Chapter 111 111 A Sense of Responsibility
Su Xiao frowned upon hearing this, and said incredulously, "Really? Is she that irresponsible?"
"Mmm." Sweetie pouted and nodded. "Sister, I'll tell you a secret, Aunt Wang is really mean. Next time you run into her, you must stay far away from her."
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Oh, how did she become bad?"
“She stole the eggs herself and then framed my brother. My brother would never stoop to stealing eggs. He’s very capable; he can hunt pheasants in the mountains. The wild eggs and bird eggs he collects are enough for us to eat, so he would never steal them…” Sweetie said angrily, looking at her stubbornly. “Anyway, she’s just bad.”
Su Xiao was speechless. "Oh, I see. Thanks for reminding me, Sweetie."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket, "A thank you gift for you."
"No, I can't take it." Sweetie refused with a stern face. "I've already taken the candy. My brother said that one shouldn't be greedy."
Su Xiaowei was stunned. Thinking of the man from earlier, she was surprised that he looked so rugged but was so thoughtful. It was truly admirable that such a group of people could raise Tianniu to be so kind and lovely in such an environment.
"Your brother's name is Tian Sheng? So your name is Tian Niu? I thought it was sweet and sour."
"It's sweet in a sour and sweet way. My full name is Tian Tian, and my nickname is Tian Niu."
Sweetie seems to really like the word "sweet," as she speaks it much louder.
Your surname is Tian?
Su Xiao couldn't help but think of the educated youth compound, which used to be the Tian family's residence. Could it be that she and her brother were descendants of the Tian family?
What about their other relatives?
Su Xiao felt a lump in her throat and quickly shook her head to stop thinking about it.
Su Xiao unwrapped the fruit candy and said, "Open your mouth."
"Huh?" Sweetie was slightly taken aback.
In that instant, she felt something stuffed into her mouth; it tasted sweet, and she immediately knew it was candy.
With a candy in her mouth and her face slightly flushed, she called out coquettishly, "Sister."
Su Xiao smiled but remained silent.
Since she had already eaten it, there was nothing she could do. And so, Sweetie worked even harder.
Su Xiao felt helpless, but she grew to like this well-behaved and sensible little girl even more.
The eggs were stacked neatly and the boxes were sealed. Because they were arranged neatly, the quantity was easy to calculate. Soon, all the boxes of eggs were ready.
She usually collects twice in the morning, and without stopping, she started the second round.
After everything was done, she checked the time and quickly said goodbye to Tianniu, "Tianniu, I have to go back to the educated youth compound to cook. I'll come back this afternoon."
"Okay, sister, I'll wait for you."
Su Xiao rushed back in a hurry, when she suddenly saw someone walking towards her on a path not far away.
Dressed in white shirt and black trousers, with an upright posture, even though his clothes were inevitably stained with dirt and black spots, it did not diminish his noble air in the slightest.
"Why are you here?" Su Xiao took a few steps forward and stopped three steps away from him.
"I came to pick you up. Are you alright?" Shang Ziming carefully looked her up and down, making sure she was unharmed before turning his gaze away.
"I'm fine, I just forgot to check the time while I was working," Su Xiao said apologetically. "I'll definitely pay attention next time. Let's hurry up, we're probably going to be late for lunch today."
"No rush, Haozi is already working on it." Shang Ziming remained unhurried.
Su Xiao, however, felt embarrassed and said, "Let's hurry up, I was supposed to be the head chef today."
Shang Ziming watched her hurried figure, sighed helplessly, glanced at the row of low houses again, and then turned to leave.
