Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality
Chapter 29: New Year and Trouble
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again.
This winter is particularly cold, and heavy snow is falling from the sky.
The surrounding houses and trees on the street were covered in snow. In the courtyard, the little girl breathed warm air on her hands. She wasn't actually cold. He Ling had already given her the fourth-grade medicinal bath, using century-old herbs. Even if she were left in the snow now, she would only feel a little chilly. She was simply used to blowing on her hands in winter to keep them from freezing.
Liu Qing has already prepared all the dishes and is just waiting for Sister Ling'er to come back so that she can cook. It's cold now, and if she prepares the dishes in advance, they will easily get cold.
She couldn't help but sigh softly as she looked at the twice as much food prepared as usual. Ever since she took the medicinal bath, her appetite had become much bigger. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as her sister Ling'er, she had no problem eating three big bowls of food in one meal.
At first, she wanted to control her food intake. After all, Sister Ling'er's family was not rich, and Sister Ling'er ate a lot. If she ate so much more, she was afraid that He Ling would go bankrupt.
However, a few days later, when He Ling saw the little girl with a pale face, he thought she was sick. After asking her, he found out the reason.
That was the first time she saw He Ling angry. The little girl was so scared that she almost knelt down in front of He Ling and kept begging He Ling to forgive her.
In the end, He Ling couldn't bring herself to say anything to her, but just wanted her not to skip meals, otherwise she would be really angry.
Liu Qing quickly made some assurances, which made He Ling's expression ease.
She recalled the scene at that time, but a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It was the first time she knew what family should feel like.
With the sound of a branch, the door of the yard was pushed open. He Ling shook off the snow on her shoulders and then stepped into the yard.
She had just finished patrolling the streets. There were not many people on the street. It was cold at that time and most people stayed at home. The leaves of the few big trees on the street had almost all fallen, making the street look even more deserted.
After thinking about it, she decided to take a break today. She only patrolled halfway and came back early.
It is worth mentioning that the jujube tree in the yard did not lose a single leaf. He Ling also forgot how much precious spring water she had dripped on the jujube tree. She only remembered that she had been idle for a long time at that time, and it would be a waste to keep the precious spring water in her body, so she watered it all on the jujube tree.
However, the date tree did not grow as Ling had expected, but maintained a size that was neither too big nor too small, and no longer changed. There were dates to eat all year round.
However, she had never seen Liu Qing pick dates, so she thought she probably didn't like to eat them. He Ling picked two dates and walked into the house.
When the two big yellow dogs saw He Ling, they wagged their tails and whined twice. He Ling patted the heads of both dogs before leaving.
"Xiaoqing, I'm back."
"Sister Ling'er, why are you back so early today?"
"Hehe, there's nothing to do today, so let's not talk about this for now. Nuo, would you like some dates?" As he said that, he handed Liu Qing a big green date.
Liu Qing was also shocked when he saw the green dates in his hand that were as big as eggs. He then asked with some confusion: "Sister Ling'er, where did you buy the green dates? I have never seen dates this big."
He Ling rolled her eyes. "Where else could it be? The one we planted in our yard."
Liu Qing seemed to be discovering it for the first time, "Ah, the jujube tree in the yard actually has jujubes. I saw that it didn't bear fruit all year round, so I thought it wasn't a jujube tree."
He Ling thought she was just joking, and happened to be feeling a little hungry, "When will Xiaoqing's meal be ready?"
"Oh, Sister Ling'er, go to your room and take a rest. You came back too early today. I just got started."
He Ling nodded and went back to her room. She now shared a room with Liu Qing. She had wanted to move back before, but when she saw the room, which was covered with dust because it had not been lived in for a long time, she immediately changed her mind.
With nothing to do, she thought about it and took off her shoes and socks, put her legs in the cup, leaned against the head of the bed, and took out a storybook to read. The storybook was an ancient novel, but the content was some strange stories.
After watching for a while, I heard the barking of two big yellow dogs outside the door.
He Ling leaned against the window and looked out, and saw Xiaoqing in green clothes walking out.
The little girl has now gone through the fourth forging medicinal bath. Her physical condition is no longer the same as before. Ordinary people can no longer hurt her, not to mention that it is broad daylight and she is still here.
She was lazy and didn't want to go out, so she leaned against the window without opening it, and looked at it vaguely through the window paper.
Xiaoqing opened the door and could vaguely see the back of an old man. The old man said something, and Xiaoqing became a little excited. After a while, Xiaoqing closed the door again.
He Ling sighed, "Ah, even during the New Year, I can't have peace."
Helplessly, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked out of the room.
As soon as she came out, she ran into Xiaoqing. The little girl seemed a little embarrassed, and finally just called out softly, "Sister Ling'er."
He Ling touched the little girl's head and said, "Tell me, Xiaoqing, I won't blame you no matter what happens."
Xiaoqing's eyes were full of tears. She said "hmm" coquettishly and then started talking.
It turned out to be Xiaoqing's father. He had squandered all his money and had nothing to sell this time, so he came to He Ling for help again.
When he saw Xiaoqing just now, he asked her to remember how kind her father was and beg Constable He to give her some more money.
The little girl couldn't be cruel after all, so she just told Sister Ling'er about it.
He Ling sighed and held Xiaoqing's face. "Xiaoqing, now I give you the choice. I will do whatever you want me to do."
"Just think about the consequences and don't regret it, okay?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, but nodded. After a moment's thought, she stared at He Ling's expression and whispered, "Sister Ling'er, why don't you give him some silver? It's freezing out here, and if he doesn't have any wine to drink, he'll definitely freeze to death."
"Sister Ling'er, don't worry. When I grow up, I will go out and find a job. I can do things very quickly now, so it will definitely not affect my cooking for Sister Ling'er."
He Ling looked at Xiaoqing with some pity. In fact, the little girl understood better than anyone that even if her father took the money, he would most likely buy some wine. However, she was too kind-hearted and she couldn't bring herself to do it even though she knew it.
He Ling nodded, patted the little girl's head again, took out fifteen taels of silver and handed it to the little girl, "No need, Xiaoqing, you only need to cook for me in the future, okay?"
Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, then walked towards the door.
