Chapter 222 Don’t go too far

After hearing this, Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and swiftly took out a pair of new cotton shoes from the cupboard.

He brushed off the nonexistent dust, smiled and said to Zhang Xingwang, who was still pretending to drink water:

"You kid, you didn't speak clearly yesterday. You know that I'm old and have a bad memory.

Auntie, you don't have a change of shoes. What if you get cold? Young people should take care of their bodies. Auntie is an experienced person, and what she said is correct. Go back and change them quickly."

Zhang Xingwang couldn't refuse, so he took the new shoes reluctantly and looked at them carefully.

It has to be the craftsmanship of Jia Zhang. The stitching and style are really master-level workmanship. If you wear this pair of shoes when you go out, no one in the yard can beat you except Bang Geng.

After putting away the new shoes calmly, Zhang Xingwang whispered to Jia Zhang:

"Aunt Jia, I heard from everyone that you have a city hukou. I happened to be working on the street, so I checked it out of curiosity. It's nothing. Don't worry. Life is unpredictable, just like a pair of shoes. It will soon go from new to old. It's a matter of time..."

"Um...morning or night?"

Jia Zhang looked at the shameless guy in front of her. Did it mean that this matter was not over yet?

He immediately put away his smile, his face turned gloomy, and said sternly:

"Just tell me what you want to do. Auntie has been so good to you these days..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Huairu who was coaxing the child. Seeing her ears twitching, he felt upset and frowned as he said:

"Don't go too far, don't even think about it..."

"Aunt, what are you thinking? What kind of person am I?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's expression of "just pretend", he didn't dare to push her any further and said quickly:

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that my hands get cold when I go out for a bike ride? I didn't expect you to have the skill to knit gloves. I didn't expect you have such a wide range of hobbies..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's expression changed back and forth, and finally returned to her amiable look, but there was still a hint of vigilance in her eyes, and she said with a smile:

"You kid, what are you curious about? I just knitted a pair of them for your brother Dongxu. I'll measure and modify them for you later. You can use them first."

"That's not good. I hope Brother Dongxu won't be angry if he finds out."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and said:

"Your brother Dongxu is not in a hurry. I can just knit for him. I have plenty of time, and he doesn't need to ride a bike. Of course, your situation is more important. Don't worry, your brother Dongxu is not the kind of unreasonable person."

"Then I feel relieved. Aunt Jia, you are such a nice person!"

"Of course not, but what about the household registration?"

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it. My brain is really getting less and less useful. How can someone go to check household registration? How much free time does that person have?

Not to mention that you, Auntie, are making shoe soles for the streets. You are a person who makes contributions, and you are definitely different from others."

After drinking some water and measuring his hands at Jia's house, Zhang Xingwang left contentedly. Jia Zhang was still reluctant to let him go, muttering:

"Xingwang, auntie sees that you like to come to the middle courtyard to chat when you have nothing to do. When you are free, come to my house to hang out and have a drink.

Don't be too distant, I like you the most among the young people in the courtyard."

.........

Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Xingwang who was taking his shoes out, and then looked at her mother-in-law whose expression suddenly changed from kind to vicious, and she felt that this world was too crazy.

After thinking about it, I overheard their irrelevant conversation and felt that they were able to continue the conversation, but I couldn't hear or understand anything.

I feel like I am too young and I come from the countryside, so I really haven't seen much of the world. I must learn from my mother-in-law.

I can finally understand why the mother-in-law, who had promised so solemnly yesterday, gave the shoes to the boy again, but also promised to give him gloves. This is really hard to understand.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Jia Zhang was staring at her, and Qin Huairu immediately felt something was wrong.

Before I could figure out how to explain, I heard my mother-in-law say in a deep voice:

"What should I do? This is troublesome. Maybe that guy has set his sights on you!"

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. You two gave me shoes and gloves as if you were close friends regardless of age. It's none of my business. I was obviously just a background board.

"Mom, aren't you talking about household registration?"

"Well... that unscrupulous person threatened me with the user's account."

"You gave him shoes, and you promised to give him gloves, so we are even now."

"The problem is that he stared at you for a long time after he entered the room. I'm afraid this conscienceless guy has some evil intentions. Fortunately, I used my shoes and gloves to temporarily block his mouth this time."

"Ah! For the time being?"

"Otherwise, if it were you, would you just give away a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves? For someone like you, it's normal for that conscienceless person to take a few more glances at you.

But if I find out that you do something to let Dongxu down, I will never forgive you, understand?"

Qin Huairu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. How did your own household registration problem involve me? How did giving birth to a daughter turn her into a fake? My first child is a son.

But despite thinking about it, she nodded obediently and repeatedly assured her mother-in-law that she would not cheat on her husband, and only then did she appease her mother-in-law.

After a while, I thought again, this was an unprovoked disaster for me. Why didn't you just give him the shoes earlier? Instead, why are you being so sarcastic to me?

I was very careful not to provoke that gossipy person, but how come I was caught in the crossfire again? Dongxu was not much better off this time. The gloves that my mother-in-law made for him after he begged for a long time were taken away again.

.........

It was another day off. Zhang Pandi studied Zhang Xingwang's new gloves for a long time before he smiled and said slowly:

"Brother, you know what, Aunt Jia's craftsmanship is really good. The stitches are really smooth and beautiful. I have learned a lot from her."

"Of course, these gloves and shoes are very impressive to wear in the hospital. Jia Dongxu even came over to take a sour look at them."

…………

After breakfast in the morning, Zhang Xingwang set off to visit his aunt's house. After all, he couldn't stop taking the medicine, and the New Year was almost here.

I plan to stock up more medicine this time so I don't have to run back and forth all the time. Although he is very resistant to cold in such cold weather, as long as he is mentally sound, he will definitely not be willing to travel far.

After taking medicine for so long, drinking tiger bone wine, and eating a lot of meat and fish, his physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary people, basically developing into a non-human. Even the two ginsengs were cut into slices to make him laugh.

Now the strength of my right hand is on par with my elder sister’s, and every day I’m as energetic as a little wolfhound.

It’s a bit regrettable that the eldest sister kept it secret and didn’t compete with him in the left hand test.
