Chapter 482 You are indeed my fellow countryman. Don’t forget your original intention.
Chapter 482 You are indeed my fellow countryman. Don’t forget your original intention.
Little Yining didn't care about the rules and ran straight to Zheng's house following the sound.
When she finally saw her fellow villager with a wry smile, she smiled sweetly and turned to Zheng, saying in a baby voice, "Grandma, as the saying goes, a day without seeing you feels like three years. I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you!"
Zheng, who was still planning to continue to output, closed his mouth with a look of unsatisfied feeling when he saw the little kid, and pursed his lips in a nonchalant manner: "Hmm."
Afterwards, she returned to the bed with the help of a human-shaped crutch (Pei Yi), sighed wearily, and became sickly again, with her eyes half closed, leaning weakly on the head of the bed.
Little Yining didn't care about being ignored, and greeted another elder in the room: "Hello, uncle, Sister Qing is here to see you!"
Linford nodded dully, then took out a copper coin from his bosom and handed it to the little kid, while reminding him: "Don't disturb your grandmother's rest!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
Xiao Yining carefully put away the "shut up money" and ran to stand next to his fellow villager, his eyes rolling around, trying to see where the wife Wang Gungun mentioned would appear.
At that time, her mother also appeared with the other two little ones. The three of them glanced at Pei Yi at the same time, and then they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time as if they had telepathy.
Then, Wan Niang brought the two children to Zheng and bowed respectfully, "Granddaughter-in-law greets grandmother."
"Greetings, Grandma."
"Greetings, old lady."
When Zheng heard the unusual voice, she opened her eyes with a little surprise, and saw two little kids she had never met standing in front of the bed.
Seeing this, Wan Niang hurriedly introduced the two people, "Grandma, these two are my relatives from my mother's side. The older one is called Li Zhu, and the younger one is called Wang Gun Gun."
Zheng nodded slightly, her wise eyes lingering on the two little ones for a moment, without asking any more questions, she just said: "They are both good children. Since you have relatives' children to take care of, you need to pay more attention to them."
Then, she changed the subject and said, "Since you are back, you should stay by my bed and be filial to Zan Ge'er for an hour every day, so as to avoid being accused by those gossipy women in the village of being ungrateful."
Wan Niang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly lowered her head and said graciously, "Yes, grandmother, I will follow your instructions."
When little Yining heard that her mother was going to take care of the sick, she immediately became anxious and said, "Grandma, when mother is not here, there will be no one to take care of Qing Jie. She will become a mud monkey."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng knew what the little boy was thinking and said unhappily, "It is natural for your mother to be filial. Do you want to ruin your parents' reputation?"
Little Yining's mouth pursed in grievance, and her eyes turned red. She looked at her mother with heartache. She didn't expect that after returning, her mother would still have to consider her reputation and be set some rules.
"I won't waste your time. Just come here for two hours every day." Zheng continued to say to Wan Niang.
Wan Niang lowered her head and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Grandma, the granddaughter-in-law will come over when you have dinner."
"You have made a lot of progress, according to you."
Upon hearing this, Zheng praised her indifferently, then slowly closed her eyes and sighed, "You came back at a really bad time. The family is not stable now. After dinner, take Hu Ge'er away, and I will talk to Lanhua about it. Take down the box on the beam."
The four children couldn't help but frown because of Zheng's words, and exchanged glances with each other, then silently watched Wan Niang take down an old box from the beam.
At this moment, Zheng opened her eyes again and scolded, "Brother Hu is young and ignorant, and you and Brother Zan, as elders, are so unruly. You just sent back one thousand taels of silver like this. How many people will be jealous of you."
"I have kept this a secret, and no one in my family knows about it. You can take it back and save it for Brother Hu. You can also use it to pay for his food and clothing in Beijing. If he grows up and has any leftovers, you can return them to him."
Wan Niang quickly admitted her fault: "It was my husband and I who were at fault, and it was my grandmother who taught me the lesson."
After explaining everything, Zheng waved her hand tiredly, signaling them to leave.
However, at this moment, they could not leave the ancestral home. Although Zheng was sick in bed, her dignity was still there. With just one sentence, she prepared a sumptuous welcoming banquet for Xiao Yining and his party.
Although the atmosphere is not very warm, it is still acceptable.
Little Yining had been criticized since the last time she used a five-cent hairpin, and this time she still couldn't escape the criticism of her cousins.
"The pearl flower on Sister Qing's head is so beautiful. I wonder how much money it cost? Auntie was willing to spend it. She only took a wooden hairpin."
"It should be very expensive! Last time my mother took me to the Treasure Pavilion to see the world, that tiny bead cost half a tael of silver."
"So expensive? But Sister Qing won't be able to bring good things to her for many years. When Auntie gives her a brother, she will definitely give priority to the younger one."
"..."
Xiao Yining listened to these sour words, turned her eyes slowly to the people who were talking, and silently said in her heart: "My mother is not afraid of giving birth to a brother for me. I am the eldest daughter and can still use good things."
Lin - the little group darling - Yining is not afraid at all.
At this time, the men at the table where the fellow villager was sitting also heard a surprised voice, "Mr. Pei...Mr. Pei, you just said you wanted to find a woman?"
Xiao Yining: ...
The kid quickly pricked up his ears. Wang Gungun was right. His fellow villager did have a wife.
The young man nodded and replied, "Yes, my cousin and his wife have agreed to this. I will be adopted by my father and take on the responsibility of having children. As for my wife..."
Pei Yi paused for a moment, glanced at the people who were paying attention to the situation here, and said calmly: "Of course, it is best to choose a woman who has given birth before. After all, those with experience can better shoulder the responsibility of reproducing offspring."
After hearing this criterion for choosing a spouse, Xiao Yining turned around in surprise and looked at his fellow villager in disbelief, and almost fell to the ground because of his violent movements.
Not only her, but everyone who heard this looked at the young man in surprise.
However, Pei Yi did not feel that there was anything wrong with this, and continued to speak shockingly: "If you marry with your child, it would be even better. As long as you change your surname, you will also be a member of my Pei family. My father and brother will recognize you."
Xiao Yining: ...From being a sworn brother taking care of a child to being a daughter-in-law taking care of a child, this is really a huge leap!
Then, an idea suddenly came to the little girl's mind, and she glanced at her mother, only to see that her mother had a relieved expression on her face, and even her eyes when she looked at her fellow villager were full of joy that the prodigal son had returned.
Xiao Yining: @_@
It seems... her father is in danger!!!
