Brother and sister?

Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning glanced at each other.

Do they look alike?

"Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper," Shen Ningning stood up and wiped his fleshy little face with the back of his hand: "We're not picking up rags, but our clothes have just been dirty, so we won't go in to drink tea." ”

The shopkeeper turned his head and looked at the little guy, and wanted to soften his heart even more.

This little person is very cute and beautiful.

However, he has a small fair face, with a black gray dirt on his nose and face.

Obviously wearing better clothes, but he looks gray.

The shopkeeper sighed: "It's pitiful, you guys are waiting here, I'll give you something." ”

He walked back to the shop, and after a while, he came out quickly, holding two large furs made of deerskin.

"This was originally my brother's own use."

"But a while ago, he followed the trend and bought a lot of cold-proof appliances and changed them into bear skins, so he won't need this, so you can take it."

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes wide, looking happy.

She just wanted to reach out and take it.

Xu Jingxi pulled her behind him like an elder brother.

His voice was quiet: "How much silver, please?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and smiled: "Don't want money, I'll give it to you." ”

"The world has just gotten up, and I don't know if you two brothers and sisters have families."

"However, this deer skin is enough for you to survive the winter, you are an elder brother, you must protect your sister, she is so young, she can't be frozen."

Shen Ningning poked out a small head from behind Xu Jingxi.

She smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper: "Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper." ”

"Ouch, that's good, come, take it." The shopkeeper put two deerskins in a straw basket.

After confirming that he didn't need the silver, Xu Jingxi was willing to accept it.

The two returned with a full load, but unfortunately, Shen Ningning couldn't carry her straw basket.

So, Xu Jingxi took the initiative to put everything with him and carried it on his back.

On the way back to the university, he didn't look very happy.

"Fellow Xu, why don't you laugh?"

"Laughing at what?"

"Isn't it good that we picked up two deerskins for nothing?"

looked at Shen Ningning's round and innocent big eyes.

Xu Jingxi pursed his lips before saying, "In my life, there is no free thing. ”

"Even if it's free now, there may be a huge price behind it, so I'm worried that there will be a pitfall."

Shen Ningning was surprised.

"Two deerskins, there shouldn't be any traps? That shopkeeper looks good. ”

Xu Jingxi was silent.

The little guy looked at his well-defined profile and was a little puzzled.

Of course, Xu Jingxi also knew that she would not understand.

In his life, he has encountered kindness in his skin.

When the skin was uncovered and those people revealed their original intentions, they found that the word evil had already hung over his head like a knife.

That's why he's so vigilant.

Xu Jingxi does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world.

Probably seeing that his expression was not very good, Shen Ningning changed the topic.

"Well, yes, everyone says my words are rumors, why do you want to believe it, come out with me to pick up clothes?"

"Because I need to." Xu Jingxi did not deny it.

His voice was like frost: "Even if there is no snow disaster, as long as it snows every year, my house will be crushed once." ”

Because the place where he lives is too simple.

"My grandparents are old, and with these cotton clothes and quilts, even if the snow collapses the house, they won't be able to freeze for the time being."

"I'm going to get the roof back up in the shortest possible time."

Hearing this, Shen Ningning's eyes widened.

The little one felt that his life had been hard enough.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingxi worked even harder than her.

Shen Ningning thought for a moment and raised his eyes in the jet-black water spirit.

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of houses, if you can't hold on, come to Xiangyun Village to find me."

Xu Jingxi did not answer.

He will rely on himself in everything, and never expect to rely on others.

Naturally, he didn't take Shen Ningning's words to heart.

At this time, Guo Fuzi's shouting was heard in the distance-

"Hey~" Han Fuzi pressed the hood on his head and hurriedly ran over: "Is there anything left to pick up, I also want two." ”

Shen Ningning sneered and looked at the panting Master Han.

"Master, why do you have to pick it up!"

"Don't do it in vain, you said this, no one else believes you, the master must be on your side, no matter how you say it, you have to take two pieces back."

Han Fuzi said, picking and choosing among the straw baskets on Xu Jingxi's back.

"Okay, I'll take this." He took out a cotton coat.

Looking at Shen Ningning and Xu Jingxi's gray faces, he couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go, Master, I'll invite you two to drink hot wontons."

Xu Jingxi said lightly: "I won't go, I'll ...... later."

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Shen Ningning and Han Fuzi left and right.

"Horn! Eat a bowl, just in time. The little guy said glutinously.

Han Fuzi also followed and said, "That's it, be polite to me." ”

After half a stick of incense, the three teachers and students sat at a small table on the side of the road, each with a bowl of fragrant wontons in front of them.

Shen Ningning feasted.

Xu Jingxi didn't move the spoon for a long time.

He always feels bad when he takes other people's for nothing.

Han Fuzi saw his thoughts and said, "Jingxi, on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, you came to my house to help." ”

Xu Jingxi agreed without thinking about it: "Okay." ”

That's why he was willing to move the spoon.

Shen Ningning and Xu Jingxi went to the street together to "pick up rags", and soon Ye Shangyi became a laughing stock in the Chinese Academy.

Everyone didn't dare to ridicule Shen Ningning in person, but they didn't want to block Xu Jingxi and ridicule him.

Several times Han Fuzi relieved Xu Jingxi, but found that he was extremely calm.

When others provoked him, he didn't even move his eyebrows.

Nothing seemed to make him angry.

However, this situation did not last long.

Soon, the crown prince in the palace, Mo Lingwei, heard about this and issued an edict.

Ordered everyone to sell unsellable cotton clothes, quilts, and various cold-proof props to him.

Zichen Palace received all the orders, and the price was still the normal market price.

Mo Lingwei even said: "I don't care what the national teacher says, I believe what Shen Ningning said." ”

In this way, everyone immediately understood that the prince did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support the lord of Funing.

And all the things he bought, Mo Lingwei transferred them all to Shen Ningning.

Not only that, the Xie family quietly wrapped two granaries with a wide area.

It is used to store purchased firewood.

Xie Suzhi kept everything Shen Ningning wanted in his heart.

Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Shen Ningning wore a festive brocade red cotton jacket and carried a bag of New Year's candy, and went to the village with the Black Wolf King.

Firecrackers have already been fired several times, and the New Year is approaching, and the faces of the villagers are full of joy.

"Happy New Year, aunts and uncles!" Along the way, the little guy saw many acquaintances.

She graciously grabbed a handful of candy and handed it over.

It happened that Chen Ye came back and greeted him: "Miss, I just went to see it, Uncle Zhong and Aunt Yun have already greeted everyone, and they are celebrating the New Year together, so you don't have to worry." ”

"I also said that I would wait until after the second year of junior high school to come to the village to pay New Year's greetings to the young lady."

Shen Ningning nodded in agreement, and at this moment, there was the sound of a carriage at the entrance of the village.

The villagers looked back and said with a smile: "Ning Ning, look who is back!" ”
