Chapter 19 Beating the Long-tongued Woman
"Of course, can that tiger skin be worthless? Hey, it was originally a trap that my Wang Tieniu set in the forest. He pinched the tiger's leg and let Su Xiaoxiao There is a chance to kill the tiger. Really, this little wife is quite unreasonable. Did you know that when my son and I went to ask for the tiger skin, she almost killed us?"
Grandma Wang said very reluctantly.
"No, this little lady is lucky."
"You said her life is good? How about Ke Fu? I think she just took the wrong medicine recently or just got lucky. I think she is very arrogant. Sooner or later, she will suffer. Let's see how many days she can be proud. !”
Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that she pretended to cough a few times. The fence was not high anyway, so she turned around and looked over the fence.
It was indeed Granny Wang and a talkative woman in the village who were talking about her.
"Hey, have both aunts finished eating?"
The two old ladies took a look and realized that Su Xiaoxiao had heard them talking about her just now. Looking a little embarrassed, the long-tongued woman quickly smiled awkwardly: "We have eaten, have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten yet. But I think you two have eaten enough for dinner, right? Why don't you just chat here?"
"Ah, indeed, I'm full..."
The long-tongued woman smiled awkwardly and replied. Grandma Wang could tell that there was a thorn in her words and she was hurting them.
She dragged the woman with the long tongue away unhappily.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to them. It's human nature not to see other people's lives well.
After Su Xiaoxiao gathered firewood, she went into the house to make a fire and cook.
"Mom, how do you have money to buy so many good things today?"
Dabao asked Su Xiaoxiao very puzzledly.
Su Xiaoxiao replied while lighting the fire: "That's because Mom sold the tiger skin today, and the money she got in exchange bought you these delicious foods."
"I thought this money was..."
Dabao stopped talking halfway through. Su Xiaoxiao knew what he wanted to say, "You still think I want to sell you for this money? Dabao, please stop pretending to be mature in the future, okay? Mom told you, no one can be missing in this family. , I won’t sell it to anyone!”
Dabao nodded as if understanding.
"Your responsibility is to take care of your sister Xiaobao every day, and leave it to your mother to take care of the food and drinks at home. Remember? You just have to have fun every day."
After listening to this, Dabao suddenly looked at me blankly.
"Mom, you have really changed. You are completely different from the mother you were a few days ago..."
Su Xiaoxiao realized that she had said too much, so she quickly pretended to be impatient and said something.
"By the way, you don't just remember to play, you also have to help me with some work from time to time. I think the firewood in the yard is running out again. If you have nothing to do, go out to the field to pick up some dry branches and come back. Do you hear me?"
"Hey, I know!"
Dabao was so frightened that he ran away.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she couldn't become too good right away. It was a bit of a transition, otherwise, she would be easily exposed.
It seems that I was still too domineering before, but now it is a bit difficult to become a good person.
Tonight, Su Xiaoxiao cut the pork she bought at the market into small pieces, bought some celery, and made a stir-fried pork with celery.
This time there is salt and other seasonings, and the stir-fried dishes are indeed very fragrant.
The two children smelled the fragrance and ran out of the back room, clapping their little hands and wandering around Su Xiaoxiao.
"It smells so good! Mom, we want to eat it!"
Seeing these two little carrot heads looking so happy and full of love, she really didn't know what to say.
Su Xiaoxiao secretly vowed that she would make her children well-fed and raise them healthy in the future. Eat rice and meat every day.
After dinner, the kang in the room was also warm.
She brought a bowl of rice and vegetables to the young man, "Would you like to get up and eat something? You haven't eaten anything all day, right?"
The young officer looked at the vegetables and rice in the bowl and looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.
Su Xiaoxiao cooked some porridge and stir-fried vegetables for the man this time, considering that he was not in good health and could not eat dry rice.
The young officer was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Su Xiaoxiao's family could bring out rice to make porridge for himself.
When he came into contact with the two children during the day, he actually began to feel that the two children were cute, and he slowly began to want to open his heart.
After the two children finished eating, their bellies were round and they lay down to sleep, and soon fell asleep.
The night was very quiet, and Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was very happy now.
In the middle of the night, Xiaobao fell asleep in a daze. He crawled over to find Su Xiaoxiao, crawled into her arms, then found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Su Xiaoxiao was so cute by her behavior that she quietly wiped the sweat on her head with her hand.
When Su Xiaoxiao got up the next morning and dressed them, she discovered that Xiaobao's clothes were all leftovers from Dabao's clothes. The clothes were either patched or had holes in them. A slight tug would immediately tear them open.
Dabao's clothes were also torn and a little short, with his belly exposed. Su Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed. Why didn't she see it?
But when I saw that the tattered clothes I was wearing were similar, I thought that I had to make new clothes for my two children today no matter what.
The cloth was bought, that's all. Su Xiaoxiao sighed. She can't make clothes.
When Dabao saw Su Xiaoxiao sighing, he thought Su Xiaoxiao was unhappy again.
He came over quickly and asked cautiously: "Mom, did we disobey and make you unhappy? If you are unhappy, just hit me!"
As he spoke, he raised his butt and faced Su Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, just hit me alone, don't hit Xiaobao."
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the way the original owner used to punch and kick the two babies every day, and she felt very sorry. She quickly hugged Dabao with one hand and Xiaobao with the other, hugged them both at the same time and said: "Don't worry, if you do any bad things in the future, Mom won't hit you. Mom's fists will only be directed at outsiders, who I will beat anyone who bullies our family!"
Dabao and Xiaobao laughed happily in Su Xiaoxiao's arms.
"Of course, our mother is very powerful and has killed a big tiger!"
Dabao said with pride.
"Mom, why is eldest brother still sleeping?" Dabao asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"He is sick and we allow him to stay in bed!"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed when she said this, and took a peek at the face of the young officer next to her.
He still closed his eyes tightly, wondering if he was awake.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little hot on her face. Something embarrassing happened to her last night.
After Su Xiaoxiao packed up last night, it was almost the second watch when she came over to prepare for bed.
It's almost fifteen these days, and the moon outside is getting rounder and brighter.
Through the moonlight, she saw the young man lying on the kang. His fair face and eyelashes were long and thick. She recalled the way he opened his eyes to look at her during the day, with a pair of narrow red phoenix eyes.
