The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

Xiaoman's intestines and stomach are still recovering from long-term consumption of bark, grass roots, and Guanyin soil. Shen Dongsu dare not let her eat anything except medicine and porridge.

It happened that the Shen family was building a house recently and there were many workers. Jiang and several village women cooked a big pot of rice together. Baskets of black flour buns and mud cakes were piled there.

Xiaoman was as quiet as a hidden person, always stealing food, but she wouldn't eat it, so she hid it in a bamboo basket.

After taking the steamed buns and cakes for the first time, she dragged the bamboo basket and hid in the woods. They hid until it got dark and Xiaohu screamed for his sister. Only then did everyone realize that she was missing.

Fortunately, the workers hadn't left yet. Father Shen asked everyone to search together. Finally, he found Xiaoman hiding behind the grass in the woods. She was holding the bamboo basket tightly, seemingly petrified.

Jia Shiba slipped her out of the bushes. Jiang was so angry that he wanted to scold her. Seeing that everyone was concerned about whether Xiaoman was injured? Did bad guys take her away? It’s not easy for Mr. Jiang to scold him anymore.

Xiaoman said nothing and hugged the bamboo basket tightly. After Jiang discovered the food inside, he scolded her as a thief for stealing food.

Shen's father told her not to scold the child like that. Which child had never taken food? She was just very hungry.

Shen Dongsu cooked soft egg pancakes for her and Xiaohu alone, and asked Granny Hu to buy goat milk and cook it for the two brothers and sisters.

As a result, a few days later, when it got dark, everyone discovered that Xiaoman was missing again. This time she didn't even bring her precious bamboo basket.

This time it was the little black dog who found her, hiding under the river embankment, huddled up with her knees in her arms.

When Jia Shiba slipped her out of the pile of rocks again, a bunch of black-faced steamed buns fell out of her arms, and her clothes were bulging with steamed buns.

This time Mrs. Jiang was very angry. She not only scolded Xiao Man for stealing steamed buns and not raising them properly, but also scolded Xiao Man for delaying his work because he was looking for her. She was mute and silent every day. She ate a lot and drank a lot, always thinking of running away...

When he brought her to Grandpa Shen, she remained silent. No matter what others said, she opened her black and white eyes and bit her lips, as if she didn't hear them.

Until Mr. Jiang scared her and said, "Next time you run away, I will kick you and your brother out! Then go on to compete with wild dogs for food!"

Xiaohu rushed over and hugged his sister, glaring at Jiang, before Xiaoman uttered a sentence on his brother's shoulder:

"Eat for mother."

Everyone was stunned, and Shen Dongsu hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "What are you talking about, Xiaoman? Where do you want to take the black buns?"

Xiaoman's tears fell like beads, and her clear voice said stubbornly: "Give it to mother! Mother is asleep, take it home, and eat it when mother wakes up."

Jiang snorted coldly and said: "Your mother has died a long time ago! This place is hundreds of miles away from your hometown, and you can't go back! Next time you dare to run around, I will break your legs!"

Xiaoman suddenly screamed: "Mom is not dead! Mom is asleep!"

Xiaohu hugged his sister tightly, bared his teeth, widened his eyes stubbornly, and stared at everyone with resentful eyes.

Shen Dongsu couldn't listen anymore, stood up suddenly and said to Jiang:

"You are too mean to a child who has no parents! What is the difference between you and Zhu and Wang Jinhua?"

Jiang put his hands on his waist and wanted to scold Shen Dongsu, but Shen's father stopped him. Even Zhongyang did not side with Jiang and stepped forward to hold Xiaohu's hand:

"Come on, let's go to my cabin."

Shen Dongsu picked up Xiaoman and carried her to the cabin like a weak kitten.

Mrs. Jiang used to be very gentle in front of Grandpa Shen and Father Shen, and would never be so mean. Why does she dare not take Grandpa Shen seriously now?

Because she felt that Grandpa Shen was getting old and sick, and the second son would no longer care about him, and would have to rely on her and Father Shen's appearance to survive in the future.

