Chapter 129 Does my aunt want to go back to the Cheng family?
Chapter 129 Does my aunt want to go back to the Cheng family?
After Cheng Shuang explained everything clearly, she asked about Cheng Guqiu's injury, and then introduced Wei Qinglang and others to her.
Wei Qinglang stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, aunt."
Wei Nanxing and Wei Xinyi also stepped forward and followed suit, saying, "Hello, aunt."
Cheng Guqiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "My dear, look, I didn't bring you any gifts. I will definitely give them to you someday."
Wei Qinglang smiled and said, "You're welcome, little aunt. When we're done, you can take your two cousins back with us."
Cheng Guqiu was startled when he heard this and looked at Cheng Shuang in surprise, "Shuang'er, this... this is not good!"
"Could it be that my aunt wants to go back to the Cheng family?"
Cheng Shuang knew that she had already fallen out with Boss Cheng's family.
As for Cheng Lao Er, he is a coward who hopes that Cheng Caijun can live a good life with him after he becomes an official. He listens to Cheng Lao Da in everything. Cheng Guqiu has no place to stay when he returns.
Cheng Guqiu was speechless. She knew better than anyone that her two brothers would not tolerate her. She definitely could not go back to the Cheng family, and she did not want to go back either.
But she has been sold by her own man, where can she go now?
Thinking of this, he looked at his two daughters uncomfortably, and finally nodded. This was the only way for the time being. He should settle down first and then find a solution.
Cheng Guqiu quickly pulled his two daughters over and said, "Shuang'er, you haven't seen your two cousins for six or seven years, you probably don't recognize them. This is Qiuyan, fourteen years old this year, and Dongyun, thirteen years old, a few months younger than Pan'er. They are both very skillful, so you can let them do any housework in the future."
"Cousin, hello, cousin-in-law." Qiuyan and Dongyun called out in unison.
Seeing how thin they were and how their faces were withered, Cheng Shuang couldn't help but think of herself and Cheng Pan a few months ago, who were about the same age and are now doing very well.
There were slap marks on their faces. Cheng Shuang reached out and gently touched Dong Yun's red and swollen cheek, "Does it hurt?"
Dong Yun shook her head. "It doesn't hurt. Thank you, cousin. I will work hard when I get back and will definitely not be lazy."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Shuang said, "I'm not letting you come back with me to be servants. After a few months, your slave status will be lifted and you can register as female households. Everything will be fine."
Cheng Guqiu smiled bitterly after hearing what Cheng Shuang said. The child was still too naive. It was not easy to establish a female household!
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in with the menu, asking the customer what he wanted to eat.
Wei Qinglang took the menu and handed it to Cheng Shuang. Cheng Shuang asked Cheng Guqiu, mother and daughter to sit down and put the menu in front of Lu Yinyin.
"Yinyin, please order. Sister will treat you. Thank you for your help today. Please feel free to order whatever you want."
Lu Yinyin didn't hesitate. She opened the menu with a smile and said to the waiter after taking a look, "Steamed grouper, braised duck, stir-fried lamb with scallions, stir-fried pork belly with black fungus, braised lion's head, braised chicken, sweet and sour fish, steamed egg, and two orders of stir-fried vegetables."
"Okay." The waiter didn't need to write it down. He just threw the towel over his shoulder and said, "Dear guests, please wait a moment."
The others looked normal, but Cheng Guqiu and his two daughters turned pale when they heard this. How could they finish so much? And how much would it cost?
Cheng Guqiu stood up quickly and said, "Shuang'er, why don't you remove a few dishes? Your two cousins and I have already eaten. I will wait for you downstairs."
Actually, no. They walked from the village to the county town early in the morning and were already starving, but they still wanted to save some money for Cheng Shuang.
She still had a dozen coins on her, so she could go to the street and buy two steamed buns to share with her daughter.
"Little aunt, please sit down and eat with us." Cheng Shuang could tell she was afraid of spending money, so she said helplessly, "I can still afford to treat you to a meal."
Lu Yinyin also said, "Aunt, Sister Cheng is rich. The thirty taels just now were also given by Sister Cheng. Don't worry."
Cheng Pan stood up and pushed the man back onto the stool. Cheng Guqiu was very nervous and went to see Wei Qinglang's expression, fearing that he would be unhappy about spending so much money, but he found that he looked normal and was teaching his sister who was looking at the menu to recognize the words on it.
