When the children came in and saw the delicious food on the table, they quickly asked someone to wash their hands and sat on the stools obediently looking at them.
"Okay, let's eat."
After taking one bite, Yang Lele couldn't stop. It was really delicious, especially the fish. After eating, several children complained that Yang Lele had taken away all their favorite fish, which made Yang Lele very embarrassed. .
After all the children went out to play, Yang Lele looked at Ning Mengyao and said, "I really want to learn to cook from you. If I don't learn to your level, I'll be satisfied even if I learn a small part of it."
"I'll teach you when I have time."
"Really?"
The two of them finished cleaning up, placed chairs and talked in the yard. After a while, several women came in with fruits grown at home, looking a little embarrassed.
Yang Lele knew these people. Their children were learning calligraphy from Ning Mengyao before. But after these messy things happened, they listened to the slander and followed those people to speak ill of Ning Mengyao. Because of this, Yang Lele was very fond of them. I don't like it.
"What's the matter?" Ning Mengyao didn't say anything when she saw the visitor coming in. Ning Mengyao no longer had the ease and wantonness she had when talking to Yang Lele just now, but instead had a cold silence.
"That girl Mengyao..."
Ning Mengyao's attitude made everyone hesitate, not knowing what to say.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Yang Lele couldn't stand it anymore and looked at them and asked.
"Mengyao, we came here just to ask, can we let our children continue to read?" After one of them asked, the others looked at Ning Mengyao with eager eyes.
Looking up at them, Ning Mengyao spoke after a while: "I don't have that much time and energy."
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale. What does this mean? Is this because they are unwilling to teach their children how to read
"But before you..."
"You also said it, that was before." Ning Mengyao looked at their looks like they were struck by lightning and said indifferently.
At first, she was willing to teach those children because of the desire for knowledge in their eyes, and because she wanted to find something to do for herself to occupy her time. In addition, she wanted to integrate into the village.
She spent her own money to buy books, paper, pen and ink, and she didn't accept their help. But after what happened, she didn't like the attitude of these people.
She didn't mean to ask these people to defend her, but when Yang Xiuer ruined her reputation, they detained their children and refused to let them come here to learn how to read. If that was the case, why did they come here now
"Mengyao, we know this is our fault, but... just..."
"No need to say anything." Ning Mengyao shook her head and interrupted the other party's words.
They also have children who can read, so why do other families persist but not them? In the final analysis, it is still the thought of looking down on others that is at work.
She can also understand, after all, the words Yang Xiuer said are not so nice, so she can understand their thoughts, but this incident also gave her a reminder that if you treat others with all your heart, others may not treat you the same way. you.
Therefore, Ning Mengyao does not intend to continue teaching other children in the village how to read, no matter what happens to these people in the end.
Gouwazi's mother, Mrs. Du, saw that they were all talking in such a condescending manner, and Ning Mengyao was still here to fetch Qiao from them, she immediately became dissatisfied, and a sharp and harsh voice came out: "If you don't want to teach, you won't teach, isn't it just a Dirty? What's so big about it." He said and turned around to leave with the vegetables he picked.
As he walked, he said that even if these vegetables were taken back to feed the dogs, they would not be given to those ungrateful people.
Ning Mengyao listened to Du Shi's words quietly without refuting. It was precisely because of this that Du Shi's words were even more unpleasant.
After Mrs. Du kept talking about Ning Mengyao's ungratefulness, Ning Mengyao suddenly said: "I don't know what kind of kindness you have to me. Let me listen to it and see if I remember it wrong."
Originally, Du Shi was a little proud of not hearing Ning Mengyao refute her words. When she was proud, Ning Mengyao said such words, which directly stuck Du Shi's voice in her throat.
