"No! You must have remembered it wrong! My mother is very good to us and to my brother too." Xiao Yutang shouted.

Xiao Yuzheng also nodded and said, "Our mother is very kind to us, Zhao Fugui, please don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Your mother and my mother are good friends. Your mother often said that you two have never seen the world. You always regard bad things as good things and yearn for them. She can't stand the way you are the most. You have no knowledge at all. You are like a frog in a well. These are her exact words." Zhao Fugui's words were very sharp.

Xiao Yutang frowned. When he heard what Zhao Fugui said, he knew that it was Lan Linxiang who could say that.

Lan Linxiang had often said the same thing in front of him and Xiao Yuzheng before, but he didn't expect that she would say it outside as well.

Xiao Yuzheng was still too young, and his memory was not very clear, but he was also frightened by Zhao Fugui's sharp words.

He looked at Xiao Yutang somewhat sadly, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Brother, Mom is so nice. Did she really say such things? I don't believe Mom is like that. She would never say such things." Xiao Yu was grabbing the corner of Xiao Yutang's clothes and was about to cry.

Xiao Yutang protected him behind him, feeling a little worried, not knowing how to explain it to Xiao Yuzheng.

The mother Zhao Fugui was talking about was Lan Linxiang, and the mother that Xiao Yuzheng understood was Shen Huanxi. If he had said this directly to Xiao Yuzheng and let Xiao Yuzheng know that the mother he liked was not his biological mother, then Xiao Yuzheng would have been even more sad.

Chang'an Changning also wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Yutang.

Xiao Yutang was determined to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Yuzheng that Shen Huanxi was not their biological mother, but not now.

"Zhengzheng, don't listen to other people's nonsense. We know what kind of person our mother is. It was our mother who brought us here, gave us money to buy us buns, and will take us shopping for clothes later. How could such a good mother be like what others say?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yuzheng smiled again after hearing what Xiao Yutang said. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Fugui, "It was our mother who brought us here. She also wanted to take us to buy clothes."

"Will she take you shopping for clothes? She thinks your dad doesn't make enough money to buy her nice clothes, and she's unhappy about it. How could she possibly take out money to take you shopping for clothes?

You are lying here for the sake of face! In the past, your mother came to play with my mother every day, and she said with her own mouth that she disliked you, didn’t I know that? "Zhao Fugui shouted while holding a frog toy.

There were other people in the bun shop, and this time they couldn't help but look over. Finally, their eyes fell on Eddie Xiao and Eddie Xiao, and many of them were talking about it.

"How come these two cute kids have such a mother?"

"It's so pitiful. Children are really different from each other. These two children have never felt what motherly love is from childhood to adulthood, right?"

…

Zhao Fugui burst into laughter.

"Xiao Yuzheng, could it be that your mother came here to shop for clothes and you followed her, only to be left here by her? She always says that you two are a burden to her and she can't wait to get rid of you two!"

"Zhao Fugui, are you done yet? If you keep talking, I'll beat you up!" Xiao Yutang rushed to Zhao Fugui in anger.

He raised his fist to scare Zhao Fugui, but Zhao Fugui was not scared at all and ran away with a face.

"Xiao Yutang, do you want to hit me? Your mother said that you are impulsive and uneducated, and might become a murderer in the future. It seems to be true, it seems to be true! You actually want to hit me, you actually want to hit me! You are really useless! You really look like a murderer when he was a child! No wonder your mother ignores you! Lululu!"

"What's wrong with you, kid? Your name is Xiao Yutang, right? How dare you scare our Fugui!" The old man who walked in with Zhao Fugui bought the buns. When he came back, he heard what Zhao Fugui said, so he picked up Zhao Fugui and glared at Xiao Yutang.

Zhao Fugui was fearless and knew that Xiao Yutang had no love from his mother, so he continued to make faces at Xiao Yutang after being picked up.

"Grandpa, they want to beat me up. Their mother is right. Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng are both good-for-nothings! They must have come here with their mother and were rejected by her. So they are unhappy and want to scare me!"

"Who scared you? You only go to your grandpa when you have problems. What a loser! If you have the guts, come and fight me yourself! Who is useless?" Xiao Yutang was angry.

