"I'm not angry." Du Xuan said as she made cuts on the fish that had been cut open and washed. She could tell that the child hoped that her relationship with Qi Yan would be better.

But this is probably unlikely.

Du Xuan didn't want to lie to deal with the child, so she could only distract him, "I went to the county today and bought you some pine nut candies."

"Pine nut candies!" Xiaobao was very surprised, "For me?"

"Well, it's wrapped in oil paper on the table in the room. Look for it carefully. If you can find it, I'll allow you to have a piece before meals. If you can't find it, you can only eat it tomorrow. Children can't eat it at night.

If you eat sweets, your teeth will get damaged."

Du Xuan's words made Xiaobao eager to try, and he fumbled around to find the candy.

She heard the movement at the courtyard door earlier, and the man went out again, and she didn't know where he went.

Du Xuan didn't care much either. She steamed the rice in the earthen pot.

Fry the fish in a pot over low heat until golden brown on both sides, add water and bring to a boil over high heat, then add some small and tender mushrooms and stew together.

She bought the mushrooms that Wang Mazi had not sold at a very cheap price. The mushrooms were fresh and tender, and they were already fragrant after being stewed for a while.

Then an open fire was lit outside the kitchen, and the fish impaled with wooden sticks was placed beside the fire and slowly roasted.

Then he turned back to the kitchen, poured out the mushroom and fish soup, and freed up the pot to stew Shan Rui. He was as busy as a spinning top.

Just as Shan Rui was stewed, there was a movement outside.

"Who?" Xiaobao's voice sounded alert, "Do you want to steal our things?"

As soon as Du Xuan walked out, she saw Du Rong squatting sneakily beside the fire. The fish standing beside the fire was already in her hand.

The expression on Du Rong's face was ugly, and she stared at Xiaobao fiercely, "I'm your aunt! What's wrong with eating something from your house? How can you call it a thief?! Why is such a little kid talking so ugly? Does he really have a father?

The little bastard taught by my mother..."

"Seven cents a piece." Du Xuan stood by the kitchen door, looked at Du Rong coldly, and interrupted Du Rong's mouthful of feces.

"What seven cents..." Du Rong said and realized, turning to glare at Du Xuan, "You actually want me to give you money?!"

"Look to the sky." Du Xuan said.

Du Rong didn't know why, so she actually raised her head and looked at the sky, "What are you looking at?"

"Look if there are any fish falling from the sky... Nonsense! Of course I want you to give me money, my fish didn't fall from the sky!" Du Xuan stepped forward, snatched the fish back from Du Rong's hand and held it on fire

Continue to bake.

Du Rong was so angry that she didn't even have time to curse.

Du Xuan came over and said, "You have a father and a mother. My family can't open the pot. You still want to come and eat for free. You are so shameless. I will have to publicize it to you in the village later."

"How dare you!" Du Rong stared with stern eyes, looking very ferocious.

The original owner was very afraid of Du Rong's anger. In the past, when Du Rong glared at her, the original owner would not dare to speak, but Du Xuan was not afraid.

Du Xuan looked at her with a half-smile but said, "What am I afraid of? You'd better talk about something if you have something to say. Don't delay my cooking."

"You didn't stop Wang Mazi today. My mother and I hadn't even gotten in the car, and the car actually left!"

Du Rong was very angry, and Wang Mazi went too far. Du Xuan was not a good person either. Her family hadn't even gotten on the bus yet, so she didn't stop her!

"Do you know how hard it was for me and my mother to walk back?"

"Of course I know." Du Xuan looked at Du Rong coldly, "When I went to the county in the past, when did I not walk back and forth? Is this what you came to talk to me about?"

Du Rong was a little embarrassed. In the past, her family always let Du Xuan go to the county. She had never been allowed to ride in a car, and sometimes she had to carry heavy burdens.

Du Rong had a dry expression, but her tone was matter-of-fact, "My mother came to see you for something. Her feet hurt when she came back, so she asked you to come over."

"No time." Du Xuan refused without hesitation.

"What?!"

"I said I didn't have time." Du Xuan frowned and looked at her, "Don't you see how busy I am? The child is still waiting to eat. If she comes to me with something, just let her do it by herself."

Du Rong was so angry that she stamped her feet vigorously, "You are so impressive! Just wait for me!"

Du Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and just waved her hand like a fly.

Du Rong stormed away angrily. Not far after he walked out, he saw a tall man walking towards him.

The sky was a little dark, but it was still not difficult to see his handsome face.

Du Rong looked a little crazy, but soon shook her head vigorously, and secretly spat, what's the use of being good-looking! Aren't you a fool?!

After Du Rong left, Du Xuan took Xiaobao to wash her hands. As soon as she finished washing, she saw a tall figure coming in from the courtyard door with steady steps.

This elusive hunter didn't know what he was doing just now... Du Xuan was just thinking this when she saw him walking towards her with a maroon-colored earthen bottle in his hand.

As soon as Xiaobao heard the footsteps, he knew it was Qi Yan who was back, "Dad is back!"

Du Xuan looked at him with a somewhat wary look.

Qi Yan handed her the bottle without saying a word, then turned around and entered the house.

Du Xuan opened the cork and smelled it. It was medicinal oil. I don't know where he got it. She can apply it to Xiaobao's bruises later. Although this man has low trust in her, he still treats Xiaobao.

Not bad.

Du Xuan originally planned to eat with Xiaobao in the kitchen to save trouble, but after thinking about it, she divided the food and brought it to the room.

In the house, Qi Yan was concentrating on cutting branches into a pointed shape, which he used as simple arrows. He had already cut a small pile.

When he saw her coming in, he raised his eyes and remained silent. He just silently took the things away from the table and cleared the table.

Du Xuan put all the food on the table, asked Xiaobao to sit down with him at the table, and then turned around and walked out.

Neither of them touched the food on the table, but they didn't wait until she came in.

Xiaobao couldn't help but ask, "Where's my wife?"

Qi Yan frowned, got up and walked to the door of the house to look, and saw her sitting on a low stool in the kitchen with her back to the door, eating quietly by herself with a small bowl in her hands.

He returned to the house, where Xiaobao was stretching his neck to look around. When he heard his father walking in, he asked, "Dad, where is mom?"

"She is in the kitchen, eating by herself." Qi Yan said in a low voice.

Xiaobao's expression showed a bit of disappointment and he said, "Mom must be angry with you."

Qi Yan pursed her thin lips tightly and served Xiaobao rice in silence.

His mind was not clear and he did not understand the uncomfortable feeling that flashed through his heart.

However, the meals on the table that originally made him very appetizing seemed to suddenly become less attractive.

Du Xuan was quite comfortable in the kitchen, but now she was afraid that she would suffer from indigestion if she had to eat at the same table as Qi Yan.

After all, the stab wound on the neck has not healed, and there is another bruise on the shoulder and back. Even if intellectually it is clear that it was the original owner who was responsible for the sin and that he is to blame, emotionally he still feels aggrieved.

And she still couldn't vent her anger on them. What could she do with a child who couldn't see and a fool who didn't have a clear mind?

Fortunately, the person who made her vent her anger came quickly.

"Du Xuan! Where are you? Aren't you very capable? You dare to ask me to come here in person. I'm here, where are you!"
