Chapter 1033: Famine, Natural Disasters 190
"You bought skates?!"
The water scoop was thrown, clapping his hands and trotting.
Mingyi turned around and took a package from Mama Zhao's hand and opened it for him to see, "Look, I bought the size that the two of us can wear with our feet." ”
"It's really skates." Cheng Mingli stretched out his hand and touched it, "These skates aren't cheap, right?" ”
"The money that Chaosheng paid."
Cheng Mingli touched a tael of silver on his body, which he had saved, and took it out for her, "The silver is returned to the prince of Zhou, you can't let people pay for everything." ”
"It's okay, I also gave Chaosheng good things, and he bought me so many things as a gift, so I can keep it with peace of mind." Mingyi pushed it back.
However, the silver was looked at by Cheng Dazhu and Cheng Yuanxi.
Cheng Yuanxi can be regarded as not seeing, but Cheng Dazhu will not, "Mingli, where did you get the silver?" ”
“.” Cheng Mingli smiled and picked up the silver.
Seeing this, Cheng Mingyi said: "That's the silver that my brother and I found one after another on the road, and I have it here." ”
Cheng Dazhu: The two youngest ones are calm.
"Don't put too much silver on your child's house."
"Yes, grandfather." Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingli said in unison.
Cheng Yuanxi chuckled, a pair of children looked well-behaved, but in fact, they agreed quickly, and they will still do this next time.
"Dad, both of them have the right ideas, you don't have to worry about them; You take the pastries to the eldest brother and the second brother to divide them, and I will talk to Mingyi. ”
"Okay, then you say." Cheng Dazhu took the two large oil paper bags and turned to leave.
Grandfather left, Cheng Mingli breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, grandfather didn't continue to ask." ”
"You brothers and sisters will hide their private money until they die." Cheng Yuanxi pointed at the two of them, looking like you can really do it, "Lao Tzu doesn't have you to hide." ”
Cheng Mingyi shrugged, "What kind of private money do men want, you have a mother to eat, drink, and live." ”
"Heh~ The little girl knows a lot!" Cheng Yuanxi laughed angrily.
"My mother said that a man should not carry too much money on him, unless he has to give it; Just like when we run away from the famine, we have to buy food, and when we want to buy things, we will give you a large sum of silver. ”
Cheng Mingli nodded, "My mother said it, and she also told me that the money in the future will either be kept by my mother, or I will marry a wife and keep it for my wife." ”
Her outspokenness, and her son's help echoed her, made Cheng Yuanxi angry and out of temper.
"You two will go to your mother." Cheng Yuanxi didn't have the anger to shake his hand and leave, not angry, but helpless; If he says he can't win, everything is like this, what can he do? Stay and fight with your children?
Mingyi chuckled, "Dad is angry." ”
“.” Then you're still laughing.
Cheng Mingli shook his head and looked down at his skates, "Yiyi, we can't skate, we have to find someone to teach us." ”
"Someone has to bring it." Mingyi pondered and meditated, after they came here to settle down, they only had a little bit of movement with the people in Yuzhuang, they were busy with infrastructure construction and settled down, and their connections were not opened; It's unrealistic to suddenly ask someone to take them to play.
"Master, if you and the little boy can trust the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids can teach you and the little boy." Mama Zhao spoke respectfully.
Mingyi looked up at them, her eyes lit up, "That's right, Mama Zhao, Mama Rong, you should be able to skate after living in the northwest for many years." ”
"Indeed, I learned from the princess when I was young, and I haven't played for many years." Mama Rong's eyebrows were light, but her eyes were solemn, "If the master doesn't dislike it, the slave maid and Sister Zhao can teach it." ”
"That's great, thank you Mama Zhao, thank you Mama Rong, let's go."
Mingyi pulled her brother and ran out, and Mama Zhao and Mama Rong chased after her.
"Master, slow down, the road outside is slippery, be careful."
Mingyi doesn't care so much, the weather is good now; When it really snows, don't think about leaving that road, and you have to be afraid to go out to play.
In today's society, there are no soles that grip the ground, and it is easy to slip on the ice; The road surface frozen by snow can also become slippery, and people will not be able to stand on it.
When he arrived at the river, Mingyi looked at the thick layer of ice, took off his shoes and put them on a rock, and changed into skates.
The same is true for Cheng Mingli.
Mama Zhao frowned when she saw it, how can everyone take off their shoes outside.
"Master, slow down, the slaves and maids will help you learn how to slide first."
Walking on ice skates is difficult, but gliding is easy.
"Good!"
Mingyi followed them to learn with great interest, she has a good memory and strong comprehension ability, but she learned it in half an hour; It doesn't make a trick on the ice, but it's very smooth.
After Cheng Mingli, his learning progress was a little slower, and Mama Zhao and Mama Rong taught for a long time before they barely taught.
After Cheng Mingli mastered the essentials, Mingyi was already sweating profusely.
"Brother, come quickly."
Slipped to his side and grabbed his hand; On the premise of making sure he doesn't fall, take him out of the way.
Cheng Mingli was shocked into a cold sweat, but he was under the leadership of his sister; Watching his sister combine light skills with skating, he did the same, and quickly mastered the essence and balance of fast skating.
The two of them were addicted to playing, and the river was full of their laughter.
Mama Zhao and Mama Rong stared at them without daring to make a mistake, for fear that Mingyi would fall in the fast slip again and again; In their nervousness and worry, Mingyi had already imitated the movements of figure skating.
At first, I was not proficient, and I didn't even remember some of them, so I could only grope little by little.
As soon as she found a little clue, a Sang Liang's voice came, and she had to stop playing.
"Yiyi, you're back, it's time to feed!"
Following the sound, I saw that it was Chen Daya and Cheng Yuanxi who came over.
Mingyi looked at her brother regretfully.
Cheng Mingli smiled at her, came to her side, and took her back to the shore with her.
"You two are gone in a blink of an eye." Cheng Yuanxi looked at them with a sneer, "I don't know how to tell my father and mother when I come out, but fortunately, your cousin and they saw you come out." ”
Mingyi wondered, "My cousin saw us, why didn't he come." ”
"Don't do anything at home? Don't care about the piece of land behind you? The weather is a little better, don't you have to find a way to get some firewood back? ”
Gotta get it.
If I had known, I wouldn't have asked.
Mingyi covered her ears, "Dad, don't talk about it, let's go back." ”
"I still dislike you, you're used to it." Cheng Yuanxi sighed lightly and looked at his wife next to him, "Let's go back first, it's really cold outside, and they're addicted to playing, so they won't go home." ”
"What's the matter, the freshness of skiing for the first time hasn't passed yet." Mingyi snorted twice.
Zhao and Rong took care of Mingyi and changed into warm wool shoes, and after Cheng Mingli changed them, they put on their skates and walked home together.
When I got home, the whole family was in the hall where I entered the courtyard.
