As Fan Xiuzhi was taken away by plainclothes police, Old Master Ning’s birthday banquet came to an end.
When Ning Shaoyun saw Zhu Yuanhai and the others off, Ning Shaoyun pushed open the door of the study.
The old man is giving orders to the people in Hainan, asking them to sell off all the land in the South China Sea.
After hanging up the phone, he felt as if his body was hollowed out, leaning back in the armchair tiredly.
Seeing Ning Shao, Old Master said numbly, "What are you doing here?"
Ning Shao put down a file bag and said, "Here's a real birthday gift for you." He said softly, "I'm sorry for disrupting your birthday party."
The old man sneered, "You were ruthless when you did it before, why are you pretending to be so hypocritical now? Do you really think of me as your grandfather?"
"After all, you have taught and protected us since we were young." Ning Shao said calmly, "The bottom line and principles cannot be broken, but it is indeed my fault to disrupt your birthday party. Take care, Grandpa."
A long time after he left, Old Master Ning sighed and finally picked up the file bag.
There was a way to remedy the mess left by Fan Xiuzhi and the production line of Ning's Company that was sold because of the crazy expansion project.
With these, although the Ning family's company will shrink a lot, if Ning Shaoyang can start over steadily, it may not be impossible to regain its glory.
The old man looked through the window at Ning Shaoyun and Ning Shaoxun standing at the gate and closed his eyes in regret. If he had been fair and impartial to them back then, would things have been completely different
Watching the police car leave, Ning Shaoyun was still on edge, "She can't escape, right?"
Ning Shao put his arm around her shoulders and patted her, "So many people heard it, even the Fan family can't save her."
"Don't worry, everything is fine."
Ning Shaoyun let out a long breath, "Well, let's go home, I miss Chenchen."
Rong Xin was driving, Ning Shao's eyes fell on Xia Mian who kept rubbing his ears, "What's wrong?"
"My ear hurts..." Xia Mian touched his ear unconsciously again and made a subconscious "hiss" sound.
"Let me see." Ning Shaoxin stretched out his arm to push her hand away, and found that the earlobe with the earring was swollen and transparent, so that the ear clip was stuck in the flesh and was difficult to remove.
Ning Shaoyun also saw it and said in surprise, "Oh, what's going on? I didn't notice it."
Xia Mian thought that she had been very nervous today, let alone Ning Shaoyun. She herself had just noticed that her ears were painful and itchy.
Ning Shao pushed away Xia Mian's hand that was reaching out to her again, leaned forward slightly and took a closer look, "Maybe she's allergic."
"Tsk," he slapped Xia Mian's dishonest hand down, "Don't move!"
Xia Mian said uncomfortably, "It hurts!"
Rong Xin just happened to stop his car in front of them. Ning Shao said to Ning Shaoyun, "Sister, you sit in the front."
Then he turned to Xia Mian and said, "Get the carriage." And warned, "Don't touch it, the carriage will be taken for you."
It's not a big deal if he doesn't touch it, but the more he tries not to touch it, the more Xia Mian wants to touch it. Can't he just pick it off right away
However, Ning Shao was a little scary today, and she didn't dare to provoke him.
When Xia Mian was about to lose control of himself, Ning Shao finally took out a small medicine box from the trunk.
Xia Mian asked in horror, "Does it take bleeding to pick it off?"
Rong Xin started the car and teased her, "Yes, it's so swollen, I guess I'll have to perform surgery on you. There's a set of scalpels in the medicine box."
Xia Mian couldn't help but cover her ears again. Ning Shao glared at her and asked, "Can you be more obedient?"
He quickly found an alcohol cotton ball to disinfect his hands, and said to Xia Mian, "Come here, I'll get it for you."
Xia Mian just realized how particular the doctor was. She smiled and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, it hurts."
Ning Shao just reached out and touched her earlobe, and Xia Mian cried out in pain, "... Be gentle, it really hurts..."
Ning Shaoyang said unhappily, "Are you afraid of the pain? It's not like it will swell up all of a sudden. Why are you crying out now?"
Although he was wearing this outfit, his hand movements were much gentler.
Xia Mian's neck was stiff and he dared not move. "The atmosphere is so tense today, how can I think about anything else?"
Feeling Ning Shao's slightly cool fingers, Xia Mian held his breath, already prepared for the pain.
As a result, I didn't feel anything at all, and soon I felt a sense of relief in my ear, and the earring was taken off.
