Chapter 25: Life and death are uncertain
Listening to Xiao Baozi's soft and glutinous words to protect her, Tian Mai kissed him several times on his little face, "Okay, my mother will rely on Zhuang Zhuang to protect her." "It's nice to have a leather jacket, and at a young age I said I wanted to protect her.
Little Bun giggled when she kissed her, and her little paws hugged her neck and smeared saliva on her face.
Qian stood not far away, watching the intimate interaction between Tian Mai and Xiao Baozi, with envy in her eyes, she also wanted a child, but...
After interacting with Xiao Baozi, Tian Mai looked up and met Qian's eyes with envy, she patted Xiao Baozi's hand on the quilt for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she called out to the third brother and sister.
Qian answered, walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother left breakfast for you, let you go to the kitchen to eat when you get up." She really envied her eldest brother's affection for her sister-in-law.
It's a pity that her life is not good, and she didn't meet such a good man as her eldest brother.
Tian Mai nodded and said yes, and went to the kitchen with the little bun in his arms.
For the sake of a certain man who will leave her breakfast, forgive him for the time being.
She sat down on a stool and reached for the lid of the pot, where there was a bowl of white porridge and two pancakes.
She took the white porridge and pancakes out of the pot, sat on another stool, and asked Xiao Baozi softly if she wanted to eat them.
Xiao Baozi shook his head and said he wouldn't eat it.
It was his mother's breakfast, and he couldn't eat it, otherwise, his mother would be hungry.
Tian Mai smiled and rubbed the little head of the little bun, picked up the white porridge and took a sip slowly.
When she was halfway through eating, she noticed an egg at the bottom of the bowl.
Her heart warmed, and she knew that this egg must have been specially saved by Zhao Darong and left for her to eat.
"Bad guy...", she muttered, took a small bite of the egg, turned her head to look at the little bun, "Zhuangzhuang, come..." she took a little egg and put it to Zhuangzhuang's mouth, and gave it to him.
Looking at the egg in front of him, Xiao Baozi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and finally twisted his little head and said that he didn't eat it.
Little fools...
Tian Mai was moved to coax him, saying that she couldn't finish eating and asked him to help eat.
Hearing this, Xiao Baozi turned his little head to look at her again, looked at the egg in front of him again, and only opened his mouth to eat it after a while.
"Good baby," she smiled and praised him, and fed the rest into his mouth, "Is it delicious?" ”
He nodded his little head and pushed her bowl with his little paws, telling her to hurry up and eat breakfast.
Tian Mai said yes, finished breakfast as quickly as possible, and washed the dishes before walking out of the kitchen with the little bun.
It was such a coincidence, as soon as she walked out, she met Sun, and she opened her mouth to call her mother.
Sun glared at her angrily, and scolded her with a long face, "Mother, what time is it?" Yes? Tell me, is there any mother-in-law in the village who is as lazy as you? "The boss is used to her, and he is used to her.
She felt that the boss didn't marry a daughter-in-law, but married an ancestor and came back.
She was blind at the beginning, why did she let the boss marry her?
At this moment, the Sun family completely forgot that she would let Zhao Darong marry Tian Mai because she heard that she didn't need any gift money to marry Tian Mai, so she tried her best to let Zhao Darong marry.
Tian Mai was silent, letting Sun scold, and when she was tired of scolding, she naturally stopped.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Baozi broke free of her hand, ran in front of her, opened his little hand to stop her, and said loudly to Sun, "Not allowed... Scolding the mother. He promised his father that he would protect his mother well and not let others bully her.
The scolding stopped, and Sun glanced at Xiao Baozi with a frown, and the anger in his heart became even greater.
Looking up at Tian Mai, he scolded even more, "Old man, how do you teach children?" Yes? A good child has been taught badly by you and does not know how to respect the elderly. I don't know what kind of ecstasy Tian Mai drank to the boss and his son, one by one towards her.
Tian Mai was afraid that Sun would scare Xiao Baozi, so he hurriedly picked him up and asked him to turn his back to Sun.
"Mother, are you so loud that you want the whole village to know that you are scolding your daughter-in-law?"
As long as Sun doesn't scold too much, she can look at Zhao Darong's face and endure a point or two, if it is too much, don't blame her.
As soon as the words fell, the scolding stopped abruptly.
Sun slapped his chest hard, and slapped the depression that was blocked in his chest.
"Go, go up the mountain and fetch firewood for me." If you don't bring back the firewood, you don't have to eat, you eat it for nothing.
Looking at the angry Sun, Tian Mai nodded and said yes.
It just so happened that she also wanted to go to the mountains to see what she could pick up?
Sun snorted coldly and dragged her fat body out of the door.
Facing the worried look of the Qian family, Tian Mai shrugged her shoulders and asked her to help take care of the little buns.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Baozi shouted that he was going too.
The last time I went up the mountain, I scared her, and she didn't dare to take the little bun anymore.
"Strong and good, is it okay to be at home with the third aunt? My mother will be back soon. ”
"No, go strong." He wants to protect his mother and can't leave her.
Tian Mai patted Xiao Baozi's back and coaxed him softly.
