Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Don't be fooled by appearances

When Mrs. Xu came over with noodles again, Zhao Shuangxi had already found Zhao Xiaowu. He found Xiaowu with a tanned face and a basket on his back, and the pigweed had been stacked very high.

His thin cheeks were a bit slender, not like Zhao Yao, but very similar to Xu's undamaged half of his face.

"Xiao Wu is so old, he is a handsome boy. I am the eldest aunt, and he refused to come back with me at first. It is good for a child to be vigilant." Zhao Shuangxi grinned almost behind his ears, looking Looking at Zhao Xiaowu, he stretched out his hand to touch his head, but Zhao Xiaowu turned his head away from Zhao Shuangxi's hand.

He Qinmao stood up suddenly, sucked the noodles in his mouth, pointed at Zhao Xiaowu with the chopsticks that were still stained with noodle soup, "You, let my mother touch it, what's the matter, there is a piece of meat missing!"

The children's words made the thatched cottage cheer.

Zhao Xiaowu looked at this group of strangers, and saw kindness and love in their eyes, but when he thought of the shameless faces of Ge Shi, Zhao Guang and others before the word "relatives", his eyes turned cold again.

"Sit down and eat the noodles, your aunt bought them." Mrs. Xu pulled her son to the table, stuffed the chopsticks into his hands, and urged him to eat quickly.

The thatched hut was originally simple, so naturally there were not so many stools for them to sit on, and everyone ate standing up.

Everyone was sucking noodles, Mrs. Xu stood far away, Zhao Xiaowu came out holding his bowl, and said next to Mrs. Xu, "Mom, why don't you eat."

"My face... go and eat it." Xu pushed him again.

He Lanshan had already seen the mother and son's petty movements, so naturally Zhao Shuangxi also saw them.

"Sister-in-law, come to eat together after being busy for so long. Is there not enough noodles? Then I'll go buy some more!" Zhao Shuangxi said, putting down his chopsticks to buy noodles.

"Enough is enough, I'll bring it to the kitchen and eat it with you."

Xu shook her head helplessly, she stretched out her hand to touch the dark half of her face, no matter where she went, people would dislike her, but the aunt's family didn't dislike her at all, her heart was already sweeter than eating honey.

After a while, Mrs. Xu came over with a bowl of noodles, which looked the same as theirs except for the lack of fried eggs.

"Auntie, I want to eat your bowl." He Lanshan stared at her with shining eyes.

"Eat your own, good boy." Seeing He Lanshan's cuteness, Mrs. Xu wanted to reach out and touch her, but was afraid that she would take a step back holding her own bowl.

Unexpectedly, He Lanshan had already put down her own bowl, and tiptoed to grab Xu Shi's clothes, as if she insisted on changing the bowl with her.

Zhao Xiaowu frowned, stood in front of Xu, and stretched out his hand as if to hit He Lanshan, in fact to scare her.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing!" Zhao Yao shouted angrily.

This roar startled He Lanshan and shook her whole body.

When Xu saw it, she hurriedly stuffed the bowl in her hand to He Lanshan, "It's not enough to eat, master, don't scare the child."

Zhao Yao's eyes warned Zhao Xiaowu, and He Lanshan was satisfied with taking Xu's bowl, and gave Xu her own bowl, "Aunt, your bowl is full of vegetables, you must not be full, eat mine, I can’t finish it anyway when I’m young.”

"Hey!" Xu's eyes were filled with tears.

Zhao Xiaowu was also stunned. He thought that this cousin was well-dressed and doted on by so many people, and thought she wanted to grab Xu's noodles, but he didn't expect that she exchanged his own with Xu's.

He Lanshan took Xu's bowl and pulled it out. Sure enough, except for a few noodles on the top, the bottom was full of cabbage.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yao's eyes became hot. Seeing Xu's humble appearance, he said angrily, "You mother-in-law are all one family. You have the same blessings and the same difficulties. You can also give me a meal." Make it like this."

"I like to eat Chinese cabbage..." Xu said an obvious lie.

"It's good to eat more vegetables, you can grow taller, ah~" He Lanshan chewed the cabbage, squinting her eyes pretending to enjoy, the taste in her mouth reminded her of how she ate boiled cabbage when she lost weight in her previous life. Cabbage is not fragrant.

The three brothers He Qinfeng, He Qinzheng, and He Qinmao spontaneously picked up cabbage sticks from He Lanshan's bowl, and then each gave her some noodles, and He Lanshan had another small bowl of noodles.

"I, I also like to eat Chinese cabbage." Zhao Xiaowu was a little nervous because he had wrongly blamed He Lanshan. He also took a piece of Chinese cabbage from He Lanshan's bowl, and then gave her his fried egg.

"Okay, let's eat it, and the bowl will be full of your saliva." Zhao Shuangxi gave Zhao Xiaowu his fried eggs, urging the children to eat more.

After eating, Mrs. Xu went to clean up the dishes, and Zhao Yao and Zhao Shuangxi sat by the bed and started talking.

"Shuangxi, when was your clever little girl born? Why don't I remember that you sent someone home to announce the good news?"

He Lanshan was squatting on the threshold looking at the blue sky, she rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard this, and here she is again...

Zhao Shuangxi didn't hide it from Zhao Yao either, whether He Lanshan was Zhao Shuangxi's daughter or Zhao Sanmei's daughter, Zhao Yao was her own uncle, so she told the whole story.

"How did the third sister become like this?" Zhao Yao said sadly, and then he cursed angrily. The two younger sisters were almost brought up by Zhao Yao, so he was worried about his father's heart.

When He Lanshan was bored, a super big green grasshopper suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Cousin, gave it to me?" He Lanshan took the grasshopper and took a closer look at it by its hind legs. It was actually made of straw and looked lifelike.

"Hmm." Zhao Xiaowu rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

At this time, He Qinmao rushed over and looked at Zhao Xiaowu with hatred, "Are you trying to bully my stinky sister? You are not allowed to bully, but we are the only ones to bully!"

He still remembered that during the meal just now, Zhao Xiaowu made a gesture to beat him. He Lanshan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard his protective words.

"My cousin didn't want to hit me. Cousin Xiaowu gave it to me at this time. Do you want to play with it?" He Lanshan handed the grasshopper to He Qinmao. He Qinmao's eyes lit up when he saw the grasshopper, but he thought it was Zhao Xiaowu who gave it to him. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to play with it.

He Qinmao took away the grasshopper, and the light in Zhao Xiaowu's eyes dimmed.

"It took me a long time to do that!" After he finished speaking, he ran away dejectedly, and he didn't respond at all when He Lanshan called him, as if he couldn't hear him.

He Lanshan rubbed her head, it's too bad, it seems to have hurt a child's heart?

She couldn't find Zhao Xiaowu, so she asked He Jinyi for a few copper coins, then found a small shop in the village with He Qinfeng, bought some candy and came back to ask Zhao Xiaowu to make amends.

When they came back, He Jinyi had already pulled out the ox cart, the journey was so long that he had to leave early, otherwise it would be dangerous when it got dark.

"Auntie, this one is for my cousin. I think the grasshopper he gave me is a child's plaything for Maomao. Let him not be angry with me. I will make amends for him. Also, I think it will be done soon. When I meet you again, I like you very much."

He Lanshan's mouth was so small that even Xu was stunned. This child is really weird, like a little grown-up.There was a loving look on one side of her clear and beautiful face, "I made a note, thank you for Xiao Wu."

"Auntie, goodbye!"

"Ah."
