Marry a rough man!I became the stepmother of the soft and cute dumpling

Chapter 80 The First Meeting

The layout of the roads in the village is not bad. Rong Niang thought she had figured out the route, so she didn't pay much attention to the surroundings. When she came to her senses, she had already gone to a secluded place.

The strange environment and being alone made Rong Niang feel uneasy, she frowned and looked around carefully, groping for the way back.

"Sorry, it's okay." Rong Niang concentrated on finding the way, turned around and accidentally bumped into someone, she quickly backed away, and hurriedly apologized to the person.She never thought that before she could say a word, someone grabbed her wrist, and a lewd voice sounded from above her head, "Where did this little lady come from?"

"Let me go!" Rubbing her restless fingers in circles on her wrist, Rong Niang struggled vigorously, and when she looked up, she saw a young man's face. He took a deep breath: "Where is the little lady going? Brother, I will take you there."

"You, bastard!" Rong Niang was so angry that tears flowed out. She raised her neck and was about to shout for help. The man across from her covered her mouth and laughed even harder. The man approached her neck and took a breath. Said: "Little lady is so sweet, my good brother loves you."

"Stop shouting. Those who can come here are wild mandarin ducks. Whoever has nothing to do here comes here for a stroll."

Her body was crushed by the side of the road, Rong Niang bit her lips tightly, and struggled to pull out the hairpin of her coiled hair. She closed her eyes, and when she was about to get down, she heard a scream, and the weight on her body suddenly lightened.

"Get out!" A deep male voice sounded, with hints of anger, the bastard lying on the ground was terrified, got up and ran to the distance desperately.

Rong Niang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, and saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of her. She hugged her body tightly and called out cautiously: "Jiang Chao?"

The man hummed, took off his coat, and threw it back to her. Rong Niang didn't care much, wiped away her tears, hugged the shirt to hide in his shadow, tried to restrain her trembling body and put on the coat.

"Is it all right?" Jiang Chao stood on the spot, listening to the small sounds behind him, trying to keep his voice as soft as possible.The people behind did not answer, he was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "Blame me, I was distracted for a while, and I didn't notice that you turned in here."

The image of the woman struggling desperately under the man flashed in his mind again. Jiang Chao took a heavy breath and clenched his fists tightly.

If he comes one step later.
"You've been following me?" A woman's soft voice suddenly came from beside him, Jiang Chao turned his head to look, and Rong Niang, who was wrapped in his robe, was already standing beside him, with wet tears on his face and red eyes Looking at himself, he suddenly thought of the red-eyed rabbit he had seen on the mountain.

"You, are you okay?" Jiang Chao looked away from her messy bun, looked away, and didn't answer the question directly.Rong Niang has calmed down now, she shook her head and blessed Jiang Chao, "Thank you, shopkeeper Jiang, for saving me."

"Come back to the inn with me first." Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment, and quickly raised his hand to pick off the dead leaves on Rong Niang's head. He thought for a while, and then said: "Miss An and the others went to Uncle An's house. There is no one in the inn."

Rong Niang nodded, and was about to leave this place, when Jiang Chao suddenly called out to wait, she frowned and stopped where she was, before she could speak, Jiang Chao quickly bent over to pick up something from the ground, and handed it to her.

It's the hairpin that just fell.

Rong Niang looked at Jiang Chao in surprise, she showed no unnecessary expression on the other side, she just smiled and said: "Such a beautiful hairpin is rare, it would be a pity if it was lost by thieves."

The robe wrapped around her body revealed a faint fragrance of bamboo and wood, and Rong Niang was flustered, she picked up the hairpin and said thank you indiscriminately, and walked forward quickly, but Jiang Chao behind her stopped her again.

"What are you doing again!" Rong Niang glared back viciously, "Don't push yourself too hard!"

This is not the attitude towards the savior, Rong Niang silently covered her face in her heart.

"Uh, go to the back on the way back to the inn." Jiang Chao seemed to be taken aback, and stood where he was and muttered.

"Oh!" Rong Niang's face was so red that she was about to bleed, she walked over Jiang Chao and walked out quickly. She was in a hurry and wanted to run.Jiang Chao looked at him for a moment with an inexplicable expression on his face. Seeing that the person was going away, he hurried to catch up.

Here Rong Niang was inexplicably sullen, but there was a happy family atmosphere in that room.

An Xiaoxiao took the two little ones to Uncle An's house to play, which made the two elders who hadn't been in the house for a long time very rare. One hugged the other and was reluctant to let go. It made me laugh out loud, wishing I could hold it in my palm and didn't want to let it go.

