MTL - Being Scolded As a Loser? All the Big Guys In Beijing Are Rushing To Pamper Me

Chapter 25: Saying hello on the surface, but actually trying to show off

 The prescriptions and powers are there, so why worry about not having pills?

 Da!

 Suddenly, a soft object fell on Shen Xiangxiang.

 She reached out and took it out. It was a dizzy little white snake.

This snake has clean scales and is not scary at all. It looks very spiritual.

"It's not even thick as chopsticks, and it's not even big enough to fit between your teeth." Shen Nian clicked his tongue and said regretfully.

 “Hiss!” The little white snake spit out its core.

"Heh, he's quite tempered." Shen Nian said, pinching the snake's head and looking at it carefully.

It seems harmless on the surface, but it is actually very toxic.

Although it is not a fatal poison, one bite will make your whole body numb, which is not a joke.

 Such a little guy is quite suitable to be a bodyguard for Brother Man.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian used her strong mental power to tame the little white snake, hung it on her wrist, and carried the bamboo basket down the mountain.

 When the villagers saw Shen Nian, they all glanced at her backpack.

Shen Nian walked forward with a normal expression.

As soon as she walked away, everyone started gossiping.

 “How come you haven’t hit anything?” someone gloated.

"I'm afraid she can't suppress the bad luck with all her strength. She's really unlucky."

 The faces of everyone present changed.

 On the other side, Shen Nian returned home.

Seeing that Shen Da, Meng Shi and Shen Jie were also there, she was slightly startled and said hello: "Uncle, aunt, cousin."

 Meng stepped forward with a smile and took off the bamboo basket from Shen Nian's body, "Sister Nian is going up the mountain again. You must pay attention to safety and don't go into the mountains."

Shen Nian nodded obediently, "Yes, I know."

Li Xiuniang saw that her daughter looked cute but was actually rebellious. She was helpless and pulled her to sit down.

"Sister Nian, please sit down first. Your uncle and others have something to do with you."

 Shen Nian had doubts on his face.

Sit down obediently, put your hands on your knees, and look at your uncle.

 “What’s the matter?” she asked.

Shen Er looked at his daughter and saw that her little face was tender and her eyes were clear and bright. She was prettier than the pictures of beautiful ladies he had seen when he was young.

 Thinking again of what my elder brother said just now, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

 This is his daughter!

Shen Da didn't know what his second brother was saying, so he gave Shen Jie a hand and said to Shen Nian, "What I want to say has something to do with my cousin."

Facing his niece's still puzzled face, he added: "I heard from Brother Jie that you can do carpentry and your skills are very good.

 I went to Brother Gan’s house to see the carpentry work you did. It was indeed good..."

 Speaking of this, Shen Da paused and his voice was a little heavy.

“Sister Nian, you should know that your brother Jie has studied carpentry for two years. I would like to ask you to accept him as an apprentice.”

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Meng stepped forward and took Shen Nian's hand, saying, "Sister Nian, we are just here to ask you. If you have any concerns, just say so."

 She selfishly wanted her son to learn a trade.

  After all, it is the ability to eat, and it is useful at all times.

However, whether to teach or not depends on Sister Nian.

 Apprentice yourself? Shen Nian frowned.

 She has never studied seriously and doesn’t know how to teach others.

 You can do it just by looking at it, why do you need to learn it professionally?

Shen Jie felt nervous when he saw his cousin's expression. He forced a smile and said, "Nian Nian, is there any difficulty? If it is, forget it."

Shen Nian explained, "It's not that there's any difficulty, it's that I don't know how to teach others."

 The most important thing is that carpentry is just her hobby, and she doesn’t want to waste time on a pile of wood every day.

 Suddenly thinking of the drawing of the second-story bed, Shen Nian suddenly had an idea.

"Well, I'm going to the county tomorrow to sell the drawings of the two-story bed. If anyone is interested, I will add a condition that a professional carpenter will take Brother Jie as his apprentice." Being an apprentice is better than being a master.

Mengshi sat up straight and said in an excited voice, "This, this...thank you Sister Nian."

Shen Nian waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, uncle."

 She will not be stingy if she has the ability to help her family.

How could it be a smooth talk? Uncle Shen felt warm knowing that Sister Nian might be willing to sacrifice her own interests to find a place for her son.

He looked at Shen Jie and said seriously: "Brother Jie, if things really come true, remember Sister Nian's kindness. If it doesn't come true, just let go of your worries."

 Shen Jie responded with a smile on his face.

 After finishing the matter, the three people in the first room sat for a while and then left.

 Winter is coming soon, and there are a lot of trivial things to be busy with.

Brother Man threw down the stick and walked to Shen Nian's side, "Sister, are you going to the county tomorrow?"

“Yes, what do you want to do?” Shen Nian asked with a smile.

Man Geer pulled her sleeves and begged in a low voice: "Sister, can you take me there? I haven't been to the county yet."

This is not a troublesome matter, Shen Nian agreed, "Okay, I will take you there on horseback tomorrow."

 Man Ge'er's eyes widened, "...horse a horse?"

"Hmm." Shen Nian said, taking off the little helper he found for him from his wrist, "I picked up a little white snake on the mountain. I'll give it to you as a toy."

Others were shocked: "!!"

 Treat a snake as a toy?

Brother Man took the little white snake and wrapped it around his wrist like Shen Nian, without any fear at all.

 “Thank you, sister.”

 The eyes of Shen Er and others were twitching.

“Sister Nian, this snake...isn’t poisonous?”

Shen Nian looked at the nervous expressions of his family members who were facing a formidable enemy, and his eyes flashed. When they were just relieved, he said deliberately: "Yes, they will lie down after being licked once."

Li Xiuniang's expression changed, she pulled Shen Nian back, grabbed Brother Man's arm, and shook it! shake! shake!

While moving, he said anxiously: "Come down, come down quickly..."

Seeing that the snake was still entangled, she reached out to catch it in a hurry.

Shen Kun quickly stopped him, "Mom, my sister is teasing you."

Thinking of the scene of his mother grabbing Brother Man's arm and shaking it, his cheeks hurt from suppressing laughter.

Like Shen Er, he pinched his palms to keep from laughing.

Li Xiuniang was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw the smile on Shen Nian's face. She patted her on the back in a daze and said, "Gui Xia, even my mother is making fun of her. She deserves a beating."

 While saying this, his eyes were full of smiles and he even forgot about fear.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　．

 Early in the morning, Shen Nian led the horse and went out.

　Besides, Brother Man followed in small steps, his little face full of joy.

Let’s go to the county!

As the two were about to set off, Li Xiuniang said uneasily:

“Sister Nian, why don’t you load the car and let your second brother come with you, you are a little girl...”

"It's okay, I'm just going to discuss cooperation and buy some things along the way. Don't worry if anything happens." After saying that, Shen Nian bent down to pick up Brother Man and put him on the horse.

Suddenly he rose up from the ground, and the little guy was so frightened that he exclaimed, "Yeah - good, so high!"

The next moment, Shen Nian stepped on the stirrups and stood up, his body as light as a swallow.

“Dad, mother, eldest brother, second brother, let’s go.”

 After saying that, he flicked his riding whip, and the two of them rode away.

Few people in the village had ever seen a horse. Shen Nian and Man Geer passed by on horseback, but they blinded everyone.

Especially Man Geer took the time to wave to his friends, saying hello on the surface, but actually trying to show off.

Shen family: "!!" How can a snake be used as a toy?

Shen Nian: I have special skills in controlling animals.
