Chapter 42: Chronicles
Qiu Ning got up before dawn on the second day, and after a month, Qiu Ning had already gotten used to his current work, although he was very tired, but he felt very fulfilled. It doesn't seem so painful to do it from scratch, and my age is also starting from scratch. God is very fair, as long as you are willing to work hard and take every step well, God will definitely let you get the reward you deserve.
By the time Qiu Ning walked all the way to the vicinity of Lao Xiucai's house, the sky was already slightly bright, and the busy farming season had passed, and now all the people in the village could rest in peace. Therefore, there are not many villagers coming and going on the entire village road, which is simple and straightforward compared to the previous Nongshim. There are not many mulberries left on the big mulberry trees in the village, which may have been picked and eaten by the children, or it may be almost out of season. Qiu Ning tried to breathe in the morning morning dew, very fresh and comfortable, which is rarely experienced by modern people who are busy and spend the night.
Qiu Ning entered Lao Xiucai's mansion from the back door with a bag of dim sum, and after slowly getting familiar with the backyard of Lao Xiucai's house, Qiu Ning liked to go through the back door. The back door is closer to the kitchen, and workers who come back from the field usually don't go into the front yard, but go straight through the back door and walk a few steps to the kitchen dedicated to the workers. Qiu Ning now knew that there were two kitchens in the house, one was in the second door, which was used by the masters and young ladies to eat, and the other was the kitchen managed by Granny Ma at the back door, which was mainly for the subordinates in the house and the long-term workers to eat.
When Qiu Ning entered the kitchen, Granny Ma was lighting a fire? Breakfast is made early in the morning, and breakfast is usually rice porridge with steamed buns, and then two pots of side dishes. In fact, the meals eaten by the long-term workers are not too tiring, but there is no oil and water. Granny Wang saw Qiu Ning raise her head and smiled: "Was it fun to go into the city yesterday?" Is the price of Wang Dali's millet good? ”
Qiu Ning stepped forward with a smile and handed the dim sum to Granny Wang, "The price is okay, the city is very lively, I just saw the stall where I bought dim sum, so I brought you a bag of dim sum, you can try it!" ”
Granny Ma looked at Qiu Ning with a smile on her face, and did not hesitate to take the snack, and then got up and put it in a small machine in the kitchen. Tyunin changed into a thick apron and sat down in front of the stove to add firewood. "Even if you have a heart, you know that my old woman loves to eat snacks, and when this person is old, she loves to eat these sweet and soft things."
Qiu Ning smiled, "Really? In a few days, I'll make some snacks and bring them over for you to taste. Yesterday you were busy working alone, you must be tired! I'm going to do more today, and you can rest first. ”
Granny Ma smiled with satisfaction, even if this girl is clever, she knows how to please herself, and she also knows that she feels sorry for her hard work alone. "You know how to make dim sum, which is rare. But if you do, you have to bring some to my wife, I love to eat snacks. ”
Qiu Ning smiled and nodded, "Granny Ma, don't worry, as long as I do it, I will definitely bring you one." ”
Granny Ma has been with Qiu Ning for more than a month, and she knows more or less about this girl's temperament, and it is needless to say that she is diligent. He is also very clever, very polite, never lazy, and is a good boy no matter how he looks at it. It's a pity that this child is very pitiful, fatherless and motherless, such a girl will not be allowed to be close in the future, and no one will help her decide if she is bullied, it's a pity! "Qiuning, what did your family do before, are your parents gone?"
Qiu Ning's face froze, and it was reasonable for people to inquire about their family affairs. "Mother-in-law, my family was originally a family of scholars, but unfortunately because my father was seriously ill and my mother was worried, the family lost its economic origin. Because I had to treat my parents, I sold everything that could be sold here, but in the end, my parents left me. I sold my house, took the money to bury my parents, and then began to beg for a living. But fortunately, now I have met good people like Sister Wang and Granny Ma, who are willing to help me regardless of my background. After saying that, Qiu Ning smiled slightly, Qiu Ning felt that he had made up stories that were really bloody. But in order to satisfy Granny Ma's curiosity, and the question of her life experience, more people will ask in the future, so it is better to think of a good statement now. One can deal with Ma Po Po, and the other is natural hypnosis, and he is an authentic ancient.
Sure enough, Granny Ma's eyes turned red after hearing this, and then look at Qiu Ning's kiss! "Poor boy, you are not easy! This world is indeed not easy, if it weren't for the serious illness of your parents, you should now be like a young lady in the city, living a leisurely life every day, only need to embroider and go on a blind date, where do you need to do these rough jobs. Look at your little hands, they're all thicker and darker now. Good boy, it's not easy! ”
Granny Ma's sigh made Qiu Ning not know what to say, but according to her feelings, when others sympathize with her, she should pretend to be strong, and she didn't care, but her eyes were clearly full of pain. So Qiu Ning had to act, with a look of persistence and pain: "Mother-in-law, don't say it, I'm fine now, I support myself with my own hands, there's nothing bad about it." ”
Granny Ma looked at the sensible Qiu Ning and sighed sincerely, this poor man's child has already been in charge! No wonder the old man said that this Qiuning girl is not simple, let yourself take good care of Qiuning. It turns out that this Qiuning girl is also a young lady from a scholar's family, no wonder she is literate, knows how to count etiquette, and has a good temperament. Sure enough, it came from a scholar's family, but it's different! "Qiuning, you wait!"
Qiu Ning didn't know what Granny Wang wanted to rush, and with a curious face, she saw Granny Wang carefully walk to the small cabinet in the corner, and then take the key to open the cabinet. Then he took out an oily paper bag, and then opened it carefully, and Qiu Ning saw that there were actually two buns in the paper bag. looked at Granny Ma, and Granny Ma smiled knowingly: "Eat, is it still hot?" Here are the two buns I got, they are full of meat, don't mention how fragrant they are in your mouth? Good boy, eat quickly, look at your skinny, a gust of wind blows and all falls, you look like a bitter child! ”
Qiu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and he became a liar who deceived the old man for a long time. In this way, Qiu Ning is very shameful to win the sympathy of others in exchange for benefits. But can Tyunin tell the truth? Qiu Ning could only laugh dryly, "Mother-in-law, don't need it, you can eat, it doesn't matter if I'm thinner, it's good to be healthy." You are old, and it is only right to eat meat buns to make up for it. ”
Granny Ma refused, forced the bun into Qiu Ning's arms, and then whispered mysteriously: "This bun was given to her mother-in-law by Miss San, and Miss San wanted to sneak out through the back door to play, so she gave me the bun to eat, and wanted me to help her keep it secret." This kind of thing happens every day, and my mother-in-law can eat big meat buns from time to time, so you can eat these two first! ”
Qiu Ning was really embarrassed to eat, but the old man's kindness couldn't be disappointed, Qiu Ning took a bun, "Mother-in-law, I'll eat one, you eat one, let's eat it together?" ”
Seeing that Qiu Ning was so sensible, Granny Ma liked it even more, "Good boy, mother-in-law will eat with you." ”
