Chapter 16.1
Han Cheng patted his son's head. "If you talk nonsense again, I'll put you down."
Fantuan felt aggrieved. Even when his mother was still alive, he despised this little aunt.
Back then, when his mother went to work, this little aunt would secretly eat their food at home, and she often stole his brother's malted milk.
When she was asked to buy vegetables in the market, this little aunt secretly bought meat and hid it away. Whenever their mother returned from her work, their little aunt would go home with the meat and food she had stolen. She has stolen almost everything in his house.
Fantuan tried to tell his mother, but this little aunt refused to admit her wrongdoings. She cried and called Fantuan a liar, saying he had wronged her.
Ever since Fantuan was a little kid, he has always been a smart boy, but no matter how clever he was, he was still a little kid who was quiet and soft-spoken. His mother believed the words of his bad aunt instead of his own, which made him angry!
He secretly went to ask for Xiao Yu's and other kids' help to play tricks on her.
Sometimes they tripped her up with a rope, and sometimes they threw dirty water on her.
Whenever they played tricks on this bad aunt, she would always complain to his mother, and his mother would spank him and call him a bad boy.
Later, when his mother passed away, the bad aunt wanted to be his stepmother and asked him to tell his father!
He doesn't want her! He hated her so much that he thought all his stepmothers were as bad as her!
His current stepmother is a little fairy, no matter who comes to the door, he will not replace his stepmother!
"Her name is Yangtao, the cousin of Fantuan's mother. She took care of Doubao for several months when he was still a baby." Han Cheng gave a brief introduction to Su Xiaoxiao.
Yangtao trotted over and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I heard from Zhao Xianfeng that you took Fantuan back. Do you want me to help you?"
Yangtao didn't even look at the woman next to Han Cheng or Fantuan, who was in Han Cheng's arms. She was only looking at Han Cheng the entire time.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly understood what was going on. She, too, was a female comrade who rushed to become Fantuan's stepmother. Unfortunately, the goddess dreamed, but the king has no intention of following through.
To be fair, this Yangtao is pretty good, but it's a bit dusty. If Han Cheng understands the customs and likes this style, women like Liu Shuixian are more charming than her.
Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao saw Han Cheng unconsciously step back, and Fantuan's cheek bulged into a small puffer. Afraid that his father would agree to this bad aunt's "help,", he said loudly before Han Cheng opened his mouth: "No, no! My brother and I don't want you to take care of us! I have a mother!"
"Mom? What mom?" Yangtao looked puzzled. When her head turned around, she pointed at Han Cheng like a ghost and said angrily, "Sister… Brother-in-law, you, you, you, you remarried?"
Han Cheng nodded and lifted his chin in the direction of Su Xiaoxiao, "My wife, Su Xiaoxiao."
Yangtao's pupils shook as she turned her eyes to the female comrade with braided hair, standing at the gate of the courtyard. "Who are you? Who is this child in your hand? Did you marry my brother-in-law and bring your child from another man? Why? Do you think you're deserving?"
Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know what to say to her. Although both of her cubs are thin, their facial features are still delicate after washing, so it's not that they can't be recognized after just a year has passed.
Su Xiaoxiao kissed Xiao Doubao in her arms and said regretfully, " Whether he deserves me or not, I wantonly married him. So what else can I do? This is my son, Xiao Doubao. Isn't he cute?"
Yangtao felt that something was stuck in her throat. How can this female comrade not speak human language?
What she meant by her words was that "she doesn't deserve to marry Han Cheng," and not "Han Cheng doesn't deserve her, so why did she marry him casually?"
What kind of misunderstanding is this? Has she ever read any books? Does she know how many unmarried female comrades in the art troupe are waiting to marry Han Cheng?
Even this child's name coincides with her nephew's name. Wait, Xiao Doubao?
When Yangtao looked at the child in Su Xiaoxiao's arms again, she felt a little familiar. Then she suddenly realized: "This, this is Doubao? Why is he skin and bones?"
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. "Elder sister, even if you can't recognize your nephew, let's not talk nonsense in front of the children. We're in a hurry to get food, so we won't walk you out; Please go by yourself. Han Cheng, let's go."
Han Cheng's delicate eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a smile. Zhao Xianfeng was right. His new family member is really powerful. Her words are soft and forgiving, but they can kill people. Ordinary people can't bully her.
"Let's go, Dad!" Fantuan twisted his body and wished he could go quickly.
Yangtao can't accept this fact, "No, no, brother-in-law, it wasn't long since my sister died, why did you remarry without saying a word? Do my aunt and my cousin know about this? Do they agree? Even if you want to remarry, you can't just find a rural girl who doesn't know a single character. I… There are many good female comrades in our art troupe…"
"Enough!" Han Cheng interrupted her: "I only need the consent of the organization to get married, not with other people. My wife is very good. I didn't choose her randomly. I choose her from thousands of choices."
After Han Cheng finished speaking to Yangtao, he raised his chin at Su Xiaoxiao in a soft tone: "Let's go." He ignored Yangtao and took Fantuan and strode forward.
Fantuan turned around and made a face at her: "Bleh Bleh…"
Su Xiaoxiao struggled to hold back her smile.
Okay, Comrade Han Cheng, didn't blush or change his expression when he lied. In truth, he only had two choices, her and Liu Shuixian. Where are those thousands of women?
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, grabbed Xiao Doubao's uninjured hands, and waved: "Xiao Doubao, say goodbye to your aunt, we are going to buy candies."
Yangtao was so angry that she stamped her feet when she saw them walking away.
Why did my brother-in-law didn't marry her? She's also a woman who has a formal job now. She is also the aunt of Fantuan and Doubao. She took care of them when she was young.
If he had married a beautiful female comrade in the art troupe, she would have nothing to say, but that girl is just a rural girl who knows nothing.
No, she has to tell her aunt and cousin.
Chapter 16.2
The market is not far from the military base. It takes only eight minutes to walk. Most of the residents of the town know each other, but Han Cheng seldom comes here. He is not familiar with them, and others thought Han Cheng was a bit too serious. In addition, his identity is there, so the people around him didn't dare laugh in front of him.
Without knowing Su Xiaoxiao's identity, no one dared to make jokes about Su Xiaoxiao.
In the morning, the meat factory was almost completely sold out. Now it is almost three o'clock in the afternoon. When Su Xiaoxiao and the others arrived, pig offal and a few big bones are the only remaining "meat" left in the meat factory. These things don't need meat tickets, but there are not many people buying them. Since they are closer to the water, there is much fish that can be bought, and since the price is the same, they prefer to buy fish instead of pig offal and big bones from meat.
