Chapter 7

“Sister Nuannuan, you have to avenge me!”

As the two were talking, they saw Shuangxi running into the yard angrily with her two pigtails swinging.

“What happened again?”

Wu Xiaoying felt a headache looking at her daughter who had been painted like a little cat again. The little girl didn’t behave like a little girl. She just ran around all day long. How would she find a husband in the future?

Shuangxi pouted and started to complain, “I will never play with Xinghua again! I told her that Sister Nuannuan is prettier than her sister, but she insisted that her sister is prettier! It’s obviously Sister Nuannuan who is prettier! I will never give her candy again!”

The two thought it was no big deal, and when they heard this, they laughed at the same time.

“Xinghua has never met your sister Nuannuan, so she will definitely side with her sister. Why are you arguing with her?”

Shuangxi rolled his eyes and said to Xiang Nuan, “Sister Nuan Nuan, come with me to Xinghua’s house and compete with her sister. Let her learn some new things!”

“What are you comparing? You’re the only one who has too many things to do. Go wash your hands and face. It’ll be dinner time soon!”

The little brat doesn’t know anything and just comes up with whatever he wants.

“snort!”

Shuangxi crossed his arms angrily.

Xiang Nuan smiled and coaxed, “At this time, they are busy eating. There will be plenty of opportunities to see them in the future.”

Shuangxi pouted in disappointment, “Okay~”

Yan Mancang came in just as the meal was ready. At the table, Wu Xiaoying asked him, “How many people did you pick up this time?”

Yan Mancang slurped a mouthful of corn porridge and replied to her, “There are more this time, four, two girls and two boys. The girls have been arranged to stay at Xinghua’s house first, and Dahai has taken the boys back.”

Wu Xiaoying nodded, “Well, that’s quite a lot, will there be more in the future?”

“It should be indispensable.”

When Xiang Nuan heard that the girl was arranged to live in Xinghua’s house, she felt something in her mind.

At night, after she had finished packing and lay down on the kang, she pinched Shuangxi’s little nose and said, “Shuangxi, didn’t you want me to go to Xinghua’s house? I agreed.”

“Really?!” Shuangxi fluttered his feet with joy like a carp that had just come ashore. “Don’t worry, Sister Nuannuan. You will definitely be better than Sister Xinghua.”

Xiang Nuan chuckled, “I can go, but you can’t say who is prettier. Didn’t you say Xinghua’s sister isn’t as pretty as me? If we go and just say it’s a beauty contest, it will be so embarrassing for others.

Aren’t you and Xinghua good friends? This will hurt our feelings.”

She mainly wanted to meet the heroine because she was too curious.

Shuangxi blinked and thought it made sense. “Okay, then what should I say?”

“Just say we’re going to play with them.”

“Okay! Then let’s go to the river to catch crickets together tomorrow! Sister Nuannuan, I’m really good at it! I’ll catch some for you to eat!”

“Okay! I haven’t eaten it yet.”

Xiang Nuan didn’t know what she was talking about, but she didn’t let it spoil her fun. Anyway, she didn’t have to work in the fields for the next two days, so she could relax for a rare time.

“Let my mother cook for you. My mother’s cooking is delicious. She also has stewed fish…”

This girl is really good at talking. She keeps babble non-stop. Xiang Nuan finds it interesting and will respond with a few words from time to time.

The old couple in the east room were also chatting. With the sudden appearance of this new person in the family, the couple had to have a heart-to-heart talk.

“That’s the thing. I want Nuan Nuan to live in our house forever. Is that okay with you?”

Wu Xiaoying first told Yan Mancang about the relationship between herself and Xiang Nuan, and then expressed her own thoughts.

Yan Mancang frowned, “Outsiders don’t know your relationship. When the youth education center is ready, everyone else will move there but she won’t go, and she’ll live in our house. Wouldn’t that attract more attention to her?”

