Seeing Hu Xianzi showing a gratified smile on her face, Zhenniang also looked at him and smiled with satisfaction, as if a man's smile could make her feel happier.

She held Hu Xianzi's arm, and she looked like a most ordinary virtuous wife. She said softly: "Hulang, we have no children for many years. Since Xiu'er and Yue'er are the children of our younger brothers, let them live with us like our own children?"

Hu Xianzi nodded: "Okay, we should take good care of them for our younger brother. Thank you for your hard work." Although his voice was always light, he seemed to care about nothing, but his attitude was gentle.

Zhenniang was happy to see him willing to speak and took Xin Xiu and Lao Si to the village. They lived on a small hill and a separate courtyard. Although it was in the village, it was a bit far away from the houses of other villagers.

The cottage made of wood thatch and bamboo looks full of farming fun. The trees in front and behind the cottage are green, wild flowers are blooming on both sides of the stone road leading to the yard, butterflies are flying, and many bees are busy collecting honey. Xin Xiu looked at it and suddenly said, "Second aunt, is there anyone here to keep honey?"

Zhenniang looked back at her and smiled Rourou, "What's wrong, Xiu'er wants to eat honey?"

Xin Xiu: "No, I just suddenly remembered my teacher...my father likes to eat honey."

She paused, and then naturally changed the word "Master" to "Dad" blurted out, without even feeling something was wrong.

Hu Xianzi walked slowly on the stone steps. After hearing this, he said lightly: "I also remember that the twelfth brother does like to eat honey."

Seeing that he had been speaking actively, Zhen Niang was so happy that she seemed to have won the prize. She treated Xin Xiu and the others more kindly: "Since that's the case, we should also raise some bees and make some honey, and Xiu'er will eat as much as she wants."

She said, waved her hand, and more than a dozen beehives appeared out of thin air on the side of the road. Xin Xiu and the other two saw this scene, but no one felt something was wrong and they all took it for granted.

After entering the yard, Xin Xiu found that the yard was not big and the room was only enough for a couple to live in. However, the second aunt waved her hand and two more rooms were instantly set up next to the yard, with everything in the room.

Zhen Niang looked natural and greeted the two: "Children, come and have a look, do you like these two rooms?"

Xin Xiu had the illusion that she had entered the adoptive family, but as soon as this idea came out, she was surprised. What is the adoptive family? If you think about it carefully, all the previous thoughts were wiped away, and all the thoughts disappeared. I just felt that the room was clean and bright, and the windows behind could see a good view.

"I like this room, thank you second aunt, thank you second uncle."

The fourth brother also thanked her. He seemed a little inexplicably panic and could not find the source, so he followed closely behind the elder sister who made him feel safe, and he would do whatever Xin Xiu did.

Xin Xiu discovered that his second uncle was really not talkative. If he didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't see his eyes keeping gentle eyes on them, and he thought he wouldn't welcome them, their two nieces.

Zhenniang took them to see the room and clapped her hands, "By the way, Xiu'er and Yue'er just arrived, they should be hungry, aunt will go prepare the meal and entertain you now."

She pulled Hu Xianzi's hand, "Then Hu Lang, you chat with Xiu'er and Yue'er first, I'll come soon."

Hu Xianzi took Xin Xiu and the others to the living room, asked them to sit down, and pointed to the teacup on the table, "Tea."

Xin Xiu poured a cup for Lao Si bluntly, and then poured himself a cup. Gudong Gudong finished drinking it. The tea was sweet and the mouth was fragrant. I don’t know what kind of tea it was.

As soon as she looked up, she saw her second uncle still siping tea, quiet like a lady from a family.

"Second uncle."

Hu Xianzi gave her a puzzled look.

Xin Xiu: "...I feel like I have something wrong and want to ask my second uncle, but I can't remember it." She knocked on her forehead in distress.

Hu Xianzi: "Nothing happens, think about it slowly, and come and ask again when I think about it."

Xin Xiu thought it was right and was about to change the topic. She felt that she didn't speak. It was so quiet that it was a little embarrassed, so she smiled and asked, "By the way, my second uncle, this is the first time you have seen us. Is there a gift for you?"

She just said casually, but when the second uncle heard this, he looked abrupt and quickly stood up and walked out. Xin Xiu quickly pulled the fourth brother to follow him, ran to the kitchen door, and saw the second uncle asking the second aunt: "I forgot the meeting gift, what should I give to the meeting gift?"

The second aunt was also obviously stunned and wiped her hands with her apron, "Don't worry, I'll give you what you'll give me if I ask."

Xin Xiu turned her head and shrugged at the fourth child, coughed, and said loudly, "Second uncle and second aunt, I'm joking, no need!"

When the second aunt saw her, she smiled again, "What's the point, it was what she should have given."

She pushed Hu Xianzi and asked him to go out, "I will prepare, you can take Xiu'er and the others back and sit."

Not long after Xin Xiu and the other two returned to the living room, Zhen Niang brought five or six dishes with all kinds of colors, fragrance and flavor, five dishes and one soup, with rice, which was very standard. Xin Xiu's mind was unrestless: How did the second aunt cook the meal, it was too fast.

At an ordinary square table, four people sat down to have a meal.

The fourth brother: "It's delicious!"

Zhenniang picked up food for him: "If you eat more, eat more. You are so young, and some are still long."

The fourth brother: "But I think the dishes cooked by my elder sister are more delicious."

Xin Xiu kicked him under the table. Will this silly child speak?

Zhenniang didn't care and laughed out loud, "Is that so smart, Xiu'er can cook?"

Xin Xiu: "Yes, why not cook in the evening and let my second uncle and second aunt taste it?"

Zhenniang: "You have just come, how can you help you work hard?"

Hu Xianzi: "Okay."

