Chapter 207 206. Ginger is going to have two fathers?
But with Jiang's personality...it's unlikely that he'll be able to succeed with this girl.
Lei Li laughed muffledly.
This little guy is completely focused on his brother Xiaobao. He even goes to school because he wants to be with his brother Xiaobao, so he goes to school happily every day.
He didn't feel bored when doing math and memorizing homework every day. After finishing and memorizing everything, he got praise from his brother Xiaobao, and the little guy smiled proudly.
And what about the children in the village?
Their families hope that their children will study hard and become successful, so they give them earnest advice. These children have never been to school before, and they are curious about the books that only rich families can read.
When they really go to school, I find it boring and tedious and I'm overwhelmed.
There are so many children who sneak out to play after school starts and are then chased and scolded by their families to go back to school. There are really not even a hundred of them in a class.
The village school has four months of winter and summer vacations, and two days of monthly vacation at the end of each month, but there are no weekends off on weekdays.
Therefore, when they have a rare holiday or finish school early, the children cheer and jump for joy; but when they hear about homework assignments, especially the thick homework during winter and summer vacations, they become as depressed as eggplants hit by frost.
certainly.
There are also children who love reading.
Especially boys and girls, most of them cherish the opportunity to study in the village school.
Because in the past, only their male brothers could go to school, and after graduating from the village school, they could ask their families to pay for them to attend private schools and take the imperial examinations.
However, they were very satisfied as long as they could read and find a job under the Lei family to support themselves.
These boys and girls are very grateful to the Lei family, especially Lei Li. Some even regard Lei Li as their role model.
She hopes that she can become independent and make a lot of money in the future, then find a man she likes to marry into her family, let her children take her surname, and move her spirit tablet into the ancestral hall a hundred years later.
When I think of this, I feel full of energy.
Lei Li knew that he was very popular among the boys and girls in the village, but he didn't know that they would think so much. At this time, he and the woman were going to find Xiao Shengjiang.
Little Jiang was playing blindfolded tag with his friends under a big tree at the entrance of the village. He was the one blindfolded, while his friends hid within a designated area, using all sorts of tricks to avoid being caught.
This also includes young girls from women's families.
She was nimble and small, and could run very fast. She would often run away just as the little ginger boy approached her, as slippery as a loach.
Because Xiao Shengjiang likes people who are good at playing games, she also praised her for running fast and said that if she signs up for running in the school sports meeting next year, she will definitely win first place.
The little girl didn't know what a sports meet was, nor did she know what "signing up for a run" meant, but the young master asked her to go, so she went.
The woman felt happy to see her daughter getting along well with the young master, but she was also a little worried. She wondered if letting her daughter become a child bride for the young master would harm her, and she was also worried that the young master would look down on her daughter.
"Golden lock."
The woman waved her hand, and the little girl smiled and ran over as lightly and quickly as a young swallow flying into the forest. She called out softly "Mom" and then "Uncle Li".
The little girl's name is Jinsuo.
A longevity and peace lock made of gold.
It was her parents who hoped that she would be safe, well-fed and well-clothed, and live a long life.
"Ginger, come here."
Lei Li also called out to Xiao Shengjiang.
Little Jiang took off the black cloth covering his eyes, and when he saw his father, his eyes curved up. He threw himself into his arms and called him coquettishly, "Daddy, why are you here? Did you prepare dinner?"
The little guy thought that he was playing too much and it was past dinner time, so his father came to call him home for dinner.
"Dad isn't done yet."
Lei Li smiled and wiped the sweat off Sheng Jiang's head with a handkerchief. The little guy was sweating and panting from playing, and his face was flushed.
"Daddy came here for something. I want to ask Sheng Jiang's opinion. It's related to Xiao Jinsuo."
As he spoke, he held Little Ginger's hand and walked away from the big tree at the entrance of the village so that other children would not hear him. He was afraid that if the news got out, some children would make a fuss and it would bring bad reputation to the two children, especially the little girl.
The woman followed closely behind with the little girl Jinsuo. Upon hearing this, she looked at the little ginger nervously, but did not dare to speak first.
"What's going on?"
Little Sheng Jiang raised his little face curiously, thought for a moment and said, "Is Sister Jinsuo going to school with Sheng Jiang next year? Sister Jinsuo is just starting school and will be in the first grade. If you have any questions, you can ask Sheng Jiang."
He looked at Jinsuo, his eyes smiling, reserved yet a little cocky, and said happily, "Ginger will be in the third grade next year! That's amazing!"
"Sister Jinsuo, if you have any problems, you can come to Sheng Jiang. If Sheng Jiang doesn't know the answer, you can also ask Brother Xiao Bao."
Speaking of Brother Xiaobao, Little Ginger's eyes lit up even brighter, and he puffed out his little chest and chattered, wishing everyone knew how good Brother Xiaobao was.
