After listening to her words, the captain seemed to understand but not quite, not quite understanding what the woman's desire to have a son had to do with her family of origin.
With a flick of his rough fingertips, he said to the little girl's forehead, "With so many thoughts in your mind, no wonder you're not growing tall."
"No, I'm just being kind enough to accompany you on your adventures, and you're attacking me with words? Uncle Xiang, is this son yours or your older brother's?"
After saying that, he got up and ran away.
Sure enough, I heard a deliberately suppressed, fiery roar, like a volcano about to erupt.
"I am an only son, I have no elder brother!"
Ruan Xianxian ran back to the educated youth settlement and silently wiped away her sweat.
That's terrifying!
Since being sent to the countryside, she has felt busy every day and rarely has she had such a leisurely time.
Taking advantage of the nice weather and the absence of other people in the educated youth compound, she threw the curtains, bed sheets, and smelly socks that had accumulated over the past few days into the high-tech fully automatic washing machine in her space.
Sitting on a long bench at the base of the wall, I gently stroked the little black monkey with my fingertips and squinted my eyes to bask in the sun.
When I get tired of being in the sun, I browse the online store to figure out what to eat for lunch.
Because of her special abilities, she didn't plan to go hunting in the mountains, fearing that if she went in and didn't catch any prey, she would be kidnapped by the little cuties instead.
I want to eat hot pot, but it's not convenient outside. I'll eat it at my space for lunch.
With this understanding, she went back to her room and got busy in her space.
Alex assisted throughout.
Hot pot dishes, which taste best when served in a certain atmosphere, felt somewhat lonely to Ruan Xianxian, who was already alone in her space and didn't bother to cook them herself.
Hand-sliced beef and mutton.
Frozen tofu.
Tripe.
Yellow throat
lettuce.
Looking at the six plates of meat and two dishes on the table, she scratched her head. Was there not enough meat?
Yes! The part that's missing is definitely meat.
Light the smokeless charcoal, set up the copper pot with hot water, and use a clear broth with only scallions, ginger, and garlic to best bring out the deliciousness of the lamb, without any tomato or spicy broth.
Season with 28 sauce.
I tasted it, but it lacked a bit of flavor, so I switched to the system's version.
Hot pot restaurants sell fresh meat and dipping sauces; no matter how you make them yourself, they can never compare to the master chef's ancestral recipe.
With everything ready, she couldn't wait to cook a piece of mutton in the hot pot, and her eyes narrowed in enjoyment as she ate it.
When I opened my eyes again, there were several adorable little creatures beside me.
A goose was standing on Big Yellow's head, and a big female monkey was sitting on the waist of a male dog, holding a little black monkey.
The poor dog, all you could see was the food bowl in its mouth and its slightly wagging tail.
Ruan Xianxian chuckled, dipped a piece of meat in her chopsticks and put it in the big yellow bowl. Before she could even take a bite herself, her goose, with its arrogant gait, pushed its way forward.
Then came the large female monkey...
So... do macaques eat meat?
Looking at the empty plates, she resigned herself to her fate and asked Alex to restock, while the little cuties watched her with their big, watery eyes the whole time.
When it was finally her turn, Ruan Xianxian remembered something, "Tongtong, let's go out for hot pot!"
A cute little boy with a bow tie appeared silently beside me, looking at the messy table with a hint of disdain. With his short arms and legs, he pretended to be elegant and sat down opposite me in a chair.
"Give me an ice cream fondue."
Watching the man holding a small fork in one hand, slowly savoring the cantaloupe dipped in chocolate sauce, Ruan Xianxian found it increasingly fascinating.
I put down my chopsticks and couldn't resist, so I pounced on him and wanted to give him a little rub.
Without even lifting her eyelids, she slightly tilted her little body to gracefully dodge the strange aunt's sneak attack and continued to nibble on the chocolate strawberry in her hand.
"Wipe your mouth, it's all sesame paste."
Well!
