Chapter 27 The Shy Nancy
Regardless of other people's eyesight, Nancy raised her little head. Her beautiful little face was flushed red and her soft little fingers were nervously grabbing at Dad's pants. Her big black and white eyes looked at Dad, and then she nodded obediently and said gently.
"Okay."
After speaking that, she tried her best not to be so nervous. She pursed her mouth tightly, rubbed her two soft fingers together, and ran to Grandpa with her short legs. Then she ran into her Grandpa's arms.
"Grandpa."
She called Grandpa like a little milky cat, gently and sweetly.
The elder man hugged the little girl and touched her hair. "Nancy, don't be afraid. Grandpa and Dad are here. These are your uncles and aunts, and they are your Dad's colleagues."
Nancy replied gently with her curled eyelashes trembled. She raised her small head in Grandpa's arms. Her fluffy soft hair was so cute that she was like a little princess who had been raised in a deep palace for a long time, timid but clever. The little face was so delicate and beautiful.
"Hello, uncles and aunts..." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
With the encouragement of Grandfather, Nancy looked at those people with her big moist eyes, and spoke with them politely and gently.
The youngest of these people were in their thirties, some had their own kids, some didn't. At this moment, they looked at the sweet little girl, feeling their hearts were melted, and they smiled more
gently.
"Hey, Nancy, nice to meet you."
"Attagirl."
They greeted with a smile, although they wanted to hug the little girl, now was obviously not the right time.
"Come in."
They started to work. Nancy carefully glanced at Dad and the other people, then she turned off the cartoon directly, so as not to disturb them.
Grandpa seemed to know what she was thinking, raised his hand and rubbed her hair, and sighed in his heart. His granddaughter was really good. In fact, he hoped Nancy can be as willful and even naughty as other children.
But she was so cute and warm, who could be hardhearted to blame her?
Nancy didn't feel boring without watching cartoons. She didn't understand their work, so the little girl concentrated on eating.
She put the saucer with grapes in front of her, picked up one with her little finger and started peeling the grapes.
The purple grape skin was peeled off to reveal the crystal clear and emerald green flesh inside. She shook her feet a few times, then turned her head and fed a grape to her grandfather.
Seeing her grandfather eat it, she smiled and curved her eyes. Under the warm light, her short fluffy hair seemed to exude a soft light, her star eyes were shining brightly, and her smile was very
healed.
Those who haven't started reporting or had finished reporting couldn't help but sneak a peek at Nancy, thinking that Nancy was indeed the member of the Brook family who looked like Ms. Brook most. Especially for her delicate eyes and eyebrows.
However, there was a big difference in personality from Ms. Brook. The late old lady was an elegant and noble woman, while Nancy was as soft as a furry animal who would never lose her temper.
But who knew what would happen in the future. As a girl of the Brook family, even if she seemed to be a soft touch, no one could bully her.
Nancy peeled the grape skins and stuffed one into her mouth. The grape was a bit big, and only one grape could fill her small mouth. Her mouth was full of the sweet fragrance of grape pulp.
One for grandpa, one for myself, and then one for dad. I'll put it in a clean plate. She thought.
In this way, she silently counted grapes for three people. The small plate was already piled with grapes like a hill.
Nancy counted carefully, there were already eight grapes for Dad.
Hmm...go and see the other fruits.
"Grandpa, have bananas."
She gave Grandpa a banana, and then Nancy wiped her fingers and began to take off the shell of the sugar-fried chestnuts.
But the shell was a little hard to be removed.
Nancy looked at her little hand, it was soft but there were some hard calluses in her palm, which were formed during farming in the countryside for a long time. She was still young after all, after being carefully cleaned and maintained since she returned to the Brook family, her hands looked tender and a little fair. Her complexion was difficult to be darker. But no matter how difficult it was, her complexion was dull after being exposed to the sunshine for a long time without taking any protective measures.
On the soft fingers, the nails were neatly trimmed and they were clean, but...
She used her nails to remove the shell of the chestnut, but it didn't work.
"Let me help you."
The elder man pinched the flat ends, and with a small clear sound, the chestnut shell cracked.
Nancy's eyes widened, she looked at Grandpa with adoration.
It was just a trivial matter, but the elder man thought it was even more happy than earning several millions!
"This is not as difficult to peel as raw chestnuts, would you like to have a try? "
Nancy nodded her head like a chicken was pecking at rice, and pinched it like grandpa did just now, click... it worked.
Nancy smiled "(^w^)"
It really worked!
"Grandpa, look ! "
The excited small Nancy raised her voice, but it was still gentle.
"It's amazing."
Grandpa gave Nancy a thumbs up.
Being praised, Nancy was happy but she was a little shy. Her dark eyes shined brightly. She removed the chestnut shell and put the soft, waxy and sweet chestnut pulp into a small plate.
"This is for Dad. "
She shook her little foot happily.
Mr. Brook hummed, "Where is mine?"
Nancy's clean and innocent eyes looked at the chestnut in the elder man's hand.
Mr. Brook: "This one doesn't count. "
"Well, I'll peel one for Grandpa."
Her indulgent and gentle voice was like coaxing an ignorant child, and the elder man was dumbfounded for a moment.
But after eating the soft and sweet chestnut peeled by Nancy, he was instantly satisfied.
After peeling the third chestnut, Nancy treated herself. She supported her little chin with her soft little hands. With a chestnut in her mouth, her cheeks were round, and her big eyes were full of satisfaction which made her look like a vivid hamster.
When the others finished their work and left, Nancy thought that her Dad wasn't not that busy. She took fruit and snacks and ran over with her short legs and said softly, "Dad, have them. Then you can continue to work."
Then she put the small plate which was full of grape pulp, strawberry, apple bunnies, chestnuts and other dried fruit pulp in front of her Dad.
James Brook pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly after the high-intensity work. Seeing that the little girl was carrying so much food for him, he felt that all the tired feelings were swept away in an instant.
"Nancy prepared so much food for Dad? "
The little girl nodded and gave him a strawberry.
"Dad, have a rest. You're tired."
James kissed her little face gently, and then ate the fruit she gave.
