Seeing that Zhang Nan had stopped, Fu Xin quickly reached out and told her to quiet down, afraid that she would attract Jiang Xinyuan’s attention. Then, she whispered, “I stabbed my foot.”
Zhang Nan was speechless. She had never seen a mother so afraid of children. Then she thought about how Jiang Xinyuan was so clingy to Fu Xin. He might not leave for the rest of the day. However, when she saw Fu Xin bend down to pick up the carving knife from the ground, she was also speechless. “I’m really impressed that you can cut your feet. Even if you want to cut, shouldn’t you cut your hands?”
Fu Xin chuckled. “It’s normal.”
Zhang Nan: “But you’re wearing sneakers. How did you cut your foot?”
Fu Xin gestured roughly. “The pants weren’t thick. I just pricked the pants at the ankle and cut it.”
Zhang Nan was speechless again. Guo Na heard the commotion and came over.
“How is it? Is the wound deep? Let’s disinfect it first. Is it bleeding?”
“No need.” Fu Xin shook her head. “I took a look. It’s just a scratch. There’s no bleeding. It’s fine.”
“Why don’t you dare to let your son know? Are you afraid that he will stick to you?” Zhang Nan asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Fu Xin couldn’t help but sigh. “Sigh… you don’t know. When I was cooking yesterday, I almost blew up the kitchen. Then this morning, he taught himself to cook noodles for me.”
Zhang Nan saw that Fu Xin’s tone seemed to be regretful, but the expression on her face made her want to hit someone. She spat. “Go ahead and show off!”
“I’m serious. If he finds out that I’m injured…” Fu Xin lowered her head and started carving. However, halfway through her sentence, she was poked by Guo Na’s elbow. She looked up and saw that Jiang Xinyuan had already entered.
Under normal circumstances, Fu Xin’s voice was not loud and Jiang Xinyuan would definitely not be able to hear it in the courtyard. However, when Fu Xin saw Jiang Xinyuan running over nervously, she knew that something was wrong.
“Mom, are you hurt?”
Fu Xin was speechless.
Actually, Jiang Xinyuan only knew that Fu Xin was injured when he heard the bad woman gloating in her heart. Fortunately, his mother had been talking with her head lowered and did not notice him coming. She was also talking about her injury. Otherwise, he would not know how to care about his mother.
Fu Xin did not know about this. She only thought that Jiang Xinyuan happened to come over and heard her. She lifted her pants to reassure him. “Look, it’s just a little cut. There’s no blood. It’s really fine.”
Jiang Xinyuan still wanted to speak, but Fu Xin stopped him on the spot. “I know what you’re going to say! But engraving is Mom’s job. Your job is done. You’re not allowed to snatch it. This knife is very sharp, and engraving requires strength. You’re too young, and your hands are too tender. It’s easy to hurt your hands.”
Jiang Xinyuan understood that his mother would not let him interfere in this matter. He could only tell her to be careful and wanted to continue accompanying his mother, but she still coaxed him to go to the courtyard.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time to hand in the homework. It was considered calm. The parents brought the ingredients to the village chief’s house.
Fu Xin continued to chop firewood. Chen Xiaomei was still the head chef, and the other three mothers helped her. The other four children gathered and played together, while Jiang Xinyuan appeared in the kitchen. He was no longer as afraid of Chen Xiaomei as before.
Seeing that Chen Xiaomei was about to start cooking the first dish, he asked innocently, “Aunt Chen, do you know how to use the village chief’s kitchenware now?”
“Damn it, little b*tch, are you deliberately finding fault with me? I clearly cooked according to Chen Xiaomei’s memory. Why isn’t it as delicious as hers? Yesterday, I could say that I wasn’t familiar with the kitchen utensils. Today, before I could think ofa way to say it, this b*tch came to annoy me. I really want to kill him with a knife. ”
Jiang Xinyuan was not afraid at all. With so many people watching, the bad woman would not dare to touch him. He continued to look at Chen Xiaomei with his black eyes, waiting for her to answer.
Chen Xiaomei smiled insincerely and said, “Then try it later and give Auntie an evaluation, how about that?”
Jiang Xinyuan smiled and nodded. “Okay.” Hearing the evil woman’s crazy curses, he was a little happy. She was obviously very angry, but she could not
do anything to him. He thought that he had become evil too. Mom liked good babies, not bad babies. Thinking of this, he immediately retracted his happy mood.
He stayed in the kitchen because he wanted to learn how to cook. Chen Xiaomei’s food was not particularly delicious, it was just ordinary home-cooked food. He wanted to learn and cook for his mother at night.
The guests finished their simple lunch. As for the taste, how should they put it? This time, with the mothers’ advance warning, no children said that it was not delicious.
After a short lunch break, everyone arrived at their posts at two in the afternoon..
