Chapter 8
He moved his toes forward, it would be too wasteful for these rice noodles to fall on the ground, but Xie Bai didn't want Xie Cheng to achieve his goal.

For a moment, shame and self-esteem made Xie Bai's legs feel like they were filled with lead, unable to move.

The next day.

The sun slowly rose from the east, and the crowing of the rooster became brighter and brighter.

Smoke was also rising from the chimneys of some houses.

Xie Cheng yawned big, she opened her eyes and looked around.

"It seems that I still haven't put it back on."

She has read a lot of novels before, and if she wants to wear them back, she must meet certain conditions.

For example, Qixing Lianzhu, such as natural vision, or fulfilling the wish of the original owner during his lifetime.

Thinking about it, Xie Cheng sighed, if only her small space was conscious.

After putting on her shoes, Xie Cheng picked up the coat on the stool and put it on her body. She took two steps forward and opened the crumbling wooden door.

I have to say that the environment of this Xiangshan village is quite beautiful, and there is no such sweet air in modern times.

When I just arrived in Mao, all the villagers should be cooking.

Xie Cheng originally planned to make noodles in clear soup, but now the Xie family doesn't care what they want. As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

When she walked to the door of the kitchen, a soft cry suddenly reached Xie Cheng's ears, and she raised her eyebrows.

"Who is crying this early in the morning?"

She quietly walked to the door of the kitchen, and when she looked inside, she found a woman in burlap squatting on the ground, her body still trembling slightly.

Looking at the familiar figure from behind, Xie Cheng pursed his lips slightly.

"Mom, is that you?"

Hearing the voice behind his ears, Xie Liu immediately wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve.

Without turning her head, she immediately said: "Yes, Cheng Zi, why did you get up so early, mother said that cooking is done at home."

Xie Liu's voice still had a strong nasal tone. After Xie Cheng felt something was wrong, he walked to her side in three steps at a time.

"Did you cry just now?"

This is an affirmative sentence, Xie Liushi did not dare to turn around, she silently shook her head.

"No, my mother was just blinded by the sand just now."

The ground has been swept clean, and there is no wind now, how could it be possible to be blinded by the sand.

Xie Cheng forcefully pushed Xie Liushi over. Seeing her swollen walnut-like eyes, Xie Cheng frowned.

"Mother, you're so good, why are you crying so sadly, is someone bullying you?"

The gang of hooligans from yesterday came to the door again looking for work, right?

Logically speaking, if they really came to find fault, they should have made a big move, and she wouldn't have slept so dead.

Looking at Xie Cheng's scrutinizing eyes, Xie Liushi sniffed.

"It's okay, you think too much, my eyes are really uncomfortable."

"Since you're uncomfortable, let me show you."

Xie Cheng directly raised her hand, trying to open Xie Liu's eyelids, but she suddenly took a step back.

"No, my eyes are already healed, so I don't need to look."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng shook his head helplessly.

"Now you are a part of the Ye family. If you really regard me as your daughter, please tell me about it. Don't let your daughter think here and there by herself."

The tone was very gentle, like a continuous drizzle, it penetrated into Xie Liushi's heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red again.

"Yesterday's rice and noodles are gone. I clearly remember putting them in the rice jar."

So, she thought it was a big deal, if she lost it, she would lose it, and just buy it again.

"It's okay, it must have been stolen by someone else, right?"

Hearing this, Xie Liu immediately denied: "Impossible, there are only so many villagers in our Xiangshan Village, and they are all very simple, it is absolutely impossible to take things from other people's homes."

Besides, they couldn't afford to eat white steamed buns now. If someone steamed chubby white steamed buns, it would definitely cause criticism from others.

Seeing the determined expression on Xie Liu's face, Xie Cheng nodded.

"It seems that there is an inner ghost."

Xie Liu was very puzzled: "What ghost?"

Xie Bo, who was dreaming sweetly, was suddenly pulled up vigorously, and he rubbed his eyes.

"Who is it?"

Perhaps it was because he had just woken up, his thoughts were still a little dull, and his eyes were hazy.

When Xie Bo saw Xie Cheng intently, he was suddenly taken aback.

"How will you be here?"

Seeing his surprised expression, Xie Cheng sneered.

"Where did you get the rice noodles in the kitchen?"

Hearing this, Xie Bo's throat moved slightly, and it lowered its eyebrows slightly, completely daring not to look directly into Xie Cheng's eyes.

"What rice noodles, I don't know."

"It's the rice noodles I brought back yesterday. Didn't you say it's poisonous and dare not eat it? It's gone today."

Xie Cheng's suspicious tone made Xie Bai angry, and he clenched his fists.

"So you suspect me now?"

I don't doubt who you suspect, what Xie Cheng hates the most is people who waste food, and now that Xie's family is so difficult, she can buy enough rice and noodles for a month.

"Hurry up and hand it over, my mother is very sad now, I don't have to tell her the truth."

She stretched out her hand directly, and Xie Bai's face was very ugly.

"How could my mother know about this..."

Hearing his mumbling voice, Xie Cheng's face darkened.

"Did you hear me?"

Xie Bai's thoughts were pulled back, and he shook his head.

"If you say you don't know, you don't know. It's impossible for me to do such a shameful thing.

He straightened his neck, as if he was actively begging for a fight.

Xie Cheng desperately suppressed the urge to kill in his heart.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll call my mother over and ask her to come over and comment."

In fact, the person Xie Cheng was so determined to take away the rice noodles was Xie Bai, not just because of his attitude yesterday.

Every time the sun just rises, Xie Bo will find it and chop firewood, while Xie Song will go to a distant place to fetch water.

Day after day, year after year, the two brothers gradually formed a stable biological alarm clock.

But now... Xie Cheng glanced up and down, there were two big dark circles under Xie Bai's eye sockets, and she just felt his pulse quietly.

The pulse condition is still a bit vain, and the heartbeat is also very fast, obviously a guilty conscience.

The eyes of the two met each other in the air, and after a while, Xie Bai was defeated, and he looked out the door with his head poking around.

"Isn't it okay for me to tell you the truth, but you have to promise me that you won't tell mother about it."
