Chapter 249: Heart and lungs
Zhang Yunniang can stand other things, but she can't stand her daughter's praise.
The little girl spoke softly and delicately, which made Zhang Yuniang unable to help but want to be impulsive and want to continue doing this.
Ms. Li advised from the side: "Staying at home all day long will inevitably lead to a lack of information. If you go out more and move around, people will be more active. You will learn more about things and your horizons will be broader."
Niu Niu kept nodding, grabbing Zhang Yunniang and continuing to act coquettishly: "Yes, yes, mother, it's so boring for you to be stuck at home all day long. You can get to know more aunties when you go out."
Zhang Yuniang's considerations were different from theirs. She thought of her second son.
If they can really make friends with these dignitaries, they might be able to help their second son one day.
"Okay, since you all think it is feasible to do this, then I will continue."
Li Shi said with a smile: "That's right. After I came to the capital, I just realized a truth. Only when our daughter's family comes out can we see the vastness of the world. If we are trapped in the inner house all day long, we are not just allowed to be slaughtered. Lamb.”
Mrs. Li also felt this. During those years, she was trapped in the deep courtyard of her hometown. It was not like her eyes were black and she could only let her mother-in-law and sister-in-law bully her.
After returning to the Gu family's house, she told Gu Mingda about the matter.
Gu Mingda agreed very much. Not for the sake of his second son, Gu Mingda just felt that although Zhang Yunniang said she was afraid of getting involved in the secrets of the inner house, the light in her eyes could not deceive anyone.
Zhang Yuniang looked in high spirits. It was obvious that she was still proud of what she was doing, and she could get recognition from this incident.
Niu Niu pulled Gu Mingda's sleeve, whispered in her father's ear: "Mom seems to be more beautiful."
Gu Mingda couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"You two, father and daughter, what are you whispering behind my back?" Zhang Yunniang said angrily.
Niu Niu rolled her eyes and said slyly: "I won't tell mom, this is a little secret between me and dad!"
Gu Mingda nodded vigorously.
Zhang Yuniang pretended to be jealous: "Okay, Niuniu has the best relationship with your father now."
When Niu Niu heard this, she immediately became anxious and hurriedly threw herself into her mother's arms and said, "No, no, my mother and I are always best friends. We are best friends!"
Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but laugh, tapped Niu Niu's forehead, and then took the milky little girl into her arms.
"Mother Yun, if you really want to help those women, you can actually ask Dr. Yan for advice. He has been practicing medicine for many years and must have a lot of experience. You can also learn a thing or two." Gu Mingda said.
Zhang Yunniang actually listened to the suggestion and said, "I will ask him for advice when I have some free time."
Gu Mingda helped his wife think of a goal: "When you have experienced a lot in the future, maybe you can compile it into a volume and write a book."
Zhang Yunniang was not as confident as him, and said, "As a woman, how can I have such ability?"
Neither Gu Mingda nor Niu Niu allowed her to belittle herself.
Niuniu said: "Mom is the most powerful person!"
Gu Mingda also said: "What about women? Aren't men and women all human beings? I never think that women can't do things that men can do? Yun Niang, I always think that you are just a pity as a daughter. If If you go to school like me, you might be able to pass the imperial examination faster than me."
Zhang Yuniang said with a smile: "I'm not that powerful. It's all because you favor me that you think so highly of me. I'm just an ordinary woman."
Niu Niu retorted loudly: "Mom is not an ordinary person! She can take care of us and do business. Everyone likes me. She is the best!"
Gu Mingda nodded and said: "Yes, your mother is so powerful. Unlike your father, he is busy when he is studying and has no ability to take care of you." Niu Niu put her little face against Zhang Yunniang's face: "I will grow up too. Be as awesome as your mother.”
Gu Mingda added: "There are many things in the inner house that cannot be explained clearly. You did a good job today. Use verbal hints to guide them to think for themselves, and say more words of comfort. Sickness is mostly caused by emotions, which can help them relax. , it’s not considered a failure.”
Zhang Yuniang was originally a little anxious, but she gradually calmed down with the comfort from her father and daughter.
Gu Mingda, on the other hand, was still thinking about Shuying. Even though Zhang Yuniang mentioned that Shuying was very loyal to Niuniu, this girl was so crazy that he could never completely let go of her without seeing her.
When Shuying saw Gu Mingda and Niu Niu coming together, she could still only see Niu Niu in her eyes.
"Miss Third, look at the soap I made for you. Use this to wash your hands and bathe. It will be quick and clean."
Shuying held a piece of light yellow paste cut into squares in front of Niu Niu like a treasure.
Niuniu's hands happened to be dirty, so Shuying held her hand and showed her how to wash her hands in the basin nearby.
Seeing a bunch of foam being made with her hands, Niu Niu felt it was extremely novel.
"This time I only made ordinary soap. I went back to pick the flowers and make floral soap. Our third lady will always smell good." Shuying said happily.
Gu Mingda was originally on guard, but when he saw Shuying touching Niuniu with a cautious attitude, as if he was touching a fairy, Gu Mingda suddenly felt that his guarding was a bit ridiculous.
But after listening to Shuying's words and seeing the effect of soap with his own eyes, he immediately understood that there was a huge business opportunity in it.
Lard is not a cheap item for ordinary people's homes, and soap made from lard is destined not to enter ordinary people's homes.
But to achieve the purpose of cleaning, for dignitaries, price has never been an issue.
If you really add floral fragrance to it as Shuying said, then you won't have to worry about selling it.
Gu Mingda had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he looked down at Niuniu and Shuying. The two were having fun together at this time. Shuying followed Niuniu in everything and put Niuniu's wishes first.
Gu Mingda suddenly felt that all his thoughts on making money were despicable.
Shuying took out another jar of white sugar.
"Miss Third, this is the white sugar I made, take a bite."
Shuying scooped a spoonful and gave it to Niu Niu.
Niu Niu slurped it into her mouth, and soon her eyes lit up.
"It's delicious, so delicious, so sweet! I want to eat it again!"
Niuniu is only six years old. No child can withstand the temptation of sugar.
This time, Shuying rarely obeyed her, but said hesitantly: "My tooth hurts if I eat too much. I can't eat too much."
Niu Niu sighed heavily and lowered her head with a look of disappointment.
When Shuying saw the little girl like this, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and said, "Do you have anything else you want to eat? I'll make it for you right now? Do you want to eat pork jerky? Or something else?" Yes? Shall I make fried chicken legs for you?”
The way she looked at this time, she really wanted to give her heart to Niu Niu.