She turned her head and looked at Ning Shao, praising him, "You are indeed an excellent surgeon, amazing!"
Ning Shao was too lazy to pay attention to her, "Switch sides."
"Oh," Xia Mian turned his head while sitting in his seat, "How do I change this? I can't turn my neck 180 degrees."
Rong Xin, who was driving in front, was amused by her words and gave her some advice, "Wouldn't it be okay for you to lie down on his legs and hold him there? Why do you have to turn around? That would be inconvenient for him."
"Good idea," Xia Mian asked with a look in her eyes, "Is it okay?"
Ning Shao refused, "No."
"Alright!" Xia Mian didn't care what he said at all, and slammed down on him with great force. Her earlobe, which had just had its earrings removed, rubbed against his trousers, and she screamed in pain.
Ning Shao's legs were hurt by the blow, and he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, "It's what you deserve!"
Xia Mian won a game, but he didn't care. He laughed and said, "I'm counting on you, Doctor Ning."
Ning Shaoxing rolled his eyes, and Xia Mian finally realized that his restrained hostility had dissipated a lot, and he began to become the usual Ning Shaoxing.
However, this posture is indeed very convenient. Ning Shaoxing's movements are much faster than before.
Disdainfully, she raised her head and pushed it away, "Okay."
Xia Mian saw the two beautiful earrings in his hand and said with some regret, "They are very beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't wear them."
"Looks like I need another ear piercing."
Without thinking about this modern and rough method of ear piercing, Xia Mian felt that she might not have the courage to do it in the short term.
Ning Shao looked at her two swollen and shiny earlobes and was speechless.
When the car drove into the alley, Rong Xin, who was driving in front, suddenly laughed out loud, "Sister Yun, those are not your children."
Ning Shaoyun couldn't help laughing, "."
At this moment, she finally took off the spiked armor she had worn for a day, returning to her gentle and elegant self, Ning Shaoyun.
Xia Mian curiously poked his head in to take a look and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, they are really getting better and better at playing."
In the era when Ultraman and Marvel heroes were not yet popular, all children dreamed of becoming heroes.
At the gate of the yard, Mao Huizhu, Chenchen and Xiaofeng were each covered with a torn blue checkered bed sheet. Someone must have helped them to take out a bed sheet.
Mao Huizhu's two pigtails were tied with two thin cloth strips to serve as ribbons. Chenchen was similar, with a red belt from somewhere tied around his forehead.
The two men each held a bamboo stick as a sword, wielding it vigorously, dubbing to themselves and shaking their heads vigorously, trying to show the "ribbons" and "headband" on their heads, competing for the position of leader of the martial arts world.
As for Xiao Feng…
It seemed that this little fellow had once again become their prop. The "headband" tied on his head was crookedly tied, which was obviously the same as the one on Chenchen's head. The "ribbon" tied on his aho-polygon was exactly the same as the one on Huizhu's head.
He was leaning on a bamboo stick, as the only spectator at the martial arts conference, watching the two masters demonstrate their skills.
Xiao Feng was the first to react when he heard the sound of the car. His eyes lit up and he ran over here with his short legs, "Auntie!"
Chenchen and Huizhu also took a break and ran towards the front.
Looking at the small shape of the cat, several people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xia Mian got out of the car, picked up Xiao Feng, and pulled the cloth that was flattened by his aho-man hair, "Who made this for you?"
Xiao Feng seemed to have just remembered something in his head. He raised his little arm and touched her smiling eyes, "Aunt Huilan."
Chenchen also rushed over, hugged Ning Shaoyun's legs, pulled the "headband" on his head and said proudly, "Mom, mine was also made by Aunt Huilan!"
Ning Shaoyun stared at the red belt on his forehead and decided to wear a new one. She probably couldn't stand wearing the old one.
"Where did this come from?"
Chenchen said, "Grandma Wei bought it."
Xiao Feng also touched his forehead and adjusted his headband, "It was cut by Aunt Huilan."
Xia Mian couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
Then he quickly discovered that there was something wrong with Xia Mian's ears. He frowned and carefully touched Xia Mian's ears, saying distressedly, "Auntie?"
Xia Mian was immediately melted by his cuteness, "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Feng, just blow it and it won't hurt."
