Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5411 Aunt
The woodcutter was also a little surprised.

But he agreed with the woman's guess.

"It's just that you eat a lot during the day, so you can't eat much at night, right?"

……

"Ah."

The woman nodded.

She smiled and said, "I was wondering how could a person's appetite suddenly become so big?"

"That makes a lot more sense."

"I will make more food for my brother during the day."

"For dinner, prepare according to his previous appetite."

……

"Ah."

The woodcutter nodded.

"it is good."

"My wife is smart."

"It's up to you, my lady."

……

The woman smiled and hit the woodcutter's arm.

"What's so clever about that?"

……

"My wife is smart."

The woodcutter nodded.

"I'm the dumbest in my family."

The woodcutter is very self-aware.

Fortunately, he has strength.

You can go up the mountain to chop firewood for a living.

Occasionally, we can also hunt wild game.

Improve the meals at home.

Life is not rich.

But it can also fill your stomach.

When my brother becomes successful...

Their family will be able to make the leap to success.

When the time comes, he will definitely make a beautiful dress for his wife.

The same beautiful clothes as the ones worn by the wives of wealthy families he saw when he went into the city to deliver firewood.

……

After a brief surprise after noticing the difference in the amount of food he ate during the day and at night, the young scholar was very grateful to his sister-in-law for her keenness and thoughtfulness.

Now his problem was solved.

He doesn't have to worry about overeating at night.

He comes from a poor family.

Wasting food is something that people would never even think about.

But there is really no way to force it down if you can't eat it.

Of course, you can save the leftover food for the next day.

But he also didn't want his sister-in-law to work in vain.

……

The young scholar looked at Xiao Xiangrui who was eating quickly.

He has become accustomed to the appearance of Xiao Xiangrui.

The initial emotions of surprise, caution, taboo, doubt, etc. have changed to becoming accustomed to it.

He was used to the appearance of Xiao Xiangrui.

I am also used to ignoring some doubts.
How can ordinary people understand the existence of small auspicious signs?

So he doesn't need to understand.

Just accept it.

The young scholar will slowly tell Xiao Xiangrui some things.

Gradually from the knowledge points in the book...

He would also tell Xiao Xiangrui some of his own things.

Your own vision for the future.

Worry about exams.

For your own ideals.

……

The young scholar sometimes lowered his eyes and murmured.

Sometimes he talks a lot.

When he talked about exciting things, his cheeks flushed and his eyes sparkled.

……

All of this...

It was the first time for the scholar to confide in someone like this.

He is of a quiet nature.

Classmates are just classmates.

Most of his classmates looked down on him.

He despised his family because they were woodcutters.

The rest of his classmates had no ill will towards him, but they were unwilling to get too close to him.

He knows it all.

Others have no intention.

Naturally, he would not take the initiative to get close to others.

He swore silently in his heart...

In the future, he will surely make all those who look down on him look at him with new eyes.

……

His brother has done a lot for him.

He didn't want his brother to worry.

Besides, my brother doesn’t understand academic stuff.

My brother is also very busy.

To support the family.

……

He would definitely make sure that his brother's efforts in him would be rewarded double or even more.

……

My sister-in-law takes good care of him.

But sister-in-law is sister-in-law.

Naturally, he couldn't be too close to his sister-in-law.

It will cause gossip.

It will also cause my brother to misunderstand.

……

He has been studying and preparing for the exam alone.

Xiao Xiangrui is a very special existence.

It is a small auspicious sign.

It's not human.

Even my brother and sister-in-law didn't see it.

This made the young scholar, who was finally willing to admit it one day, feel that he was special. Maybe...

The little auspicious sign is truly one that belongs to you alone.

Maybe……

His years of hard work finally paid off.

With such expectation, he opened his heart to Xiao Xiangrui.

He told Xiao Xiangrui everything he knew.

……

After saying a lot of things that he could only keep in his heart, the young scholar felt that his body seemed to relax a little.

He can focus more on studying.

……

The young scholar became closer and closer to Xiao Xiangrui.

And I trust more and more.

……

"Pap~"

The sound of something falling to the ground made the young scholar look up suddenly.

……

In the yard outside the window, a plump aunt looked at him with horror.

There was a hint of paleness in his face, which was strange.

……

The young scholar frowned.

He recognized the woman.

He is a distant relative of the family.

He and his brother call each other aunt.

……

Why is she here?

The young scholar was a little confused.

Their home is in a remote location.

Both elders died.

No close relatives.

Some distant relatives have stopped communicating with me after the passing of my parents.

They understand each other's indifference.

Even if life was occasionally difficult, they never turned to those so-called distant relatives.

This is still...

This is the first time this aunt has come to visit since their parents left.

……

But why does she have this expression now?
The young scholar was puzzled.

But I intuitively didn't like the other person's expression.

like……

It was like he had done something incredible.

He obviously didn't do anything.

……

The woman appeared in the yard.

She spotted the unexpected visitor.

She knew this aunt.

She was married into the family before the woodcutter's mother died.

She had met the lady at the funeral.

The woodcutter's family is not very large.

No close relatives.

There are very few distant relatives.

So it’s not difficult to remember.

……

The girl walked towards the woman with a smile.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Auntie."

"How did you come?"

Then when she got closer, she noticed something unusual in the lady's expression, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Aunt…”

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why this expression?"

She turned her head.

Saw the young scholar in the window.

She couldn't help but cast a puzzled look.

……

The young scholar shook his head slightly.

He didn't know either.

……

The woman looked away in increasing confusion.

The woman's expression made her a little worried.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"Did something happen on the way here?"

The woman guessed.

"Did you come here alone?"

The woman turned her head and looked around.

No one else was seen.

In fact, she was somewhat dissatisfied with her lady for going into the inner room without permission.

She was cleaning up in the kitchen and didn't notice anyone entering the yard.

She was negligent.

The main reason is that they haven't had any guests visit their house for a long time.

She had forgotten that there were any guests coming.

……

But the owner didn't notice...

Guests are not allowed to move around freely.

What if this woman screamed?

She would definitely hear it.

If she hadn't happened to walk nearby and saw this woman...

Was the woman going to announce her arrival?
……

The woman turned her head.

Eyes twinkling.

It revealed a bit of panic and confusion.

“You, look!”

The woman stuttered.

He pointed towards the window.

ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
