Chapter 6

He Wanjiao took Xu Ning to watch TV in the outer room for a while, and they didn’t go to wash up and go to bed until after eight o’clock.

Lying in bed, Xu Ning couldn’t sleep. She could feel her body getting tired, but she couldn’t fall asleep even when she closed her eyes. Counting sheep to clear her mind didn’t work, and adjusting her sleeping position didn’t help either.

Jiaojiao was young and carefree, and her breathing became heavy not long after she lay down.

Unable to sleep, Xu Ning opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him. The bed was quite big and soft, but she felt it was not as comfortable as the small single bed in her dormitory.

Is she dead, or has she swapped bodies with her original owner? If she died, would her parents come to collect her body?

Should be, right? After all, there is an old house left by her grandmother under her name, and they have long wanted to take it away.

Will they be sad? ···Xu Ning didn’t know, maybe to them it was just the loss of an insignificant person.

Remembering that she was in the bathroom before she crossed into the book, Xu Ning hoped that they had swapped bodies. Dying in the bathroom would be quite socially dead.

I originally wanted to make some quick money in the entertainment industry. It’s okay if I don’t make it in, but I just want to avoid being in the social entertainment news.

My mind is a mess, but I can’t seem to say what I’m thinking about specifically.

Xu Ning wanted to sleep, but Zhou Gong didn’t want to date her.

Open your eyes and look, then close them and force yourself to sleep. If you can’t sleep, open your eyes again and look, then close them again and force yourself to sleep…

Over and over again, she seemed to hear the sound of a rooster crowing, but Zhou Gong never came.

Today is Monday and He Wanjiao is going to school. The alarm rang at around six o’clock. She got up in a daze and turned on the light. After turning on the light, she was a little dazed when she saw the person sitting next to her. She blinked blankly, and then remembered that this was her sister-in-law.

The voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up in the morning: “Sister-in-law, you woke up so early?”

If the alarm hadn’t rung, He Wanjiao would have been able to sleep until noon. Going to school is so tiring!

Xu Ning didn’t mention that she didn’t sleep all night, and made up a lie to coax the child: “Well, I usually have to get up early to work at home. It’s become a habit.”

It’s not a lie. The original owner did get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, and work more than a cow.

Tsk~, just like a cheap labor force.

No, it’s free labor.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, He Wanjiao’s chubby little face wrinkled, “Sister-in-law, you sleep a little longer. You can sleep whenever you want in the future.”

Xu Ning wanted to, but she couldn’t sleep~

“I’m not going to sleep anymore.” Xu Ning raised her hand and picked up clothes from the chair beside the bed to put on. She couldn’t fall asleep, so she might as well get up and leave a good impression on her mother-in-law.

You don’t have to do the work, but you have to show up.

Having worked so many part-time jobs, she has developed her own way of slacking off.

My sister-in-law has already started to get dressed, and He Wanjiao didn’t persuade her anymore. After a long time, my sister-in-law will feel the difference between their home and her previous home.

Xu Ning was the first to wash up and come out of the house. He stood in the yard and stretched his limbs, then took a long breath. The air was so good.

Just after I finished sighing about how good the air was, I started yawning one after another. After the yawn, her eyes were filled with physiological tears, which fell from her eyes as she blinked.

There were sounds coming from the kitchen, and it sounded like someone was cooking. Xu Ning wiped the water marks on her face with her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

A white coarse cloth curtain was hung on the door, and one could see clearly what was going on inside by standing at the kitchen door. After seeing that the person cooking was not Hu Xianglan, Xu Ning swallowed back his words of greeting.

He Beian got up so early to make breakfast?

What about her mother-in-law? The door of her room is still closed. Could she not have woken up yet?

Finished, got up early~

It doesn’t seem appropriate to just stand at the kitchen door like this, why don’t we go back?

The problem is that the room belongs to Jiaojiao. It is not good to stay in her room when others are not there, and I can’t fall asleep lying on the bed…

How about saying hello? If nothing unexpected happens, we should spend more time together in the future, and it would be best if the relationship is harmonious.

Deciding to say hello, Xu Ning walked into the kitchen, where He Beian was cooking behind the stove. He placed a rag under the handle of the iron pot and held the handle with one hand to stir the spoon. The heavy iron pot seemed weightless in his hand and the food in the pot flew up and down with his movements.

He was not wearing a coat, and the sleeves of his thin black shirt were lifted up, revealing a small section of his strong light brown forearms. The muscles on his arms bulged slightly when he was flipping the spoon.

Remembering that he had hearing impairment in one ear, Xu Ning wanted to move closer to say hello, but when she saw the bulging muscles in his arms, she silently took two steps back.

She has an uncontrollable fear towards tall and strong boys. It’s not that she thinks they are all bad people. Even when she knows that the other person is a good person, she will subconsciously reject and guard against him.

Perhaps it was the shadow left by her tall and strong biological father.

Xu Ning stood three steps away from He Beian and spoke. Knowing his situation, she raised her voice a little: “You got up really early. Is there anything I can help you with?”

The person who was cooking stopped what he was doing, looked back at her, and without saying a word, turned back to take the food out of the wok.

Although he didn’t say anything, Xu Ning seemed to understand what was expressed in his eyes, “What did you say?” ‘

It seems you didn’t hear it? Do you want to ask it again out loud?