But Mr. Shen's leg was broken and was of no use. And she can make money from pear candy, and she is the head of the Shen family.

Don't let go of the grievances and sullen feelings you have accumulated in front of Mr. Zhu for many years now.

Her love for Shen Dongsu is extremely powerful. Shen Dongsu is useful and is my daughter. It’s useless, it’s just a broom star.

Now it seems that my love for Father Shen is about the same!

In the cabin, Xiaoman still stubbornly said to Xiaohu: "Mom is not dead! I want to go home!"

Xiaohu didn't know how to comfort his sister, so he just held her hand and said, "When we grow up, we will go home!"

Shen Dongsu brought hot water and helped Xiaoman wash his face. The moon was shining brightly outside the window. After washing, she carried Xiaoman to the window.

Pointing to a shining star, he said, "Your mother has become a star in the sky. She followed her from Macheng to Guangzhou and watched Xiaoman and Xiaohu at night.

Xiaoman, don't sneak home again. When you miss your mother, just talk quietly to the stars, and your mother can hear you. "

Xiaoman was not used to being intimate with people other than Xiaohu. She didn't even put her head in Shen Dongsu's arms, she just looked at the sky and cried for a long time.

After this incident, Xiaoman still didn't like to talk about letting go, but he didn't run away anymore.

He still hasn't given up the habit of hiding food secretly, burying food in bamboo baskets, haystacks, clothes, and even digging holes in the woods.

Every time, the little black dog digs it out and eats it together with the big white goose.

Jia Shiba and Zhong Yang slept back on the haystack in the kitchen because the other cabin was given over to Grandpa Shen and the two children.

It was originally intended for Mr. Jiang and Mr. Shen to live in, but Shen Dongsu didn't want to be neighbors with Ms. Jiang, and Grandpa Shen felt his daughter-in-law's displeasure and voluntarily moved out of the main house.

Father Shen repeatedly asked to stay. Grandpa Shen said that he wanted to live closer to Dong Su. Besides, he and his two children were in the main house, which would affect Jiang's work.

Father Shen had no choice but to agree. That night Shen Dongsu went to make Grandpa Shen's bed and changed it into a thick quilt.

Grandpa Shen sleeps on one end, and Xiaohu and Xiaoman sleep on the other end. Two large bamboo baskets were placed next to the bed.

After Grandpa Shen got up the next day, Shen Dongsu went to see the two children, only to find that they were sleeping in the bamboo basket again. Huddled inside, like two kittens.

Grandpa Shen sighed softly: "The two children were frightened all the way, and they didn't feel at ease when they arrived at our house. They are used to sleeping in bamboo baskets.

Just sleep like this! After you get used to living there and forget about the hardships in Macheng, you can sleep on the bed again. "

After Yu Dayu came over, he immediately cleared an open space next to the cabin and surrounded it with a bamboo fence. He and Father Shen would make waterwheels here every day.

Jia Shiba had nothing to do, so he came to help. Xiao Hu, Xiao Man, and Xiao Heigou just squatted aside and watched, and helped deliver wood or something from time to time.

Jiang's main house was quiet, but she felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt that the whole family was ignoring her.

Father Shen didn't care about talking about her for Shen Dongsu, but now he was talking about her for the sake of two children with a foreign surname. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

She also didn't take the initiative to talk to Shen Dongsu. It wasn't until Shen Dongsu taught Ayuan and Damai how to make sweet potato flour that she joined them to learn together.

When the first batch of sweet potato flour was made, A Yuan and Damai were extremely surprised. It was like watching a magic trick. They couldn't believe that ordinary sweet potatoes could become such an ingredient!

The translucent slender strips can be round or square, long or short, and can be stored for a long time after drying!

The reason why sweet potatoes are cheap is, firstly, because of their large quantity, and secondly, because they are not easy to transport. If not stored properly, they will smell like wine and develop black spots.

And this sweet potato flour is light and easy to store and transport. In the eyes of the two of them, it is even more magical than turning soybeans into tofu!

After eating a meal of sweet potato noodles, the two of them admired Shen Dongsu. They obviously have the same brains, but how come their cousin is so smart!
