After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 9 Picking
Thinking of this, Meng Yuxuan became angry from embarrassment.She stared at her fiery eyes, and said unhappily: "Will it tire you to say two more words?"

"You are too stupid." Shangguan Huan raised his eyebrows, his indifferent eyes were full of disdain. "Such a simple meaning, even Xi'er understands."

Meng Yuxuan looked at the small Shangguan Creek next to her.The latter nodded very shamelessly, his lovely eyes were full of sympathy.

"Bad guy, even you bullied me. I will punish you for eating meat and not vegetables tonight." Meng Yuxuan snorted proudly, her pretty face was blushing.

Shangguan Huan watched the two figures, one big and one small walk away, his usually emotionless eyes softened a little, and the stiff facial lines gradually relaxed.

If she could really see Xi'er as her own, even if this arm was abolished for her, it would be worth it.For Xi'er, he would give everything.As long as—he is alive.

However, how long can such peaceful days last?After all, one day, what should be faced still has to be faced.

In the yard, Meng Yuxuan carried the basket on her back, and handed the basket that Aunt Lin brought over to Shangguanxi to carry it.In order to avoid getting tired on the way to Shangguanxi, she specially packed a can of space water to take away.

"Let's go." Meng Yuxuan walked in front, and Shangguanxi followed behind.

Shangguanxi seldom went out, so she followed Meng Yuxuan and looked around, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.The children in the village were playing and frolicking. When they passed by, Shangguanxi had longing and fear in his eyes.That is the yearning for peers.However, his body is weak, and he was overprotected by Shangguan Huan since he was a child, and he dared not step out of that small circle.

"Do you want to play with them for a while?" Meng Yuxuan has been quietly paying attention to Shangguanxi's emotional reaction, not missing the longing in his eyes.

"Isn't mother going to pick hawthorns?" Shangguanxi shook his head and said shyly, "I want to help mother with something."

"It's still early, we don't need to be in a hurry. I'll wait for you here, you can play with them for a while." Meng Yuxuan smiled softly: "They are all good boys, you can try to be friends with them."

"Is it okay? Will they dislike me?" Shangguanxi remembered the gossip he had heard.The little brother he met by accident last time didn't like him.

"We Xiao Xi'er is so cute, how can no one like you?" Meng Yuxuan said softly: "But if you want everyone to like you, then there is no way. There is no such kind of cute person in this world. .Some people are born wrong. Just like my mother, don’t look at me getting along well with your grandma Lin’s family. In fact, there are many people in the village who don’t like me!”

"Mother is so beautiful, she has such a good personality, and she can cook such delicious dishes. How can there be people who don't like you? Xi'er likes mother very much!" Shangguanxi comforted.

"That's why I said, no one can be loved by everyone. No matter how good you are, there will always be people who don't like you. When facing such people, you don't need to take it to heart. It can only be said that you are not like-minded people. Since they have different paths, why force them to go the same way? That would be bad for everyone." Meng Yuxuan smiled softly.

"I already understand what my mother means. My father always taught me the principles and how to behave. But I think what my mother said is simpler and easier to understand. Will my mother teach me often in the future?" Shangguanxi said After a pause, he looked at the children who were having fun and said, "Xi'er wants to play with them. But not now. Xi'er will go to them again some other day. Xi'er can always make friends. Just like mother can play with them." Grandma Lin and the others are like friends. In such a big village, there are always like-minded people with Xi'er."

"Okay. We Xi'er are so cute, of course we will make friends who treat each other sincerely." Meng Yuxuan smiled softly.

"Well. Then... let's hurry up to pick hawthorns! Xi'er has never picked hawthorns before, so I'm really looking forward to it." Shangguan Xi shook the basket in his hand, looking eager to try.

"Then, Little Hero Xi'er, let's compare who picks the most, how about who picks the best and most beautiful hawthorns? Go!" Meng Yuxuan said, pulling Shangguanxi to run towards the hawthorn tree opposite.

Meng Yuxuan took Shangguanxi to pick wild hawthorns that no one wanted in the village.Not long after, she carried a full basket, and Shangguanxi also carried a whole basket.

The mother and son talked and laughed on the way back.One looks like a fairy, and the other looks like a fairy boy. This picture is particularly beautiful in the beautiful mountain village. No matter who looks at it, it feels heart-warming.It's a pity that the famous flower has a master, and Shangguan Huan is not something that men in the village dare to mess with.Men only dare to admire this delicate flower from a distance, fantasize about something in their hearts, but dare not do anything.

"Yo yo yo, are you really planning to stay and be a stepmother?" Hui Erniang came back from the field with a basket hanging on her wrist.She stood on the ridge of the field they were going to pass, her eyes were full of sarcasm. "Xi'erniang, you have to think clearly. Xi'er's father used to be able to hunt and feed you, but now that his right hand is crippled, he will be a useless person in the future. Don't let him support you, I'm afraid you will have to support him! You The appearance of thin skin and tender flesh, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear this suffering!"

