Thinking of this, Meng Yuxuan was annoyed and angry. She stared at her fiery eyes and said unhappily, "Will it tire you to say two more words?" ”

"You're stupid." Shangguan Huan raised his eyebrows, his indifferent eyes full of disdain. "It's so simple, even Xi'er understands it."

Meng Yuxuan looked at the small Shangguan River next to her. The latter nodded very facelessly, and his lovely eyes were full of sympathy.

"Scoundrel, even you bully me. Punish you for eating only meat tonight and not greens. Meng Yuxuan snorted arrogantly, her pretty little face covered with crimson.

Shangguan Huan watched the two figures, one big and one small, walking away, his eyes that had never been emotionless softened a little, and his stiff facial lines gradually relaxed.

If she can really regard Xi'er as a given, it is this arm that is abolished for her, it is worth it. For Xi'er, he can give everything. As long as he's alive.

However, how long can such peaceful days last? After all, one day, what should be faced still has to be faced.

In the courtyard, Meng Yuxuan carried the basket on her back and handed the basket that Aunt Lin brought over last time to Shangguan Xi to carry. In order to avoid getting tired on the way to Shangguan Creek, she deliberately packed a jar of space water to take away.

"Let's go." Meng Yuxuan walked in front, and Shangguan Xi followed behind.

Shangguan Xi rarely went out, and at this time, he followed Meng Yuxuan and looked around, his beautiful eyes full of curiosity. The children in the village were playing and frolicking, and when they passed by, Shangguanxi's eyes were filled with longing and fear. That's a yearning for peers. However, he was physically weak, overprotected by Shangguan Huan since he was a child, and he didn't dare to step out of that small circle.

"Do you want to play with them for a while?" Meng Yuxuan had been quietly paying attention to Shangguan Xi's emotional reaction, and did not miss the longing in his eyes.

"Isn't my mother going to pick hawthorn?" Shangguan Xi shook his head and said embarrassedly: "I want to help my mother do things." ”

"It's still early, so we don't have to rush it. I'm waiting for you here, you can play with them for a while. Meng Yuxuan smiled softly: "They are all good boys, you can try to be friends with them." ”

"Is that okay? Will they not like me? Shangguan Xi remembered the gossip he had heard. The little brother he met by accident last time didn't like him.

"Our creek is so cute, how can no one like it?" Meng Yuxuan said softly: "But if you want everyone to like you, then there is no way." There is no such person in this world that everyone loves. Some people are inherently wrong. Just like my mother, don't look at me and your Grandma Lin's family get along well, in fact, there are many people in the village who don't like me! ”

"My mother is so beautiful, her personality is so good, and she can fry such delicious dishes, why don't anyone like you? Xi'er likes her mother very much! Shangguan Xi comforted.

"That's why I said, no one can be loved by everyone. No matter how good you are, there will always be people who don't like you. You don't need to take that to heart when faced with such people. I can only say that you are not in the same way. If they don't follow the same path, why force them to go the same way? That's not good for everybody. Meng Yuxuan smiled softly.

"I already understand what my mother means. My dad always taught me big truths and made me understand how to behave. But I think it's easier for my mother to speak. In the future, my mother will teach me often, okay? Shangguan Xi paused after speaking, looked at the children who were having fun and said, "Xi'er wants to play with them." Not now, though. I'll go to them another day. Xi'er can always make friends. It's like being able to be friends with Grandma Lin. In such a large village, there are always like-minded people with Xi'er. ”

"Good. We are so cute, of course we will make friends who treat each other sincerely. Meng Yuxuan smiled softly.

"Hmm. That...... Let's go hawthorn picking! Xi'er has never picked hawthorn before, and I'm really looking forward to it. Shangguan Xi shook the basket in his hand, looking eager to try.

"Then, little hero of Xi'er, we compare who picks more, and who picks hawthorn is good and beautiful? Come on! Meng Yuxuan said, pulling Shangguan Xi and running to the hawthorn tree opposite.

Meng Yuxuan took Shangguanxi to pick wild hawthorns that no one wanted in the village. It didn't take long for her to carry a basket full of backs, and Shangguan Xi also carried a whole basket.

The mother and son talked and laughed on the way back. One looks like a fairy, the other looks like a fairy, this picture is particularly beautiful in the beautiful mountain village, and whoever looks at it feels excited. It's a pity that the famous flower has a master, and Shangguan Huan is not something that the men in the village dare to provoke. The men only dared to admire this delicate flower from afar, fantasizing about something in their hearts, but they did not dare to do anything.

"Yo yo yo, is this really going to stay as a stepmother?" Hui'er Niang came back from delivering food from the field with a basket hanging from her wrist. She stood in the way of the field they were going to pass, and her snarky eyes were full of sarcasm. "Xi'er Niang, you have to think clearly. Xi'er's father used to be able to hunt and feed you, but now that his right hand is useless, he will be a waste person in the future. Don't let him raise you, I'm afraid I want you to raise him! You look like fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid you can't stand this suffering! ”

Meng Yuxuan had already torn her face with Hui'er Niang last time, of course she wouldn't give her face. Besides, some people are born to scold. The more polite you are, the more she can't recognize her identity. In that case, why bother to have a good relationship with such a person? She was also not interested in getting along with a long-tongued woman who only knew how to meddle with other people's affairs all day long.

