Chapter 11 The rabbit bumps into the thigh

Unexpectedly, Helian Jiao, who was drinking milk, suddenly started wailing at the top of her lungs, "Wah!!!"

"Boom—"

A sudden clap of thunder startled Li Chunhua.

Ma Xiulian immediately put down the rag and came over, asking anxiously and worriedly, "What's wrong? Why is our darling crying?"

Li Chunhua immediately lowered her head guiltily, "I must have choked from drinking too fast."

Helian Jiao glared at her accusingly, "Ahhh~"

Milk, this bad woman pinched me!

Unfortunately, she was too young to make a "accusing" expression on her face.

Anyway, her grandmother didn't notice.

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Ma Xiulian gently patted her back and coaxed her, "Sweetie, we're not in a hurry, drink slowly, okay?"

Helian Jiao could only channel her grief and anger into her appetite once again, and ferociously drank the milk.

Having narrowly escaped disaster, Li Chunhua dared not engage in any more underhanded tactics.

After finishing her milk, Chen Honghong took her little niece over and cuddled her.

Ma Xiulian took out a vegetable basket, put a few eggs and two bunches of greens in it, and said, "Come on, let's go to the educated youth settlement with Mom."

Chen Honghong asked, puzzled, "What are you going there for?"

Ma Xiulian said, "Let's ask Li Zhiqing to name our precious baby."

She had already found out that Li was the most educated among the educated youth, a fact even the brigade leader acknowledged.

Hearing this, Chen Honghong said with a hint of jealousy, "Mom, you never cared about me this much when I was a child."

Ma Xiulian rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Back then, it was already a miracle that we were able to raise you."

Chen Honghong thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true."

Back when people couldn't afford to eat, countless families sold their daughters, but her parents, no matter how hungry they were, never considered selling their daughter to get food.

So the mother and daughter, each carrying a basket and the other holding Helian Jiao, went to the educated youth settlement, where they were surrounded by a group of female educated youth.

"Oh my, Aunt Chen, your granddaughter is so beautiful!"

"Her eyes are so big, as dark and bright as black grapes."

"Her little face is chubby, white and tender, just as cute as a white dough ball."

Even the male educated youth couldn't help but come over for a look, and then they couldn't take their eyes off it.

This girl is so beautiful and adorable!

Helian Jiao remained calm and let them watch, since it wouldn't hurt her to eat anything.

Hearing their words, Ma Xiulian was even happier than if she had received praise herself, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Li Zhiqing quickly came up with a name, "A beautiful girl is often called Chen Jiao, and her nickname can be Jiao Jiao."

"Chen Jiao? Jiao Jiao."

Ma Xiulian repeated the name to herself twice, finding it increasingly pleasing to the ear. She clapped her hands excitedly, exclaiming, "What a wonderful name! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Helian Jiao also agreed with a soft "Ah," her name was Jiao Jiao.

Then Ma Xiulian insisted on leaving the gifts behind and slowly walked back with her granddaughter in her arms.

Summer nights aren't as hot as daytime nights, and a little breeze won't chill the children.

As she was walking, a white shadow suddenly crashed straight into Ma Xiulian's leg.

The force was so great that even Ma Xiulian, who was used to farm work and had a strong physique, staggered.

Ma Xiulian was instantly enraged, and kicked the white figure a meter away, yelling, "What the hell dares to bump into me?!"

She was still holding her baby!

What if the child gets jostled around?!

Chen Honghong, being young and having good eyesight, immediately exclaimed in surprise upon taking a closer look: "Mom, it's a wild rabbit!"

As he spoke, he skipped over and picked up the still dazed wild rabbit.
