Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 89 From now on, she will be our daughter
After getting off the carriage and entering the yard, they saw a thin little girl in the yard. She became frightened when she saw them getting off the carriage.
Qing Ning guessed that this must be her aunt's house. She walked over and looked at her with a smile, "Hello, Aunt Zhen, I'm Qing Ning."
Zhenzhen was a little overwhelmed when she saw the little girl, who only reached her chest, looking at her with crescent eyes. She whispered, "Hello, Sister Qingning."
"Aunt Zhen, I'm Qingyu."
Seeing Qingyu take the initiative to say hello, she rubbed her hands uncomfortably: "Hello, Brother Yu."
"Come on, aunt, I'll take you out to play." As she said that, she took Zhenzhen's hand and led her into the house.
"No, don't go in. The gentlemen in the room are writing. Don't disturb them."
Zhenzhen arrived in the afternoon, very frightened. Old Mrs. Chen and the others felt both sad and resentful when they saw her.
It was heartbreaking to see a 10-year-old girl so thin and frail, with bruises all over her body. One could tell she had suffered so much. Naturally, he hated the Shi family, a family of beasts with hearts of stone.
Since it was their first meeting, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li both gave gifts, and since it was a sudden event, they all wrapped them in red envelopes. The younger ones also gave slightly smaller gifts.
After Tan Chun sent the person over, he drove the ox cart back without stopping, no matter how the Chen family tried to persuade him to stay.
"Grandma Chen, Auntie, I borrowed this ox cart from the village and I must return it today. It's still daylight now so it won't be too late if I hurry home."
Seeing that his aunt's house had such a small courtyard that there was no room for her to live there, Tan Chun naturally declined as he did not want to cause her any trouble.
Seeing his insistence, Old Lady Chen and Mrs. Tan decided not to keep him any longer. They packed some snacks for him to take with him to eat on the way. Tan Chun didn't hesitate, took the snacks, and said goodbye.
"Aunt Zhenzhen, I am your aunt Qingke. Second Aunt has a large family, so you will live with me in the future. Can I take you to see the house first?" Qingke felt sorry for her, and seeing that she was restrained, she took her to see the house.
Zhenzhen let her pull her without saying a word.
Seeing that her clothes were too short, Qingzhu went into the house to find some clothes. Although they were only two years apart in age, they were almost the same height. Qingzhu even looked half a head taller than Zhenzhen.
"Alas, I've been so busy that I haven't thought about making clothes for my family." Qingzhu felt helpless as he held the clothes.
Indeed, although I made some money in the past few months, it was gone quickly. I could only focus on the most important things, and I didn't add anything to the family.
She took the clothes and went to the next room: "Aunt Zhenzhen, I see that you are about the same size as me, and we haven't bought any new clothes. I found a half-worn dress for you to wear first. I will make new clothes after this period of time. Don't mind."
Zhenzhen quickly took it and said, "I don't mind, I don't mind, thank you, aunt."
How could she dislike it? From childhood to adulthood, all she ate and wore were the leftovers from the eldest wife's family. Anything good that came to her was collected by her sisters.
Now at her aunt's house, everyone is kind to her, and she is naturally happy and touched.
"Zhenzhen, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No need, aunt, I'll go and help." After saying that, he went out without waiting for the two to respond.
Qingke and Qingzhu shook their heads helplessly, and without saying much, they went back to their second aunt's house together.
"Aunt, is there anything I can help you with?" Mrs. Tan was busy picking vegetables. When she saw Zhenzhen coming over and asking, she smiled and let her go and play.
"You don't need to help. Auntie is busy. You can go and play or you can go inside and watch them write."
After hearing this, Zhenzhen didn't say anything, but squatted beside to help pick vegetables. Seeing that she was determined, Tan Shi agreed to her request.
Qingke and Qingzhu came back and saw her helping Tan pick vegetables. They looked at each other, went into the main room, said something to them, and came out to help.
"Aunt, cousin, please come into the house and write. I'm here to help you." When she came, she saw that all the children in her aunt's family, both boys and girls, could learn to write and read, and she felt both envious and admired.
Seeing them helping her, she felt that these were hands used for reading and writing, so how could they do such rough work?
