Suddenly someone rushed towards her, Xia Baozhu subconsciously ducked to the side and dodged.

The other party missed it and was not embarrassed. Instead, he greeted the old man, "Old man, do you still remember me? I am her mother Xue!"

The woman looked to be about sixty years old, with a wrinkled face, but she kept calling herself "Mother Xue".

It made Xia Baozhu wonder if there was something wrong with her memory.

She really couldn't remember that she had such a "mother"!

"Her Aunt Xue?"

The old man stared at the wrinkled old lady in front of him, not daring to recognize her for a long time.

"Yes! It's me! It's me! Old man, are you still strong? This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Caiyun. Caiyun, come here quickly. I've seen your sister and grandpa!"

Old Mrs. Xue was an acquaintance, so she called the young daughter-in-law beside her over as she spoke.

"Hello sister, hello grandpa."

The little daughter-in-law was still a little nervous, with a bit of discomfort on her face, but in the end she still called someone under the watchful eyes of her mother-in-law.

"Aunt Xue, why are you here suddenly?"

He reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Facing the enthusiastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although the old man was not enthusiastic, he did not slap him directly in the face.

"Ahem, don't you miss our Baozhu girl? When she was a child, I pooped her until she was big. In the past few years, everyone was busy and had no time. No, the house has been a little empty recently, so I just Would you like to bring some of the kids at home over to have a look?"

After listening to the other party's familiar introduction, Xia Baozhu finally recognized the other party!

Isn't this the "good family" Wang Jinfeng found in the next village because he thought she was troublesome?

After her mother was beaten away by Xia Jianguo, the old man was sent to another brigade to undergo labor reform. Wang Jinfeng was pregnant with a child and took Xia Xiaoyun to live in their home. Naturally, she was a "slut". Not pleasing to the eye anywhere.

She kept saying that there were too many children in the house to raise, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of her, so she turned around and sent her to the Xue family in the next village for foster care.

This "Mother Xue" was chosen by Wang Jinfeng herself. You can imagine how kind she can be to you.

Out of three meals a day, it’s considered good if she can eat two!

Not only did he not have enough to eat, he also had to help the Xue family work together.

At that time, she was only seven or eight years old, but she had to go up the mountain to chop firewood carrying a basket that was bigger than her body!

When the old man found her, she was suffering from a high fever and started talking nonsense!

Naturally, the Xue family would not admit their harsh treatment of her, but instead expressed a lot of credit to the old man.

The old man looked at his dying granddaughter and was furious, but he couldn't deny that without the help of the Xue family to take care of her, his precious granddaughter might not be able to wait for the day he came back.

The old man was eager to save people and didn't bother to talk to the other party. He immediately threw down the 20 yuan and left with his granddaughter in his arms.

Probably the Xue family knew that they were shameless, and felt that there was nothing to be gained from the old man and Xia Baozhu, so they took the initiative to cut off contact.

Therefore, when they saw Mrs. Xue standing in front of her pretending to be affectionate, neither the grandfather nor the grandson really became enthusiastic.

"I've seen it now. It's getting dark. Auntie, please go back quickly. The road will be hard to walk in a while."

As soon as Xia Baozhu saw this person, he thought of those experiences in his childhood. Naturally, he didn't want to waste time arguing with him, so he immediately issued an eviction order.

The other party obviously didn't expect that Xia Baozhu, who looked so timid and delicate, would become so aggressive. She was stunned on the spot for a long time and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

However, her daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed. She reached out and gently tugged on the corner of her mother-in-law's clothes and whispered, "Mom, Sister Baozhu is right. Let's go back quickly. It will get darker soon and the road will be difficult to walk... …”

"Ah, what do you know? Your sister is joking with us! Besides, you have one in your belly and one in your hand. You are walking on a mountain road at night. Who is responsible if something happens to you? "

Just as he was talking, the baby in Liu Caiyun's arms suddenly started crying.

I don’t know if it was due to congenital malnutrition or hunger, but the cry was not loud at all, like a kitten, which made the old man feel a little unbearable.

"Forget it, it's really unsafe to take a child on a mountain road this late at night, so just stay at home for one night and leave tomorrow."

"Hey! I know you like children the most! When Baozhu was at our house, he also loved to cry... Old man, do we still have food at home? I can bear it after being hungry for a day, but this child can't bear it. Stay..."

As soon as Aunt Xue heard that she could stay, she beat the snake with the stick and even asked about dinner.

Xia Baozhu:......

If it weren't for the sake of the child, she would have invited the person out directly.

No matter how easy it is for her to walk at night, she can't afford such a "great god"!

"I still have some leftover steamed buns from the past few days at home. I'll make porridge and stir-fry some vegetables."

Before the old man could speak, Xia Baozhu bluntly gave up the other man's dream of "eating a big meal".

"Ah...there are only steamed buns and porridge...my wife is still pregnant with a child..."

Is this because the food is not good?

Xia Baozhu took a deep breath and tried her best to control her emotions. She turned around and looked at the old lady who was chattering behind her. "I'm sorry, that's all we have at home. If you don't like it, why don't you go to Wang Jinfeng's house to eat?" Order? They eat well."

"Ah...that's not what I meant..."

"Mom, I like to eat steamed buns and porridge. Please stop talking. Sister Baozhu, let me make it for you. I can do whatever you tell me."

Liu Caiyun was more discerning than her mother-in-law, and at least a little ashamed, so she took the initiative to help Xia Baozhu with her work.

"No, Sister Caiyun, please take care of the child first. I will serve the child some porridge and oil to drink later."

Xia Baozhu was not the kind of hard-hearted person. Not only did the other party have to take care of a baby less than ten months old, but she was also pregnant with one. How could she really let him do the work?

"Then...then let me help you wash the vegetables!"

Liu Caiyun tied the child with a cloth belt, carried it behind her back, and took the initiative to wash the vegetables. "The vegetables at your house are growing really well. It's already October. It's great to be able to eat such fresh vegetables."

"Well, it's probably because the weather has been nice recently."

Xia Baozhu nodded and had no intention of talking to the other party.

Although Liu Caiyun didn't look disgusted, she was Aunt Xue's daughter-in-law after all. She didn't say she disliked her, but she definitely couldn't say she liked her.

Liu Caiyun glanced at her timidly, but finally closed her mouth and stopped thinking about building a good relationship.

Xia Baozhu moved quickly, and before long, a basket of white flour steamed buns and rice porridge were served on the table, along with spinach picked and fried freshly from the field, and a small plate of pickles.
