Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 502 Peanut Peeling Mission is Over

When Yunqing spoke, there was both joy and worry in her eyes.

The whole family is immersed in the longing for future life as the New Year approaches.

Zhan Mengyan wore gloves every day and insisted on shelling several sacks of peanuts. When she delivered the peanut kernels to the supply and marketing cooperative, she received praise from the quality inspectors, and every delivery was of first-class quality.

When Zhan Mengyan heard the praise from the quality inspector of the supply and marketing cooperative, the pain in her red and swollen hands was gone. The joy in her heart was like a field blown by the spring breeze, instantly full of flowers.

As Zhan Mengyan peeled more and more peanuts, her speed in peeling them also became perfect. The strength of her fingertips seemed to be endowed with magic. She could easily crack the hard shells, revealing the plump kernels. Each kernel warmed Zhan Mengyan's heart like a little sun.

Finally, Zhan Mengyan was reading a book while peeling peanuts, so she could study and peel peanuts at the same time. Once the peanuts were in her hands, she could find the opening point accurately by just touching them without looking at them - pinching the tip of the peanut and squeezing it hard, the pink peanut kernel would slide into her palm.

The good times didn’t last long. The supply and marketing cooperative completed its peanut processing task and all the peanuts were peeled.

"Zhan Mengyan, your peanut-shelling days are over. It's time to heal your hands. I see your hand is shaking even when you hold a pen. Don't wait until school starts and you still can't hold a pen steadily, or you won't be able to take notes in class. Today we're going to the nursing home to show our support for the performance. Can you come with me? I've been rehearsing for so long, and you haven't even seen our yangko troupe perform yet."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she picked up her costume with one hand and held Zhan Mengyan with the other.

"If you don't want to go, I want to stay home and read a book and help my mother clean the house. Chinese New Year is only two days away."

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she broke free from Zhan Yingying's hand.

"Zhan Mengyan, you've changed. You used to love watching the fun, but now I find that you, like brother Zixun, don't like going out. It would be great if you two were reborn in ancient times, never leaving the house, and just be ladies from wealthy families. Also, I remember when you were in elementary school, you were always kind enough to help the five-guarantee households and the lonely elderly - you never got tired of picking up firewood, cleaning, and washing clothes. Today, when I told you to go to the nursing home to perform, how come you don't have any enthusiasm at all? I have to take a good look at my sister Mengyan. Now she has an extra nose and three eyes, all looking up!"

When Zhan Yingying spoke, she deliberately stared at Zhan Mengyan.

"Mengyan, go take a walk with your sister Yingying. Don't you feel bored these days, peeling peanuts, reading, reading, peeling peanuts over and over again? The New Year is coming soon, let's change our mood. There's no rush to clean up. I'll do it slowly by myself first. When you two come back, the three of us will do it together. It would be best if you could take Zhan Zixun with you as well. He stays at home all day, and he should go out for some fresh air."

As Yunqing spoke, she looked at Zhan Zixun who was sitting in the corner reading a book.

Zhan Yingying and Zhan Mengyan went to call Zhan Zixun to go to the nursing home to watch the performance of the village yangko troupe, but Zhan Zixun flatly refused.

"Who's a grown man who wants to watch Yangko? If you two want to go, go ahead. Don't bother me. I don't want to join in the fun. It's a mess and annoying. Go away, go away!"

When Zhan Zixun spoke, he did not raise his head and held the book tightly in his hands.

"Wuthering Heights! Brother Zixun, you didn't let me read it, but you were completely fascinated by it. Why are you saying this and hitting your mouth?"

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she snatched the book from Zhan Zixun's hand and looked at the cover.

"I just finished a lot of math problems. I need to rest now and change my mind. I'm trying to combine work and rest. What do you know? Give me back my book."

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he snatched the book back.
