70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 170 It would be nice to be my mother
But as soon as Xu Zhongjun approached, the two people at the corner immediately began to tremble, and put their hands forward to protect their face and head, while begging for mercy in a low voice: "Don't hit me, grandma, don't hit me, I don't eat dumplings anymore, don't hit me!"

At this time, Xie Xiaonian also saw clearly who the two of them were, they were the two daughters of Xu Laoling's second son's family, Sanya and Siya, who he met when he was eating pig dishes.

Maybe it was because of the pregnancy, Xie Xiaonian, who was already soft hearted, became softer.

Seeing the two little girls wearing ragged cotton padded jackets, their faces were swollen and high, begging for mercy uncomfortably, tears streaming down their faces.

Xie Xiaonian wiped away tears, stepped forward quickly, knelt down and said softly: "Sanya, Siya, don't be afraid, it wasn't your grandma who came, and no one beat you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Maybe it was because Xie Xiaonian's voice was softer, or maybe it was because they saw that they really hadn't been beaten, the two gradually put down their arms in front of them, and stopped shaking, but they still looked at Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun defensively.

Seeing that the two were not as excited as before, Xie Xiaonian said with a smile: "When did you come here? This is not close to your production team. Why are you hiding here instead of going home?"

The two who were originally in better condition, when they heard Xie Xiaonian say the word "go home", their bodies couldn't help shivering again, their affection was also evidently fearful.

"It's okay, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it, have you eaten yet?" Seeing that the two were a little scared again, Xie Xiaonian said hastily.

The older Sanya looked at Xie Xiaonian and the two, and said cautiously: "No, during the Chinese New Year, Siya wants to eat dumplings, but the grandma won't let her. The eldest sister stole one while washing the dishes, and the grandma found out, and she wants to beat the four of us." , the eldest sister and the second sister let the two of us run out, it was dark, and we didn’t know where it was, so we came here. Let’s go now, let’s go now.”

"I didn't mean to drive you away, haven't you guys eaten yet? Why don't you go to my aunt's house to eat, my aunt's house has dumplings." Xie Xiaonian held back the tears that were about to fall again, and said softly while touching Sanya's head.

"Don't eat, don't eat, we don't eat dumplings." Sanya obviously had a shadow on dumplings, she shook her head quickly after hearing this, and said protecting Siya.

But Si Ya was still young, when she heard that she could eat dumplings, she already forgot the beating she received, and looked at Xie Xiaonian with bright eyes, looking forward to it.

"Did you guys not eat since midnight? If you don't eat, your sister will eat too. Don't be afraid, follow auntie and go to auntie's house to eat dumplings!" Xie Xiaonian was about to pull them up .

However, the two children had been huddled in the corner for too long, and because they were suffering from hunger and cold, they were already frozen stiff, and their legs could not use their strength at all, and they did not stand up after standing several times.

"It's okay, take your time, let's move around first." After speaking, Xie Xiaonian gently rubbed the legs of the two of them.

Sanya looked at the gentle and beautiful person in front of her, and the rest of her uneasiness was gone. It was the first time someone treated her so gently when she grew up.

Although her parents and sister are also very kind to her, they are very busy, and they are beaten or scolded all day long. They have never been so careful and gentle.

The little Sanya thought longingly: "How wonderful it would be if this were my mother!"

"Okay, stand up and walk around!" Xie Xiaonian said encouragingly after rubbing for a while.

After all, Sanya is 8 years old, so she recovers relatively quickly, and can walk when she stands up, but Siya is extremely malnourished, her calves are as thin as firewood, so she can only move slowly.

Xie Xiaonian wasn't in a hurry, she didn't mean to rush, she just stood aside and watched with a smile.

Then he said to Xu Zhongjun: "There is hot water in the thermos, you can go home and have a bowl of dumplings first!"

Now that Xu Zhongjun is at home, there are no dumplings left at noon, so Xu Zhongjun can only cook a new bowl.

Although Sanya felt very embarrassed, but after looking at Siya's thin body, she didn't say any more words of rejection.

When Xie Xiaonian led the two of them home, Xu Zhongjun had already cooked the dumplings, and was chilling the bowl with cold water in the yard to make the dumplings cool quickly.

Xie Xiaonian didn't expect Xu Zhongjun to be so careful, knowing that the two children would be anxious, he even served cold food in advance to save them from scalding.

Although the two children have been looking at the dumplings in the bowl since they entered the yard, Xie Xiaonian didn't let them eat immediately, but said softly: "The dumplings are still hot, they will burn your mouth, let's wash our hands first!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun: "Zhongjun, you give them two basins of hot water to wash their hands, and I'll go in and get some chilblain ointment."

Because the original owner suffered from cold hands every year, Xie Xiaonian made a lot of chilblain ointment in advance, but she didn't use it this year, so it happened to be for the two girls.

Thinking that their two sisters do so much work every day, they will definitely have frostbite on their hands, so they took the two largest boxes out of the space.

