Chapter 43: Did you wake up and look in the mirror?
Qiao Huaping's heart moved slightly, and he tilted his head and looked over with a half-smile.
Mei Qingyu squatted there, a small one, but he looked as serious as a young adult. He was obviously talking seriously to Qiao Huaping: "——You really used snakes to scare people."
There was no one else around at the moment, and Qiao Huaping didn't hide anything from this smart little kid.
"You're right." She admitted directly without the slightest hint of embarrassment after being exposed, and she even smiled, "Actually, I didn't do it to scare Mrs. Gao - she was scared, and I will always let her be with me.
I have to endure some hardships on my hands. Otherwise, I won’t be able to think clearly.”
Mei Qingyu squatted there, turning his head and looking intently at the little stepmother who had abused their four brothers and sisters again and again.
No wonder she whispered to them after dinner, telling them to wait, and she would be fair to them soon.
——She had planned all this long ago.
Mei Qingyu muttered something, patted the grass blades that might be on his butt, stood up and left.
Qiao Huaping heard clearly what the little guy thought he muttered in a low voice - it's not bad to have such a mother.
Qiao Huaping couldn't help but grin!
Stars were like buckets. In the dark night, Qiao Huaping opened his eyes alertly and found that Mei Qinghuang was asleep again and came over.
This time, his little hands hugged her arm tightly, refusing to let go without saying anything.
Qiao Huaping tried to twitch, but Mei Qinghuang looked short and not strong, but her hands were quite strong.
Qiao Huaping was also worried that it would be troublesome to wake up the child directly.
She stared at the little guy's head for a while, and thought to herself, forget it, she is the eldest child alone, and she is a little out of place with the little brat.
Especially since this little kid is our own.
Qiao Huaping let out a sigh of relief and let Mei Qinghuang sleep soundly on her arm.
Soon, Qiao Huaping looked at the starry sky and gradually fell asleep.
"Ah!" A small exclamation woke Qiao Huaping up.
The exclamation was very short, and as soon as you heard it, you knew that it had just come out and you immediately reacted and covered your mouth, blocking the cry in your throat.
But Qiao Huaping was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.
It's still some time before dawn, and even the little daughter-in-law, who got up the earliest and wants to cook for the whole family, hasn't gotten up yet.
It was Mei Qingyao - he stood on the side of the linoleum cloth with a somewhat dazed look on his face. He was dumbfounded when he saw Mei Qinghuang sleeping affectionately and hugging Qiao Huaping's arm.
Qiao Huaping felt helpless and asked Mei Qingyao softly: "Why are you awake now?"
Mei Qingyao was still in a daze.
Third brother...when did he become so close to his stepmother?
"Yao Yao?" Qiao Huaping called softly again.
Mei Qingyao suddenly came back to his senses.
He was a little panicked and stammered: "...I, I'll get up and take a pee..."
He didn't react until he finished speaking, and his face turned red.
Qiao Huaping doesn't think "xiaojie" is a word that needs to be avoided.
She yawned briefly: "Go ahead and come back as soon as you're done urinating. You can still get some sleep."
Mei Qingyao's face was red, but fortunately the night gave him some cover, so he ran away as if he was running away.
Qiao Huaping squinted her eyes, but didn't fall asleep again.
Until Mei Qingyao's little figure came back, she closed her eyes again and fell asleep lightly.
The genius was bright, and the fleeing villagers of Liujin Village had already gotten up one after another.
Qiao Huaping is still the oldest in the family.
Mei Qinghuang's arms were still holding her tightly. Qiao Huaping thought of how this child usually avoided her and chuckled.
Forget it, there is still a lot of dry food in the space.
He was stung badly by a wasp yesterday, so it would be best to let him sleep a little longer today.
Qiao Huaping simply let Mei Qinghuang continue to sleep holding her arm.
It was still the second morning for Mei Qingyao to wake up for the whole family except Qiao Huaping.
He was in a daze, and while he was still waking up, he saw Mei Qinghuang sleeping soundly with Qiao Huaping's arm in his arms.
Mei Qingyao: "...!"
He was so shocked that he woke up instantly!
It turns out this was not a dream!
Some brothers apparently avoid the stepmother, but in fact! He is actually a baby who needs to hold the stepmother’s arm to sleep!
Mei Qingyao was in a complicated mood.
Qiao Huaping was not polite and ordered Mei Qingyao who woke up: "Yaoyao, build some firewood and boil water."
Mei Qingyao went to collect firewood and boil water in a complicated mood.
The second person to wake up was Mei Qinghuang himself.
When he opened his eyes and discovered that the arm of his mother, whom he had hugged all night long in his dream, turned out to be Qiao Huaping's arm, the whole little guy almost split!
The whole person was petrified!
Qiao Huaping finally withdrew his arm.
She moved for a while and glanced at the petrified Mei Qinghuang in a funny way. She was a little bit evil and deliberately complained in front of Mei Qinghuang: "My arms are so numb!"
In fact, Qiao Huaping's body was strengthened by spiritual water, which is simply trivial.
Qiao Huaping felt even happier when she saw Mei Qinghuang looking like she wanted to bury herself in the soil.
Mei Qingyao was boiling water, glancing at the linoleum cloth from time to time.
He saw that the third brother looked like he was about to burst into petrification, while the little stepmother next to him was smiling and obviously very happy.
Mei Qingyao:......
Qiao Huaping took out seven or eight wild eggs from the space under the guise of a belt.
In addition, he took out a goose egg that Old Man Cao paid for last night from the jar where the sundries were kept.
Put seven or eight wild eggs and one goose egg into the pot and cook for five or six minutes.
The slightly runny boiled eggs are ready!
Qiao Huaping took out the boiled wild eggs and goose eggs and let them cool.
After it cooled down, Qiao Huaping asked Mei Qingyao to look at the stove. She took a goose egg herself, thought about it, and then took a wild egg and went to the place where the Zhou family camped.
The place where the Zhou family camped was a little far away from the Mei family.
When Qiao Huaping passed by, the Zhou family happened to be eating.
Qiao Huaping quickly took a look into their bowls.
The two women, Song Yuelan and Zhou Xiaoqing, were holding a bowl of porridge so clear that it could almost reflect a person's face.
A bowl of water, a few grains of rice, and half a steamed bun.
This is what mother and daughter have for breakfast today.
In other people's bowls, at least half of the rice in the porridge was at the bottom of the bowl.
The wowotou in their hands was obviously bigger than those of Song Yuelan, Zhou Xiaoqing and her daughter.
There was even a bowl of custard in the hands of a four-year-old child from the Zhou family!
As soon as Qiao Huaping took a look at the egg custard, he knew it was steamed with goose eggs!
Mrs. Zhou Xu also saw Qiao Huaping, and she deliberately said loudly: "It's unlucky to be so early in the morning!"
Qiao Huaping didn't come to see Zhou Xu, she was too lazy to pay attention to this person.
But Song Yuelan and Zhou Xiaoqing's breakfast flashed through her mind. Qiao Huaping glanced at Zhou Xu and sneered: "Did you get up and look in the mirror?"
