Rebirth of a Village Girl

The medium rare steak was eaten by Ni Yan himself.

Considering that Ni Cuihua might not be used to eating steak for the first time, Ni Yan ordered her a medium rare.

Medium rare?

When the waiter heard this sentence, his eyes were filled with contempt.

Where did the country bumpkins come from? They were dressed in bright and shiny clothes, but this layer of shiny skin could not hide the poor aura of the lower class in them.

"I'm sorry, comrades, we don't have medium-rare steaks in our restaurant." The waiter's eyes were filled with impatience.

She has been working here for more than a year and has yet to see a few customers order medium-rare steaks.

Even medium rare is good.

The best taste for steak is three years old.

"How come it's not medium rare?" Ni Yan raised his eyes slightly, his eyes filled with sparkle and a somewhat captivating aura.

The waiter actually felt a bit oppressive from the leader.

Is it an illusion?

This little girl obviously looks a few years younger than her.

The waiter said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Customers who come to our restaurant to eat steak start with a minimum of six-rare. Sorry, we really don't have eight-rare steaks."

Ni Yan didn't want to embarrass her, and said warmly: "Then please help me tell your head chef to make my mother's steak medium rare. She is not used to medium rare steak."

"Sorry," the waiter said apologetically, but there was no sign of apology on his face. "We can't cook the steak medium rare."

Ni Yan put down the menu, frowned slightly and said: "You haven't told me yet, how do you know that the back kitchen can't cook it? Is it possible that the steaks in your restaurant are not processed in the back kitchen?"

"It's processed in the kitchen."

Ni Yan said: "Then ask the steak chef to help my mother fry the steak until it is medium rare."

"Sorry, I can't do it." The waiter said the same thing.

This is a Western restaurant, and people with no academic qualifications and no English can't really get in.

Although she is just a waiter, her salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers.

The waiter really didn't take Ni Cuihua and Ni Yan seriously.

Just two country bumpkins.

Ni Yan frowned slightly, "Rules are dead, people are alive. Is it difficult for you to say hello to the chef? In your position, do your job, and fulfill your responsibilities, have you forgotten your job? Is it your duty?”

"If you two comrades don't want to eat, the door is over there." She doesn't want to wait for you whether you want to eat or not!

Ni Yan smiled faintly, not wanting to meet her in the same way, but said: "I want to see your manager."

The commotion here has attracted the attention of other diners.

Everyone looked this way.

Medium-rare steak is indeed rare, and a girl as beautiful as this is even rarer.

They wanted to see how Ni Yan would solve this matter.

Hearing this, the waiter showed no fear at all on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment."

This is a Western restaurant.

Except for the waiters, all the leaders are from the F country, and none of them can speak Chinese. They only speak French.

Ni Yan wants to file a complaint?

Does she speak French?

Judging from her appearance, she probably doesn't even recognize the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

Ni Yan calling the manager would only make her look embarrassed.

The waiter has seen too many Chinese people, because they don't know French, use their hands and feet to communicate with superior leaders, and look full of ugliness.

Thinking of this, the waiter's eyes were full of disdain.

After a while, a tall, blond man with blue eyes followed the waiter.

"Hello." The manager bowed respectfully and spoke in pure French.

When they saw the blond restaurant manager, everyone looked like they were watching a show.

He is from F country.

Now the little girl is afraid that she will fall into trouble.

Young people are just too impulsive. They always want to see the manager and leave if they can't cook a medium-rare steak.

He had to make things so embarrassing.

Ni Yan didn't expect that the person coming was a countryman from F. He was unprepared and was stunned for a moment.

The disdain in the eyes of the waiter next to her became even more obvious. She immediately answered: "Manager, it's like this. This customer is acting recklessly and wants to eat the King's meal..." She relied on Ni Yan and the surrounding people. The customers didn't speak French, so they confused right and wrong, and described Ni Yan as a tricky customer who came to the door to have a meal deliberately looking for trouble.