Su Xiaoxiao was a heavy fan of fat intestines in her last life. It was delicious, no matter how she cooked it. She couldn't help drooling when she looked at it. The only problem was that it was very smelly when raw, and was difficult to clean.
"Han Cheng, shall we buy that? Can you wash it?" Su Xiaoxiao pointed to the pile of fat intestines.
"I haven't tried washing pig intestines. It tastes very bad. Why don't we buy a fish?" Han Cheng suggested.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "But I want to eat it. I can make it delicious, but I don't dare to wash it."
It's not that Su Xiaoxiao is squeamish. She had a helper in her last life. That aunt would help her prepare complicated preparatory work in advance. Su Xiaoxiao is good at cutting meat and carving flowers, but she can't kill chickens, fish, or pigs' stomachs and large intestines.
The staff of the meat factory said on his own initiative, "It's getting late, and I'm about to close the shop, If you want to buy this, I'll wash it for you. You can buy other things first and pick them up later."
Su Xiaoxiao bowed her head and thanked him. She pointed to the clean bones, and said, "I also want those bones. Please help me cut them down a little, and I will come back to get them together."
The employee said generously, "No problem. These bones have no meat. It only cost a little, just one yuan for all of it is enough."
Su Xiaoxiao thanked him again and gave the money to him.
She took some persimmons from the box on Han Cheng's back and handed them to him. "This persimmon is very sweet. Our children like it very much. Take some back and give them to your children."
Without waiting for the man to say no, Su Xiaoxiao has already left with the baby in her hands.
When they got far away, the man said to the person next to him, "This female comrade always has a smile on her face, is easy to get along with, and knows how to do business. Isn't she Director Han's newlywed wife?"
The aunt in charge of selling vegetables nearby said, "I didn't hear that Director Han was going to marry a wife. Could she be some kind of relative from their family?"
The man shook his head and said, "Whether it is true or not, she is much easier to get along with than the previous wife. By the way, the child that Head Han is holding just now, isn't he Fantuan? Why does he look younger than before? I remember him being five or six years old. Why does he look younger than Xiao Yu of Head Zhao's family?"
The aunt who was selling vegetables shook her head. "Who knows, it's not her children, so maybe she won't care for them much. For people without conscience, raising someone else's child is unreasonable. The baby has to be raised on his (HC) side so he can feel at ease."
The man said, " Who said she wasn't good? According to my observation, this female comrade is very good."
…
Fantuan has rarely had the opportunity to come to the market before, let alone Doubao. This is his first time coming here. Everything he sees is fresh, and his black and white eyes are rolling.
Su Xiaoxiao bought a lot of things, such as rice, flour, potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes, and other staple foods, as well as milk powder, malted milk, and other nutritional supplements for her cubs. In addition, she has prepared a lot of seasonings, such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, which are lacking in the kitchen.
The ingredients here are not as complete as those in the 21st century. Even citronella and rosemary can't be bought. But compared with Sujia Village, the materials here are very rich. Su Xiaoxiao is very satisfied to buy so many ingredients.
Han Cheng said he would do what he said, and let her decide everything at home. Except for suggesting that she shouldn't buy pig intestines, he never objected to anything she bought later.
Su Xiaoxiao brought some candy from Sujia Village, such as wedding candy and cake. She bought two kilos of white rabbit milk candy and gave a handful to Fantuan and Doubao.
Fantuan was stunned. He had never received so many candies, and he had never seen so many people who could buy things. He leaned over to Han Cheng and asked him in a low voice: "Dad, it costs ten yuan to buy so many things." Fantuan slapped himself two times. "Is it as much as ten yuan? Do you earn so much money? Can your salary support my mother and us?"
Fantuan doesn't know how much ten yuan is. Anyway, after comparing both palms, it should be this much.
Han Cheng was helpless: "Children don't need to care about this. We won't always have to buy so much. One purchase is enough for our family to eat for a long time."
In fact, Han Cheng also underestimated Su Xiaoxiao's purchasing power. He couldn't fit a large wicker basket on his back, you can only use a car to fit and bring everything home.
Fantuan bent his head and thought, this new mother, if she has good things, she will share them with the whole family, and she never ate them alone. As you can see, the white rabbit milk candy was especially given to him and his brother, and neither she nor his father ate it.
Su Xiaoxiao was confronted with a lot of things after buying them, "Comrade Han Cheng, let's ship them back in batches?"
The staff who just got some persimmons from Su Xiaoxiao heard what she said, so he immediately said, "Let's use our tricycle to transport them back, and you can just send them back to us."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Thank you so much."
The staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives waved their hands: "Serving the people is what I must do."
Han Cheng:"…"
Is this still a supply and marketing cooperative employee who usually has an eye as high as a mountain?
What magic does his family have? Why do people who are so picky and difficult to please always become nice in front of her?
Chapter 17
Not only can the tricycle of the supply and marketing cooperatives load all the things Su Xiaoxiao bought, but it can also drive them back together.
The generous and magnificent man stepped hard on the pedal in front of him. Su Xiaoxiao sat at the back with a cub in her arms, while the food they bought was beside her.
In this era where being able to eat and wear warmly is a luxury, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel like a winner in life.
It has not been a month since she traveled from the bustling first-tier metropolis of the 21st century to this era.
Su Xiaoxiao feels that she has gradually adapted to life here. Occasionally, she still misses the days of material abundance and convenience in her last life, but here, she has obtained a spiritual richness that she has never had before.
She likes the local customs, the feeling of returning to nature, the fresh air, and the food without pollution and additives…
The busy and simple day here made her feel very practical and hopeful, which was different from the emptiness she felt in her previous life.
Su Xiaoxiao likes living here, she likes herself now, and I like this era that is rich in everything.
When they got home, the husband and wife unloaded their things, and the storage room immediately became full.
Su Xiaoxiao felt happy when she saw it. She immediately understood why hamsters like to store things, and she couldn't be happier.
From picking up children to going on a journey to purchasing their needs, it was like war all the way. Su Xiaoxiao didn't have much of a chance to have a conversation with Han Cheng, so, now's the time to pay attention to her man. "Don't you feel hot, Comrade Han Cheng?"
The so-called autumn tiger… well, in the south, it's still very hot at noon. Han Cheng has shed a lot of sweat. The sweat dripped down his cheek to his neck, some disappeared in his collar, and some continued to flow down his Adam's apple to his collar's hook.
