The screeching of the rooster played the first piece of music in the morning. The sun rises slowly, bringing light to the people. The fog cleared away, and the beautiful scenery of the mountain village came into view.

The children ran out of their homes and walked around the village to play. In addition to the chirping of birds and the low cries of insects, the loudest sound in heaven and earth is the frolicking of children.

Meng Yuxuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, stretching her waist and yawning. She looked at the mountain village landscape in front of her, and just wanted to exclaim—it's good to be alive.

"Xi'er Niang, I'm going to the village chief's house now, do you want to go now or later?" Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law, Feng'er, said with a red face.

"Sister-in-law is so early." Meng Yuxuan chuckled: "I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while." Xi'er didn't get out of bed! The kid didn't sleep well last night, and I'm afraid he was tired from picking hawthorn with me during the day. ”

"That's fine. I'll go first. The village chief's sister-in-law Mo used to be neighbors with me when she was at her mother's house, so I had to help early. Feng'er said.

"Sister-in-law will go first, I will take care of Xi'er and come to help." Meng Yuxuan straightened the broken hair around her ears and smiled gently.

Feng'er looked at the woman in front of her who was like a lady in the picture, and a look of envy appeared in her eyes. She touched her face, looking inferior.

Meng Yuxuan didn't know what Feng'er was thinking. Feng'er, who said just now that she was going to the village chief's house earlier, stood still and didn't leave, as if she had something on her mind. She screamed a few times before Feng'er came back to her senses.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want?" Meng Yuxuan smiled.

"You're so good-looking." After Feng'er finished speaking, she ran away as if someone was chasing.

Meng Yuxuan blinked and touched her cheek.

This face is indeed getting more and more brilliant. When I delivered food to Shangguan Huan yesterday, the man who had always been calm and self-contained seemed to have lost his mind for a moment. It seems that this face is too ostentatious.

Should I put on an ugly makeup? I've only heard of making yourself more beautiful, and I've never heard of putting on an ugly makeup. She finally lived her life again, did she have to live like that? What woman in the world doesn't like beauty? Why did she have to wronged herself so much?

"Mother......" Shangguan Xi stood at the door of the bedroom, rubbed his eyes, and said with a dream.

"What's going on? The clothes were not properly dressed. The morning dew is heavy, and I am not afraid of catching the wind cold. Meng Yuxuan hurriedly walked towards Shangguan Creek.

Although he has only been his mother since yesterday, as if he is really his mother-in-law, listening to his voice is not repulsive at all, and even the more he listens, the more he listens, the more he sticks to it.

Meng Yuxuan sorted out the clothes for Shangguanxi. Shangguan Xi's whole body leaned on her arms. His hands were tightly wrapped around her neck, and his little face rubbed against her face, like a spoiled kitten.

Meng Yuxuan hugged the little Shangguan Xi and watched him fall asleep again, with a happy smile on her cute little face, she couldn't help laughing.

"Sleep! Bub. There is no sorrow in dreams, only happiness. When you wake up, you will find that everything in the dream is real. Meng Yuxuan said softly.

"What time is it? And let him sleep! Mothers have many defeated children. From the opposite room came Shangguan Huan's unhappy voice.

Meng Yuxuan rolled her eyes and grimaced in the direction of Shangguan Huan.

"What? Not convinced? "The man in the room was even angrier." If you really love him, sometimes you can't indulge him. Your connivance is simply harming him. ”

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Meng Yuxuan didn't want to argue with Shangguan Huan. The man was stubborn. No matter how much she said, he wouldn't listen.

"You're admitting your mistakes?" Shangguan Huan's voice came from behind Meng Yuxuan.

Meng Yuxuan turned around suspiciously, only to see Shangguan Huan's tall figure staying in front of her. She looked at him puzzled and said, "What's wrong?" Your injuries aren't healed yet! ”

"I just hurt my arm, but I didn't hurt my leg, so I couldn't lie down for that long." Shangguan Huan frowned.

"Oh." Meng Yuxuan glanced at his injured arm and said nothing more.

In the past few days, he has been boiling medicine with space water, and the effect of the medicine has been greatly improved. Yesterday, when he changed the dressing, he muttered, 'How did it get so good so fast?' that frightened her into a hurry to stop the space water.

Shangguan Huan stretched out his hand and hugged Shangguan Xi over.

Meng Yuxuan was worried about his injuries and kept staring at his momentum. However, there was no blood oozing from his wounds, so there must be no problem.

"Since you've gotten out of bed, do you want to go to the village chief's house later?" Meng Yuxuan followed Shangguan Huan into the room.

Shangguan Huan carried Shangguan Xi to the bed. Shangguan Xi opened his hazy eyes and raised a confused smile: "Dad, it's you!" has a father and a mother, Xi'er is so happy. ”

Shangguan Huan sighed lightly. He touched Shangguan Xi's little face, and the cold face of the tough guy rarely showed a sad look.

"Fool!" Shangguan Huan said.

"What's wrong with him?" Meng Yuxuan retorted.

"You will go to the village chief alone, Xi'er still has to write one hundred and fifty big characters today, and you can't go anywhere." Shangguan Huan looked back at her.

