Daning's curiosity was not satisfied, so she became even angrier. She kicked him and ran into the house.
Zhao Yu packed up her books and snacks, and found it a little funny. Only Ji Daining was so overbearing in the world. She obviously didn't like him, but she asked him to put her first. If Zhao Yu asked this question, he was not sure if he could compare with Daining's bowl of octopus balls.
Zhao Yu really didn't have time to coax her this time. Everyone wanted to take a bite of the fat meat of Wudong, but he had no family background and insufficient financial resources. He only had the available connections left by the Shentu family.
Zhao Yu came back later and later every day. Dai Ning was immersed in the world of novels. At such times, she was very careless and almost forgot about the quarrel.
Dai Ning didn't need Zhao Yu to accompany her. As long as she had good food and drink, she could spend the day happily. Although Zhao Yu didn't have money now, he didn't treat her badly in terms of food.
Dai Ning had freshly squeezed soy milk for breakfast, and more than ten kinds of meals. She didn't bring a chef with her, so it was obvious that Zhao Yu prepared all of them.
Once she got up a little early and found that Zhao Yu's breakfast was only two bowls of simple porridge without even an egg. After eating, he still remembered to wash the fruit for her.
Dai Ning was watching him from the side, but Zhao Yu didn't notice and went out to start a new busy life.
Daning picked up a purple grape and looked at it for a while. She didn't know why, but she was no longer angry.
One night in early November, it was already midnight when Zhao Yu returned.
It started raining in Wudong, and the homestay was booked by their group of people. The only sound that could be heard between heaven and earth was the sound of rain.
Dai Ning likes to sleep on rainy days. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by Zhao Yu.
Dai Ning rubbed her eyes: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yu's hair was a little wet, and his face was heavy. Seeing Dai Ning wake up, he adjusted his expression, trying not to scare her: "Cui Yao is not right. Someone detected that his phone number was dialed to Taizhou several times."
Seeing her confused look, Zhao Yu probably didn't even remember who Cui Yao was. He sighed and said, "Cui Yao was the man who worked for Shentu Feng in the past. He has been behaving strangely lately."
Dai Ning reacted and was very confused.
Zhao Yu said, "It's not safe around me. Can you go home now? Have you resolved your brother's problem?"
Dai Ning shook her head: "Grandpa didn't let me go back."
Zhao Yu frowned, and after a moment, he made a decision: "You go back to Xinghua Village now and stay with Zhao Ping and An An. Although Xinghua Village is isolated and backward, you have bodyguards with you, and they can take good care of you. There is a mountain road in the village, and no one knows it except Zhao Ping and me. If anything happens, I will find a way to notify Zhao Ping, and Zhao Ping will take you to hide there."
Dai Ning hugged her knees and asked him, "Is it serious?"
Zhao Yu paused and nodded.
No matter how powerful he was, it was still too difficult for him to fight against a group of old foxes due to the lack of funds and experience this year. Cui Yao's behavior made him feel a strong sense of crisis. He even felt that he could not get out of this situation unscathed, so he decided to send Dai Ning away in the middle of the night.
Even Lan Rongrong felt a little regretful. On the one hand, she was scared and wanted to leave, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to leave the Wudongbao Mine.
Qingtuan had two dark circles under his eyes and said to Daining, "See, this is why Zhao Yu refused to fight for the Wudong land before. You insisted on instigating him to fight. I'm afraid he will really fail when facing Shentu Feng this time. Shentu Feng is not as easy to deal with as his nephew Shentu She. The old fox is in Taizhou and is probably watching the show, observing the Lan brothers and sisters and the male protagonist."
Dai Ning didn't feel scared, instead she felt excited. After being idle in Wudong for so long, the thing she had been waiting for finally came.
Once Zhao Yu faces Shentu Feng, he will definitely lose something.
Zhao Yu said, "Put on your clothes. I'm going to contact the boat and leave now."
As he spoke, he went out to make a phone call. Daning put on her winter skirt and thick socks, then went out to see heavy rain all over the sky, with raindrops hitting the eaves.
The wind is blowing. This time has passed so quickly that winter has arrived without us noticing.
I just don’t know when the first snow will fall.
Dai Ning stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops falling from the eaves, and Zhao Yu held her hand: "You will catch a cold, don't do this."
Zhao Yu found her cloak and wrapped her tightly: "Let's go to the ferry first."
Everything happened in a hurry tonight, making Qingtuan very nervous.
