Chapter 10

Jiang Xuan, who was in the house, heard the noise and hurried out. When she saw this scene, she was angry and anxious. She didn't even have time to scold Xie Han and quickly helped Yu Ze up.

Jiang Hui said, "I have a first aid kit in my room. Come in with Auntie and I'll bandage you."

Xie Han held the apple in his hand and said dissatisfiedly, "No! Why should we bandage him? He deserves it!"

Jiang Hui was so angry that her eyes turned red: "Shut up!"

Xie Han was a little scared when he saw this.

The moment Xie Han pushed Yu Ze down and scared Yang Xuan to tears, Zhang Tong, who was standing by, hurriedly ran over and called Aunt Nan Tao and Aunt Zhou Mei.

When Nan Tao heard that Yu Ze was pushed down and injured, she hurried to Jiang Hui's residence.

Jiang Hui was applying alcohol to Yu Ze to reduce inflammation, and Yu Ze was grimacing in pain.

Nan Tao was so heartbroken that her eyes suddenly turned red.

Yu Ze hurriedly comforted her, "Mommy, it's okay. I don't feel any pain. Look, it doesn't hurt at all...hiss...it doesn't hurt at all."

Nan Tao took over Jiang Hui's position and carefully and gently wrapped Yu Ze with gauze.

Jiang Hui stood aside and apologized guiltily: "Nan Tao, I'm sorry, I asked Xie Han to come over to apologize to you and Xiaoze."

Nan Tao had a blank expression on her face. Even though she knew that Jiang Hui's fault was not hers, she still couldn't help but get angry.

After bandaging Yu Ze, Nan Tao finally spoke to Jiang Hui: "Where is he? I wonder if he ran away."

Jiang Hui took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and assured: "Don't worry, even if he runs away, I will drag him over to apologize to Xiaoze."

Jiang Hui turned around and went out to look for someone.

Door,

Zhang Tong described the scene that had just happened in a clear and articulate manner. Wen Manqing's gentle smile faded and she asked worriedly, "Is it not frightening you?"

Zhang Tong said: "I'm not scared at all. Xiaoze was pushed to the ground and his hand was injured. Sister Xuanxuan was scared."

Yang Xuan was sobbing. When she heard her name, she poked her head out of Zhou Mei's arms and said angrily, "Bad!"

Jiang Hui's anger was bubbling up, but she suppressed her anger and apologized to Wen Manqing and Zhou Mei, "I didn't educate the child well. I will apologize to you on his behalf first, and I will let him apologize in person after I find him."

Neither Wen Manqing nor Zhou Mei said a word.

Zhang Tong said, "Aunt Jiang, I saw Xie Han running in that direction."

After Jiang Hui left in a hurry, the two families entered the yard and came to the room to see Yu Ze.

While the adults were talking, a howling sound came from the door.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Why did you pull my ear? I'll tell my dad and grandma later!"

It was Xie Han's threatening voice.

Jiang Hui grabbed Xie Han's ear and dragged him into the room, "Go, apologize to them!"

"Why? I did nothing wrong, so I won't apologize!"

Jiang Hui was so angry that her eyes turned red, "Are you going to apologize or not?!"

Xie Han pushed Jiang Hui away and fell to the ground, rolling and thrashing. "They were the ones who hid the food without the village chief's knowledge. I was right. Why should I apologize? Ah, ah, I'm going to tell grandma that you abused me."

Jiang Hui: "They didn't hide it, the old man gave it to them, you stand up and apologize to them!"

Nan Tao and the other two looked at each other, and they said in tacit understanding: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back and rest for a while."

Jiang Hui's eyes were red, and she could hardly hold back her tears. She choked and said, "Xie Han, get up and apologize! Otherwise, I won't want you anymore!"

Xie Han snorted coldly: "If you don't want it, then don't want it. I'll go find my aunt. My aunt won't abuse me like you do!"

Jiang Hui was so angry that she was shaking all over.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were so angry that they couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

[Does the program crew not do any research before selecting guests? Xie Han is so annoying, not likable at all. ]

[Oh my god, Xie Han almost made actress Jiang cry. ]

[Isn’t Xie Han’s aunt Jiang Mei? I feel like I know something.]

