Chapter 100, little flatterer
Sister Ying was quite happy to see that he was willing to listen to her.
She told Sister Ting to stay away before, but Sister Ting still didn’t believe it and wouldn’t listen to anything she said. In the end, the ball was really hit and she cried in pain.
Unexpectedly, Jing Shirong, who was older than her, was willing to listen to her.
“Heehee~”
She smiled happily for no reason.
Jing Shirong saw that she was in a childish mood, so he laughed at her jokes and asked her with a smile, "What do you want to play?"
The words meant that I wanted to play with her.
Sister Ying hummed and thought for a while, "I want to climb a tree to pick fruits, but my mother won't let me." After saying that, she pointed to the fruit tree in the alley and wanted to climb it very much.
Jing Shirong has also taken care of his younger siblings and knows that children like to climb up and down.
He also liked to climb trees and climb rockeries when he was a child, and he just liked the refreshing feeling of reaching the top.
He looked at the height of the fruit tree. It was almost four or five meters high and the trunk was very strong. It would be no problem for him to climb up by himself, but that was not necessarily the case for Sister Ying.
Jing Shirong was afraid that she would fall, so he advised her, "Why don't you wait until you grow up before climbing? If you fall, your mother will beat you."
He was afraid that he would not be able to persuade her, so he had no choice but to move the Wu family out.
Sister Ying heard that she would be beaten, so she had no choice but to give up, "How about we go watch someone catch small fish?"
There is a small bridge not far from their home. Under the bridge is a small stream. There are many small fish and shrimps there. The children often go there to play in summer.
Jing Shirong felt that the weather was already a bit cold, so he could only divert her attention, "Why don't you go back with me to watch my dad brew wine? My dad has been making wine these days, and the smell is very refreshing. Do you want to watch it?" "
Sister Ying was originally curious about their wine, but Jing Shirong took the initiative to mention it at this moment, so of course she wanted to go see it.
“Okay, let’s go.”
After saying that, he went to pull Jing Shirong's sleeve.
Jing Shirong did not treat her as a little girl, only as a child. He took her little hand and led her into the house.
Jing’s father has been making wine in the courtyard for the past few days.
He bought a jar of bottom wine and came back, preparing to brew different wines to sell.
However, making wine requires fermentation, so it will take some time before you can sell it.
The Jing family is not short of money, so they are not in a hurry to start business.
Jing Shirong brought Sister Ying in to visit and explained everything to her.
Sister Ying said to herself, "Aren't you afraid that I will secretly learn your skills?" You actually told me how to ferment?
Jing Shirong is really not afraid of this.
Making wine not only requires craftsmanship, but also requires exclusive secret recipes for fermentation time and production methods, which are not easy to learn.
In addition, Sister Ying is just a child in his eyes, so he doesn't worry about this at all.
While they were watching, Mrs. Jing came out.
This was the first time she saw a guest coming to her home, and she took a curious look.
Sister Ying also saw her, so she walked over and said hello, "Hello, mother-in-law~"
Mrs. Jing saw that she was a country boy and she knew how to salute, so she barely managed a hum.
“Whose child are you from?”
I didn’t expect that there would be such a beautiful child in this mountain valley. It’s really rare.
She thought that beautiful little girls had to be raised by rich families, but she never expected that there could be such exquisite children in such a remote place in the mountains.
Jing Shirong saw that his grandmother was staring at Sister Ying, so he coughed and signaled to Mrs. Jing that it was better. Mrs. Jing was reminded by him and then she withdrew her gaze.
Sister Ying was not afraid of being stared at by her. She raised her head and chatted with Mrs. Jing, "Mother-in-law, you look so young."
Her mother said that when she saw an old person, she always praised his youth, and the old ladies were happy to hear that.
Sister Ying didn't believe it at first, but when she met the old lady later she complimented her on how young she was. As expected, the old lady was very happy after hearing this and happily stuffed her with a handful of candies.
Later she saw that this was so useful. Whenever she saw an old lady, she would praise her youth, which made Mrs. Wu dumbfounded.
But the effect is really good. When the old lady is praised by the children for being young, she can feel better all day long.
Like this meeting.
Mrs. Jing, who originally had a cold face, was praised for her youth by a child. She immediately twitched her lips and said in disbelief, "Really?"
I don’t believe it on the face, but my heart is almost floating.
Sister Ying smiled and said yes, like a little flatterer, "You are really elegant, even more elegant than my cousin's grandmother."
Mrs. Jing said to herself, of course I am more elegant than those old ladies in the country. I am the daughter of a wealthy family.
But she would not say this openly, but she was secretly happy.
As soon as Sister Ying saw her proud look, she knew that she was beautiful.
So she held her sincere face and continued to praise the old lady, "You must have been very beautiful when you were young. You look really noble."
If an adult said this, it would only make people feel flattering.
But when it comes out of the mouths of children, the elderly just like to hear it.
Even Jing Shirong felt that Sister Ying was a bit flattering, but Mrs. Jing felt that children just couldn't lie and whatever they saw was what they saw.
She just said that she is good-looking when she is young and good-looking when she is old. Even a little kid can see that she is noble, which shows that she was born rich and destined.
Jing Shirong saw that her grandmother was about to float away, so she covered her face so she couldn't look at her.
Mrs. Jing was very happy and praised Sister Ying, "Which family are you a little kid from? Your little head is really smart."
Sister Ying replied, "I'm from the Liang family next door. You can come to my house when you have time. My grandmother wants to come and sit with you but she's afraid of disturbing you."
But in fact, Mrs. Liang didn’t even want to come.
Old Mrs. Liang was always arrogant. Although she was curious about what Mrs. Jing's family looked like, she would not take the initiative to come looking for her. Afraid of lowering one's status.
Plus the Jing family looked like they had a little money, so she didn't want to come over on her own initiative, lest people think she was here to curry favor with them.
So the old ladies from the two families have not been in contact with each other. They are both at home waiting for each other to come over.
Mrs. Jing said "oh" when she heard that Sister Ying was from the Liang family.
“It turns out it’s the Liang family next door. I’m just saying, I think your mother taught me how to have such a sweet mouth.”
The Liang family sends delicious food over every now and then, and Mrs. Jing always remembers it.
This daughter-in-law cooks delicious food, and the food she eats is to her taste, but she is embarrassed to ask for more for fear of being laughed at.
Now Sister Ying walked up the steps and said that Mrs. Liang also wanted to sit with her. Mrs. Jing said, "I think the weather will be good tomorrow. Why don't you ask your grandmother to come over to my house and sit with her?"
Sister Ying thought for a while, "Then I have to go back and ask. I'm afraid that if my mother is not free, my grandmother will have to help take care of my brother. I'll go back and ask first, and I'll come back and give you an accurate message soon. Do you think it's OK? ?”
Mrs. Jing knew that they had a little baby at home, and she was afraid that Mrs. Liang would be busy raising her grandson, so she nodded in agreement.
Otherwise, it would be rare for her to invite people to her door. If they dared to make her wait for a letter, they would be disrespectful.
But this little girl is sweet-mouthed today, so she can reluctantly agree to let her go back and deliver the letter.
"Okay, then go and ask. Remember to come over and give me a reply later."
