Chapter 235 Beating a child in public
Lin Wanxia: “???”
I always feel that there is something wrong with this sentence.
But, Xingxing is indeed a good child.
So I didn’t refute it, but nodded and agreed: “Yes, Xingxing is indeed a good child.”
***
Jiang Sinian, who had been well-behaved for a few days, pestered Lin Wanxia again at night and didn’t let her sleep.
When the two of them were not distinguishing between you and me, the heartbreaking cry of the child suddenly sounded.
Jiang Sinian cursed in a low voice, “You almost frightened me to death!”
Lin Wanxia wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to laugh, and hurriedly changed the subject, “Whose child is this?”
When living in a building, there is no sound insulation, not to mention that this is a tent.
Jiang Sinian thought for a moment, "It should be the child of Instructor Liu."
Lin Wanxia's body was in the hands of others at this moment, and her brain was slower than usual. It took her a while to react and realize that Instructor Liu's wife was Tan Qiuyun.
"Don't you want to go and see? She's your soldier." Lin Wanxia pushed Jiang Sinian's strong chest.
In return, Jiang Sinian hit her hard.
Lin Wanxia begged for mercy.
Jiang Sinian then spoke: "It's difficult for a judge to judge family affairs."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
***
The next morning, Lin Wanxia woke up again to the crying of a little girl.
She was woken up.
Lin Wanxia didn't want to move, so she asked Xingxing to go and see what was going on.
As a result, Xingxing never came back.
Instead, the crying was getting closer.
Lin Wanxia had to put on her clothes and see what was going on.
Just as she had packed herself up, Xingxing came back, holding a sobbing little girl.
The little girl's face and nose were red, her face was dirty, and the tears in her eyes were not dry yet.
Xingxing looked up and asked Lin Wanxia, "Can we let Tangtang play at our house for a while?"
Lin Wanxia nodded, "Of course."
Xingxing took Tangtang to sit on the soft cushion.
That place was not far from the stove but it was out of the way.
As soon as Tangtang sat down, her stomach made a growling sound.
The little girl's face, which was already red from being frozen, became even redder.
Xingxing turned around and called Lin Wanxia, "Lin Wanxia, have you eaten?"
Lin Wanxia shook her head: "No. It's just right, Tangtang, you can eat with me."
Don't say she really didn't eat. Even if she did, she could only say that she didn't eat now.
Jiang Sinian made breakfast at home.
He never liked to take advantage of the army. As long as Lin Wanxia was at home, he would cook at home.
Breakfast was simple, thick millet porridge, soft white flour buns and greasy salted duck eggs.
The duck eggs were laid by the ducks they raised themselves, with large yolks and little egg white, pure green and pollution-free.
Xingxing particularly liked to eat them, but this time she pushed her half of the duck egg to Tangtang, "Tangtang, this is the egg laid by the duck I raised. It's delicious! Try it."
Lin Wanxia gave hers to Xingxing, "You eat this."
Tangtang came suddenly, and the rice was prepared by Jiang Sinian early, so there was no extra rice.
The main thing was that the salted duck eggs were also raw, so they had to be cooked if they wanted to eat them, for fear that the children could not wait.
Lin Wanxia wanted to ask, "Why haven't you eaten yet so late?" But seeing that the little girl was very sad, she was afraid that she would cry if she asked her again.
She got lazy on the island and slept until about ten o'clock.
In the morning, Xingxing would usually do morning exercises with Jiang Sinian, and then have breakfast with Jiang Sinian after returning.
If she was happy, she would have a snack with Lin Wanxia.
But, except for his family, other families usually didn't do this.
Normally, they should have breakfast when it was time for breakfast.
After thinking about it, Lin Wanxia chose a safer question: "Tangtang, where is your mother?"
Her father must work in the sanitation company.
As a result, the little girl put down her pants and burst into tears.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
He looked at the little girl at a loss, and didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth. He turned his head and looked at Xingxing for help.
Xingxing sighed like a little adult.
"Her parents had a quarrel last night and took it out on her. This morning her stepmother got angry and punished her to stand outside and not allow her to eat. So I brought her back."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
He looked at the little girl in astonishment, his eyes fell on her sleeves that were obviously too short, and he sighed silently, "Let's eat first!"
As Jiang Sinian said, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs.
The little girl was timid, but very sensible and hardworking.
Seeing Lin Wanxia put down her chopsticks, she immediately wolfed down her own portion in a hurry. Before she swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, she stood up to wash the dishes.
Lin Wanxia hurriedly pushed her back to her seat, "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you. Wolfing down is not good for the stomach. You don't have to wash the dishes, Xingxing and I are waiting for you, don't worry!"
Tangtang's tears that had just stopped began to flow again.
She wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
She hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her hands, and looked at Lin Wanxia cautiously, fearing that she would be rejected.
Lin Wanxia felt sorry for the little girl, but she didn't know the situation in their family, and didn't know how to comfort her. She could only signal Xingxing with her eyes and let him comfort her.
Xingxing probably had limited emotional intelligence because he grew up with a group of iron-clad straight men.
He was also very straightforward in comforting people: "It's okay! Lin Wanxia is very good and won't hit you."
The little girl cried even harder.
Lin Wanxia vaguely guessed something, sighed slightly, put away the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen. If
she wasn't there, the little girl might not be so trembling.
After a while, Lin Wanxia returned from the kitchen after hearing the crying gradually stop.
The little girl squatted with Xingxing next to his new toys and played.
"Xingxing, you and Tangtang play at home, I'll go to the greenhouse to take a look." Lin Wanxia said as she put on her coat.
The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is too big.
It's as warm as a room with heating in the north, and I can't wait to wear warm sleeves, but it's already below zero outside.
"Okay!" Xingxing responded without raising her head.
Lin Wanxia went to the greenhouse first.
There was a stove on in the greenhouse.
It was okay during the day, but the temperature in the greenhouse was low at night, and the stove needed to be lit to keep it above 20 degrees.
There are already seeds that have begun to sprout.
Lin Wanxia grows many varieties.
There are many green leafy vegetables, as well as cucumbers, beans, peppers, etc.
In addition, peanuts and corn are also grown.
Corn sprouts the fastest.
After a round, Lin Wanxia went to pack up the things she brought back from the transport ship last night with satisfaction.
She put a thin sheet of iron on the ground, glued the foam on it with glue, and then covered it with another layer of iron.
After putting all the iron sheets and foam together to make a sandwich, it was time for dinner.
Lin Wanxia clapped her hands, slightly straightened the semi-finished product, and got up to go home.
From a distance, she heard a woman's yelling.
"If they are good, then you should stay here and don't come back! What are you doing here?"
"I told you to stand there, who told you to leave? Did you go to someone else's house and say bad things about me again?"
"No? Don't you have anyone to feed you? You are so young and you lie! I will punish you!"
"..."
Then the heart-wrenching cry of the little girl was heard again.