Ruan Xianxian turned around to grab a tissue to wipe her mouth, but when she looked back, everything was gone, along with the Häagen-Dazs afternoon tea on the table.
Ruan Xianxian clicked her tongue after losing both her money and her life and gaining absolutely nothing.
After brushing my teeth to make sure the smell had dissipated and the space was clear, I lay on the kang (heated brick bed) and had a wonderful afternoon nap.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk.
I stretched out my limbs and yawned, but when I looked up, I was almost scared to death.
Because the curtains had been washed, a pair of eyes were staring intently at her through the glass.
"Holy crap, Liu Xiatian, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
The door was kicked open forcefully, and Liu Xiatian jumped in fright. "I... I just wanted to show you the eight work points I earned today."
Zhao Di said you might be taking a nap, and I wanted to check through the window to see if you were awake. Little did she know that her flattery had backfired.
I didn't dare say the second half of the sentence.
Ruan Xianxian was quite surprised when she received the scorebook.
To be honest, compared to Wenrou, who always resorted to underhanded tricks, she disliked Liu Xiatian, who was arrogant and openly wicked, even more from her past life as a sent-down youth.
Looking back, this girl was often used as a pawn, or you could say she was clueless!
It's precisely this kind of mindless, obnoxious behavior that makes people even more disgusted.
It turns out that when she was the sheep, she was surrounded by wolves.
But if she were to become the wolf queen, all the wolves would have to avoid her.
"Alright, you can go back now. Don't go to the backyard too often in the future."
...
Meanwhile, the team leader, barely holding on, finished his farm work in the fields.
The rambling, irrelevant words of the troublemaker played on repeat in his mind.
He was an only child, and there were only a handful of people in the two villages who could be called "brother".
Could it be the old village chief?
They were about the same age. When they were united against outsiders, they would call each other Lao Xiang and Lao Hu. When they didn't get along, they would call each other "brother".
Surely they can't be old comrades from the army? Nonsense, they only get together once every few years.
Who else is his brother?
The more I think about it, the more my head aches. I really want to go to the next village right now and arrest that adulterous couple and beat them up.
It wasn't until his son and daughter finished work that he took a serious look at them for the first time.
Xiang Nuan, needless to say, resembled both him and her grandfather, with a handsome and well-proportioned appearance.
The probing gaze fell on Xiang Bei's face; the son had completely inherited his mother's features, and it was obvious at a glance that they were mother and son.
Oh no! Is he really my son?!
I should have known better than to curse that stick for being short; I only asked for trouble.
Finally, when it was completely dark, Xiang Hongjun put on his coat, grabbed his flashlight, and prepared to go out. Xiang Bei poked half his head out of the house, his voice low and menacing:
"Dad! Where are you going so late?"
Xiang Hongjun almost instinctively wanted to reply with "Go find your mother," but then he immediately changed his mind and said, "Go feed the cows in the backyard. It's so late, go to sleep early."
Hearing that he had gone to feed the cows, Xiang Bei said "Oh" and withdrew his head, closing the door at the same time.
To make the performance complete, he felt uneasy after feeding the cattle to the Red Army and chatting with them for a while, then leaped onto the high wall by pushing off a nearby stack of firewood.
Because of my limp, I was very careful when I jumped down.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a sharp gaze shot towards the shadows at the base of the opposite wall, and a flashlight in his palm was ready to be fired.
"Who is it? Show yourself."
Ruan Xianxian, whose legs had gone numb from squatting, had no choice but to straighten up. "We're on the same side, don't shoot!"
She didn't want to show up; catching someone cheating is such an embarrassing and shameful thing, she wanted to know as little as possible. But since she was the one who exposed it, Lei was the one who broke the news.
The timing is wrong. What if no one stops Xiang Hongjun this time and he kills Li Chunfen?
She dared to swear on Old Man Ruan's urination that anyone who saw the scene would go crazy, or she would make Old Man Ruan change his urine to blood.
She tried to find a suitable reason for her behavior.
"Uncle! Would you believe me if I said I urinated or defecated anywhere I was passing by?"