The little child leaned close to her ear and blew gently a few times. Xia Mian's ears were itchy and she couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng knew that Xia Mian was fine, so he leaned over and blew it again unexpectedly. Seeing that Xia Mian closed her eyes because of the itch, Xiao Feng suddenly burst into giggles.
Xia Mian looked at him in disbelief and tickled his belly, "You little guy, you can actually make people laugh?!"
Xiao Feng twisted her body and begged for mercy, "Auntie, Auntie, haha..."
Mao Huilan ran out of the house and said, "I heard your voices. Come home quickly, Sister Ning, Doctor Ning, Brother Rong, have dinner at our house today. My mom and Aunt Wei have prepared a lot of delicious food!"
Ning Shaoxuan and Ning Shaoyun were not polite either. Rong Xin was even more outgoing. After arriving home, he consciously moved the table, stools and took the dishes and chopsticks. Looking at the table full of home-cooked dishes, he felt hungry.
Xia Mian's little hero costume was taken off, and Mao Huizhu even instructed, "Sister Mian, put it in the closet, we will wear it tomorrow."
Xia Mian laughed.
When the food was served on the table, Mao Huimei and Mao Zhishan also returned from get off work.
Mao Zhishan smiled shyly when he saw guests at home, "Xiaoyun, Doctor Ning, and President Rong."
Rong Xin was still taking the bowl and chopsticks and imitating Mao Huizhu to steal the sausage meat. When he heard the sound and looked up to see Mao Zhishan, he was stunned for a moment.
"Wow, uncle." He exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle, you have changed so much. No wonder Director Li asked me to film the next movie with you without hesitation!"
Mao Zhishan couldn't help laughing, with a gleam in his eyes.
He has recently started filming, and the director and crew members have been very patient with him. The well-known star even taught him some experience.
When he played the role of Long Wentian, who was admired by everyone in front of the camera, Mao Zhishan felt that the sky was high and the earth was vast. His past life was just a tiny thing in the vast ocean. There must be more wonderful scenery in higher and farther places.
Rong Xin covered his eyes and said, "Uncle, when you recover to your prime, you will have many film offers, believe me!"
Mao Zhishan smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
"What are you thanking me for?" Rong Xin said, "I should thank you even more, Uncle. If you are sure you want to continue filming, then you can sign a contract with our company. Then you can take a more professional approach."
Mao Zhishan nodded without hesitation this time, "Okay."
"Okay, it's time to eat!" Aunt Wei came in with a plate, and everyone immediately smelled a rich, sweet aroma.
Especially the little kids, they all sniffed like little dogs.
Mao Huizhu asked excitedly, "Grandma Wei, what?"
"This is the egg cake your mother made." Aunt Wei said with a smile, "This is the one Xia Mian gave me. Let's try it today. If it works, we can sell it."
Ning Shaoyun asked, "Aren't you selling skewers? Why are you selling this again?"
Mao Huilan said angrily, "In the compound at the entrance of the alley, Fatty Wang's mother has also started selling skewers. They sell them cheaper than my family. The sales at the stall have dropped a lot in the past few days."
"My mom is planning to add some other things to sell."
Ning Shaoyun was busy painting every day and didn't really know about this matter. She asked worriedly, "Does this have a big impact?"
"Not much." Xia Wenyue came in with a bottle of red wine and tapped Mao Huilan on the head, "What's there to be angry about? There's no rule that if we sell it first, others can't sell it. They don't want to steal our things."
"But she is deliberately trying to steal our business," Mao Huilan said, "otherwise she could just sell it to Longcheng Middle School."
Mao Huimei said, "Don't be angry. That family may not be able to last long. I heard from the neighbors that their family just looks at what others do to make money and they do the same thing, but they are not honest and basically can't last long."
"That's true. Huizhu's brother is also dead. The food she sells is not as delicious as ours." Mao Huilan was a little distressed again, "But it's much cheaper. There are fewer people in our family recently."
"Mom, why don't we lower the price too? She won't be able to sell it if she runs out of money."
Xia Wenyue was daunted, "Why are we bullying her? After all, she didn't steal or rob. If she can beat us with her real ability, I'll admit defeat!"
Mao Huilan saw that Xia Wenyue was really angry, so she stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything else.
"We won't lower our prices," Xia Wenyue saw that she had listened carefully and began to explain, "Xia Mian, you're right. With our taste and quality, if we lower the price, won't they admit that we are on the same level as them?"