"Brother Xiaobao is in fifth grade. He's amazing! He's never failed a test! His handwriting is also very beautiful. The teacher has praised him many times!"
"I see."
Jinsuo smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Young Master Jiang."
"You're welcome!"
Little Ginger waved his hands, as if it was just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. Like a little adult, he couldn't help laughing and felt very proud. He felt that he was very capable and had helped another person.
When Jinsuo's mother heard that the young master wanted to send her daughter to school and that Master Lei had no objection, she was so excited that she almost cried.
——I never thought that her daughter Jinsuo would be able to go to school one day! If Jinsuo's father could see this, he would be so happy!
At the same time, she felt relieved and more confident that the young master would agree to the child bride.
“Ginger is amazing.”
Lei Li smiled and patted little Sheng Jiang's head. He squatted down to look him in the eye and said, "But Daddy wants to tell Sheng Jiang something else. Daddy wants to know, does Sheng Jiang like Sister Jinsuo?"
“I like it!”
Little Jiang nodded without hesitation, "Sister Jinsuo runs so fast, no one can catch her when we play tag! I wish I could run as fast as her."
He can run very fast, so he can go play with his brother Xiaobao earlier during every break.
Dad said he caught rabbits in the mountains and two big wild boars.
Little Ginger admired his father very much and wanted to be as good as him. But the pig was so big that Ginger thought he was too small and would not be able to catch it. But the rabbit was small and maybe he could catch it.
The last time he was picking wild vegetables, he met a big rabbit, but it ran away.
If he ran fast, he should be able to catch the rabbit and catch it. The friends in the village would look at him with admiration, and Xiaobao brother and father would also praise him for his ability.
Little Ginger felt happy just thinking about it.
Zhizi is more like his father.
Lei Li saw at a glance what good things were going on in Little Ginger's little head. He couldn't help laughing and touched the little guy's head again before saying,
"Since Xiao Sheng Jiang likes Sister Jinsuo, why don't you let Sister Jinsuo be Sheng Jiang's child bride?"
"Child...adopted bride?"
The little ginger blinked, "What is this?"
"It's almost like a child marriage."
Lei Li said with a smile, "Jinsuo and Shengjiang are still young, so let's settle it first. Let Sister Jinsuo stay with us and get married when you two grow up. What do you think, Shengjiang?"
"Huh?"
Little Jiang blinked again and said doubtfully, "But when Jiang grows up, she should marry Brother Xiaobao. How can she marry Sister Jinsuo?"
When Jinsuo's mother heard this, her heart tightened and she felt a little regretful and her face turned red.
She didn't know that Young Master Jiang already had a "Xiaobao". If she had known, she would not have dared to ask for it and would have dreamed of making Jinsuo a child bride.
They both have childhood sweethearts, and they are both well-connected. In terms of affection and status, how can her Jinsuo compare to them?
But then Master Jiang asked,
"Can one person marry two people?"
Her heart was lifted again.
Could it be that... Young Master Jiang also likes Jinsuo and wants to have both?
She had worked in a wealthy family and knew that some young masters had several beautiful maids and boys around them since childhood, and some of them were used as concubines when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.
If a concubine does well, she can be promoted to a concubine. The mistress will also look up to the concubine because of the relationship she and her husband have had since childhood.
“Actually, yes.”
Lei Li said, "Some people are fickle, liking one person and then another, so they end up marrying multiple people. You can't say whether they're right or wrong, because many people do it, and the law allows it."
"ah……"
Little Ginger opened his mouth wide.
He knew what marriage meant. It meant living together like his father and his father, spending every day together, with his father earning money and his father cooking. And having cute little babies, like little Jiang.
But he didn't know that he could marry multiple people. The uncles, aunts, grandparents, and grandparents in the village only married one person, and his father also only married his father...
Little Jiang was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "Daddy will marry someone else too? Does Jiang need two dads?"
Lei Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and said, trying not to laugh, "You can't let your father hear this, or he'll be jealous and sad."
His tone became serious, "Daddy will not marry anyone other than A'da, and A'da will not marry anyone else. Because Daddy and A'da are the best in the world, and A'da is the second best."
"Ginger is the second best, right?"
"Yes, Daddy knew Daddy first. He is much older than Ginger."
Lei Li laughed again, "So think about it, Jiang. If Xiaobao likes other friends and always plays with them instead of Jiang, then Jiang is no longer Xiaobao's number one friend."
"Will Ginger be very sad then?"
"yes."
Little Ginger nodded. "Ginger will be very sad. Ginger doesn't want Brother Xiaobao to only play with others and not with Ginger. Ginger won't only play with others and make Brother Xiaobao sad."
As he spoke, the little fellow raised his little face and said crisply, "Ginger and Brother Xiaobao are always the best! Brother Xiaobao and Ginger are also the best!"