He looks so seductive, but Su Xiaoxiao felt hot for him, so she took out a clean handkerchief to wipe Han Cheng's sweat.
His wife is gentle and calm, like an orchid. Her sweet fragrance penetrated his system. Han Cheng's body instinctively stiffened, but he was reluctant to move. He nodded his head and said, "A little bit."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Then, are you still going to buckle up your clasp?"
With that, Su Xiaoxiao helped him unbuckle the clasp on his collar. When her finger accidentally touched his Adam's apple, Han Cheng shrank back involuntarily.
Han Cheng swallowed his saliva, and Adam's apple rolled up and down: "I'm used to it."
Su Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat off Han Cheng's neck again. She frowned and said, "You're soaked up in a sweat, you better change your clothes. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if you don't."
Han Cheng put his voice to the softest point: "I don't catch colds easily. I sweat a lot more during training."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Then you should go and bring the tricycle back to the market first. There is still a lot of work to do when you come back."
Su Xiaoxiao counted with her fingers. "There is not much firewood, so you have to chop firewood. The ground is full of weeds. I want to plant something, but I also have to get rid of the weed… No," Su Xiaoxiao patted her forehead. "We have to take advantage of the good weather; you have to wash the quilt. The quilt needs to be washed and dried so we can sleep comfortably. I saw that your quilt is dusty…"
Han Cheng couldn't help but hook his lower lip. "It's all a small job. I'll wash the quilt first, turn over the ground, and then chop firewood after I send the car back. It won't take a long time to do all of it."
Although these tasks were supposedly his wife's work here, Han Cheng promised Su Xiaoxiao's parents in Sujia Village that he would not let her do heavy work, and he will not break his promise.
He was reluctant to let such a delicate wife do heavy work.
Su Xiaoxiao bent her eyes and said, "I'll boil bone soup first, and we'll have sausage soup noodles in the evening. By the way, help me buy a new basin and bucket, and a new bar of soap. I'm used to using one set myself."
In rural areas, it is common for a family to share a bathtub and a piece of soap. Su Xiaoxiao's family was a little bit better, with one set for men and one set for women, but Su Xiaoxiao still can't accept it. When she first took a bath, she pestered her mother to buy a bucket and soap for her alone, and her mother nagged about it for a long time.
Han Cheng was not mistaken. His wife is more fastidious and cleaner than many girls in the city. This small requirement will naturally satisfy her.
Su Xiaoxiao began preparing bone soup and went in and out to get things after Han Cheng left. The two cubs followed her like little tails. Su Xiaoxiao almost hit them several times.
"Fantuan, go and fetch two small benches and sit at the door with your brother."
Fantuan found a bench for his brother to sit on. He sat on the bench in front of the stove and said, "Mom, do you need to light a fire?"
Su Xiaoxiao brought in half a bucket of water and looked at Fantuan in surprise: "You know how to light a fire?"
How can a five-year-old baby even light a fire? In Su Xiaoxiao's opinion, burning a fire is a technical job, and even she can't do it. Fortunately, the original owner knew how to do it, so she was able to inherit this "skill".
Fantuan nodded, "Yes, I used to help the old witch burn a fire every day."
Su Xiaoxiao: "…"
It's difficult for her to immediately settle accounts with the old hag, especially since she was arrested and imprisoned just a few days ago. How can she not be embarrassed for asking a 4-year-old child to do heavy work?
However, there is no sense of child labor in this era. There are many children in the family. Every member of the family has to help each other, being young was never an exemption. If no one helps the adults, they will be too busy. Alas, this is also one of the characteristics of this era. It is not bad to properly cultivate children's practical abilities when they are young. However, they must avoid doing heavy work.
"Thanks for Fantuan's help."
Fantuan blushed. He was a little embarrassed and didn't answer. He turned his head and stuffed dead branches and leaves into the kitchen stove.
Han Cheng washed the kitchen utensils and so on. Su Xiaoxiao doesn't need to wash anymore.
Su Xiaoxiao started to clean the bones and put them in the pot after she was done cleaning. She filled the pot halfway with water, added a few pieces of ginger, and covered it.
After a few hours, everyone could smell the fragrance of the creamy, pure bone soup.
Fantuan stood on the bench. He stood on tiptoe, frowned, and said, "Can you eat bones? There is no meat at all."
Su Xiaoxiao was worried that he would fall, so she picked him up and looked at him, saying, "Don't stand like this, it's easy to fall if you do this. Now it's just water and bones. You'll know how good it is when it's ready."
This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao carried Fantuan.
A five-year-old boy is only a little younger than Xiao Bao. She can even easily hold Xiao Doubao without exerting much effort, but Xiao Fantuan, who was already 5 years old, was also too light. Su Xiaoxiao scolded Zhou Cuihua secretly.
His mother is soft and fragrant. Fantuan likes her very much. He put his arm around Su Xiaoxiao's neck and snuggled up to his mother: "Mom, you are so kind."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his head: "Fantuan is also very good."
Zhou Cuihua squandered these two brothers. Doubao still had some sequelae. Except for Fantuan's strong repulsion towards her when they first met, Fantuan adjusted very well.
His skills in observation, expression, and empathy were very strong. Su Xiaoxiao thought that it would leave him with a heavy psychological trauma, and that it might take a long time for him to accept her, but the child's psychological quality was much better than she thought. He knows who is sincerely good to him and who is bad to him.
Buy the big cub and get one small cub for free. The big cub is handsome, and the small one is cute. God treats her kindly.
When Xiao Doubao saw Su Xiaoxiao carrying his brother, he walked over with his short legs.
"Er! Er!" Xiao Doubao made a sound to call his mother's attention and stretched his hands to show his meaning.
Su Xiaoxiao can't laugh or cry. Such a small milk doll knew how to fight for favor.
Su Xiaoxiao put down Fantuan and bent down to pick up Xiao Doubao.
…
Han Cheng came back quickly with a lot of things in his hands. In addition to what Su Xiaoxiao asked him to buy, he also bought new toothpaste, a toothbrush, a towel, and some vegetable seeds.
"Comrade Han Cheng is considerate. I didn't even think about what to plant in the vegetable field. Are there any tomato seeds? In fact, we can also plant melons." Tomatoes are sweet and sour, and they can be used for cooking or as fruit. After all, fruit is expensive, so Su Xiaoxiao would rather grow some fruit.
