Chapter 24
"What's the matter, are you still angry when you say a few words?"

Su Xintang hurriedly picked up her umbrella and the gift she brought, and caught up with him: "Don't you look at how old you are, how old are you? There are six or seven of them, and you are one. Six or seven beat you, and you Still holding on. If I hadn’t happened to pass by here today, and the stone in that brat’s hand fell down, even if your little life could be saved, you would have to have a scoop on your head!”

The little guy didn't refute her, just glanced at her, and silently lowered his head.

"Now you know it's wrong? Your uncle asked me to come and see you because he was worried that you and your mother would have a bad time. Tell me, what would happen if your uncle saw the scene just now?" She stepped forward and took his hand Little hands, go to his house.

The little hairy monkey glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head.

"Just say what you have to say, don't be shy, like a girl."

"I, I'm not a girl!"

The little monkey was irritated by her words, and immediately blushed and retorted: "It's them, they all laughed at me! They said that I was born with a mother but not taught by my father, and when I got angry, I just, just..."

Su Xintang's words filled with lessons got stuck in her throat.

The Xiang family is very poor, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with bare walls.

After entering the house, Su Xintang urged the little monkey to change his clothes, and was busy drying his hair.

Xiao Qingye would marry her current husband, Xiang Hong, in order to repay the kindness owed by her parents.Unexpectedly, he sent himself into the fire pit.Xiang Hong likes to gamble, not only does not work in the field to earn work points to support his wife and children, but also idles around all day long, gathers people to gamble, and loses nine out of ten bets, and the bets get bigger and bigger, and he loses all his family property in a short time.

Xiao Qingye is very strong, but even if she works hard day and night, she can't match the speed of that man's prodigal fortune.

Xiang Hong is not only good at gambling, but also good at drinking. He beats people when he is drunk, and Xiao Qingye is often beaten by him.

Under such circumstances, the young Xiang Maomao has suffered a lot since he was a child.

After drying his hair, she pulled him to sit down.He took out a big white rabbit toffee from his bosom, peeled off the wrapper, and fed it into the little monkey's mouth: "Come on, try it, see if this candy is delicious?"

This big white rabbit toffee was brought out from home by her, and she couldn't find a place to buy it even in the countryside.In this era of scarce supplies, the temptation of this milk candy is very great, at least, it can be seen from the big eyes of the little hairy monkey that narrowed for a moment.

The sweet milk scent spread in the mouth, stimulating the taste buds, saliva swarmed out, making Xiang Mao Mao shut his mouth in a hurry, covering the source of sweetness, not daring to speak.

It's really sweet and fragrant...

Xiang Maomao had never tasted such delicious toffee, and he didn't know that the taste of candy could be so sweet.

He ate with relish, didn't dare to chew, but sipped it cautiously.

Although he pretends to be a little adult, he is still just a child after all.

There are sweets to eat, and the nature of children is revealed.

Su Xintang didn't urge him, but silently stuffed all the toffee he brought into his pocket, "Take it and hide it so that no one will find it. Take it out when you're hungry or want to eat. do you know?"

"Ugh...!"

He nodded vigorously, his eyes narrowed with joy.

He hurried to the room with the toffee in his arms.

"Xiang Maomao, where is your mother?"

Su Xintang looked around, but couldn't find Xiao Qingye's figure, so she couldn't help asking.

It was raining outside, and the rain was not too light. In such weather, the children went out to herd cattle, and the adults were not at home. Where would they go?

"My mother... went...to the creek."

Fearing that the toffee in its mouth would fall out, the little monkey spoke carefully.

On rainy days, there will be upper water fish swimming out of the creek.At this time, you can catch a lot of fish and shrimp when you lower the net by the water.Of course, the water quality is also good these days, and there are many types of fish and shrimp in the water. Even if you can't catch big fish, there is no shortage of small fish and shrimp.

"To Maomao!"

Su Xintang was about to speak when there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a thin figure rushed into the eaves from the rain.

It's Xiao Qingye!

She wore a coir raincoat and bamboo hat on her head, and as soon as she rushed in, she firmly protected Xiang Maomao behind her, like an old hen protecting its cubs.

"What are you going to do?"

She yelled and separated the two of them: "I don't care how much Xiang Hong owes you, the one who deserves to kill a thousand knives is owed to you. If you have the debt, you can go to him if you have the ability! Why do you make things difficult for someone who is only five or six years old?" child..."

"Uh……"

Su Xintang was embarrassed, the mother and son spoke in the same tone!

Xiang Maomao didn't care about the toffee in his mouth, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qingye's arm: "No! Mom, she is uncle... Uncle asked her to visit us!"

"Who, your uncle?"

Xiao Qingye was stunned.

It's been a long time since she went back to her natal home, and she hasn't heard about Xiao Lingfei for a long time.

When he met Su Xintang, he was stunned, and he didn't care about the embarrassment. He looked at her vigilantly, "You are..." It's not because she was vigilant, it's because there are too many debtors in the past few days, and she was frightened up.

Su Xintang smiled sweetly at her.

"Sister, my surname is Su, and my name is Su Xintang. Brother Xiao is worried about you, so let me stop by to see if you are doing well."

Brother Xiao?
Hearing Su Xintang call his younger brother like that, Xiao Qingye seemed to understand something, looked Su Xintang over, slowly put away his defensive look, and smiled a little on his face.

"Have you heard from Ah Fei? When did you see him?"

She couldn't wait to ask.

"I've known Brother Xiao for a while. Sister, don't worry, I'm the educated youth sent to Qilongpo this time, and I will live here for a while."

Su Xintang pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly extended a helping hand: "Sister, leave the fishing net to me."

Xiao Qingye brought back a bucket of fish and shrimp, and there were still a lot of small fish in the fishing net, which obviously was quite a lot.Just now she rushed in to protect the cub in a hurry, and threw the bucket and fishing net outside the gate.

"Don't, hurry up and don't touch your clothes, my heart hurts your clothes."

Xiao Qingye hurriedly refused, glanced at Su Xintang's clean, quiet and elegant clothes, and hurriedly turned around to command Maomao: "Quick, get the bucket!"

"it is good!"

Xiang Maomao moved quickly, and quickly brought the bucket.

The two chatted and laughed and put all the small fish into the bucket, picked and picked some small fish and shrimp, killed the fish and removed the scales, and invited Su Xintang to stay for lunch.

Su Xintang also wanted to stay, so she naturally agreed.

She was in charge of lighting the fire, and Xiao Qingye was in charge of cooking.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of small talk, Xiao Qingye also made insinuations about the relationship between Su Xintang and Xiao Lingfei.

"How did you meet Ah Fei?"

"The last time someone framed me, Brother Xiao stepped forward and rescued me."

Although Su Xintang didn't intend to reveal her relationship with Xiao Lingfei, she didn't want Xiao Qingye to take her as an outsider to guard against, and her words were ambiguous.
