Need for Uncle

Chapter 57

Chapter 56 Su Xiaoxiao

"I'm sorry, that..." Ma Xiaoshuai said in embarrassment, "Our child was injured..."

"Who are you!" The woman still did not relax her vigilance.

"I'm your neighbor, from the Xiangguo Mansion." Ma Xiaoshuai turned his head and pointed to the yard, "My name is Zhang Defu, and I'm the uncle of the Xiangguo Mansion. When I was hunting birds just now, I kept clicking on them. We are going to take a look, who knows This kid came over with a stone and almost hurt someone, our kid is outrageous, so..."

Hearing this, the woman looked at Murong Xiaowa on the wall, and looked up and down at Ma Xiaoshuai, who looked embarrassed. She was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything. She turned around, squatted on the ground, picked up the crying child, and asked worriedly. , "A Bao, how is it? Are you all right?"

"Wow, that guy hit me, sister, it hurts, it hurts." The child cried out loud.

"Hmph, I just slapped you lightly and you just yelled like that, pretending, pretending I'm still hitting." Murong Xiaowan, who was still standing on the other side of the wall, screamed loudly, ready to step over the wall and was caught Ma Xiaoshuai stopped his gaze and then stopped, pursed his lips and muttered, probably swearing again.

"Miss, I'm really sorry..." Ma Xiaoshuai stepped forward embarrassedly, and apologized again.

"Go over, take the bird away, no need to apologize." The woman said without turning her head, and after she said this, she never paid attention to Ma Xiaoshuai, and continued to comfort the crying little brother in her arms with a frown.

"A Bao, how did you raise it?"

"It hurts...it hurts...!!"

"Let my sister take a look." The woman worriedly opened the child's hand, and the little baby's tear-stained face fell into her eyes, and a big red bag aggressively occupied a large area of ​​the little baby's forehead, which was extremely exaggerated. Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help laughing at this scene, while Murong Xiaowan lay down on the wall and laughed heartlessly.

The woman first comforted her younger brother with concern, and then saw that Ma Xiaoshuai did not speak. Ma Xiaoshuai, who was still smiling, immediately restrained himself when he saw this, his face flushed for the first time, and he looked guilty. He didn't know why he was like this, but he I swear that the woman looked at me without blame, without anger, or even without any emotion, her eyes were clean and almost pure, until she turned around, Ma Xiaoshuai still looked like a child who made mistakes, staring bitterly and laughing loudly Murong Xiaowan intensified, "Xiaowan, come down and apologize to me." The culprit still laughed.

"I don't want it." Murong Xiaowan looked up at the sky solemnly, ignoring Ma Xiaoshuai's gnashing of teeth.

Ma Xiaoshuai glanced at the woman who was walking back to the stone bench with his brother in his arms, and felt very sorry.

"Then help me go to the room and get some food for the children."

"What?" Murong Xiaowan widened her eyes exaggeratedly, and said, "No, those are all mine."

"Mine, when did it become yours..." Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up, can I make it up to you next time? Can you just pretend to be helping me?" It's really sad for a reasonable guy. If you make a mistake, you have to wipe your own ass, and you don't want to.

"Okay, I'll help you generously once." Murong Xiaowan smiled sweetly, shrank her head, and her braid disappeared into the wall.

Turning around, Ma Xiaoshuai walked up to the woman, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Xiaowa gradually stopped crying under the comfort of her sister, and this woman whose name is still unknown also found a hot towel to cover the exaggerated big bag, while saying comforting words to her younger brother, turning her head from time to time and looking strangely at the horse. Shuai, it seemed that he was still a little vigilant, which made Ma Xiaoshuai, who was standing aside, even more at a loss, and only cared about laughing.

"Teacher, I'm here." Murong Xiaowan's small head appeared on the wall again, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Ma Xiaoshuai stepped forward a few steps and said, "Give me the things."

A lot of snacks were handed down by Murong Xiaowan.

"Are you coming?" Ma Xiaoshuai asked.

"come over."

"Remember, be honest with me and don't mess around."

Ma Xiaoshuai said with a dark face, and took the little girl down from the wall. The little girl, who was always thinking about eating, picked up the pair of snacks as soon as her feet hit the ground. Seeing that I got it, I got it, with a face full of impatience, Ma Xiaoshuai gritted his teeth again.

Two people, one big and one small, walked to the stone table again. The woman sat on one of the stone benches, hugged her brother in her arms, comforted her brother lightly, and covered the big bag with a towel. Ma Xiaoshuai stepped forward and stabbed him. Poked Murong Xiaowan who was holding snacks in her arms, and motioned for her to give it to someone else. The latter pouted first, and finally rummaged through the pile of things for a long time, found the smallest fruit candy, and handed it to the other person. With wide eyes open, he looked curiously at their children, "Here, take it, I'll give you something to eat, don't cry."

Ma Xiaoshuai, who almost fell down, snatched a chicken leg and a small bottle of fruit juice from the arms of this insincere guy, ignoring the latter's distressed loud cry, licking his face and bending over, smiling at the curious A Bao He smiled and said, "Come on, brother will give you something delicious, then."

Ah Bao stretched out his hand and took the chicken leg that he recognized at a glance. He devoured it without making a sound of exclamation, but her sister actually blocked it on purpose at the beginning, but before she could say the words, Ah Bao took it in her hand and started eating it. He opened his mouth and still didn't say anything. Seeing that his younger brother was eating deliciously, he showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, saying "eat slowly, eat slowly."