"There should be a lot of kids playing there today, can't you just make it easy for him?" Meng Yuxuan frowned and said helplessly: "Why are you so strict? He was still a child. At this age, when a child is carefree, will he be happy if you force him like this? Is your love just to make him sad and miserable? Don't want that kind of love. ”

"It's a matter between our father and son. Do your part. Shangguan Huan didn't want to say more, no matter how Meng Yuxuan glared at him, his expression was that indifferent.

"Humph! Cold-blooded guys. Meng Yuxuan didn't want to wake up Shangguanxi. What's more, she is an outsider, and she really has no position to discipline Shangguanxi. After all, it wasn't her child.

If it was her child, Shangguan Huan dared to treat him in such an educational way, even if she risked being kicked out by him, she would fight with reason.

Ay! is not a baby who comes out of his belly, after all, he has less confidence. All he had to do was say, 'You're not qualified to care,' and she was immediately speechless.

"I'm leaving." Out of sight, out of mind. Meng Yuxuan left the room.

When she walked to the door, she looked back at Shangguan Huan who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Shangguan Xi who was lying on the bed. She frowned and said to herself, "Are they really father and son?" ”

Sometimes she can't feel her father's love in Shangguan Huan's body. His strict teaching of Shangguanxi is more like a strict teacher to a loving disciple. There was love, expectation, and gloom in his eyes. Those cold eyes are sometimes melancholy, not as cold and unforgiving as they seem.

She picked him on and found that it was a paper tiger, so she was no longer afraid of him. As long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, the cold-faced man is actually very generous and won't bother with her.

Of course, his bottom line is Shangguan Xi.

As long as he doesn't hurt Shangguan Xi and treats Shangguan Xi well, he will accept that person. For example, some time ago, she obviously injured him seriously, and he had a hundred reasons to get rid of her. However, he found that Shangguan Xi liked the food she cooked, and Shangguan Xi became more and more dependent on her, so he did not say anything about driving her away. Even now she has accepted her existence from the heart. I also treat her as a member of this family.

Meng Yuxuan brought two catties of rice, a few cabbages pulled from the space, and then brought the hawthorn cake she made into the village chief's house.

Today, the village chief's house held a 100-day banquet, and almost the entire village was here. The women offered to help with the work, the men gathered together to drink tea and chat, and the whole courtyard was full of people.

Meng Yuxuan wore a light blue dress, combed a high bun, her complexion was fair and delicate, and her appearance was beautiful, especially conspicuous among a peasant woman. Everywhere she went, men admired and women were jealous.

Even though everyone's eyes were a little unkind, Meng Yuxuan did not flinch. She kept smiling and handed the gift to the village chief's wife, Chen.

"What's so embarrassing about that? I thought there was something going on at home, so I didn't bother. "Chen is a middle-aged woman, fat, and has a very kind smile.

This Chen, Meng Yuxuan heard a little when she was walking around the village. Don't look at her always smiling, she doesn't seem to have a temper, but she is a resolute character. She is cheerful, but she knows how to advance and retreat, and never offends others easily. The village chief can have today's prestige, and this sleek lady has contributed a lot.

"My aunt said this, she really killed me, a junior. It should be the younger generation who came to visit. I have lived here for so long, and I haven't come to visit my aunt yet, so I'm really a little ignorant. Meng Yuxuan held Chen's hand and said politely.

"Silly boy, I know that something has happened to your boss, and you have to take care of him, and it's normal that you don't have time to walk around. My aunt is not an unreasonable person, and it is not easy to know you. Chen pulled Meng Yuxuan into the inner room and said to the other village women inside, "Look who's coming?" Xi'er Niang is the first beauty in our village, you come and get rid of the fairy spirit. ”

The women who were busy with their work saw Meng Yuxuan, some snorted coldly, some were curious, some were jealous, and some were indifferent. Of course, there are also people who show goodwill.

Meng Yuxuan saw Yang, Aunt Lin and Feng'er in the crowd and smiled at them. Aunt Lin beckoned to her and said to Chen, "You have invited the right person." Xi'er Niang's craftsmanship is particularly good. The day before yesterday, my little grandson went to her house to play, ate her fried vegetables, and refused to eat the food I cooked when he came back. If she wasn't busy, I would have wanted to ask her how to cook! ”

"That's great. Xi'er Niang, I'm going to trouble you today. Chen said with a smile: "The people in our village are all well-known, and they really don't have particularly good cooking skills." Everyone is half a catty and eight taels, and it is okay to make it from home, but it is difficult to take it out. ”

"Auntie, I don't like to hear you say this. In terms of craftsmanship, my sister-in-law is not bad. Hui Er Niang stuffed it into her mouth while making steamed buns.

"Sister-in-law." Jasmine Chen frowned and said unhappily, "What's there to fight about?" ”

"Not really. Jasmine hasn't come out yet, so she doesn't need that kind of reputation. "Jasmine Chen's mother, Xiao Chen, looked at Meng Yuxuan meanly." Since there is a capable person here, let the capable person do it! I'm old, I can't keep up with young people, and now my back hurts, and I can't hold it anymore. ”

"Good sister, if you say something like this, you will see the outside. The steamed pork you make is the most fragrant in a radius of ten miles, who doesn't know your craftsmanship? Xi'er Niang is not an outsider, so she naturally knows your ability. "Chen and Xiao Chen were originally cousins. While she was talking to Xiao Chen, she took Meng Yuxuan's hand and squeezed her eyes at her, looking helpless.
