing Village, Chu Sangning did not lie to her father. She really lived a good life in the Jiang family. Aunt Lin cooked eggs for her every now and then, fearing that she would not eat well.

Today is the same, it is time to share egg custard with Jiang Panan. A bowl of egg custard with two drops of sesame oil and paired with steamed buns is delicious.

After dinner, she went to work as usual. Lin Xiuzhi estimated that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon. While everyone else was going to work, she asked her old man, "When do you think our Brother Yan will be back?"

Father Jiang was slightly surprised and looked confused: "I don't know, maybe soon."

The old couple knew that this was just an excuse. As for the news about their youngest son, they knew nothing about it. For the first time, Jiang's father doubted that his idea of ​​supporting his son to join the army was wrong.

"Don't look sad in front of the children." Jiang's father warned them and walked slowly to the field with a hoe.

Lin Xiuzhi covered her chest anxiously, but she knew it was useless to worry, so she cheered herself up and followed them.

The more you do a job, the more proficient you will become. What used to take a whole day to do can now be finished in half a day by Chu Sangning. He can finish cutting dozens of kilograms of pig grass in the morning. After the scorer weighs the weight and records the work points, he leaves.

Chu Sangning looked at the group of little radishes behind her. Without them, she would not have been able to work so fast.

"Here, these are the candies for you today, take them quickly." Chu Sangning grabbed a handful of candies from the space and gave two to each person.

Several little boys stuffed them in their mouths happily, while a little girl held it in her hand cherishingly, took two sniffs and put it in her pocket.

Chu Sangning still remembered her, the little girl who was bullied by He Yueyang last time. She squatted down and looked at her with a smile in her voice: "Why don't you eat?"

The girl had her hair tied into two pigtails and shook her head timidly.

A boy next to him yelled, showing off in front of Chu Sangning, "The little girl can't speak. My mother said she is a fool."

After hearing this, the girl lowered her head even more, and curled up in her own protective shell like a little quail.

"You're not a fool. You're just a little slow in reacting, just like you guys, right?" Chu Sangning took the little girl's dirty little hand and secretly stuffed another candy into her palm without anyone noticing.

Xiao Ya looked up at her in confusion. Chu Sangning blinked at her and whispered, "This is our little secret."

During the past few months in Changxing Village, Chu Sangning has gradually become a popular person among the children. The children and adults are willing to play with her.

After all, Chu Sangning was the prettiest and most generous of the educated youth, and the children would always bring back some food.

The day's work was done in the morning, and in the afternoon Chu Sangning agreed with them to go to the foot of the mountain to roast sweet potatoes. Although every household was not well off now, there were enough sweet potatoes.

Even things that people don't like to eat can cause heartburn and indigestion if eaten too much.

At lunch time, Chu Sangning and Jiang Pan'an left some space in their stomachs to eat roasted sweet potatoes, but they didn't expect Lin Xiuzhi to misunderstand them and stood up to put vegetables into their bowls.

"Eat, eat quickly."

"Auntie, I'm taking Pan An on a picnic this afternoon, so I'll save some space for you."

"Picnic?"

"Well, take him to roast some sweet potatoes. The weather is cold now." After Chu Sangning said this, Lin Xiuzhi became even more excited and found five or six big and plump sweet potatoes for Chu Sangning from the kitchen.

After making an appointment with the children in the afternoon, Chu Sangning arrived with Jiang Panan, and the other children also arrived. Everyone took a few things, not only sweet potatoes, but also potatoes, tomatoes and so on.

"Sister Chu, these are the tomatoes I brought, please eat them." A little boy shyly put the tomatoes in Chu Sangning's hand.

"Okay, we'll eat together later." The sweet potatoes were too boring. Chu Sangning didn't know what he was thinking about, so he asked, "Pan'an, how deep is that river?"

"Sister, do you want to catch fish? There are no fish." Jiang Panan, the smart guy, immediately understood what she meant.

Chu Sangning thought to himself: Even if there are no fish, I can conjure up fish for him. I can't take out other things in my space, so it should be okay to release a few fish.

Otherwise, if you don’t eat meat for a few weeks, you won’t get enough nutrition.

She could even turn on the stove. These children were really as thin as hemp. Chu Sangning had been playing with them for several months and had already developed feelings for them.

By the river, Chu Sangning reached out and touched the water. When no one else was paying attention, he released two black fish and a bunch of wheat fish.
