There was anger on her face and she was cursing and complaining. When Old Man He came in, he saw that she was unhappy and asked her a question.

He never expected that Mrs. He was not happy with him now. She squinted her eyes and said unceremoniously, "It's your eldest son who said he wanted..."

After listening to the whole story, Old Man He was speechless. He felt that the eldest son was becoming more and more arrogant and even dared to snatch the child from his mother. He did not dare to respond when he heard Mrs. He scolding her son. He just smiled along.

When her mother complained, Xia Yining did not stop and kept coaxing her, saying softly, "Ning'er will never abandon me. Wherever I am, I will be there. Don't be angry."

At the same time, I wanted to ask Mrs. He why she didn't go back to her parents' home, but when I remembered that she said last time that she was fleeing here with her father, I shut my mouth instantly.

There were only three of them left at home, so naturally they would not treat themselves badly. Mrs. He directly gave them two chickens, one for stewing mushroom chicken soup, and the other one that was cut into very small pieces and stir-fried with hot oil until it was very fragrant, and then added with spices and the like.

She picked some vegetables in the backyard and steamed a bowl of white rice for Xia Yining. She and the old man ate the rice with mixed grains.

Xia Yining sat next to Old Man He and helped him make the fire. She didn't see what was cooking in the pot until the food was served. Then she looked at a small bowl of white and fragrant rice.

Looking at the two of them again, her little mouth was so pouty that an oil bottle could be hung on it. She cried out in complaint, "Mom~~~ I told you that we are not short of money at home. We have to cook the same meals."

"How can Ning'er eat like this? Or do you not consider Ning'er as your own family?"

Seeing that her meals were different from those of her family every day, she was really unhappy and couldn’t eat with peace of mind, feeling a little wronged.

Even her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "If I hadn't met you, Ning'er would definitely be dead, let alone find her family."

"In Ning'er's heart, my family is my lifesaver. Meeting them is Ning'er's blessing. Can we eat the same meal?"

Thinking about the hundreds of taels of silver in the space, Xia Yining became a little angry and had some ideas in his mind. He gave some rice to the old couple of the He family and only ate after picking up the dishes.

Mrs. He: “?”

The hand that was trying to coax my daughter stopped in mid-air. I was at a loss as I saw her face suddenly change from gloomy to sunny. Why did it feel wrong?

Even Old Man He found it strange, thinking that the little girl shouldn't have this attitude. The two looked at each other and didn't dare to say more.

The old man said that one should be happy while eating. I had questions in my mind but didn't ask them. I just kept picking up food for her.

On this day, dogs were reluctant to leave Xiaotian Village. Almost half of the villagers had meat cooking in their pots at home, and the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat.

I originally wanted to save some meat for the boss and his friends when they came back to eat, but after these few days of interaction, I can say that I have a clear understanding of Xia Yining and his friends' personalities.

His tone was even, as if he was explaining something: "It's too hot to keep it. We have rabbits at home. It'll be delicious if we stir-fry them tonight."

The food was so different from the usual soft, sweet and sticky taste that it made Mrs. He feel a little scared. She instinctively picked up the chopsticks and continued eating. She thought timidly in her heart, why did she feel like Ning'er was losing her temper?

Not to mention that she was afraid, even Old Man He, who lived at the bottom of the family, was dazzled by her invisible aura and dared not breathe.

Xia Yining did not miss this scene. It hurt her heart, but she knew that she had to maintain this attitude before she came back from shopping.

Otherwise, the He family would definitely not eat it, and would be frugal and only cook her own meals. It would be a big problem for the body to be deprived for a long time.

After dinner, she didn't sleep either. She took Mrs. He's hand and looked at Old Man He, saying in a cold tone, "Dad and Mom, we need to buy a lot of things in town."

Old Man He looked at the sky. It was the hottest time of the day. He said with some distress, "Dad was wrong just now. Ning'er is taking a nap at home. Can you let Dad go buy anything for you?"

He really felt sorry for his little girl. If she walked on the road for a long time, she would easily get sunburned by the sun, and children could not bear it.

Looking at his expression, Xia Yining felt even more upset. She just wanted to get the job done quickly. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. Cover yourself up with clothes. Ning'er must go to this town."

In the end, they couldn't persuade her, and the three of them went out. Xia Yining was put on the cart, and He Pozi stood by and asked from time to time, "Ning'er, do you want to drink some water? Ask your father to stop for a while."

Xia Yining shook her head and said quickly, "Hurry up and get going. Ning'er will be fine. Don't worry, mother."

By the time she entered Changle Town, beads of sweat covered her forehead and she felt a little overwhelmed. The old couple of the He family looked much better than her.

I complained in my heart, "This body is so delicate."

He raised his little head and said, "Dad and Mom are going to the grain store, Ning'er wants to buy some food."

Mrs. He: “!”

He wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and asked, "What do you want to buy? We have everything at home."

Xia Yining shook his head, made a big circle with his hands, and said in a firm tone: "We need to buy a lot of fine grains and take them back to eat slowly. Dad and Mom will eat them, as will my eldest brother, his wife, and my little nephew. We need to eat our fill."

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet as it should be for her age, but her tone was firm and she would not tolerate any refusal. She just looked at her.

The old couple of the He family looked at each other and saw that she was determined. Mrs. He carried her to the grain store and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, whatever Ning'er wants, mother will give it to her. Buy some more today."

To Xia Yining's ears, it was obviously a perfunctory response. When they arrived at the grain store, she got off the man's arms and said to the shopkeeper she had met before, "Ning'er is here to take care of your business. You must give me a good price."

The grain store owner also had a smile on his face. He really liked the clever child and said gently, "Okay, okay, I see you again today. It's fate with you. You can pick whatever you want. I will definitely give you a discount."

When she was on the road, she took out dozens of taels of silver from the space and bought enough food.

She waved her hand, as if to give orders, and said boldly, "One hundred kilograms of rice, one hundred kilograms of millet, and two hundred kilograms of flour, load them all onto the car for me."

The shopkeeper: “!”

The servant was surprised and stood still. He looked at the clothes they were wearing and felt that they did not look like those of a wealthy family. Thinking of the attitude of the shopkeeper, he was unsure for a moment.

Mother He: “!!”

Old Man He: “!!”

The two were frightened and almost fell to the ground. They quickly apologized to the shopkeeper, "I'm sorry, we are young and don't know how expensive fine grains are. We don't need so much."

This was normal for the shopkeeper and the servant. They all breathed a sigh of relief and said with a good attitude, "It's okay, it's okay. The girl is very cute."
