Chapter 175: Talking to the Dead
Du Jinning couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
She tore Du Yunchang's hand away and said apologetically: "I gave this book directly to the teahouse after I finished writing it, and I didn't have it on hand." ”
"How can you see that? You also know that Peach Blossom Village is far away, and the fourth uncle doesn't have time to run around the city, so he really doesn't have time to listen to books every day. Du Yunchang said disappointedly.
Du Jinning touched his chin, thoughtfully, and said, "Not yet." Fourth uncle, you also know that my words were included in the shares of the teahouse, which is the teahouse, and it belongs to everyone's common property, so it is not easy to take it out casually. ”
As soon as Du Yinsheng heard this, he immediately taught Du Yunchang a lesson: "Don't embarrass Brother Ning." You're such a big person, and you're as ignorant as a child. ”
"Alas, Dad, you don't know how well Ning Ge'er's book is written, if you listen to it, you will also be addicted." Du Yunchang shouted aggrieved.
However, he was not really ignorant, and turned to Du Jinning and said: "Fourth Uncle is just saying that, I don't really want to read the script, Brother Ning, don't take it to heart." As he spoke, he diverted the topic and asked about Du Jinning's plans after the New Year.
The reason why Du Jinning came over in the afternoon was because he had delayed the New Year's greetings for Guan Le and them, and secondly, he was unwilling to stay here longer. If she came in the morning and Du Yinsheng and Du Chensheng stayed for dinner, she would not be able to get out of the trust. Come in the afternoon, and it's dark early in winter, so you can find an excuse to go back early.
After talking for a while, she said, "In addition to going to my grandfather's place today, I also want to go to Uncle Lizheng's." After all, Uncle Zhang also helped me a lot. ”
"It should be, it should be." Du Yinsheng saw that Du Jinning was interested in leaving, although he was reluctant to stay, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll accompany you." ”
Du Jinning came out of the study and said a few words to Montessori and the others, and then followed Du Yinsheng to the second room with a gift.
The people in the second room were all sitting in the hall. Seeing the two of them come in, Du Chensheng stood up and saluted Du Yinsheng, "Big brother." ”
Du Yinsheng made a straight face, snorted in his nose, and said, "I came here with Brother Ning, you don't have to worry about me." With that, he found a random chair and sat down.
Seeing this, Du Chensheng didn't say soft words to his eldest brother in front of Du Jinning, so he didn't say anything more.
He glanced at Du Jinning, walked to the chair with a sinking face and sat down, closed his mouth and did not speak.
The atmosphere in the room was a little more subtle.
Seeing this, Zhang's brows furrowed.
Her father-in-law seems to be shrewd, but in fact he is the most confused. The stupidest thing I did in my life was to raise Du Jinning, but I didn't treat him well, and I got to the point where I am worse than a stranger. And now, he can't give up his old face, and he still has to put up a stand in front of Du Jinning, so that Du Jinning can only take care of others before he salutes first, but she really doesn't know what to say.
The reason why Du Jinning came here was that he couldn't hinder human affection and filial piety, but he just came to go through the motions. What the attitude of Du Chensheng and the others was, she didn't care at all.
She gave Du Chensheng a gesture without humility or arrogance, and said: "Jinning has given New Year's greetings to my grandfather and grandmother, and I wish my grandfather and grandmother good health and all the best." Then he presented the gift and placed it on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Du Chensheng bowed his head slightly, his expression eased, and he said softly: "It's good if you can come." Come, sit down. ”
Du Yunyi hurriedly smiled and said, "Come on, Brother Ning is sitting here." ”
In the Du family, Zhang's family, who has never touched the spring water with his fingers, poured a cup of ginger sugar tea with a smile, handed it to Du Jinning, and said, "Come, on a cold day, drink a cup of ginger sugar tea to warm up." ”
"Thank you, uncle, aunt."
Du Yunnian and Yao thought that they had already received Du Chensheng's orders and were not in the house, so as not to evoke Du Jinning's bad memories, that is, they were not even there for Du Jinshou. In addition to Du Chensheng and his wife, there were only five people in the small and big room.
Seeing that there was a big live chicken in the basket where the gift was placed, Niu quickly took the things down, and was about to take them to the kitchen, when he heard Du Chensheng say: "Niu, let the old family go." He also told Zhang, "Go pack some things and bring them back to Brother Ning in a while." ”
Originally, as a grandchild, I came to pay New Year's greetings to my elders, and I didn't have to give a return gift, I only needed to give a red envelope. But now Du Chensheng wants to ease the relationship with Du Jinning in every possible way, so he naturally does not hesitate to return the favor.
He knew very well that his wife was stingy, and if he asked her to prepare gifts, he might not be able to please Du Jinning, but would make Du Jinning hate them even more. So he simply let Zhang go. Zhang's person is shrewd and capable, and he is also generous, so there will be no problems when he prepares a gift in return.
Zhang said yes and went out with the basket.
Niu glanced at Du Chensheng, turned around and sat back on the stool.
"Did you go to school this year? How are gentlemen treating you? Classmates get along well, right? Du Chensheng took out his grandfather's style and cared about Du Jinning's academic affairs.
"The mountain chief was afraid that I would not be able to keep up with the progress of my classmates, so he did not let me enter the class, but followed him to learn some basic things." Du Jinning said.
Du Chensheng choked, his expression was a little unnatural, and he secretly glanced at Du Yinsheng, worried that because of this sentence, Du Yinsheng would not give him a good look.
Du Yinsheng's face really sank like water.
If it weren't for Du Chen's unwillingness to send Brother Ning to school, would he have to make up for the most basic knowledge now? Brother Ning shouldn't have come over to pay New Year's greetings and remember what this dog thing is doing!
Du Yunyi was busy playing the round: "It can be seen that the mountain chief values you." Although I have never been to a college, I know some people whose children are studying in the college. I heard them say that the mountain chief is a jinshi, and he was still a preacher at the beginning, and his knowledge was first-class. If you can get him to teach enlightened students in person, it is estimated that you are still the first one, Brother Ning. ”
Du Jinning nodded: "The mountain chief is indeed as kind to me as a mountain. If it weren't for him, I guess I'd still be a cowherd baby. ”
Du Chensheng and Du Yunyi choked again.
I can't talk anymore.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story listens to these conversations, there is nothing wrong with it. Whatever Du Chensheng asked, Du Jinning answered, not only did he answer without any emotion, but his attitude was also respectful, it was really a good picture of Zuci and Sun Xiao.
But this room full of people has inner ghosts in their hearts, and hearing Du Jinning's words is really straight to the heart, as embarrassing as it is.
Du Yinsheng, who has never been in a good mood, suddenly felt like laughing, and he felt refreshed for a while.
This smart kid is just different, even speaking at such a high level. Not half of the dirty words were revealed, and there was no evil breath, but the room full of people was embarrassed.
Alas, how is this child not his own grandson?
