Chapter 23: Hope II

In the following time, Feng Xi took Xia Xue to become familiar with the living environment here, how to use the stove and farm tools, how to clean up the room to cook and fetch water, and how to take care of the children.

At this moment, Xia Xue's all-round uncle is back, he can do everything, he can do everything, he knows everything, he knows everything!

Soon, Xia Xue learned to cook and stir-fry with such an earthen stove, but there were too few ingredients available for this 'home', only some simple dried vegetables.

I barely resisted the urge to go out to buy groceries, made a simple meal, and was about to come out of the pot when I saw a child standing at the door.

It was an eight- or nine-year-old boy with a small bundle of dry firewood on his back: "Who are you?" looked at Xia Xue, who was busy in the kitchen, and said with a surprised face.

Xia Xue was stunned, thinking that the uncle said that there were two children in this family. This should be the eldest grandson of the old man.

Thinking of this, Xia Xue smiled: "You are Xiaojun!" The two children in this family, the eldest is called Zhao Jun, and the younger is called Zhao Jie.

The boy nodded: "Who are you?" The tone was obviously more favorable than just now!

Xia Xue hesitated and smiled faintly: "Silly boy, I'm your mother! I'm back with your father!" They haven't seen their father and mother for almost two years, and they probably don't remember each other's appearance. Therefore, Xia Xue can be generously impersonated.

Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Xue seriously, and shook his head: "You are not my mother, my mother is not as good-looking as you!"

Xia Xue smiled, there was a little bitterness in her smile: "Hehe, my mother is dressed up!" said that, approached the boy, and touched his head dotingly.

The boy ducked, but then stood still and did not move.

When eating, Zhao Jun always peeked at Feng Xi and Xia Xue, looking puzzled. Why has my father become more handsome and taller, and my mother has become younger and more beautiful!

In fact, in Zhao Jun's heart, the appearance of his father and mother is indeed blurred, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't remember it at all. It's just that he is still too young and relatively simple, and he doesn't understand a lot of things, and he doesn't dare to ask.

After eating, Xia Xue took Xiaojun and Xiaojie to the town, bought them new clothes and shoes, and bought a lot of food. The two children were very happy, and they were happy to call their mothers, which made Xia Xue's mother's love overflow.

After taking a bath, changing clothes, and getting a haircut, the two children have become more energetic, except for a little darker skin and a thinner body, they are no different from ordinary children in other aspects, which is endearing.

The two little guys are also very well-behaved and obedient, and they are very sensible, which makes people feel distressed.

When Xia Xue came back with a big bag and a small bag, Feng Xi asked someone to help, and had simply cleaned up the broken house and tidied up their room by the way.

The old man kept smiling and watching, and from time to time he came up to say something, asking if he was thirsty and hungry?

In the evening, the family had a relatively large dinner. The two children fell asleep contentedly.

The old man took Xia Xue's hand and his face was full of kindness: "Child, thank you!"

Xia Xue smiled skillfully: "Mother, what do you say, I should thank you for letting you work hard to bring two children!" said softly, and also clenched the old man's dry hand.

The old man shook his head, with tears in his eyes: "My old lady is blind, but her heart is not blind! You are not my son and daughter-in-law at all! I already knew!"

My old lady is poor, and there is nothing worth worrying about! You are really good to us and good to our children! I know! My old lady will not live for a few days, and I don't know if I can come back! These two children will be entrusted to you!" As he spoke, tears welled up in the old man's eyes.
