Chapter 612: The Uncle Being Urged to Get Married
What happened at Donggang Wharf reached Xiao Yining's ears the next morning.
She sat in the chair in disbelief, forgetting to swallow the soft and glutinous salty dumplings in her mouth. She asked incoherently with her bulging mouth, "Grandpa Zheng Yuan's family... are all gone?"
Qiu Yi nodded hurriedly: "Princess, the archer appeared again last night and fled to Donggang Wharf. The soldiers chased him and killed many people besides Grandpa Zheng Yuan's family. Baozi brother said that several people were eating noodles in Grandpa Zheng Yuan's restaurant yesterday!"
Xiao Yining was still in shock, unable to believe that her fanatic fan had passed away like this. In the book, he lived a long life. Moreover, her father and uncle had gone to his place to eat noodles yesterday.
She subconsciously looked at the old man chewing the steamed buns, and seeing that there was no ripple on his face, she couldn't help but wonder: "Dad, why aren't you sad? Grandpa Zheng Yuan is gone!"
The old man didn't even raise his head and asked calmly, "Why is Dad sad?"
Xiao Yining: @_@, I forgot, the interaction between dad and Zheng Yuan now seems to be just ordinary fellow villagers helping each other.
But her father managed his facial expressions very well, and he didn't even sigh about the impermanence of life.
The little girl turned her head away in frustration. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to her father again, asking, "Dad, where did you go last night? Qing Jie didn't even see you when she got up!"
Lin Yuzan looked up from the book and saw the oily soup overflowing from the corner of his daughter's mouth. He looked away with disdain, "Qiu Yi, next time don't report to the master while he is eating."
Qiu Yi was startled and quickly responded.
The little kid yelled in dissatisfaction: "Dad..."
Lin Yuzan glanced at her again and said slowly, "Dad and Mom are going to take care of the funeral affairs for the third brother's family. Let your uncle take you to the girls' school today."
As soon as he finished speaking, a resentful gaze fell on his head.
Wan Niang shook her head helplessly, gently wiped the oil stains from the corners of her daughter's mouth, and explained for her husband: "Qing Jie'er, your father was called away by your uncle last night, don't ask!"
"You have to get to the bottom of everything. How can your little brain hold so many things?"
Lin Yuzan complained unhappily, then stood up and urged: "After breakfast, Dad will take you to your uncle's place. He will definitely leave home early today."
Xiao Yining: ?? (?? ￣??￣? )?? ??
The little kid refused righteously: "My uncle won't do that. He hasn't finished his homework yet, and Sister Qing didn't let my uncle send him off early, lest he be punished by the teacher for not finishing his homework."
She glanced at her father, with an expression that showed she knew everything, and continued to shake her head: "Dad must not have finished his homework, so he thought of asking my uncle to send me home so that I can go back to the academy to see my uncle being punished."
Lin Yuzan: (Φ w Φ), this is a very good idea!
The man raised his eyebrows, glared at his daughter without any courtesy, and said angrily, "You are just talking nonsense and not following the right path."
After saying this, he didn't delay any longer and quickly packed up his daughter's food and sent it to Wang Cheng's residence, even ignoring her protests that she was not full.
At this time, Wang Cheng had just gotten up to wash up. When he saw the little kid coming over, a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes. He immediately became playful and teased, "Qingjie, why are you here? Don't your parents want you anymore?"
Little Yining squatted in front of Wang Cheng's bed, blinked her eyes eagerly, and nodded seriously: "Uncle, my parents don't love me anymore? From now on, I will live with you."
Hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but laugh and asked again: "If uncle doesn't love Qingjie anymore, what should Qingjie do?"
"By that time, Sister Qing will have grown up, and Uncle will have married and had children. Sister Qing will join Uncle in caring for her younger siblings, so Uncle won't need to take care of her anymore." Little Yining replied without hesitation.
Wang Cheng: (个_个), why does he say so much!
The man quickly stepped forward and picked up the little girl, trying to correct her bad thoughts, and then he heard his father's heroic laughter.
"Oh, Sister Qing is so sensible." Wang Ersheng walked in with a look of relief on his face.
"Qingjie, did you see your uncle talking to any young lady yesterday? I heard from your grandmother that many young ladies were secretly looking at your uncle when he was in danger at Duke Chen's mansion yesterday."
Little Yining's big eyes curved into crescents and he nodded vigorously.