Beside, a middle-aged man elegantly cut the steak and said to the young man opposite: "Xiao Xu, go help that lesbian."

They were all Chinese, and he really couldn't see his compatriots bullying his compatriots like this!

Because he can speak a few words in French, he doesn't even know his last name.

"Okay dad." The young man nodded, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, got up and walked towards Ni Yan.

This young man was none other than Shangguan Xu, who had crossed paths with Ni Yan several times.

Ni Yan helped him last time, and it just so happened that he could return it this time.

At this moment, a fluent French voice came in the air. It was very mellow and the pronunciation was very standard. It was like the breeze in April in the world, and it was extremely pleasant.

Shangguan Xu raised his eyes and looked up.

I saw that the man's body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, which was extremely dazzling.

This time, not only Shangguan Xu was stunned, but also the surrounding diners were stunned.

This little girl is so awesome!

Although they can't understand French, they can feel it.

This feeling is shocking!

"That's probably what happened. Can't your restaurant cook medium-rare steaks?" Ni Yan's tone was light, but filled with a sense of intimidation.

The waiter next to him turned pale.

She couldn't believe it.

Such fluent French would come from the mouth of a country bumpkin.

how so?

Ni Yan can speak French, so who is she?

A joke?

After hearing what happened, the restaurant manager bent down and said respectfully: "This beautiful lady, I am very sorry for bringing you an unpleasant dining experience! I will arrange for the chef to prepare steak for you. . Customers are our bread and butter. Don’t ask for medium-rare steak, even if you want well-done steak, we will do it according to your order.”

"Also, if you order today, we will give you all your orders for free."

The attitude of the restaurant manager can be said to be very sincere. Ni Yan continued: "No need to order for free. Just help me make one of the steaks medium rare."

Ni Yan is not the kind of person who takes advantage. What she wants is an attitude and results.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After finishing his words, the restaurant manager turned to look at the waiter, "You, you don't have to work here from now on."

"Manager, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it next time." The waiter was covered in cold sweat.

How could she lose this job?

The monthly salary here is 100 yuan a month! Where can she go to work and earn 100 yuan a month?

The waiter was busy apologizing to Ni Yan again, "Comrades, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it, please forgive me! Please give me a chance, I really don't want to lose this job."

Ni Yan smiled faintly, "Sorry, I'm just a diner. Whether I continue to employ you depends on your superiors, and I can't help you."

If it were someone who didn't speak French today, I'd probably be at a disadvantage.

Ni Yan is not the Holy Mother. With her, there is only repaying kindness with kindness and resentment with hatred, but there is no repaying kindness with kindness!

People always have to pay the price for their words and deeds.

Hearing this, the waiter's mind went blank, and he was 'invited' out of the restaurant with staggering steps.

Shangguan Xu returned to his seat, but the shock on his face did not completely fade away.

how to say......

He really didn't expect that Ni Yan could speak French and speak it so well.

Shangguan Xu's father, Shangguan Dehui, also had a look of admiration in his eyes.

This little girl is indeed a rare talent!

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance!

It can be seen that there are really talented and beautiful people in the world.

Ni Cuihua looked at Ni Yan in surprise, with a look of astonishment on her face. She never knew that Ni Yan could speak in languages ​​from other countries.

"Yanyan, you just..."

Ni Yan reached out and shook Ni Cuihua's hand, "Mom, what I just said was French. Do you still remember the educated youth named An Gui in our village?"

"I know." Ni Cuihua nodded.

Ni Yan continued: "My French was taught by An Gui."

There was indeed an educated youth named An Gui in Shuiba Village before, and she did teach Ni Yan a few simple French words, so there was nothing wrong with Ni Yan's words.

"Oh, so that's it." Ni Cuihua's eyes showed such a look.

Ni Yan nodded.

After a while, all the dishes were served.

Ni Yan picked up pure milk and gave it to little Ni Yun to drink.