Zhao Fugui still made faces at him.

"I just went to find grandpa, so what? My grandpa loves me. After all, I have grandpa who loves me, and I also have mom who loves me. Do you have the same? Your mom ignored you, so go find your mom. Why are you here to make trouble with me? Are you jealous that my mom bought me toys, but you don't? It's not my fault!"

"It's just a broken tin toy. Look how proud you are of it. Have you never seen any toy better than your broken tin toy? You have no sense at all." Shen Huanxi walked in from outside the store and confronted Zhao Fugui as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Fugui looked at the beautiful aunt who suddenly rushed in, a little confused, who is this? She looked unfamiliar.

Xiao Yuzheng was the first one to rush to Shen Huanxi.

"Mom, he said you left us here and didn't care about us."

"How could that be?" Shen Huanxi picked up Xiao Yuzheng and looked at Zhao Fugui again.

"I think it's more like your mother is ignoring you. If your mother really loves you and cares about you, why would she abandon you to your grandfather and ignore you?

I am Zheng Zheng's mother. No matter what, I will keep Zheng Zheng by my side. What about your mother? Where is your mother? Is she holding you now? Is she accompanying you? Does she take you out to play? "Shen Huanxi looked at Zhao Fugui with sympathy and asked five questions in a row.

Zhao Fugui was confused by the question. What confused him even more was how Xiao Yuzheng's mother became so beautiful. She seemed like a different person.

Shen Huanxi touched Xiao Yuzheng's head to comfort him.

"Zheng Zheng, don't listen to other people's nonsense. How could mom not care about you? Mom does care about you. I brought you here to buy clothes today. Later, mom will take you to buy beautiful clothes. I will take you there personally and buy you fun toys, not shabby ones like the Tin Frog."

Xiao Yuzheng nodded happily and smiled at Zhao Fugui.

"Zhao Fugui, look, our mother never despised us. She was very kind to us and even took us clothes shopping in person. Why didn't your mother accompany you?"

"Zhengzheng, you don't need to say so much to him. His mother doesn't love him, so she didn't educate him well. She let him go out and offend people, including you. This shows that his mother really doesn't care about him and doesn't raise him as her own child. Look, I'm holding you now, but is his mother holding him? His mother is not here, and she doesn't accompany him. He is very pitiful. You don't need to say so much to him."

"You...wawawa..." Zhao Fugui cried in anger.

He is just a naughty kid who always makes trouble. He is very arrogant in front of Xiao Yuzheng who is younger than him. But now an adult comes to mock him, saying that his favorite toy is broken, and also says with reason that his mother doesn't love him. How can he bear this stimulation?

"You, you, you...what's wrong with this person? Why are you, an adult, interfering in a child's affairs!" Zhao Fugui's grandfather, Old Zhao Tou, became anxious when he saw his grandson being made to cry.

Shen Huanxi looked at him calmly.

"Didn't you speak, too? Didn't you also mix things up when you spoke? You can mix things up at your age, so why can't I? Oh, is it because your grandson's mother doesn't care about your grandson, so you have to take care of him, right? Even after all this, your grandson still has the nerve to say that my son doesn't have his mother's love? It seems that he not only lacks maternal love, but there is also another problem here."

After Shen Huanxi finished speaking, he tapped his temples with his hands.

How can a three or four-year-old child have the ability to think independently? After hearing Shen Huanxi's words, Zhao Fugui's mind was diverted. He cried even harder, making old Zhao a little flustered.

Shen Huanxi was too lazy to bother with the troublesome grandparents, so she went out with her four children.

Xiao Yuzheng happily hugged Shen Huanxi's neck and kissed her hard on the face several times. He was just a tiny child, but he almost deformed her face, even though she was an adult.

"Mom is the best. I know she loves us the most. I know it!"

"Okay, let's go pick out clothes. Each of you should pick two pieces for yourself." After Shen Huanxi kissed Xiao Yuzheng on the face, he put her down and pointed to the row of children's cotton-padded clothes stalls in front.

"Okay!" The three younger children ran over to pick out clothes, and Xiao Yutang stayed behind.