"What they did actually gave me a wake-up call." Xia Wenyue simply told the children, "We can't be satisfied with the status quo. If someone does better, we'll be really finished."
"Business will be slow when the weather gets cold anyway, so I'll sell some of these along with egg cakes and biscuits."
"In a few months, your father will go to the south to film a movie. Xia Mian Chuan Chuan Xiang happened to have its origin there. I'd like to go there and take a look, find some delicious ingredients, and learn from their experience."
Mao Huizhu immediately said, "I want one too!"
Xia Wenyue tapped her forehead and said, "Just obey me first."
Aunt Wei first gave each of the little ones an egg cake to fill their mouths, and then the four children simply gathered together and nibbled on it with relish.
Only then did Xia Wenyue open the red wine.
Ning Shaoyun laughed, "Second Aunt, you still have red wine, very stylish."
Xia Wenyue smiled, "Of course, people should try everything they should in their life, even if it's not good. After trying and experiencing it, you will know it's not good and can avoid it in the future, isn't it?"
She said with a smile, "No, I'll listen to your second uncle. This red wine is a good thing. Drinking a little every day can make people feel good and make their skin better."
"Come on, especially you two kids." Xia Wenyue poured a glass for Ning Shaoyun and Ning Shaoyang, "You must be exhausted during this period! After eating this delicious meal from Second Aunt today, go home and have a good sleep. Things will get better and better for us in the future!"
Ning Shaoyun was stunned for a moment, then looked up and met Xia Wenyue's bright eyes, which were filled with love, pity and encouragement.
She obviously didn't know how to say anything nice, but Ning Shaoyun understood what she meant.
A warmth that I had never felt before suddenly rose up in my heart, which turned into a powerful force and flowed into every part of my body.
Ning Shaoyun suddenly understood the fearlessness of the Mao sisters.
The firm yet gentle care from their elders let them know that no matter how many violent storms or dark swamps they experience outside, as long as they come back here, they will see bright sunshine and gentle waves that can heal all the pain in their bodies.
Next time you can still set out happily and look for more beauty in this world.
Ning Shaoyun suddenly smiled, that bright smile after the depression was dispelled, as if she had returned to the time when she picked up the paintbrush again to paint "Rebirth".
The smile on Xia Wenyue's face became gentle, and she reached out and touched her head, "Good child, thank you for your hard work!"
Ning Shaoyun's eyes sparkled with tears. Ning Shaoyun raised her glass towards Xia Wenyue, "Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Xia Wenyue also reached out and touched his head. "You are also a good boy. I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently. Eat more."
Ning Shao's body stiffened.
Rong Xin, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes in surprise and came closer to say, "Second aunt, please touch me too. Your hands must have some magic power. My brother is actually shy!"
Ning Shaoyang kicked him, Xia Wenyue laughed and rubbed Rong Xin's head, "Are you a silly boy?"
Rong Xin shouted in dissatisfaction, "Why are they the good kids and I am the stupid kid!"
Ning Shao stuffed a piece of ginger into his mouth and said, "Shut up."
The spicy food made Rong Xin grimace in pain, and everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Xia Mian's tense nerves after a day of sleep gradually relaxed, and his stomach was finally rumbling with hunger. The magnificent villa and the elites in suits and leather shoes that day seemed like a dream.
The smell of fireworks at home is more soothing. Xia Mian couldn't help laughing when she saw Ning Shao quarreling with Rong Xin.
Suddenly, she felt her calves being hugged and shaken under the table. Xia Mian thought that Mao Huizhu had crawled under the table to be naughty, but when she lifted the tablecloth, she saw Xiao Feng's big, sparkling eyes.
"Xiao Feng?"
Xiao Feng happily shook Xia Mian's calves and shouted happily, "Auntie!" Then he didn't know what happened and started to giggle non-stop.
Xia Mian was amused by him and reached out to hug him, "Are you so happy?"
The child who would normally rush over screamed now, twisted his body to avoid Xia Mian's hand, and used his hands and feet to crawl out from under the table and run away.
While running, he giggled in a baby voice, "Auntie, you can't catch me!"
aestivation:…
How come Mao Huizhu is possessed
Just as I was wondering, I heard Mao Huilan screaming, "Mao Huizhu! Where did you get the red wine?!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Mao Huizhu sitting at the small dining table prepared for their little one. The juice cup in her hand was actually filled with red wine, and there was red liquid remaining at the bottom of the other two small cups.
