Chapter 204 Uncle 3 is too bad
"You can eat whatever you want in the future. Our family is rich." Shen Wanning said generously.
"Hey, what is Third Brother doing in the kitchen? We are all here, but he is the only one who hasn't come yet. Let me go and take a look." As she said that, she prepared to get up.
Just then, Lin Jingyou walked in, carrying a bowl of longevity noodles. "Wan Ning, happy birthday! You have to eat longevity noodles on your birthday!"
"This... was this made by Third Brother himself? Was Third Brother cooking longevity noodles just now?" Shen Wanning stood up and pointed at the longevity noodles in surprise.
"That's not true. The third brother said that he has been secretly learning how to cook noodles in the county town, just to make longevity noodles for you on your birthday. I have never tasted the noodles cooked by the third brother!" Aunt Zhang joked with a smile, but there was no sourness in her tone.
"If you want to eat it, mom, I will cook it for you every day in the future." Lin Jingyou said quickly because he was afraid that Shen Wanning would be embarrassed.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm just saying that. You study hard, so how can I ask you to cook noodles for me every day? Besides, I'm not too old. I'm not unable to move yet. I should do things that I can do by myself." Aunt Zhang waved her hand.
Lin Jingyou put the noodles in front of Shen Wanning and sat down next to her.
Lin Dashan and Aunt Zhang picked up their chopsticks first, and then the others started eating. Everyone ate and chatted at the same time.
"Aunt, your hair is combed so beautifully today. It must be your third uncle who combed it for you, right?" Lin Hu suddenly asked.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Yeah, how did you know it was your third uncle who combed my hair?"
"I knew it was like this! Third Uncle is so nice to Auntie, but Auntie, you don't know how bad Third Uncle is." Lin Hu pointed at Lin Jingyou and accused him.
"Huh? Your third uncle can be bad sometimes. Tell me, what happened to your third uncle?" Shen Wanning asked curiously.
The others also looked at Lin Hu, wanting to hear what Lin Jingyou had done.
"Aunt, do you know how my third uncle learned to comb my hair? He tricked me into going to his study to teach me, but he wanted me to promise that he would comb my hair. These days, my third uncle combs my hair every day. It hurt so much at the beginning, but it has only gotten better in the past few days." Lin Hu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
That's it!
Lin Jingyou lowered his head and pretended not to hear. Shen Wanning chuckled, "I was wondering why Third Brother's craftsmanship was so good. He actually used Lin Hu as an experiment!"
"That's right. Every time I ask my third uncle a question, he has to spend a long time working on my hair. Many times he made my hair into a mess and almost pulled all my hair out." Lin Hu pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
Aunt Zhang laughed, "We, Xiaohu, have really been wronged. Grandma will give you an extra big chicken leg!" As she said that, she picked up a chicken leg and put it in Linhu's bowl.
Shen Wanning couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. She couldn't imagine that this was something Lin Jingyou could do.
"I was wondering why I didn't see the third brother a few days ago. I thought he was studying in the study! I didn't expect that he was combing Xiaohu's hair. Oh, no, I can't stand up straight because of laughing. I have never seen the third brother do these things in my life. It was only after meeting Wan Ning that the third brother became so lively." Aunt Zhang sighed.
"Mom, the food is getting cold. Eat it quickly. If it gets cold later, you will get stomach upset." Lin Jingyou looked indifferent, as if he was not the one being talked about.
You'll get used to it as you become thick-skinned.
"Wan Ning too, how about trying the longevity noodles? Is it delicious?" Lin Jingyou pushed the noodles towards Shen Wan Ning again.
Shen Wanning picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, tried a bite, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Not bad, Third Brother's cooking skills are indeed good. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort and studied hard recently."
Lin Jingyou smiled knowingly, "Eat more lemon that night, and eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, the noodles will clump together."
The family ate and chatted happily, creating a lively atmosphere of the New Year.
In the afternoon, Chen Zihao and twelve other people gathered together and went to the Lin family.
Seeing them coming, Shen Wanning went back to the room and came out with a box of silver.
"Are you here to collect your wages? I've prepared it a long time ago." As she said that, Shen Wanning opened the box containing the silver.
Chen Zihao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, we are not here to ask for wages, we just want to ask Miss Shen if she still needs help making quilts."
Shen Wanning shook her head. "Forget it this year. The remaining cotton needs to be made into clothes, and there are enough quilts. Come here, and I'll calculate your wages."
Chen Zihao suddenly knelt on the ground, and except for Tie Niu, everyone else followed Chen Zihao and knelt on the ground.
"Miss Shen is willing to teach us such complicated techniques as fluffing cotton and making quilts. Logically speaking, we have the right to call Miss Shen Master. We haven't paid tuition, so how can we dare to ask for wages from Master?" Chen Zihao said seriously.
"Hey, what are you doing? Get up, get up." Shen Wanning put the money box on the table and was about to pull them up.
Another villager continued, "Brother Chen is right. Miss Shen taught us the craft of making quilts and didn't charge us any money. It's not right for an apprentice to work for his master, so how can he be paid?"
Tie Niu stood there, not knowing whether to kneel or not. To him, Shen Wanning was from the same village, and although Shen Wanning did him a favor, he would be too embarrassed to kneel if he really asked him to.
"Hurry up and get up. I'm willing to teach you this skill for free. Get up quickly, get up quickly." Shen Wanning bent down and supported them.
Several people stood up, and one of the younger brothers who had followed the Black Ba brothers said, "Miss Shen taught us this skill, and now we have the ability to be self-reliant. It's like giving us a new life. We can't thank Miss Shen enough for such a great favor. How can we accept Miss Shen's money? Miss Shen, please take the money back!"
Tie Niu thought what they said made sense, so he continued, "Yes, Wan Ning, we can't accept this money. Not only that, if you want to make quilts at home next time, just give us a call and we'll come right away."
"Okay, in that case, I won't dwell on it. Thank you for your hard work in making quilts every day."
"Miss Shen, what you said is not true. Learning a craft is always hard. We all know how valuable this craft will be in the future. Miss Shen is willing to teach us this precious craft. We are very grateful and will do our best to repay Miss Shen in the future." Chen Zihao said seriously.
Shen Wanning nodded with satisfaction. Finally, someone recognized the value of this craft.
"Just living a good life is more important than anything else. This craft will ensure prosperity for at least three generations. But at the same time, I hope you can pass this craft down. You can be reserved, but don't be overly selfish."
Chen Zihao bowed and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"
The others followed his example, bowing and saying, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
