Chapter 163 Afraid of Being Sent Away
"This child has been spoiled beyond measure."
Yun Lan's face turned red, and the next second, she was hugged by Fang Yanheng from behind.
Half an hour passed.
Tinglou called for water.
The maid went in and out until the wooden barrel in the room was half full.
It was already dark.
At this time, the Jiang family had finished their meal long ago. A group of people had just finished bathing and were sitting in the yard chatting.
The door is open.
Ma Chunxia's family had just delivered the bamboo tubes, and Zhang Jinlan was still waiting for Wang Taohua's family to deliver the bamboo sticks.
Coincidentally.
She was just about to get up and go to the toilet.
Wang Taohua came with her eldest son, carrying a bamboo basket.
When I looked inside, I saw a lot of bamboo sticks in the bamboo basket.
"Sister-in-law, I came a little late. Did I delay anything? These are all I made today. You can use them first. You don't have to pay. I'm leaving now."
Wang Taohua put down the bamboo basket, grabbed her son's sleeve, turned around and wanted to leave.
But Zhang Jinlan stopped him loudly.
"Oh, don't go. I'll pay you. If you leave, I'll have to go to your house again. What will I do when I'm all sweaty? I just took a shower. Please let me go in this hot summer."
Zhang Jinlan laughed and scolded a few words, and Wang Taohua had no choice but to stop.
Zhang Jinlan gave her eldest son another look.
Jiang Dahe understood immediately, he squatted down and prepared to count the bamboo sticks.
However, after looking carefully, he discovered.
A piece of grass was tied to every twenty bamboo sticks.
There is no need to count them one by one.
Zhang Jinlan also saw the whole scene.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
I feel that Wang Taohua is quite capable.
She was not wrong.
Jiang Dahao counted for less than two minutes and it was done.
"Mom, there are three hundred and sixty in total."
According to the price agreed upon at the beginning, twenty sticks were given one cent, so three hundred and sixty sticks would be eighteen cents.
Having run the shop for so many days, Zhang Jinlan only took two seconds to calculate the number.
She counted out eighteen coppers from her purse.
Place it on Wang Taohua’s palm.
The latter didn't expect to get real money.
My hands were shaking with excitement.
"Hold it, stop shaking it. If you keep shaking it, the coin will fall out. I won't take care of it if someone picks it up. Well, it's getting late. Go back and have some rest. I have to go to the store in town early tomorrow morning, so I have to go to bed early."
After waiting for so long, Zhang Jinlan was already sleepy.
After seeing off Wang Taohua and her son, she yawned and went to the toilet in the backyard.
Just went back to the house and went to sleep.
Jiang Fubao still slept with his two cousins tonight.
The two sisters got up early.
So Jiang Fubao slept in the innermost room.
The window is half open.
The moonlight outside poured into the room.
I could vaguely feel the breeze blowing.
There were mosquitoes buzzing in the room from time to time, and Jiang Fubao was a little insomniac.
Seeing that his two cousins were also staring blankly with their eyes open, Jiang Fubao started chatting with them for no apparent reason.
"Sister, do you like the clothes grandma bought for you? I helped you choose two of them, and the remaining beige one was chosen by grandma."
The sweet and cute voice gently entered the ears of the two sisters.
Sun Lai Di replied, "I like it, but three sets are too many. We can just wear old clothes. Sister Wanru's old clothes are also new, without any patches, and they feel cool to the touch. It's not hot at all to wear. Aunt Yun also brought us the old clothes we changed out of before. Two sets are enough for changing.
In fact, there is no need to buy new clothes, Fubao, you are about the same age as your sister, and I am only a few years older than you. Otherwise, you can wear all our new clothes. You are pretty and not as dark as us. It would be a waste for us to wear them. Don't worry, I will tell grandma that we don't want to wear them. "
Sun Lai Di was afraid that her grandmother would misunderstand that her cousin had snatched their clothes, so she was considerate and thought of an excuse.
For her.
Able to escape from human teeth.
She was very satisfied.
She didn't want any clothes, new or not.
As long as their grandmother doesn't send the two sisters back to Sunjia Village.
Let her do whatever she wants.
I was worried that raising myself and my sister would cost a lot of food.
Sun Lai Di didn't even dare to eat her fill.
Jiang Fubao was the one who always paid attention to her emotions and kept picking food for her.
This allowed the two frightened sisters to fill their stomachs.
"How can it be considered a waste to give you clothes to wear? You are my sisters, not strangers. Grandma can buy new clothes for me, and she can buy clothes for you as well. Besides, Grandma also said that when you two are seven years old, I will register you in our household registration. By then, your surname will no longer be Sun, but Jiang. Grandma also said that she will give you new names.
What's the matter with Lai Di and the dead sister? Grandma said that, it's too harsh. Grandma is really good to you, she loves you too, and so do we. No one will despise you. You don't have to get up so early in the future, just sleep in with me. The adults will do the housework, and we are still children. Let's help with the housework when we grow up."
Jiang Fubao said this without blushing or beating his heart.
A man in his twenties has been pretending to be a child for too long.
It's as if everyone has become childish.
"What? Help us change our surnames? Seriously? Sister Fubao, please don't lie to us. Grandma is really going to help us change our surnames? Then, won't we be members of the Jiang family from now on?"
Sun Lai Di’s eyes widened.
His dark eyes were exceptionally bright in the room at night.
Illuminated by the moonlight.
It seems a bit scary.
"Yes, it's true, but grandma said to keep it a secret for now, so don't let it slip, and don't let grandma know that I told you."
Jiang Fubao stretched out his index finger and placed it in front of his mouth.
Hissed.
"Well, it's great that we don't say anything, Sister Fubao. From now on, we will really be a family."
Sun Lai Di felt like crying.
Ever since it was sold by my grandma.
She felt like she had no home anymore.
Even if I go back to my grandparents' home.
She was also feeling uneasy.
After all, my maternal grandparents' house is my outsiders' house, and it would be inappropriate for them to live there.
The villagers would also point fingers.
But from then on, she and her sister took the surname Jiang.
Then this is her home.
Think of this.
Sun Lai Di shed a few drops of crystal 'pearls'.
When Jiang Fubao heard her sister crying, she stretched out her short arms like lotus roots and gently patted Sun Laidie's back.
Then he coaxed her for a long time like a little adult.
After lying down, she hummed a modern nursery rhyme.
He managed to coax both of them and himself to sleep.
when Wake up.
I unexpectedly saw the Sun Lai Di and her sister putting on their clothes.
It was already half light outside.
At this time yesterday, they were already up.
It seems that the two sisters listened to what she said last night.
Jiang Fubao was very pleased.
Because she had to stuff something under the bed, Jiang Fubao could only continue pretending to be asleep. She only got up after the two sisters left.
When I came out, I saw my mother hanging out the washed clothes.
The new clothes of my two cousins were hung on a hemp rope, fluttering in the morning breeze. They were colorful and looked particularly beautiful.
