When I got home, it was time for dinner.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Wang Fengmei called to her.
"Oh, thanks, mom."
Xu Jiaojiao put down the bucket, washed her hands with Erni, and went into the kitchen.
As soon as they entered, Xu Jiaojiao pulled Erni to sit next to her.
Sure enough, as soon as the meal was ready, Yaohu started to ask for white porridge.
Xu Jiaojiao has no good feelings towards such a selfish and naughty child.
Why should others give in to him just because he wants to eat?
Don’t others want to eat plain porridge?
Seeing that Liu Zhaodi was about to take away Erni's porridge again, Xu Jiaojiao reached out to stop her.
"Sister-in-law, it's not good to be so partial, right? They say that the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, and your daughter came out of your belly, right?"
As soon as Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, before Liu Zhaodi said anything, Erni pulled her clothes under the table.
When I turned around, I met a pair of eyes that were filled with fear and pleading.
"Why does the little girl eat so well? She will be someone else's when she grows up."
Liu Zhaodi didn't care.
In her opinion, Yaohu is the only one who can take care of her in her old age.
Naturally, she has to take more care.
"That's what you said, but how do you know that you can't rely on your daughter when you get old? Haven't you seen the deaf lady in the team?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi's face changed.
Grandma Along gave birth to five sons and one daughter, but when she got old, she could not rely on any of her sons.
If it weren't for my daughter giving me stuttering, I would have died long ago.
Although my daughter didn't marry well, her son-in-law had no parents and was a kind man, so he took her in and raised her.
Who in the team didn’t sigh?
If it weren't for this daughter, she would have frozen to death last winter.
Even so, when he was young, he didn't like this girl.
She did all the dirty and tiring work.
"Eat if you can, get out if you can't."
Suddenly, Qin Sheng slammed the chopsticks on the table, making a "bang" sound.
Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but shrink back, and she withdrew her hand quietly without daring to say a word.
Yaohu seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right and didn't dare to make any more noise.
He lowered his head and ate the porridge listlessly.
The atmosphere at the table was a bit weird, and Erni was so scared that she didn't dare to pick up the bowl.
Xu Jiaojiao patted her on the back to comfort her.
"Eat quickly."
Erni looked at her father, then at her Third Aunt, and finally lowered her head and started eating.
"Jiaojiao is right. The palms and backs of your hands are made of flesh. Don't go too far. Be careful that they won't come to see you when you get old."
Wang Fengmei took a mouthful of porridge and said slowly.
The voice was neither loud nor soft, but no one present dared to say a word.
The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
Only Xu Jiaojiao and the children seemed unaffected and ate their meal mouthful by mouthful.
Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from the door.
"Third brother is back? Come and have dinner." Wang Fengmei greeted him with a smile.
The atmosphere then relaxed.
Qin Chao also greeted him, and the children followed suit and called their uncle to come for dinner.
Only Xu Jiaojiao acted as if she didn't see anything and continued eating.
After a pause, Qin Shuo walked to the only empty seat.
There was a natural refrigerator sitting next to her, and Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but frown.
Suddenly, the pumpkin in my mouth felt tasteless.
The couple didn't say anything and just ate their own meal.
How could Wang Fengmei not see the potential for a lawsuit?
But it was no use for her to be anxious. She sighed, buried her head in her meal, and no longer cared about them.
Dinner was simple, still sweet potato porridge, a green vegetable and a pumpkin.
In this way, the food is already better than many people in the team.
In the afternoon, Xu Jiaojiao ate an egg, a bunch of grasshoppers, and a bowl of porridge. It was the first time she felt full since she came here.
Wash your own bowl and quickly get a bucket to take a bath.
I’m afraid I’ll have to queue if I’m late.
And there was a little tail behind her, which followed her wherever she went.
Even when taking a shower, she waited outside the door.
This was not the first time that someone had relied on her wholeheartedly, but Xu Jiaojiao still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was as if I saw myself when I was younger.
After taking a shower, Xu Jiaojiao saw the little figure squatting by the wall and asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"
Hearing this, Erni nodded.
"Go get some clothes, Auntie San will get you some water."
When the little guy heard this, he ran back into the house to find clothes.
Xu Jiaojiao walked towards the kitchen carrying the bucket.
Before I entered the door, I ran into Ding Xiujing, and saw that she had a complicated expression on her face.
Finally, she said sourly, "If you like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
Forget it. She can’t even live a good life herself. She doesn’t know where she will be in ten years.
Isn't it a crime to have a child?
"You can't just squeeze a baby out, how would I know when she's coming?"
Xu Jiaojiao said half-jokingly.
But a feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.
Thinking about her own fate and the fact that she had no say in it, Xu Jiaojiao felt it was both ridiculous and pathetic.
During this stolen time, she just wanted to let herself go.
I hope the system doesn't come back so quickly.
Xu Jiaojiao prayed and went back to the kitchen to get some water.
Erni is indeed a mature and sensible child. She can wash her hair and take a bath by herself without any help from others.
The two, one big and one small, washed their hair and then sat in a row at the door, their hair blowing in the wind.
The yard is still bustling with activity.
However, these two people are unique. They are integrated into the yard, yet seem to be isolated from it.
Qin Shuo couldn't help but frown at this contradictory feeling.
After a pause, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and went back into the house.
My hair was blow-dried and it was dark enough that I couldn't see anything.
The sky is filled with stars, and even the Milky Way can be seen clearly.
"Er Ni, look, there's a shooting star."
The bright light, with a long tail, crossed the sky.
Xu Jiaojiao was very excited.
When she grew up, she would never see such a shining night sky again.
Erni was also very excited, and the two of them sat at the door, waiting foolishly for a meteor to streak across the sky.
Every now and then I see one and I get so excited.
After watching the meteors, I looked for the Big Dipper in the sky.
The evening breeze blew gently, carrying bursts of frog sounds, and Xu Jiaojiao actually felt that such a life was quite comfortable.
When the two of them returned to their rooms, the whole world seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
It was quiet everywhere.
Xu Jiaojiao groped her way towards the house, having learned from the experience of the last fall.
This time she was very careful when she entered the house.
After passing the threshold, he carefully moved towards the bed.
On the way, she accidentally kicked a stool and Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In this quiet room, this tender and soft voice seems particularly clear.
On the bed, the man lying in his clothes accurately found the clumsy figure with his eyes.
She was seen stumbling towards the bed.
Just as he was about to pounce on him, Qin Shuo dodged without making a sound.
Xu Jiaojiao reached the bed safely.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as I climbed onto the bed, I felt a warm texture.
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
