Chapter 80
Cheng Miaomiao can tell this story a hundred times.

She moved her feet, leaned close to Madam Yu and raised her head, eyes flickering, and said earnestly: "Do you know the story of waiting for a rabbit? A Niang said that you are a scholar, you must know, right?"

Without waiting for her to respond, she whispered again: "I just found out today! After we found out, we found a tree stump on the mountain and squatted. We didn't expect a rabbit to bump into it. The book said it was true. It's all true."

Cheng Miaomiao sighed sincerely: "Although this rabbit is stupid, it tastes good. You must taste it!"

Madam Yu: "..."

I have never seen a child who can talk like this.

She hadn't said a word yet, but the kid just babbled so much that he couldn't even begin to speak.No matter how unreasonable she is on weekdays, she can't show a cold face to such a half-grown child.

The Zheng family's family style is very strict. Even if there are only Yu Niangzi and Zheng Tongsheng left in the family, they still abide by the rules.

Under this kind of teaching, Zheng Tongsheng has been steady and introverted since he was a child. The children of relatives at home also thought their house was boring, and they dared not speak when they came here.
Zheng Tongsheng thought the little girl in front of him was very interesting.

Madam Yu only thought she was noisy.

"Thank you, mother, for me. You don't need to give us any more in the future. We can't finish it. You can just keep it for yourself."

After finishing speaking, she poured the rabbit meat from the bowl onto the plate.

He got up and went to the next room to get a red apple and handed it to her. Cheng Miaomiao just held the bowl in one hand and the apple in the other.

He raised his face and looked at her with those black and white eyes. Although this aunt always looked serious and fierce with a straight face, she was actually very kind, and she was not what she seemed on the outside at all.

Cheng Miaomiao said happily: "Thank you, auntie! You and your brother must eat meat, it's really delicious!"

She looked like a very well-behaved child, Madam Yu felt a little relieved, she said what the elders all over the world would say to the younger generation, and said politely: "You can come to play again next time."

Even if it is Ji Huai who is standing here, he will know that this is just casual talk.

This is just polite talk for grown-ups.

But it was Cheng Miaomiao who stayed here now. Her eyes lit up instantly when she heard Mrs. Yu's warm invitation.

This, this is the first time someone invited her to play at home!
She is a sincere child, since someone warmly invites her, she will never take this as a polite word.

Cheng Miaomiao glanced at the sky outside, and said happily: "I'll come tomorrow!"

Madam Yu: "..."

Madam Yu frowned, she didn't really want to come, did she?

·
After returning home, Cheng Miaomiao happily announced the news to her parents.

——She's going to visit Aunt Yu's house tomorrow!

Ye Ning was stunned when she heard that, she had relatively little contact with Niangzi Yu but she also knew that this was a difficult person to get along with. She had come to say hello when she first moved in, but she still liked to ignore her.

How did he become a kind person with a cold face and a warm heart when he came to his daughter?

She looked at Cheng Lin, wanting to confirm the authenticity of Miaomiao's words from him.

Cheng Lin didn't expect that Mrs. Yu's image in the eyes of his daughter would be like this.

In the early years, when he was still young, Mrs. Yu was actually not as serious as she is now. People in the village praised her as worthy of being a talented lady, gentle and dignified.

But since Zheng Xiucai drowned and died on the way to the exam, Yu Niangzi began to become gloomy and unkind.

After that, she put her whole body on her son Zheng Bai and treated him very strictly. She didn't let him play with the children in the village since he was a child, and only let him stay at home to read and practice calligraphy, so that he could become a scholar like his father.

Gradually, people in the village didn't like to associate with Madam Yu very much.

Some children even called her an old witch behind her back.

Cheng Lin thought for a while, racked his brains and said, "Sister Yu is actually a nice person. I haven't seen her beat or scold a child in these years."

Because the children all unilaterally avoided her.

As he said that, he lowered his head to look at Cheng Miaomiao again, and saw that her eyes were shining brightly, with anticipation written on the left side of her face and desire to go on the right side, she was so cute that it was impossible to refuse her.

"It's not impossible to go, but you can't disturb your brother's study."

Zheng Tongsheng should take the exam this year.

Cheng Lin pulled this matter out of his mind, and emphasized: "My brother is going to be a scholar this year, so don't bother him if you go to play."

Cheng Miaomiao immediately assured, "I'm super obedient!"

After hearing this, Ye Ning had no choice but to put away his worries and said, "I happened to pick some peaches today, and you can bring some over tomorrow, just as a thank you for the apples."

As for human feelings, they come out one after another.

Ye Ning still believed in the common vision of the father and daughter, so he didn't say anything more.

Cheng Miaomiao was very happy. When she woke up the next day, she went to Zeng's house to study for a while as usual, and then she finished spot checks. Then she talked about the fact that she was invited to play. Zeng Ziji was deeply impressed by Yu Niangzi's black face. refused to follow.

In the end, only Ji Huai was willing to go with her.

Cheng Miaomiao held a few washed peaches in her hands, and walked with a breeze, and soon arrived in front of Zheng's house.

At a glance, he saw Zheng Bai who was chopping firewood in the yard.

Even if he has been admitted to Tongsheng, there is no way to change the current situation of poverty in the family for the time being. When his father was admitted to Xiucai, the family situation was getting better, but it returned to the original state as soon as he died.

The academy only has one vacation per month, and the total is only three days, and it is already time-consuming to go back and forth.

So he saves two or three months of leave to use together, and he can help the family with more work when he comes back.

Cheng Miaomiao stood at the door and waved hello: "Brother Zheng, we're here to play!"

She bounced into the yard and boasted, "Yesterday it was dark and I didn't see clearly. Now I see that your yard is so clean and tidy!"

Zheng Bo: "??"

Looking at the two half-grown children in front of him, Zheng Bai was still a little dazed.

My first reaction was, is there such a good-looking child in the village?

Then I thought, did she really come to play?
When he realized that there were already many peaches stuffed in his hand, Cheng Miaomiao looked around, looked around but saw no one, and said, "Brother, where is Aunt Yu?"

Zheng Bo didn't expect that she actually came to find his mother.

With a complicated mood, she said: "Mother, she went to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, you go in and sit down for a while."

Cheng Miaomiao nodded after hearing what he said and followed him into the house.

The main room of the Zheng family is no different from the houses of ordinary houses in the village, except that there are three tablets on the niche right above the middle, which are the tablets of Zheng Xiucai and his parents.

Zheng Bai beckoned them to sit down and poured them another glass of water.

Ji Huai thanked him lightly.

When Cheng Miaomiao saw him, he remembered that his mother had said that his father was a scholar, and asked curiously with blinking eyes: "Brother, is it easy for Tongsheng to take the test? Is it easy for scholar to take the test? Why can't I take the test?"
