Chapter 72

In an open space some distance away from the cliff, three kids stood in a row and were being scolded by Su He.

“Who was the first one to rush up and hug my legs just now?” Su He asked with a stern face.

This was the first time she spoke in such a stern tone since she woke up.

Ji Liangchuan looked at Niu Niu, then walked up and said, “Aunt Su, I was the first to go forward.”

Niu Niu was afraid that her former mother had come back, and her face turned pale with fright.

Su He sighed, not knowing whether he believed Ji Liangchuan or not.

She didn’t want to scare the kids, so she said, “Didn’t I just tell you to stand still and wait for me? That’s the edge of a cliff, not a safe place. What if you fall down? Let me ask again, who went forward first?”

Only a “wow” was heard, and it was Niu Niu crying.

“Mom, I’m sorry. I was the one who hugged your legs first. I was so scared that something would happen to you. I’m sorry, Mom.”

Su He felt distressed seeing her daughter crying because of her fear again.

She sighed and walked to Niu Niu, touched her head gently, and said, “Mom is not blaming you, I just hope that when you encounter danger, you will protect yourself first.” But

Niu Niu didn’t think she was wrong. She raised her head stubbornly. The daughter who had been a little confused all the time looked at Su He seriously at this time and did not agree with her words.

“But Mom, I also want to protect you. I don’t want you to get hurt or be in danger.”

Su He felt his chest tighten as if something hit his heart.

Yes, she had always treated them as children and villains in novels, always wanting to change the trajectory of their lives and make them act according to her own ideas.

Little do people know that although they are two children over three years old, they are also two independent personalities with their own characters and ideas.

If she really controlled their lives in the name of doing good for them, and made them grow up according to her own ideas, then would such a life still be considered their life?

Moreover, she has always been determined to shape the two children’s personalities into sunny and kind ones. Now that they are so worried about their mother’s safety, why should she take away their kindness and innocence?

So she immediately hugged Niu Niu into her arms, and then comforted her: “You are a good child, and it is mom’s fault. Mom wants to protect you, and of course you want to protect me. Mom will change in the future, I’m sorry.”

Niu Niu stayed in Su He’s arms without saying a word. Su He asked again: “Niu Niu, can you forgive mom?”

Su He smiled with satisfaction when he felt the little girl in his arms nodded at him.

She looked at the other two little boys who were standing there in a daze, smiled at them, and comforted them, “You two are great, and very brave.”

But what happened today caused a huge wave in Ji Liangchuan’s heart.

It turns out that adults can also say sorry to children.

In their family, children must listen to the adults.

They have always treated their military compound as if they were at home, devoted to following orders and then executing them.

But Aunt Su doesn’t educate the child like his parents. Aunt Su is so gentle and always makes him feel warm.

But when his parents do something wrong, they never think they are wrong, and never apologize to him.

This time he was sent to his grandmother’s house because he had a fight with the kid next door in the compound, and then when he got home his parents scolded him without any reason.

He felt very aggrieved, it was clearly not his fault.

Later, his father kept asking him to go next door and apologize to the person who had fought with him. When he refused to go, he was sent to his grandmother’s house.

His mother meant that the conditions here are difficult, and that he should experience how difficult it is to live in poor areas, so that he will be obedient in the future.

But after he came here, he met Niu Niu, Zi Zi and Aunt Su, and he was so happy.

He doesn’t feel it’s hard here at all, and he wants to continue staying here.

If only he could be Aunt Su’s child. Ji Liangchuan didn’t want to go back to that cold home at all.

However, he only dared to think about it in his mind and definitely did not dare to speak his thoughts out loud.

If Zizi knew that he was trying to steal his mother from him, he would definitely not take him out to play anymore.

When we went down the mountain, the atmosphere returned to its original relaxed and cheerful state.

Su He was carrying a bundle of firewood and walking behind the kids.

“Mom, can we stir-fry mushrooms tonight?”

Niu Niu started chattering again, as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness that had just happened.

The little girl doesn’t remember anything, but she remembers what she ate.

Until now, the kids didn’t remember asking Su He what he was looking for on the cliff.

“Okay, do you want to eat dumplings?” Su He suddenly asked.

It seems like she has been here for so long, but she hasn’t made dumplings for the kids yet.

Ji Liangchuan had eaten dumplings before, and he didn’t think they were delicious. But when he thought about it, since they were made by Su He, they should be different from those made by others, right?

So they answered, “I want to eat.”

For Zizi and Niuniu, no matter what their mother cooks, it will be delicious and there is no way it won’t be delicious.

They had never eaten dumplings, but they thought they must be good.

After coming down the mountain and returning home, it was already past four o’clock and I could prepare dinner again.

For this time’s dumpling fillings, Su He plans to make three kinds of fillings: pure meat filling, egg and leek filling, and mushroom and vegetable filling.

Put the firewood in the backyard and let it dry in the sun for a while before using it, then go to the vegetable garden to pick green vegetables, leeks and chopped green onions for later use.

When Ji Liangchuan saw the large vegetable garden in the backyard of Su He’s house, he couldn’t help but exclaimed “Wow”.

“Aunt Su, are these all the vegetables grown by you, Zizi and Niuniu?” Ji Liangchuan asked curiously.

At this time, the vegetables in this vegetable garden are at their peak, and all kinds of vegetables have grown and are edible.

“Yes, we planted it together with mom.” Before Su He could reply, Niu Niu became proud first.

“If you want to come to our house in the future, you don’t have to worry about not having food to eat.” Zizi also answered seriously.

When Su He prepared the ingredients and was about to make dumplings, Zhuangzhuang and a group of children from the Fu family broke into Su He’s house.

“Aunt, aunt!”

As soon as Su He heard the call, he hurried out to see.

“What’s wrong, Zhuangzhuang?”

Looking at a group of kids standing at the door of his house, Su He thought something had happened.

“Aunt, where did you go just now? We wanted to come to your house to play, but no one is home.” Zhuangzhuang replied.

“Niuniu and Zaizai’s friends came to visit our home, so I took them to the mountain to play.”

Su He’s answer made the other kids envious. At this time, the three kids in the house also came out.

Ji Liangchuan looked at Zhuangzhuang, Niu Niu and others standing outside the door, feeling a little overwhelmed.

He is a very slow-to-warm-up kid and not very popular among his peers.

But Zhuangzhuang ran up to Ji Liangchuan and said, “Are you Zizi and Niuniu’s good friend? Then you will be our good friend from now on.”

Ji Liangchuan:…Are you so familiar?
