Chapter 585: 162: Old Friends et (12 more updates)_1
I don’t know if I’ll ever see those three poor children again in this life.
Zhou Danni laughed, “What’s so great? It’s usually very troubleso. I have to buy everything in four portions. If soone gets more or less, they will quarrel and say it’s unfair, and they often fight!”
Having many children brings many troubles, but most of these troubles are happy ones.
Zhou Danni continued, “Now I’m going to go inside and chat with your Aunt Daya. Are you guys okay with taking care of your little sister Yunyun?”
“Sure, sure!” Little Ni Yun is very cute, and everyone likes her very much.
Watching Ni Yun go with the children, Zhou Danni continued, “You can trust them with Yunyun. Let’s go inside to chat.”
“Okay.” Ni Cuihua nodded and followed Zhou Danni into the house.
Zhou Danni’s husband may be running a small business, but after all, there are four children to feed in the house. Plus, the business is not particularly good. The money he earns is barely enough. Their lives are very ordinary and are the type that can only afford at during the holidays.
But to Zhou Danni, Ni Cuihua is a guest of honor. After making Ni Cuihua sit down, Zhou Danni walked into the house, saying, “Daya, wait for . I’m going to get you a treat.”
After a while, Zhou Danni ca out with a fresh tangerine and handed it to Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua knew that this must be the most precious thing in Zhou Danni’s house and quickly declined, “Dani, we’re like sisters, so you don’t need to be so kind to . Save this tangerine for the children.”
“You eat. We have plenty at ho! Daya! You’ll be too formal if you don’t eat it!” Zhou Danni peeled the tangerine and put it back into Ni Cuihua’s hand.
Ni Cuihua was deeply moved and stuffed half of the tangerine into Zhou Danni’s hands, saying, “You also eat.”
Zhou Danni nodded, “Okay, let’s eat together.”
The two chatted as they ate.
Ni Cuihua told Zhou Danni about her past, and Zhou Danni listened with sighs.
“Daya, your life has been too hard! How could your father bear to sell you to such a family?”
Ni Cuihua responded with a bitter smile, “It’s all in the past.”
Zhou Danni sighed, “The past is indeed past, but the hardships you endured were real. And those three poor children.” She never expected that Ni Cuihua had led such a hellish life.
Ni Cuihua, with swollen eyes, said, “The ones I owe the most are those three children…”
Zhou Danni walked over and patted Ni Cuihua’s back, comforting, “Actually, for them, it’s kind of a blessing in disguise. If they continued to stay in the Mu Family, who knows how that old lady would have abused them. Maybe by now they have been taken by kind people and are leading a good life.”
“Hopefully…” Ni Cuihua continued, “I have been talking about all this ti. What about you, Dani? How have you been these years?”
Compared to Ni Cuihua, Zhou Danni’s life has been quite good over these years.
Her husband is an honest man who only knows how to work and earn money. She’s the one in charge at ho. Three years ago, they followed their fellow villagers to Beijing and started a small business there, successfully settling down in Beijing.
Although they don’t earn much money and their life is tight, it’s at least happy because their family is together.
The two chatted for a long ti, and before they knew it, it was evening.
Zhou Danni’s husband returned after closing his stall.
Zhou Danni introduced Ni Cuihua, “Old Zhao, this is Daya I often talk to you about. We grew up in the sa village.”
Old Zhao, a man who looked very honest from his face, greeted Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua nodded, “Hello, brother-in-law.”
Zhou Danni is two months older than her, so it’s appropriate to call him brother-in-law.
Old Zhao looked at Zhou Danni, “Well, since we have guests today, I’ll go to buy so groceries now.”
“Go ahead.” Zhou Danni added, “Rember to buy two pounds of pork!”
Hearing about pork, the children playing outside cheered!
“We will have at tonight!”
“We will have at for dinner tonight!”
“Okay!” Even if Old Zhao doesn’t normally indulge in food and drink, he won’t be short of a few yuan for at with guests in the house. He won’t neglect the guests.
Ni Cuihua hurriedly said, “Dani, don’t go to so much trouble. I won’t stay for dinner.”
It’s obvious that Zhou Danni’s family’s financial condition is not very good, and Ni Cuihua didn’t want them to make unnecessary expenses.
