Chapter 5 The Strange Man
She and Cheng Huai's father also got married by seeing each other before, so this matter really shouldn't be too urgent.

"I don't think so." Cheng Huai said two words coldly, turned around and left.

Jiang Miao raised her eyes, looked at the man's tall and steady back, and felt relieved.

Yu Ying smiled, and patted her hand: "The injury is not healed yet, lie down and sleep."

"Thank you auntie."

Yu Ying helped her to lie down with a smile, and said to herself, "Mother, anyway, I will change my words in the future."

Jiang Miao froze for a moment, feeling her eyes swell instantly: "Mother." She has a mother now.

This mother's cry made Yu Ying's heart warm, "Hey, mother will scoop up a bowl of porridge for you, and you can eat before going to sleep."

Jiang Miao nodded, and couldn't help licking her lower lip. Her body was very hungry and suffered from long-term malnutrition. She would scold and beat her, causing her to be skinny now, with little flesh on her body.

Yu Ying went out to see Cheng Huai off, then went to get a bowl of porridge for Jiang Miao, and then took the restless big and small treasures to eat the porridge.

Jiang Miao was not bored watching them while drinking porridge.

The two guys were still young, but they ate very politely. They held a wooden spoon in their small hands and stuffed them into their mouths one bite at a time. Yu Ying would catch the rice cereal that leaked out with the spoon, and then feed it back into their mouths.

"Milk, it's delicious." Cheng Dabao looked satisfied.

"Eat!" Cheng Xiaobao nodded honestly, holding the bowl and licking the little rice paste left on the side.

Yu Ying looked funny and sad, and when they finished eating, Yu Ying took the bowl from Jiang Miao's hand and asked her to lie down and sleep.

Afterwards, they took Dabao and Xiaobao for a few laps in the yard outside the house, and when they came back, one or two walked crookedly, half-closed their eyes and hugged Yu Ying's thigh, unable to walk.

"Grandma, Dabao is sleepy, sleep."

"Xiaobao, sleep!" Cheng Xiaobao responded sleepily.

Not surprised by Yu Ying, she bent down and picked up one and put it on the bed, then picked up the other and put it beside her.

After finishing all this work, Yu Ying went to another room to check on Jiang Miao, and seeing that she was fast asleep, she locked the door with a lock and went to the river with a bucket of dirty clothes.

Jiang Miao was awakened by a burst of crying in a daze. She supported her head and sat up on the bed, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and turned to the opposite room.

On the bed, Cheng Dabao was pressing on Cheng Xiaobao, crying with his mouth wide open, and Cheng Xiaobao was also crying. I don't know if Cheng Dabao pressed him too hard, or he just cried along.

Jiang Miao raised her hand to rub her temples, and was about to step up to pat their buttocks when she heard movement in the main room.

With a glint in her eyes, she picked up the stick at the side and walked slowly to the door of the main room with small steps.

Someone is picking the lock!
"Who!" She shouted, and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see a strange man in black cloth and rough clothes.

Immediately, he swung his stick and hit the door panel. The loud noise alarmed the man outside, who quickly turned around and ran away.

The stick made his hands numb, and even his head was in throbbing pain.

Seeing the man running away in a hurry, Jiang Miao let go of the stick with his fingers and exhaled.

Her body was too weak, and she felt shaky when she exerted some strength.

He hurried back to the house and sat down on the bed. After a while, he tried to comfort the two babies who were still crying.

When Yu Ying came back from washing her clothes, she met Mrs. Li at the foot of the slope and said hello to her.

The neighbors in the collar, the Li family is the closest to theirs, and they can occasionally say a few words.

Holding the bowl in his hand, Mrs. Li saw her, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, sister of the Cheng family, you are back!"

Yu Ying was a little puzzled: "What's wrong, Sister Li?"

Mrs. Li hurriedly grabbed a bite to eat, stepped forward and reminded: "I just saw a strange man coming down the slope, is this a relative of your natal family?"

As soon as Yu Ying heard this, she immediately ran up the slope with the wooden basin holding the clothes.

Does she have any relatives from her natal family?
Since Cheng Huai's father went to Beijing to rush for the exam and there was no news, her natal family didn't even have any relatives who came to play Qiufeng.

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the door of the house, the big lock did have traces of being tampered with, but fortunately it was not pried open.

She quickly unlocked it, put down her clothes and ran in.

Inside the house, Jiang Miao patted Cheng Dabao's buttocks with his left hand and Cheng Xiaobao's buttocks with his right hand. The two cubs lay obediently on the bed, pouted their round buttocks, and twisted them from time to time.

Hearing another movement, Jiang Miao quickly grabbed the stick beside the bed, and turned her head vigilantly.

"Girl Miao, it's mother." Yu Ying shouted quickly, "Are you all alright?"

Seeing that it was Yu Ying, Jiang Miao put down the stick, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, "Mother, you are back."

Yu Ying hurriedly supported her, and said in a distressed tone: "Hey, it's okay, you're scared!"

With lingering fears in her heart, Jiang Miao hurriedly said, "Just now there was a man knocking on the door outside, mother, did you meet him when you came back?"

Yu Ying shook her head and frowned, "I didn't touch it. Sister Li told me when I was going uphill. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I ran back quickly."

I don't know which murderer dared to come to her house to break open the door.

Yu Ying rolled up her sleeves and helped her stand up, "Go and lie down in the room first, and leave the rest to mother."

"That person may come again, mother, be careful."

"Mother knows, thanks to you being at home today, otherwise Dabao and Xiaobao might have been taken away."

I'm afraid when I think about it, but fortunately, Dabao and Xiaobao are fine.

Seeing Jiang Miao lying down, Yu Ying's voice became gentle: "Sleep, mother will make medicine for you, don't worry about things outside."

Jiang Miao nodded her head obediently. She was nervous for a long time, but when she touched the pillow, she soon fell asleep again.

Yu Ying was about to go out to do errands, when she saw two little boys pawing at the door, tilting their heads and quietly looking at Jiang Miao on the bed, as if they wanted to go in but dared not.

Yu Ying walked to the door with a smile, bent down and led the two into the main room, stroking their heads: "Dabao and Xiaobao, go play somewhere else."

"Grandma, Dabao, be obedient!" Cheng Dabao clenched his fists and nodded obediently.

Cheng Xiaobao imitated the example, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and said in a small voice: "Naru, listen!"

Yu Ying was amused, went to the door and checked the latch again, and then blocked behind with a chair.

Dabao and Xiaobao followed, touching the door panel and then the chair.

Yu Ying knew that they would not be sleepy after waking up, so she took them to the backyard.

He scooped up half a bowl of rice porridge for each of them, and after watching them finish eating, he threw them into the shaded open space surrounded by chickens.

The chickens were gone a long time ago, and the enclosure was cleaned very clean, only some wooden toys Cheng Huai made for them.

A year ago, when Cheng Huai was carried back with injuries all over his body, Yu Ying stewed all the chicken at home to make up for him.

Later, the family didn't have much money, so they never raised chickens.
