Chapter 25: An Unexpected Guest
"Mother, there is a guest at home."
Guo Xiaoxiao was rubbing her temples that were a little painful, and suddenly heard the voice of a little girl outside the door.
Got a guest at home?
Hiding the thoughts in his heart, he got up and responded: "Come right away." ”
"Okay."
After tidying up her dress, Guo Xiaoxiao walked out of the house, and as soon as she walked under the eaves, she heard a familiar voice.
"Miss, why have you lost weight?" Saying that, he turned his head to look at the woman beside him, "Mother, look, I said that I came with me to take care of Miss, you don't let me, look at Miss's thinness..."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't open her mouth yet, and the woman over there also spoke up: "Miss, it's all our fault that makes you suffer." ”
Looking at the worry and self-blame in the eyes of the two, Guo Xiaoxiao looked down at herself, didn't notice how much she had lost weight, and walked in front of the two with a light smile, "Nurse, second sister-in-law, why are you here?" Sit in the fast house. ”
Not bad.
The person who came was Guo Xiaoxiao's mysterious nurse Chang's, and Chang's second daughter-in-law Cheng Yan.
The three of them sat down under the eaves, and Guo Xiaoxiao continued: "In the future, don't call Miss Miss, just call me smile." I've felt a lot more comfortable these days here, and I don't feel bitter at all. ”
Listening to Guo Xiaoxiao's words, and looking at the smile on her face that was more real than before, the woman sighed, "Miss, don't say that you are not bitter, we all know this." ”
"You live a hard life in the countryside, but we live in Qin County, this is not good. Miss, you should go to Qin County with us. ”
"Yes, Miss, let's go to Qin County."
Guo Xiaoxiao shook his head and said with a light smile: "No, I don't have to worry about you there." There are mountains and rivers here, and there are four sensible dolls to accompany you, which is very good. ”
"Nurse, second sister-in-law, Qin County will bother you. I didn't leave here because a Taoist priest once said that I would have an adventure when I was sixteen, and now I understand that my adventure is to come here. ”
Hearing this, Chang looked over in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Miss?" Could it be true that the Taoist was right? ”
Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao nodding, Chang thought about it seriously.
After a moment, he got up and looked at the courtyard.
After going around the front and back yards, he came over and said, "Miss, since you want to stay here, build a few more rooms in the courtyard, and the courtyard wall will be made higher." ”
"Okay, listen to the nurse, let's build a house."
"Done. I'll leave this matter to us, and Miss will just watch it at home. Second daughter-in-law, let's move things down first. ”
"Hey."
With that, the two immediately walked to the carriage in the courtyard and moved things out of the carriage.
Looking at the things on a table and a place, Guo Xiaoxiao joked to the two: "Nurse, you and your second sister-in-law have brought all the food and chewing in Qin County." ”
"Miss, that's just a lot. If I knew that you wouldn't go to Qinxian, I would have to prepare two carriages of things for you. No, I'll go to this town and have some for you. ”
"Second sister-in-law, don't. These things are enough for the five of us for a lot of days. If there is anything missing, I will buy it myself, so you can rest assured. ”
Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao say that he was going to buy it, Cheng Wanyan immediately said: "Miss, you can't go out alone, it's not peaceful outside." From Qin County to here, we met six or seven people along the way. ”
"It's common to grab things. For the sake of a bite to eat, there are not a few who are killed or maimed. ”
"yes. Miss, don't go out alone. Let's wait for the house to be built before leaving, and see what is missing these days, and prepare it together. ”
"Changshun doesn't know what to eat that wood, and I won't say anything about your situation when I come back..."
Listening to Chang Shi and Cheng Wanyan's words full of concern, Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that he was quite lucky to have crossed over here.
Knowing that they also had good intentions, he nodded and responded: "Cheng, then it will trouble the nurse and the second sister-in-law." ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, Miss. Miss, I'll move all this food to the stove room, and I'll pick it up later. ”
"Okay."
The four children have not said a word since their stepmother came out, and their faces were full of shock.
Is their stepmother really just a concubine?
Really not a concubine?
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, then picked up two boxes of pastries from the table and handed them to Xiao Ziyang, "Ziyang, these two boxes of pastries, one box you and your younger brothers and sisters share to eat, and the other box you help your stepmother send to your Aunt Wen." How? ”
"Okay." took the pastries, took out a box and handed it to his younger brother Ziqing, then took another box and walked out.
"Second brother, let's wait for the eldest brother to come back and eat together, let's help the stepmother do things first."
Xiao Xiaosi also nodded his little head in response: "Uh-huh." Help your mother do things. ”
Xiao Ziqing suppressed the curiosity in his heart and nodded: "Okay." ”
The three brothers and sisters walked to Guo Xiaoxiao's side, who was sorting out things, and said in unison: "Stepmother (mother), let's do it, you just rest on the side." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Ziqing with a straight face, and asked playfully: "Xiao Er, do you really want to help?" ”
Xiao Ziqing was busy with his hands, and a sentence came out of his mouth, which made Xiao Xiaosi eager to sew his mouth with a needle.
"Rest and don't trouble these things. Good fabric, you use it to exchange for chicken cubs, I don't believe that my father didn't give you money before leaving. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xiaosi immediately raised his little foot and stepped on his foot, and his hands crossed his waist angrily: "Second brother, where is the trouble for my mother?" ”
"You always fight against your mother day by day, and your mother doesn't beat you, do you think your mother has no temper? I tell you, if you want to do this again, I will sue the eldest brother and let the eldest brother beat you. ”
"If it weren't for my mother, you wouldn't know what you're like now..."
Watching Xiao Xiaosi talk non-stop, that angry appearance made Guo Xiaoxiao like it tightly.
Although this girl said that she was fifteen years old, but now with this four-year-old little body, staring at her second brother with a meaty face, and teaching him a serious lesson, she really has a sense of joy.
Even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were packing up the carriage on the side, stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Seeing the little girl's appearance, Cheng Wanyan turned her head to look at Guo Xiaoxiao, and saw that her face was full of smiles, so she crutches Chang with her hand, "Mother, Miss listen to it." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao's appearance, Chang Shi has already seen it, at this moment she is looking at the little girl, feeling that there is this girl, her young lady will not talk about chickens and dogs in the future, but it must be a lot of joy.
glanced at his daughter-in-law and said softly: "Only such days are lifelike." Let's quickly pick it up and go to the village. ”
"Yes. On such a day, the young lady may be much happier. ”
"Hmm."
Seeing the little girl chattering endlessly, both in and out of her words were the maintenance of Guo Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ziqing felt for a moment that the person in front of her was not his sister.
