Qiao Yang nodded in agreement: "This bowl of rice is the most delicious in the world. I have never tasted such fragrant rice, such delicious pork... It is so fragrant, even more fragrant than yesterday's pigeon meat!"

Qiao Cheng was so happy that he forgot about himself. He thought that he could eat pigeon meat yesterday and white rice and pork today. Things he had never dreamed of in his dreams suddenly came true. He thought that all of this was thanks to his grandma.

Qiao Cheng thought about the beating and scolding his grandma had done to his mother and aunt before, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

He suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Xiao Qing: "Grandma, can you be as kind to us as you have been these two days from now on? Don't beat my mother and aunt, don't call us beasts, don't let my second uncle starve,

Why don’t you use a few of us in exchange for money? Will you treat us as well as you did these two days in the future?”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sounds in the yard suddenly stopped, and the frightened eyes of the three adults suddenly fell on Qiao Cheng.

Mrs. Zhou quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks, took the bowl and chopsticks from Qiao Cheng's hand, and placed them heavily on the table with a "bang" sound.

"Xiao Cheng, what are you talking about? Ah? How can you say such things to grandma?" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly scolded Qiao Cheng and apologized to Xiao Qing: "Mother, I don't know why Xiao Cheng suddenly said

Don't listen to him. If you want to hit or scold me, just hit me and scold me. It's all because I didn't teach you well, mother..."

Mrs. Qin also put down her bowls and chopsticks, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Qing to admit her mistake.

"Mom, children are not sensible. Don't take what you say to your heart. You are doing it for our own good. We know in our hearts that the children don't understand. We understand. Mother, you must not take it to your heart!"

Qin kowtowed to admit his mistake for Qiao Cheng.

Qiao Erjing was calmer. When his mother didn't move, he persuaded her: "Mom, Qiao Cheng is just a child..."

Several adults urged them anxiously, and the children around the table slowly put down their chopsticks, not daring to eat any more.

Xiao Qing smiled slowly under the watch of her family. She picked up the rice in the bowl. She was not in a hurry to speak, but she was not angry either. She finished the rice in the bowl. The two daughters-in-law were still kneeling, and the children

No one dared to move their chopsticks.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. My mother didn't speak, and no one dared to move. I even wanted to run away, for fear that my mother would change back again.

Finally, Xiao Qing finished chewing the rice in his mouth and touched his fat belly comfortably. He was finally full. At this time, his eyes moved to Zhou and Qin: "You two, get up! This habit of kneeling all the time needs to be changed.

!”

Mrs. Zhou and Ms. Qin were so frightened that they lowered their heads and trembled slightly, daring not to move. They rubbed their hands nervously, worried that their mother would beat Qiao Cheng again.

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "No one in our family is allowed to kneel from now on. Not only does the man have gold under his knees, but the daughter also has jade on her legs! They are all precious in gold, so no kneeling is allowed!"

Zhou and Qin responded timidly and stood up.

Only then did Xiao Qing cast his eyes on Qiao Cheng, his eyes full of distress and debt: "Don't be afraid of Xiao Cheng, grandma listens to you and will never beat your mother and your aunt again. She will also raise you two."

It’s okay to be fat and strong, okay?”

Feeling Xiao Qing's sincerity, Qiao Cheng nodded heavily, then stretched out his little finger and handed it to her: "Well, then grandma hooks up with me. If you hook up, it will be our death agreement."

Xiao Qing saw his little wrinkled hand stretched out, smiled and hooked his fat little finger on Qiao Cheng's, and the two hooked together, as if they had reached a major agreement.

After Qiao Cheng was comforted, and seeing that the other children were still a little scared, Xiao Qing smiled and handed his fingers to them: "Come on, let's make a death agreement with grandma...?"

Encouraged by Qiao Cheng and Qiao Yang, several children hooked up with Xiao Qing one by one. Witnessed by the three adults, this agreement seemed to have become a guarantee in their hearts, a guarantee that they would no longer live in fear.

But Qiao Erjing always felt that my mother had changed, not as being kind to them, but as if she had become a different person. Just for a moment, when they were about to be suffocated by the tension, my mother spoke belatedly. This kind of deterrence

, my mother would never do it before, but no matter what, the mother in front of me is very lovable and they like her very much.

In the end, only the timid and simple Qiao Yu was left. Seeing everyone else flirting with her mother, she did not dare to move. She secretly glanced at her mother, lowered her head, neither laughing nor making trouble. When everyone started eating again, she ate together.

Xiao Qing put her little finger in front of Qiao Yu for a while, but she didn't notice it and kept her head down. She almost understood in her heart that this child was more afraid of her than anyone else.

The Fang family from the neighboring village will come to get engaged in the next two days. Qiao Yu's horoscope is already in their hands, and the matchmaker will discuss choosing a date when she comes.

She was still so young, and she was asked to marry. As the stepmother who was the initiator, how could she not be afraid of her? Now, if she was asked to marry a fool, wouldn't this be forcing her into a pit of fire?

Xiao Qing was not in a hurry to ease the relationship between mother and daughter. She retracted her finger, lowered her head and smiled. As time goes by, they will both be honest children.

After lunch, the family had enough to eat and drink, and the family got busy again.

Xiao Qing called Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Zhou into the room and pointed to a few pieces of cloth on the hay: "Mom, I know you two are pretty good at making clothes. I will give these pieces of cloth to you two and this piece of fine linen to the children."

Let's make some inner clothes, and make some clothes from these two pieces of burlap, and make two for the adults to wear first."

In addition, he gave them the needles and threads he got from Shopkeeper Li.

The two took the three pieces of cloth and walked out after listening to the words. As long as they listened to their mother, they would have food and clothing in the future.

There was no sound of children outside. Xiao Qing thought that Er Jing had taken them to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and collect dry firewood.

Xiao Qing didn't care about them. Er Jing had been contributing to the family. He bought those saws and files to make furniture. The family was short of beds.

She walked back and forth in the house and yard several times to increase the number of steps in the system. The more steps, the better. When she was tired from walking, she would lie down on the wicker chair. After lying down, she fell asleep again.

I don't know how long I had slept, but I seemed to hear someone talking loudly outside, and Xiao Qing was woken up.

"Is Xiao Yuniang at home?" The voice was friendly and lively.

However, this sound made Xiao Qing wake up completely. This was Qi Dazhen, the daughter-in-law of Zhang Youlai from the same village. This Qi Dazhen was quite famous, but not a good one, because she said that she did not care about human ethics and just wanted to give her money to buy a pair of shoes.

, please eat fish, she would propose marriage to someone, and it was up to the two families to decide whether it was suitable. The most unethical thing was that she once proposed marriage to a girl in the same village whose father and mother had died, and she became famous because of it.

In this village of nearly a hundred miles, there is no one who does not know her name.

The original owner knew that she didn't care about human relations, and didn't ask about the age of the victim, whether he was suitable, or whether there were any rules. As long as he gave her money for shoes, drank matchmaking wine, and ate a big fish, she did it. The original owner approached her and took the initiative.

Find this marriage for Qiao Yu.

He also promised her that he would go to the county town to buy her a pair of cloth shoes and a big fish as a gift after she accomplished the task.
