Chapter 11

The squealing of the rooster played the first tune of the morning.The sun rises slowly, bringing light to people.The mist gradually dissipated, and the beautiful scenery of the mountain village came into people's eyes.

The children ran out from their homes and played in the village in groups of three or five.In addition to the chirping of birds and the whispering of insects, the loudest thing in the world is the play of children.

Meng Yuxuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, stretching and yawning.Looking at the picture of the mountain village in front of her, she just wanted to exclaim—it's good to be alive.

"Xi'erniang, I'm going to the village chief's house now, are you going now or later?" Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law Feng'er said with a blushing face.

"It's so early, sister-in-law." Meng Yuxuan chuckled, "I'm afraid I have to wait a while. Xi'er didn't get up yet! That child didn't sleep well last night, and I'm afraid she was tired from picking hawthorns with me during the day."

"That's fine. I'll go there first. The village head's sister-in-law Mo was my neighbor when she was in my mother's house, so I have to go to help early." Feng'er said.

"Sister-in-law go first, I took care of Xi'er and came to help." Meng Yuxuan straightened the broken hair by her ear and smiled gently.

Feng'er looked at the picturesque lady in front of her, with a look of envy in her eyes.She touched her face with a look of inferiority.

Meng Yuxuan didn't know what Feng'er was thinking.Feng'er, who just said that she would go to the village chief's house earlier, stood still, as if she had something on her mind.She yelled a few times before Feng'er came back to her senses.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" Meng Yuxuan smiled.

"You look so good-looking." After Feng'er finished speaking, she ran away as if someone was chasing her.

Meng Yuxuan blinked and touched her cheek.

This face is indeed getting better and better.When delivering food to Shangguan Huan yesterday, the man who was always calm and reserved seemed to lose his mind for a moment.It seems that this face is too ostentatious.

Should I put on an ugly makeup for myself?I only heard that I should make myself more beautiful, but I never heard that I should make myself ugly.She managed to live her whole life again, does she have to live like that?Which woman in the world doesn't like beauty?Why did she wrong herself so much?
"Mother..." Shangguanxi stood at the door of the bedroom, rubbed his eyes, and said dreamily.

"Why did you come out? I didn't put on my clothes properly. The morning dew is heavy, so I'm not afraid of getting cold." Meng Yuxuan hurried towards Shangguanxi.

Although she only started to be his mother yesterday, she seemed to be his real mother, and she didn't reject his cry at all, and the more she listened, the more she cuddled with her.

Meng Yuxuan arranges clothes for Shangguanxi.Shangguan Xi leaned against her arms.Holding her neck tightly with both hands, his little face rubbed against her face like a coquettish kitten.

Meng Yuxuan hugged the little Shangguanxi, watching him fall asleep again, with a happy smile on his cute little face, she couldn't help laughing too.

"Sleep! Little guy. There is no sorrow in the dream, only happiness. When you wake up, you will find that everything in the dream is real." Meng Yuxuan said softly.

"What time is it? Let him sleep! A loving mother is a loser." Shangguan Huan's unhappy voice came from the opposite room.

Meng Yuxuan rolled her eyes and made a face in Shangguanhuan's direction.

"What? Not convinced?" The man in the room became even angrier. "If you really love him, sometimes you can't indulge him. Your indulgence is simply hurting him."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Meng Yuxuan didn't want to argue with Shangguanhuan.The man was very stubborn.No matter how much she said, he couldn't listen.

"Are you admitting your mistake?" Shangguan Huan's voice came from behind Meng Yuxuan.

Meng Yuxuan turned around suspiciously, only to see Shangguan Huan's tall figure standing in front of her.She looked at him puzzled and said, "Why did you come down? Your injury hasn't healed yet!"

"I only hurt my arm, but not my leg, so I can't lie down for that long." Shangguan Huan frowned.

"Oh." Meng Yuxuan glanced at his injured arm and said nothing more.

In the past few days, he has been using space water to boil medicine for him, and the efficacy of the medicine has been greatly improved.When he was changing the dressing yesterday, he muttered 'how did it get better so quickly', which made her stop the space water in a hurry.

Shangguan Huan stretched out his hand and hugged Shangguan Xi.

Meng Yuxuan was worried about his injury and kept staring at his strength.However, there was no bleeding from his wound, so there must be no problem.

"Since you are out of bed, do you want to visit the village chief's house later?" Meng Yuxuan followed Shangguan Huan into the room.

Shangguan Huan carried Shangguan Xi to the bed.Shangguanxi opened his hazy eyes and raised a confused smile: "Father, it's you! Having a father and a mother, Xi'er is so happy."

Shangguan Huan sighed lightly.He touched Shangguanxi's small face, the tough guy's cold face rarely showed sadness.

"Fool!" Shangguan Huan said.

"Where is he stupid?" Meng Yuxuan retorted.

"You are the only one to go to the village chief. Xi'er has to write 150 characters today, so she can't go anywhere." Shangguan Huan looked back at her.

"There should be a lot of children playing there today, can't you let him relax?" Meng Yuxuan frowned, and said helplessly: "Why is it so strict? He is still a child. Children at this age are carefree and carefree." When you are worried, will he be happy if you force him like this? Is your love just to make him sad? That kind of love doesn’t matter.”