"I am really touched that Hui'er Niang cares so much about our family's affairs." Meng Yuxuan took Shangguan Xi's little hand, looked at him with a smile and said, "Xi'er, my mother said that the people in our village are very enthusiastic, and now I know that my mother didn't say anything wrong, right?" Later, when your father asks, you can tell him about these things. The doctor said that his injuries would heal soon. When his injuries are healed, we have to thank these villagers in the village who think about our family! ”

"Mother, I wrote it down." Shangguan Xi nodded seriously.

"Hui'er Niang, do you have any other teachings? It just so happened that Xi'er was here, and his father said that he never forgot to read books, and he never forgot to listen to others. If you have any explanation, you can finish it at once, and Xi'er will go back and talk to his father. In this way, when the child's father sees you in charge in the future, it is easy to talk about it. Meng Yuxuan smiled and looked at Hui'er Niang, who had an ugly face.

"You're ridiculous woman." Hui'er Niang gritted her teeth and said, "If women whisper something to each other, you have to say it to the men in the family." Do you think you're still a child? ”

"Why can't Hui'er Niang say something to her own man? We and I have nothing to say, and we have nothing to hide from each other. Whatever I hear outside, the master knows. That day, I heard my sister-in-law talking to Mrs. Wang about the fact that the mountains were so dangerous, and that our head of the family had to go with Hui'er's father, and the prey we got was only a few pheasants and a few hares, which was really a big loss. ”

"I listened and learned from our masters. He also said that he would talk to Hui'er's father after the injury was healed. We said that it is dangerous in the mountains, and it is better for Hui'er's father to stay at home to take care of his wife and children in the future. Anyway, it's just a few pheasants and a few hares, and it's only about one or two in silver, so it's really not worth his risk. The more ugly Hui'er Niang's face became, the sweeter Meng Yuxuan's smile became.

At this time, there were already villagers passing through this field, looking at the two people who were talking with inquiring eyes. Hui'er Niang's face was ugly, and Meng Yuxuan was smiling, which made everyone curious.

Hui'er Niang is a well-known shrench in the village, and no one has ever been able to bargain from her. But looking at this battle, she seems to be angry! It's a good show!

"Xi'er Niang, what are you doing with Xi'er picking so many hawthorns? It's not tasty. Yang, an old widow in the village, walked back with a bundle of firewood and said hello as she passed by Meng Yuxuan. Yang is about forty years old, and his son is studying in the town, and he is the only scholar in the village who is currently studying in the town.

Yang began to be a widow when he was young and raised his son alone. She has no skills, in addition to the crops in the field as the main source of income, she also goes to the city to collect some sewing and mending work to bring back to do. If someone wants to ask someone to do the laundry, she can do the laundry as well. In short, as long as there is work, she will do it, whether it is heavy or light, she will try to follow.

"My aunt doesn't know, I used to learn how to make hawthorn cake from the master's family, and I want to make some hawthorn cake to satisfy my cravings." Meng Yuxuan chuckled and said, "This bundle of firewood is very heavy!" I'll help my aunt carry it back! ”

Meng Yuxuan took the firewood from Yang's hand. Yang hurriedly refused: "No, no, this is very heavy." You haven't done such menial work, so you can't hurt yourself. ”

"Auntie doesn't know, when I first went to Li's house, I also started as a rough girl. It's nothing, and it doesn't tire me. Meng Yuxuan said.

Hui'er Niang had just received Meng Yuxuan's cynicism, and now she saw her being so attentive to the old widow Yang, her face became even more ugly. She sneered, "You guys are a good match. ”

A bitch, a widow, are all extremely unlucky people, aren't they compatible?

Meng Yuxuan deliberately pretended not to understand Hui'er Niang's implied ridicule, and responded: "My aunt has a future talent in her family!" It's an honor to be on a par with my aunt. Hui'er Niang praised me like this, I was really ashamed. ”

"......" Hui'er Niang was angry and hateful. She glared at Meng Yuxuan fiercely, and said secretly: One day, this foxy face will definitely be torn.

Hui'er Niang walked away quickly with the basket. When she passed by Meng Yuxuan's side, she deliberately pushed Meng Yuxuan with her big buttocks. Fortunately, next to it is the vegetable field of Aunt Lin's house, if it is a paddy field or something, I am afraid that it will have already fallen into a soup chicken.

Meng Yuxuan stared at Hui Erniang's back and frowned. Shangguan Xi next to her stared at her and said, "Mother, I don't like this aunt, she always bullies you." ”

"Don't worry so much about children." Meng Yuxuan reprimanded Shangguan Xi, turned back to the Yang family and said, "Let my aunt laugh." This kid just feels sorry for me, and doesn't mean anything else. ”
