Chapter 26

Qianlin shook his head: “Dad has gone out!”

Ning He breathed a sigh of relief, threw back the quilt and got out of bed: “Qianlin, go eat first, mom will change her clothes and go out.”

Qianlin nodded and walked out of the room obediently.

Ning He changed her clothes very quickly, and when she finished and went out, Qianlin had already finished his breakfast.

Qianlin turned around and called Ning He: “Mom, come and have some porridge. Dad brought it out this morning and it’s too cold.”

Ning He sat down. In front of him was a bowl of white glutinous rice porridge and a plate of fried eggs with soy sauce.

My stomach growled and my appetite was aroused.

The porridge was soft, sweet and fragrant, the eggs were fried golden and crispy, and dipped in soy sauce for a salty taste, which immediately whetted her appetite.

Ning He finished his breakfast quickly.

After breakfast, Ning He prepared to start work. He had agreed with the woman in the past two days that he would work hard to finish a few pieces of clothing today, and tomorrow Ning He would send all the clothes to the woman for selection.

Ning He sat in front of the sewing machine, making clothes seriously, while Qian Lin sat quietly beside Ning He, drawing patterns.

The two people have clear division of labor and are extremely efficient.

In just half a day, Ning He had already made five or six sets of clothes.

She stretched, stood up, folded the clothes and put them into the cloth bag.

Ninghe specially made an extra set of larger-size clothes, folded them, and asked Qianlin to go out with her.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Zhao Lan next door drying clothes in the yard.

When Zhao Lan saw Ning He coming out, she hurried forward and asked Ning He in a low voice across a low earth wall.

“What happened last night? Did you get him?” Zhao Lan winked at Ning He.

Ning He’s cheeks still felt hot when she recalled what happened last night.

Zhao Lan saw Ning He’s blushing cheeks and understood immediately. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly: “It’s fine as long as you get it. You’re already a mother, why are you still shy? He’s your man, this is a common thing between husband and wife!”

Ning He felt that Zhao Lan must have misunderstood.

But what happened last night is also hard to talk about. Although it didn’t really happen, it was almost the same.

Ning He quickly brushed aside the topic and then handed the large-sized clothes in her hand to Zhao Lan.

“Sister Zhao Lan, these are the clothes my fellow villager who runs a clothing store sent me. This set is a bit big, so it should be just right for Junzi. You can take it back and let Junzi wear it.”

Zhao Lan looked at the neatly folded clothes in Ning He’s hands and felt embarrassed.

She waved her hands: “How can I be so embarrassed? Last time you gave me candy and oil residue. I’ve already given you enough.”

Ning He smiled and stuffed the clothes into Zhao Lan’s arms: “Sister Zhao Lan, just accept it. It’s just a piece of clothing. It doesn’t cost much. Besides, you gave Qian Lin a lot of clothes before. I’m embarrassed!”

After hearing what Ning He said, Zhao Lan did not refuse and accepted it with pleasure.

She spread out the clothes, took a look, and her face was immediately filled with joy: “Oh, this dress is so beautiful! I look like a little master when I put it on!”

The pattern on this set of clothes was designed by Qianlin. I have to say that a three-year-old child has a rich and lively imagination.

On a simple white short-sleeved POLO shirt, three or four symmetrical lines of blue and gray are sewn on the left chest and right abdomen.

It elevates the whole outfit to a higher level.

The pants are grey lace-up sweatpants, and the whole style is both formal and homely.

It looks great whether worn outside or at home.

Ning He smiled and said, “Sister Zhao Lan, take it back and let Junzi try it on. I have something else to do and need to take Qianlin out.”

“Okay, then you go quickly. I’ll go back and let Junzi try it.” Zhao Lan walked into the house with the clothes in her hand, smiling.

Ning He went back to the house to get the cloth coupons and stock up on some more cloth to make clothes, and also to buy some vegetables.

The iron box containing the banknotes was in the cabinet in the room. Ning He opened the cabinet and saw five big unity banknotes on the iron box at a glance!

There was also a note.

Ning He opened the note and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the strong and powerful handwriting on it.

This handwriting is ten times more beautiful than what she wrote.

The note was left by He Shaochuan, and the general meaning of it was that the fifty yuan was for Ning He so that Ning He could buy some clothes for himself. It also thanked Ning He for the things he bought for him yesterday, and told him that he didn’t need to buy anything for him in the future.

After reading the note, Ning He raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

I really made another fifty dollars for nothing!

Ning He took two big unity tickets and went out with Qian Lin.

Just as she walked into the yard, Ning He noticed the men’s underwear hanging on the clothesline, which were still dripping with water.

“Linbao, did it rain last night?” Ning He looked at Qianlin and asked.

Qianlin shook his head: “No, the ground is dry.”

Ning He looked at the men’s underwear, then looked at the children’s underwear on the other side. Qianlin’s underwear was hanging dryly on the clothes rack, but only the men’s underwear was still dripping with water.

Since it’s not raining, then this pair of underwear was washed recently?

“Did your dad do the laundry this morning?” Ning He asked again.

Qianlin rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something.

“It seems to be true. When I was half asleep this morning, I heard the sound of water outside the yard. It must be Dad washing clothes!”

Ning He looked at the empty clothes rack, with only a pair of men’s underwear still dripping with water hanging on it.

This doesn’t seem right. Doing laundry so early in the morning? And only one pair of men’s underwear?

Ning He didn’t think any more about it. She had to hurry and buy the cloth. If she was late, all the nice cloth would have been picked up!

The big and the small soon ran to the department store again. This time, Ning He bought a lot of cloth in many colors and fabrics. In addition, she also bought paintbrushes and paper for Qianlin.

Ning He herself was born to study design, and she has some artistic talent. In Qianlin, she saw an innate talent.

Although Qianlin is only three years old, three years old is enough to start cultivating interests and hobbies. Children’s talents need to be discovered and cultivated. If adults do not pay attention to cultivating the talents, it is like treating gold as dirt. It will never shine and the value of gold cannot be reflected.

After coming out of the department store, Ning He bought some more vegetables and prepared to make some cold noodles for lunch.

After returning home, Qianlin sat quietly on a chair, holding the paintbrushes and notebooks he had just bought, and painted.

Ning He carried the vegetables into the kitchen. The weather was too hot and cooking became a torture.

Ning He scooped a bowl of flour, added salt, MSG and a little starch, stirred it for a while, brushed oil on an iron plate, poured the flour batter in and spread it flat, steamed it over high heat for three minutes, let it cool and cut into long strips.

Add the chopped cucumber and kelp, fried peanuts and bean sprouts into the cold skin, add a little chili, coriander, light soy sauce and vinegar and mix well.

A bowl of crispy and refreshing cold noodles is ready!

Ning He brought two bowls of prepared cold noodles into the main room and invited Qian Lin to eat.