Han Cheng nodded: "All of them are here. The comrades from the supply and marketing cooperatives have distributed some seeds."
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Then let's discuss what to plant after dinner. I'll make the noodles first."
Work division and cooperation: Su Xiaoxiao is responsible for cooking in the kitchen, Fantuan is responsible for watching the fire, Xiao Doubao is responsible for watching his mother, and Han Cheng went to do his work.
The comrades in the meat factory washed the fat sausage very clean. Su Xiaoxiao only needs to wash it twice in water before cooking the fat fact, the stewed fat sausage is very simple. You just need to add the seasonings, such as pepper, anise, ginger slices, and green onions, and then add some soy sauce, rice wine, and white sugar. In short, some of the condiments in the home are put in and marinated on high heat for more than an hour before collecting the juice, it will be very fragrant.
It's a pity that children can't eat spicy food, otherwise, it will be more savory if you add a little dried chili.
By the way, you can also plant some chillies and make some oil spiced chillies. Children can't eat it, but adults can.
Han Cheng did his work as he said. He was very quick. When Su Xiaoxiao's fat intestine dish was had done all the work. He had washed the quilts, split the firewood, turned the field, taken a bath, changed his clothes, and washed all the clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the two lids. The bone soup was as white as milk, the fat sausage was thick with oil and red sauce, and the two cauldrons were boiling. They were vibrant and fragrant, and it was enough to make the kids next door cry.
Fantuan kept swallowing: "Dad, Mom is so good at cooking!"
Even Han Cheng, who was not very hungry, was attracted by Su Xiaoxiao's cooking skill. "It's very fragrant," he said as he swallowed saliva.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask Han Cheng to take the fat sausage out of the pot, when a strange voice came from the door: "What is this smell? What is so fragrant?"
dered these two brothers. Doubao still had some sequelae. Except for Fantuan's strong repulsion towards her when they first met, Fantuan adjusted very well.
His skills in observation, expression, and empathy were very strong. Su Xiaoxiao thought that it would leave him with heavy psychological trauma and that it might take a long time for him to accept her, but the child's psychological quality was much better than she thought.

When Xiao Doubao saw Su Xiaoxiao carrying his brother, he walked over with his short legs.
"Er! Er!" Xiao Doubao made a sound to call his mother's attention and stretched his hands to show his meaning.
Su Xiaoxiao can't laugh or cry. Such a small milk doll knew how to fight for favor.
Su Xiaoxiao put down Fantuan and bent down to pick up Xiao Doubao.
…
Han Cheng came back quickly with a lot of things in his hands. In addition to what Su Xiaoxiao asked him to buy, he also bought new toothpaste, a toothbrush, a towel, and some vegetable seeds.
"Comrade Han Cheng is considerate. I didn't even think about what to plant in the vegetable field. Are there any tomato seeds? We can also plant melons."

By the way, you can also plant some chilies and make some oil-spiced chilies. Children can't eat it, but adults can.
Han Cheng did his work as he said. He was very quick. When Su Xiaoxiao's fat intestine dish was ready. He had done all the work. He had washed the quilts, split the firewood, turned the field, taken a bath, changed his clothes, and washed all the clothes.

Even Han Cheng, who was not very hungry, was attracted by Su Xiaoxiao's cooking skills. "It's very fragrant," he said as he swallowed saliva.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask Han Cheng to take the fat sausage out of the pot when a strange voice came from the door: "What is this smell? What is so fragrant?"
Chapter 18
The minute Han Cheng heard the voice, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "It's Zhou Yuhua, she's Zhao Xianfeng's wife and Xiao Yu's mother. She has a bold and strong temperament, but she's not a bad person."
Han Cheng didn't say the latter sentence, which was: Perhaps due to the similar personalities of Zhou Yuhuan and Fantuan's mother, they have a very good relationship with each other.
Fantuan struggled to get down. "Are Aunt Zhou and Xiao Yu'er here?"
Han Cheng held the little guy and went to the door. "I'll carry you. Your leg is not fully healed."
Su Xiaoxiao tidied up her clothes a little, picked up Xiao Doubao, who sat obediently on the stool, and followed Han Cheng out.
Probably because lesbians with the character "Hua" in their names are more open-minded. Zhou Yuhua looks like a very sharp northern girl with a heroic appearance. She is half a head taller than Su Xiaoxiao, who is about 1.6 meters tall. She looks very heroic in her military uniform.
It's just that, her valiant and formidable appearance was toned down because of the bamboo basket for washing rice in one hand and Xiao Yue in her other hand.
"Director Han, we heard from Zhao Xianfeng that you brought a mother back to Fantuan?"
When Zhou Yuhua saw the cub in Han Cheng's arms, she was stunned for a moment and began to scold him. "When I asked you to let me take care of Fantuan and Doubao, you didn't listen to me! Now, look at what they've become. They are far too small for Xiao Yu! I can't help but feel distressed when I look at them. Fantuan, come here, let Auntie hug you."
Zhou Yuhua put the bamboo basket on the top of the wall, released Xiao Yu's hand, and reached out to embrace Fantuan.
Coincidentally, Han Cheng and Zhao Xianfeng were classmates in the military school, and Zhou Yuhua and Fantuan's mother, Yangmei, were also classmates in college, so the two families have a very good relationship.
When Yang Mei passed away, Zhou Yuhua said that she wanted to take the two children and raise them first, and then she would give them back to Han Cheng when Han Cheng found a suitable partner.
Han Cheng disagreed. The old man in Zhao Xianfeng's family is not in good health. They are already busy at work. Whenever the old man's health became too poor, they would bring him to the hospital. And every time that happens, Zhou Yuhua has to take her children with her when she goes to work. How could he bother them?
However, Han Cheng also regretted it. He had to go to his mission in a hurry and wasn't able to think about the matter carefully.
Zhou Cuihua came to his house with a kind face. She said that she would take care of the children for him, and he believed her lies, which was a huge mistake.
No wonder Zhou Yuhua was so angry. Thinking back now, he should have put the child in Zhou Yuhua's home and immediately found a nanny to help Zhou Yuhua take care of his two sons.
Han Cheng didn't expect that he would be injured so badly. If he hadn't taken a few months' rests, he would have found out that Zhou Cuihua was not good for the children.
But in this way, he could not meet Su Xiaoxiao, and probably would accept the organization's arrangement, either to find someone in the art troupe or Zhou Yuhua's hospital.
