Dressed as the vicious stepmother of the villains

Chapter 28 The Second Marriage
Yesterday's wontons were sold out in less than an hour, and today Qiao Lian increased the quantity as appropriate.

But there are not too many, after all, eating too many delicacies from mountains and seas is boring, not to mention this kind of snacks.

"Mom, shall we still have wontons for breakfast today?" Gu Ge finished feeding Fatty, squatting in front of Qiao Lianlian, obediently watching her make wontons.

"Don't eat." Qiao Lian squeezed both hands, threw a wonton into the bamboo dustpan, and picked up a piece of dough in an instant, with unbelievable dexterity, "I'm eating hand-rolled noodles today. Que'er has already cooked them. Immediately." You can eat it."

Gu Ge happily covered his mouth, his eyes rolled around.

She loves this when she is happy, with a little shyness and a little mischievousness.

Qiao repeatedly raised the corners of his mouth.

Sometimes people's emotions are very simple. When they see the people they care about are happy, they will subconsciously improve their mood.

"It's time to eat."

Gu Que yelled in the kitchen after cooking the noodles.

Qiao Lianlian just squeezed the last wonton and threw it into the bamboo dustpan. After wiping his hands with his apron, he turned and went into the kitchen.

The noodles just out of the pot were too hot, and she didn't allow the children to serve them, and she didn't allow them to serve them.

It's no big deal if it gets hot.

The children are also sensible. When they saw that they couldn't help, they went to move the table and move the benches, washed the chopsticks and set them up.

After Qiao put all six bowls away again and again, and shouted "Dinner is ready", several young people came out in a file, sat down in a row, and ate their heads.

The hand-rolled noodles are very strong and served with some small green vegetables. Even if there is no fish or meat, the children can eat with happiness.

After dinner, I cleaned up the house briefly, and then went out to sell wontons again.

This time, no one came to pick them up. Fortunately, Qiao Lianlian asked Gu Cheng to go to Uncle Niu's house last night, and Uncle Niu agreed to send their mothers there.

At this moment, Uncle Niu was already waiting outside the old house.

Seeing Qiao repeatedly moving the table away, he hurried forward to take it, "Little Qiao, why are you selling wontons? It's tiring to carry a lot of things back and forth. Can you do it alone?"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Qiao repeatedly loaded the big iron pot onto the donkey cart, and said with a smile, "The children have no father, and I'm the only mother, so what can I do if I don't work hard."

Qiao Lianlian was willing to swear with five thunderbolts, but she just said it casually, not complaining that there is no man, being alone is too lonely, etc.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Niu nodded along, and asked her in a very low voice, "Xiao Qiao, Gu Laosan has been gone for so long, have you ever thought about... what to do in the future?"

The figure of Qiao Lianlian holding the bamboo dustpan froze in place.

After a long time, she figured out the appropriate language, "What can I do, of course, raise the children well, and don't think about anything else."

This is the truth.

It is also the most suitable words for widowed women under the shackles of this era.

Qiao Lianlian couldn't help being intoxicated by his witty response.

But Uncle Niu thought she was being shy, and quickly said, "It's not that there have been remarriages in our village. Besides, everyone knows about your situation. You are a poor child. You haven't even seen your husband-in-law before..."

Qiao's eyelids twitched twice.

She found that Uncle Niu was really pitying her and trying to help her.

Although she doesn't need this kind of help.

"Uncle Niu." Qiao Lianlian said as tactfully as possible, "I can't leave these five children behind, and no man can accept five children who are not his own, so I don't think about anything."

"This way, it's good for everyone."

After she finished speaking softly, she carried the things and sent them to the bullock cart.

Uncle Liu Niu looked at her with distressed expression and sighed.

There were also a few children who eavesdropped with their ears open and let out a long breath.

In the past, they hoped that their stepmother would leave and leave them sooner.

Now they hope that the stepmother will never leave them, never, ever.

But, will she really not leave?
A few small ones didn't think of such a deep level, but the two big ones thought of it at the same time.

Gu Cheng was still able to stabilize his emotions, but Gu Que was still out of his mind. When he arrived in Xiyang Town, he was still out of his mind when setting up the tables and chairs, and almost tripped over a small stool.

"Mae'er, what's the matter?" Qiao Lianlian rubbed her nose a little, and said with a smile, "Is it because I didn't eat enough for breakfast, or did I want to eat meat for lunch?"

"It's okay mother, I'm not hungry." Gu Que smiled to cover it up.

But how can an eight-year-old girl be better than a 30-year-old adult woman.

Qiao Lian could tell at a glance that the child was sensitive again.

Commonly known as, think too much.

She didn't open it directly, but said slowly while serving wontons to the guests, "Quieer, will you deny my mother in the future?"

Gu Que immediately said, "How is it possible, mother is so good, you will always be my mother for the rest of your life."

"That's it, no matter where you marry or where you live, I will still be your mother, and you will always have a place in this family." Qiao rubbed the girl's head again and again, "You will always be there, too." It’s your mother’s little padded jacket, unless you don’t want your mother anymore.”

"It must be impossible." Gu Que hurriedly said.

Mother is so good, she will not want it.

"That's it." Qiao Lian painted her face again and again until she turned into a cat's face before laughing heartily.

The eldest girl pursed her lips.

Although the mother's words could not solve the worries in her heart, they finally gave her some comfort.

At least, Mother will never want her.

She is content.

Gu Que's movements returned to the dexterity of the past, and Gu Cheng who was beside him also calmed down.

Qiao Lian saw it again and again, and wanted to laugh, but held back.

Well, let's save some face for the eldest son.

The mothers continued to be busy, Gu Que put the tables and chairs away, and Gu Cheng took a rag to wipe off the dust, trying to make the small stall look cleaner.

Not too long ago, today's No.1 customer came to the stall and asked for two bowls by name.

Qiao Lianlian picked up the wontons and threw them into the pot, boiled them for a while, strained them out with a large strainer, and put them into the prepared soup.

"All right."

Generally, the guests pay the money and find a place to eat by themselves with the bowl.

But the guest asked with a flattering smile, "Little lady, can I take this bowl away and bring it to you in a while."

Qiao Lian raised his eyelids and took a look, "Take the bowl away and pay another ten cents, and return the bowl to get the money back."

It's like a deposit.

Without the slightest hesitation, the guest put down the forty wen, and ran away with two bowls in his hand, not afraid of being scalded.

"Mother, why did this person take our bowl away?" Gu Que didn't know why, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Qiao smiled again and again, and his subordinates kept on saying, "It should be bought for others to eat."

"That's it." Gu Que didn't doubt that he was there, and went to work on other things.

Only then did Qiao Lianlian stare at the man's gray back, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he calmed down quickly.