“What should we do? Nuan Nuan will definitely not be able to adapt to living with so many people. She has had a good life since she was a child and has a gentle personality. What should we do if someone bullies her?”

Yan Mancang smiled helplessly upon hearing this, “If you ask me, you are just worrying too much. I don’t think the child is as useless as you say. Besides, the child is right under your nose. No one dares to bully him with you protecting him.”

Wu Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him and said, “That’s not as safe as living at home.”

“Don’t worry about that old woman. She’s not young anymore, and it’s time for her to grow up and take care of the family affairs. Can you still protect her for the rest of her life?

Will you also be in charge of finding a husband in the future?”

Wu Xiaoying clapped her hands, “What you said reminds me, you said that if Nuan Nuan comes, we don’t know when we can go back, and we don’t have any relatives or elders when we go back. We can’t find one in the village, right? How can we be worthy of her here!

Oh, it’s so frustrating! “

“Alright, alright, stop worrying about that. We have just arrived. Things will work out when the time comes. Go to sleep and turn off the lights.”

Yan Mancang turned over and didn’t want to listen to her nagging about these nonsense. This daughter-in-law is good in every way except that she worries too much.

Wu Xiaoying raised her foot and kicked him on the butt before blowing out the light and going to sleep.

Shuangxi always remembered to take Xiang Nuan to compete with Xinghua’s sister for beauty, and the next day after breakfast he couldn’t wait to pull her out.

“Sister Nuannuan, the one in front is Xinghua’s house!”

After they had walked for less than five or six minutes, Shuangxi pointed at the house in front of them and shouted excitedly.

“Apricot blossom! Apricot blossom!”

“Here it comes!”

Xinghua was still angry, but when she heard her shouting, she ran out out of habit, and when she came out she felt a little regretful.

“Why are you here?”

After she finished speaking, she saw Xiang Nuan standing next to Shuangxi. Could this person be the sister Nuan Nuan that Shuangxi mentioned? She is really pretty. What should I do? My sister is not as pretty as her!

Thinking of this, the little face that was originally pretending to be indifferent instantly fell.

Shuangxi, the clever little boy, instantly became proud when he saw her expression. Now you know how beautiful my sister Nuannuan is, right?

However, the little girl remembered what Xiang Nuan said last night and did not embarrass her good friend, but answered her question with a smile.

“Sister Nuannuan and I are here to play with you. Shall we go catch some cicadas?”

Xinghua laughed again when she heard this, “Okay! Wait for me, I’ll go get the basket!”

“Give me one too, I forgot to take one.”

I was so focused on competing for beauty that I forgot to bring my weapons.

“good.”

“Xinghua, what are you doing?”

When Xinghua’s sister Taohua saw her running out with the basket, she asked her.

“Shuangxi asked me to go to the river to catch cicadas!”

“Catching cicadas?” Taohua turned her head and looked at the two new educated youths beside her. “Gu Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, do you want to go? It’s a good opportunity for me to take you to get familiar with our village.”

“OK!”

The two female educated youth were both young girls in their teens. They were feeling quite bored at home, so they nodded and agreed immediately after hearing what she said.

Xiang Nuan stood in the yard and watched the four people coming out of the house. She guessed at a glance that the round-faced girl in the middle wearing a white floral shirt should be the heroine Gu Wenshu.

Don’t be fooled by her weak appearance like a little white flower, she is actually an iron lady, she can do any job and learn anything quickly, otherwise how can she be the heroine. It is this point that attracted Yang Bin, after all, the original owner was not only good-looking, but also too delicate, Yang Bin had seen too many such people and was not interested.

After getting to know each other, the few of them carried their baskets and walked towards the river in the village. They were all of the same age, so they quickly became familiar with each other while talking and laughing.

Before reaching the river, she saw two men in the distance. Xiang Nuan squinted her eyes and took a closer look, and found that one of them was Yang Bin.

Yang Bin and the others also heard the laughter behind them, turned their heads and looked over here, and obviously recognized Xiang Nuan.
