After breakfast, Cheng Xi looked at the weather outside and didn't want to go back to her room anymore. She then thought of going out for a stroll, and the sound of firecrackers came from outside from time to time, indicating that today was the new year. The hundred years old in Xu Sanlang's arms, who was listening to the firecrackers outside, also had a face full of yearning.
So, Cheng Xi followed Xu Sanlang and got up, and then said to Xu Sanlang who was at the side, "Let's go out for a while."
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, the hundred years old man in Xu Sanlang's embrace already stretched his head out excitedly and said, "Yes, yes." They were still a little afraid of the presence of the Xu Family Member s, so they didn't dare to be too loud.
Hearing Cheng Xi's words, Lady Lee, who was cleaning up the dishes, muttered curses in her mouth, "She's just a lazy little bitch. After eating, she doesn't even know how to help clean the bowls and chopsticks, and she doesn't know how to help work.
The Lady Lee's voice was not loud, but Cheng Xi was not far from the table, so she heard everything clearly. However, Cheng Xi was too lazy to bother with this person, if she wanted to curse, she could just curse.
had already pulled Xu Sanlang's arm, and two people and a child walked towards the Xu Family gate.
Seeing the two leave, Lady Lee spat at the two's back with her gloomy eyes, and cursed, "Shameless bitch, you actually hooked up with me after coming out."
When Lady Ma, who was also cleaning up the dishes, heard what Lady Lee said, she slightly frowned and warned him, "It would be better for you to speak less. If you cause trouble again and anger them, you will be the one to be punished."
Lady Lee raised her head and stared at Lady Ma, and said in a weird tone, "Yo, helping your daughter get into a good position, you actually spoke up for her, but I can't even say a few words behind her back?"
When they were having breakfast previously, they had been holding back their anger and couldn't get out. Now that they had finally found an outlet to vent their anger, they scolded angrily, "You're so noisy, you only know how to quarrel, and it's not quiet for the new year. What can a bunch of berserk stars do, they can't even tidy up a bowl or chopstick for half a day …"
Lady Ma didn't have much of an expression on her face, she only had her head lowered as if she was listening to her lecture. Lady Lee was even more furious now, but even if she was even more furious now, she could only hold it in and listen obediently to the old lady's curses.
Cheng Xi obviously did not know that something like this would happen after they leave. The two of them had already brought along a hundred years old to stroll outside, and in a short while, Xu Lan quickly followed them out, followed by a little girl who was around ten years old. After staying in the Xu Family for a few days, Cheng Xi had a rough understanding of the Xu Family's entrance.
It was not hard to understand why Xu Zhu had followed Xu Lan out. Seeing Xu Lan bringing her to the side, her face was filled with disgust, and her disgust was not only shown on her face, but she also asked Xu Lan who was at the side with a look of disdain, "Second Sister, are you planning to go with these jinxes? I can't let them play together, hmph, gross. "
Xu Lan looked at Xu Zhu, who was running away with quick steps, and frowned. She felt that this girl really had something wrong with her, that she had followed her out herself, how could she blame him?
After cursing, she ran away. Xu Lan had no choice but to apologize to Cheng Xi on her behalf, "Little Zhu, Little Zhu, it is just that, she might be affected by her mother's influence, don't be angry."
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Lan's flustered face, and laughed as she replied, "Who cares about her. Let's go, we'll go walk to the hillside and bask in the sun."
Xu Lan saw that Cheng Xi did not seem to be angry, and sneaked a peek at Xu Sanlang, but did not show any reaction or anger. Only then did Xu Lan heave a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile, and led the way.
Xu Sanlang also put down the hundred years old man in his arms. The two of them pulled the hundred years old man along as they followed behind Xu Lan.
At this time of the year, most of them were tidying up their houses and preparing for New Year's Eve meal, hoping that they could have a good New Year. Most of the people strolling around outside were children who were playing in groups.
The kids in the countryside started working for their families as soon as they were older, but they didn't have the time to play together every day. During the new year, they became the most anticipated days for the kids, so not only did they not have to do anything, they could also eat New Year's food that they hadn't eaten for a long time in a year. Just like the kids playing on the hillside in front of them, all of them had happy smiles on their faces.
It had to be said that Xu Sanlang had changed a lot. With the new clothes he was wearing, he looked like a different person, the children who had been running away in fear from Xu Sanlang did not recognize him as Xu Sanlang at all. Most of the children were around seven or eight years old, at his age, and although they would look at him curiously, they quickly turned their attention to playing with their other companions.
and the others had also become more relaxed as the sun shone brightly, mixed with the children's cheers and laughter. A hundred years old looked at the group of children who were playing together with a face full of yearning, but Cheng Xi was not at ease in going over to play with them. She was not sure about their identities, but if he knew of their identities, a hundred years old would definitely be bullied.
