"Aren’t you the one who finds it troublesome and doesn’t want to learn?" Ji Ying said with a laugh, her words flowing without restraint, "Nianhua, it’s impossible for a person to learn everything."
From childhood to adulthood, Xu Nianhua had no talent in household chores or making clothes.
Ji Ying had once thought about teaching Xu Nianhua to sew, but Nianhua ended up with her fingers full of needle pricks, so Ji Ying eventually gave up on that idea.
"That’s true, I have my strengths too." Xu Nianhua thought about her ability to earn money and felt a surge of pride. She said, "Mom, in the future, I’ll earn a lot of money and let you and Dad enjoy a comfortable life!"
"Oh, did my Nianhua eat honey today?" Ji Ying’s smile was nearly reaching her ears.
"Mom, I really mean it!"
Xu Nianhua blinked as she looked at Ji Ying and, clutching Ji Ying’s hand, she said, "It wasn’t easy for you and Dad to raise us. When you get old, my brothers and I will definitely take good care of you and make sure you live well."
"Very good, very good, it’s enough that you all have this intention. All your Dad and I hope for is that you three siblings have smooth sailing ahead. If you’re happy, your Dad and I are happy too," Ji Ying, holding her hand, said, "The most important thing for a girl is to marry into a good family. Nianhua, Mom knows you’re definitely going to college in the future, but, there is something I still want to say to you."
"Choosing a husband, you must not just listen to his sweet words, but rather watch what he does. Sweet nothings are easy to say, just a move of the lips, but if his actions do not treat you well, you must never settle for such a man!"
Ji Ying said these earnest and heartfelt words, which she had wanted to say to Xu Nianhua for a while, especially since Nianhua was still in high school. Just a few days ago, Zhong Juan had a miscarriage, and Gao Jianshe even blamed her for not being able to keep the baby.
When Ji Ying heard about it, she felt that Zhong Juan had married the wrong person. Initially, when Zhong Juan foolishly followed Gao Jianshe, their relationship became known to everyone, and when she married into the Gao Family, she was looked down upon by her in-laws.
She worried about her daughter, so beautiful. If a boy were to pursue her, she’d have to keep her eyes wide open and not be foolishly deceived.
"Cough, Mom, I’m still young." Xu Nianhua hadn’t expected Ji Ying to talk about this; she cleared her throat and said, "I don’t want to get married; I just want to stay by your side."
What’s so good about getting married? Staying by her parents’ side, looking after nieces and nephews in the future—wouldn’t that be a wonderful life?
"Which girl doesn’t get married?"
Ji Ying thought Xu Nianhua was just shy and didn’t realize that Nianhua was serious; she had never even thought about getting married.
"Yicheng, if you keep pursuing a girl , how long will it take before she realizes you like her?" Cheng Hao felt almost desperate.
Just the other day, Pei Yicheng gave shoes as a gift and didn’t say much else. Now, with the New Year approaching, he hadn’t thought about giving another gift as a New Year’s present, nor had he shown any interest in seeing her.
Sometimes, Cheng Hao wondered if Pei Yicheng even knew what liking someone meant.
"Yicheng, you need to tell her if you like her, how will she know otherwise?" Cheng Hao sounded like a love expert.
Pei Yicheng glanced at him and said, "You have time to worry about my affairs, you might as well try your luck outside. You might just run into the girl who makes your heart skip a beat."
"Ah, don’t even mention it, Gaoliang County is not that big; finding one person is really too difficult."
When Cheng Hao thought about that Little Fairy he encountered last time, he felt it was extremely hard to find someone, especially since he didn’t even know her name.