To Ma Xiaoshuai's expectation, this child named Abao had surprisingly good teeth, he gnawed on the chicken leg without even a trace of meat left, and he held on to the bone and didn't let go until Ma Xiaoshuai quickly snatched another chicken leg from Murong Xiaowan and handed it over. Bones, this kid doesn't know what's going on, it seems like he's been hungry for so many years, it's still wrong to gobble it up, this makes Ma Xiaoshuai can't help wondering, a kid from a rich family shouldn't be like this...

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai subconsciously looked at the meals of the siblings, and was taken aback, because what the two of them ate was not rice at all, but something like corn mush, and the vegetables on the plate were completely devoid of oil and water. It was worse than the food eaten by the servants in his Xiangguo Mansion. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that people living in such a big house would eat this kind of food.

In doubt, Ma Xiaoshuai raised his head and looked at the plain-looking woman. Although she concealed it well, Ma Xiaoshuai noticed the small movements of her snow-white neck several times. It seemed that not only his brother, but even her wanted to eat it. Although Ma Xiaoshuai was puzzled, he couldn't bear it, so he called Murong Xiaowan to ask her to contribute, but her arms were already empty at this time, and she kept complaining that the child was a pig, and that his I ate them all.

The woman blushed when she heard this, but she quickly covered it up. At this moment, she put down Ah Bao, showed a smile to Ma Xiaoshuai, slightly lowered her body, and said sincerely, "My son, thank you."

"Don't dare, it's our fault." Ma Xiaoshuai laughed dryly.

"My lord, don't worry about it, please come back."

"Then..." Ma Xiaoshuai looked back at the food, and said, "I invited you two to have a meal, and I apologized at that time, what do you think, miss?" The situation is not good, and it is pitiful to guard such a big house without food.

"No, we just ate." The woman pointed at the food without hesitation, and politely declined, "Although the food is not as rich as the one brought by the young master, it is still full. Thank you for your kindness, but it is really unnecessary."

Ma Xiaoshuai respected him. This woman was not ashamed of the predicament at all. On the contrary, she acted so calmly and generously. Just this state of mind made him feel inferior. Although the woman said so, Ma Xiaoshuai still felt sorry and proposed When I brought some snacks over, the woman still shook her head and declined.

"Sister..." Ah Bao tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes, obviously looking forward to it.

The woman calmly shook her head at her younger brother, and the latter also lowered his head in disappointment and did not speak. Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help feeling bitter, and wanted to do something for them from the bottom of his heart, although there was no reason. There are ways to change the status quo, but it is still possible to let them have a full meal once.

The problem is that this woman is too stubborn to accept charity... What should I do?
After a long stalemate, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly saw the pheasant at the feet of the little girl squatting on the ground, and had an idea.

"Miss, I haven't asked for advice yet..."

"My surname is Su, Su Xiaoxiao."

"Miss Su." Ma Xiaoshuai smiled, and said, "Since Miss Su doesn't want to invite me to a meal, then I'll borrow some ingredients from your home to show you two. I didn't eat anything, so I'll have a meal at Miss Su's house today, I wonder if it's okay?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard the words, then looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, and after confirming that the latter didn't intend to ridicule, she apologized: "If the family is in good condition, of course, it's just that I really can't bring you anything to entertain the two of you. Having said that, the young master is a person of status..."

"Don't say that." Ma Xiaoshuai waved his hand, pointed at the bird, and said, "Have you ever eaten a bird?"

"Eat the bird?" Murong Xiaowan's eyes lit up, and she ran over with the bird in her hand, "Eat, eat."

"Go away." Ma Xiaoshuai curled his lips, and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "I've had a hobby of hunting since I was a child, but because I was weak and sick, my body didn't allow me to, so I just hunted some birds in my yard. I have mastered the skill of cooking small birds, but for some reason, the number of birds in the yard has not come here these days, so I am very greedy, the borrowed ingredients just mentioned refer to the wild birds in the young lady's garden, I wonder if the young lady is willing?" Saying this is not good for people to refuse, and it also takes into account Su Xiaoxiao's desire to be given alms, killing two birds with one stone.

"This..." Su Xiaoxiao looked back at the garden, and nodded after a long time.

"Thank you Miss Su." Ma Xiaoshuai thanked him with a bow.

"Don't dare." Su Xiaoxiao smiled, and said: "The birds in the yard are not my family's, so you can just beat them."

After getting the consent, Ma Xiaoshuai immediately picked up the slingshot, and led the cheerful Murong Xiaowan and the curious child to search for targets in the yard. It was the first time that this kind of recreational hunting was regarded as a livelihood. But he worked extraordinarily hard, the Su family's yard was not smaller than Xiangguo's mansion, there were many trees in the garden, and the birds were chirping non-stop. Ma Xiaoshuai and his party harvested more than a dozen pheasants and chickadees in a short time. The guy came back with it.

Su Xiaoxiao was still sitting on the stone bench, the food had already been taken away, tea was placed on the stone bench, her eyes lit up when she saw a few people returning to ghosts with a full load, but she quickly covered it up, and instead poured tea for Ma Xiaoshuai and Murong Xiaowan , "Sir, please use it, there is no good tea at home..."

"Don't say that, plain water is fine too." Ma Xiaoshuai wiped off his sweat, took a cup of tea and drank it down.

"Teacher, let's get some food quickly."

Murong Xiaowan shouted excitedly holding the tits with blood in her hand.