The current plot is no longer the original plot. Its contractor is a troublemaker and has messed up everything. The current plot is the one designed by Dai Ning.
Du Tian gave up on the hero and wanted to make a name for herself in this book without knowing her identity as the "Second Miss of the Ji Family". Like Lan Rongrong, she also wanted to take advantage of Wudong. The original heroine began to grow up, and her heart was much crueler than Lan Rongrong. Du Tian instigated her admirer Cui Yao to rebel, and wanted Zhao Yu, Lan Rongrong and Shen Tu Feng to confront each other.
Qingtuan is really scared. It turns out that it is so simple for humans to change their attitudes. Du Tian was a big supporter of the male protagonist at the beginning, but now she is willing to become his enemy for the sake of profit.
When we arrived at the ferry, there was indeed a boat waiting.
Zhao Yu sent her up, and he was half wet from the rain while he was taking care of Dai Ning. Dai Ning was refreshing, and the Michelia flowers in Wudong were beaten by the wind and rain, but Dai Ning was still as beautiful as ever.
In the midst of the violent storm, she looked so neat and beautiful as if she were covered with a layer of lustrous light.
Zhao Yu looked at her for a while and prepared to get off the boat.
Dai Ning grabbed his clothes and asked in confusion: "Aren't you leaving?"
Zhao Yu turned around and said in silence for a moment: "No, you know I can't leave."
From the moment he captured Shentu She, took all of his connections, and attempted to seize the Wudong Treasure Mine, he could no longer escape unscathed.
Daning met his eyes: "Do you regret it?"
Raindrops fell on the river, creating ripples. Zhao Yu squatted down in front of her and stared at her: "Ji Daining, I don't know if you have feelings for me, and I don't know how many years you will remember me if I really die. You are naive and spoiled, have a bad personality, and tell lies all the time. After I met you, I hated you, despised you, and was angry at you, but I don't regret it."
Dai Ning's eyes widened and she said unconvincedly, "You are talking nonsense. Are they that bad?"
Zhao Yu touched her cheek. Perhaps it was the sound of rain that made her realize that Zhao Yu was a little sad.
Daning didn't understand what kind of emotion this was. In order to comfort him and tell him to be more positive and not so pessimistic, she placed her lips on his.
Zhao Yu held the back of her head and deepened the kiss. He felt ridiculous and sad. He knew something was wrong, but he was still addicted to this feeling. Under the heavy rain, he kissed her, wishing she could have a soft heart.
Dai Ning's bodyguard accidentally saw this scene, was stunned for a long time, and ran to the bow of the ship in fear.
Oh my God, what did he see!
Their eldest daughter was kissed by that poor boy... Should we tell Uncle Qian? Should we!
Zhao Yu let go of Dai Ning. Her eyes were clear and bright, like an outsider watching him sink. The confusion in Zhao Yu's eyes faded a little. He wiped her lips, stood up and said, "Goodbye."
He became that solemn man again, with only a hint of tenderness remaining in his eyes.
Dai Ning watched his back disappear at the ferry, raised her hand and touched her lips, her eyes full of confusion.
—
In early winter, the first snow fell in Xinghua Village.
The village chief's daughter cheered, "Miss Ji is back!"
The happiest people to hear the news were the children of the Zhao family. Zhao Anan, a little kid, ran all the way from home to the entrance of the village. Zhao Ping said helplessly, "Anan, run slower."
Zhao Anan ran through the thin snow, her face flushed, and waved at the people in the distance: "Miss! Grandpa Qian!"
The snow was falling lightly. Dai Ning was happy under the umbrella and beckoned her with her finger: "Come here."
She called the little girl like a puppy, and she ran over and wanted to hug her.
Daning pushed her away in disgust.
"Why are you thin again? Did Zhao Ping give you nothing to eat? This ragged coat of yours is from your childhood, right? Didn't your brother ask someone to bring back the money? Go away and don't hug me, Zhao An'an, you look like someone found in a garbage dump."
Zhao Anan was a little shy because of what she said, and she could only smile foolishly: "Miss, where is my brother? Why hasn't he come back?"
Dai Ning said: "He said he doesn't want you anymore."
Zhao Anan was dumbfounded, wondering whether to cry or not. Uncle Qian said helplessly: "Don't cry, Zhao Anan, the young lady was just joking with you. Your brother is doing big things to make money for you, and he will come back to see you soon."
"Really?"
"Grandpa Qian won't lie to you."
Zhao Anan finally stopped crying. She rubbed her nose and said, "Miss, it's cold outside. Come home with me first."
