Six-Year-Old Child, Baojiao, is Busy with Kingdom-Building

  Chapter 43 Mu Cheng

  Liu Zhihua took a look at Mu Cheng, didn't know him at all, and saw that his pimple-like face seemed to be suffering from some kind of disease, frowned and rushed to hug Jiaojiao, and checked him worriedly.

  Jiaojiao obediently hugged her mother and said: "Jiaojiao is fine, this big brother is talking to my mother."

  Hearing that Guaibao called Big Brother, Liu Zhihua frowned, and said seriously to this unknown boy: "Where did you come from, little liar, I have never seen you before, when did you become your aunt."

  Mu Cheng blushed and was full of nervousness. Looking at the woman with a big waist in front of him, he also wondered if he had found the wrong person.

   Seeing him like this, Liu Zhihua waved her hand and said, "I don't know you, you need to find your aunt elsewhere."

   "Yes, my mother asked to find a relative named Liu Zhihua, and I heard from my younger brother and sister that you are." Mu Cheng explained in a low voice.

  Liu Zhihua was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him carefully again, but still had no impression.

  Jiaojiao softly said: "Big brother, where is your portrait?"

   "Oh, yes! Portrait."

   As he spoke, Mu Cheng hurriedly took out the portrait and a bunch of red tassels from his arms, and hurriedly explained: "My mother's name is Liu Xiuhua, and she lives in Xiaohe Village. My mother told me to bring these tassels to find my aunt."

  Hearing the familiar name, Liu Zhihua glanced at the string of familiar tassels, it was Grandma's handicraft.

  Liu Zhihua took the painting and looked at it, and suddenly recalled her unmarried appearance. This painting was drawn by a painter who met a painter when she and Xiuhua went to the town to sell wild goods.

  Liu Xiuhua is a child of grandma's mother's family. When she was young, her parents went out to the mountain and collapsed and died. She has been an orphan since then, and her life is as miserable as hers.

Grandma saw her as pitiful, so she brought her back and raised her for two years. During the two years, the two sisters got along very well, and then they were taken away by their relatives. Since then, there has been no news, and she has never appeared without Grandma. Liu Zhihua was originally an orphan. After getting married, the relatives on the Liu family's side gradually became unfamiliar, and they have not been in touch with each other these years.

  So hearing this name, Liu Zhihua still felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Sighing and looking at Mu Cheng, his face became softer and he said, "I am, why did your mother ask you to come?"

  Mu Cheng was overjoyed when he heard that, sobbing and explaining: "Auntie, my name is Mu Cheng, our family has undergone great changes, if it is not a last resort, my mother will not let me disturb you, I, our family really have no choice."

   After saying that, Mu Cheng lowered his head while clenching his fists in shame, his eyes were red with tears.

  The relatives in the family avoided him, and my mother had no choice but to let him come here.

  When Liu Zhihua heard this, the joy that had just risen in her heart subsided a little, and there was a little more emotion in her eyes.

  At the beginning, she left without hearing from her. Grandma passed away and never came back. She hadn’t contacted her for more than ten years. She came to her suddenly to borrow money.

Thinking of the original friendship, Liu Zhihua sighed and pointed to the earthen house behind her, and said to Mu Cheng: "Since you call me aunt, then I will tell the truth, look at the place where we live, if there is too much money, I will take it away." not come out."

  Mu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he was only busy identifying people, and didn't notice the situation at the aunt's house.

  He looked up and saw four dilapidated yellow mud houses. Although the yard was clean and tidy, it was very desolate and old.

   There are also the clothes worn by the aunt, the worn linen shirt with white fringe, the trouser legs are full of patches, and the shoes are the straw sandals that peasants often wear.

  Mu Cheng's tears came up in an instant, he squeezed his fist and felt his face was flushed, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Auntie, I, I didn't see it, I'm sorry."

   After finishing speaking, Mu Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Zhihua grabbed him.

  Liu Zhihua has always been a knife-mouthed and bean-curd heart. Seeing that the child is dressed in rags, this behavior is not one of those slapstick, so she said softly: "Xiaohe Village is a long way from here, let's go to the house and drink some water."

  Mu Cheng didn't drink any water all the way, his mouth was chapped and peeled off. Hearing that his throat was getting dry and sore, he hesitated and nodded.

   entered the house,

  Liu Zhihua put down Jiaojiao in her arms and went to the kitchen to pour water for Mu Cheng.

  In the room, Mu Cheng was sitting in a somewhat cautious posture, looking at the dilapidated house with bright eyes, and feeling even more guilty in his heart, he shouldn't have come because his aunt's life was so miserable.

  Jiaojiao looked eagerly at the sleeping kitten in Mu Cheng's arms, and Bai Miaomiao thought, this big brother just needs money, so why don't she buy it with him.

  Jiaojiao was thinking about what to say, when suddenly Mu Cheng got up and handed over the little milk cat in his arms, hiding his face for fear of scaring his sister, and said, "Sister, I'll give it to you."

  Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him with **** eyes: "Big brother?"

  Mu Cheng explained in a low voice: "This is the cub of my cat. My mother said that my aunt likes cats, so she specially asked me to bring them. It was originally for your family."

  Jiaojiao was very happy, hugging the sleeping cat and looking left and right.

  At the door, Liu Zhihua, holding a bowl of water, sighed when he saw this scene.

   It's hard for Xiuhua to remember her hobbies, but after all these years of training, she has long since stopped thinking about these cats and dogs. She just eats more food and doesn't have so much leisure time to play with them.

  Xiao Li saw the mother standing at the door with sharp eyes, touched her stomach and said pitifully, "Mother, I'm so hungry."

  Liu Zhihua walked in and sighed: "I'm hungry every day, sweet potatoes and vegetables have been warmed up in the kitchen, and they will be ready in a while."

  Xiao Li rubbed his belly and nodded: "Oh."

  Liu Zhihua walked in, passed the water to Mu Cheng, and said, "Drink."

  In case he drank in a hurry and choked, some fried wheat was sprinkled on it.

  Mu Cheng quickly wiped his hands and took it. Seeing the fried wheat on it, his heart warmed, and he quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, auntie."

   "Sit down and talk. Let's go after lunch today. After drinking water, talk to Auntie about your mother."

  Speaking, Liu Zhihua went to the mahogany cabinet to grab a handful of Jiaojiao snacks, walked over and put them in Mu Cheng's hand.

   "Okay, thank you, auntie." Mu Cheng hurriedly thanked, but he didn't touch the snacks at all. Instead, he held the big bowl, blew on the wheat floating on it, and began to drink in small sips.

  Liu Zhihua glanced at him, then at her baby boy, and the little white cat in her arms, and asked with a smile, "Jiaojiao likes this cat?"

   "Yes, I like it." The delicate white ball-like face smiled, hugging the sleeping kitten and smoothing its fur, the kitten is really soft.

  Liu Zhihua smiled upon seeing this, stroked her daughter's hair, and said, "Since it's your Aunt Xiuhua's wish, then we'll stay and play with you."

  Jiaojiao nodded happily, hugged Mao'er and Mu Cheng and said, "Thank you brother ~ and thank you Aunt Xiuhua."

  Mu Cheng, who was drinking water, immediately put down the bowl when he heard it, and hurriedly replied: "As long as my sister likes it."

He also breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his aunt was not there to make him feel alienated, he put the bowl aside after drinking, wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and apologized like a little adult: "Auntie, I was reckless today, I Mother hasn't seen you for more than ten years, and she doesn't know your situation, so she came here rashly."
