C11 Preparations (1/2)
Chapter 10 Preparing for Work During the summer when nothing was happening, Jin Niang took a beautiful nap, and upon waking up, she immediately began to prepare the things that the acanthopanax needed. She was too young, and she couldn't even lift anything heavy, so she had to think of a way to save energy.
So when he came to Xia Lanqing's room, Xia Lanqing had already woken up. When he saw Jin Niang, he greeted her with a smile. ”Come and look at the clothes I made for you.”
Jin Niang smiled as she walked in front of her. She did not expect her to make him clothes again, ”I still have some clothes on, Madam …”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xia Lanqing, ”Child, why are you still calling me Madam? ”In the future, just call me mother with Yan'er.”
Jin Niang:...
Su Moyan, who just happened to walk in:
Hearing footsteps, Jin Niang looked towards Su Moyan. The reason why she did not speak was mainly because she thought about that child-rearing daughter-in-law from before. She was afraid that others might think too much into it, so she felt that she had other intentions.
Xia Lanqing smiled and explained: ”I've always wanted a daughter. How nice is a daughter! ”She's obedient and sensible.”
As he said this, his eyes dimmed for a moment, ”Unfortunately, in the end, I was still unable to achieve it.” He probably thought of his deceased husband.
Su Moyan and Jin Niang both couldn't bear to see her like this and quickly went forward to comfort her. It was Su Moyan who spoke first, ”Naturally, I would also like to have a younger sister.”
Jin Niang looked at him, this was ignoring the words of a child bride.
Who would be willing to be a daughter-in-law if they had nothing better to do? Even if Su Mo were beautiful, it wouldn't do!
Thus, Jin Niang smiled and called out to Xia Lanqing 'Mother'. Xia Lanqing happily embraced Jin Niang in her arms.
Jin Niang was speechless. So she had such a skipping personality!
Su Moyan had come to see if his mother was alright. This was a habit that he had always formed. Even when he was studying, he had to insist on paying respects to his mother every day.
On the other hand, Xia Lanqing held out clothes that she made for Jin Niang for Su Mo Yan to see, ”Yan'er, look. These are clothes that I made for Jin Niang. It was also because she could tell that Jin Niang truly had an outstanding appearance. Even if his face was yellow and skinny, it couldn't cover up her good complexion.
Thinking about Jin Niang's pair of black-hearted parents, she could not help but sigh. Jin Niang was indeed not like those parents' child, it was no wonder that they would suspect him.
Furthermore, Xia Lanqing could tell that Jin Niang was very different from other village kids during these few days. If she had to say something, she looked exactly like Su Moyan.
Xia Lanqing's thoughts were simple yet also very sensitive. What she felt were the most primitive emotions and she could feel the sincerity of Jin Niang towards her, and she could also feel that Jin Niang was harmless. At the same time, she knew that Jin Niang was not harmless, but it did not affect her interests.
This kind of person was the best to get along with, because as long as they identified him as a person, he would be considered to be protective, and Xia Lanqing just happened to be one of them.
Su Mo Yan had always been a filial son, so it was naturally his mother who said whatever she wanted to say. After hearing what Jin Niang said, she looked at Jin Niang and nodded, ”Mother's eyes are naturally very good.”
When Xia Lanqing heard this, she stopped what she was doing and looked at Jin Niang curiously. Ask him to help? For what?
However, her eyes were clearly glowing. Her body wasn't healthy, and her family wouldn't allow her to do anything. There were many restrictions, and she felt like a cripple.
Even if she and Su Moyan were the only ones left, Su Moyan would still be extremely nervous towards her, afraid that something bad would happen to her.
She knew this was all part of his good intentions and was doing it for her own good, but she still couldn't get rid of the thought that she was a burden and a cripple.
When he first saw Jin Niang, he wanted to buy her. Seeing her pity him in one way and also feeling that she was needed, this kind of girl was someone who could protect her!
Now that Jin Niang asked for her help, she was naturally very excited. If she was in need of help, did it mean that she would no longer be a cripple?
When Su Moyan saw the look in her mother's eyes, she couldn't help but think a little more. He knew that his mother's health wasn't good, and even when his father was alive, he had always worried about his mother.
After his father passed away, he matured even more because he was the only man in the family. He had to support the family and protect his mother from the rain and wind.
Therefore, he paid more attention to his mother, and was even more cautious.
Only now did he realize that this attitude might have caused his mother to feel uneasy. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she was feeling uneasy in her heart.
Thus, after hearing Jin Niang's words and looking at her mother's expression, she swallowed the words that almost came out of her mouth.
While he was thinking, Jin Niang had already told Xia Lanqing his idea, which was to put two straps on the cloth bag to make a double-shouldered bag. With such scattered pressure, it would be easier to eat a lot of food.
It actually had a similar meaning to those small baskets, but Jin Niang felt that it was better to be able to reduce its weight a little.
There was no helping it, she was still too young, so she could only think of a clever plan.
