Chapter 5: Send Chicken Soup
Chapter 5 Sending Chicken Soup
She knew that the hard life she had lived through in the past few years and their attitude before must have hurt Ningning.
No matter how much she said, it would be useless. She could only prove it with her actions in the future.
Zhang Ailian tried to suppress her emotions and sore eyes, and forced a smile, saying, “Ningning, you said you don’t like the clothes left by Fangfang, so I will take them away. In two days, mother will make new clothes for you.”
Xu Fangfang’s clothes were all made by Zhang Ailian herself. There were several sets of clothes for all seasons.
It was also when she was sorting them out that Zhang Ailian discovered that except for the clothes she wore when she left that day, Xu Fangfang did not take the rest.
It can be seen that Xu Fangfang left these clothes, just as Ningning said.
One is to leave them to stimulate Ningning, and the other is that she felt that these clothes were not worthy of her future identity as a city dweller.
Touching the clothes in her hand, Zhang Ailian realized for the first time so clearly that Xu Fangfang, the adopted daughter, actually looked down on this family in her heart, and was not as kind as she appeared on the surface.
Zhang Ailian did not intend to leave these clothes to bother Ningning.
She planned to exchange these clothes for cloth, and use the new cloth to make two new clothes for Ningning.
She believed that the villagers were willing to exchange.
”Oh, okay, okay.” Xu Jinning nodded blankly.
To be honest, she felt a little strange about Zhang Ailian’s change. According to the plot, shouldn’t she be forced to wear Xu Fangfang’s clothes, and ridicule her if she didn’t wear them? How did it develop into taking Xu Fangfang’s clothes away and making new clothes for her?
Xu Jinning couldn’t figure it out, but it was a good thing that it could develop like this.
Zhang Ailian saw that Xu Jinning was obviously very excited, and her originally depressed mood also improved a little.
After taking Xu Fangfang’s clothes out, Zhang Ailian took a ruler in to help Xu Jinning measure the size.
”Only after measuring the size can we make clothes.”
”Oh, okay.” Xu Jinning naturally didn’t refuse and got off the bed.
Xu Jinning could clearly feel that after eating lunch and drinking chicken soup, her physical strength had recovered a lot. As expected, people are iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will be hungry.
”Stand still, open your hands, I’ll measure you.”
”Okay.”
It was not until she actually measured Xu Jinning’s body and accidentally touched the protruding bones under Xu Jinning’s thin clothes that Zhang Ailian deeply realized that Ningning must have had a hard life these years.
This body is too thin, too thin, there is not much meat, it’s all protruding bones.
With this, how dare the Lin family say that Ningning had lived a carefree life in the city for more than ten years?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ningning must have had a hard life in the past.
But why did they seem to be blind before, only hearing Xu Fangfang’s words, but not seeing Ningning’s poor health?
Zhang Ailian once again felt that she, as a biological mother, really owed Ningning too much.
Zhang Ailian planned to make as much delicious food as possible, such as meat and eggs, and it would be best if her husband could find a way to get malted milk to nourish Ningning’s body.
After hurriedly measuring Ningning’s body, Zhang Ailian did not dare to let Ningning see her red eyes, and left.
Xu Jinning looked at her back, thinking.
She seemed to hear sobbing just now, although it was very light, but she really heard it…
–
After returning to her room, the emotional Zhang Ailian cried again. It took a long time for her to sort out her emotions and come out, holding Xu Fangfang’s clothes to go out and change the fabric.
On Xu Xiangdong’s side, he excitedly carried a bowl of chicken soup to the Youth House.
Fearing that it would be seen and the smell of the chicken soup would spread, Xu Xiangdong even wrapped it up with clothes.
Because Sun Zhiqing had said before that she was shy, she didn’t want others to know about their relationship before they were sure to be together, for fear of affecting their reputation.
Xu Xiangdong felt that it made sense.
He also felt that Sun Zhiqing was very self-disciplined and a good girl who cared about her reputation.
When they were almost at the Zhiqing Yard, Xu Xiangdong hid the chicken soup behind a tree before heading to the Yard.
At noon, it was time for everyone to rest and eat.
In the Yard, the Zhiqing Yard also gathered together, and it was very lively.
”Sun Zhiqing, Sun Zhiqing…” Xu Xiangdong shouted outside.
Soon, a woman appeared in the Yard.
The girl with her ponytail raised high looked charming, especially her eyes, which were charming and affectionate.
The only flaw was that her nose was relatively flat.
If you look closely, you can also see that her eyes are always shining with shrewdness.
When Xu Xiangdong saw Sun Meiwen, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to her. At the age of 19, he rarely had two blushes of embarrassment on his dark face.
Even his speech was a little incoherent because of shyness and excitement.
”Sun, Sun Zhiqing, you’re here.”
”Well, hello, Brother Xiangdong.” Sun Meiwen stopped approaching Xu Xiangdong when she was a distance away from him. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one else came out. Then she led Xu Xiangdong away from the Zhiqing courtyard without leaving any trace.
Thinking that it was noon, she smiled and asked, “By the way, Brother Xiangdong, it’s noon, have you eaten?”
”I, I ate, and I’m full.” Xu Xiangdong actually hadn’t eaten yet. He rushed over as soon as the chicken soup was ready.
But he felt very warm when he heard Sun Zhiqing’s words.
Sun Zhiqing, he was caring about him.
”By the way, I brought you chicken soup and chicken legs.” After saying that, Xu Xiangdong led Sun Meiwen to where he hid the chicken soup.
When Sun Meiwen heard about chicken soup and chicken legs, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She swallowed her saliva uncontrollably.
When she saw Xu Xiangdong take out the bowl of steaming chicken soup with a chicken leg on it, which was still fragrant, Sun Meiwen’s eyes fell on it and couldn’t move away.
After eating the other things that Xu Xiangdong brought, Sun Meiwen knew how good Xu Xiangdong’s mother, Zhang Ailian, was at cooking. The dishes were even more delicious than those made by the chefs in the state-owned restaurants.
Not to mention the chicken soup and chicken legs in front of
her.
Since going to the countryside, Sun Meiwen had difficulty eating meat, let alone getting full. She often cried with hunger at night.
The feeling of hunger was really too uncomfortable.
And at this moment, the chicken legs in front of her were just meat.
She could even imagine how comfortable and satisfied she would feel after drinking this hot and fragrant chicken soup.
However…
Sun Meiwen did not take the chicken soup, but said, “Brother Xiangdong, this is chicken soup and chicken legs. Do you have any to eat? Why did you bring it to me? What about you?”
”I have eaten it, really. Sun Zhiqing, this is something I specially left for you. Don’t be polite. Take it and eat it. You are too thin and have to go to work every day. It’s too hard. You need to replenish your body.” As he said that, Xu Xiangdong forced the chicken soup into Sun Meiwen’s hand.
