Chapter 40

At the dinner table, Zheng Zhaodi hadn't returned from her natal home.

Zhang Xiuxiang asked Old Madam Jiang, "Mother, are you still waiting for the second sister-in-law to eat?"

Mrs. Jiang smoked her old pipe and snorted, "If I am the king of heaven, how can I still wait for her? Wait, can my mother care about her food?"

Today's meal was cooked by Li Hongxiu and Zhang Xiuxiang.

Dried sweet potatoes are put in the corn paste, and it is boiled for a full hour, and the dried sweet potatoes are almost melted in. It is soft and glutinous, and it smells both the fragrance of corn and the sweetness of dried sweet potatoes.

Don't mention how happy the children are eating.

Even Mrs. Jiang ate half a bowl too much.

Li Hongxiu watched Qin Xiyan finish drinking a bowl of corn mush, and put down the bowl.

She got up hurriedly, without giving Qin Xiyan a chance to speak, she picked up the bowl and went to the kitchen to fill up the paste.

Qin Xiyan pursed his lips.

He glanced at Nuan Bao from the corner of his eye.

The little girl was secretly looking at him and smiling, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

Not only the corn is mushy, but also the Wowotou Li Hongxiu is squeezed so big that the children have to take one after eating.

This was Qin Xiyan's first satisfactory meal after coming to Jiang's house.

After dinner, the family squatted in the main room chatting.

Half of the little beans were throwing sandbags in the yard, and the other half were playing with tigers and eating children inside the house.

It is to draw a grid on the ground, the stone represents the tiger, and the wooden blocks represent the child. Walk along the grid line. The child must avoid the tiger all the time, and the tiger must eat the child with all his heart.

Children can also counterattack, as long as they surround the tiger in a circle, the tiger will die.

Whoever is left at the end wins.

After Dahua lost to Xiaoqiang, she said, "I don't want to play with you anymore."

Xiaoqiang snorted and ran out to play with sandbags.

Just now Dahua pulled him to play, he kindly played with Dahua, but Dahua got angry when he lost, really.

Who wants to play with such a child.

No one was playing with Da Hua, so she went to find Nuan Bao again, "Nuan Bao, do you want to play with the tiger and eat the child?"

Nuan Bao shook her head, "Sister Da Hua, I don't want to play today."

Stamping her feet in a big way, she pointed at Qin Xiyan and said, "You only play with Xiangxiang and him now, don't you? My mother is right, you are flattering my aunt and uncle, you are a little sycophant, a sycophant!"

Nuan Bao said in a soft voice, "I'm not a sycophant, I just don't want to play tonight, so I can play with you tomorrow, okay?"

Da Hua pushed Nuan Bao violently, "I will never play with you again!"

Nuan Bao staggered and fell to the side.

With a snap, he fell to the ground.

The adults who were chatting all looked over.

Jiang Laosi reacted the fastest, got up immediately, ran to the little girl quickly, hugged Nuanbao, his eyes were filled with distress, "Honey, where did you fall? Show daddy?"

Seeing that she had gotten into trouble, Dahua was afraid of being scolded by her grandma, so she hurriedly lied and said, "Fourth Uncle, Nuanbao fell by himself."

Nuanbao: "..."

She patted the soil in her hands, and the crimson gown was also dirty.

She felt very distressed.

I also feel sorry for my mother who has to wash clothes for herself.

The little nanny said righteously, "Sister Dahua, lying is bad behavior. Lying will grow a nose and a tail. If you walk on the street, everyone will know that you are a liar."

Dahua shrinks her neck in fright, "I..."

Mrs. Jiang already knew everything, "Da Hua, tell grandma the truth, how did Sister Nuan Bao fall down?"

Dahua talked about me for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears, "You are all bad people, I want to find a mother—"

Wang Guiying sighed, "By the way, why hasn't his second aunt come back yet?"

Nuan Bao secretly thought in his heart: Maybe he fell down on the road, or he was blocked by the big yellow dog of Grandpa Chang's house at the entrance of the village.

It's too late, it's too soon.

There was a wolf howling outside the door, "Jiang Jianguo, mother, help—"

It was Zheng Zhaodi's voice.

Listen to everyone, help?What's the matter with saving lives?
Everyone hurried out.

The men of the Jiang family all held shovels and hoes, and the women each held a stick.

The bold boy insisted on following him to have a look, but was scolded by Mrs. Jiang with a cold face.

Dahua was stunned, "I heard it was my mother calling for help."

Nuan Bao ignored her.

She squeezed a stone for playing with tigers and eating children in her hand, and walked up to Qin Xiyan, "Little brother, don't be afraid, Nuanbao will protect you!"

Qin Xiyan: "..."

After a while, the family came back in a hurry.

Zheng Zhaodi was at the end.

Her hair was messed up like a chicken coop, covered with all kinds of weeds, branches, and debris, as if she had fallen from the mountain.

The clothes on his body were not much better, a few trouser legs were torn, and a good pair of trousers was ruined like this.

She sobbed into the main room.

Twitching, he said, "Mom, I just saw that big dog eating at the village head, so I kicked it, but the beast chased me and wouldn't let go. You said I was still holding Jinbao, How can I run faster than a beast, look what my pants are like? I just wore these pants..."

Old Madam Jiang stared at Zheng Zhaodi with a ferocious expression.

A pair of weather-beaten eyes, drooping down, not angry and majestic, "Aren't you cheap? Animals don't provoke you, but you rush to provoke animals? Why are you even worse than an animal?"

Zheng Zhaodi was scared and tired, and her nerves were about to collapse.

The beast chased her and howled, and she ran and ran desperately.

It was getting late and there were few people on the road, so they didn't dare to do anything rashly to the animals.

She froze and ran from the village to the door of the house with Jin Bao in her arms.

I don't know how many somersaults I fell on the road.

My legs are all blue.

This is the bloody bad luck of eight lifetimes!

She suddenly glanced at Qin Xiyan.

It must be him who brought the bad luck, he and Nuan Bao are a pair of little broom stars.

She changed her lucky star luck.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her in disdain, and said impatiently, "Go and wash it quickly, the cow dung and dog poop will be buried to death."

Zheng Zhaodi sighed and went out holding the hem of her clothes.

Mrs. Jiang rubbed her eyes, "Go back to your room and sleep, I'm going to make some trouble, what kind of shit?"

Everyone sighed, and took their children back to the house to sleep.

Nuan Bao and Li Hongxiu were still resting in the main room.

Zhou Xiangxiang insisted on sleeping next to Sister Nuanbao.

Just as Nuan Bao lay down, she suddenly remembered something. She sat up suddenly, and crawled down the kang with a groan.

Li Hongxiu asked in surprise, "Nuan Bao, what's wrong?"

Nuan Bao put on her little shoes with a smile on her face, "Mom, you lie down, I'll get grandma the urinal."

After speaking, she flew out like a little butterfly.

I didn't expect to meet Zheng Zhaodi in the hut.

Nuan Bao pursed her pink and tender lips, "Second Aunt."

Zheng Zhaodi snorted, ignored Nuanbao, and Bai deliberately touched Nuanbao when entering the hut.

Nuan Bao shook her body.

She was originally very angry with the second aunt, but seeing her being chased by dogs tonight, she felt so pitiful.

Nuan Bao stood on the spot, tilted her head, and said thoughtfully, "Second Aunt, the hut is dark, be careful, don't fall."
