Chapter 1019: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (8)
"It may not be poisonous, but it definitely tastes bad!" the Wheel of Samsara complained. "It tastes bad anyway, so just swallow it. Why worry about how bad it tastes?"
Yun Nizhen never expressed her desire to taste the delicious food at the beginning, but just kept eating.
I ate while crying.
It continued to devour for several days, and finally all of the host Ning Yun's feelings for Xiao Jianlu were eaten up.
To Ning Yun, Xiao Jianlu now is just a bad person with bad character who always steals food from her.
Therefore, after hearing my mother say that the Xiao family’s jewelry-making skills were actually average, I felt that this family was not good people.
The next morning, Ning Yun was about to go to the embroidery shop to receive this job when she was stopped by her brother Ning Xiu.
"Sese, when you go to the embroidery shop today, please help me get the repair tools from the blacksmith shop!" Ning Xiu said a little embarrassedly, "I miscalculated the working hours and date, I need to go to the workshop to catch up."
Ning Yun asked curiously, "But brother, aren't you used to using spare tools? How can you finish the work without them?"
"So I have to ask you again, after you get the things, please run back and deliver them to me!" Ning Xiu said while making a please gesture.
"Alright! It's just a small matter, it's not worth it for you to beg me like this!" Ning Yun smiled, "Even if I don't go to the embroidery shop to get work today, I will help you deliver the tools. Go to the workshop quickly!"
After Ning Xiu and his sister thanked him, they went to work.
Yanzhou City is so big that there is certainly more than one iron shop, but the only one that can do fine work, such as repairing tools and adding patterns to swords, is the Xue family's shop.
However, Xue and his son are both night owls, so they don't work for very long every day. They open the shop around noon and close it before dark.
This is also the reason why Ning Xiu couldn't go to get the tools himself - if he was late for work, he was already a low-level craftsman. If he wanted to move up a level, whether he could start work on time was a big key.
The owner of Jiuhualou once said that attitude is always more important than skills. If you can't even do such a simple thing, or are unwilling to do it, then the reward will not achieve anything.
Ning Yun looked at the sky and thought it was still early, so she told her mother, Tao Fangfei, why she had left early: "Mom, I went to the Xue family's blacksmith shop to get some repair tools for my brother. I have to deliver them to him after I get them, so I might be back late."
Tao Fangfei glanced at the sky and said, understandingly, "Sese, even though almond tea tastes good, don't be greedy! After you finish it, go get your brother some tools."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knew that her daughter went out so early probably for the small stall selling almond tea at the corner of the street.
Ning Yun blushed when her mother exposed her purpose and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's okay! It's just a meal, what's the big deal? Do you have enough money? If not, I'll get you some more!" Tao Fangfei touched her daughter's bun and said, "Just don't overeat!"
"I understand, Mom!" Ning Yun quickly ran out of her house.
After walking a few steps, she arrived at a stall selling almond tea. She was an old acquaintance. The stall owner asked with a smile while scooping almond tea, "Little girl, you're the only one here today! Why didn't the boy you used to be with come today?"
The person the stall owner was talking about was Xiao Jianlu.
"Sister!" Ning Yun was about to speak when she was interrupted by a man between a teenager and a young man.
When the Ning family and the Xiao family lived in the same courtyard, Ning Yun was the youngest. Later, they moved and there were not many children living near their new home.
The key point is that she doesn't like going out, so this seems to be the first time she has been called sister.
However, Ning Yun turned around and looked at the sound, and was instantly surprised.
First of all, the person who calls her sister is much taller than her.
Judging from the looks of it, he should be taller than his brother Ning Xiu.
You need to look up to see the other person's face clearly - dark skin and shy eyes!
Different from the gentle and delicate style that men pursue nowadays, this man looks particularly strong.
Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed by being looked at, the "man" showed an awkward but polite smile on his face and called out again, "Sister!"
Because she paid special attention this time, Ning Yun could hear that the voice of this "man" was close to that of a child, only slightly hoarse. He must have just entered the voice change period.
"Are you calling me sister?" Ning Yunren couldn't help but confirm, "But you look older than me!"
"Sister!" The "man" insisted on calling Ning Yun that, then scratched his head and added, "I'm just tall. Actually, I'm only eleven years old!"