"There's no need for our help, the masters are enough. We should write less to avoid being laughed at by others." Qingke laughed at himself, and he and Qingzhu looked at each other and laughed.
Seeing them like this, Zhenzhen felt relieved and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
Qing Ning was pulling her at this moment, how could she dare to go into the house and disturb her? She kept pushing and refusing.
"Okay, little sister, it's almost time for dinner, you should go to the kitchen. Aunt Zhenzhen is coming, so you should make some extra delicious food." Qingyu saw that she was reserved, so he spoke up to smooth things over.
"Okay, I'll cook today to welcome my uncle and the others." He didn't insist and let Zhenzhen go into the kitchen.
"Aunt Zhen, don't mind. Qing Ning likes you very much, and so do we. You can treat this place as your home from now on, and we will be your brothers and sisters."
Zhenzhen almost cried at Qingyu's words. This was a kindness she had never felt before. She nodded with red eyes.
"Aunt Zhen, let's go inside first."
After greeting him, he led Xu Minglang into the main hall, where candles were already lit. Everyone was so engrossed in their studies that they didn't even notice the newcomer. Qingyu and Xu Minglang found a seat and sat down. Seeing everyone's concentration, Qingyu didn't shy away and started writing.
There were many people around in the evening, so Qingning thought of the menu and arranged for her family to help, and she did not forget Zhenzhen.
Since they were family, they naturally couldn't be too polite or distant, otherwise it would make her even more uncomfortable. It would be better to just be normal, which would make her feel more at ease. This was indeed the case. Seeing that they were kind to her, Zhenzhen felt less anxious and comfortable.
In addition to the regular meals, because my uncle and aunt were still injured, I made two special side dishes for them. To make it easier to take care of them, Chen Changjiang and Tan slept separately, each taking care of one of them.
Zhenzhen felt very uncomfortable during dinner. Everyone was very caring towards her, but perhaps because she had not had enough to eat for years, she only ate a little and then stopped eating.
"Zhenzhen, why don't you eat some more?" Seeing her put down her chopsticks, Tan was worried that she was embarrassed.
"Auntie, I can't eat anymore. You guys eat slowly and don't worry about me."
Seeing that she had only eaten so little, everyone was afraid that she would feel embarrassed so they helped her with some food: "How can you be full after eating so little? You look so thin, eat more."
Seeing everyone serving her food, Zhenzhen was touched but also embarrassed: "I'm really full. Stop serving me food. I'm not being polite, I just can't hold any more."
Seeing her like this, Qingzhu understood everything and went to serve her a small bowl of egg custard.
"Aunt Zhen, eat this bowl of egg custard to help digest the food. During this period, you should eat more easily digestible food to nourish your stomach."
After Qingzhu finished speaking, everyone at the table understood, but they didn't want to show too much emotion, so they just nodded.
Zhenzhen took the bowl, whispered, "I understand," and started eating in small bites.
She ate while she cried. When had she ever tasted such delicious food? Her parents were not liked by her grandparents, and her father was often away working, leaving her and Tan alone at home. Her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters bullied her and her mother. She thought this was how her life would be.
Seeing her crying, everyone felt a little heavy.
Qingke walked over and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "You will be our daughter from now on. The past is all in the past. Don't think about it anymore. If you like it, ask Qingning to make it for you. She is the best cook. Don't feel sorry for her."
"Yes, yes, Aunt Zhen, just tell me what you want to eat and I will cook it for you. It will be delicious." Qing Ning responded from the side, very proud.
When Zhenzhen saw how they treated her, she cried even harder.
"Look, big sister, it must be because you just asked Aunt Zhen to order me around. Aunt Zhen must be very distressed."
Everyone laughed at Qingning's joke, even Zhenzhen forgot to cry for a moment and sobbed.
"You, you are such a pitiful little thing." Qingke stood up, hugged Qingning and sat on his lap, and started to rub her little face.
"Don't cry, Zhen girl. Play with them more and don't think about anything else."
"kindness"
After a delicious meal, everyone went back to their own homes. Chen Changjiang and his wife each took care of the wounded and slept soundly through the night.
