Chapter 2003: You Yi, willing to do anything for his daughter
Translator: 549690339
Nie qiuping rode her old bicycle and first went to school to pick qingsi up. Then, she went straight to the chicken pen and took out the bowl that was used to feed the chickens and washed it with clean water.
After washing it clean, she looked at the porcelain bowl carefully. She turned it over and over again, but she couldn’t see anything special about it. It was just a little better looking than ordinary bowls, with some blue twined branch totems.
Nie qiuping’s family was very poor when she was young. Her parents were old. Even though they tried very hard to let her go to school, she dropped out of school in the first year of high school. She helped her parents do farm work at home, so her education level was not high. She only had a rough understanding of this porcelain and knew that it looked a little like blue and white. She did not know anything else. If this bowl was really an old object, what if the pawnshop people lied to her?
Nie qiuping sighed. It would be great if she could go to school for two more years.
That year, her parents were seriously ill. In order to raise money for her parents ‘treatment, she was so anxious that she did not know what to do. Coincidentally, someone came to propose marriage to Yan Songnan. After some consideration, nie qiuping was married.
She had wanted to get some betrothal gifts to treat her parents ‘illness, but they refused to agree. If she used the betrothal gifts to treat her parents’ illness, her daughter would not bring any dowry when she married over and would even spend the betrothal gifts from her mother-in-law’s family. Then, she would definitely not have a good life in her mother-in-law’s family in the future. So, they did not agree no matter what. Not long after nie qiuping married, they died of illness.
The Yan family had already despised her family for being poor. When her parents died, they were even more hostile to her, saying that she was a jinx.
When she thought of the past, nie qiuping did not feel much bitterness in her heart. She had been a person who had been soaked in bitter water since she was young. No matter how difficult the days were, it was still better than death.
She got up and wrapped the small porcelain bowl in a cloth. She found a wooden box that used to store needle and thread and covered the bottom with some wheat straw. Then, she put the bowl in it carefully and turned around to cook for qingsi.
“Qingsi,” she asked while they were eating,”tomorrow is Saturday, right?”
“Yes,” qingsi nodded.
“Mom will take you to the county, okay?”
“The county …” Qingsi’s eyes widened in confusion. To her, the town was already so far away. Was the county even further away?
Nie qiuping picked up a vegetable for her.”That’s right. Mommy will bring you to the county, okay?”
Qingsi nodded.”Sure, but mom, is the county far away?”
“It’s not that far, let’s go to town by car …”
“Wow, you can make a car.” Qingsi’s eyes brightened. She had never been on a four-wheeled carriage at her age.
Nie qiuping suppressed the bitterness in her heart and nodded,””Yes, let’s go by car. We’ll go to bed early today, and we might have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Qingsi was very happy. She nodded her head.”Yes, yes, yes. I’ll go to bed in a while.”
After dinner, he washed qingsi’s feet, wiped her body with hot water, and then let her go to bed.
……
After washing the dishes in the dark, nie qiuping came to the side of the bed. Her black hair had already fallen asleep. Under the dim light, her fair little face was a little yellow. Her long eyelashes were like the wings of a butterfly that could fly at any time. Her soft bangs were pressed against her forehead, and her pink little face was puffed up.
Nie qiuping’s heart softened bit by bit. Qingsi looked very much like her. When she looked at her daughter, no matter how tired she was, she could always regain her energy. For her daughter, she could do anything.
As long as she didn’t die, her life would get better.
