The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 5
"Mother, you are so powerful, you drove away all the bad guys."

Seeing Zhou's mother and daughter stumbling out of the hut, Yun Xiaotong was so happy that she clapped her hands and cheered.

Those two bad guys bullied his mother every day, and he felt distressed when he saw it, and wanted to help, but he couldn't win. Today, my mother actually drove the bad guys away, so relieved.

"But...but what if the bad guys come again?" Just clapping his hands and being happy for a while, the little guy frowned again, looking at Yun Mo with a worried expression on his face.

Yunmo walked to the bed, took Yun Xiaotong into her arms, stroked his cheek with her right hand, and gently stroked the scratches on his face with her fingertips.

"Tongtong, with mother here, we are not afraid of bad people."

"Does your face still hurt?"

Thinking about it, I'm afraid I need to boil some hot water at night, so I can use a hot handkerchief to warm him up.

Yun Xiaotong shook his head, squinted his big dark eyes, and said sensiblely: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just being scratched."

"Mother, don't worry. I'm a man. I can bear this little pain. When I grow up, I can protect my mother."

With a sore nose, Yunmo rubbed his rough and yellow hair.

"Tongtong is still young, children should play happily, don't worry about protecting mother when they grow up."

What a wonderful childhood, she was reluctant to let Xiao Douding grow up quickly.

"Mother is not worried, but mother loves Tongtong, since Tongtong is no longer in pain, mother will cook dinner, okay?"

"En." Yun Xiaotong nodded heavily, "Then I'll help mother light the fire."

Yun Mo carried him off the bed, and the mother and son walked out of the hut hand in hand.

This thatched cottage was originally the firewood house of Yun Chunsheng's family. The main house was used to store firewood. There are two side sheds next to the main house. One is a donkey pen and the other is a pile of sundries. It is surrounded by a bamboo fence, surrounded by a wasteland with many white thatch and wild hibiscus. Five years ago, the predecessor was exiled to Yangque Village, and this thatched cottage was exchanged from the Zhou family with a jade hairpin.

The predecessor replaced this dilapidated thatched hut, and changed the main house where firewood was stored into a bedroom, and the shed where the sundries were stored was changed into a kitchen, and the donkey pen was used to store firewood and sundries.

Walking into the yard, Yun Xiaotong let go of Yunmo's hand, grinning, looking like a grown-up, and said: "Mother, you just woke up and you're not feeling well, I'll go get some firewood. " Without waiting for Yunmo to agree, Sa Yazi ran away.

Seeing him running away, Yun Mo curled her lips, her face overflowing with a strong look of maternal love.

The firewood was simply piled in the donkey shed, and it took a few steps to get there, so Yun Xiaotong was allowed to go.

Watching Yun Xiaotong fly into the donkey shed, Yun Mo rolled up her ragged sleeves and walked towards her earthen stove. She lifted off the gapped old wooden pot lid, and saw that the old iron pot was so dry that it was almost rusty, and there were a few spots on the sides of the pot. Oil stars do not stick.

This family is really poor. Yunmo calculated that it has been a month since the last cooking oil was used. My God, I only saw You Xingzi once a month. No wonder Tongtong became a small bean. Severely malnourished.

After scooping water into the pot and scrubbing the old iron pot carefully, Yunmo turned around to look for food that could be put into the pot, searched the cupboards and uncovered a few broken pottery pots, but found nothing, not even a mouse dropping. After looking around for a long time, I finally found a sweet potato as big as the mouth of a bowl in a dark urn.

Yun Mo followed the hair on her forehead, pinned it behind her ears, and reached out to take out the sweet potato. It was really not easy to find this sweet potato.

"Mother, is there enough firewood?"