"Apply some ointment on your hands after washing your hands every day. After a while, the frostbite on your hands will heal. If you run out, come to Auntie. Auntie has done a lot, and there are many more." Xie Xiaonian sat On the kang, while applying ointment to the two of them, he instructed.

"Can you wipe the ones on your feet too?" Sanya asked in a low voice.

"Yes, do you have them on your feet? Come, let me see." After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, she was ready to take off their shoes.

"We don't have it, my eldest sister and my mother have it."

"Then you take the ointment back, and let your elder sister apply it at night. This ointment is very effective, and Lan Huaniang's hands were wiped well with this ointment." Xie Xiaonian handed the ointment to Sanya and asked her to put it away. .

"Yeah!" Sanya carefully put the two boxes into her pocket, and she was going to let the elder sister wipe it on when she got home, so that the elder sister's hands and feet would not be itchy and painful all the time, and they would often bleed water.

"Okay, the dumplings are ready to eat, let's eat!" Xie Xiaonian took the dumplings from Xu Zhongjun's hand, sat on the edge of the kang, and prepared to feed the two children.

"Auntie, we can eat by ourselves, no need to feed." Sanya said with a red face.

"That's fine, then I'll get you another bowl, and you can sit on the table and eat by yourself!"

Because Si Ya was still young, and she couldn't eat too much at once, Xie Xiaonian put 3 leek and egg dumplings, 3 pork and shiitake mushroom dumplings in her bowl, and put the rest in front of San Ya.

But Sanya didn't immediately pick up the dumplings and put them in his mouth like Siya did, but said cautiously: "Auntie, I'll just eat two, can I take the rest home, big sister and second sister also I’ve never eaten dumplings before!”

"You go ahead and eat, there are still a lot at home. Auntie will get you some steamed dumplings later. They won't rot and are easy to take with you. Auntie will pack some for you later." Xie Xiaonian looked at this The sensible Sanya said with a smile.

It is said that being a mother is strong, but Sanya's parents can't even protect such a small child. From the beginning to the end, no matter what they do, Sanya only thinks of her two older sisters, and never speaks of their love. Parents, it can be seen that at home, it is just the four sisters hugging each other to keep warm and depend on each other. I don't know if Sanya's parents will regret their weakness and uselessness in the future.

Because it is the Chinese New Year period, there may be people visiting, so the water in the thermos bottle does not add space well water. Although some is added to the dough, it is relatively small. Although the two of them are weak, they will not bear it. live.

Seeing that the two children were eating well and not spilling them, Xie Xiaonian said: "Eat here slowly, I'll go out for a while, Sanya don't share the dumplings with Siya, you know, she's too young to If you eat too much suddenly, you will get a stomachache."

"Well, okay, auntie, go and do your work."

When Xie Xiaonian came to the kitchen, he found that Xu Zhongjun was cooking and steaming dumplings, the husband and wife really had a good understanding, with a word from Xie Xiaonian, Xu Zhongjun knew what to do.

"It's all my fault that I was too tired in the morning, so I didn't notice the two sisters, otherwise they wouldn't have been frozen all morning." Xie Xiaonian sat next to Xu Zhongjun, and said with self-blame.

"I don't blame you. It was still dark when we came back. Didn't I notice it too? Fortunately, nothing happened!" Xu Zhongjun comforted Xie Xiaonian, holding Xie Xiaonian in his arms.

Sanya and Siya should have fallen asleep in the morning, otherwise even if there was a little movement, it would not escape his ears.

"I don't know how their parents are. Such a small child has been outside for such a long time, and I don't know how to look for it. If it's my child, if I don't see him for a minute, I will go crazy." Xie Xiaonian thought of the pity of the two children. So, said angrily.

"That's right, not everyone is a good mother like my wife." Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was so angry, Xu Zhongjun calmed down the atmosphere.

"You're the only one with poor mouth!" After hearing Xu Zhongjun's words, Xie Xiaonian couldn't get angry anymore.

"His parents are already like that, it's useless for you to be angry, isn't it? If you really feel sorry for them, take care of them more often in the future, and help them from time to time." Xu Zhongjun suggested.

"This is the only way to go now." Xie Xiaonian said with a sigh.

When Xie Xiaonian finished steaming the dumplings, Sanya and Siya also finished their meal and came to the kitchen with empty bowls.

"Auntie, we're done eating, where should we wash the dishes?"

"Give it to me, I'll wash it later!" Xie Xiaonian couldn't bear to let a child of a few years old wash the dishes.

"I often wash the dishes at home, and I guarantee that it will be very clean, Auntie, just let me do it!" Sanya insisted.

Seeing her appearance, Xie Xiaonian agreed, and let Sanya do some work, so she could feel more at ease.

So Xie Xiaonian hurriedly poured a basin of warm water to the door and said, "Just wash here."

"Huh? Why didn't you wash it?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously when she saw Sanya who just insisted on washing the dishes, standing there awkwardly.
