Zanthoxylum bungeanum

Chapter 52

As soon as Niu San returned home, he complained angrily to his mother, "Mom, why did you call me back? I didn't show enough anger!"

"Your temper is so stubborn, don't even think about it. If you offend Lu Zhengyong like this, he will have to wear shoes for you in the future. Look, you won't have a role in helping the poor in the future." Niu San's mother became worried.

It's not that Niu San doesn't know, but Lu Zhengyong's son is too bad. Every year he dug up some good goods on the mountain, and he would always give him some. In the end, he didn't take advantage of his conscience.

"Mom, he's just a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to eat. We won't rely on him in the future."

Niu San's mother sighed, "It's too late to regret it now, you just have to know it yourself, go to the kitchen to eat, mom is covering it with burning coals, it must be still hot."

Niu San agreed, opened the bag, took out the biscuits and candies inside, and handed them over, "Mom, this is from the swallow. You can save it for when you have no taste in your mouth."

Niu San's mother took it and carefully looked at these colorful candies, then handed them over, "Mom doesn't want it, you give it to Meilan."

"Mom, I bought a silver bracelet for her in the county today, so you can keep the food!" Niu San told his mother.

Niu San's mother forced the food into her son's hands, "Give it to her, but when will Meilan tell her son that she wants to live with you?"

"Mom, I can't just forget you if I have her." Niu San stuffed the food into her pocket and said, "She will say it when Xiaokang comes back for the New Year."

Niu San's mother looked at her son and said worriedly, "She said the same thing last year, but it turned out..."

"Mom, last year Xiaokang's girlfriend who was talking outside didn't want to come back with him. Meilan saw that he was not in a good mood, so she didn't open her mouth." Niu San could understand that it was a bit inappropriate to tell him that the child was alone. .

"We should have said it on the phone early so that Xiaokang can prepare well." Niu San's mother was still worried.

Niu San interrupted his mother, "Don't worry, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Niu San's mother had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. In the spring of the year before last, Ding Meilan was bitten by a poisonous snake hiding inside while holding corn stalks on the slope.

The son happened to be working on the slope of his own house, and ran over when he heard the call for help.

It was a seven-step fall, and it was bitten at the open neckline. It was supposed to avoid suspicion. In order to save his life, his son didn't care so much and had to give her drugs.

After Li Lanfen, who was also working nearby, ran over, his son handed him over to her to take care of him, and immediately went to the mountains to collect anti-venomous snake medicine.

Ding Meilan was grateful to him, so she made a few pairs of shoes for her son, and they would be able to wear them after going back and forth.

Niu San's mother didn't know it at first, but when she got up at night one day, she found her son was not in the room, the quilt was neatly folded, and he didn't come back until dawn.

She didn't say anything, and quietly followed her son the next night, only then did she know where he had gone.

Ding Meilan is a year or two older than her son, and she is also a miserable person. When the child was ten years old, the man left. In the early years, her parents-in-law and her mother-in-law did not allow her to reconnect with others. Five or six years ago, both old men left. People in the village wanted to invite a matchmaker to speak, but she refused, saying that it would be fine to rely on their children to support them in the future.

Now that she is with her son, Niu San's mother is very happy. After a hundred years, he will not have to be alone, but I don't know if Xiaokang wants them to be together.
