Chapter 237 The cotton coat is his defense
Mu Baobao was completely confused. "Are those wealthy people really bad? Have they ever done anything bad to me? Why should I be afraid of them?"
Mu Niuniu pinched her face and said, "My silly sister, it's not because of this. It's because my eldest brother thinks we are inferior to those wealthy families."
He could understand his elder brother's feelings, and he would also be a little nervous when he heard that he was going to attend a banquet of a wealthy family.
After all, that was the rumored banquet that only wealthy families could attend.
When he was in the underworld, he had heard people say that this kind of banquet was very luxurious and many wealthy families attended.
Mu Baobao was furious when he heard this, "We are not lowly!"
She took Mu Pingping's hand and said seriously, "Brother, this idea of yours is not a good idea."
"Where is our family lowly?"
"Grandma said that it is an honor for us to earn money to eat with our own hands."
Mu Pingping pulled the corner of his lip, "Baby, it's different."
"We earn money with our own hands, but we can't afford to eat meat every day or eat delicious food every day."
"But those wealthy families can do it. They can eat meat every day, eat delicious food every day, and spend money like water."
Mu Baobao was just about to say something else.
Cheng Zishi stopped him, "Baby, it's useless for you to say more now."
"Once we get to the banquet hall, everything will be fine."
Baby Mu didn't understand how to behave at the banquet, but he just obeyed and said, "Okay."
Cheng Zishi glanced at Mu Pingping, then turned around and started chatting with Mu Baobao about irrelevant topics.
Mu Niuniu didn't say anything more about this matter. He leaned against the carriage window and looked outside.
For children, it is a very happy thing to be able to come to town, even if it is just to look around.
"It's really cold today."
He exhaled a puff of white air and asked curiously, "Sir, why is the county magistrate holding a banquet in the middle of winter? Won't you be cold?"
Cheng Zishi smiled and said, "Rich families have floor heating, so the room is like April or May, and you can wear light clothes. That's why it's not cold to hold a banquet in the middle of winter."
"Underfloor heating!" Mu Baobao pulled his hand and asked anxiously, "Uncle, can my house be equipped with underfloor heating?"
"After installing the floor heating, I don't have to wear so many clothes at home and can move around freely."
Cheng Zishi said, "Yes, it is possible, but it will cost a lot of money."
"Besides, every time I use the floor heating, I have to spend money, and it's a lot of money."
When Mu Baobao heard this, his face immediately fell, "So much silver!"
"I thought you didn't want any money."
Cheng Zishi said, "Baby, you can actually choose to earn money and buy a house with floor heating in town. That will save you a lot of money."
Mu Baobao cried out, "That would cost a ton of money. I might not be able to earn that much."
She had to think about how to earn enough money to buy a big house.
Seeing that she was full of energy, Cheng Zishi did not disturb her. For Bao Bao, the problem was how to make so much money.
She will never be defeated by difficulties, nor will she create difficulties for herself.
Banquet hall.
It was held in the backyard of the county government office.
The backyard of the county government office is very spacious and is more than enough to host a small banquet.
When Cheng Zishi and his group arrived, almost everyone was there, even the county magistrate's family was entertaining the guests.
"Mr. Cheng, Doctor Deng!" The county magistrate came up to them with a smile on his face.
He glanced at Mu Baobao and the other children, then gestured to Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng, "This way, please."
"Mr. Cheng, Doctor Deng, I should send someone to pick you up."
Cheng Zishi waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "Why would we bother the county magistrate to send someone to pick us up? We can just come ourselves."
Baby Mu looked here and there curiously.
It’s really warm here, I don’t feel the cold outside at all.
"Uncle."
She pulled Cheng Zishi's hand and whispered, "I feel a little hot."
Cheng Zishi touched her hands and face, and confirmed that she was really a little hot, then he took off her cotton coat and handed it to the maid who was serving her.
He asked Mu Pingping and the other children, "Are you hot?"
Except for Mu Pingping, everyone took off their cotton coats.
Cheng Zishi saw that Mu Pingping was very uneasy and nervous. He looked here and there timidly and shook his head.
"The county magistrate doesn't need to take care of us. We'll just go around."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate ordered several maids to serve and went to entertain the guests.
The guests around looked at Cheng Zishi and his group and talked in low voices.
"That's Mr. Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng? What's with those children they brought with them?"
"Look at those kids, dressed like beggars. They're probably from some village. They're trying to get Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng to come to the banquet. I've seen a lot of people like them."
"We have to be careful to avoid being stuck with this kind of people."
Mu Baobao and the other children didn't hear any of this. Cheng Zishi brought them to the place where the food was placed, and they were attracted by the delicious food.
Mu Pingping heard it, which made him even more uncomfortable and inferior.
The people here really don't like them and look down on them.
He wants to leave.
"Brother, this cake is delicious." Mu Baobao handed a piece of cake to him and said with a smile, "Try it. I guarantee you will like it."
Mu Pingping suddenly withdrew his hand and hid it in his sleeve. "No, no."
He felt like he had entered a scary place, his whole body tense. "Baby, don't eat anything here."
"Why?" Mu Baobao stuffed the cake into his mouth and asked vaguely.
She suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, are you hot? Why don't you take off your clothes... wuwuwu!"
She stared blankly at her elder brother who was covering her mouth, not understanding what was going on and why he was covering her mouth.
"Brother!" Mu Niuniu was startled and quickly pulled Mu Pingping's hand away.
He squatted in front of Mu Baobao and checked her out. "Baby, are you feeling unwell?"
He was really worried that his elder brother would cause the baby to choke.
Mu Baobao swallowed the cake in his mouth and shook his head to indicate no. "Second brother, what's wrong with eldest brother? He's so weird."
Mu Niuniu wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth and said, "He is making himself uncomfortable. Don't worry about him, baby."
"Baby, I'll take you over there to eat something. There are delicious fruits over there."
After saying that, he took the wooden baby to the place where the fruits were placed.
Mu Pingping breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more nervous.
He just stood there, as if he was not wearing any clothes, feeling the malicious gazes and ridicules from all around him, and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He really wants to leave.
The guests around, out of consideration for Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng, only dared to whisper about Mu Baobao and the others and did not dare to actually dance in front of them.
They knew very well how serious the consequences would be if they offended Cheng Zishi and Dr. Deng.
When Cheng Zishi and Dr. Deng saw this scene, they looked at each other and realized that Pingping was really very inferior.
Unlike Niu Niu and the others, who come here to do nothing but eat and drink, and don't care at all about what people around them think of them.
"Take Pingping for a walk." Doctor Deng said in a low voice.