Before long, the number of adults began to increase. They were all carrying basins in their hands, and in the basins were either half of a cooked pig's head, or a piece of cooked meat with chopsticks sticking out of it.
Cheng Xi curiously asked Xu Sanlang quietly: "What are they doing? How can you run around with a bowl of meat? "
Xu Sanlang turned his head and looked at Cheng Xi. Seeing Cheng Xi's doubtful expression, Xu Sanlang's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt as well, but he quickly recovered. He also explained to Cheng Xi in a low voice, "I'll sacrifice to the Buddha, then I'll sacrifice to the Ancestor."
Cheng Xi suddenly realized something, seeing that all of them were walking towards a small house on a mountain not far away, Cheng Xi pointed and asked, "Where is the Bodhisattva?"
Xu Sanlang nodded, and turned to Xu Lan who was walking in front and said, "Let's go take a look over there."
Cheng Xi understood what Xu Sanlang meant, if she continued to walk forward, it would be very easy to meet the villagers who were going to offer sacrifices to the Bodhisattva. If she met them, she would probably go and ask them about it, because these two children who were said to be unable to return suddenly returned home in glory after all. Boss Cheng Family had picked up a brothel girl to enter the house, and Xu Family had suddenly brought Xu Sanlang, who had been chased out of the house, back to the Xu Residence.
Cheng Xi saw a big rock not far away from the mountain, no one passed it, the sun was shining down on them, so she called for the rest to go over.
Not long after walking, the children who were initially playing together suddenly stood up and started throwing rocks down. Cheng Xi raised her head, narrowed her eyes and lectured: "You're not allowed to throw stones casually, what if you hurt people?"
At first, they all thought that the child was mischievous. However, one of the children said, "A monster that can kill his parents, get the hell out of our village."
"Right, get the hell out of our village …"
Cheng Xi worriedly looked at Xu Sanlang who was beside him. As expected, Xu Sanlang's head was lowered, and sadness started to gather in his eyes. Cheng Xi quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Sanlang's hand, and comforted him in a soft voice.
At this time, Xu Lan raised her head and scolded the children above, "You bunch of wild children, if you dare speak such nonsense again, be careful that I might beat you up."
The group of children were relying on their numbers, so how could they be afraid of Xu Lan's threats? They made faces at Xu Lan as they continued to throw stones at him.
A rock suddenly fell onto the hundred year old man who was hugging Xu Sanlang's leg fearfully by the side. Cheng Xi reached out to the place she was thrown to worriedly, and said with a face full of worry, "Quick, let me see, is it painful?"
The hundred year old shook his head. "I'm fine."
Seeing that the stone was not big, and that the hundred years old was indeed uninjured, Cheng Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Sanlang picked up the hundred years old, protected him and said hoarsely, "Let's go back.
Cheng Xi's eyes were gloomy, she slowly raised her head to look at the children on the mountain, all of them were fine previously, but now they suddenly threw rocks and clamored, there must be someone messing with them.
As expected, Cheng Xi found Xu Family Member within that group of children. Xu Zijie, the treasured youngest son of the Lady Lee, was six or seven years old.
Cheng Xi said with a gloomy face, "Who lost the stone just now? It hurt someone, take me to your house to find an adult to compensate me with the money."
In the end, it was a group of children. When they heard that they injured a person and even wanted money for their medicine, they were all frightened. They looked at each other and denied that they didn't lose it.
Cheng Xi did not plan to go against a group of children, and said: "Those that are not lost, leave, whoever is lost can stay."
When the children heard this, they all ran away like a wisp of smoke. If they stayed behind, they would admit that they lost the stone, and if they admit that they lost the stone, they would have to compensate the medicine.
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Zijie who was about to leave the group of children, laughed coldly, and spoke loudly. "Xu Zijie, stop right there."
Xu Zijie's footsteps paused for a moment, but he did not have the intention to stop. He continued to run, and Cheng Xi said loudly, "If you dare to run, then don't even think about eating lunch when we get back. I'll make you kneel at the ancestral hall like your mother, Second Brother."
The threat had worked, Xu Zijie finally stopped walking unwillingly, but he still stood at his original position and was not willing to come over. Only when Cheng Xi spoke again and told him to come over, did he finally walk over slowly. His expression on his face was exactly the same as the Lady Lee's, with a harsh expression, as he looked at Xu Sanlang with a face full of disdain.
Cheng Xi did not speak, she only stared at Xu Zijie, who was being stared at impatiently, and said: "Why are you calling me, quickly release your fart."
