Chapter 253 This Tree Is Mine

"What's wrong with her?" Su Ranran asked curiously.

On the first day of dealing with each other, Jin Hongying left Su Ranran with the impression that she was shameless and liked to take advantage of others.

How could a person like this be so scared just by seeing her?

"Do you still remember the sparring between your man and Hong Lang that day?"

Seeing that she really didn't know, Xie Fangshu reminded her.

Of course Su Ranran remembered it. She was also at the scene and saw with her own eyes that Shen He beat Hong Lang so badly that his face was bruised and swollen.

But…

"What does this have to do with Jin Hongying?"

Xie Fangshu's mouth twitched, "She's afraid that your man will challenge her son."

Who in the entire family compound doesn’t know how much Jin Hongying loves her son?

Su Ranran: …

Su Ranran didn't expect that a sparring match with her man could have such a shocking effect. She was a little surprised, but more relieved.

She didn't want to deal with these weirdos.

After saying this, Xie Fangxia continued to look for firewood.

But little Yanyan was determined to come down and play by herself and refused to let her mother carry her on her back anymore.

There was no other choice, Su Ranran could only untie him and put him on a flat piece of ground.

Knowing that he could understand, Su Ranran told him not to run around.

Little Yanyan blinked her big eyes, looked at her, and finally nodded.

The military wives were all amazed.

"Ranran, your child is too smart, isn't he?"

I don’t know if it’s because the nutrition is not enough or the adults are too busy to teach the children these days, but most children this young don’t know anything.

How could they not be surprised when they saw that little Yanyan could understand what adults said when she was less than one year old?

Su Ranran smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I talk to them more often, so they can understand a little bit?"

But the military wives didn't believe it at all. They kept chatting with little Yanyan while picking up firewood.

The kid doesn't like to talk, and will only reply with one or two words when asked too many questions.

But even so, military wives still love him very much.

I just wish this well-behaved and smart child was my own.

Seeing that Xiao Yanyan was able to go out and play, Xiao Zhaozhao was unhappy.

"Come down~"

She pointed at her brother and struggled hard with her two chubby legs.

Xie Fangshu was so frustrated by her that she couldn't do anything.

Seeing this, Su Ranran had no choice but to untie her.

"Erga, help auntie keep an eye on the younger brothers and sisters. If they run around, call the adults. Got it?"

Xie Fangshu told her son.

Erga nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my sister."

He didn't mention little Yanyan who was standing beside him at all.

Xie Fangshu was both angry and amused. She tapped his head and said, "And there's your younger brother."

"Auntie, let me help you look after them." Zhou Yujuan's eldest daughter Xixi volunteered.

Xixi is already eight years old. At that age when children generally mature, she can already help adults do a lot of things.

With her watching over her, Su Ranran felt relieved.

"Then thank you first." As she said that, she took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and gave them to Xixi, asking her to share them with the other children.

The children were delighted to see the fruit candies.

Fenfen patted her chest and promised that she would help her take good care of her younger siblings.

Seeing how much she was spending, the wives of the soldiers could not help but scold her, "You are just taking care of a child, why do you need to give them candy? Save this candy for Yanyan and Zhaozhao when they grow up."

Su Ranran couldn't stop laughing.

"When they grow up, this candy will expire. Don't try to get along with them. I might have to bother them a lot in the future!"

"I'm willing to help Aunt Su." Maomao said first.

"And me, even if I don't have candy, I will still look after my sister for Aunt Su." Erga was not willing to be outdone.

The military wives felt both angry and amused when they saw their own children competing with each other to show their diligence.

"I haven't seen you guys be so diligent even at home!"

"That's right. You don't know. My Maomao is like a big boss at home. He won't even respond when you call him."

The fatal complaint from their mother made the children feel extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, they just complained a few words and let the children go.

While picking firewood, Su Ranran would look up at her two babies from time to time.

Although Xiao Zhaozhao walks slowly, she is a clean girl.

I've been put down for such a long time, and I didn't sit on the ground. When I got tired of standing, I squatted down and watched my brothers and sisters play games.

Little Yanyan had already picked up a stick and was poking at the ground, but no one knew what he was poking at.

Xixi is still very reliable. When someone said she would help look after her younger siblings, she really did it seriously.

His eyes never left Xiao Zhaozhao and Xiao Yanyan.

When little Zhaozhao wanted to get up, she reached out to help her.

Erga also stood beside Xiao Zhaozhao and didn't play games with the others.

Su Ranran felt relieved to see that the two little ones were well taken care of.

I thought that when I got back, I would make some egg cakes for them.

Firewood is easy to find in this season, and Su Ranran soon found a bundle.

Other military wives who were familiar with the process picked up more.

Su Ranran didn't collect much firewood when she was on the island, as it was basically all collected by Shen He.

However, when she was sent to the Shuiqiao Brigade, she did a lot of this kind of work, and she went out to work every day on the island, so her movements were very efficient.

When the others saw that Su Ranran looked cute but worked just as hard as they did, no one doubted anymore that the saline-alkaline rice was not grown by her.

You can tell at a glance whether someone is a working person or not.

She is simply naturally beautiful and can't get tanned even if she works hard.

Su Ranran had no idea what the military wives were thinking. At this moment, she was chopping a fallen tree with all her might.

The trunk of the tree is as thick as a thigh, and you can roast it for several meals when you take it home.

Su Ranran's machete was very sharp, and she cut down the tree in a short while.

Just as she was about to pull the tree out, Fang Zhirou's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Sister Su, I left this tree here on purpose, why did you cut it down?"

As she spoke, she had already walked up to Su Ranran.

Su Ranran was just chopping down a tree, but she didn't expect that a Cheng Yaojin would appear. She was speechless for a moment.

"You said this tree is yours?"

Fang Zhirou looked at Su Ranran's face, which was so delicate that not a single pore could be seen, in the sunlight, and couldn't help feeling a little sour.

Lowering her eyes, she pointed to a small square on the tree trunk.

"I saw this tree first and I marked it."

Su Ranran: …

Other military wives heard the noise and came over.

Looking at the square on the tree trunk that was not much bigger than a fingernail, everyone was speechless.

"I've been here for a long time, and this is the first time I've heard that you can mark the firewood you pick up."

Xie Fangshu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She had long disliked this new military wife, who had a pretentious look and only men fell for her.

"That's right. Next time I mark all the trees here, does that mean that all the firewood in this area belongs to us?"

After being squeezed by the military wives, Fang Zhirou's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked extremely aggrieved.
