Chapter 127:
Chen Meng’er couldn’t think of a solution. Seeing that it was almost time, she flashed out of the space. Just as she left the space, there was a knock on the door, followed by Nanny Li’s voice, “Little Miss, it’s time to get up. You’ll sleep too long later, and you’ll get a headache.”
“Nanny Li, I’ll get up right away,” Chen Meng’er said to Nanny Li outside the door, using the tone she used when she had just woken up.
“It’s good that you’re up. When the Little Miss gets up, come and look for Nanny Li. Nanny Li has made your favorite snacks for you.” As long as Chen Meng’er was here, Nanny Li would make a lot of snacks every afternoon, because she knew that Chen Meng’er liked them.
“Okay, thank you, Nanny Li. Nanny Li is the best,” Chen Meng’er replied.
When Nanny Li heard Chen Meng’er’s reply, she left happily.
When Chen Meng’er appeared in front of Elder Liu after her afternoon nap, Elder Liu raised his head and noticed that the swelling on Chen Meng’er’s head had returned to normal. There were no signs of swelling at all. “Eh, Meng’er, the swelling on your head is no longer there?” “Yes, I noticed it was no longer there after my afternoon nap,” Chen Meng’er replied as she touched the area. “I think it’s probably because of the herbal medicine you applied on me before, Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er didn’t dare to tell the truth.
However, Elder Liu didn’t doubt the excuse that Chen Meng’er made. Elder Liu smiled and said, “I was wondering why the swelling-reducing medicine passed down in my family didn’t have any effect on you. It turns out that it’s just a little late in taking effect.” Elder Liu looked at Chen Meng’er’s forehead, which didn’t leave any marks. Then, he said, “Fortunately, it’s gone. I was afraid that if it left any mark, Grandpa wouldn’t know how to explain it to your parents. Our Meng’er is still as beautiful as ever.”
“Grandpa, you’re flattering me so much that I’m embarrassed.” Chen Meng’er changed the topic. In fact, even if Chen Meng’er had a scar on her face, she didn’t care. Moreover, she had always thought that it wasn’t Elder Liu’s responsibility.
“Aiya, our Meng’er is still shy. I really couldn’t tell.” Elder Liu also followed Chen Meng’er’s words and continued to change the topic.
Since Chen Meng’er’s injury had recovered, she had to go back to school.
After Chen Meng’er returned home, she followed her two brothers back to class. When Chen Meng’er arrived at school, she was warmly welcomed. They surrounded Chen Meng’er and asked her curiously, “Chen Meng’er, we heard from your brother Chen Haoxuan that you went to the city. How was it? Was it fun in the city?”
These rural children did not have the chance to go to the city at all. It was not just because their families were poor. They did not have the spare money to let the children go to the city to play. There was also the fact that the traffic was inconvenient now. Not only was the road difficult to walk on, but the bus was not as developed as later generations. It meant that you could not go wherever you wanted to go.
Therefore, when Chen Meng’er’s classmates heard Chen Haoxuan say that Chen Meng’er didn’t come to school because she went to the city, when Chen Meng’er came back, all of them surrounded her and asked curiously.
“Eh?” Chen Meng’er, who was surrounded by the students in the class, didn’t know how to answer. She went to the city. And she would go there every weekend, but she didn’t go there to play. Instead, she went to Liu’s old home.
Liu had previously said that he wanted to take her to the city to play. However, he was rejected by Chen Meng’er. Speaking of which, Chen Meng’er, who had an adult soul in her, really didn’t have much interest in the current city,
Chen Meng’er’s silly and cute appearance made Chen Haoxuan mistakenly think that his sister was frightened by everyone’s enthusiasm. Chen Haoxuan’s heart instantly ached. He held his sister’s hand, he shouted to the students who had gathered around him, “Hey, everyone, you didn’t gather around. What do you want to ask? You can ask later. Can’t you see that my sister has been frightened by you?” After Chen Haoxuan shouted to his classmates, he lowered his head and softly comforted Chen Meng’er, “Meng’er, do not be afraid..”