Seeing the milk, little Ni Yun laughed happily.

Facing the exquisite Western food, Ni Cuihua seemed a little at a loss what to do.

"Yanyan, why don't you have chopsticks?"

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Mom, this is Western food. Western food is eaten with a knife and fork. Look at me, like this, with a fork in my left hand and a knife in my right hand..." Ni Yan said, On one side, he elegantly cut the short steak, picked it up with a fork, and put it in his mouth.

"Wait!" Ni Cuihua said in surprise.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ni Yan looked at Ni Cuihua with some confusion.

"Yanyan, this meat is not cooked yet, and it's still bloody! Let them take it away quickly and put it back in the pot to heat it up!"

Ni Yan smiled slightly and continued: "Medium rare steak is like this, tender, juicy and very delicious."

Ni Cuihua said somewhat incomprehensibly: "How can you eat beef that is not cooked yet! What if you get sick, like mad cow disease?"

Ni Yan said: "Mom, those are all wrong ideas of yours. In fact, medium-rare steak is not only edible, but its taste and nutritional value are much better than fully cooked beef. Just like the durian last night, look It doesn’t taste good, but it actually tastes great! ”

Ni Cuihua frowned slightly, "Really?"

Ni Yan continued: "Why are you lying to me? Mom, please try the steak on your plate first."

Ni Cuihua hesitated.

No matter what, she still couldn't accept raw meat.

There's still blood!

Just looking at it makes me panic.

Ni Yan said: "Mom, don't worry, what I ordered for you is medium rare, it won't be bloody."

Hearing this, Ni Cuihua felt relieved, picked up the knife and fork, and started cutting the steak like Ni Yan did.

It was quite simple when watching Ni Yan cut, but when it came to Ni Cuihua, it was like the knives had become dull.

Ni Yan stood up with a smile, walked to Ni Cuihua, leaned forward slightly, and taught her how to use a knife and fork, "Mom, you are like this, you are like this."

In just a few moments, a whole piece of steak can be cut into beautiful little pieces.

Ni Cuihua picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.

The beef is sprinkled with lemon juice and black pepper. It doesn't taste fishy and is neither old nor bad. It does taste much better than sauced beef and braised beef.

Ni Yan even gave a piece of beef on her plate to Ni Cuihua, "Mom, you are trying this medium rare."

Ni Cuihua took it hesitantly, put it in her mouth with her eyes closed, and chewed it slowly.

smell......

It doesn't seem to be as bad as imagined.

Just like Ni Yan said, the taste is very good, tender and juicy, and it is very bouncy when you take a bite.

Although the taste is great, Ni Cuihua still prefers medium rare.

Let her eat raw meat, which is a bit difficult for her to overcome psychologically.

Seeing Ni Cuihua like this, Ni Yan didn't force her, and then taught Ni Cuihua how to eat snails.

In Western food, eating snails is also very particular.

For example, if ordinary people eat snails, they can eat the meat with just a 'shu', but for eating snails, special tools are required.

Looking at the six large snails on the plate, Ni Cuihua said in surprise: "Yanyan, why is this snail white?"

It’s not that Ni Cuihua has never seen a snail.

But this snail was really too big and very different from the snails in the fields, so she recognized it as a field snail.

Ni Yan explained: "Mom, this is a snail."

Hearing this, Ni Cuihua couldn't calm down anymore!

"Niuniu'er?!"

Niuniuer is the dialect of Haicheng City and also means snail.

Ni Yan nodded, "It's a cow, but don't worry, Mom, this snail is different from the wild snail. This is an edible snail, and its English name is helix, pomatia."

"Can cows and cows be eaten?" Ni Cuihua expressed doubts, "This foreigner is too strange! Just eat things that others don't eat!"

Forget about eating raw meat with blood, now even cows and cows are included!

very scary.

Ni Yan picked out a piece of snail meat with familiarity and handed it to Ni Cuihua, "Mom, you can try it."