“Of course I’m here!” Zhou Danni said, “We only see each other once in so many years! How could you not be here for dinner! If you’re not here for dinner, I’m not letting you return tonight! Besides, just look at how happy those little rascals were when they heard there was at to eat! They’ll surely be heartbroken if you don’t eat here!”
Helpless, Ni Cuihua had to agree and said, “Then let tell my eldest daughter first, so she doesn’t worry about being missing later!”
“Great, let her co over to dine together too!”
Ni Cuihua went to the door of the training class and waited for about ten minutes before she saw Ni Yang coming out.
“Yangyang!” Ni Cuihua ran over.
“Mom!” Ni Yang asked in confusion, “Why are you alone? Where’s Yunyun?”
Ni Cuihua relayed the incident of eting Zhou Danni to Ni Yang.
Ni Yang was also delighted that Ni Cuihua encountered a childhood friend in Beijing.
She smiled and said, “Mom, let’s get sothing to take with us. How many kids does Aunt Danni have?”
“Four!” Ni Cuihua replied.
Ni Yang nodded, “There’s a shop over there, let’s go to the shop first.”
Ni Yang bought malted milk, candies, beef granules, biscuits, so fruits, and two bottles of liquor, spending over fifty yuan in total.
When they arrived at Zhou Danni’s ho, it was already getting dark.
All the children had gathered in the living room.
Old Zhao was cooking in the kitchen, Zhou Danni and the children imdiately ca out to greet them.
Ni Cuihua handed the bags of gifts to Zhou Danni and the children, “These are all goodies for the kids.”
Zhou Danni chided, “Daya, why did you buy so many things? After all these years of friendship, why waste money?!” Everyone’s living conditions aren’t easy, and Ni Cuihua bringing so many things made Zhou Danni feel slightly embarrassed.
Ni Cuihua laughed and said, “I didn’t buy much, they just looked nice. Speaking of, Danni, this is my eldest daughter Ni Yang! Yangyang, this is your Aunt Danni.”
Ni Yang politely greeted, “Hello, Aunt Danni.”
Only then did Zhou Danni get a clear look at Ni Yang by Ni Cuihua’s side, she was surprised and said, “Daya, your daughter is too beautiful! She’s like drawn on a picture!”
Zhou Danni had seen quite a lot of people over the years, but she had never seen soone as beautiful as Ni Yang!
Not only was the girl beautiful, but she also had a unique charisma!
No wonder she managed to get Ni Cuihua out of Dam Village.
Ni Cuihua laughed and said, “This girl can’t take complints. If you keep praising her like this, I’m sure she will beco overly proud!”
Zhou Danni responded, “I’m not just flattering; my niece really is beautiful! Alright, let’s not just stand here, let’s go inside and sit!”
They all went inside.
Old Zhao had already set the al on the table, and the dinner was very rich, with both fish and at.
Ni Cuihua introduced Old Zhao to Ni Yang.
Ni Yang politely greeted, “Hello Uncle Zhao.”
Zhou Danni has educated her children well. Although they had not eaten at for a long ti, after each of them had taken a piece, they did not take any more, preventing any chaos over food.
On the other hand, Zhou Danni kept serving at to Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua, “Daya, you and Yangyang eat the at! Treat this place as your own ho, don’t be polite!”
Unable to refuse, Ni Yang ate two large pieces of fat at. She was unable to eat the last piece, but she still gulped it down with discomfort. After dinner, she quickly took her bowl to the kitchen, fearing that Zhou Danni would serve her more at.
Zhou Danni was a bit worried that Ni Yang did not eat enough, “Yangyang, how co you’ve eaten so little? There’s still plenty of rice in the pot! Don’t worry about saving food for , it’s not a famine era now!”
Ni Yang smiled faintly, “I’m full, Aunt Danni.”
Zhou Danni was sowhat skeptical, “Can you be full with just that? Is it because the food Uncle Zhao cooked isn’t good?”
Ni Yang continued, “Uncle Zhao’s cooking is delicious, Aunt Danni, I’m truly full.”
Ni Cuihua chid in from the side, “Danni, you don’t need to worry about her. This girl has always had a small appetite, always like feeding a myna bird.”
Only then did Zhou Danni feel relieved.