[Could it be possible that Xie Han is really Jiang Mei's biological son? ]

[Don't you think Xie Han looks nothing like actress Jiang? ]

[I suddenly feel sympathy for actress Jiang. It's so tiring to have such a naughty child. 】

Until Nan Tao and the others left, they did not hear Xie Han's apology. Instead, Jiang Hui kept apologizing, which made them feel embarrassed.

After returning to her own little nest, Nan Tao lazily lay on the broken wooden bed and suddenly said, "Xiao Ze, stay away from Xie Han in the future, lest he go crazy again and get you involved."

Yu Ze said seriously: "I will pay attention."

Nan Tao praised him, "You did the right thing today. You protected the two little sisters. You are a real little man."

Yu Ze curled his lips slightly.

It was getting dark outside and the guests started their first collective dinner.

When Nan Tao and her son arrived, the other guests were already there.

Jiang Hui didn't know what to say to Xie Han, but Xie Han actually came over and apologized to them obediently.

Nan Tao accepted it with a smile.

The village chief standing nearby saw that everyone had gathered and said, "Let's start eating dinner. Here are the specialties of Changxing Village, including eight-treasure duck, simmered intestines, stinky tofu, etc. Come and taste them and see how they taste."

Adults and children alike had been hungry after a whole day, so they ate very quickly.

Only Xie Han called Jiang Hui many times to help him pick up dishes, pour water, and remove fish bones.

After seeing this, Nan Tao felt that Jiang Hui was doting on the child too much, so she said, "The child is grown up now, so you can let him develop his own initiative."

Jiang Hui was worried: "I want to, but I'm usually very busy with work and can only stay at home for a few days a year. It's all my grandmother who helps take care of him. Who knew he would develop such a temper? I can't change him. If I really don't give him rice with vegetable flavor, he really won't eat it. I'm also worried that he's hungry and he'll suffer if he makes a noise in the middle of the night."

Nan Tao suddenly understood Jiang Hui and agreed: "That's right. If I don't take care of her now, she will still have to make noise at night. It's better than not being able to sleep."

Jiang Hui looked at Nan Tao with envy: "How did you teach Xiaoze? He is so well behaved. When I was pregnant, I dreamed of having such a caring son. I never thought... His personality is not like mine at all, ah..."

Nan Tao thought to herself that since the child is not her biological child, of course he won't take after her. But it's not easy to say this directly, so she hinted, "Usually, biological children's personalities take after their parents. Since he doesn't take after you, then he must take after his father?"

Jiang Hui said: "He takes after his father a bit, but his father wasn't this naughty when he was young. But when my sister came to my house at the age of seven, she was really naughty..."

When talking about her sister, Jiang Hui's face was gentle.

Nan Tao's ears twitched, "You and your sister have a good relationship?"

Jiang Hui said: "My mother died early when I was a child. The appearance of my sister brought vitality to my life. Although it is tiring to take care of her, I am not lonely because I have someone to accompany me."

Nan Tao asked: "Aren't you biological children? Why did you say that I came to your house when I was seven years old?"

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "My dad was worried about me being alone, so he wanted to find a girl to keep me company, so he adopted Meimei from an orphanage."

Nan Tao sneered: "Then your father is a really nice person."

Jiang Hui didn't hear the sarcasm and fell into nostalgia: "Yes, that was a long time ago, but my father had a stroke last year and died within half a year."

Nan Tao said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "It's okay. I've come out of it now."

Nan Tao was curious: "Xie Han is very close to your sister?"

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "My sister dotes on him and gives him whatever he wants. It's no use telling him several times. I'm not at home and can't control him, so this is the only way."

Nan Tao said: "It's not easy to have and raise a child nowadays. Don't tell me, a few days ago I saw someone who had given birth to a baby with great difficulty, but the baby was swapped with someone else. How immoral is that? It even became a hot topic."

Jiang Hui agreed, "Are you talking about the child-swapping incident that shocked the whole country last week? I saw it too. The child that I raised with great difficulty for more than 20 years turned out to be not my own, but the illegitimate child of my husband's cheating with his mistress. It's really not easy for women. Fortunately, this didn't happen to me."

Nan Tao pursed her lips and hinted, "When Xiaoze was born, I was worried that someone might have switched the baby, so I did a paternity test right after he was discharged from the hospital. What about you?"

Jiang Hui nodded: "I am also a bit timid, just like you. I wanted to do it, but they said they were watching and there was no problem, so I didn't do it."

