Chapter 55： so-called fairness

Chapter 55 The so-called fairness

In her sleep, her daughter said that her husband wanted to take the first place in the exam, but Zhang Yunniang was not happy at all.

Every word that my daughter speaks with the power of wish comes with a price.

Compared with the advantages she can take advantage of, Zhang Yunniang is more afraid of the unknown costs.

Although her daughter seems healthy and safe now, who knows if fate is hiding in the dark, gathering strength, waiting to explode.

Niuniu was still shouting: "Not only this time, but also..."

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly shook the child awake, but she did not dare to let her daughter continue shouting.

Niu Niu opened her eyes, looked at her mother in confusion, and asked, "Mom, did I oversleep?"

Niu Niu thought she would sleep until the sun shone on her butt, but the light in the room was not bright and she could only vaguely see Zhang Yunniang's face.

Zhang Yunniang touched her little head and asked, "Did Niuniu dream? What did you dream about?"

Niu Niu nodded in confusion and said: "I dreamed of an old man with a white beard and said that my father could only come second in the exam this time. I said no, my father must be the first, and I have to be the first every time. But before I finished speaking, I woke up."

"The next time I see him, I don't know when it will be..."

Niuniu's face was filled with grievances.

Zhang Yunniang said softly: "Niuniu, do you remember what your parents taught you before?"

Niu Niu tilted her head and said, "My parents taught me many principles, and Niu Niu remembers them all."

"What if it's something my parents want?" Zhang Yuniang asked.

Niu Niu said softly: "My parents said that you want to fight for what your parents want, and you won't let me help you make a wish in your heart."

Zhang Yuniang didn't expect that she actually remembered.

Niuniu immediately added: "This time I didn't make a wish in my heart, I made a wish in my dream!"

Seeing the sly look in her little girl's eyes, Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but find it a little funny. She didn't argue with her daughter about the relationship between "dreams" and "hearts", but said directly:

"Then Niuniu, please don't make wishes for your parents in your dreams in the future, okay? We agreed that what your parents want, they will fight for it themselves. Even if your dad didn't pass the exam in the end, it was because he was not good at studying. He didn't know how to do it. Resentful of others.”

Niuniu nodded obediently and said, "I remember."

Zhang Yuniang looked at her cute and cute appearance and couldn't help but kiss her little cheek and said: "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "I can't sleep anymore, I want to get up."

Zhang Yunniang didn't force herself, she picked up the clothes beside the bed and wanted to put them on for her.

But Niu Niu shook her head: "I want to wear it myself, I can wear it myself."

Niu Niu did everything in the Zhang family. She also learned how to dress herself from the scoldings of Xiao Cai and Mrs. Cai.

Zhang Yunniang dressed her gently and said, "Mom likes to dress Niu Niu. Don't Niu Niu like my help with dressing?"

Niuniu was stunned.

When she was in the Zhang family, she didn't know how much she envied Jin Bao. The whole family revolved around him and she didn't need to do anything by herself. Little Cai did it by herself every day, dressing and combing her hair. After Zhang Yuniang helped her get dressed, she picked up the comb on the side, combed her hair gently, and asked: "Should I comb one small comb today, or two small combs?"

Maybe it was because Gu Mingda's words yesterday untied her knot, Niuniu couldn't help but have a strange thought in her heart: "I want to comb five pieces, two in the front and three in the back. Mom, is that okay? Yes. Wouldn’t it be troublesome?”

Although Zhang Yuniang thought this idea was strange, she would not refuse her daughter's rare request and said, "We got up early today. We can spend the whole morning combing our hair."

Niu Niu nestled in Zhang Yunniang's arms and smiled sweetly. She really enjoyed the time spent with her mother. She felt warm and at ease in her heart, as if her whole body was wrapped in soft clouds.

When it was daylight, Gu Yan got up and started reading.

The scholars next to him might get up to read when the rooster crows, but Gu Mingda has never been happy for Gu Yanchen to read too early.

The light in the morning is not very good. Even if a candle is lit, it is not as bright as during the day. Gu Mingda has seen many scholars whose eyes have been damaged by working too hard. Therefore, although he hopes his son will work hard, he does not want him to work hard. To the point of breaking your body.

After Zhang Yunniang was busy with Niuniu's hair, she began to prepare breakfast for the three children.

Like a little tail, Niu Niu followed Zhang Yunniang step by step. She also wanted to help her mother cook, but Zhang Yunniang stopped her.

"Mom is very busy. I don't need your help. Your two brothers didn't help. You can just watch from the sidelines." Zhang Yunniang said with a smile.

Niuniu said: "But my brother is a boy and I am a girl. Shouldn't girls do these things?"

Zhang Yunniang insisted on this matter. She and Gu Mingda had already reached an agreement on this matter.

The couple has four children. Even if Gu Mingda does not take the imperial examination, he will not be short of money, so he will not treat the children differently.

Since Mrs. Gu's generation, the Gu family has not been particularly patriarchal. Although girls will be married off sooner or later, they are still their own flesh and blood.

Niuniu may have to do these things in the future, but the couple hopes it will not be before marriage. If Niuniu can read in the future, Gu Mingda will work hard to train her on the path of a talented woman, so that she does not have to be trapped in the trivial matters of the house all her life.

"Brothers are the children of your parents, and you are also the children of your parents. There is nothing that should or should not be done. You will share the work equally in the future. If you really want to help your mother with the work now, go and call your two brothers over. I Let me share the work with you," Zhang Yunniang said.

Niu Niu's eyes widened slightly, she hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Then let's forget it."

The eldest brother is studying and the third brother is sleeping. Niuniu thinks these are very important things and doesn't want to disturb them.

Zhang Yunniang nodded and just made breakfast. It was not hard at all. Compared with other women's families, her life was actually very easy.

And when she turned around, she could see her daughter sitting obediently aside with a sweet smile on her face.

Zhang Yunniang took out an egg, cracked it, poured it carefully into a bowl, sprinkled a few grains of salt inside, and poured hot water over it.

The egg liquid is washed away and floats in the bowl like a flower, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

"You must be hungry when you get up so early. Eat the plumeria first." Zhang Yunniang brought the bowl to Niu Niu.

Niu Niu had always envied Jinbao for eating plumeria. When she was at Lao Gu's house, Zhang Yunniang couldn't open a small stove for her, but after moving to Fucheng, she had to make her a bowl of hot plumeria almost every morning.

Niu Niu was used to eating it, but now she suddenly asked: "Brothers haven't eaten frangipani, shouldn't I eat it too?"