This meal was the most sumptuous meal the mother and daughter had ever had. With so much food on the table, they didn’t even dare to pick up their chopsticks. Cheng Shuang and Cheng Pan kept serving food to them, and they were so full in the end.
After eating, Wei Xinyi hugged Wei Qinglang's arm and acted coquettishly, saying that she wanted to try the ice cream cheese.
Wei Qinglang pinched her chin and said, "I just lost a tooth a few days ago. I ate so many sweets that all my teeth fell out."
Wei Xinyi pouted, "You're lying! My sister-in-law said everyone loses their teeth when they get my age, but they grow back."
Despite the threat, Wei Qinglang still took the menu and went out, asking the waiter to serve a portion of ice cream to everyone except himself.
It was not until he was eating ice cream that Cheng Guqiu realized that his niece's family might really not be short of money now.
After dinner, Wei Qinglang went to pay the bill, and then discussed buying mooncakes. Lu Yinyin recommended going to Ruifangzhai to buy them.
Cheng Shuang had tasted the mooncakes from Ruifangzhai that Manager Meng had given her, and they were indeed delicious, so she asked about the location and went to Ruifangzhai to buy some mooncakes.
Then the group went to Mingde Academy, made the relevant registration at the back door, asked the doorman to hand over a few boxes of mooncakes to several teachers in the academy, and then went to a small courtyard specially used for visiting to wait.
After sitting for a while, the two little guys ran in happily. They were so happy to see so many people coming to see them.
Wei Qinglang picked up Cheng Xu, threw him up, and caught him again, weighing him. "He's too heavy. Is it because you only eat and not study hard every day?"
Cheng Xu pouted, "No, not at all. Yesterday the teacher praised my handwriting."
"He got eight out of ten questions wrong on the class test. His only good point was his handwriting." Cheng Chen ruthlessly sabotaged him.
Lu Yinyin was the first one to burst out laughing. She had been to Chengjia Village several times, but it was the first time she met Cheng Shuang’s two younger brothers. She felt that her younger brother Yuanbao would definitely be able to play with these two children.
The others were also trying to hold back their laughter.
Cheng Shuang did not forget to introduce her aunt and two cousins to her two younger brothers. The two children had no impression of them and called them obediently with curiosity on their faces.
Cheng Guqiu responded happily. She couldn't believe it when she saw the two fair and tender children who were being raised and studying in a private school. Her face was full of relief. She thought her brother would be very happy if he were still alive.
Since it was a visit, it was necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of a parent and ask about homework. Cheng Shuang pulled Cheng Chen to tidy up his clothes and asked in a gentle voice, "Brother's test scores were not good. How about Chen'er? How many correct answers did you get?"
"I got them all right." Cheng Chen puffed out his chest proudly, then took out the test paper from his arms and handed it to Cheng Shuang like a treasure.
Cheng Shuang opened it and was a little surprised after reading it. Although they were all very simple questions, Cheng Chen had only started studying for a few months, and this level was definitely very talented.
Cheng Pan also wanted to see it, so Cheng Shuang gave her the test paper, then held her brother's little face and kissed him.
Cheng Xu ran over and took out the test paper from his arms with a pout. Cheng Shuang teased him, "You kid, you got eight out of ten questions wrong, and you still dared to bring it here?"
The little guy lowered his head and said, "The teacher asked me to bring it."
Cheng Shuang understood. It turned out that Cheng Chen did not bring the test paper to ask for praise, but it was the teacher's request.
She quickly finished looking through the wrong-answered paper, feeling both amused and helpless, and handed the paper to Wei Qinglang.
"Xiao Si, you really came here to eat, right?" After looking at him, Wei Qinglang reached out and pinched his nose.
Suddenly, laughter was heard in the yard again.
In addition to bringing moon cakes for the two younger brothers, I also bought them some candies and cakes for them to share with their classmates, as well as a rabbit lantern for each of them.
When a group of people were gathered around the table looking at something, an old man walked in.
"Mr. Wei, Madam Wei, my master invites you."
Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little confused. What did Master Shen suddenly want to do with them?
Could it be that the parents are being contacted because the fourth grader’s academic performance is so poor?
Cheng Shuang suddenly felt a little worried. As they walked along the road, she whispered to Wei Qinglang, "I heard that the admission threshold for Mingde Academy is high. Not only does it require a recommendation from an acquaintance, but it also depends on whether the child has talent. Could Master Shen be trying to dissuade Xiao Si?"