Han Cheng thought that no matter how hard he searched, no one could be more suitable than Su Xiaoxiao, so it was balanced.
Fantuan was clever and had a good memory. He naturally recognized Zhou Yuhua and automatically and consciously extended his hand to her.
As soon as the baby arrived, Zhou Yuhua began to scold him again: "This body is just skin and bones, and I'm afraid when you hold his hands tightly, it will hurt him. He will be sent to our hospital tomorrow. I will find a pediatrician to check him carefully. This malnutrition will affect his brain development, and he may not be able to keep up with the kids when he goes to school."
Han Cheng: "He has been examined at the provincial hospital, and they said he's fine. He just needs to recuperate slowly."
Zhou Cuihua can be regarded as Zhou Yuhua's distant relative who was out of five clothes. For the sake of Political Commissar Tan, she reluctantly called her aunt. To be honest, she didn't have any affection for or interaction with her. "That distant aunt of mine is just… How can she abuse a small child like this? Is she not afraid of retribution? "
Zhou Yuhua's mouth was really powerful. When she entered the room, she kept talking nonstop. Han Cheng was wrong and could only listen.
Xiao Yu pulled Zhou Yuhua's clothes, raised his head, and said, "Mom, you talk a lot. Put down Fantuan quickly. I want to play with him."
Zhou Yuhua put down Fantuan, looked at his son, who was half a head taller than Fantuan and looked at the thin Fantuan. She became even more distressed. "Be careful. Give Fantuan some of your milk candy."
Xiao Yu: "Mom, you are so wordy!" Then he took his good brother to the corner to play.
Su Xiaoxiao thought, Zhao Xianfeng, who had such a powerful wife, praised her for being powerful—isn't that ironic?
Zhou Yuhua naturally noticed Su Xiaoxiao and remembered that her man had praised her all the time. He said that she was a female tiger and that other people's wives were gentle and modest. Just remembering it, made Zhou Yuhua angry. She originally wanted to give Su Xiaoxiao a hard time, but when she saw the delicate female comrade, looking at her with a smile, Zhou Yuhua couldn't help but lower her eyebrows and subconsciously tone down her voice, afraid that she might scare her for talking loudly.
Zhou Yuhua asked Han Cheng, "Is this your newly married wife?"
Han Cheng nodded and said, "My wife, Su Xiaoxiao."
Su Xiaoxiao took two steps forward and said, "Hello, Sister Zhou, I'm Su Xiaoxiao. No wonder Zhao Xianfeng always looked proud when I mentioned you. You are indeed heroic."
Han Cheng: "…" Can the words "female tiger" still be explained like this?
Every time Zhao Xianfeng mentioned Zhou Yuhua, she would call her a female tiger.
Zhou Yuhua said angrily, "He called me a female tiger, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook Xiao Doubao's little hand and said, "How can there be such a beautiful tiger? Right, Xiao Doubao, come and call Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhou."
Su Xiaoxiao unconsciously taught Xiao Doubao to talk. The one-and-a-half-year-old child can't say anything except "Uh-Uh", which is quite worrying.
Zhou Yuhua frowned. "Is this Xiao Doubao? I want to scold that woman with the surname Zhou again. Come on, Doubao, hug Auntie."
Xiao Doubao naturally did not recognize Zhou Yuhua. He shook his head vigorously and wrapped his arms around Su Xiaoxiao's neck.
Su Xiaoxiao was afraid he might hurt her feelings and said. "He's still shy with strangers. It will be fine in two days."
Zhou Yuhua doesn't know what to say. Su Xiaoxiao hasn't known Xiao Doubao for a few days, has she? Who is a stranger?
"It turns out, he likes to stick with you."
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the little guy's cheek and put him down. "Our little man is not clingy. Go and play with our brothers. Fantuan, you and Doubao have eaten too much milk candy today, so you can't eat any more than that."
Fantuan, who had just pushed a piece of toffee into his mouth, came to pick up his younger brother with puffy cheeks and said, "Mom, I promise this is the last one."
Xiao Doubao looked at his mother, then at his brother. In the end, he still followed his brother with a flat mouth.
Zhou Yuhua's eyes were wide open "In the past, Fantuan was not so obedient, even when Yang Mei was still here. He was a little naughty like our family's Xiao Yu."
Han Cheng didn't want to join their conversation, so he took the initiative to enter the kitchen.
Su Xiaoxiao changed the topic and said, "Today, I have marinated some pig intestines and bone soup. Later, you and Xiao Yu will stay here to taste my skills."
Zhou Yuhua then remembered the fragrance of the food that made her greedy. "It's a pig's large intestine? It doesn't smell like it. I thought it was something good. Pig's large intestine is stinky. People here don't like it. How can you make it so delicious?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "It's very simple. When marinating, you can add some seasonings like pepper and anise. You can taste them."
These days, people don't even want to add two drops of oil to what they are cooking. Su Xiaoxiao was also extravagant enough to give up these things.
Zhou Yuhua glanced at her. " You do know how to eat…"
Su Xiaoxiao said half-jokingly, " Before I married Han Cheng, I asked him if he would take care of the food and if I could eat meat. I told him I wouldn't marry him if I missed a meal."
Han Cheng, who was moving the pig's intestines, paused. My wife is a little careless. How can she tell outsiders about this? What would the outsiders think of her?
Zhou Yuhua said something but didn't know what to say. At last, she just said, "You are honest."
Su Xiaoxiao: "It's normal. When marrying a man, you must dress warmly and eat well. " [1]
Zhou Yuhua became speechless.
When it was time for dinner, Zhou Yuhua really didn't know what to say anymore!
"Han Cheng, you are married to the chef of a state-owned restaurant, right? This is superb craftsmanship. Your wife is worth marrying!" Zhou Yuhua gives Su Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
The color of the fat sausage is attractive, and the sauce is soft and glutinous. After eating a mouthful of meat, you can't help swallowing it with your tongue. The key is that even children can easily bite it off. Handmade noodles are paired with milk-like bone soup, and you can taste a few drops of oil she put on it and a spoonful of brine on it. It has all the color, flavor, and taste.
Not to mention, even chefs in state-owned restaurants do not necessarily have this skill.
A bowl of fat sausage noodles completely conquered Zhou Yuhua. She was already very fond of Su Xiaoxiao after some contact, which directly promoted their relationship to the rank of girlfriends.
Zhou Yuhua has completely forgotten that she came to give Su Xiaoxiao a hard time.
