Chapter 41: Toads cannot eat swan meat
Xue Ning returned to the kitchen to drink porridge and eat cakes. The cakes she made were so delicious that she didn't notice and ate five of them.
When she reacted, her belly was bulging.
After drinking the last mouthful of mung bean porridge, I remembered to lose weight.
If she continues to eat like this, she will definitely become a ball of fat.
She finished her dinner quite early today, and the sky was full of sunshine outside, which was quite bright.
In addition, the heat has subsided a lot in the evening, so it is still very comfortable to go for a walk.
Xue Ning packed up the kitchen dishes, then left the yard and walked around the village.
Fortunately, he hadn't wandered too far when he met Mu Xiaolong again.
Originally, he thought Mu Xiaolong was still going to pester her, so he was ready to yell and catch the gangsters, but when he saw her, Mu Xiaolong looked like he had seen a ghost, screamed "Ah", turned around and ran away, not giving Xue Ning any attention.
A chance to shout.
Xue Ning: "..." I was a little confused. How could I be so frightened when I saw a delicate and weak woman like her? She doesn't eat people.
That's true, but it would be the best thing if Mu Xiaolong didn't come to harass her.
Xue Ning ignored Mu Xiaolong and walked outside for a while, thinking that he would have to collect firewood in the mountains tomorrow and would need a tool!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get much firewood back just by carrying it with her bare hands.
Hmm...she needs a cart to pull things.
It's the kind that has two wheels and a whole board on top of the wheels. People can pull the cart in front and things can be placed on the cart.
A pallet truck can pull a lot of things, and it saves effort. It is one of the first choice tools for work.
Even a trolley is a big item, and not everyone has one.
Xue Ning asked someone to inquire and got the news that the carpenter's house in the village had a pallet truck.
She was going to try her luck to see if the carpenter's family would lend her a cart.
The carpenter's family is considered a relatively wealthy family in the village. With their craftsmanship, they will never starve to death in any era.
When Shen Jiaojiao arrived at the carpenter's house, she saw a group of children playing in the yard. An old man in his fifties or sixties was sawing wood with a saw. The sound of "pricking, pricking, pricking" made people's scalp numb.
Xue Ning walked in and said hello politely, "Hello uncle, is this a carpenter's house?"
Carpenter Liu raised his head and saw a pretty girl standing at the door of the courtyard.
The girl has a fair face and is a good seedling that cannot be grown in the soil of the village.
Carpenter Liu stopped what he was doing, patted the sawdust on his body, smiled at Xue Ning and nodded, "What do you want?"
At this time, Carpenter Liu's daughter-in-law heard the noise in the kitchen and came out, wanting to see what this cute little girl was doing in their house.
Xue Ning took two steps forward and explained the purpose of his visit, "I want you to help me build a set of furniture."
Originally, she came here to borrow a pallet truck, but when she arrived, she thought she might as well just knock out the furniture. She wouldn't be able to go back to the countryside for a while anyway, so she couldn't live with nothing at home, so she couldn't be wronged!
She is not afraid of wasting it. If she leaves in the future, she can move the furniture to Muchenghe's house.
Think this way and take action.
Mother Liu found a stool for Xue Ning to sit on, and Carpenter Liu also sat in front of Xue Ning, confirming with her what furniture to build.
"I want a table, four benches and two low stools, and finally a three-door wardrobe."
These pieces of furniture are all for daily use.
Carpenter Liu said no problem and started to calculate the cost for Xue Ning, "These things cost eight yuan in total and you have to wait 20 days. If you need it urgently, I can expedite it for you."
Xue Ning waved his hand, "No hurry, no rush, I'm not in a hurry to use it now, just follow the normal schedule."
Xue Ning felt in his pocket but couldn't find any money. He apologized, "I was in a hurry and didn't bring the money with me. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Carpenter Liu was an honest man and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Just bring it if you remember it. I'm not in a hurry."
After just a short period of contact, Xue Ning fell in love with Carpenter Liu's family and thought they were very nice people!
After the furniture deal was settled, Xue Ning started talking about business, "Uncle Liu, do you want your cart to be used tomorrow? I would like to borrow a day to go up the mountain to collect firewood."
"No, just take it and use it."
Xue Ning didn't expect it to go so smoothly. The trolley is considered a rarity in the village, so why did you borrow it?
Xue Ning was really grateful.
The children at home were very curious about Xue Ning's arrival, and they all came to Xue Ning one after another, staring at her with their big dark eyes.
Xue Ning didn’t bring any money with her, but she did bring candy!
He took out a handful of candies and distributed them to the children one by one, "Please have some candies."
The little ones' eyes lit up. After receiving the candy, their mouths were sweet, "Thank you, sister, sister is so beautiful."
One of the three or four-year-old girls had a runny nose and was still staring at Xue Ning unblinkingly.
Xue Ning touched her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Sanya sniffed and asked, "Is my sister a little fairy? My mother said that the little fairy is very beautiful. Sister, you look good."
Before Xue Ning could say anything, Mother Liu came over helplessly and picked up Sanya, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Where did the fairy come from? There are no fairies in the world, so don't talk nonsense."
Then he looked at Xue Ning apologetically, "Children talk a lot, don't mind!"
Xue Ning shook his head, "It's okay, then I'll leave first while you guys are busy."
"Hey, okay, the cart is at the door. You can take it away yourself!" Mother Liu pointed to the door.
"good."
Xue Ning actually lent the cart.
After they left, Liu's mother put Sanya on the ground and let her play by herself. She approached Liu Carpenter mysteriously and whispered, "I think this girl is beautiful and has a good temper. Do you think our third child can do it?"
Not worthy of her."
Carpenter Liu rolled his eyes and wanted to scold his wife Gua, "Come on, a toad can't eat swan meat, so don't even think about it."
Mother Liu was so angry that her heart ached and she was speechless, "The third child is your biological son and you actually call him a toad. He is a toad and you are the old toad."
Carpenter Liu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of toad it is, any toad that can lay eggs is a good toad."
Mother Liu pinched Carpenter Liu and stopped talking to him.
I went back to the kitchen and continued cooking.
I just think that if Xue Ning can be her daughter-in-law, then she will really laugh out of her dreams. I like the group favorite of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the rough man's heart tremble, please collect it: (https://www.xbiquge.site) The era