Nan Tao was about to say something when the children came back one after another after chatting with the village chief, each holding pots, bowls, and pans in their hands.

Yu Ze said excitedly: "Look, Mommy, I answered the village chief's question correctly. These are two basins that can be used to wash your face."

Nan Tao praised: "Ozawa is awesome!"

After dinner, the village chief and the children finished their question-and-answer session and then went back to their own homes.

Nan Tao went to her next-door neighbor's house to borrow some hot water. After washing her face, she used the remaining water to wash Yu Ze's feet.

Yu Ze said: "Mommy, let me wash it for you."

Nan Tao was deeply moved: "My dear son, let's do it next time. Your hand is injured today, you can't touch water."

After cleaning up, the two closed the door, chatted for a while on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, the guests got up one after another.

Nan Tao yawned and brought Yu Ze to the gathering place.

The village chief said, "Good morning, everyone. Take a look at the breakfast in the back. Is it rich or not?"

The children said in unison: "Feng Sheng!"

The village chief asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The children said, "We want to eat!"

The village chief smiled and said, "We have a task to do. Look, there are four tables in total. The breakfasts on each table are placed in descending order. You will sit in order according to your final task completion. This time it's a rope skipping task. Whoever jumps the most in one minute will be first!"

Nan Tao rubbed her hands together and said, "I have been the best at skipping rope since I was a child."

As expected, Nan Tao won first place with 120 jumps in one minute, Jiang Hui came second with 102 jumps, Wen Manqing came third, and Zhou Mei, who couldn't jump rope, came last.

Yang Xuan saw that there was only a bowl of porridge on the table and swallowed her saliva, "Mommy, you eat first."

Zhou Mei picked up the bowl calmly, scooped a mouthful with the porcelain spoon, blew it around her lips, and passed it to Yang Xuan, "Eat."

Nan Tao, who was standing by, saw this and picked up the wontons on the table and passed them over. She then picked up two meat buns and put them on their table, "We can't let our little Xuanxuan get hungry."

Zhou Mei said: "Thank you."

Yang Xuan said in a baby voice: "Thank you, Aunt Taozi."

Nan Tao smiled contentedly and said, "So good."

After breakfast, the village chief announced new tasks.

"Based on the ranking of this morning's rope skipping task, we will be divided into two groups. Nan Tao and her son and Jiang Hui and her son will go to the county town to help the old lady sell steamed cakes. All the proceeds will be given to the old lady. Zhou Mei and her daughter and Wen Manqing and her daughter will help the village chief feed the pigs."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Manqing couldn't hold back her gentle smile, "Feed the pigs?"

Nan Tao was glad that she was good at skipping rope, otherwise she would have been the one to feed the pigs.

After the tasks were assigned, Nan Tao and Jiang Hui brought their children to the old lady's house, and it turned out to be the old lady who gave Yu Ze and his friends apples and biscuits yesterday.

Yu Ze greeted her obediently: "Hello, grandma."

The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Hello, little friends." Then she turned and went into the house and quickly came out again with oranges and candies in her hands, which she handed to Yu Ze and Xie Han.

The two children thanked him one by one.

Nan Tao asked: "Grandma, are you the only one at home?"

The old lady sighed, "My son and his wife both work in the city, and they couldn't bear to leave their child behind, so they took him there too."

Nan Tao asked, "Are you the only one in the family?"

The old lady smiled and said, "My husband passed away years ago, and I am the only one left."

Nan Tao was deeply touched, and could not say anything to comfort him, so she just stood there silently.

The old lady didn't care. "I'm already so old, it's normal to be lonely. Some roads have to be walked alone."

Then, the old lady took Nan Tao and the others into the kitchen and said, "Thank you for helping me sell pancakes in the county town."

Jiang Hui was born in the countryside and did farm work when she was a child. She knew how to carry this kind of shoulder pole in a way that saved energy. She stood in the center of the shoulder pole, squatted down like a horse, then bent over, held the shoulder pole with both hands, stood up, and carried it on her shoulders very smoothly.

Nan Tao stepped forward quickly and said, "How come you can carry it all by yourself? Let's do it together. It will be easier this way."

Jiang Hui is a practical and capable person. She waved her hand and said, "I have always felt guilty about what happened yesterday. Just consider this as my compensation to Xiaoze."