Han Cheng tasted Su Xiaoxiao's braised pork once in Sujia Village. He knows that her craft is good. This time, the pig's large intestine dish she made is also amazing. In this era when eating clear water noodles is a luxury, it is impossible to describe the soup made from bones that could match the noodles with braised pork sausage.
The ingredients this time are really good. Although there are not as many seasonings as in her previous life, the quality of ingredients this time is different. Su Xiaoxiao herself thinks it is very delicious.
The children couldn't stop eating.
Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao asked Zhou Yuhua to take a bowl to bring back to Zhao Xianfeng.
Su Xiaoxiao cooked a lot, and Zhou Yuhua didn't act pretentious with her, and directly brought a lot of things with her. She also told Su Xiaoxiao, she can pick vegetables in her yard at any time.
Zhou Yuhua's son, Xiao Yu, was also completely conquered by Su Xiaoxiao's cooking. He refused to go home, clamoring to stay with his Uncle Han, to be brothers with Fantuan, to recognize Su Xiaoxiao as his godmother, and to continue to eat here tomorrow.
In the end, he was dragged away by Zhou Yuhua.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Yuhua is Su Xiaoxiao's first friend in this era. It's always good, to be honest with others. Su Xiaoxiao believes that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.
It was also time to clean up again.
It was more than nine o'clock in the evening after four people in the family had boiled water and washed.
It was almost time for the children to go to bed.
There are four rooms in the family, including the utility room, the guest room, the wedding room of Han Cheng and Yangmei, and a room for children.
During the day, Han Cheng was asked to wash the quilt; now there is only one clean quilt. Is it possible for the whole family to squeeze into one quilt?

Chapter 19
"I'm not afraid of the cold; you can have the quilt. The bed outside will be dry tomorrow. We'll buy another one after we get our marriage certificate."
Han Cheng didn't expect that he would bring a wife back with him when he returned. In the afternoon, he listened to Su Xiaoxiao's words and foolishly washed the quilt. He had never considered whether they still had a bed to sleep on at night.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. In this age of material scarcity, the marriage certificate issued by the brigade to her can only be used in the local commune. If you want to buy a new quilt here, you need to show your marriage certificate.
No wonder her mother has to save a little bit of cloth and rags that can't be worn anymore. Xiaobao's quilt was made from scraps of cloth or rags saved over time. Fortunately, their commune plants cotton, and they can have a little every year. With a large number of people in the family, there won't be enough quilts to warm the entire family.
Han Cheng has a few quilts. They are old, but he washed them and exposed them to the sun in the afternoon, so there's no more quilt they could use to cover themselves. Besides, covering himself with a quilt at this time will only make him sweat throughout the night.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Then you should remember to wear thick clothes, so you don't catch a cold."
Han Cheng nodded, "I know."
The two cubs were so sleepy that Su Xiaoxiao had to take them back to their room to sleep. The smart boy Fantuan asked, "Mom, won't Dad sleep with us?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Dad is too big. The bed is not wide enough. So, Dad will sleep alone."
Han Cheng took a deep look at her, lowered his eyes, but did not say anything, and went back to his room.
The room for the two cubs only has a 1.5-meter-long bed, which is insufficient for three people to sleep. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao is small and thin.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Doubao to sleep on the innermost side, and she slept on the outside, but Xiao Doubao refused and insisted on being next to his mother. Fantuan also wants to be next to his mother, but he also wants someone who will pamper his younger brother. In the end, he let Xiao Doubao sleep in the middle.
After fooling around for a while, the cubs became less sleepy.
Su Xiaoxiao believes that telling bedtime stories is an important part of raising young children, but she is unsure of what kind of stories to tell to young children of this era, or whether the Grimm's or Andersen's Fairy Tales were banned books. She could only tell them in advance that, they couldn't tell these stories to other people after listening to them. This is their family secret, and once they tell it to someone who is not a member of their family, she will never read stories to them again.
The two cubs didn't even know what the story was, so they naturally nodded and agreed.
Su Xiaoxiao herself doesn't read fairy tales very much, and she has had no elders to tell her bedtime stories since she was a child. She could only recall the general idea of these stories. In addition to some of her own associations, she began to tell stories to the cubs:
"A long, long time ago, on a hot summer afternoon, under the grape trellis of an old house, the mother duck hid in the coolest corner to hatch duck eggs. Today, the duck eggs that had been incubated for a long time finally broke their shells. One, two, three, four… a few fluffy little heads stuck out of the cracked eggshells one by one. Guess what came out of the eggshells?"
The clever little Fantuan raised his hand: "I know, I know, it's a duckling!"
"Yes, you're right, our family's Fantuan is really great. A fluffy yellow duckling has been born…"
…
Su Xiaoxiao spoke in a sweet and delicate voice. She didn't ask any questions later. Her voice became softer. She briefly described the story of the Ugly Duckling in her memory. The two cubs gradually fell into a sweet dream, full of their mother's gentle smile and sweet voice.
This was the sweetest night they slept after birth, and it was also the night they remembered most when they grew up.
Han Cheng also felt sweet. The two rooms were close to each other, and the door was not closed. Su Xiaoxiao's voice was very clear in the night, where even fallen needles could be heard.
Han Cheng put his hands behind his head, looked at the dark roof, and raised his thin lips. Suddenly, he was very envious of his son.
…
After a night of silence, Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by Xiao Doubao's kiss the next day.
Because Su Xiaoxiao always kisses Xiao Doubao, Xiao Doubao also learned to give kisses.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was a shitshoveling officer in her previous life, was always woken up by her cat. When she opened her eyes, she looked at the soft cub and was dazed for a while.
She took her watch and looked at the time. It was just past six.
Fantuan is still sleeping soundly. Baby shouldn't be starved. Su Xiaoxiao guessed that he woke up hungry.
She held the baby in her arms and said in a low voice: "Good morning, baby, are you hungry? You should say good morning to your mother when you wake up."
Xiao Doubao tried to move his mouth and said: "Da… Da"— however, he couldn't speak.
But he has made a lot of progress compared with the previous "Ah-Ah".
Su Xiaoxiao encouraged him and said: "Little cub is so awesome."
Su Xiaoxiao came out with the cub in her arms and found smoke curling from the kitchen above the roof and a busy figure in the kitchen.
"Comrade Han Cheng, why are you up so early?"
As Han Cheng looked at his wife, who was holding his son with her eyes bent and smiling, he couldn't help but be infected with the atmosphere, which made his mood even better.