"This is a matter between our father and son. As long as you do your part well." Shangguan Huan didn't want to say more, no matter how Meng Yuxuan stared at him, his expression was always indifferent.

"Hmph! Cold-blooded guy." Meng Yuxuan didn't want to wake up Shangguanxi.What's more, as an outsider, she really has no position to discipline Shangguanxi.After all, it wasn't her child.

If it was her child, Shangguan Huan dared to treat him with such an education method, even at the risk of being kicked out by him, she would fight hard.

Why!A baby that didn't come out of her own womb, after all, she lost her confidence.As long as he said 'you have no right to control', she immediately had nothing to say.

"I'm leaving." Out of sight, out of mind.Meng Yuxuan left that room.

When she reached the door, she looked back at Shangguan Huan who was sitting by the bed, and Shangguan Xi who was lying on the bed.She frowned and said to herself, "Are they really father and son?"

Sometimes she couldn't feel the father's love in Shangguan Huan.His strict teaching to Shangguanxi is more like a strict teacher to a loving disciple.There was kindness, expectation, and lingering gloom in his eyes.Those indifferent eyes are sometimes melancholy, not as cold and heartless as they appear on the surface.

She provoked him and found out that he was just a paper tiger, so she was no longer afraid of him.As long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, that cold-faced man is actually very magnanimous and won't care about her.

Of course, his bottom line is Shangguanxi.

As long as he doesn't hurt Shangguanxi and treats Shangguanxi well, he will accept that person.For example, some time ago, she clearly caused him to be seriously injured, and he had a hundred reasons to drive her away.However, he found that Shangguanxi liked her cooking, and Shangguanxi became more and more dependent on her, so he didn't say anything about driving her away.Even now accepting her existence from the heart.Treat her like a member of the family.

Meng Yuxuan brought two catties of rice, a few cabbage plucked from the space, and the hawthorn cake she made into the village chief's house.

Today, the village chief's house held a hundred-day banquet, and almost everyone in the village was here.The women offered to help with the work, the men gathered together to drink tea and chat, and the whole yard was full of people.

Meng Yuxuan was wearing a light blue dress with a high bun. Her complexion was fair and delicate, and her appearance was extremely beautiful. She was particularly conspicuous among the peasant women.Wherever she went, men admired her and women envied her.

Even though everyone looked a little unkindly, Meng Yuxuan did not back down.She kept smiling, and handed the gift in her hand to Mrs. Chen, the wife of the village chief.

"Why is this so embarrassing? I thought you had something to do at home, so I didn't bother you." Mrs. Chen is a middle-aged woman with a chubby face and a very kind smile.

Meng Yuxuan had heard about this Chen family when she was walking around the village.Don't look at her always smiling, she seems to have no temper, but she has a vigorous temperament.She is straightforward, but knows how to advance and retreat, and never offends others easily.The village head's prestige today is due to this smooth lady.

"Auntie said that, it really kills me as a junior. It should be the junior who came to visit. I have lived here for so long, and I haven't come to visit my aunt. I am really a little ignorant." Meng Yuxuan held Chen's hand and said politely Said.

"Silly boy, I know something happened to your head of the family. You have to take care of him. It's normal if you don't have time to move around. Auntie is not an unreasonable person. I know that it's not easy for you." Mrs. Chen pulled Meng Yuxuan into the inner room, He said to the other village women inside: "Look who is here? Xierniang is the most beautiful woman in our village, come and feel the fairy spirit."

When the busy women saw Meng Yuxuan, some snorted coldly, some were curious, some were jealous, and some ignored her.Of course, there were also good intentions.

Meng Yuxuan saw Yang Shi, Aunt Lin and Feng Er in the crowd, and smiled at them.Aunt Lin waved to her, and said to Mrs. Chen: "You have invited the right person. Xierniang's craftsmanship is very good. The day before yesterday, my grandson went to her house to play and ate her stir-fried vegetables. When he came back, he refused to eat my cooking. Food. If she is not busy, I would like to ask her cooking skills!"

"That's really great. Xi Erniang, I'm going to trouble you today." Chen said with a smile: "Everyone in our village knows the basics, and there is really no one who is particularly good at cooking. Everyone is half-baked , It’s okay to make it at home, but it’s difficult to take it out.”

"Auntie, I don't like to hear you say that. In terms of craftsmanship, my little sister is not bad." Hui Erniang stuffed it into her mouth while making the bun.

"Sister-in-law." Chen Moli frowned, and said displeasedly, "What's there to argue about?"

"That's not true. Jasmine hasn't left the cabinet yet, so she doesn't need that kind of reputation." Chen Moli's mother, Mrs. Chen, looked at Meng Yuxuan harshly. "Since there is a capable person here, let the capable person do it! I'm getting old, and I can't keep up with young people. Now my back hurts and I can't hold it anymore."

"My good sister, you will be out of touch if you say such a thing. The steamed meat you cook is the most delicious in a radius of ten miles. Who doesn't know your craftsmanship? Xi Erniang is not an outsider, so she naturally knows your skills." Chen and Xiao Chen Shi was originally a cousin.While talking to Mrs. Chen, she held Meng Yuxuan's hand and winked at her with a look of helplessness.