The little bun, who is usually coaxed, is not good today, so he insists on following her.
Looking at the little bun with tears in his eyes and wanting to cry or not, Tian Mai couldn't refuse him with a hard heart, and in the end, he nodded helplessly.
As soon as he saw Tian Mai nodding, Xiao Baozi immediately burst into tears and laughed, hugged her neck, and called her mother one after another.
She laughed, slapped his little ass lightly, and scolded the little villain.
Xiao Baozi giggled, rubbed her face against her neck, and said sweetly hello.
"If I don't take you there, it's my mother's bad, and if I take you there, I'm my mother's good, you say you're a little villain, huh?"
"No..."He's not a little villain, he's a good baby for his mother.
Tian Mai stretched out his fingers and scratched his armpit, "What's not, I think it's just." ”
The little bun was scratched and giggled again.
After playing with him for a while, Tian Mai wiped the physiological tears from the corners of her eyes with a smile, looked up and saw Qian standing on the side, and put the little bun in her arms with a change of hand.
"Come, play with the third aunt, and my mother will go get something."
With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen to look for woodcutters and other things.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you!" Qian stood at the door of the kitchen with a small bun and said to Tian Mai.
Tian Mai took the woodcutter and looked at her with a turn, "Did my mother tell you to do other work?" "If you don't, you can go together.
"My mother asked me to hunt pigweed, and I can also hunt it in the mountains."
"Okay, let's go together."
For several days in a row, Tian Wheat was sent by the Sun family to cut firewood in the mountains.
Although the work was a little tired, it was quite comfortable, and in response to this, Tian Wheat did not protest, and went up the mountain with a small bun when the point came.
It's also thanks to the little guy Xiaobaozi who accompanies her, chattering and talking, so that she doesn't feel bored.
"Mother, worm..."
Hearing the cry of Xiao Baozi, Tian Mai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked back at him.
This look startled her a lot.
Oh my god, this little guy is too bold to dare to catch a snake.
Looking at the snake that kept writhing in the little guy's hand, layers of goosebumps appeared on Tian Mai's body.
She nervously held the woodcutter in her hand, and squeezed out a little smile on her face, "Zhuangzhuang, you... You put it in... Put..."
Xiao Baozi took a few steps forward, opened her big innocent eyes and asked her, why did you let it go?
Resisting the urge to run away, Tian Mai cleared his throat, not daring to scare him, and slowed down his voice to explain, "It... Insects also have parents and parents, and if Zhuang Zhuang catches it, it will not be able to see his father and mother, then it will be very sad and sad. After a pause, he said: "If Zhuang Zhuang is captured by the bad guys, and he can't see his father and mother kiss, will Zhuang Zhuang be sad and sad?" ”
Tilting his little head and thinking about it, the little bun nodded his little head and said yes.
If he can't see his father and mother kissing him, he will want to cry.
"If you are strong, so will the worms." Tian Mai stared nervously at the snake in Xiao Baozi's hand, afraid that the snake would bite Xiao Baozi, "Let... Let's let it go, shall we? ”
"Good..."
As soon as Xiao Baozi finished speaking, he threw the snake in his hand to the ground, and as soon as the snake fell to the ground, he ran away.
Seeing the snake's rapid escape, Tian Mai somehow wanted to laugh.
She exhaled, threw the woodcutter to the ground, and quickly rushed over to pick up the little bun, closed her eyes, and slowed her heartbeat.
Is... It scared her to death.
The one just now seems to be a black snake, non-venomous, and usually a snake species that eats rats and frogs.
Even so, it scared her enough.
"Strong..."
"Mother... Strong in. ”
Tian Mai hugged him a little higher, the two looked at each other, and gave him a serious explanation, what is a snake and what is a worm?
This time he was lucky that the snake he caught didn't bite him, so what about next time? Will you be so lucky?
She didn't dare to think...
"Dead?" After listening to what she said, Xiao Baozi asked her suspiciously with a wink.
"Death means that you will never see your father and mother again, and if your father and mother lose their strength, they will be very sad, sad, sad, and sad, you know?"
"Don't cry..."Looking at Tian Mai's red eyes, Xiao Baozi stretched out his little paws to touch the corners of her eyes in a panic, "Zhuangzhuang... Don't dare, my mother doesn't cry. ”
Snorting, Tian Mai nodded, kissed his forehead again, and praised him.
After this, she didn't dare to stay on the mountain, so she hurriedly tied up the firewood and went down the mountain with the little bun.
As soon as she descended to the foot of the mountain, she saw Qian running towards her in a hurry.
She stepped forward and helped her up and asked her what was wrong?
Qian Shi gasped hard and said, "Big... Sister-in-law, something happened to my eldest brother, hurry... Come home. ”
Something went wrong?
Tian Mai's head went blank for a moment, he came back to his senses, threw the firewood he was carrying to the ground, and ran away.
When I ran to the door, I saw a large group of villagers gathered around the door, and I heard Sun's cry in my ears.
I don't know who shouted, Da Rong's daughter-in-law is back.
Suddenly, the villagers made way for her, and she fixed her eyes and clearly saw Zhao Darong lying on the ground covered in blood, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