"I'm used to getting up early, so, I boiled some sweet potato porridge, heated the meal yesterday, and rinsed some vegetables. Is it okay?"
Han Cheng noticed that Su Xiaoxiao likes to eat meat, but every meal must have fruits and vegetables.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I'll take over. Doubao is hungry. You can make him a glass of milk first, and I will take him to wash."
Han Cheng looked at his son, who looked like he was Su Xiaoxiao's son. His younger son was too clingy to Su Xiaoxiao, it doesn't matter if he's a daughter… alas, he is afraid of raising him into a delicate son.
Then, Han Cheng watched Su Xiaoxiao stoop to brush his little son's teeth. The little guy sat on the bench and opened his mouth. His big black and white eyes looked at Su Xiaoxiao for a moment, with a small expression of enjoyment and cooperation.
Han Cheng is jealous again. 'It seems that my wife likes his son more than him.'
On the other side, Fantuan also woke up. He rubbed his eyes and came out of the room. The first sentence he said when he woke up was: "Mom, can I raise some ducklings?"
There were too many things to buy yesterday, and Su Xiaoxiao even forgot about this one. She shook her head: "We can't raise ducklings; they need to live in water. We can buy a few chicks to raise, they are fluffy and cute when they are young."
Fantuan asked again: "Then, can they also become white swans when they grow up?"
Huh?
Well, I'd better avoid the fairy tales about hens in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible, even for a duckling. Only the special duckling mentioned last night can do that. But we can cook the chicken when the chicks are grown up. Did you forget the chicken leg you ate at the hostel before? That chicken was raised by Su Xiaobao when it was still a chick. Is it delicious?"
Fantuan recalled the taste and swallowed: "Well, it's delicious. I'll raise chicks!"
Children are still easy to coax. Su Xiaoxiao turned to face Han Cheng, and said, "Comrade Han Cheng,…
Now every family hatches their chicks with the eggs laid by their old hens. Han Cheng is unsure if he can purchase them outside.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the army and ask who has chickens. If there are some, we'll trade them for an equal price. I'll bring some bamboo back at noon and make a fence like Xiaobao's chicken coop."
Su Xiaoxiao looked back at Fantuan and said, "Comrade Fantuan, what do you think of Dad's idea?"
Fantuan gave a thumbs up to his father, "Dad, this is a great idea!"
Han Cheng: "…" Come on, now the whole family is imitating the way Su Xiaoxiao talks.
Su Xiaoxiao is also very particular about instant-boil dishes. She cooks them in oil and salt water and then mixes them with garlic paste and peanut oil after they are out of the pot.
When the dish was made, the smell was fragrant, and it looked appetizing. Han Cheng didn't know how she could cook so well. It seems that everything will become very delicious after being touched by her hands.
Sweet potato porridge with leftover fat intestines and small rapeseed is still a filling meal.
Han Cheng's vacation was completely over, and he officially returned to the army to report for duty.
Su Xiaoxiao's cub-raising life in the family compound also officially began.
After knowing what to do based on what she experienced yesterday, the first thing Su Xiaoxiao did today was to go to the market to buy vegetables, but the problem is that… the two cubs. The big one can't still walk properly, and the small one hasn't completely recovered from his sprained foot. They walked for nearly 20 minutes before they arrived at the market.
In recent years, everyone has become used to working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It is only seven o'clock in the morning, and the food market has been crowded with people.
Su Xiaoxiao loved shopping in the vegetable market in her last life. She thought this was the most lively and humane part of town, so as a house girl, she went to the vegetable market and supermarket the most.
But now, she is a little regretful. In the morning, Han Cheng asked her whether he would buy the vegetables first and then go back to the army, but she rejected his offer.
She should have let him buy them instead. Now it's really hard to squeeze into the crowd with two cubs.
You need to queue up at the supply and marketing cooperatives. It was also the same with the meat joint factory, and you even had to queue up to buy vegetables. Su Xiaoxiao simply wants to cry.
Just as she was about to go home and eat the dried fish delivered by Zhou Yuhua yesterday at noon, an old lady who was about sixty years old and looked very unkind at first glance, stopped her, "Stop! Are you the rural girl that married Han Cheng?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "…" What is this situation?
Chapter 20
Rural girl? Well, she is indeed a girl who came from a rural area. It's so nice living in the countryside, her parents are simple, and as a farmer's child, she is very proud of her origins. Very proud!
When Fantuan heard the woman's voice, he immediately became unhappy. He curled his lips and said: "Mom, she's a bad aunt. The mother of the bad aunt is as bad as the bad little aunt."
When Fantuan's mother went to work, Fantuan would see that his bad little aunt, Yang Tao, secretly threw the food outside, and the bad aunt would pick it up outside. Whenever this happens, lock him in the shower room.
When Fantuan's mother came back from work, Yang Tao would tell Fantuan's mother that, he threw stones at passers-by outside. That person was clearly not a passerby, but a bad person who broke and stole things!
Xiao Fantuan couldn't help being mad as he remembered the past. He didn't want to compare his mother with his stepmother, but he couldn't help thinking that if it were his (biological) mother, she would not just listen to him, but instead believe whatever his little aunt would say, which was very different from what his mother (Su Xiaoxiao) said. She would certainly bend down, listen to him talk from start to finish, and then tell him whether his actions were right or not.
Xiao Fantuan doesn't feel that, liking his new mother a little more would wrong his (bio) mother, because he always believed that, her mother (SXX) is a fairy sent by his mother (bio) from heaven to protect him, and she would not blame him.
Annoying people will be late, but will never be absent. The Su family doesn't have any annoying people, but that doesn't mean the other families don't. She has just arrived in the military base's family area, and they don't even know her face well, but alas, she met an annoying mother and daughter pair.
The hands holding Fantuan tightened.
On the other hand, Fantuan squatted down and stealthily picked up a small stone.
"I'm Han Cheng's wife. What can I do for you, grandma?"
Yang Tao's mother raised her mouth and snorted to the sky, her eyes stared at Su Xiaoxiao with disdain. "Thin arms and legs, you're like a bean sprout. Is Han Cheng blind? Do you know who I am?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and asked with a smile, "Why do I have to know who you are? We'll go first if you have nothing to say."
Su Xiaoxiao led Fantuan away.
Yang Tao's mother walked in front of her and stopped her. "Do you know how to be polite? Han Cheng has to call me Aunt when he sees me! Your and Han Cheng's marriage is still not approved, right? I advise you to go back to where you belong. A rural girl still dares to climb high branches! Go home and fetch a basin of water and look yourself!"