"Mom, these are the buns I bought for you. The buns at that bun shop are sold out very quickly. If you don't buy them early, you won't be able to get any."

"Okay, thank you, you can go pick out some clothes too." Shen Huanxi took the buns and asked Xiao Yutang to pick out some cotton-padded clothes.

Xiao Yutang hesitated for a moment, but still refused to leave.

"What's wrong?"

"You are so nice to us." Xiao Yutang lowered his head but said seriously.

A warm feeling flowed through Shen Huanxi's heart. She also knew that she was good to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yu, but she had never expected anything in return. Even if these two children never recognized her as their mother for the rest of their lives, she didn't care.

Now that she sees that the children remember her kindness and are grateful, she takes it as an unexpected surprise and is very happy.

Shen Huanxi didn't know what to say, so he just touched the child's head as a response.

Xiao Yutang did not dodge, but raised his head and looked at her.

"She was really mean to us. We were ridiculed by Zhao Fugui today because she used to treat us badly and even went around saying that we were good-for-nothings, and Zhao Fugui heard it.

There are still many people who don’t know that our mother has become you, and they still think she is our mother. They laugh at us when they see us. Fortunately, you are here today. If you hadn’t come today, Zheng Zheng might have been laughed at and cried. ”

When Xiao Yutang talked about Lan Linxiang in the past, his tone was very calm, as if that person was not his biological mother but a stranger.

Maybe this is what it means to be disappointed. Shen Huanxi felt a little distressed.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Didn't she say you are useless? Then you should show them that you are useful. Then those who have heard what she said about you won't believe her and laugh at you.

I will always be good to you two, and slowly everyone will see how good I am to you, so that no one will laugh at you anymore.

But you still have to become excellent yourself. This is the best way to avoid being laughed at or looked down upon by others."

"Yeah." Xiao Yutang answered sullenly, "But..."

"Hmm?" Shen Huanxi looked at him.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yutang still didn't finish the half sentence he was going to say.

"What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"I...just..." Xiao Yutang hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing.

"Didn't you just say that I'm good to you? If I'm good to you, you can say anything to me and I'll listen carefully."

"I..." Xiao Yutang wanted to say that Xiao Yuzheng didn't know that Shen Huanxi was not his biological mother. He wanted to ask Shen Huanxi what to do, but in the end he couldn't say it.

He didn't want to tell Shen Huanxi such a cruel fact so directly, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Okay, why don't you tell me when you want to say it. Hurry up and pick out some clothes. If you don't pick them out, they will be sold out. Don't let your brothers and sisters wait for you too long." Shen Huanxi looked at his expression, touched his head and said.

"Okay." Xiao Yutang walked towards the cotton coat stall, took two steps and suddenly turned back, looking at Shen Huanxi seriously:

"I love you being my mom."

"Okay, I'd like you to be my son, too. Go ahead."

"Yeah." Xiao Yutang turned around. Shen Huanxi looked at his back and found that his ears were red.

"Mom, I have picked out the clothes! Mom, do you think this looks good?" Chang'an waved at Shen Huanxi.

Shen Huanxi saw that she had picked a small cotton jacket with a white background and yellow flowers, and it had a high collar. After buttoning up a row of buttons, it could wrap her neck tightly and the cold wind could not get in at all.

The stall owner was an old lady in her early 70s. When she saw Chang'an picking out the dress, she looked at Shen Huanxi with a smile.

"You are such a good girl, my dear. The cotton in my quilted jacket is all grown by my family. It is the best white cotton, the new cotton this year, and it is very warm.

The surface is made of the most popular corduroy, the pattern is quite pretty. Look at the big flowers. It is not as rustic as the cotton jackets that children used to wear. When you wear it in the city, everyone says it looks good.

Look at my cuffs and hem. I made them longer and buttoned them inside. The size of the clothes is also wide and buttoned inside. You can let your child choose the right one. When the child grows up in a few years, you can let the buttoned part inside out. The child can wear it for many years. "

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded and went over to check the clothes.

In those days, people’s lives were not as good as they will be in the future. It was not possible to buy new clothes for children every year. Many people would deliberately buy bigger clothes for their children so that the children could wear them when they grew up.