"Grandpa An, why don't you grow a beard?" An Shuyue nestled in Second Aunt An's arms, looked at Second Uncle An's bare chin, thought of the old village chief of Daoxiang Village, and stretched out her hand curiously. The little brow frowned, and scolded: "An Shuyue, are you polite?"

"Go, go, what's so fierce." Second Uncle An glared at An Xiaoxiao, took An Shuyue with a smile, and handed his chin into her little hand. The beard is not good-looking, so don't leave it to grandpa."

"What nonsense." Second Aunt An blushed and slapped him, and said angrily in a low voice, "Say nonsense in front of children."

"Grandma An, what is this?" An Yuce was sitting at the side, his eyes caught a wooden box on the table, with four wooden strips across the box, strange in shape, he looked at it curiously for a long time, took advantage of the silence, and asked road.

"This is called a Luban box." Second Aunt An smiled and walked over to take it over, explaining: "Grandpa An went to the town to buy it, and used it to relieve boredom."

An Yuce carefully observed the wooden box, and found that there were four wooden bars on all sides of the box. When he shook it with his hands, he could vaguely hear the sound of things colliding inside.

"Is there something in this box?" He pushed it with his hands, but the box didn't move at all. He observed again and found that there was no mechanism to open it.An Yuce became more and more curious, and his eyes were completely attracted by the wooden box in his hand. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, the box remained tightly closed.

Uncle An laughed loudly, rubbed his head with his big palm, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to untie it, do you want grandpa to teach you?"

An Yuce shook his head, seriously answered "I want to try first", sat down and carefully observed the wooden box.

"The eyes of these two children are quite similar to those of Da Wu." Second Aunt An looked at them lovingly, lowered her head to meet An Shuyue's big round eyes, and pinched her nose lovingly.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. An Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. Before she could even open her mouth, Da Wu approached him. Small."

In front of outsiders, Da Wu still maintained his habitual foolishness. He seemed to put his head close to An Xiaoxiao to flatter him, blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, Xiaoxiao."

Yes. It's a head.Whether it looks good or not, it has to look like you. You are my own father. I didn't expect it. It's exciting.

An Xiaoxiao was calm on the face, but panicked in her heart, she laughed a few times and dared not speak.

The lobby of the inn is divided into two. On the left side of the entrance is Jiang Chao's counter, and on the right is An Xiaoxiao's medicine shop. The little doctor finished catching the prescription and was about to pack it up for home. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Chao and Rong Niang. One after the other entered the door.

"Miss Rong, you, are you okay?" Rong Niang was wearing a robe that obviously didn't fit well, her cheeks and hair were full of mud, the little doctor ran out of the medicine cabinet in a panic, not daring to ask any more questions, but just dug out a clean Handing over the handkerchief, he stammered, "There is hot water in the backyard."

"Thank you." Rong Niang took the handkerchief and nodded her thanks. She stood there, hesitating how to explain, Jiang Chao said at the right time: "The back mountain is sparsely populated, and many hunters will set up traps there. Rong, please be more careful next time." .”

Oh, I stepped into a trap.

The little Langzhong who didn't have much insight suddenly realized, the panic in his eyes instantly turned into sympathy, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt wrong, and was about to continue asking honestly, Jiang Chao silently stepped forward to block his sight, Rong Niang walked in quickly backyard.

"Don't mention this to Shopkeeper An." Jiang Chao patted Xiao Langzhong on the shoulder, quickly pushed him out of the inn, and stopped him from blurting out why.

The little doctor had been living in an inn all the time, but he found a farmhouse with a reasonable rent and moved out not long ago. He groaned twice, seeing that the pressure was ineffective, he picked up the medicine box and slipped back to his residence in desperation.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, dinner is not ready yet, and An Xiaoxiao and the others will come back soon, Rong Niang and Jiang Chao have no time to rest, so they immediately went into the back kitchen and started preparing dishes.

Skilled in washing and cutting vegetables, Rong Niang and Jiang Chao cooperated tacitly, and just in time for them to enter the inn, they prepared a table of meals.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

As soon as she stepped into the inn, Rong Niang happened to bring hot dishes to the dining table in the lobby, and the aroma of the steaming croquettes filled the air. An Shuyue was so hungry that she twitched her nose and threw herself on the wooden table to watch, her small mouth kept sucking saliva. Looks like a little hungry ghost
The little hand that was about to move was testing the edge of danger, and finally reason overwhelmed the glutton in her stomach. She barely looked away from the plate, pulled An Yuce and ran to the backyard, "Hurry up and wash your hands with me!"

"Rong Niang, who is this?" Seeing Rong Niang's attire, An Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, Rong Niang quickly explained: "It's really inconvenient to accidentally splash water behind you in the back kitchen, so please trouble Jiang The shopkeeper borrowed a set of clothes for me to change into."