Before Xu Ning could say anything, He Wanjiao’s voice rang out from the courtyard: “Brother, is the meal ready?”

“Okay.” He Beian responded casually, turned around to serve the dishes and put them on the small dining table, then returned to the stove and scooped porridge from another pot.

Two bowls of porridge were soon placed on the table, along with two steamed eggs and two steamed buns.

Xu Ning watched him busying himself, and even moved to the side to avoid getting in the way.

What we mean is that he couldn’t hear her talking when she was standing three steps away, but he could hear Jiaojiao shouting in the yard. Whose problem is it?

Is it because she speaks softly? Or is the cooking noise too loud?

It couldn’t be that He Beian was deliberately ignoring her, right?

After setting the breakfast, He Beian turned around and looked at Xu Ning who was standing still, and whispered to her: “Eat.”

“Oh, thank you.” Xu Ning came to his senses and saw that there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. He walked to the stove consciously to scoop rice for himself.

When she scooped the porridge and turned around, there was no one in the kitchen. After he left, Xu Ning felt at ease instead. She took a pair of chopsticks and sat down at the table waiting for someone.

He Wanjiao hesitated for a moment while finishing her homework today, so she had to shorten her meal time. She trotted into the kitchen, sat down at the dining table, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and ate quickly.

After seeing three bowls of porridge on the table, he asked curiously, “Brother, don’t you know that mom hasn’t woken up yet? Why are you scooping three bowls of porridge?”

So He Beian is not eating at home? There are two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, but one of them is hers? Xu Ning looked at the unused bowl and chopsticks and told He Wanjiao the truth: “I scooped another bowl. Isn’t your brother home for dinner?”

Putting an egg in front of her sister-in-law, He Wanjiao peeled the egg and answered, “No, he goes to the factory to eat. Mom can’t get up in the morning, so brother will make breakfast when he is free.”

Xu Ning nodded, and all that echoed in her ears was the words “Mom can’t get up in the morning.”

Very good, now she has a mother-in-law who likes to sleep in, so her mother-in-law should not have any objection when she sleeps in.

Time was running out. After finishing her meal, He Wanjiao threw her schoolbag over her shoulders and ran out, waving at Xu Ning, “Sister-in-law, I’m going to school~”

Xu Ning stood up and walked out of the kitchen. He Wanjiao had already run out the door. She only had time to see the profile of the young man standing at the door waiting for someone.

He should be He Wanjiao’s childhood sweetheart, right?

She didn’t know the story between the hero and heroine, she only knew they were childhood sweethearts and their names, and that they became very rich several years later.

Xu Ning, who was poor in his previous life and even poorer in this life, sighed, turned around and walked back to the kitchen to continue eating.

How does the saying go? If the wind is right, even a pig can take off.

How could she not be better than a pig? She has lived two lifetimes. It’s time for the God of Wealth to favor her!

A plate of spicy stir-fried pickled vegetable shreds goes really well with rice. Green and red peppers are dotted on the not-so-salty pickled vegetable shreds. It goes perfectly with rice, steamed buns, or even eggs.

She also despised herself. It was just a plate of shredded pickles. It wasn’t necessary! It really isn’t the case! !

Didn’t she eat better than this in her previous life?

In self-contempt, Xu Ning ate a steamed bun, an egg, and two bowls of porridge…

After eating, she began to hypnotize herself again, thinking that the overeating was caused by being hungry for too long, and it was definitely not because she had never eaten such delicious pickles before.

People feel refreshed when they are happy. Usually, Hu Xianglan could sleep until eight o’clock, but today, she woke up at seven o’clock for the first time. When I was young, I used to get up early and go to bed late. Now that I’m finally retired, I can’t wait to make up for the sleep I missed when I was young.

When she entered the kitchen, Xu Ning was about to wash the dishes and had not scooped enough water yet, so she hurried over and snatched the gourd ladle from her hand.

Putting the water scoop aside, Hu Xianglan smiled and said to her, “I won’t tell you about other times, but you can’t work today. Today is the day you get your marriage certificate, and you’ll be the bride. Our family has a special situation, so you should get the certificate first, and then we can host a banquet.”

She didn’t mention the wedding banquet to He Beian last night, but she couldn’t tell Xu Ning about this. As long as they developed feelings for each other after they got married, they would have to bring it up even if she didn’t.

Xu Ning didn’t know that He Beian agreed to get the marriage certificate, and the surprise on her face turned into joy in an instant: “Really? If Brother Bei’an agrees…that’s great.”

Surprise is real, joy is fake…

Seeing how He Beian resisted yesterday, Xu Ning thought there would be a long-lasting tug-of-war. How come this conversation made him change his mind?

This didn’t follow the script.

Seeing her surprised look, Hu Xianglan was even happier. “He will be back to pick you up soon. You should prepare the marriage certificate and household registration materials. Don’t rush back after getting the certificate. You can hang out outside for a while.”

“I put the thing in the desk drawer in Jiaojiao’s room last night. I’ll go get it now.” After saying that, Xu Ning walked out of the kitchen somewhat embarrassedly, as if she was shy about the topic of getting a marriage certificate.

Last night she thought her future mother-in-law was talking nonsense about getting the marriage certificate tomorrow. She knew in her heart that He Beian would never agree to it. She thought that she didn’t need it for the time being, but was afraid of losing it, so she decided to put it in the drawer of Jiaojiao’s room.

It’s really a waste of time.
