A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

According to seniority, Tian Xiaoman should call this young widow "Auntie".

"Aunt, I'm so sorry. My sister Xiao Miao and I were walking fast and didn't see you. I stepped on your shoe."

The young widow was wearing a pair of goose yellow shoes with a flower outlined on the upper with red silk thread.

The flower embroidery looked beautiful, much better than the ordinary cotton shoes worn by most women in Tianjia Village.

But at this moment, there was a big footprint on the flower, which was where Tian Xiaoman accidentally stepped on just now.

"It's okay, it's okay. You're just a little girl, it won't hurt much if you step on it. Besides, my shoes will be clean if I wipe them with water when I get home. Eh? Where are you going? Your mother is really a fool. It's so cold, and she didn't even hold you a little. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Tian Xiaoman felt that the young widow's tone was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"We are going to the old village chief's house."

"Ah, it's so cold, and you guys are still out. Little girls can't stand the cold!"

The young widow's eyes rolled around and she looked at Tian Xiaoman from head to toe.

Her look made Tian Xiaoman feel very uncomfortable.

Tian Xiaoman was not a real country girl of only eleven years old. She certainly saw the scrutiny and hostility in the eyes of the young widow.

Tian Xiaoman didn't want to play along with the young widow any more, "Aunt, if there's nothing else, Xiao Miao and I will leave first."

The young widow smiled lightly, raised her hand and said, "I'm fine, really. If you're in a hurry, just leave now."

Today, Tian Xiaoman wore a new jacket made for her by Wang.

The jacket was filled with cotton wool, and the outer surface was made of newly bought fine cotton cloth. The turquoise green jacket made the little girl look even more energetic and lively.

At the moment when they passed by the young widow, the young widow suddenly spoke, which scared Xiao Miao so much that the hand holding Tian Xiaoman shook.

"Hey, little girl——"

Tian Xiaoman had no choice but to stop patiently and look back at the young widow.

The young widow smiled and smoothed the hair that fell by her ears. She said in a gentle tone, "I heard from the villagers that your father bought a pair of gold bracelets for your mother. Is it true?"

As the young widow spoke, she took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Xiaoman.

"I don't have anything good on me. This candy is something I usually don't want to eat. I just happened to see you, so I gave it to you, Xiaoman."

Tian Xiaoman didn't take it. It was just a piece of candy. She had seen it before. Was there any need for her to take it so eagerly?

To be honest, she kind of disliked the young widow. Just now she saw that there were fingerprints on the candy that the young widow was holding.

Besides, other children in the village might be greedy for candy, but she wouldn't.

There are several packs of various flavors in the cabinets in her and her second sister's rooms.

To be frank, is she the one who is short of that piece of candy?

The young widow thought Tian Xiaoman was embarrassed, "Hey, it's given to you by your aunt, just accept it, your mother won't say anything to you."

The young widow wanted to stuff the candy into Tian Xiaoman's hand, but she never expected that Tian Xiaoman, a little girl, was so strong that the candy she had just stuffed into her hand was stuffed back into Tian Xiaoman's hand.

In fact, the young widow was somewhat reluctant.

This piece of candy was given to her by someone else, but she couldn't bear to eat it and wanted to take it home to eat.

Seeing that Tian Xiaoman was not moved, the young widow no longer pretended to give him what he wanted, but she asked the same question again.

"Little girl Xiaoman, why don't you tell your auntie if it's true?"

Tian Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she had an idea in her mind. She said with a smile, "Aunt, that's just rumors from others. How much silver would two gold bracelets cost? That's why my father is reluctant to buy them for my mother!"

"Really?"

The young widow's eyes rolled around, "But I heard from the villagers that it was true."

"Humph, if you don't believe me, forget it!"

Tian Xiaomanxiang pretended to be angry and ran away taking Tian Xiaomiao's hand.

For some reason, she always felt that this young widow had no good intentions.

After walking a long way, Tian Xiaomiao spoke breathlessly, "Sister Xiaoman, stay away from her in the future."

"What's wrong? What do you know?"

"I heard from my mother that the young widow is not a good person. She is the reincarnation of a vixen and she is good at seducing people."

Tian Xiaoman laughed, "You are still young, what do you know? Don't just believe everything you hear. You should have your own opinions and views on everything."

Tian Xiaomiao was angry. "But you are not much older than me. Anyway, my mother said that young widows are not good. My mother even pulled my father's ear and told him to stay away from young widows."

Tian Xiaoman laughed again, "Okay, okay, Sister Xiaoman got it, but don't say this outside anymore."

Tian Xiaomiao nodded like a little adult, "Of course, Sister Xiaoman is not an outsider, so I told Sister Xiaoman."

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the old village chief's house.

Xi Que caught a cold because of playing too much and had a high fever last night. Fortunately, he asked his third uncle for medicine and drank it. Now his fever has gone away, but he is still listless and lying on the kang with no energy.

Fortunately, she felt better when she saw her two sisters coming to see her and had some appetizing pastries to eat.

Tian Xiaoman and Xiaomiao chatted with Xi Que for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

As soon as I walked out of the old village chief's house, I met Mu Tou trying to come in.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

"Mom asked me to pick you up. Let's go and send Xiao Miao back first, and then go home."

By the time Tian Xiaoman and Mu Tou got home, Wang had already prepared dinner.

There were only three of them at home, so dinner was relatively simple. They had a mixture of white flour and millet flour, and stewed dried beans, with meat added to it.

The meat was smoked meat that had been bought earlier, and the dried beans were grown behind the Tian family’s house and picked in the fall and dried.

Wang is an excellent cook and can make even ordinary dishes taste good.

Not to mention a greedy person like Mu Tou, even Tian Xiaoman ate two large pancakes with this dish, dipping the pancakes in the soup.

After dinner, Mu Tou cried out that he needed to digest his food, so he went to the back of his house and played with the alpacas, spitting at each other across the fence.

This is a new game that Mu Tou thought of recently. Anyway, the alpacas are surrounded by fences and cannot run out. He can "tease" the alpacas however he wants outside the fence.

Mu Tou could "fight" this boring game for half an hour every day, until his mouth was dry and not even a drop of saliva was left, and then he would return to the front yard.

Tian Xiaoman expressed his confusion about Mu Tou's hobby. After all, his third brother was really a "maverick" person.

In layman's terms, "maverick" means being very strange!

There were only Tian Xiaoman and Wang in the room, and she wanted to find out about the young widow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tian Xiaoman started talking, Wang's face looked a little unhappy.

"Old Four, listen to your mother. If you see a young widow next time, stay away from her."

"What's wrong?"

The more Wang said this, the more curious Tian Xiaoman became.

——Why does everyone say to stay away from young widows?

Wang said with disdain, "She is a restless girl. Even if a male cat or dog passes by her house, she would wish those animals would look at her twice. You are a little kid. You won't understand if I tell you more. Just remember what your mother said. In the future, if she talks to you again, stay away."

What Wang was embarrassed to say was that the young widow was very capable. She had seduced many men from the surrounding villages to spend money on her. Otherwise, how could a little widow like her, who only had two acres of thin land to live on, live as she did now?
