"Wow, Mom, is that you and Dad? They look so real." Doudou suddenly ran over, looking at the two paintings on the ground with sparkling eyes. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.
Gu Huai looked at the little rabbit on the ground. It looked lazy but a little stubborn, especially the scar on its face, which was so lifelike.
"No." Gu Huai said calmly, "This scar looks like a bug. It's not pretty at all."
The scar on his face looks very impressive, okay? How can it look like a little bug?!
"Who said it was a scar? It's clearly just a cute little bug."
Xie Yunjiao stomped on the ground a few times, and the scar on the rabbit's face turned into a beautiful butterfly, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly away.
Doudou was stunned, his mouth wide open. After a while, he realized, "Mommy, this is amazing! The little bug has turned into a butterfly."
"Yes, the little bugs on your father's face will gradually turn into butterflies and fly away." Xie Yunjiao said confidently.
She is studying herbs and will research prescriptions when the time comes. One day she will help him remove the scars on his face.
"Madam, do you dislike the scar on my face?"
Gu Huai's tone was flat and no emotion could be heard from it. Xie Yunjiao's heart tightened, and she wondered if what she said had hurt Gu Huai's self-esteem.
But she didn't mean it. She just thought it was a pity that Gu Huai was so handsome and had a scar on his face.
"No, of course I don't dislike you. I like you regardless of whether you have scars on your face or not." Xie Yunjiao explained hurriedly.
"Oh, you like it!" Gu Huai raised the corner of his mouth, feeling very happy.
"Yes, I like it..."
Xie Yunjiao suddenly realized what she had said, her face flushed, and she quickly slipped away: "Well, I'm going to make breakfast first."
She entered the kitchen and found two stools next to the stove.
Although simple, it looks very sturdy.
It's obvious with just your toes that this must have been done by Gu Huai!
I didn't expect that he would actually do these things, and do them so well.
He can also carve all kinds of lovely wood carvings. With his skillful hands, if he can develop in this field, he can make money.
She had to think about how to make good use of Gu Huai's advantage.
After breakfast, Gu Huai set out for the mountain.
Before leaving, Xie Yunjiao once again handed him a bamboo tube filled with spiritual spring water. Seeing his legs getting better day by day, she felt happy.
But strangely enough, when she woke up today, she didn't smell any bad odor on her body, and her skin didn't ooze out the terrible black oil.
She couldn't understand it either, as she had clearly drunk the spiritual spring water last night.
I just can't bear to drink too much.
Gu Huai went up the mountain, and she was not idle either. She started to make a fire and roast chestnuts.
Doudou sat on a small stool, helping Xie Yunjiao watch the fire while playing with the wooden pig in his hand.
"Mom, Daddy said he'd carve a horse for you when he has time."
Xie Yunjiao took a look at the pig wood carving in Doudou's hand and couldn't help but marvel at it. The painting on the kitchen floor was already in a mess.
How on earth had he managed to remember and carve it out?
His memory is so good.
After Xie Yunjiao fried the chestnuts, she sent Doudou to Aunt Tian's house and asked Aunt Tian to help take care of him.
Just like last time, she gave Aunt Tian a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Auntie Tian refused to take them and forced them back on Xie Yunjiao. "I heard from Doudou that you were going to sell these chestnuts, so I don't want them anymore. Keep them and sell them for more money."
"I feel embarrassed to bring Doudou here because of what you've done." Xie Yunjiao stuffed the chestnuts back into Aunt Tian's hands, "Just think of it as helping me taste it."
Xie Yunjiao put down the chestnuts and ran away.
Aunt Tian wanted to chase after him, but Doudou held her hand and said he had to go to the bathroom urgently.
Aunt Tian turned around and took Doudou to the toilet. She didn't notice that Doudou winked at Xie Yunjiao, made a face, and then the mother and daughter smiled at each other.
Xie Yunjiao, who had already walked far away, did not notice that Liu Miaohua was hiding not far away and secretly watching her and Doudou's interaction.
After Xie Yunjiao turned a corner and disappeared, Xie Miaohua walked out stealthily.
"Auntie Tian, what are you holding in your hand?"
Xie Miaohua stared at the paper bag in Aunt Tian's hand without blinking, wishing she could stare a hole in it so that she could see what was inside.
Aunt Tian didn't like Xie Miaohua. She was a rude and aggressive person, and was well-known in the village. Everyone would take a detour when they saw her, let alone take the initiative to talk to her.
"Nothing." Aunt Tian put the chestnuts back into the kitchen and closed the door.
Liu Miaohua curled her lips and muttered, "What good things can Xie Yunjiao give you?"
But she was really curious about what Xie Yunjiao was up to.
This morning when she went to the fields, she heard the villagers who came to the town to do business yesterday say that they saw Xie Yunjiao bought a large bag of rice that weighed a hundred pounds.
Xie Yunjiao bought cloth and five or six kilograms of sugar a few days ago. Although the sugar disappeared out of thin air later, she could swear that she was definitely not mistaken. She did see the sugar, otherwise Xie Yunjiao would not be so nervous.
When the family divided the property, they only gave Gu Huai a small amount of money, but she bought so many things.
Xie Yunjiao couldn't make money, so the only explanation was that Xie Yunjiao went to town every day to do business.
But no one knows what kind of business they are doing.
As long as she could figure out what Xie Yunjiao was selling and learn how to do the same, wouldn't she also be able to make a killing?!
Now her family lives a tight life because of her brother-in-law Gu An, and she hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
Now, whenever I think of meat, my mouth starts watering.
"Doudou, come here."
Liu Miaohua waved at Doudou, but Doudou hid behind Aunt Tian warily and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.
"What are you doing? You scared the child. Go away."
Aunt Tian drove Liu Miaohua away, and she took her granddaughters Niuniu and Doudou to weave bamboo baskets in the yard.
Liu Miaohua left angrily, and when one plan failed, she came up with another.
She is old and can't do heavy work, so she stays at home to take care of the children and cook.
When I have free time, I cut some bamboo strips to make various bamboo products to sell, which can also help supplement the family income.
Zhuangzhuang was holding a pair of chopsticks with malt sugar on them and was eating happily.
He deliberately walked up to Niu Niu who was playing near the bamboo fence, causing her to drool.
"Want to eat?" Zhuangzhuang asked in a low voice.
Niuniu swallowed hard and nodded: "I want to eat."
"Come out and I'll give it to you."
Niu Niu's eyes lit up and she ran out without caring about Dou Dou's dissuasion.
Seeing that Aunt Tian was busy, Doudou didn't call her but ran out on her own.
As soon as Doudou followed Niuniu out of the Tian family and arrived near Lao Gu's house, he was caught by Liu Miaohua.
Doudou struggled desperately in fear, but before he could say anything, Liu Miaohua blocked his mouth: "Don't scream, or I'll beat Niuniu to death."