However, if winter clothes do not fit well, they will easily leak air and fail to keep warm. This is when the wisdom of ordinary people is tested. Generally, when making clothes for older children, the cuffs, hems and sides of the clothes are sewed up with needle and thread, making the seams shorter and smaller. When the child grows up, the needle and threads are untied so that the child can wear them.

"Chang'an, do you really like this dress?" Shen Wangxi checked the clothes and asked Chang'an after finding no problems.

Changan nodded.

"Then I'll take this one." Shen Huanxi said straightforwardly.

Changan does know how to choose clothes. There are already many cotton-padded clothes factories producing them, but the cotton-padded clothes processed on the production lines may not be as good as those made by these old ladies who have been making clothes for decades.

When Shen Huanxi was little, she also wore cotton-padded clothes sewn for her by the elderly in the village. They were really warm, with plenty of cotton wool and tight stitches, making them extremely warm to wear. This is why he brought the children here to buy cotton-padded clothes today instead of going to the department store to buy branded goods.

In this day and age, branded goods may not be better than those made by women who have many years of experience in making clothes.

"What about Changning? Have you picked out the clothes you want to buy? Changning, pick one more. One is not enough. Today, mom will buy two clothes for each of you.

When you choose, choose handmade ones, not factory goods with labels on them. Listen to your mother."

"Okay!" The four children nodded.

The old woman at the stall in front of me smiled broadly.

"My dear, people nowadays don't like handmade things. They think that handmade things are not as good as those made in factories. They all say that factory goods are better. You are the only one who likes handmade clothes. It's really rare.

It just so happens that all the items in my stall are handmade, and I sewed them one stitch at a time, with tight stitches. I checked each piece of clothing several times, and if you don’t mind, you can pick a few more pieces from my stall.”

"Okay, kids, you can choose." Shen Huanxi said.

Most of the cotton-padded clothes sold in the stalls around here are handmade by the stall owners or their family members.

Most of those who go to the clothing factories to purchase goods are on the street over there by the department store.

Of course, there are also vendors selling factory goods here, and the stall owners are proudly shouting:

"Branded goods! Branded cotton-padded jackets! Produced by a big factory! The same style as in the mall, come and take a look!"

On the contrary, those who sell handmade cotton-padded jackets dare not shout out their sales. After all, in this era, in the eyes of ordinary people, handmade products cannot compare to those made in factories.

Only Shen Huanxi is different from others. People of this generation don’t know the fragrance of handmade products. Anyway, she likes handmade products.

The old lady didn't have many goods here, so Shen Huanxi took the four children to visit a few more stalls. Finally, she bought two cotton coats and two pairs of cotton trousers for each of the children. Each child returned home with a full bag.

The four children picked out their favorite patterns. Changan and Changning picked out those with big flowers printed on them, while Tangtang Zhengzheng picked out blue or green, which were their favorite colors.

She simply asked the children to change into her new clothes, and none of the children refused. After putting them on, they looked much more energetic than the old clothes they had worn before.

They stopped a small three-wheeled vehicle and the four of them rode home together.

It was not until they arrived under the big locust tree in Guihua Village that Shen Huanxi took the children off the car.

Everyone was envious when they saw the new clothes the four children were wearing.

"Xiao Shen must have made a lot of money. Look at how smartly the kids are dressed. Such thick cotton-padded clothes don't look cheap."

"That's right. This coat is very well made. It's a blessing for Mom to have one of her four children be so good at making money."

…

Shen Huanxi looked at them, smiled and shook his head.

"No, I bought them clothes with the money I saved from my frugal life. I'm still taking out a loan to build a factory. Didn't my husband go to the credit union this morning?"

"I saw Dashan going to the credit union. He was going to ask about a loan!" said Mrs. Zhou.

Shen Huanxi nodded.

"Yes, it costs a lot of money to build a factory. We need to take out a loan. Now we don't know when the factory will be able to make money back and repay the loan. Doing business is risky. If one day I really fail or lose money, I don't know what to do."

After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, those who were envious just now are no longer so envious.

