85. Chapter 85
Xu Qiuer pestered Guan Ping to teach her the two moves to deal with bad people. The moves were easy to learn, but when she went to tease her mother naughtyly, Li shook her daughter away with a wave of her arm.
"No strength at all, what's the use of just knowing moves?" Li sarcasticted his daughter mercilessly.
Xu Qiuer shook her arms in annoyance and asked Guan Ping how to practice strength.
Li rushes to answer for Guan Ping: "It's not easy to practice strength. I'll walk around our village every day with Amu. After a long time, I'll have the strength to keep it."
Amu leaned in his sister's arms and laughed at him.
Xu Qiuer glared at her cousin fiercely, "Smile again, I'll go to my cousin's house for dinner the day after tomorrow, and I won't get you candy."
Last month, I went to my cousin's house to celebrate my cousin's third year of washing. In a blink of an eye, the little guy is about to pass the full moon again.
Ningxiang smiled and asked Li, "Have you named my nephew?"
Li smiled and said, "No, I'll give you a nickname this time. Xiang'er, you didn't see it. The child had a birthmark like a copper coin on his wrist. He would definitely make money when he grew up. Last time, your cousin's wife joked that her nickname was called copper coin."
Ningxiang chanted softly and jokingly: "Copper coins are pretty good."
"Well, it sounds better than Amu anyway." Xu Qiuer said with a wicked smile.
Amu was unhappy and turned around and refused to show it to the second sister.
My mother talks and laughs.
Guan Ping sat silently beside him, focusing on choosing the leeks in his hands.
At noon, Li made a box of leeks, and the filling was mixed with eggs. Although the filling of leeks smelled strange afterwards, it tasted really good.
After taking a few bites, Ningxiang suddenly remembered that time he was eating porridge with Lu Cheng at the porridge shop. A Tao said that Lu Cheng liked to eat leek filling the most.
Unintentionally, I thought of him again.
I lost my appetite all of a sudden, so I barely ate one, drank some millet porridge, Ningxiang put down her chopsticks, sat next to me and watched the family eat.
"I'm full." Xu Huai put down his chopsticks the second time, got up and walked outside.
Mrs. Li asked her son in wonder, "You haven't stayed at home every day these days, so why have you been doing?"
"Sit around and see if there is any work." Xu Huai said without looking back and soon walked out of the gate.
Mrs. Li continued to nag for a few words.
Xu Qiuer secretly glanced at Guan Ping, worried about her brother, but her brother refused to tell her what was going on, and she couldn't ask Guan Ping directly. However, Guan Ping lived in her own home and her life would be long in the future, so her brother might not have no chance.
"Anan hasn't been here for several days, right?" After a break, Xu Qiuer went to the west courtyard to find her cousin, and suddenly asked, "The boy is cute, she thought a little bit.
"Maybe it's busy at home." Ningxiang said casually and lowered her head to cut the fabric for the tube.
Guan Ping can't make clothes, and the aunt felt sorry for the money and refused to allow her to buy ready-made clothes in the shop, saying that she would help her make them. Ningxiang didn't want to bother her aunt, so she was going to do it herself and make Guan Ping a summer dress and autumn dress.
Xu Qiuer looked at the door of the west room, lay on the kang, and asked her cousin in a low voice, "Sister, Brother Lu recently..."
The smile on Ningxiang's face instantly froze, and she scolded her with a cold face, "Now there are more people at home, so you are not allowed to mention him again."
Xu Qiuer was frightened by her appearance and nodded quickly.
Ningxiang felt that she was too strict. Seeing that her cousin was so scared that she didn't dare to speak, she sighed and whispered: "Something sister can tell you, but she doesn't want others to know about it. Qiu'er, I wasn't angry with you just now, just..."
"I know, my sister is thin-skinned, I won't say anything." Xu Qiuer smiled sweetly, no need for her cousin to apologize.
"I'll make you a piece in the back." Ningxiang coaxed softly.
I was actually a little strange. In the past, Anan came from home for the longest interval of four days, and this time it was already over. Are you really busy? Or is Lu Cheng too obedient. In order to avoid suspicion, he would not allow Anan to come if he didn't come?
After random speculation for a night, Lu Ding sent A Tao and Anan the next day.
"Aunt, it hurts!" When Anan saw his mother again, she felt wronged and raised her fat hand to show her to her.
Ningxiang lowered her head and saw that there were hole-like scars in the thickest part of the little guy's palm. Although it had scabs, her heart was thrusting.
"How did you do it?" Ningxiang grabbed Anan's wrist and asked Lu Ding with heartache.
Lu Ding didn't dare to look at her, lowered his eyes and said, "That day I coaxed Anan. Someone outside called me. I saw Anan having a good time, so I didn't carry him out. As soon as I got outside, I heard him crying. When I went in, I saw that he took out a wooden board between the cabinet and the water tank. There were nails on the board. He accidentally thorned his hand..."
My elder brother came back in the evening and beat him several times with the board.
After being stabbed by a nail, Ningxiang felt pain after thinking about it. She lowered her head and kissed Anan on the forehead, "Does Anan still hurt?"
Anan nodded obediently and rubbed his mother's shoulder aggrievedly, "Dad scolded."
After hearing this, Ningxiang immediately felt the scary look of Lu Cheng yelling Anan with a calm face.
