"Why are you being so polite to me?"
Lin Shuang squatted down and touched Xiao Ce's head.
Xiao Ce glanced at Xiao Yi, then followed Lin Shuang to help with the work.
"Mom, um, I want to eat bread." Xiao Jingyu hugged Lin Shuang's neck and acted coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll get it for you." Lin Shuang scratched Xiao Jingyu's nose. This child is really getting better and better at acting like a spoiled child.
Lin Shuang brought some over, two smaller loaves for each person.
Lin Shuang ignored them and went to pick vegetables and cook.
The children were eating quietly. After Xiao Jingyu finished one, he wrapped the other one in cloth and secretly put it into his sleeve.
Ran to the yard. "Mom, I'm done eating. I want to find some rocks to play with for a while."
Lin Shuang took a curious look at it, wondering how quickly it had been eaten. But thinking back, Xiao Jingyu always ate very quickly, she didn't doubt it.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road, don't be too late, I'm just about to cook."
"Okay, Mom." Xiao Jingyu ran out immediately.
Xiao Ce knew that his third brother wanted to give the food to Shi Tou. After all, Shi Tou used to share his food with Jing Yu.
Xiao Jingyu trotted quickly all the way to the village chief's house.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm looking for some stones to play with." Tiantian shouted.
"Hey, Shitou, come out quickly, Jingyu is here to play with you."
When Shi Tou heard this, he ran out.
"Jingyu, where are we going to play?"
Jing Yu glanced around secretly, "Let's go to your room, I brought you something good."
Shi Tou was startled, nodded in surprise, and pulled Xiao Jingyu directly to his room.
"Jingyu, what is it?" Shitou looked at Xiao Jingyu expectantly, his eyes shining.
"Close your eyes and open your mouth."
"Okay." Although I don't know why Jing Yu did this, it's right to listen to him.
Xiao Jingyu did this because he took out the bread without his mother's permission, so naturally he couldn't let others see it. But he wanted to give it to Shitou, so he could only come up with this method.
Xiao Jingyu tore the bread into pieces. "You can't open your eyes, understand? Otherwise I will ignore you."
Shitou said anxiously: "Jingyu, I won't open my eyes, don't worry."
"Open your mouth."
The stone was fed piece by piece, and no matter how confused it was, it did not make a sound of surprise when it ate.
After they finished eating, Xiao Jingyu said, "Open your eyes."
As soon as Shi Tou opened his eyes, he asked Xiao Jingyu curiously.
"Jingyu, what did you just give me to eat? It's so delicious. I've never eaten anything like it before."
"You're given it to eat. Just take it and don't ask so many questions."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask. Jingyu, you are so nice to me."
"Who told you to always give me food in the past?" Xiao Jingyu turned his head away proudly.
"Hey, that's because you're my best brother."
"Just for you to know. Don't tell anyone about the food I give you in the future."
"I know, Jingyu."
Xiao Jingyu was satisfied. The two played for a while. Xiao Jingyu remembered his mother's request to go home early, so he told Shitou that they would play again next time.
After returning home, Lin Shuang had already started cooking.
After lunch, Lin Shuang went to Aunt Li's house.
"Aunt Li, Uncle De, I have something to tell you. I'm going to buy a small shop soon. Then I can just use bowls and chopsticks instead of bamboo tubes."
"It's okay, don't tell us anymore." Aunt Li was sad for a while, but she said it was okay.
"Aunt Li, after I open a shop in town, I will return to the village. It's not like I won't come back.
I will definitely be too busy by then, so I thought of asking Aunt Li for help."
"Really? I can really do it?" Aunt Li was so surprised that her lips trembled slightly.
"Of course, when you come back every day, you come back with me."
"Lin Shuang, I really don't know how to thank you. Why did you help me so much?"
"Aunt Li, I just gave you a chance. As for the results, it's up to you to work hard."
"Lin Shuang, don't worry, Auntie won't be lazy and will do her best."
Li Qiuping excitedly held Lin Shuang's hand, as she was the benefactor of her family.
"Aunt Li, I believe in you. Life will get better and better. In a couple of days, Uncle De will be able to come out and see us."
"Yes, after you talked about him yesterday, he's not as depressed as before. He eats more and has taken the pills you gave him. He's in better spirits now."
"That's good. Things will get better and better in the future."
After Lin Shuang said this, she went back.
When I was at home in the afternoon, I saw that there were not many ice jelly seeds left.
This ice powder seed is the seed inside the lantern fruit, and should be found in the mountains.
Otherwise, take a few kids up the mountain to pick these lantern fruits.
"Come here, guys."
As soon as the cubs heard this, they came to Lin Shuang's side.
"Mom, what are you calling us for?" Xiao Jingyu was just a clingy little baby.
"There are not many ice jelly seeds left to make ice jelly. Let's go to the mountain to have a look."
"Okay, Mom, shall we go to the mountain now?"
"Well, I have nothing to do now anyway."
"Stepmother, I'll go get the backpacks." Upon hearing that, Xiao Ce went to the utility room and got a few small backpacks and a slightly larger one.
Lin Shuang put straw hats on the children and wrapped herself tightly, as there were many insects on the mountain.
Several people went up the mountain happily.
Xiao Jingyu ran ahead all the way.
“Ouch~”
Suddenly a howling sound scared the cubs.
"Stepmother, there's a wolf." Xiao Nanxin grabbed Lin Shuang's sleeve in panic, tears quickly filling his eyes.
"Don't be afraid." Lin Shuang had a serious look on her face and gently patted Xiao Nanxin on the back.
"Stand behind me and don't run around." Lin Shuang shouted to the kids.
I pay attention to every little thing.
Xiao Nanxin and Xiao Jingyu hugged Lin Shuang tightly. They were only five years old and had never seen a wolf. They only knew that wolves eat people.
Xiao Ce's face was full of worry, and he didn't know what to do.
Although the stepmother is very strong, if a wolf appears, it means there is a pack of wolves nearby. Wolves live in groups. If hundreds of wolves appear together, not only they will be in danger, but the entire village will also be in danger.
"Stepmother~" Xiao Ce was a little scared. What if they all died here?
"What are you afraid of? I'm very strong. Nothing will happen to me. Besides, I didn't see any wolves."
As soon as Lin Shuang finished speaking, a wolf walked out from the grass that was taller than a human. Its fur was smooth and shiny, and it had the aura of a king.
"Why are you stopping me?" Lin Shuang asked, looking directly into the wolf king's eyes.