Shen Huanxi looked at the four children and said, "You can play here by yourselves. I will go home and discuss things with your father."

"Okay!" the children nodded.

Xiao Yutang called his younger brothers and sisters to a place where there were fewer people.

"Do you remember what mom said just now? It's called not showing off your wealth. We have money, our family has money, but we can't let others know. It will make others jealous. We have to hide it."

"Mom told us these words, so of course we remember them. There's no need for brother to tell us again," Changning said.

Changan laughed.

"Brother is mom's little helper! Little cotton-padded jacket!"

"It's a leather jacket." Xiao Yutang smiled, quite proud.

"Chang'an Changning, your new clothes are so beautiful!" Several little girls from Guixiang Village gathered around.

Xiao Yutang couldn't play with the little girls, so he pulled Xiao Yuzheng to the other side.

He looked at Xiao Yuzheng, thought for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Zhengzheng, do you remember that our mother was not Shen Huanxi?"

Shen Huanxi is not their biological mother, he has to let Xiao Yuzheng know the truth as soon as possible.

Xiao Yuzheng was a little confused.

The truth is that he was too young and couldn't remember clearly.

"Isn't our mother's name Shen Huanxi? Look, she also wrote her name, our home address, and the address of her store here. She said that if I get lost, I should show this to the police or someone in uniform and ask them to take me home."

As Xiao Yutang spoke, he tried hard to roll up his sleeves, trying to pull out Shen Huanxi's thing and show it to Xiao Yuzheng.

It was a pity that he was wearing too many clothes, and he was also wearing a thick cotton coat on the outside, so he couldn't roll up his sleeves at all.

"Stop masturbating. It's so cold. Be careful not to catch a cold." Xiao Yutang said as he held Xiao Yuzheng's hand.

He just felt his nose a little sour. He knew that Shen Huanxi really cared about them, otherwise he would not have written these things on Xiao Yuzheng's arm.

In the past, Lan Linxiang never worried that the two of them would get lost.

"Zhengzheng, listen to me. Our previous mother was not her, not Shen Huanxi, but Lan Linxiang. Lan! Lin! Xiang! Do you remember this name, Lan Linxiang? Now think carefully about these three words Lan Linxiang. Do you think it sounds familiar?"

"I..." Xiao Yuzheng thought about it for a while, then nodded, "It does sound familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere."

"You've heard of it at home. Our ex-mother was called Lan Linxiang. She..."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen! My mother is Shen Huanxi! Not some Lan Linxiang. I don't want any other mother! I just want to like my mother!" Xiao Yu was getting anxious and interrupted Xiao Yutang.

Now Xiao Yutang is even more worried. It seems that Xiao Yuzheng really likes Shen Huanxi very much and even says that he doesn't want any other mother. If Xiao Yuzheng really knows the truth one day, it will be a disaster.

"Yes, we don't want another mother, and I also like Shen Huanxi to be our mother. I just want to tell you a fact, Shen Huanxi is very good, but she is not our biological mother. Our biological mother is called Lan Linxiang."

"I don't remember anything!" Xiao Yuzheng pouted.

Xiao Yutang still didn't give up.

"Do you remember that she had a strong perfume smell on her body, which could be smelled from a distance? She also liked to wear bright red lipstick and curl her hair like a foreigner.

Do you remember that we had two rows of high heels and a cabinet of handbags in our house? They were all hers, and she often quarreled with grandma and dad.

Our current mother never quarreled with grandma or dad, so our mother has changed, do you remember it now? "

"I...wow wow wow..." Xiao Yuzheng remembered it all.

Even though he was young and had a vague memory of some things, Lan Linxiang and Xiao Shanhe's divorce was only less than a year ago. If someone reminded him and guided him to recall it, he would still be able to remember it.

"Shen Huanxi is really not our biological mother. Our biological mother is really someone else...Brother, I am so sad...I don't want any other mother, I only want Shen Huanxi...Why is she not our biological mother...wawawa..."

"Tangtang, are you bullying your younger brother?" Hearing Xiao Yuzheng's crying, Mrs. Jiang, who was passing by while buying vegetables, came over.
