Chapter 46 I Will Never Let Anyone Bully Me Again
Xie Shuangbai didn't go home, but took Xiaodouzi to Wang's house.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Cui asked, "Shuang'er, what's wrong?"
In the blink of an eye, he saw the dirty little Douzi again: "Did someone bully the children again? Don't be angry, these bastards will be punished by God sooner or later!"
"It's okay, Auntie. I just came to see how the tofu is."
"Well, don't worry, your brother Wang is watching you!"
"Yes, Brother Wang is most assured of me."
Xie Shuangbai didn't know what to do, he just followed his feeling and came to Wang's house.
He walked back and forth in the room, feeling very irritated, and asked casually:
"Auntie, do you have any cabbage at home?"
Cui didn't know what he was going to do, but there were plenty of cabbages at home.
"Yes, the fields haven't been harvested yet. If you want to eat some, I'll pick some for you."
"Okay, pick 10 for me first, and I'll make something delicious for you to try."
"That would be great!"
Cui knew Xie Shuangbai's craftsmanship and picked 20 of them directly.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the fresh cabbage and felt much better. He said, "Thank you, Auntie."
Cui waved her hand and said, "Why are you being so polite? Take it and eat it!"
Xie Shuangbai thought of the thorn eggs that Xiao Shitou had just mentioned, "Auntie, can you help me collect some thorn eggs?"
Cui was puzzled: "Why collect this? We can't eat it."
Xie Shuangbai said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes!"
"You're still hiding secrets from your aunt! How are you going to handle this?"
Xie Shuangbai thought: "1 wen 5 jin for shelled ones, 1 wen 2 jin for unshelled ones."
Cui smiled and said, "Okay, the village is free right now. You see, in two days, all the thorns on the mountain will be plucked out!"
Xie Shuangbai also smiled: "That's great, I'll take them all."
Seeing that there were fewer people at the Wang family today, he asked, "Where are Auntie Tiantian and Manman?"
"She went to her grandmother's house. Your sister-in-law went home to discuss what you mentioned before."
Xie Shuangbai nodded: "If my sister-in-law's family does it, I will contract their village to them. They will have priority over my things in the future."
Cui knew Xie Shuangbai's cooking skills, so she took the priority to get a share, which was to help her family.
"I know you're helping us!"
"Aunt, I'm so sad when you say that. How can I repay all the help you've given me? I treat you like my own aunt."
"Okay, okay! My dear nephew!"
Cui smiled and patted his head, then glanced at the little Douzi beside him and sighed:
"Poor thing, why are you being bullied like this again!"
Xie Shuangbai also angrily told what had just happened.
Cui cursed loudly when she heard this: "These bastards, they accept thorn eggs but not them, and also Wang Laizi and Hei San. In short, we won't accept anyone who has bad intentions."
"It's up to my aunt to decide!"
Xie Shuangbai's eyes narrowed as he smiled, making him look like a cute little fox.
He liked this feeling, that Aunt Cui cared about him and would scold those people for him.
Amidst her scolding, his frantic and restless heart gradually calmed down.
Xie Shuangbai looked at Xiaodouzi with envy and touched his little face: "Do you want to come to my house and help me make things during this time?"
"I think so." Xiaodouzi said without hesitation.
Cui brought him a bowl of sugar water: "Douzi, drink some water. Your mouth looks dry."
Cui looked at him with a distressed expression and thought: What a miserable child.
Xie Shuangbai secretly discussed with Aunt Cui that he wanted to let Xiaodouzi go to study medicine with Old Man Li. He had this idea before, but he had been busy and had not made any arrangements. Now he saw him wandering around the village and being bullied, and he really couldn't stand it.
Such a good child shouldn't have ended up like this.
The more Cui thought about it, the more she felt it would work.
"I think it's okay. I'll talk to your Uncle Wang later and ask him to go have a drink with Old Man Li first to see what he means."
"Okay, I also hope that Uncle Li's medical skills can be passed down. With Xiaodouzi as an apprentice, I can also leave something behind."
"That's right!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Cui said, "Let's have lunch at home."
Xie Shuangbai wanted to laugh when he thought of Aunt Cui's reluctance to use oil when cooking. "You go to my place. I'll cook at noon, and you and Xiaodouzi can help me pickle vegetables in the afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll load up the cabbage and bring it over later."
