Chapter 292: 102: Popular Ice-Skin Jade-Beauty, The Unknown Past of Sun Dalian_2
“Well, I’m leaving then, Gousheng.”
The stack of books was quite heavy, weighing at least ten to twenty pounds. Gousheng was about to offer to help Ni Yang carry them home when he saw her easily lift the stack with one hand and stroll off as if the books weighed nothing at all!
She was stronger than he expected!
Gousheng marveled in silence.
After Ni Yang returned home, she began reviewing her lessons even though she had been out of school for quite a while. To her surprise, she didn’t have any difficulties doing so.
Ni Cuihua was aware that her daughter was studying and made sure to lower her voice to not disturb her.
Not until the afternoon did Ni Yang come out of her room, stretching lazily.
“Yangyang, you must be tired from reading for such a long time. Have some milk tea first,” Ni Cuihua said, bringing her a cup of milk tea.
Ni Cuihua was intelligent. In less than half a year, she had already mastered the art of making milk tea and even created new flavors.
“Thanks, Mom.” Ni Yang took the milk tea and gulped down more than half of it in one go.
After finishing her milk tea, she went to the kitchen to prepare a snack for the workers building the house next door.
After some thought, Ni Yang decided to make lard pancakes.
In a time when everyone lacked oil and fats in their diet, no one would appreciate any other kind of snack.
An hour later, Ni Yang had prepared a basket full of lard pancakes.
The lard pancakes were golden on both sides. They were crunchy and oily, winning everyone’s approval.
After several days of hard work, the basic structure of the house had taken shape and the walls were already half a meter high.
Wang Tieniu, who was munching on a lard pancake, came over with the blueprint. “Yangyang, I still don’t quite understand this part of your plan. What is this pipe for?”
Ni Yang glanced at the blueprint and explained with a smile, “This pipe is for drainage. This is the bathroom.”
“Bathroom?” The term was new to Wang Tieniu, leaving him a bit confused.
Ni Yang paused to let Wang Tieniu finish his pancake before explaining, “The bathroom is where you take a bath and use the toilet.”
In rural areas, the toilet was just a toilet.
More specifically, since the day they returned from the state-run restaurant, she had been out of sorts.
She would stare vacantly at one spot, occasionally shedding tears for no apparent reason, and her appetite had waned.
All these signs pointed to one fact – the old woman was thinking about her biological daughter again!
Each time she thought about this, Zheng Lingling would grit her teeth in frustration.
Why? Why? She had taken care of the old hag for so many years, but the hag still couldn’t forget the daughter who had been dead for years!
Was she planning to adopt that little girl she saw at the state-run restaurant?
Or had she heard news about her long-lost daughter?
Zheng Lingling scrunched her brows and ordered the butler, Liu, to be called over.
Zheng Lingling had been with the Zheng family for many years and knew that the person Madam Zheng trusted most was Butler Liu.
Butler Liu would definitely know if something was amiss with Madam Zheng.
If she wanted to find out something, she would have to start with Butler Liu.
