Chapter 42 (1/2)
“Wow…finally.”
Out of the restaurant, Ling Jingxuan exaggeratedly exhaled a big breath, moved his stiff neck. It was true that comfortable days would foster one’s laziness. Having transmigrated here only over a few days, within an hour of camouflage almost exhausted him. In previous life for the sake of mission success, he often needed makeup penetration, lurking for several days, but he had never felt tired. But today, though poor, his heart was calm at ease, he almost forgot that licking-blood-on-blade life.
“Daddy, daddy, does the silver really belong to us now?”
The big bun behind him can’t believe it till now. His daddy just made food that looked delicious. How did he make two whole taels of silver? How many fish would they have to sell to save so much money?
“Huh?”
Hearing his words, Ling Jingxuan lowered his head to look at him and then crooked his lips and said, “Yes, it’s all ours. Daddy earned it very hard.”
It’s hard, hard pretending to act well-mannered.
“Really? Really?”
Even if had been confirmed by him, Ling Wen still tightly clenched the silver and kept asking. The usually shrewd and precocious Lin Wen finally showed what a five years old child should be like. Ling Jingxuan squatted down to his level, and said word by word, “Really, it is ours.”
“Wow. Daddy! Daddy…”
However, the next second, Ling Wen holding money jumped into his arms. Ling Wu who was next to him couldn’t help reddening his eyes. Those passers-by stopped and watched them strangely. Ling Jingxuan already got dumbfounded when Ling Wen started crying. After quite a while, he patted on his back, whispering, “It’s all right, it’s all right, say something if you want to. You are a man. How can you cry like that? Be good. Stop crying.”
He could say that he had seen countless different people, with an eye, he could tell who was good and who was bad, but at this moment, he was a little bit confused about his little bun. Making money is a good thing, for someone who is money-loving like him, shouldn’t he be happy? Why is he crying so hard?
“Ge, don’t cry, I want to cry when I see you cry…”
Ling Wu choked while stretching out the thin small arms holding them, tears spinning in the eyes, which might burst out at any second.
“Boohoo…Hmm, I don’t cry. Xiao Wu doesn’t cry either.”
Ling Wen who was choking hard listened to his little brother’s words miraculously. He who had claimed as his eldest brother had to set a good example, so he rushed out of Ling Jingxuan’s arms, raised a hand to wipe off the tears on the face hurriedly, also, did not forget to take a corner of his clothes to wipe the face for Ling Wu. Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan again could not help but feel sour in the heart. Sometimes it wasn’t a good thing that the children were too sensible. He had to think of a way to resume his innocence and liveliness a five years old child should have.
“Ge, you don’t cry, either.”
Ling Wu sensibly nodded, and held back the tears that were popping out.
Ling Wen carefully put the two taels of silver into the old money bag, took Ling Wu’s hand and looked up at Ling Jingxuan, “Daddy, I am happy, we finally have money.”