Nan Tao refused, "How can that be possible? It's so tiring."

Jiang Hui smiled generously and said, "You don't know, I have been doing farm work like this when I was a child. I am very strong. It's okay, you take a rest first. I will call you when I can't carry it anymore."

Nan Tao thought that this was fine. But she was really surprised by Jiang Hui. She looked so pretty and didn't look like someone who had been doing farm work since she was a child.

Changxing Village is about 17 or 18 kilometers away from the county town. Among many villages, it is considered to be relatively close to the county town. However, Nantao and his friends walked, so the distance seemed quite far.

Nan Tao saw Jiang Hui sweating profusely and grabbed her arm, "Let's go here and switch places."

Jiang Hui was worried: "This...if you can't bear it, let's rest for a while before leaving."

Nan Tao saw that Jiang Hui carried it very easily and thought that she could not do it. However, as soon as she stood up, she stumbled and almost fell.

"Why is it so heavy!" Nan Tao was stunned.

Jiang Hui smiled and said, "There are more than a hundred cakes in it."

Nan Tao gave Jiang Hui a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Jiang Hui smiled shyly: "I got used to it when I was a kid."

Nan Tao was worried. She couldn't let Jiang Hui do it alone because it was so heavy. Otherwise, she would be exhausted. "I'll try again."

Nan Tao was struggling to lift it up, and she carried it like a snail, barely walking two miles, panting with exhaustion.

Yu Ze felt extremely distressed, "Mommy, I'll help you carry it."

Nan Tao said: "You can't carry it."

Xie Han, who was only concerned with eating, suddenly said proudly, "Hey, I can carry it. Aunt Nan, move aside and look at mine."

Jiang Hui felt sorry for her son, "Xiao Han, can you do it? Come on, Mommy."

Xie Han said dissatisfiedly, "Why can't I do it? I tell you, I'm amazing. You can carry it, but why can't I? I have to let you see it."

I have to say that Xie Han was very fat and strong. He was very powerful. He carried the shoulder pole and walked three miles in one breath before stopping.

Nan Tao looked at Xie Han differently: "Xiao Han is not bad, he is quite amazing."

Xie Han raised his head proudly: "Of course, I am Xie Han, I have unlimited strength!"

Nan Tao smiled from the bottom of her heart, and then her eyes lit up. She saw a tractor coming towards this road from behind, and she quickly stepped forward and waved: "Brother, brother?"

The tractor driver heard someone calling him, stopped his car, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Nan Tao smiled flatteringly, "We are going to the county town to sell steamed cakes. This shoulder pole is too heavy for us to lift. Can you help give us a lift?"

The tractor driver said straightforwardly, "Okay, get on board."

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother."

Several people got on the bus quickly and entered the county town quickly.

The county town is bustling with people coming and going.

Nan Tao and Jiang Hui walked into the ancient street in the county town, which was built by the local government in order to vigorously develop tourist attractions to attract tourists and drive local economic development.

However, stall locations in the ancient street are charged and are very expensive. Nan Tao and Jiang Hui chose a crowded location at the entrance of the ancient street to set up their stall, which attracted a lot of attention.

After all, two beauties with two children always attracted attention. Many people recognized Jiang Hui as the well-known Golden Award-winning actress and kept taking pictures.

Nan Tao said to Jiang Hui, "I'll take Xiao Ze to have a look inside and ask other vendors what prices they sell at, so we don't sell them too cheaply or too expensively."

Jiang Hui nodded in agreement: "Then be careful and don't get lost."

Nan Tao took Yu Ze to visit several pancake shops in succession and pretended to be customers asking about the prices. Some sold a pancake for three yuan, some for five yuan, and some for seven yuan. The main reason for the price fluctuation was the different fillings: some were pure meat, some were pure vegetarian, and some were a mixture of vegetarian and meat.

The last pancake shop is the most famous one in this ancient street.

Nan Tao took Yu Ze past the jade stall and walked to the pancake stall next door. She was about to ask the owner how much a pancake was when she suddenly heard her son's voice.

[Hey, the two people who were buying jade at the jade stall next to you are Jiang Mei and Xu Shan?]

Nan Tao's eyes widened. What? Jiang Mei and Xu Shan? Aren't they Jiang Hui's adopted sister and Jiang Hui's husband, traveling together as a couple?
