Chapter 17 Weight Loss First Steps

Liu Chunhua couldn't help looking at her eldest daughter.

Ning Caicai looked thin and yellow, even her hair was yellow and thin.

Typical malnutrition.

"Mom, I'm a big sister, so I should give it to my little sister." The sensible Ning Caicai smiled proactively.

Liu Chunhua felt slightly sour.

How can you not feel sorry for the daughter you gave birth to?
It's just that the conditions at home are limited, so instead of not being able to eat enough for both of them, it's better to eat with one.

Liu Chunhua always felt guilty towards Ning Xianxian, the youngest daughter who was exchanged.

So she would rather starve her own daughter than spoil Ning Xianxian and give her all the good ones.

Although Ning Xianxian knew what she was thinking, it was hard for her to express it.

After all, her rebirth was too unbelievable to tell anyone.

"Mother, sister, do you all want to see me being so fat and being ridiculed and bullied by others?" Ning Xianxian said earnestly, "I want to eat less and do more work in the future, okay?"

If she wants to lose weight, she must first get the support of the closest people around her.

Liu Chunhua finally sighed: "Xian'er, it's all my mother's fault for harming you."

"Mother loves Xian'er so much, how can Xian'er not understand?" Ning Xianxian put his arms around Liu Chunhua's arm and said softly, "Mother, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future."

Liu Chunhua smiled happily and said, "Mother knows that Xian'er is the most filial."

"I'm serious."

And let the person who betrayed and killed her get the retribution he deserves!

Ning Xianxian said silently in her heart.

Liu Chunhua and Ning Caicai were finally convinced.

So for this meal, Ning Xianxian only ate half of a pancake and a bowl of porridge.

Liu Chunhua and Ning Caicai each ate one piece of the remaining pancakes, and kept the rest for dinner.

On the contrary, I drank up a small pot of porridge.

There are not a few grains of rice in it, but I drank a lot of water.

After eating, Ning Xianxian took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and then sat on the kang with Ning Caicai, talking and laughing while watching the heavy snow outside.

Ning Zhou and Ning Dani had a shameful fight before, and they didn't come to find fault at this time.The snow outside had accumulated more than half a foot thick, and they couldn't go out for a while, but the mother and daughter had a rare and leisurely afternoon.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Ning Xianxian saw Ning Caicai sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a sewing basket and gesturing with a paper figure in his hand.

"I'm making shoes." Ning Caicai smiled softly.

"Oh..." Ning Xianxian looked at the red upper and understood.

The country people are poor, partial birth and pay attention to dowry.Girls like Ning Caicai who are approaching the age of marriage and who don't have much dowry at home have to prepare for themselves early.

Ning Xianxian remembered that Ning Caicai said he would get married a year later.

The family to marry was decided by the Ning Zhou family. The man was a lazy bachelor who saved a few taels of silver and gave him almost nothing, so he married Ning Caicai back.

Not only did she not enjoy any blessings after marrying, but she was beaten violently by her husband every three days, making her in-laws embarrassing.

Life was miserable.

Thinking about it now, Ning Xianxian still feels extremely sad.

Now that she was reborn and knew what was going to happen in the future, she naturally wanted to stop this unsuitable marriage.

It's just that the marriage is more than a year later, it's still a bit early to think about it now.

Ning Xianxian only thought silently in his heart and didn't say anything.

"Hey, Xianxian, what are you holding in your hand?" Ning Caicai suddenly found the beads in her hand.

Ning Xianxian looked down at her hand, raised the bead in front of her, and said with a smile, "Does it look good?"

"Looks good." Ning Caicai nodded.

This bead is only the size of a fingernail, very delicate, but the whole body is crystal clear, reflecting light.

Ambilight, gorgeous and unusual.

"Where did such beautiful beads come from?" Liu Chunhua also found it and asked in surprise.

Ning Xianxian thought of the boy on the mountain.

Although she had never seen that boy before, the person who could possess this kind of bead must not be an ordinary person.

"I picked it up on the mountain." She thought for a while, and decided not to tell the story of the boy, so as not to cause any trouble.

Liu Chunhua took it over to look at it, and said with a smile, "I don't know who lost it, and it's not a valuable item after all. If no one finds it, you can play with it."

Ning Caicai pointed at the bead and said, "I think there are eyes on it, can it be hung on the body with a rope?"

"Yo, it's true!" Liu Chunhua also noticed.

"I happen to have a newly twisted red string here." Ning Caicai dug out a red string from the sewing basket, took the beads, put them through the eyes, and raised her head, "A-mei, come here, I'll bring you some .”

Ning Xianxian quickly shook his head: "I don't want it, I'd better leave it with sister, or you can bring it yourself."

Ning Caicai tied it around her neck, and said with a smile: "I am not as white as my sister, and it doesn't look good if I wear it. I have glued this rope for a long time, and there are other colors in it. Don't do it." broken."

The needles and threads used by the women in the family are handkerchiefs made by themselves when they find time to wait for the embroidery work to be sold, and then come back for replacement needles and threads.

Seeing this, Ning Xianxian had no choice but to let it go.

Anyway, the beads are small, so it doesn't hurt to hang them around your neck and hide them in your padded jacket.

It was rare that there was a stove in the room to keep it warm, and the three of them sat on the kang, talking comfortably, and it was getting dark.

Ning Xianxian took the red orchid plant brought back from the previous life to the bedside box, and after a long time of pawing, he found a piece of old cotton wool to surround the flower pot.

"Do you need to put on clothes for the grass?" Ning Caicai and Liu Chunhua looked at Zhi Le and thought she was naughty.

Ning Xianxian finished serving the orchids, then turned around and retreated into the bed, and said with a smile: "This is not ordinary grass, it can be exchanged for a lot of money in the future."

"Anyone else would buy this? What a silly boy."

Liu Chunhua naturally didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to pull her up, "Xian'er, don't sleep, get up and burn her feet."

Because there is no kang, the room is frighteningly cold. If you don't warm your feet before going to bed, you won't even try to keep the bed warm all night.

So hot feet before going to bed every day is a must.

But this time Ning Xianxian refused.

She huddled under the half-worn but clean quilt, only the top of her head and a pair of eyes were exposed: "Mother, my feet are soaking wet today, and I just warmed them up at the stove, so please don't pull me out of bed."

Liu Chunhua burst into tears when she thought of how her feet were cold and numb when she took off her shoes earlier.

"Okay, you can sleep peacefully." Liu Chunhua tucked her quilt up, "Mother, let you watch, and turn off the stove when you fall asleep."

"It's getting dark, and grandma won't let you light the kerosene lamp, mother, you should go to bed too. I don't think there's much charcoal in the stove, so I'll turn it off after a while." Ning Caicai persuaded.

"OK then."

Liu Chunhua got some water to wash and got on the kang.

Ning Xianxian was lying on the innermost side when she heard Ning Caicai ask softly next to her, "Auntie, do we really owe grandma ten cents?"