Chenchen was sitting on a small chair, pointing at Mao Huilan, "Now we are brothers, sworn brotherhood in Taoyuan!"
Well, this state is not right. Ning Shaoyun quickly picked him up and said, "Chenchen?"
Chenchen struggled to stop her from hugging him, "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan..."
Xia Wenyue reached out and touched, and sure enough, the bottle of red wine under the table had disappeared.
When Mao Huizhu saw that she was discovered by the adults, she quickly drank the rest of the cup. Mao Huilan didn't stop her.
Xia Wenyue was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up, but she saw the little guy smiled at the adults, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
Xia Wenyue was terrified, "Huizhu!"
Ning Shaoyang rushed forward, pried open her eyelids and took a look, then laid on her chest and listened for a while before heaving a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, she's asleep."
Ning Shaoyun hurriedly asked, "How much did they drink?"
Xia Wenyue took out the wine bottle and said, "I poured it out. There should be some water at the bottom of the bottle. Did the people at your table not let them get it?"
Ning Shao picked up the two small cups on the table and looked at them one by one. "It's diluted with water, so I don't think many people will drink it."
Not much, but I'm drunk.
Xia Mian didn't expect that Xiao Feng would behave like this when drunk.
"Xiao Feng, come here, let your aunt hug you."
A moment before Xia Mian fell asleep, he moved his short legs very fast, screamed and ran into the inner room, then immediately closed the door, and then quickly called her through the crack in the door, "Auntie, hey."
I don't know if he is teasing her or provoking her.
Xia Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she grabbed the child and he almost used all his hands and feet to crawl towards her, "Haha, auntie."
Ning Shao came over after checking Chenchen, took Xiaofeng from Xia Mian's arms, and also put his ear to his chest and listened for a while.
Xiao Feng happily hugged Ning Shao's head and rubbed it, "Uncle Ning!"
It's so audacious, Chenchen wouldn't dare to do that.
Ning Shao rubbed it vigorously, handed it to Xia Mian and said, "It should be nothing serious, just take a good sleep."
He fixed his hair and said, "To be on the safe side, I'll sleep with them tonight. If anything happens at night, I can handle it in time."
There was nothing else they could do. The adults hurriedly washed the children and put them on the bed.
Mao Huizhu slept like a pig in the morning, and Chenchen and Zhao Zilong also fell asleep after they came in and out.
Only Xiao Feng was in incredibly good spirits.
He rolled around on the bed, teasing Xia Mian to catch him. Xia Mian originally thought that it would be fine after she left, but it turned out that such a gentle and quiet child turned out to be surprisingly agile.
As soon as Xia Mian turned around, he slid off the bed.
"You..." Xia Mian was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are a good candidate for martial arts training."
In the end, Xia Mian could only hold him in his arms forcefully and walked around on the ground for a few circles before coaxing him to sleep.
I covered each little one with a quilt, and turned around to see Ning Shaoyang, who was sitting on the sofa, had also fallen asleep.
There is an unconcealable fatigue between his brows...
Xia Mian suddenly realized that no matter how powerful he was, he was just one person. In order to prevent the Ning and Huo families from interfering with their lives, this person had been working almost all his energy for the past two months.
With so many coincidences, how could it be a simple thing
Xia Mian sighed and took a quilt to cover him.
Ning Shao woke up instantly, and asked sleepily, "Xiao Feng fell asleep?"
"Well," Xia Mian said, "Why don't you sleep next door? I'll watch them. I'll call you if there's anything."
"It's okay, go back to sleep." Ning Shao said, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor, I'm more alert than you."
Xia Mian said, "It's okay, you're much more tired than me..." She held back for a moment but couldn't help but asked curiously, "Why is Hainan happening today? Do you have any news?"
Ning Shao didn't expect her to ask this.
He was not reluctant to give her an answer. "The market over there is distorted to begin with. It's only a matter of time before it collapses. If there are a few people who sell frantically, it will soon cause panic like an avalanche."
"So, you still have people in Hainan?"
Ning Shao yawned, "Chenchen doesn't care about my sister alone."
Xia Mian's eyes widened, "Huo Xuewen?"
Ning Shao took the quilt from Xia Mian's hand and said, "Yeah."
"Then he and Sister Ning..."
Ning Shao pushed her towards the door and said, "Little girl, go to sleep. Don't meddle in the adults' affairs."
