Chapter 197 She Likes This Kind of Partiality
"Sniff!" Wei Zhongping couldn't help but sniff.
What his wife said was right. This little girl was not loved in vain. She was hundreds of times better than those people who were all talk but had colder hearts than anyone else.
Bai Nuo twitched his lips speechlessly and took a small step back silently: "Uncle, calm down, don't cry, I'm scared!"
"Go away, you little disrespectful girl. How could I, your uncle, a strong man, cry?" The captain wiped his face vigorously. He shouldn't have been so moved. This little girl deserved to be punished.
"Hehe!" Bai Nuo saw that her captain uncle had returned to normal in an instant, and smiled mischievously. She raised her hand and patted the seat of the tricycle, "Then this tricycle is in your hands. We haven't registered it with the Public Security Bureau yet, so remember to ride it there tomorrow to get it stamped."
She knew that Wei Zhongping had his own connections at the County Public Security Bureau, and even if he didn't buy the receipt, he could still get the car stamped.
After saying that, Bai Nuo planned to take his bicycle down and go home.
"Wait a moment, uncle will call your aunt back and give you the money." The captain was touched, but he would never take advantage of the younger generation, so he had to give the money.
"Why should I give you money? I didn't spend any money!" Bai Nuo waved his hand without even thinking.
Although she has no morals, she still has a bottom line. She does not make money from her own people, but secretly trades with her cousin. That's because she happens to have goods on hand, and her cousin has channels to ship the goods. Both parties make money, and it is a win-win situation.
But this tricycle only cost her a few hours of craftsmanship, and it really didn't cost her a penny, so naturally she couldn't ask her team leader for money.
Besides, it was not Wei Zhongping who asked her for the tricycle, but she wanted to give a gift to the captain uncle who had always protected her and even been partial to her.
She likes this kind of partiality!
She has been a willful and unreasonable person in her past and present lives. As long as she likes someone, no matter what the other person's identity is, she is willing to give good things to the other person.
"How could he not have spent any money? Mr. Yu from the scrap collection station..." The captain's words suddenly stopped, and he looked at Bai Nuo with a guilty look on his face.
Bai Nuo: “…” He twitched his lips speechlessly.
She finally discovered that her captain uncle had an advantage, which was that he would always let something slip in front of his own people. Perhaps he could not hide anything except state secrets.
When she first came, Wei Zhongping might not have known about the relationship between her and Yu Guosheng. After all, Yu Guosheng had not received the news that she was going to the countryside at that time. But after Yu Guosheng knew about it, he should have greeted Wei Zhongping.
But Bai Nuo could see that her captain uncle was nice to her not entirely because she was Yu Guosheng's nephew and granddaughter.
The preference that Wei Zhongping and his wife had for her was developed through their interactions. She would not deny their sincerity just because of her aunt and grandfather's relationship with her.
For Bai Nuo, no matter how good something is, it is still a dead object and is never as important as the word "sincerity".
"Alright, now that you know the relationship between me and Old Yu, you should know that I really didn't spend any money on this. It's just a broken car frame thrown away by a machinery factory. How can my aunt and grandfather ask me for money? Just keep it with me. If you continue to be so polite, I will make a scene!"
"You girl!" Wei Zhongping felt helpless and relieved, and he knew that he really couldn't give the money away.
However, as an elder, how can you accept gifts from your younger generation for free?
"That's perfect. You can't say no to staying for dinner tonight. I'll go call your aunt and your sister back right away."
Bai Nuo looked at Wei Zhongping, who looked as if he was afraid he would run away, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll eat it, I'll eat it!"
Wei Zhongping also asked his second brother to call his wife and children over so that they could stay here for dinner together in the evening.
The two brothers of the Wei family have a good relationship, and the relationship between them and their wives is like that of sisters. They often get together for dinner. Not only them, but sometimes several other cousins also get together for dinner.
From this we can see that the older generation of the Wei family was well educated. Even in choosing sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, they had good vision and were very cautious. They were all people with good character and knew how to act in moderation.
Therefore, this family, from the old to the young, has always lived in harmony. I wonder how many people envy them.
Wei Zhongan naturally would not refuse, and went home happily to find his wife. His wife had been reluctant to give him the cured duck she brought back from her parents' home, but now that she was coming to her eldest brother's house for dinner, she would definitely be willing to give it to him.
While the team leader was out looking for Aunt Cui'e, Bai Nuo ran to the backyard to see Grandpa Wei and took out a small bag of tea to honor the old man.
The old man had a gunshot wound on his leg from the Anti-Japanese War, and it always hurt a lot at night. Bai Nuo had always admired such an old hero. She was naturally willing to do her best to make the old hero live a more comfortable life in his later years.
"I haven't finished the drink you gave me last time." Grandpa Wei smiled lovingly.
"Then don't be reluctant. Drink a little every day. I will make some medicinal wine for you later. Rub your legs with the medicinal wine every night and drink a small cup. You will sleep well." Bai Nuo took a small stool and sat next to the old man. He stretched out his hand to gently massage the old man's legs.
Judging from his skillful manner, it is obvious that this is not his first time.
Some time ago, the old man accidentally caught a cold, which triggered his old illness and made him shiver all over in pain. When Bai Nuo heard Wei Jia mention this, he and Fang Meng came to see the old man that night.
