Chapter 514: Promise
Peng Jin saw that Xu An and Lan'er were full of warmth and love even when they were bickering, so she smiled reassuringly, thinking that Xiaomei, a down-and-out daughter, married to Xu An, a farmer, would have a run-in between the couple in the future. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now it seems that the two of them are adapting well and are happy and harmonious.
When the group arrived at the grange, the peasants in the village all came to greet Liu Shi and Peng Jin.
Seeing that the original bookkeeper Mr. Zhang Minghua has now made a general judgment, everyone is very happy and warmly came up to congratulate him.
When they saw the blond Mr. Josephine's family, everyone was amazed, but they all did not stare at them in a proper manner.
Peng Jin nodded secretly, it seems that Xu An, the head of the village, has done a good job, and it is in vain that she spent a lot of money to build a school and invite a master, and the people in the grange are obviously more knowledgeable and obedient than before.
After the group was settled, the abundant hot water was carried to the various rooms.
After everyone freshened up and bathed, and changed into clean and clean clothes, lunch was almost ready.
Local chicken, local duck, local pork, fresh mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, fresh vegetables, all local dishes with farmhouse characteristics, green and nutritious, delicious.
After lunch, Mr. Josephine's family, who were extremely curious about the North Grange, accompanied by Liu Shi's family, toured the Grange in general and praised everywhere they went.
"It's not bad at all than the big manor in our hometown!" Mr. Josephine sighed.
When they heard that there was more than one grange under Peng Jin's name, Josephine and his wife were even more surprised.
They knew that Liu Shi and Peng Jin were rich, but they didn't expect them to be so rich.
"It's great to have a manor like this in our hometown!" Mrs. Josephine exclaimed, "I didn't expect that there is more than this place under Madame's name!" ”
"I have a lot of resources, and my little assets are not enough to see in the capital." Peng Jin smiled indifferently, those big families, which one of them can't just take out a few granges.
The Josephines were even more amazed when they heard this.
"That one! That one! ”
"Left! Left! ”
Hearing the cheers of the children, everyone passed by the voice, and saw Nuan Nuan and John not knowing when they had climbed to the persimmon tree not far away, and wanted to pick the remaining persimmons.
frightened Peng Jin to jump, hurriedly ran over, and hurriedly said to the two children: "Danger, come down quickly!" ”
Most of the persimmon trees in the Grange are decades old, extremely tall, and more importantly, there are many thorny branches on them, which are dense and can be scraped if you are not careful.
Nuan Nuan pursed her small mouth in disappointment, and seeing that Peng Jin insisted on it, she had no need to discuss, so she had to slide down from the tree, her movements were dexterous and neat, like a nimble little monkey.
Seeing this, John also obediently slipped down.
On the side, Liu Shi explained to Josephine and his wife the reason why Peng Jin did not let the children climb the persimmon tree, so as not to misunderstand that Peng Jin was preventing John from exploring a new world.
Josephine and his wife let go of their children, and even Liu Zhi, who has always thought that he does not spoil children, is ashamed of himself.
And Peng Jin saw that Nuan Nuan and John's little faces were full of disappointment, so he slowed down his tone and said softly: "It's good to be brave in doing things, but you can't be ignorant of the situation, blindly reckless and brave, and pay attention to methods." For example, if you want to pick persimmons, you can use bamboo poles! ”
"But I want to climb up the tree and pick it!" Nuan Nuan muttered quietly.
John glanced at Nuan Nuan with a worried face, for fear that she would anger Peng Jin and attract blame, so he bravely straightened his small chest and took all the responsibility: "Madam, I begged Nuan Nuan to take me on an adventure!" ”
When Peng Jin saw John like this, he was happy in his heart, he knew that the hero saved the beauty at such a young age, and he was responsible!
"It's good to venture out and explore new things." Peng Jin smiled slightly, did not deny John, changed the conversation, and persuaded again, "But there must be a way to take risks, right?" For example, your father, did he dare to go straight forward without a course and without a clear understanding of the situation? ”
John opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word of rebuttal.
Peng Jin saw that the two children lowered their heads, knowing that what they had done wrong, so she didn't say more, so as not to dampen their enthusiasm for exploring the new world.
"When we leave tomorrow, we will wrap persimmons and take them away, and give you something to satisfy your cravings. If you really want to climb the tree and pick your own fruit, wait until autumn when the fruit is ripe. Peng Jin pointed to the empty fruit trees all over the mountains and said with a smile, "There is no good fruit left for you to pick now." ”
Hearing Peng Jin's promise, Nuan Nuan became happy again, blinked her bright big eyes, stretched out the little thumb of her right hand, and asked Peng Jin to pull the hook: "Mother, you can't go back on what you say!" ”
Peng Jin couldn't help laughing, and happily stretched out his right hand, cocked his little thumb, and hooked Nuan Nuan.
John on the side was very melancholy, next autumn, can he still stay in the capital and climb trees and pick fruits with Nuan Nuan......
Because of this melancholy, John always seemed a little depressed in the following time.
The anomaly soon caught the attention of Lady Josephine.
During the evening break, Mrs. Josephine stayed a little longer, and when Kate and Elizabeth could no longer hold back their sleepiness and went back to the house to sleep, she called out to John, who was about to turn away after saying "good night", and asked softly, "John, do you have anything on your mind?" Can you tell me about it? ”
John paused, opened his mouth to speak, and wondered if such words would seem too hypocritical, without a bit of manly demeanor.
Moving his lips, John finally said nothing.
Mrs. Josephine looked at her son, who was obviously on her mind but was silent, and sighed lowly.
Their family came from a distant hometown and settled in Quanzhou for many years, and the children were more or less influenced by the humanities of Daqi, and the personalities of her and her husband became more and more different.
Especially John, except for his appearance, the whole person is more like a boy in Daqi.
Well, not really, at least brave and independent, strong and optimistic, straightforward and free-spirited, these qualities John has never lost, but he is much better than some weak and melancholy boys in Daqi!
"Manly man, what can't you say!" Mrs. Josephine agitated John.
Knowing the son Mo Ruomu!
John was really fooled, and when he heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to defend himself: "Of course there is nothing that cannot be said! I'm just worried that I won't be able to climb trees and pick fruits with Nuan Nuan next year! ”
After saying that, John felt that the big stone in his heart seemed to be moved away at once, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and he stepped forward and lay on Mrs. Josephine's lap, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, will we live in the capital for a long time?" ”