Yesterday, the heroic scene of her uncle protecting her grandmother was seen by many people. Countless people knew that he had martial arts skills, and he was also handsome and had an elegant appearance, which naturally attracted many women.
When many young ladies said goodbye to their grandmother and left, they couldn't help but blush and said to their uncle in a delicate voice, "Master Wang, we'll see you again if we're lucky."
Although there were many problems at the flower viewing banquet, my uncle's fortune-telling was very successful.
Wang Ersheng came to his eldest son and patted his shoulder happily: "Dad found your mother because of his own ability. Since you don't have the ability to find a wife, you have to go to the banquets in the future and bring back a good daughter-in-law for Dad and Mom as soon as possible."
Wang Cheng was bearing an unbearable burden, feeling extremely helpless, and reminded, "Dad, Qingjie is still young, you will corrupt her by talking like this."
"Oh, really?" Wang Ersheng looked at his lovely little granddaughter.
She waved her hands and replied seriously, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Don't pick up men on the street. They are either sick or in debt. Kidnapped men are even worse. They are too stupid and will cheat you."
Wang Ersheng was startled at first, then he burst into laughter. He patted the kid's head approvingly, "Yes, Sister Qing is really smart."
The little kid responded by showing a row of white baby teeth.
Wang Cheng:......
Then, the man who was determined to be a widower saw the grandfather and grandson discussing his marriage unscrupulously.
Wang Cheng suddenly felt overwhelmed, and hurriedly carried the little kid to the door, saying, "Dad, Qingjie just wanted to eat wontons at the corner. I'll take her to breakfast and then send her to the girls' school."
After saying that, he didn't care about anything else and quickly fled with the baby in his arms, even ignoring the baby's words that he had already had breakfast.
The early morning in Yanjing is also very lively, with hawking sounds coming from the streets and alleys, occasionally mixed with the cries of poultry. It is rare for little Yining to go out so early, and he leans on the car window to watch this prosperous scene with relish.
Wang Cheng did as he said and took the kid to eat the big meat wontons at the corner of the street. He asked the old man who was selling the wontons for a small bowl, carefully divided out three wontons and placed them in front of the kid, still complaining.
"Your uncle really loves you in vain. You actually join grandpa in making fun of your uncle."
Little Yining was very sensible and admitted her mistake. "Uncle, Qingjie was wrong. I shouldn't have said that uncle got married."
Wang Cheng was slightly satisfied and was about to give Xiao Wa another wonton when he heard her say, "My eldest uncle may not like women like my cousin and wants to marry a man."
The man's face froze, and he couldn't put the spoon down or lift it up in the air.
However, the little kid was eagerly waiting for the fourth wonton. Seeing that it was not coming down for a long time, he stood on the bench using his hands and feet, stretched out his head and took a bite.
Wang Cheng was startled and hurriedly carried the baby back to the bench, and carefully wiped the juice on the baby's chest with a silk scarf.
After doing all this, he called out tiredly: "Qing Jie'er, where are your rules?"
Little Yining glanced at the stingy old man, touched his round belly, and said aggrievedly: "My belly said it's hungry!"
Wang Cheng looked at her helplessly, and finally sighed, resignedly picked up the spoon and continued to feed the baby, saying lovingly: "Then Qingjie, eat first, and uncle will eat later."
"That was great, uncle." Little Yining, with his mouth full, praised with satisfaction.
This bowl of wontons costs only three cents, has thin skin and lots of fillings, and tastes great. It is really good value for money.
Wang Cheng nodded in agreement when he heard this, and smiled, saying, "This wonton stall has been passed down for three generations, and it's a kind-hearted man. If anyone has no money to eat, they can buy a bowl on credit here to fill their stomach.
The little kid looked up in surprise at the busy old stall owner. His face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were unusually gentle.
The stall owner seemed to notice the little girl's gaze and rolled out the dough, giving her a kind smile.
Little Yining also quickly returned a sweet smile, continued eating wontons, and asked curiously: "Uncle, how did you know about this?"
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with a melancholy that Xiaowa couldn't guess, "People who do good things will naturally be spread by word of mouth."
The man lowered his eyes, recalling the hard days in his previous life. He fed the baby silently, and unknowingly, he put the whole bowl of wontons into the baby's mouth.
It was only after Xiao Yining’s reminder that he came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.
Wang Cheng: (￣△￣；), I need another bowl.
