Zhurou

Chapter 51
As soon as the girl left, Xu Wanniang was not embarrassed, and immediately took the initiative to bring out the bird's nest, put it in front of Zhao Mingzhi, and said: "This food should be eaten while it is hot, Miss Zhao, don't dislike it."

He took the tea from the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

The two sat opposite each other, seeing each other's appearance in their eyes.

Xu Wanniang looked at Zhao Mingzhi's face with black warts for a while, then looked at her hands and face, she couldn't help showing pity, struggled for a while, and then said: "I have something to ask Miss Zhao..."

"I've heard people say that you and your second elder brother met halfway, and then they walked together all the way and have experienced a lot. I don't know if this is true or not?"

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help smiling when he heard her question, and asked, "I don't know the date of Miss Xu's birth?"

Xu Wanniang was confused for a moment, but she blurted out the answer, and she even made it clear about the date.

Zhao Mingzhi said quickly: "Although I was only born half a month earlier than you, after all, I was the first to land. This time I ask you to call you Miss Wan, how about it?"

Xu Wanniang subconsciously nodded, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Then how should I call Miss Zhao?"

After a few words, he was taken away.

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help smiling, and said: "When I was in my mother's womb, I loved to eat jujubes, and having jujubes would make me more peaceful, so I got a nickname when I was born, Zaoning, and you call me Zaoning."

Xu Wanniang heard it interesting, and couldn't help but continued: "Then do you still love jujubes after you're born?"

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and smiled: "Of course, it's just that I was ignorant when I was a child, and I was very picky. I only ate the one I ate when I was in the womb. If I changed it, I would not open my mouth and cry."

"Does the jujube taste different?"

"The taste is completely different, with a hint of sourness in the sweetness. The sweetness is sweet. Some dates are different, and some dates are dry and sweet. The seeds are large and fleshy. Crisp, no effort at all."

Zhao Mingzhi stretched out his right hand, took his left hand and cut off the length and width of the first knuckle of the index finger and ring finger of his right hand, and compared it to Xu Wanniang, saying: "It's just this big."

Her fingers are very beautiful, they are as straight and slender as spring onion when they shine out, as long as you ignore the color and really enjoy it, you won't get tired of it for half a day.

Xu Wanniang looked at the pink and tender nails and couldn't help comparing her own nails. She just felt that it would be a pity not to use such fingers to play the guqin, and murmured: "I have never seen anything like this."

For a moment, I didn't know whether I was talking about such a beautiful finger or such a big date.

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "The jujube is called Huanghua Dongzao. If there is a chance in the future, my family has something to do and I have time to ask someone to send you a basket to taste. Before it grows well, I secretly hid a few of them in my sleeves without telling my father, and knocked them with my front teeth at night."

Xu Wanniang's eyes widened and she asked, "Has no one noticed?"

"Of course there is—the nurse heard the creaking sound several times at night, and thought it was a mouse. She rummaged through the box and looked for it, and even brought cats and dogs in to catch it. She didn't find the mouse hair, but found a few under the bed. A jujube core."

Hearing this, Xu Wanniang had long forgotten what she was here tonight, and she only knew to ask: "Then what should I do next?"

Zhao Mingzhi said with a smile: "Everyone in the room couldn't figure it out, they wanted to take me out to sleep, but I took out the dates from the sachet and gave them to my mother - I was young at that time, and I couldn't say "whole". Words, one or two words popped out, but my mother thought I was young, so I knew how to be filial, she was so happy, and everyone yelled that I was three years old..."

When she said this, she stopped talking, the smile was still on her face, but she felt a little nostalgic in her heart.

At that time, my mother immediately put several dowries in her name first, and then urged my father to set aside a good farm and shop for her to save for her wealth...

Who would have imagined that the time would change later, and the last one would be so sparse that it would end here.

Zhao Mingzhi didn't dare to linger, so he collected his emotions, looked up and saw Xu Wanniang was smiling at the corner of her mouth, the tea was in her hand, and she didn't remember to put it to her mouth for a long time, she was already very absorbed in listening.

She smiled and asked, "Where is Miss Wan? Does she have a nickname?"

Xu Wanniang hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, blushing and said: "Actually, when I was young, I had a nickname, my father named it - called Da Niu - he was away all year round, and only came back once in a long time. When we met for the first time, I was already full. He is one year old, and he will call me every time he sees me. Although he is illiterate, he just learned to write my nickname, and someone sent it back..."

He whispered again: "Actually, I don't think it doesn't matter what the soil is. Although 'Da Niu' is not as unique as 'Zao Ning', after all, a cheap name is easy to support."

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and said, "Your nickname is just a family name to make you close—your father really loves you."

Xu Wanniang gave a "hmm" and said, "It's a pity that I haven't seen it a few times..."

Zhao Mingzhi was stunned.

Xu Wanniang said: "My family was born as a dart runner, and all I earn is life money. A few years ago, my father fell ill in the middle of the journey, but he was robbed by bandits again, and even the dead body was not brought back."

She looked gloomy, no longer in the mood to drink tea, and put the cup back on the table.

Zhao Mingzhi said: "In this way, you and I are in the same boat - only you still have your own mother, my parents have passed away..."

Xu Wanniang was stunned for a moment, but stretched out her hand unconsciously, took Zhao Mingzhi's left hand, and said with regret for a moment: "It's my fault, but it's hard for you to remember..."

Zhao Mingzhi smiled and said: "How can you say that, there are always many benefits when relatives are around, even if you encounter misfortune in the end, isn't just thinking about that good fortune enough to comfort you?"

Hearing this, Xu Wanniang couldn't help but nodded, and when she looked at Zhao Mingzhi again, she became a little closer.

The two talked for a long time, but the girl who went to get the bird's nest cup never came back.

Looking at his words and deeds, Zhao Mingzhi felt that what Xu Wanniang said was not the same as that of the second brother Li - he was indeed good-natured and very gentle and considerate, but he was not "not very talkative" at all.

He obviously talks a lot, and when he has nothing to say, he will find something to say by himself!

Seeing that the time was getting late, Zhao Mingzhi stopped delaying and said, "After talking for a long time, Wan Niang and I should be regarded as getting to know each other?"

Facing Zhao Mingzhi, Xu Wanniang couldn't say "no" at this moment, she just nodded.

She only felt that the girl Zhao brought back by the second elder brother——Zao Ning, was really different. Besides being interesting, she was also very cute. It is really hard to resist.

Is it true that a person's character has such a big influence?

As for appearance - she is so cute, I have already forgotten her appearance.

It's a pity that most men only know how to look at the outside and don't know what's inside. Such a good person, based on her background and appearance, may not be able to be recognized by others. It's really a waste of money.

Zhao Mingzhi didn't know what the little girl opposite was thinking, and continued: "Since that's the case—but I don't know who heard what Wanniang said just now, and what is the purpose of asking me?"

Xu Wanniang let out an "ah", looking a little at a loss.

Zhao Mingzhi reminded: "What do you mean when you ask me about my affair with Second Brother Li?"
