Chapter 123: Complete the task
"Ding~ Congratulations on completing the side quest and getting 10 points." The system said cutely.
Ning Meng: "......"
She had forgotten that she had a side quest!
"You're too hungry for this side quest, isn't it?" Ning Meng couldn't help but dislike it.
"Be content. You know, there are many people in this world who can't earn 10 points in their lifetime! The system said arrogantly.
Ning Meng: "......"
She ignored him.
After eating and drinking, she went to the kitchen to clean up.
Her cooking skills are not bad, and after cleaning up, the faint smell of rice wafts in the yard.
It's the taste of a home-cooked meal.
Ning Meng sat on the small bench, holding his cheeks, and looked at the open space in front of the door in a daze.
"Ouch......" she sighed faintly.
If she hadn't crossed it, or rather, when she was healthy before she crossed it. Even if she doesn't have a job, she can make money just by selling paintings, and she will have enough food and clothing to worry about.
And now, she is worthless, and she can't even afford to eat.
Is this retribution?
Ning Meng smiled bitterly. She had heard that fate had never favored anyone.
When Ning Ye came back, he happened to bump into her back.
He was stunned for a moment and shouted at her, "Sister! ”
Ning Meng was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Ning Ye standing outside the fence, with a pair of dark eyes, staring at her curiously.
He was dressed in gray cloth, and his cheeks were tanned, but he couldn't hide his handsome appearance.
"You don't have to cook dinner tonight?" Ning Ye asked.
Ning Meng shook his head and said, "I'm not cooking dinner tonight." ”
Ning Ye frowned.
"Sister, why don't you make dinner? I told my mother to bring you a chicken at noon. ”
"Don't bother. I ate quite well at noon. ”
Ning Ye was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Are you in trouble?" ”
Ning Meng was stunned and looked up at him.
"Sister, are you short of money? If you're short of money, tell me, I have! Ning Ye said seriously.
Ning Meng couldn't cry or laugh, she patted her younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, I'm not short of money." It's just that I want to go out and travel. ”
Ning Ye immediately retorted: "I think you should fill your stomach first." You haven't eaten in a day, you must be hungry. ”
Ning Meng said with a smile: "I ate a lot of breakfast, and I am not hungry." I'll steam the steamed buns and eat them later. ”
She walked to the kitchen with an axe, and Ning Ye chased after her: "I'll chop wood." ”
Ning Meng stopped him and said, "You are still sick, how can you do things." You can just stay in the living room and wait. ”
"Sister, you can let me help. I've been in bed for months, and I'm getting hairy. ”
He snatched the axe, moved a little to the stove, and crouched down to chop wood.
Ning Ye has a lot of strength and a neat hand. After three or two efforts, the front of the stove was full of firewood.
Ning Meng said distressedly: "I just moved here, and I didn't prepare any firewood at all, all of which were borrowed by neighbors. If you cut all the firewood in your neighbor's house like this, they won't be able to spare us. ”
"Then give them back!" Ning Ye said without mind.
Ning Meng's eyes widened: "...... Why are you so stubborn! ”
She suddenly understood why Daddy Ning was angry with this stubborn bear child.
"Well, in that case, I won't advise you." Ning Meng shrugged, "Then you continue to chop wood, I'll go out to buy vegetables." ”
With that, he turned and left.
"Sister...... I'll go with you. ”
"No, I'll be back soon."
“…… Oh well. ”
Ning Yemu sent her sister away, and then muttered in a low voice: "Stupid sister, do you really think I'm here for firewood?" Hum! ”
……
Ning Meng went out to buy groceries and passed by the bookstore.
She was not interested in books, but she remembered that the original owner liked to read and write, so she wanted to choose a few poetry books suitable for girls to learn and give them to her sister.
She walked into the bookstore, flipped through it for a while, and picked out two poetry books and a classical quotation.
The bookstore attendant greeted her warmly: "Please look at this girl, please feel free to look, if you need help, just ask." ”
"Thank you." Ning Meng nodded in acknowledgment.
The decoration style of this bookstore is very simple, with rows of shelves and various books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The bookstore was silent, except for the occasional sound of footsteps.
The silence here reminded Ning of her previous days in an orphanage.
Although Ning Ye is naughty and mischievous, on the whole, she is still very sensible. He rarely gets into trouble, and every time he gets into trouble, the original owner comes forward to solve it.
She stayed in the orphanage for a long time, and gradually made the orphanage her home. Therefore, when she was bullied in the orphanage, she always wanted to seek justice for the dean's mother; Therefore, when she was forced to leave the orphanage, she was most reluctant to be the superintendent's mother.
It's a pity, after so many years, is the dean's mother still alive?
Ning dreamed of the dean's mother's smile, and suddenly her nose was sour. She struggled to squeeze out a smile and hold down her sadness.
"Miss, what book do you need to buy?" The waiter's voice woke up her thoughts.
"Huh?" Ning Meng snapped back to his senses.
"Do you need a recommendation from me?" We have all kinds of books here. The waiter smiled softly.
Ning Meng hurriedly said, "Well, I want to buy some books on agriculture." Well...... Do you have a library here? ”
The waiter nodded, "Yes." I'll call you a tricycle, come with me. ”
"Okay." Ning Meng happily agreed.
Soon, a tricycle pulled up in front of the bookstore. The driver asked, "Do you want to go to the library, or where will you send it?" ”
Ning Meng pointed to a building across the street and said, "Send me to the book store opposite." Thank you. ”
"You're welcome."
The driver took her to the library and personally sent her to the library on the second floor.
Ning Meng found the corresponding position and sat down.
"Miss, what do you need?"
"I'll see." Ning Meng rummaged through it several times, and finally found a copy of "On the Basis of Agriculture", "Is this an industry?" ”
"Absolutely. We have a lot of books here that specialize in agricultural technology at a reasonable price. ”
"Then so be it."
After paying, Ning Meng walked out of the bookstore with a heavy book. She walked around the neighborhood to make sure that no one was peeping around before she dodged into the phoenix bracelet.
Entering the space, Ning Meng was surprised to find that she had turned into a four-year-old baby!
"Hahahaha!" She hugged her ball-rolled body and jumped straight up with joy.
"How's it going, baby? Isn't it amazing? A childish child's voice came to my head.
It's a quiet night!
Ning Ye said triumphantly: "Of course, don't look at who helps!" ”
"Yes, yes, my family has the best night." Ning Meng rubbed his hair dotingly, "You're going to raise me like this!" ”
"What's that, I've got money anyway. If you're lazy, enjoy yourself at home. You only need to be responsible for being beautiful as a flower. ”