Ni Cuihua refused repeatedly, "No, no, no..."

In the countryside, cows and cows don't even eat ducks.

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Mom, do you know how much one snail costs? If you don't eat it, I can't eat six of them by myself."

"How much?"

Ni Yan said: "28 yuan each."

"What? 28 yuan each?" Ni Cuihua's eyes were full of disbelief.

Ni Yan nodded.

"Then doesn't this plate cost 168 yuan?"

Ni Yan continued to nod.

Last time I ate at a state-owned hotel, it only cost 158 ​​yuan. This time, a plate of snail meat cost 168 yuan. This is too expensive!

Ni Cuihua then took the snail meat, closed her eyes and ate it.

While eating, Ni Cuihua suddenly discovered that expensive food indeed has its value.

This foreign giant snail is much more delicious than snail meat!

Eating French escargot, rich cappuccino, and the elegant violin sound lingering in his ears, Ni Yan felt more relaxed than ever before.

When the pizza was delivered, Ni Cuihua thought it was a big pie.

Ni Yan smiled and explained to her that this was pizza.

Ni Cuihua repeatedly lamented that she has long hair and short knowledge.

Ni Yan said: "Mom, Western food has just entered the country, and there are only two in the capital. It's normal for you not to know, and you know that this kind of thing grows slowly. How can you become fat after eating it in one go? "

Beijing not only has Western food, but also Japanese food.

Ni Yan thought that when he came to the city, he must take Ni Cuihua to eat Japanese food.

After eating and coming out of the restaurant, Ni Yan happened to see an advertisement for the cinema.

The four characters "Shaolin Boy" are displayed on the large advertising paper.

"Mom, let's go watch a movie." Ni Yan turned to look at Ni Cuihua.

Ni Cuihua subconsciously refused: "It's getting late, let's go home."

Ni Yan took Ni Cuihua's arm and said, "Go, go, Mom, a movie ticket only costs 30 cents."

For the former Ni Cuihua, 3 cents was a lot of money, and could even be called a huge sum of money! ’

But for Ni Cuihua now, it doesn't matter at all. After all, they just had a plate of French snails worth 168 yuan!

"Okay, let's go." Ni Cuihua said with a smile.

Ni Yan went to buy two movie tickets.

The cinema is large, and there are not many viewers inside, half of whom are couples.

Little Ni Yun is very sensible. He didn't even hum while watching the movie. He looked at the big screen attentively as if he knew how to understand.

The shooting location of Shaolin Boy was in Guilin, and the scenery was very beautiful. Seeing the scene of the pig cage immersion, Ni Cuihua couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, only the plot of soaking in the pig cage is more sensational, while the other plots are relatively relaxed and humorous.

Watching a movie makes people feel relaxed physically and mentally.

After watching the movie, Ni Yan took Ni Cuihua to the flower market and bought some peach, apple, pear and other saplings.

When passing a funeral supplies store, Ni Cuihua said: "Yanyan, hold Yunyun and wait outside."

"Okay." Ni Yan nodded and reached out to take the little Ni Yun.

Ni Cuihua turned around and walked towards the funeral supplies store. When she came out again, she already had a big bag in her hand.

After returning home, Ni Cuihua opened the bag.

I saw some gold ingots and paper money inside, as well as five ethereal places.

Ni Cuihua continued: "Yanyan, the Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming soon. Let's set up a memorial tablet for your grandparents, as well as the three younger sisters, and burn some more paper money for them on the Tomb-Sweeping Day."

Although Ni Cuihua already knew that she was an abandoned baby, she was still raised by her adoptive parents.

It is also appropriate to establish a spiritual throne.

This was the first time Ni Cuihua talked to Ni Yan about the three abandoned sisters. Ni Yan continued: "Mom, are you sure that all my three sisters are gone?"

Although in rural areas, it is difficult for abandoned babies to survive in the wilderness, but not all are lost.

