The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 10
In the broken thatched hut, Yunmo's mother and son got along happily.

Yun Xiaotong squatted on the ground, holding a dry firewood branch, silently practicing the two new words that Yun Mocai taught, with an air of concentration.

"Mother, is it correct to write this way?" After writing it over and over again, the little guy suddenly raised his head and asked Yunmo.

Yunmo stared at the handwriting on the yellow mud floor. The first few rows were crooked, like a group of earthworms dancing wildly, and the next few rows became more and more stylish. It is in place and has made great progress. For a child who has not yet enlightened, being able to learn so quickly is really a talent.

"Well, that's absolutely right." Yunmo smiled and praised, "Tongtong is very smart."

Xiao Douding is indeed her Yunmo's obedient son, if he is nurtured well, his future is boundless.

After finishing speaking, he hugged Yun Xiaotong, nibbled on his sallow and hungry little face, and rubbed his neck, making him giggle.

"Mother, tickle." Yun Xiaotong shrank her neck as she spoke.

Yunmo knew that Xiaodouding was ticklish, so he only teased him for a while, then hugged him again, held his little hand and wrote another three new characters on the yellow mud floor - Yun Zixuan.

"Tongtong, read after mother."

"Okay." Yun Xiaotong looked at the writing on the ground and nodded seriously.

Yunmo pointed to the three big characters on the ground with a dry firewood branch in his hand, and taught word by word: "Yun, Zi, Xuan."

"Yun Zixuan." Yun Xiaotong repeated after Yunmo, articulate and accurate in pronunciation.

"Yes, that's it, that's very correct." Yun Mo smiled slightly.

"Mother, who is Yun Zixuan?" Yun Xiaotong blinked, a little curious, mother seems to be teaching someone's name.

Yunmo looked at him curiously, and said: "Tongtong, you have to remember, this is the name your mother gave you. Even if you don't have a father, you are still your mother's darling, not some wild species, you are a scumbag, etc. If mother is rich, she will send you to school to study."

Hearing Yun Mo's words, Yun Xiaotong's eyes flickered for a moment, and a light flashed in his dark eyes. Obviously, he was looking forward to going to school to study.

"Yeah." The little guy nodded heavily, "Yun Zixuan is my name, I remember it, I have a name, that's great, thank you mother."

The family was so poor that there was not even a single rat droppings, and naturally they couldn’t afford to light an oil lamp. Yun Xiaotong squatted on the ground practicing calligraphy, Yunmo stayed with him for a while, and then went back to the stove to boil hot water. After wiping his face and feet, he took a rest early.

On the second day, hearing the crowing of chickens in the village, Yunmo got up early.

Last night, she didn't eat the corn cakes sent by Qiu's family. She first boiled a pot of boiling water and left some charcoal fire in the stove. She stuck the cold corn cakes on the wall of the hot pot and turned them over in a few minutes. After a while, wait for the pancakes to soften and warm up, then you can eat them.

"Mother, do you want me to help light the fire?"

As soon as Yunmo put the cornbread on the pot, she heard Yun Xiaotong's childish voice coming into the stove.

Xiao Douding put on his clothes and shoes by himself, and was yawning, standing at the door of the kitchen in a daze.

"There's no need to turn on the fire, as long as the cakes in the pan are simmering with the coals in the stove." Yunmo said softly.

After pasting the pancakes, she wiped her hands on her apron, mixed warm water with a broken gourd ladle, brought it to an open place, and waved to Yun Xiaotong, "Tongtong, come and wash your face and hands, let's have breakfast , after breakfast, mother will take you up the mountain to play."

Yun Xiaotong rubbed the corners of her eyes, and walked to Yun Mo's side with a pair of slender legs.