After hearing what he said, Zhen Niang naturally changed her words: "Okay, if you need anything, Xiu'er just tells her second aunt directly."

The family had a warm and warm meal, and it seemed that they had been living in harmony for many years. They were completely harmonious and friendly to the family. After dinner, the second aunt gave them a red envelope, and several coins wrapped in red paper and red threads were stringed as a bracelet.

In the afternoon, their second uncle had to go to the village school to teach. He was the only teacher in the village. His second aunt sat under the window weaving cloth, and Xin Xiu took the fourth brother to the mountain behind.

The fourth brother: "Sister, what are we going to do?"

Xin Xiu took it for granted: "Go to hunt, get some wild game and go back to eat."

They entered the back mountain, and not long after they went up the mountain, they saw two rabbits jumping over and hitting and killing on the tree stump in front of them. The fourth brother happily picked up the two rabbits, "We are so lucky~"

Xin Xiu touched her chin, "I seemed to think of a word - wait for the rabbit."

The fourth brother grabbed his head in a daze, "Ah, what does it mean?"

Xin Xiu recalled her vague memory uncertainly: "It seems like a story of a stupid rabbit hitting her when she sat on a tree stump."

The fourth brother smiled happily: "Then let's wait a little longer, maybe there are other things besides rabbits! I want to eat pheasants!"

A fancy pheasant rushed out of the forest, hit a tree stump, and died on the spot.

The fourth brother: "Ah, it's so good, there are really pheasants!"

Xin Xiu looked at her brother's stupid look and fell into silence. Her mind told her that this was normal, but when she saw this scene, she still subconsciously wanted to type a string of ellipsis to express her unspeakable mood at this moment.

Xin Xiu: "…"

She looked at the sky and suddenly said seriously: "I still want to eat wild boars, that kind of tender little wild boar."

After a moment, a little wild boar with stripes rushed over and roared, hitting the stump, breaking the stump, and killing it, and a piece of ginseng appeared under the stump that was turned out.

The fourth brother: "Ah, we are so lucky!"

Xin Xiu: "…"

They stayed here for a short time and returned home with a full load. On the way, they encountered a bunch of wild mushrooms and picked up several nests of bird eggs.

Although I have only been here for a day, Xin Xiu has become accustomed to this phenomenon of what he wants. Anyone outside will be surprised when he sees it. In the eyes of people who are in this "paradise", it is extremely normal, and no one thinks it is wrong.

Xin Xiu used limited ingredients to make skewer hotpot and peeled bamboo sticks. When the second uncle came back and saw it, he suddenly said, "Your father likes to eat bamboo."

Xin Xiu was confused, reacted for a while before echoing: "Ah, yes, bamboo shoots."

Why can’t she help but think of a giant panda with a good feel when she talked about her father just now? What’s the relationship between the giant panda and her father Shen Tuyu?

Zhenniang, who was helping with the ingredients, stood up, "You want to eat bamboo shoots, so I'll dig a few back now."

Xin Xiu: "Ah, there are still bamboo shoots at this time?"

Zhenniang smiled: "Of course there is."

As expected, she brought back a basket of watery bamboo shoots.

The four of them gathered together to eat Chuanchuan hotpot. The second uncle and second aunt both expressed their affirmation and praise for her new cuisine, and swept away all the ingredients together. The small yard was filled with a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

After dinner, Xin Xiu and Lao Si went for a walk in the village to digest food. Lao Si held his stomach and followed Xin Xiu, sighing: "Sister, I think there are too few people and it's not enough to eat."

Xin Xiu: "Do you think there should be more people gathering together to eat? There are a lot of men, women, young and old?"

The fourth brother: "Yes, yes, how do you know, sister?"

Xin Xiu: "Because I felt so for a moment just now."

The night sky is brilliant and beautiful, and the fragrance of plants makes people relax. Xin Xiu and Lao Si relaxed unknowingly and yawned, "I'm sleepy, don't think about it anymore, go back to sleep."

...

Mr. Hu from Piyun Village has two more young men and women in his family, which are said to be his nieces and nephews. The villagers in Piyun Village have simple personalities, especially young people and a group of children, and soon become familiar with the new brother and sister.

The school does not attend classes every day, but also has holidays. Once the holidays are on, more than a dozen children in the school run around. Since they bumped into Xin Xiu playing with the fourth child in the open space, a group of children have played with them.

Xin Xiu stole paper and pen from Mr. Hu, who was majestic in the eyes of the children, and then took a group of children to chop bamboo and teach them how to make kites. After they finished, they pulled the kites and ran along the river one by one.

One holiday, and the second holiday was made, Xin Xiu took them to catch fish and shrimps. The third holiday, Xin Xiu took a group of children of big and small to play shuttlecocks, jump rope and hide and seek, and the whole village was swaying.

The second uncle never said anything about her crazy thing with her child, and the second aunt had no objection. Every evening, like other mothers in the village, she would prepare the meal and call them home to go home for dinner at home. Xin Xiu looked at the smoke from the cooking stove every day and knew that it was almost time to go back.

Day after day, the sun rises and the moon sets, and it begins again and again.

There are also some young people in the village, one of whom is a good at farming and hunting. He often passes by the open space where Xin Xiu takes the children to play. Every time he passes by, he looks at Xin Xiu with a red face. Xin Xiu notices his sight and turns his head to look at him. He quickly turns his head and leaves quickly.

There is a lotus pond in the village. On this day, Xin Xiu rarely sat alone by the lotus pond, holding her chin to look at the lotus flowers in the lotus pond. Han Cheng carried a load and passed by the nearby area.

"Are you watching lotus flowers?"

Xin Xiu: "Yes."

She glanced at the black-faced man, then turned his face red and lowered her head.

Han Cheng: "These lotus flowers can be picked."
