Chapter 117 Are you sure you're not kidding her?
Cheng Yue turned around, looked at the two sisters and said softly, "Xiaotong, Xiaoning, what about you two? Is there anything you like to do?
As long as it is something you like, I will support you to try it. "
Chen Tong picked at his fingers, raised his eyes and asked uncertainly: "No matter what we do, as long as we like it, will mother support it?"
Cheng Yue raised her eyebrows. This expression and this little action clearly showed that he had something in mind and was testing her.
"Well, as long as it doesn't hurt others, it's fine."
Chen Tong's eyes lit up, "I want to learn juggling!"
She has loved playing with swords, knives, and sticks since she was a child, but she always felt that girls shouldn't like these. Ever since her grandmother broke her wooden sword, she has never played with it again.
It was not until her mother bought her a wooden sword again and said some words to her that she realized that what one likes has nothing to do with gender.
Just now, Cheng Yue asked her what she liked to do, and she immediately thought of the acrobatics she saw on the streets of the county town. Those somersaults and jumps were so attractive!
However, although her mother asked this, she was still not sure. After all, her mother felt sorry for them, and learning juggling must be very hard. What if her mother didn't agree?
Cheng Yue was drinking water when it all came out with a "plop".
What did she hear? Juggling?! Are you sure he's not kidding her?
Putting aside the question of whether one can endure hardship or not, let’s just say that in this era, even opera singers were called actors, the lowest class of people in society, let alone jugglers?
Chen An patted Cheng Yue on the back and asked tentatively, "Xiaotong, do you like their kung fu, or do you think their street performances are interesting?"
Chen Tong blurted out, "Kung Fu, I like Kung Fu! I think they are awesome!"
If I had this kind of skills, I could protect my parents, brothers and sisters, and our family wouldn't be bullied! "
She doesn't like performing on the street for others. That's so embarrassing!
Chen An shook his head. Fortunately, he asked one more question. Based on his understanding of Chen Tong, he knew that she was unlikely to like juggling. It was obvious that she herself didn't understand the difference.
Cheng Yue then patted her chest. This child was really going to scare her to the point of having a heart attack. She said she liked Kung Fu, but she also said she wanted to learn juggling.
However, this is just a misunderstanding caused by having no idea about juggling and kung fu.
"My parents don't object to my learning Kung Fu, but it may not be easy to find a master. We will keep an eye out for it."
Kung Fu is not so easy to learn. I don’t know where to find a master. What’s more, Chen Tong is a girl, so this wish is even more difficult.
But we can't always persuade children to give up just because it's too difficult. It would be a pity if a person never did what he liked in his life.
As long as they are willing, they will find out. Even if they can't learn very powerful skills, it's good to be able to protect themselves. But it's hard for girls to find jobs if they learn kung fu.
It's possible that when the shop becomes bigger and I need to travel far away more often, I can arrange Chen Tong to be by my side as a bodyguard.
But that’s all in the past, no one can say what will happen in the future.
Chen Tong's eyes sparkled, "Okay, thank you, Dad and Mom!"
It was great that even though she wanted to learn kung fu, her parents didn't look unhappy at all.
After Chen Tong asked about his thoughts, Cheng Yue asked Chen Ning, but the little girl frowned with a confused look in her eyes.
"I, I don't know, I think I like doing housework..."
If you ask her what she likes to do, she really doesn't know. She only knows that she was used to growing vegetables, feeding chickens, cooking and washing clothes, and she didn't feel much disgusted with doing them, so she must like doing housework.
The eldest brother and the second sister both knew what they wanted to do, but she was the only one who didn't know. If she only did housework, she would feel worthless in this family.
Cheng Yue felt soft in her heart as she watched Chen Ning rubbing the corner of her clothes with a frustrated look on her face.
"Xiao Ning, it doesn't matter if you don't know what you like. You are still young, we can find out slowly.
Even if you like doing housework, it’s fine. Housework is the most tiring and tedious, and it is the most important thing in a family.
If you can do these things well, that’s pretty impressive!”
Chen An also encouraged, "Even though it's the same housework, some people can't do it well, but Xiao Ning does it very well!"
Chen Lin grabbed his head and laughed, "My little sister is much better than me. I can't cook. The porridge becomes mushy when I cook it."
Chen Tong also praised with a smile, "Yes, my little sister washes clothes cleaner than me. I am just too careless."
Chen Ning is the youngest in the family, but she is the most introverted. As a sister, Chen Tong is obviously more cheerful, so the whole family is willing to make her happy.
Of course, this time they were not trying to please Chen Ning, what they said was all true.
After receiving the approval of the whole family, Chen Ning immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I understand!"
It turns out that doing housework can be the most important thing!
The family chatted and laughed, and the sky was bright. However, the rain showed no sign of letting up and continued to pour down.
But there is no way to worry. If the weather is not good, what can you do about it?
Chen Ning stirred the porridge in the pot, and when she saw it was cooked, she took a bowl and served it up. Chen Tong then scooped a plate of pickles from the clay pot.
Before eating, Cheng Yue fried five eggs, which is a must for breakfast.
Chen Lin brought the table in, and the family started eating.
Chen An looked at the area behind the kitchen door and said, "This house is indeed old. When it rains heavily, the corners of the wall will be soaked with water."
If it rains like this for a few days, the room will probably be wet, which is not good for your health if you live in it for a long time.
Cheng Yue nodded and said yes, "I'm afraid it will collapse easily if it rains or snows heavily. There's a lot of rain in summer, so we should be more careful and wait until we move into the new house."
The place where they live is on high ground, and the mountain behind is not a dirt mountain. It is full of pine and cypress trees, so there are not many natural disasters.
The house is in disrepair for a long time. If it rains heavily, I'm afraid it won't be strong enough, so we still need to be careful.
After the meal, the family had nothing to do so they could only sit on the bench and wait for the rain to stop.
Chen Lin noticed the plastic sheeting on the pile of firewood and his puzzled face wrinkled. Just as he was about to ask, Cheng Yue confessed.
The three children were all shocked, but under the instructions of Cheng Yue and Chen An, they promised again and again that they would never tell anyone and would keep the matter to themselves!
After the family shared their secret, the rain finally stopped after more than two hours. Cheng Yue was afraid that the road would be difficult to walk on, so she asked Chen An and the two sisters to stay at home.
With Chen Lin following us, as well as Zhao Changyong and Zhang Shaowen, nothing will happen.
It had just rained heavily, and a stream of water had gathered on the road going down the mountain. Wherever you stepped on it, it all turned into yellow mud.
Cheng Yue and Chen Lin led the cow and slowly went down the mountain. The road in the village was not very promising. It was full of potholes and was even worse than the road on the mountain.
The road was not easy to walk on, so the group of four were not in a hurry. When they arrived at the shop, it was almost time for the sale and there was already a long line at the door.
In addition, there were two pretty women in their thirties waiting at the door of the store.
To be precise, it was a woman wearing red and green, and a woman wearing something more elegant.
When the two saw Cheng Yue, they all greeted her politely, "Meet Madam Cheng, we are here to discuss business with you."