Bai Nuo is a wood-type mutant, possessing the vitality of the wood element. Although he does not have the power to bring the dead back to life or fight terminal illnesses, he is still able to relieve some pain. At that time, he really couldn't bear to see an old hero suffer like this, so he helped massage him for a while.
As for Fang Meng, although his gold and space elements are of little use in this regard, he, like Bai Nuo, also has a strong mental power, and can help the old man massage his head to relieve the old man's brain nerves that have been tense for a long time due to pain.
Together, the two of them finally helped the old man have a good night's sleep. When he woke up the next day, not only was his pain much less, but he also felt much better.
So, people are contradictory.
Bai Nuo and Fang Meng, two people who came from the end of the world, can be very bad. They will cheat people, be bad people, and even kill people without any mercy.
But it can also be very good. When facing this old hero who can disregard life and death in front of the enemy, it will also become very soft.
Bai Nuo quietly left the backyard only after the old man fell asleep.
"I knew you were going to visit grandpa in the backyard again." Li Cui'e saw the little girl coming from the backyard and hurriedly stepped forward and took the little girl's hand. She seemed to be complaining, but the smile in her eyes never diminished. "You just know how to spoil your uncle. You dare to give him whatever he wants. Such a big tricycle, you can exchange it for a lot of good things."
Bai Nuo chuckled: "How can that be the same! My uncle's happiness is the most important thing."
"Yes, yes, I'm happy, very happy!" Wei Zhongping, who was squatting beside the tricycle and looking curious, replied with a smile.
"Dad, please hold back. People who don't know you would think you have a child in your old age!" Wei Jia looked at her father's worthless look and said this.
"Pa!" Li Cui'e went up and slapped the old girl on the back of the head, glaring at her angrily: "What are you talking about? Take your sister into the house to play, mom and your sister-in-law will go cook."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll go right away!" Wei Jia became obedient instantly, took Bai Nuo's hand, turned around and ran back to his room.
Bai Nuo didn't try to squeeze into the kitchen. It was her first time eating at the Wei family's, and she wanted to help out, but...
Her aunt didn't even need to say anything, as she was directly carried out by the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Wei family. They stuffed several pieces of candy and cakes into her hands and asked Xiao Huzi to take her to play in the yard.
Then she discovered that her treatment in the Wei family was the same as Xiao Huzi and Wei Jia.
"Look, I've embroidered the pattern you drew for me last time. How is it?"
As soon as Bai Nuo entered the room, Wei Jia took out the handkerchief she had recently embroidered. Bai Nuo looked at the vivid peony flowers embroidered on it with a look of surprise.
"Of course, Sister Jiajia, you are really good at embroidery!"
The last time Bai Nuo saw the Wei family embroidering shirt collars, he found that the girl had good skills, but unfortunately her painting skills were too poor. She also had a problem with embroidering things. If there was no reference, she couldn't embroider anything too complicated, so he drew a peony on paper for her.
"Hehe!" Wei Jia grinned happily. Don't say it, her smile now was exactly the same as her father's just now.
"My grandma was rescued by my grandpa when he was fighting in the Anti-Japanese War. She's not from our hometown. I heard her hometown is in the Jiangnan area. She learned embroidery from her family since she was young. She is a very famous embroiderer in her hometown. When I was little, I liked to learn embroidery from her. She said I was very talented."
"Indeed, it's much better than what I embroidered!" Bai Nuo looked at the big peony flower enviously.
Her teacher who was a professor in the Department of Fashion Design and Production was also an excellent Suzhou embroidery expert before the end of the world. Unfortunately, although the teacher was unparalleled in the Suzhou embroidery world, he failed in his education career because of her.
She had been learning for so many years, but she could only embroider small flowers. She always lacked the patience to embroider larger pieces, and she lacked inspiration, so the pieces she embroidered were mediocre.
"Alas, it's a pity that we don't recognize this thing here, so I can only embroider it for myself to see." Wei Jia sighed lightly, lying on the kang table, with his hands resting on his chin, his face full of regret.
She heard that there were government-run embroidery workshops in the counties and cities in the south of the Yangtze River. If the embroidery products were good, there was a chance that they could be sold abroad to earn foreign exchange for the country.
"This is the national situation now, but don't worry. You may have a chance in the future. After all, the skill is yours. As long as you keep practicing and don't get rusty, you will be able to use it one day." Bai Nuo also lay on the kang table and comforted her softly.
"Is it really possible?" Wei Jia looked at Bai Nuo, his eyes full of trust.
"I think it's possible. Resting on our laurels has never been a habit of our Dragon Nation. From ancient times to the present, our country has been constantly breaking through and making progress. Even when we occasionally hit rock bottom, we have never given up on moving forward.
The current situation may only be temporary. I believe our country will one day become powerful, and for a country to become powerful, its economic circulation must naturally keep pace with the times. By then, many things will be useful, including…” Bai Nuo held the handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers and looked at the Wei family with a smile, “Including these crafts passed down from generation to generation in our country, they will no longer be limited to a certain region or a certain industry.”
"You're right." Wei Jia became energetic in an instant after hearing Bai Nuo's words, his face full of expectation and yearning.
After all, she is a new-age woman who has attended high school and achieved excellent grades. Her ideas and vision are in line with the trend. At the same time, she also firmly believes that the country she loves will get better and better.
"I will never give up. I will definitely carry forward what my grandmother left me and let everyone know about this craft that has been passed down in our country for hundreds of years."