Who doesn't know that Han Cheng is a hot potato? No matter how many people lined up, girls from the countryside shouldn't have a chance!
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "I am very polite. In our countryside, dogs who can't understand human language are always the ones who block the way. I looked at myself in the mirror before I went out in the morning. I think I am pretty good-looking. Is your taste here different from our countryside? Is your look, as they call it, beautiful here?"
Su Xiaoxiao spoke softly, with a good temper and a sincere tone. However, as soon as she finished talking, the people around her roared with laughter.
The delicate little lady is more beautiful than the wrinkled old woman, and Head Han's wife really knows how to talk. But it's a real relief.
The key is that the tone of her voice is gentle and sincere. It doesn't sound like she is scolding you, but underneath that gentle voice were words that can scold people badly.
Yang Tao and her mother didn't have good characters, to begin with. Yang Tao's mother is famous for being greedy for small things. She is arrogant and unreasonable. She bullies people a lot. Everyone wants to take a detour when they see her. There's no way for them to be unhappy when they see her being embarrassed.
Even though she had never read a book, Yang Tao's mother could tell that Su Xiaoxiao was scolding her. She has a low level of education, so she couldn't compare to Su Xiaoxiao, but she knew how to play tricks.
"Oh! Everyone can be a judge. I greeted her so kindly, and yet she scolded this old woman, called me a dog, and told me I was ugly. Why did Han Cheng bring such an uneducated rural girl back? I have to find Han Cheng's leaders to be the judge. They will definitely not agree to this kind of rural girl, marrying into our military region!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "…" That's very kind of you. In other words, you just don't want her to marry Han Cheng.
"I only doubted my own taste and asked if your face is the standard for being called beautiful here. You can't think of yourself as a dog that was blocking the way in our village. The dog who blocks the way in our village doesn't look like you. By the way, you should ask Han Cheng's leaders whether they agree with our marriage. If they don't agree, I can go home."
"No!" Fantuan suddenly roared and threw the little stone at Yang Tao's mother. "You bad old woman, go away! Don't drive my mother away!"
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked. Apart from Fantuan's emotional excitement when they met for the first time, he was always fine.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly put down the beanbag, squatted on the ground, hugged Fantuan, leaned into his ear, and said, "Fantuan, think about it with your clever little head, and you will know that I am lying to the old woman. How can I be willing to leave such a good little Fantuan? However, we are polite people who attack with words; we should not do anything that makes it appear that we are wrong; our actions must be justified. Do you understand? However, we can scare your aunt. Wait, no matter what mother says to her, you can't take it seriously."
Fantuan nodded his head as if he understood. He wiped his tears with the back of his small hand and glared at the old woman fiercely.
Yang Tao's mother was startled by his ferocious eyes, and it took her a long time to recognize that it was Fantuan, and then she became trickier and sat down on the floor to act shamelessly. "Oh, they beat me, they beat this old lady, please be the judge! The stepmother raised the child to bully people!"
In fact, Fantuan didn't use any force at all, he just threw a small pebble at her, There are so many people here who saw it. Su Xiaoxiao doesn't want to waste more words with such a clown, but she still has to solve it. The town was not so big. She will eventually meet her again next time. It's annoying to argue here every time.
Su Xiaoxiao simply imitated her and sat cross-legged on the ground, touched Fantuan's head with one hand, propped his chin with the other, and said to him with a perplexed expression:
"This is called hitting people? I can't help it. Our Fantuan likes me, his stepmother, very much. He throws pebbles at you this time, but what will happen when he grows up? He may throw knives at you. If he grows up, he may or may not steal his father's gun. I advise you to be careful. You know, I'm just a stepmother. It's not easy to control other people's sons. If you have any complaints, you'd better go to Han Cheng now, I really don't know what he will throw at you next time."
Su Xiaoxiao leaned forward and looked at her with a half-smile. "If we hurt you, we'll pay you a little more for your medical expenses, but he's just a kid, so it must be light…" Su Xiaoxiao paused and shook her head again. "No, no, it shouldn't be fatal."
Yang Tao's mother was shocked. Every time she threw herself at others, others were afraid of her. Why didn't this country girl follow the routine?
Yang Tao's mother remembered that she had just said something in Fantuan's ear for a long time…. And after that, Fantuan looked at her fiercely. Did she teach Fantuan to kill?
What an evil stepmother!
Yang Tao's mother became extremely scared. Fantuan was a fierce child. When she was three or four years old, he often threw stones at her. After being taught by this evil stepmother, he may really throw a knife at her next time!
Children don't have to go to prison to kill people. If he does this, she will definitely…
Yang Tao's mother dared not think about it. She got up from the ground and ran away!
Su Xiaoxiao: "…" Does she have to be that afraid?
She looked at the vigorous figure that was totally different from the sixty-year-old lady and felt ashamed.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Fantuan's head again and said, "Fantuan is good. You can't take what I just said seriously. We are polite people. We must persuade people with logic and not take things lightly. If your aunt wasn't unreasonable, mother, wouldn't frighten her like this. She is an elder, we can't do such things as throw stones anymore, do you understand?"
Fantuan nodded aggressively. He thought his mother was so powerful that she could scare people away by saying a few words!
If Fantuan is a little older and reads more books, he will know that there is a move in the art of war that is called "fighting without cutting blood".
Little Fantuan remembered his mother's words, and he also wanted to be a reasonable person!
Su Xiaoxiao picked up the beanbag from the ground, patted the dust off her pants, and smiled sweetly at everyone surrounding them: "Our children are usually very obedient. I'm sorry for letting you see a joke today."
The people who ate melons:
"Where is it? It was Yang Tao's mother's fault. She's too much. All of us saw it."
"Fantuan's mother, you look delicate and timid and became worried that you will be bullied by her. I didn't expect you to be very powerful."
"Yes, we are always afraid of this old woman. Fantuan's mother you are…"
"Fantuan, do you want to buy meat? It's not easy for you to line up with your two children. Come here and buy it first. We'll be fine buying it a bit later."
"Right, right, you go first…"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled again and said, "No, how can I do that? I just came here and didn't know about the situation. I knew everyone had come so early. I should let our Han Cheng buy good food before going to the army, so I won't bother you."
"No trouble, no trouble, come here…"
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao held the bean bag in one hand and held it with the other while greeting everyone. Fantuan, who was carrying the meat, returned home with a smile on his face.
…
