Qiao Yang nodded approvingly: "This bowl of rice is the best in the world, I have never eaten such fragrant rice and such delicious pork...... It's so fragrant, even more fragrant than yesterday's pigeon meat! ”

Qiao Cheng was so happy that he could eat pigeon meat yesterday and white rice and pork today, something he never dreamed of, and it came true all at once, thinking that all this was thanks to his grandmother.

Qiao Cheng thought of his grandmother's previous beating and scolding of his mother and aunt, and he couldn't help but worry.

He suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Qing: "Grandma, can you be as good to us every day as these two days in the future?" Don't beat my mother and aunt, don't scold us for being brutes, don't let my second uncle starve, and don't exchange a few of us for money? Will it all be as good to us as these two days in the future? ”

As soon as the words fell, all the voices in the courtyard stopped abruptly, and the frightened eyes of the three adults fell on Qiao Cheng at once.

Zhou hurriedly put down the chopsticks, snatched the chopsticks in Qiao Cheng's hand, and put a "bang" on the table.

"Xiaocheng, what are you talking about? Yes? How can you say such things to grandma? Zhou scolded Qiao Cheng anxiously, and apologized to Xiao Qing: "Mother, I don't know why Xiao Cheng suddenly said this, don't listen to him, if you want to beat and scold, just beat me and scold me, I didn't teach it well, mother......"

Qin also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Qing to admit his mistake.

"Mother, children are not sensible, if you say it, you must not go to your heart, you are good for us, we know it in our hearts, children don't understand, we understand, mother, you must not go to your heart!" Qin's kowtow to admit Qiao Cheng's mistake.

Qiao Erjing was calmer, and seeing that his mother didn't move, he persuaded: "Mother, Qiao Cheng is just a child......"

Several adults anxiously persuaded the children around the table to slowly put down their chopsticks and did not dare to eat again.

Xiao Qing smiled slowly under the watchful eyes of her family, she picked up the rice in the bowl, she didn't rush to speak, but she didn't get angry either, she finished the rice in the bowl, the two daughters-in-law were still kneeling, and none of the children dared to move the chopsticks.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, my mother didn't speak, no one dared to move, and even some wanted to escape, so I was afraid that my mother would change back again.

In the end, Xiao Qing chewed the food in his mouth, comfortably touched his fat belly, and finally was full, and then his eyes moved to Zhou and Qin: "You two get up!" This problem of kneeling at every turn must be changed! ”

The Zhou family and the Qin family were so frightened that they lowered their heads and trembled slightly, and their hands were nervously rubbed, worried that their mother would beat Qiao Cheng again.

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "In the future, no one in our family is allowed to kneel, not only does this man have gold under his knees, but this daughter also has jade on her legs!" It's all gold, and you are not allowed to kneel! ”

Zhou and Qin responded timidly and stood up.

Xiao Qing then set his eyes on Qiao Cheng, his eyes were full of distress and debt: "Don't be afraid of Xiaocheng, grandma listens to you, and will never beat your mother and your aunt in the future, and you will raise a few of you to be fat and strong, okay?" ”

Qiao Cheng felt Xiao Qing's sincerity, nodded heavily, and then stretched out his little finger and handed it to her: "Well, that grandma hooked me, and if you hooked, it was our death agreement." ”

Xiao Qing saw his wrinkled little hand stretched out, and smiled and hooked his fat little finger to Qiao Cheng's finger, and the two hooked, as if they had reached a major agreement.

After comforting Qiao Cheng, seeing that the other children were still a little afraid, Xiao Qing smiled and handed his finger to them: "Come, let's pull the hook with grandma...... Make a death pact? ”

With the encouragement of Qiao Cheng and Qiao Yang, several children hooked their fingers with Xiao Qing one by one, and under the witness of the three adults, this agreement seemed to have become a guarantee in their hearts, a guarantee that they would no longer live in fear.

But Qiao Erjing always felt that the mother had changed a person, not to be good to them, but like a different person, just a moment, when they were about to be suffocated by nervousness, the mother spoke slowly, this kind of deterrent, the mother would never do it before, but no matter what, the mother in front of her is very likable, they like it very much.

In the end, only the timid and simple Qiao Yu was left, seeing that everyone else was hooking up with her mother, she didn't dare to move, secretly looked at her mother, lowered her head, didn't laugh or make trouble, and when everyone started eating again, she ate together.

Xiao Qing put her little finger in front of Qiao Yu for a while, she didn't notice it, she kept her head down, she almost understood in her heart, this child was more afraid of her than anyone else.

The Fang family in the neighboring village is going to come to the door to make a marriage in the next two days, Qiao Yu's eight characters are already in the hands of others, and the matchmaker will discuss the matter of choosing a day when she comes again.

She is still so young, she wants to let her marry, as the stepmother of the initiator, how can she not be afraid of her, and now let her marry a fool, isn't this forcing her into the fire pit for life?

Xiao Qing was not in a hurry to ease the relationship between their mother and daughter, she withdrew her fingers, lowered her head and smiled, in the future, they are all honest children.

After lunch, the family was full of food and drink, and the family was busy again.

Xiao Qing called Qin and Zhou into the house, and pointed to a few pieces of cloth on the hay: "Mother knows that it is not bad for the two of you to make clothes, so I will hand over these pieces of cloth to the two of you, and this fine linen will make a few undergarments for the children, and make a few clothes for the adults." ”

In addition, he gave them the needle and thread he had picked up from Shopkeeper Li.

The two took the three pieces of cloth and walked out, as long as they listened to their mother, they would have food and clothing in the future.

There was no children's voice outside, Xiao Qing thought that they should be taken by Erjing to dig wild vegetables in the mountains and collect dry firewood.

Xiao Qing doesn't care about them, Erjing has been paying for this family, he bought those saws and files to make furniture, and there is too little bed in the house.

She walked back and forth between the house and the yard a few times, increasing the number of steps in the system, the more steps the better, and when she was tired, she lay down on the wicker chair, and who lay down and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I seemed to hear someone talking loudly outside, and Xiao Qing was woken up.

"Is Xiao Yuniang at home?" The voice was kind and lively.

But this sound, let Xiao Qing wake up completely, this is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Youlai in the same village Qi Dazhen, this Qi Dazhen is quite famous, but not a good name, just because she said that she doesn't care about human morality, as long as she gives her money, buy a pair of shoes, please eat fish, she will say kiss to others, as for whether it is suitable or not, it is all two families to take ideas, the most immoral thing, she once told a girl who died in the same village that her father and mother were relatives, so she became famous, in this nearly 100 miles of village, there is no one who does not know her name.

The original owner just knew that she didn't care about the people, and she didn't ask the length of the subject, whether it was suitable or not, whether there were rules, as long as she gave money and shoes, drank matchmaker wine, and ate a big fish, she did it, and the original owner found her and took the initiative to find this family business for Qiao Yu.

also promised her that after the matter was completed, she would go to the county town to buy her a pair of cloth shoes and buy a big fish to send.

This time, I must have come to choose a day for Qiao Yu.