Meng Yuxuan had already torn face with Hui Erniang last time, so of course she wouldn't give her face.Besides, some people are born to be scolded.The more polite you are, the more she can't recognize her identity with her teeth and claws.That being the case, why bother yourself to have a good relationship with such a person?She also has no interest in getting along with a gossip who only knows to meddle in other people's business all day long.

"I'm really moved by Huier's mother's concern about our family's affairs." Meng Yuxuan took Shangguanxi's little hand, looked at him with a smile and said: "Xi'er, mother said that the people in our village are very warm, now I know mother is not Is it wrong? When your father asks later, you can tell him these things. The doctor said that his injury will recover soon. When his injury recovers, we have to thank the village for their support. What about the folks in our family's sake!"

"Mother, I've made a note." Shangguan Xi nodded seriously.

"Miss Huier, do you have any other teachings? It happens that Xi'er is here. His father said that he never forgets when he reads a book, and he never forgets when he listens to others. If you have any explanation, just finish it at once, Xi'er." So go back and talk to his father, so that when the child’s father sees you as the head of the family, he can talk about it." Meng Yuxuan smiled and looked at Hui Erniang with an ugly face.

"You woman is really ridiculous." Hui Erniang said through gritted teeth: "Whispers are whispered between women, and you have to tell the men in the family. Do you think you are still a child?"

"Why can't Huier's mother say what she said to her own man? The head of the family and I have nothing to say, and we have nothing to hide from each other. What I heard outside, the head of the family knows. That day I heard my sister-in-law talking to Mrs. Wang about our head of the family. Some words, it is so dangerous in the mountains, we still have to go with Huier's father as the head of the family, and the prey we get is only a few small pheasants and a few hares, it is really a big loss."

"I heard it and learned from our master. He also said to talk to Hui'er's father after he recovered from his injury. Our master said that the mountains are dangerous, so it's better for Hui'er to stay at home to take care of his wife and children. Anyway, it's only a few days. A pheasant and a few hares are only about a tael of silver, so it’s really not worth his risk.” Hui Erniang’s face became uglier, and Meng Yuxuan’s smile became sweeter.

At this time, some folks have already passed the field, looking at the two people who were talking with inquiring eyes.Huierniang's face was ugly, and Meng Yuxuan's face was full of smiles, which made everyone curious.

Huierniang is a well-known shrew in the village, no one has ever been able to get cheap from her.But look at this battle, she seems to be angry!This is really a good show!
"Xi'er Niang, what are you doing with Xi'er to pick so many hawthorns? This food is not tasty." Yang, an old widow in the village, came back carrying a bundle of firewood, and greeted Meng Yuxuan when she passed by.Yang is about forty years old, and his son is studying in the town. He is currently the only scholar in the village who is studying in the town.

Yang has been a widow since she was young, and raised her son by herself.She doesn't have any skills, and besides the crops in the fields being the main source of income, she also goes to the city to collect some mending jobs and bring them back to do.If someone wants someone to do laundry, she can do it too.In short, as long as there is work to do, no matter it is heavy or light, she will try her best to continue.

"My aunt doesn't know something. I learned the recipe of making hawthorn cake from the master before, and I want to make some hawthorn cake to satisfy my craving." Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly and said, "This bundle of firewood is very heavy! Let me carry it back for my aunt!"

Meng Yuxuan took the firewood from Yang's hand.Yang quickly refused: "No, no, this is very heavy. You have never done such rough work, so you can't hurt yourself."

"Auntie doesn't know. When I first went to Li's house, I also started as a rough girl. This kind of work is nothing, and it won't tire me." Meng Yuxuan said.

Hui Erniang had just received Meng Yuxuan's sarcasm, and seeing her being so attentive to the old widow Yang Shi, her complexion became even uglier.She said with a sneer, "You are a perfect match."

A bitch and a widow are both extremely unlucky people, don't they match?
Meng Yuxuan deliberately pretended not to understand Hui Erniang's hidden sarcasm, and responded: "My aunt has a future scholar in my family! It is my honor to be compared with my aunt. Hui Erniang praised me like this, I really feel ashamed Dare to do it."

"..." Hui Erniang was angry and hated.She glared at Meng Yuxuan fiercely, and said secretly: One day, this foxy face will definitely be torn apart.

Hui Erniang left quickly with the basket in hand.When passing by Meng Yuxuan, he intentionally hit Meng Yuxuan with her big butt.Fortunately, it was next to Aunt Lin's vegetable field. If it was a paddy field or something, it would have been ruined long ago.

Meng Yuxuan stared at Hui Erniang's back and frowned.Shangguanxi next to her stared at her and said, "Mother, I don't like this aunt, she always bullies you."

"Kids don't care so much." Meng Yuxuan reprimanded Shangguanxi, then turned to Yang and said, "I made my aunt laugh. This kid just loves me and has no other meaning."