Exploring his gaze immediately shifted to himself, Jiang Chao straightened his back, nodded in acquiescence.

The whole family ate together lively, looking at the piles of food on the table, Da Wu was a little embarrassed, "I hope we come back earlier, and I can help you."

"Second Uncle An likes to be lively, so it's good to spend more time with them." Jiang Chao smiled, divided the two chicken legs on the plate into two small bowls, turned his head and took out the wine behind him. Put it in his hand for easy pouring.

"Rong Niang, how long are you staying here?" An Xiaoxiao asked suddenly.

"We'll be leaving tomorrow." After swallowing the food in her mouth, Rong Niang replied, "The embroidery shop has a lot of new orders, so I can't leave for too long."

"Okay, then I'll pack up my things tonight and let Shuyue and the others take them back together."

The originally warm atmosphere cooled down, An Shuyue and An Yuce looked at each other, and at the same time slowed down the speed of serving dishes.An Shuyue secretly kicked Da Wu under the dining table, the man straightened up, pondered for a long time beside him, and said cautiously: "Anyway, the school is fine, why not let them stay for a few more days, and I will send them back when school starts. .”

"Spring plowing will start soon, so you won't have time to send it off later." An Xiaoxiao didn't answer, glanced at Dawu, and lightly revealed the matter, "Okay, no need to talk, I will go back with Rongniang tomorrow morning .”

Seeing that the plan failed, An Shuyue sullenly poked the rice in her bowl with chopsticks. Seeing this, An Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and reminded: "Shuyue, don't lose your temper while eating."

The child responded and lowered his head to pick up the rice.An Yuce raised his small face, and suddenly said: "I forgot to take the Luban box that Grandpa An promised to give me. I want to go to Grandpa's house to get it back before I leave."

An Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, and said directly: "No, if you want to go back tomorrow, go to the town to buy."

An Yuce's small face showed a little discomfort, he twisted his body, and said in a low voice, "No need."

Before he left, he had already deciphered the mechanism, so it was really unnecessary to spend money to buy another one.

An Xiaoxiao glanced at the two little ones, and said concisely: "Eat."

Heh, you still want to use Uncle An to pressure me?Your mother won't eat this set.

Da Wu looked at the two little ones who were very disappointed, and the words he wanted to say were on his mouth. Finally, seeing An Xiaoxiao's warning eyes, he ate silently and swallowed his words.

"An Niang, they are children after all, why should they be so strict."

After dinner, Dawu took the two little ones to go to the back mountain to play swords, An Xiaoxiao abandoned Jiang Chao at the inn to clean up the mess, and took Rong Niang to take a slow walk on the village road.Rong Niang remembered the expressions of the two little girls at the dinner table, and couldn't help but said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you stay for a few more days."

"Rong Niang, what happened to you today?" An Xiaoxiao didn't argue, but suddenly asked after a long silence.

"I'm just preparing dinner at the inn, what can happen." Rong Niang's tone was as usual without any flaws.

"You know you can't hide it from me." An Xiaoxiao sighed slightly, she grabbed Rong Niang's wrist, stopped, looked her in the eyes and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Rong Niang frowned, and just about to stop her, she quickly changed the subject, "Did Jiang Chao not tell you about Anjia Village?"

"No." Rong Niang shook her head, An Xiaoxiao sighed again, in addition to concealing her identity as the village head's daughter and her real intentions, she told her everything that happened in Anjia Village, Rong Niang's expression changed from Bai turned green, and finally his little face flushed with anger, and he said angrily, "How unreasonable!"

"Anjia Village doesn't need Daoxiang Village. I don't know what will happen here. It's the best way to send the two little ones away now." An Xiaoxiao pinched Rong Niang's palm and said with a smile: "I can only trouble you Take care of them for me."

"Speaking like that again." Rong Niang gouged out An Xiaoxiao's eyes angrily, and then said worriedly: "Then what should you do?"

"Me?" An Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, "There's nothing you can do, just do it."

Before dawn on the second day, Jiang Chao drove the bullock cart and stopped at the entrance of the inn. I don't know what Dawu said to the two little ones last night. Although they still hugged An Xiaoxiao and refused to let go when they left, but The resistance has obviously subsided a lot.

An Xiaoxiao and Dawu half-coaxed and half-coaxed them into the cart. Rong Niang greeted the two of them, and helped Jiang Chao's men into the bullock cart. Under the urging of Ming, he drove to the entrance of the village.

I don't know when I will see you next time.

Seeing their backs getting farther and farther away, An Xiaoxiao also felt a little sad, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly reacted.

Wucao, no, when did Jiang Chao and Rong Niang get so close? !
