When Wumei heard that Ning Yue did not blame her, her lowered eyelids instantly raised again and she looked at Ning Yue happily.
“That’s right. I heard from Sister that the down jacket is very warm. Winter has arrived, and I want to collect some duck feathers to make a down jacket for you. However, there’s too few duck feathers. If we pluck all the duck feathers in the village, we won’t be able to make a good set of clothes. I looked at the chicken feathers and duck feathers and saw that they look the same.” Wumei looked at Ning Yue with sparkling eyes.
Ning Yue smiled. “Wumei, I’m very happy that you care about me. But do you know that when those chickens and ducks have all their feathers plucked, they’ll also be very cold? They’ll catch a cold too. Do you want to see them sick?”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Wumei frowned and said, “But I heard from my father that chickens and ducks can still grow more feathers.”
Although Wumei was older than the two children, she was only eleven years old. It was good for ancient people to mature early, but these children did not see things as comprehensively.
For example, Wumei thought that the feathers of chickens and ducks could grow back so they could be plucked at will.
Ning Yue thought for a moment and said, “Wumei, let me tell you a story. In the past, there was a very beautiful girl who had long and beautiful hair. Then, she met a young lady with bad hair. The young lady saw that the beautiful girl’s hair was very good-looking. Her hair was sparse and yellow, and she had the intention to pull out the beautiful girl’s hair. At that time, when people were talking, she said the same thing as you. Anyway, the hair could grow back. It’s fine to pull it out.”
With that, Ning Yue paused and looked at Wumei, wanting to see her expression.
She looked shocked, thinking that if her hair was pulled out, she would be sad even if it grew back.
She lowered her head and said to Ning Yue in a dull tone, “Sister, I’m sorry. I did something wrong. I shouldn’t have brought them to pluck the feathers of the entire village.”
Seeing that their aunt had admitted her mistake, Xiaobao and Xiaobei lowered their heads.
“Mother, I know my mistake,” said Xiaobao.
“Mother, I know my mistake too. I won’t do it again,” said Xiaobei.
Seeing this, Ning Yue was quite satisfied. Punishment was not the goal. The goal was to educate the children well.
At this moment, Old Master Ning, who had gone to the workshop to work, and Old Madam Ning, who was working in the fields, received the news and rushed back. When they saw Ning Yue, they were very happy.
“Yueyue, you’ve been in the capital for so many days. We missed you so much.” Old Madam Ning stepped forward and hugged Ning Yue.
“Grandma, I miss you too. I miss home.” Ning Yue’s voice was a little teary.
“Mother, we miss you too. We miss you too. Do you miss us?” Xiaobei quickly said when he saw that his mother had hugged his great-grandmother but not them.
“Yes, I miss Xiaobei and Xiaobao,” Ning Yue said as she squatted down and hugged the two children.
“You’re not allowed to do that in the future.” Ning Yue educated the children.
Then, she stood up and said to Grandpa and Grandma, “Grandpa, Grandma, good news! Second Aunt is preparing to give our family a new member again.”
“Oh? She’s pregnant?” Old Madam Ning was overjoyed. “Alright, it’s good to have a child!”
With more people, there was more excitement.
“I’m looking forward to your mother and your second aunt giving birth now. That way, our family will be more lively. I wonder if it’ll be a boy or a girl. If only it’s a girl. We don’t have many girls in our family,” the old lady said with a smile.
In the entire Ning family, Ning Guang’s generation only had two aunts. These two aunts were married and he did not see them often.
In Ning Yue’s generation, other than Ning Yue herself, only Wumei was a daughter.
Among the children of the next generation, only Xiaobei was a girl.
The number of girls in the entire family could be counted on ten fingers. They liked girls very much.
“Both boys and girls are our children. We have to take good care of them,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
“That’s right. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, our family will have to feed two more mouths. We have to work harder,” Old Master Ning said with a smile.
“Alright, let’s not stand outside and talk. Let’s go in and take a look first,” the old lady suggested.
