A car accident, our family of three crossed

Song Ning finally arranged for the beggar's chicken that the children had been longing for.

While she was collecting pheasants, she asked the children to go wash and change clothes. They had just come down from the mountain and were playing with mud. They were so dirty that it was really unbearable to look at them.

Mu Dun took Chen Xiaobao back to change clothes and told Xu that they would not be having dinner at home tonight.

After changing their clothes, the two hurried back to the Hang family. At this time, the beggar's chicken had already been roasted in the charcoal fire.

Three children squatted in a row beside the charcoal pit, whispering about something.

Roasting beggar's chicken takes a lot of time, and by the time it's done, it's already a little later than usual dinner time.

However, the delicious taste is worth the wait.

After cracking the dried and hardened mud, the fresh aroma of the chicken overflowed. The three children stood there eagerly watching, their mouths watering.

Not to mention the children, even Uncle Chai and Hang Shuheng were also tempted by the food.

Uncle Chai Wu sighed: "I have been hunting for so many years and often roast chickens in the wild, but I never knew that chickens could be roasted like this."

"Grandpa, the chicken roasted by mom is delicious." Yangyang started to flatter her before he even had a bite.

The freshly roasted chicken was quite hot, so Hang Shuheng took over Song Ning's job and gave each of the children a chicken leg, and gave the last chicken leg to Song Ning.

A meal of beggar's chicken satisfied everyone's taste buds and appetite.

I finished eating the two chickens for dinner. Although I was full, I felt a little unsatisfied. They were so fragrant and delicious.

Chen Xiaobao felt that this was the most delicious chicken he had ever eaten, so much so that on the way back to the county town, he kept chattering about it, making all the adults in the car swallow their saliva involuntarily.

At the Sun family, the lights were on in Sun Baomei's room, and the shy girl sat quietly under the light, embroidering a handkerchief.

Aunt Sun came in and started to scold, "Do less needlework at night, don't you want your eyes anymore?"

When Sun Baomei saw her come in, she put down her work and said, "Mom, I'll just embroider for a while. It won't bother you."

The day after tomorrow is market day, and she still has a few handkerchiefs that she has not finished embroidering. She thinks she can catch up on the work in the next two days and then go into the city to deliver the goods to the embroidery shop when she goes to market.

Aunt Sun picked up the handkerchief and purse she had embroidered and looked at them. "Are these the patterns that your sister-in-law Shuheng drew for you?" They were really beautiful.

"Yeah." Sun Baomei responded obediently and said nothing more.

She had originally planned to keep those embroidered handkerchiefs and take them to her husband's family as gifts when she got married, but now that the marriage has been called off, there is no need to keep them. It would be better to send them to the embroidery shop and exchange them for some silver.

Aunt Sun had obviously thought of this as well. She stroked her hair with some concern and sighed, "My daughter is such a good kid, but her reputation has been ruined by that family."

Fearing that she would think too much, Aunt Sun comforted her, "Your sister-in-law Shuheng is right. That family is not worthy of you marrying into. They are all barbarians. It's a good thing that you called off the engagement. Otherwise, if you really married into a family like that in the future, it would be like jumping into a fire pit."

"It's my fault. I thought the second son of that family was honest and would not bully his wife. But I didn't expect that he was too honest and couldn't protect his wife!"

"Mom, this is not your fault. I know that no matter what you do, it is for our own good." Sun Baomei had figured out a lot of things after being enlightened by Song Ning. For her, breaking off the engagement with that kind of family might not be a bad thing.

"My dear daughter! That family is unlucky and couldn't marry such a well-behaved girl like ours." Aunt Sun smiled and took her into her arms, "Don't worry, I will definitely find you a husband family that is ten or a hundred times better than that family."

Sun Baomei snuggled in her mother's arms, thinking that the words were just to comfort her. She smiled bitterly and didn't take them seriously.

She knew very well that she was now a person whose engagement had been rejected, and there was no way she could marry into a better family in the future, let alone one that was ten or a hundred times better.

However, even if those words were meant to comfort her, she was deeply moved and nodded in agreement.

The next moment, Aunt Sun let her go, held her hand instead, and asked, "Baomei, I want to ask you, what do you think of Constable Wang?"

Sun Baomei was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to suddenly ask this. She was stunned for a moment and her mind went blank.

Aunt Sun saw that she was in a daze and pushed her gently, "What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"

"No, mother..." Sun Baomei came back to her senses in an instant, "Why, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Subconsciously, she became a little nervous, and the little accident that happened when she was serving tea at the Hang family today suddenly flashed through her mind, and her hands involuntarily tangled together.

The places that were touched by that man's fingers today seemed to be hot.

Aunt Sun observed her reaction carefully. Isn't this the look of a young girl falling in love for the first time?

"Then mother asks you, what do you think of the person who proposed marriage before?"

That person? Sun Baomei thought about it carefully. She had also seen that person before. She only knew that she would marry him in the future. When she saw him, she was just a little embarrassed and didn't have any special feelings.

When Aunt Sun saw her frowning, she knew that she was thinking seriously. Knowing that she was not good at expressing herself, she did not force her to express her thoughts, so she continued to ask.

"Now you have an idea of ​​what that person is like, right? Then think about what Detective Wang is like?"

Constable Wang? Sun Baomei couldn't think of anything else when she heard these three words, but her face turned red.

I feel a little panicked.

With this reaction, what else is there to not understand?

Aunt Sun laughed, "Mom thinks so! Constable Wang is ten or a hundred times better than the previous one."

"My dear sister! If, I mean if, if you could marry someone like Constable Wang, would you be willing?"

Sun Baomei was so shocked that she pulled back her mother's hand. Her heart was pounding and a trace of shame appeared on her face. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Then, the shame on her face slowly faded, and she bit her lower lip, facing reality.

"Mom, Constable Wang is a good man. I, I am not worthy of him. We can't hurt him."

"Of course I know that Constable Wang is a good man. Don't worry, I know what's good and what's bad." Aunt Sun held her hand again and said, "I'm just giving you an analogy. It's not what you would say if you could marry someone like Constable Wang. Tell me the truth. If you could really marry someone like Constable Wang, would you be willing?"

"I, I..." Sun Baomei was embarrassed by the questioning. Of course she was willing, but she was too ashamed to say such words. "Oh! Mom, please stop talking. I'm sleepy and I want to sleep."

After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Aunt Sun, and quickly lay down, pulled up the quilt to cover herself, and turned her back to her mother.