Ni Yan was young at that time and was not sensible at all. She didn't know where the three sisters were thrown.

If he hadn't been thrown away in the back of the mountain, he might still be alive.

Ni Cuihua's eyes turned red instantly, and she choked and said: "After the second, third, and fourth children were thrown away, I secretly went to the back mountain to look for them, but I searched all over the back mountain and couldn't find them. There were so many wolves in the back mountain. ....”

Those were three miserable children living with this useless mother like her.

Originally, Ni Cuihua only secretly hid in bed and cried in the dead of night, but today she really couldn't help it.

As a mother, every time she thinks of those three miserable children, she feels unbearable pain.

That's all the meat that fell from her body...

Ni Yan continued: "Maybe they weren't thrown into the mountains at all. Mom, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe my three sisters are still alive!"

alive?

When she heard these words, Ni Cuihua seemed to see redemption.

Are you really alive?

she does not know......

Ni Cuihua said: "If you are still talking, your second sister is already 17 years old this year, your third sister is 16 years old, and the youngest of your fourth sister is just 12 years old this year..." Ni Cuihua clearly remembers the birth date of each of them. day.

She only hated herself for being too cowardly and failing to protect her child.

Let them be born as unwanted children.

Ni Yan said: "Mom, don't be sad. The three sisters are lucky and will be fine. Maybe we can find them in the future!"

Ni Cuihua wiped her tears, "I no longer expect to find them. I just hope that each of them can live well in this world."

"Mom, don't worry, the three sisters are definitely still alive. They are all alive and well." Ni Yan reached out and hugged Ni Cuihua.

Ni Cuihua burst into tears.

It started to rain lightly on Qingming Festival.

The weather is a little cooler.

This situation and scene also correspond to the poem: Rain falls heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die.

Ni Yan took out the coat from the cabinet and put it on again, and followed Ni Cuihua outside to burn the paper money.

Because she felt that the three children were still alive, Ni Cuihua did not prepare the memorial tablets for them. She only provided the memorial tablets for her adoptive parents.

Time passes day by day.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The two shops in the city have been decorated and are waiting for Ni Yan to choose a date to open.

Ni Yan set the date on the sixth day of May.

There are only five days left until the opening.

When a new store opens, it will definitely have to find new employees. According to the standard of three people per store, Ni Yan still has to recruit 6 more people.

Of course Ni Yan still had to find these six people in the village.

Ni Yan paid well, and the women in the village were very willing to help Ni Yan.

New employees must be familiar with the working environment in advance, so Ni Yan took them to the milk tea shop and noodle shop to help them the next day.

After working for three days, these six people were familiar with the work process, and Ni Yan took them to the new store to prepare for the opening of the new store.

These six people are named Liu Chunfen, Zhao Hui, Liu Cui, Wang Ruyu, Sun Xiaoyu, and Wang Dongzhi. They are all honest people and are very grateful to Ni Yan, so they are very relieved to leave Ni Yan's store to them.

On the day before the opening, Ni Yan specially bought some braised pork for everyone to take home.

Everyone went home with the meat, and Ni Yan stayed in the store to check some details.

"Yanyan, is your shop really opening the day after tomorrow?" Zhou Xiaolian, the proprietress of the shop next door, came over to join in the fun.

Ni Yan is usually very enthusiastic and knows how to behave. During the renovation period, she was afraid that the noise would affect the surrounding shops, so she specially sent some bread and milk tea to everyone. After this visit, everyone had a good impression of her.

Ni Yan nodded, "Yes, Auntie."

Zhou Xiaolian continued: "Yanyan, if you prepare so many noodles and milk tea, aren't you afraid that there won't be so many customers tomorrow? Don't blame Auntie for speaking badly, this shop is really evil!"

Ni Yan smiled and said: "Auntie, if I have this confidence, I can definitely sell it."

Anyway, Ni Yan doesn't believe in these feng shui issues.

If it was really a feng shui problem, wouldn't all the shops in this row have to close down?

