Chapter 396
Tong Xiaowu doesn't care either, who doesn't tell people behind their backs, who doesn't get told behind their backs?As long as they don't offend her, she doesn't have the same knowledge as them.

After passing the ditch, Tong Xiaowu saw Xiaolan and Xiaohu standing on the edge of the ditch, they looked at her with light in their eyes.

"Come here..." She stretched out her hand in greeting.

The two children were a little shy, but they finally walked in front of her, "Little aunt, thank you for the food you gave us yesterday. It's really delicious. I haven't eaten white flour steamed buns in a year. It's really delicious... ..."

Xiaolan thanked her with a smile on her face, while Xiaohu on one side was a little awkward and didn't dare to look at her.

"You're welcome, by the way, Xiaolan, where did you pick those flowers you gave me, they are so beautiful?" Tong Xiaowu asked.

"Just behind the mountain, past this forest, there is a waterfall behind the mountain. There are such flowers growing beside the waterfall. Isn't it very fragrant?" Xiaolan replied happily.

"Well, not bad! Let's go to my house, I'll make you some delicious food at noon!" Anyway, it's not interesting, so I took the two children back home and made some food, which can be regarded as a relief.

"Thank you, Auntie..."

Bi Chen walked out of the house and greeted them. Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the three of them, it took a long time before she asked, "Mother...mother, where have you been?"

In fact, she saw Tong Xiaowu when she went to Li Chang's house, but she didn't know what to say because she was patient with others.

Hearing Bichen's address, Tong Xiaowu couldn't hold back her laughter, looked back at her, and replied, "I'm going to the Li Chang's house, by the way, this year everyone's tax money is [-] Wen, and then we have to prepare OK!"

"Okay ma'am, no problem..." After Bichen finished speaking, she realized that she had made a mistake and stuck out her tongue. Fortunately, this kind of address is okay, and it is also used between husband and wife.

Tong Xiaowu shook her head, "Take your time!"

The two children didn't know what charades they were playing, they only knew that there was somewhere to eat at noon today, so they happily followed Tong Xiaowu to her house.

It has been a long time since I cooked, Tong Xiaowu looked at the vegetables, potatoes, cabbage, yams, dried fish, vermicelli, fungus, etc., there were quite a lot. Xiaolan on the side saw these and said in surprise, "Auntie, Your family is really rich, so much delicious food!"

"It's not rich, it's just ordinary!" Tong Xiaowu reached out and stroked Xiaolan's hair, "By the way, Xiaolan, how much older are you than Xiaohu, and why are you about the same size?"

"I'm two years older than him! I grow up slowly!" Xiaolan replied happily, her eyes were on the vegetables, her face was full of happiness.

In this day and age, for the poor, having enough to eat is the happiest thing.

What grows slowly is malnutrition. You can tell by the appearance of these two children.

"At noon, let's mix fungus and cucumber with cold, stew dried fish in oil, and then stir-fry shredded potatoes! It's all simple..." Tong Xiaowu said while taking out the ingredients needed from these supplies.

Xiaohu on one side stared wide-eyed, watching all this.

"Auntie, I'll help you..." Xiaolan was very sensible and had already gone to fetch water to wash the vegetables.

Seeing this scene, Bichen walked over, "Wang..."

Before the concubine word came out, Tong Xiaowu had already turned her head and gave her a warning look, and she quickly changed her words, "Well, lady, let me do it!"

As she said that, she snatched the things from Tong Xiaowu's arms and walked out. She had a look of embarrassment on her face. It would be better to send her to fight the enemy than to let her be the concubine's husband. It's really difficult.

Everyone helps, and the cooking is fast. Soon, three dishes and one soup, with pot stickers and pancakes, are ready.

The dinner table has been set, the two children look at each other and I look at you, neither of them took the initiative to sit at the table, they didn't sit down until Tong Xiaowu said hello.

"Thank you..." Finally, Xiaohu opened his mouth to speak. Although there were only two words, it seemed that he had made a lot of determination to say them.

"It's okay, eat more!" Tong Xiaowu picked up food for the two children.

After dinner, Tong Xiaowu mended the clothes of the two children with a needle and thread, and then let them go back.

That afternoon, Xiaohu and Xiaolan came to Tong Xiaowu's yard. Needless to say, they rolled up their sleeves and began to help straighten the land in the yard.

"Auntie, I have radish and cabbage seeds at home. It's dog days, and I'm afraid it's too late to grow other vegetables. Your yard is so big, why don't you plant some cabbage and radishes, and you can harvest them in autumn!"

"We can do it ourselves, you don't need to help!" Tong Xiaowu watched the two children busy, and went forward to grab the two children's hoes. Xiaohu became angry when he saw this scene.

"Don't move, we will help if we say we want to help. I borrowed the food and food yesterday, and I will definitely return it. But today, I have to help. I don't get paid for nothing. I don't want to get your things for nothing... "Xiaohu's face was stubborn.

Seeing this scene, Tong Xiaowu let go of her fingers, "Okay, you can help me, okay?"

Seeing this scene, Bi Chen laughed, "I thought this kid was rude before, but now, it seems that he is a man who values ​​affection, justice, kindness, and integrity."

Xiaohu laughed happily when he heard Bichen's praise.

The two children didn't let them get started, and with their own efforts, they helped plant the yard.

In the evening, Tong Xiaowu left her two children to eat here, but they disagreed with each other, saying that it was okay to eat once, and they couldn't eat at her house all the time.

In the evening, Tong Xiaowu was leaning on the armchair, lying in front of the window and fell asleep, Bichen was fetching water to water the garden, she looked back at Tong Xiaowu who was sleeping soundly, her heart was complicated, she was a princess, here It's unbearable to suffer like this.

Fortunately, she was doing as the Romans did, and didn't find anything unaccustomed to it. She only hoped that the prince could settle down quickly, so that he could take the princess back for a reunion.

Early the next morning, Tong Xiaowu went to find Xiaolan with her basket on her back. Xiaolan was sitting at the door worrying, when she saw Tong Xiaowu, she called out, "Little aunt, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, let's go, let's go to the back mountain and pick some lilies!"

Xiao Lan looked at her and shook her head, "No, I'm going to the village to grind cornmeal today."

"Didn't I give you half a generation of rice? You can grind the noodles again tomorrow..."

When Xiaolan heard this, she lowered her head and did not speak. Seeing her like this, Tong Xiaowu walked forward. She looked at the shabby hut in the yard and asked, "Where's the rice I gave you?"

"Why are you asking this? Anyway, I borrowed it, and I will definitely return it to you." Suddenly, Xiaohu ran over from the edge of the ditch, covered in sweat, and came to his sister. The corn is carried on the back.

"Let's go, I've checked. There's no one there. Let's go now. We'll be ranked right now!"

"What's the matter with the number one? The two of us can't push the mill at all! Besides, even if we can push it, grinding the corn into flour is not enough to pay off the debt."