Dai Ning turned her umbrella boringly, and snowflakes fell from her umbrella. She walked in front of the little girl and returned to Zhao Yu's home.
Such a small shabby house is drafty even in winter. If it weren't for the plan, Daning would never want to come back.
After not seeing each other for almost two months, Zhao Ping had grown taller. Perhaps because it was cold and he hadn't gone out, he wasn't as dark as in summer. He was naturally happy to see Dai Ning.
"Miss, why hasn't my brother come back?"
Zhao Anan was afraid of the eldest lady's answer, so she quickly told her second brother seriously: "My eldest brother makes a lot of money in the city."
Dai Ning looked around the house inside and out. The two little ones were well taught by Zhao Yu. Although the house was old, it was clean everywhere. Only they themselves looked too shabby.
Zhao Ping's ankles were exposed and red from the cold. He and Zhao Anan looked bloated, but in fact they were wearing old clothes that were not warm at all.
Daning pushed open the door inside.
Zhao Ping had no time to stop her: "Miss!"
The middle-aged woman in the room looked over helplessly: "Miss Ji."
This was the first time that Dai Ning met Zhao Yu's parents. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, but fortunately there was no bad smell, and the things were neatly arranged. Their poor and hard life made them look pale and thin.
There were two old quilts on the bed, which looked just like that. The whole room was chilly, without any warmth at all.
What kind of life are we living
"Aunt," Dai Ning asked in confusion, "Didn't Zhao Yu ask Shuanzi to bring you some money? Why didn't you buy new clothes and quilts? Could it be that Shuanzi embezzled the money?"
This was the first time Zhao's mother met her.
It was snowing outside. The eldest lady was wearing a red cloak with the soft fur fluttering on the edge of the cloak. She was so stunningly beautiful that even Zhao's mother was stunned for a moment.
Mother Zhao said awkwardly, "No, no, Shuanzi gave us all the money. We have clothes and quilts. I heard that Yu Ge'er is working hard outside. If he needs money, what will Yu Ge do if we spend the money?"
Dai Ning shook her head, not knowing what to say. What a bunch of idiots.
"Where are your medicines? Did you buy them?"
Zhao's mother nodded: "Xiaoping has been buying it."
That's good, at least there's medicine to drink and she won't die. Dai Ning was not good at talking to such an inferior woman, she closed the door and said, "You guys take a rest."
Zhao Ping was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Miss, my mother is not in good health. You can ask me if you have anything."
"You're so ugly, I won't ask you."
Zhao Ping: “…” He began to doubt his life.
As soon as the eldest daughter came back, the Zhao family immediately became lively. Uncle Qian knew that the little ancestor couldn't stand the cold, so he quickly prepared a hot water bottle and a charcoal basin.
After a long period of hard work, the original house was finally made warm and comfortable, and the carpet was replaced.
Dai Ning sat down comfortably and suddenly said, "Uncle Qian, please get a few charcoal basins in the room for those two skinny kids and Zhao Yu's parents. Throw away the clothes and quilts. It's an eyesore to me."
A gratified smile appeared in Uncle Qian's eyes. He responded and asked someone to exchange things.
For the young boys and girls of the Zhao family, this year is the warmest winter for them.
Zhao Anan was wearing a brand new red cotton-padded jacket and was rarely so happy. She had always been self-conscious and introverted, but when it snowed this year, she ran out to play with the children in the village.
Erya sniffed and said enviously, "Zhao Anan, your clothes are so beautiful!"
Zhao Anan blushed and nodded: "Of course, it's the same color as the eldest lady."
Upon hearing this, the friends all exclaimed “Wow”.
Zhao Anan was extremely happy. She had hardly ever had a good life since she was born. Her memories of her life at the age of six were only of barren mountains, hot summers, cold winters, and long dark nights.
It’s different now. She dresses warmly and even changed her quilt to a new space quilt.
The space is soft and has the smell of the sun.
She liked the eldest lady, even though she often teased her, but her love for Dai Ning was almost engraved in Zhao Anan's childhood memory and life.
There is no need to work in winter, so a group of children go home after playing.
Zhao Anan knocked on Dai Ning's door holding a plastic bag.
Dai Ning opened the door, and Zhao Anan said, "Miss, this is for you."
"What?" A dark mass.
Zhao Anan quickly hugged Dai Ning and ran away shyly.
Dai Ning opened the black plastic bag, revealing a cute snowman. She looked at the snowman, snorted, and took it into the house to find something to keep it.
