It’s actually not very strange that the stepmother’s family appears here.
The village where the Qiao family lives, Bishui Village, is separated from Liujin Village by two mountains.
The villagers of Liujin Village wanted to flee to escape the war, and naturally the people of Bishui Village did the same.
It's just that the people in the two villages have never been able to deal with each other very well due to some historical reasons. When they escaped from famine, they took different routes.
Mei Qingyao didn't expect that after traveling for so many days, people from the two villages would actually reach the same destination.
Mei Qingyao hid in the small cave and said nothing.
When there was absolutely no movement outside, Mei Qingyao slipped out of the cave and ran straight to the place where they camped and rested.
Qiao Huaping saw Mei Qingyao running around from behind the mountain wall and running towards them from a distance, and then his slightly frowning brows slowed down.
She still held the bow in her hand and planned to look for Mei Qingyao's.
Fortunately, Mei Qingyao, although this child is reckless, is not the kind of child that makes people worry when he runs around.
When Qiao Huaping saw Mei Qingyao coming back, he didn't say much. He put the longbow back on their cart and prepared to go to the village to teach others archery.
As a result, Mei Qingyao felt a little weird and stopped her awkwardly.
Qiao Huaping: "?"
Mei Qingyao pursed her lips tightly, her small chin tightened, and her hands subconsciously clenched the small bow Qiao Huaping made for them.
He said in a low voice: "I saw your family."
Qiao Huaping: “??”
Mei Qingyao closed her eyes and shouted: "If you want to go with them, I won't stop you!"
Qiao Huaping: "???"
No, kid, what are you talking about?
Why is there still a vague sense of "leave, and don't come back after you leave!", a bit of a bloody drama?
Fortunately, Qiao Huaping's mind works very quickly.
After a brief moment of astonishment, she thought she understood.
This child probably saw the original owner’s natal family somewhere.
Then she made up a painful scene in her mind where she wanted to leave with her family and leave them alone?
Qiao Huaping almost laughed out loud!
She stretched out her hand and flicked Mei Qingyao's head gently but not hard with her slender fingers.
Mei Qingyao covered her head, looking innocent and confused.
Qiao Huaping felt soft in her heart after seeing it.
The tendons in this little guy’s brain are really straight!
She directly stretched out her arm, bent it around Mei Qingyao's neck, and directly hugged Mei Qingyao's neck and pulled him over.
Mei Qingyao was stunned!
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Huaping said with a smile, "What do you mean you have seen my family? My family members are you, aren't they?"
Mei Qingyao thought to himself, I am a dignified eight-year-old man, but my stepmother hugged my neck, how unbecoming it is!
How decent it is!
However, his face turned slightly red.
From the neck, all the way to the ears are red.
Because of Qiao Huaping's actions.
Also because, Qiao Huaping said, her family members are them.
…
Qiao Huaping kneaded Mei Qingyao for a while, then went to do business.
The main thing was to find the village chief and tell him that the people from Bishui Tun were nearby, and their family met Yaoyao.
This matter is neither big nor small.
The village chief thought about it and finally came up with a charter - that is, to remain unchanged and adapt to changes.
Although the two villages are not easy to deal with, they are not enemies either.
What the village chief thought was that although it would be inconvenient for us to travel together at that time, it would still be okay to exchange information with each other anyway.
But the village chief did not expect that when they set out in the afternoon, they would still bump into people from Bishui Tun.
The occasion of the collision was coincidental - the people in their village had gone into the woods to try their luck, even if they came back from hunting a chicken or something. As a result, their accuracy was not very good and they missed the running hare.
The arrow shot deeper into the forest and hit the arm of the man from Bishui Village.
Although the bow was not very powerful, their skills in bending the bow and exerting force were learned from Qiao Huaping. This time, the arms of the people in Bishui Village were bruised!
When the two groups met, they found that they looked familiar to each other.
After chatting with each other again, I found that we are indeed fellow villagers - Liujin Village and Bishui Village are both from a mountainous area, so aren't they fellow villagers?
Because of this coincidence, people from Liujin Village and Bishui Village gathered together.
The two villages are not far apart, and there are some in-laws who are getting married and so on.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I recounted the past with surprise and emotion.
The village chief of Liujin Village and the village chief of Bishui Village gathered together, apparently discussing something.
Qiao Huaping clearly felt that the Mei family's children were a little nervous.
Especially Mei Qingying, clinging to her legs and tugging at the corners of her clothes, almost becoming her pendant.
Qiao Huaping was dumbfounded.
Although I am very touched by the attachment of the cubs to her, but...
She stretched out her hand to grab Mei Qingying's collar, lifted the little girl up, and carried her to her, staring at her with big eyes.
"Yingbao, if you hold my legs like this, I can't even walk." Qiao Huaping said helplessly, "Mom won't leave, really."
Mei Qingying blinked her long eyelashes, not saying bad, but not saying good either.
Qiao Huaping sighed deeply - now that she was closer, she found that her daughter was even cuter!
Chew Mi!
Qiao Huaping couldn't help but smack Mei Qingying on the face.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled sweetly at Qiao Huaping.
The old mother Qiao Huaping's heart melted.
What are we going to do?
Give her gold, silver and jewelry and she won’t change them!
"Third sister!"
An unhappy voice sounded. The owner of the voice stood about two or three feet away from the Mei family, and said rather domineeringly: "Mom, let me call you over!"
Qiao Huaping glanced at the man.
She is a girl wearing clean clothes and a red ribbon on her head.
She is very handsome, but her demeanor is arrogant and impatient.
Qiao painted a picture of the memory of the original owner of Balabala, oh, this is the original owner’s maiden sister.
Qiao Huaping glanced at his cub again.
If he could imitate small animals, Qiao Huaping believed that the fur of several cubs in the Mei family would have exploded right now.
Qiao Huaping was not very happy either.
She was cultivating a relationship with her daughter, and the Qiao family members really disturbed the atmosphere by jumping out!
Qiao Huaping put down Mei Qingying in his hand, bent down and patted the little girl's butt gently: "Go to your brother's side."
Mei Qingying firmly hugged Qiao Huaping's thigh.
Qiao Huaping: "..."
She picked up the little girl's collar again, and this time put the little girl directly into Mei Qingyao's arms.
Mei Qingyao hugged her sister and stared at her: "Didn't you say you wouldn't leave?"
The words of the eight-year-old man contained a hint of grievance that he was not even aware of.
Mei Qingyu and Mei Qinghuang didn't speak, but the looks in their eyes were more or less aggrieved.
Qiao Huaping's mind unexpectedly popped up with several aggrieved puppies squatting there and looking at her with wet eyes.
