Look outside, it's already evening, I didn't expect to toss for so long just now.

"Crunch", a string of footsteps came in, followed by two milky shouts: "Mother, mother, we are back!" As soon as the words fell, two small figures, one big and one small, ran into the house, put their schoolbags on the bed, and snuggled up to Lan Xi's side together.

Although he is not his own biological child, Lan Xi is happy in his heart, and the warmth between mother and son and mother and daughter rises between the three of them.

Son Chunsheng climbed onto the bed, pounded his little fist hard, and asked while pounding: "Mother, is this strength good?" Need a little more energy? ”

Lan Xi hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, very good, my mother is very comfortable!" ”

And the youngest daughter Qiumei snuggled tightly to Lan Xi, and said glutinously: "Mother, I miss you at school today!" Did you miss me? ”

Listening to her little daughter's soft voice, Lan Xi's whole heart melted, touching Qiumei's soft little hair, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: "Baby, I don't know if you also miss your mother?" "I burst into tears when I thought about it.

Tears fell, Qiu Mei immediately found out, and hurriedly raised her head: "Mother, where are you uncomfortable?" Tell us quickly, my mother doesn't cry! Son Chunsheng also hurriedly turned to Lan Xi, wiped away Lan Xi's tears with his little hands, and asked in a panic: "Mother, is my strength too great?" ”

Looking at the reaction of the two children, the dirty little face was full of horror, Lan Xi felt a burst of self-blame in his heart, how could he show his fragility to the children, such a young heart needs to be cared for, the hardships of life have made them frightened birds, if they are not stronger, then what should the children do? What a poor two children, for the sake of the children, Lan Xi, you have to hurry up and become stronger.

At this moment, there was another sound of heavy footsteps in the courtyard, and as the footsteps approached, a man walked in. The clothes on his body were very torn, the key was dirty, and the skin on his face was dry, producing many wrinkles that did not match his age, making it impossible to tell how old he was.

Lan Xi knew that this was Zheng Laoxiao.

Looking at the picture of the mother and son snuggling up to each other in the house, Zheng Laoxiao originally wanted to grin, but when he saw the obvious fear in the eyes of the three of them, he turned to a cold snort, and said with a scolding grin: "Stinky girls, Lao Tzu is tired all day long, and he has to serve you when he comes back, what kind of sin has Lao Tzu done!" ”

With that, he turned around and went into the kitchen to cook.

At this moment, the door of the courtyard was vigorously pushed open by someone, and there was a loud "bang", which startled the three people in the room, and then an old woman's voice sounded: "Son, why are you cooking again?" What's the use of you marrying a wife, you have to serve her every day. ”

Zheng Laoxiao's voice rang out: "Mother, don't say it, what's the use, what can you expect her to do?" ”

The old woman's voice immediately raised an octave: "What are you doing, we don't marry a bodhisattva and make offerings every day." ”

"Mother!" Zheng Laoxiao sighed heavily.

Suddenly, a person rushed into the house, looking sixty or seventy years old, with messy hair and dirty clothes on his body, and scolded Lan Xi when he came in: "You are a mourning star, you spent five yuan on our family in vain, and you married a paralyzed man who can't do anything, and you eat and drink for nothing all day long!" Tell me why you don't die? ”

Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is her crazy mother-in-law, if you want to say crazy, you can't say that she is completely crazy, but sometimes she is not mentally normal, and she comes back to find trouble with Lan Xi after being instigated by someone outside.

Lan Xi immediately wanted to scold the past, but she couldn't, because she didn't have the ability to protect herself now, and she couldn't just throw such a fire bomb talisman over, so let's endure it first.

But not replying doesn't mean that Lan Xi will give in, lower his head and say nothing, glaring at this crazy old woman with the corner of his eye.