Xie Shuangbai also stood up and took the cabbage: "I'll help your aunt."
Cui pushed him down and said, "Hurry up and sit down. You have skinny arms and legs, but you are not as strong as me."
Xie Shuangbai looked at himself: He was being disliked.
At noon, in the main hall of the Xie family.
A group of people gathered around the round table. Uncle Wang was stunned, Aunt Cui was dumbfounded, and Heinu and Douzi were also still.
Wang Dadi swallowed and Old Man Li licked his lips.
Only the three sisters of the Xie family looked at the table full of dishes as if they were used to it.
Xie Shuangbai pointed at the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one:
"Here are sweet potato with candied sugar, three kinds of fresh vegetables, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried bean sprouts, braised pork, hot and sour soup, cabbage with vinegar, red bean dumplings, steamed eggplant, and cabbage stewed with tofu. Try them!"
Xie Shuangbai was in a good mood today. He hadn't eaten stir-fried dishes for a long time, so he showed off his cooking skills.
"Hei Niu, you guys eat the beans."
The two children were shocked because they had never seen so many dishes. Xie Shuangbai gave them a little bit of each dish and finally filled a bowl.
No one was talking at the dinner table, only the sound of eating.
The staple food was steamed fragrant rice that he brought from the space and added some polished rice that he bought in town.
There are also white steamed buns made from space flour.
"Why is this rice so delicious?"
“The steamed buns are also chewy.”
"What is this white and tender thing? I've never seen it before, but it tastes so good!"
Old man Li tasted the herbs and commented on each one.
He originally wanted to go to Wang's house for a free meal, but Cui was not there, so he came to Xie Shuangbai's place as well.
Old man Li's mouth was full of oil. He looked at Xie Shuangbai and said with a smile: "Frost boy, can we discuss something?"
Xie Shuangbai knew what he wanted as soon as he saw him like this: "Want to eat for free?"
Old man Li nodded frantically.
God knows how hard it is for him, an old man living alone, to cook.
"It's not impossible if you promise me one thing."
"You agree first."
Old Man Li looked at him suspiciously: "You can't do murder or arson."
“It’s not against the law or morality.”
"Okay." Old man Li agreed quickly, fearing that Xie Shuangbai would regret it.
"Well, from today on, you are Xiaodouzi's master."
Xiaodouzi was stunned when his name was called. He was very surprised and didn't know how Xie Xiaoxiu knew that he wanted to study medicine.
Old man Li was stunned for a moment, but did not object.
Xie Shuangbai brought him a glass of wine and said, "Little Bean, hurry up and become my disciple!"
He held up his wine glass and timidly called out, "Master!"
Old Man Li looked at Xiao Douzi, helped him up and took a sip of wine: "I will be very strict from now on, can you hold on?"
Xiaodouzi looked at him with a firm look in his eyes and said, "I can!"
Old man Li nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that things were done, Xie Shuangbai felt that today was a good day.
"Great! Today is a good day, Little Bean. I'd like to change your name. Would you like that?"
Xie Shuangbai was so excited that he blurted it out without knowing why.
"I do!"
Little Bean was very willing, but he didn't like his name very much. Every time he was called Bean, he felt very pitiful.
Xie Shuangbai thought for a moment and said, "Li Shan and Li Quan, choose one."
Without even thinking, Xiaodouzi said, "I...I want to call you Li Shan, is that okay?"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and said, "Okay."
He paused, stood up and walked to Xiaodouzi, put away his smile, and said in a serious voice:
"But I hope you'll remember the name Li Quan in your heart. If someone bullies your kindness, remember to use your fists to beat them down. Can you do that?"
Xiaodouzi was stunned for a long time before replying: "Yes!"
Xie Shuangbai asked again: "Can you do it?"
"I can't hear you!"
"I can! I can! I can! I can! I can! I can! I can! ..."
With each "I can, I can" sound, the scene of those people bullying him emerged in his mind.
He could no longer control himself and burst into tears.
Xie Shuangbai waited until he calmed down, then bent down and hugged him, saying gently, "Okay, okay, you're safe now. No one will bully you anymore!"
Xiaodouzi wiped her tears and nodded: "My name is Li Shan, and I will never let anyone bully me again!"
Xie Shuangbai patted his head with relief.