But she saw that other businesses were doing pretty well.

What's more, Ni Yan also did a three-day promotion in the old store.

Ni Yan is not worried about business problems at all.

After all, the noodle shop and milk tea shop have been taking root in the city for half a year, and have already gained quite a reputation in the catering industry.

Now there are several imitators in the city, but the taste is not as good as Ni Yan’s.

So everyone is willing to come to Ni Yan’s place to eat.

Zhou Xiaolian glanced at Ni Yan and said, "Yanyan, you are still too young! You still have to believe some things! Why don't you buy something and burn it in front of the store to drive away evil spirits? Otherwise, I'm really worried..."

If it weren't for the feng shui problems of these two shops, how could it be possible that three shops in a row closed down?

"Auntie," Ni Yan continued, "I have received your kindness. I will consider it when I get home."

Zhou Xiaolian continued: "Yanyan, you will have no business by then, don't blame aunt for not reminding you." At this point, Zhou Xiaolian changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Yanyan, the person who came with you last time Is it your mother? The one who is still holding the child."

"It's my mother." Ni Yan nodded.

Zhou Xiaolian considered her words in her mind, "Yanyan, what Auntie says next may be a bit abrupt. Don't be offended after I say it."

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Xiaolian hesitated.

Ni Yan poured a glass of water for Zhou Xiaolian, "How about we sit down and talk?"

Zhou Xiaolian took a sip of water and sat face to face with Ni Yan at the dining table. She felt that she was no longer so nervous, and then said: "I heard that your mother got divorced and is single now, right?"

Ni Yan's expression changed. Zhou Xiaolian was afraid that Ni Yan would misunderstand something, so she immediately said: "Yanyan, don't worry, Auntie has no other intentions. Auntie just looks at your mother at such a young age. It's a pity to be a widow. Now society is different." Yes, there are many women remarrying.”

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

Zhou Xiaolian drank more than half a glass of water, "Yanyan, let me tell you the truth. I have a brother from my mother's side who is also single. My poor sister-in-law died in childbirth. For so many years, my brother has been alone. , so I thought..."

This time Ni Yan understood.

Zhou Xiaolian is here to act as matchmaker for Ni Cuihua.

After finishing her words, Zhou Xiaolian continued: "Yanyan, you are a sensible child. You shouldn't mind if your mother finds another partner, right? In fact, it's better to find another partner. If you find another partner, you will have more people to love you in the future, right?" ? My natal brother is good-looking and has good character. He is currently the manager of a state-owned hotel. If this happens, he will definitely treat you and your sister as his biological daughters. "

Zhou Xiaolian saw Ni Cuihua last time.

Although she has given birth to two children, Ni Cuihua has a beautiful face and her actual age cannot be seen at all. She is extremely beautiful.

Although the Ni family is said to have a bad background and is a self-employed businessman who cannot gain publicity, the two shops opened by Ni Yan are both profitable! If Ni Cuihua marries her brother in the future, these things will become their Zhou family's.

Therefore, Ni Cuihua is still barely worthy of her brother.

Not only is her brother good-looking, but he also works in a state-owned enterprise. I don’t know how many young ladies want to marry him! Ni Cuihua is also lucky to be able to fall in love with Ni Cuihua!

Ni Yan said: "Aunt Zhou, I can't let my mother make the decision on this kind of thing. It depends on what she thinks."

Zhou Xiaolian said with a smile: "As long as you don't object to your mother finding a partner, then auntie will be relieved. How about you choose a day for my brother from my mother's side to meet your mother? It's just a meeting anyway, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. It doesn’t affect anything.”

Ni Yan continued: "Auntie, I have to go back and ask my mother about this. If she agrees, then I have no objection."

"Okay, okay," Zhou Xiaolian stood up with a smile, "Then it's settled, Yanyan, you must tell your mother when you go back. It's not easy for a woman to take two children outside. There is no responsible man at home. You will be bullied in the village! When the matter between your mother and my brother is settled, you will move from the countryside to my brother's small house in the city. By then, we will be a family! My aunt is here!"

Zhou Xiaolian was already enjoying herself even before she even wrote the eight characters.

Because she felt that Ni Cuihua was marrying her brother at a high level. After all, Ni Cuihua had no academic qualifications and had two procrastinators, and her brother not only graduated from junior high school, but was also a manager. Only a fool would disagree!

Zhou Xiaolian's words were full of superiority, which made Ni Yan sound very uncomfortable.

Ni Cuihua hasn't even married yet, but Zhou Xiaolian is already like this. If she really does get married, her life in the future will probably not be easy.

Not only does Ni Yan not object to Ni Cuihua finding a new partner, but she hopes that Ni Cuihua will be happy more than anyone else.

The prerequisite for a happy marriage is mutual respect. Obviously, Zhou Xiaolian's brother cannot give such respect.

Ni Yan frowned without leaving a trace, "Auntie, you are too worried. The people in our village are very united and kind, and they also take great care of our family. No one will bully us there."

Zhou Xiaolian said very vigilantly: "Yanyan, you have to pay attention, these are not relatives, they are so good to you, they must have some agenda!"

How could they be so nice to Ni Yan and her mother for no reason?

After all, Ni Yan's noodle shop and milk tea shop also made a lot of money.

Ni Yan smiled lightly, "Auntie, you don't need to remind me, I can tell the difference between good and bad."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolian was a little unhappy.

She felt that Ni Yan was a little ungrateful.

She kindly reminded Ni Yan, but Ni Yan had this attitude.

If she hadn't seen that the money was about to become her brother's, she wouldn't have kindly reminded him.

Forget it!

What do you care about with a junior?

Ni Yan may just be unintentional.

The smile on Zhou Xiaolian's face did not change, and she continued: "Yanyan, then this matter is settled. You must tell your mother when you go back. Auntie will go back first."

Ni Yan stood up and said goodbye, "Auntie, walk slowly."

After leaving the noodle shop, Ni Yan went to the vegetable market.

"elder sister."

This time, Ni Yan met the little girl selling flowers more than half a month ago.

We haven't seen her for half a month, and the little girl has hardly changed. She hasn't even changed her clothes. Her little face is dirty, but her big eyes are clear.

"Sister, do you want to buy flowers today?"

Ni Yan knelt down and looked straight at her, "Little sister, how old are you this year?"

"Twelve years old." Qian Zhaodi replied.

Twelve.

Somehow, Ni Yan suddenly remembered the abandoned fourth sister.

If the fourth sister were still alive, she would be twelve years old this year.

Ni Yan continued: "Where are your parents?"

Qian Zhaodi said: "They are all at home."

"Then do you have any other sisters?"

Qian Zhaodi shook her head, "I don't have any sisters, I only have one brother."

Ni Yan asked again: "Does your brother also sell flowers?"

"No." Qian Zhaodi continued to shake her head, "My parents like my brother very much. They often beat me. If I can't sell flowers, they will beat me to death. Sister, please buy one, please." Already..."

Looking at Qian Zhaodi, Ni Yan suddenly had the urge to cry, and his nose was sore.

Because she knows too well the feeling of powerlessness that comes from being born in a family that values ​​boys over girls.

She suffered from it in her previous life, including her sisters in this life.

"How many more flowers do you have? My sister bought them all."

"Really?" Qian Zhaodi's eyes lit up.

"Um."

Qian Zhaodi continued: "Sister, I still have 30 flowers left."

Ni Yan took out five yuan and handed it to Qian Zhaodi, "Here's five yuan. There's no need to change it. You can wait for me here every night from now on."

"Then sister, will you buy me flowers every night?"

Ni Yan nodded and continued: "What's going on with your face?"

Qian Zhaodi said nonchalantly: "My brother scalded it with boiling water."
