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

The bearded man picked up the wine glass, poured himself a drink, and then said, "Brother Fatty is right. Women, even if they are the same when the lights are turned off, at least they have to act like women."

The fat man showed a sly smile, as if he had found a like-minded person, "Brother Hu Zi, how else can we say that you can achieve great things? This glass of wine is my turn to toast you."

When the fat man finally became confused and spoke unclearly with a lisp, the bearded man leaned close to the fat man again and asked something in a low voice.

The fat man first stared and thought for a while, then smiled and said something, and then fell asleep on the table.

The bearded man was obviously very happy to get the news he wanted.

He picked up the wine glass again, toasted the people still sitting at the table, and finally ran to the bathroom.

At night in Black Wind Village, only the lights were on in front of the meeting hall and a few important checkpoints, while the rest of the place was completely dark.

The bearded man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. After coming out of the meeting room, he went straight to the kitchen after making many turns.

Because there was a banquet in the meeting room in the evening, Tian Xiaoman and Chen Ying were left in the kitchen to work.

Only now that the food had almost been eaten did old man Huo in the kitchen finally finish cooking.

He patted his butt and left, leaving Tian Xiaoman and Chen Ying behind, still struggling to clean up the mess.

Washing dishes, cleaning the stove, gathering firewood, one thing after another, Tian Xiaoman had never done so much work in the kitchen.

Take washing dishes for example. The Tian family only has a dozen or twenty people at most, but in Heifeng Village, there are five large basins just for washing dishes, plates and chopsticks, and they are oversized ones.

Tian Xiaoman had been washing for more than a quarter of an hour, but there was still a lot of clothes piled in front of her. She was afraid it would take her at least half an hour to finish washing them.

Such a heavy workload made Tian Xiaoman sweat profusely.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and secretly glanced at Xu Ying. She saw that Chen Ying was also busy. She was either going in and out to collect firewood or wiping the oil stains on the stove with a rag.

However, Chen Ying's face was full of joy, without any of the reluctance and fatigue that Tian Xiaoman's face showed.

If you look closely, you can see that this girl secretly puts something into her mouth every once in a while.

In Chen Ying's opinion, such days are pretty good.

She used to do these kinds of work when she was at home and didn't feel tired at all, but at least she could have enough food to eat in Black Wind Village.

Old man Huo looked down on the leftovers that had been cleared away earlier and didn't eat a single bite of them, which was a good thing for her.

In Chen Ying's opinion, Old Man Huo had a bad temper, but the food he cooked was pretty good, no wonder he was able to stay in Black Wind Village.

By the time Tian Xiaoman finally finished washing the dishes, he could no longer stand up.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's because my legs are numb.

"Sister Chen Ying, come and help me up, I can't get up."

Chen Ying washed the last rag and was hanging it on a rope beside her. When she heard Tian Xiaoman calling her, she immediately ran over and said, "Sister Xiaoman, are you okay? Come, I'll help you. If you can't walk, I'll carry you back. I'm very strong."

Tian Xiaoman didn't dare to hug her, after all, she was also a girl, just a few years older than him.

"No, no, I'll just walk around for a while."

Chen Ying helped Tian Xiaoman walk to the yard where the kitchen was. Looking at the clear night sky, Tian Xiaoman felt a little sad.

"Dad and Mom, when are you going to come and save your precious daughter? You won't really lose yourself, will you? By the way, that mouse Xiaobai has been gone for several days, why hasn't he come back yet?"

At this moment, a tall and shadowy figure came towards the kitchen.

When Chen Ying looked up, she saw the tall figure, "Sister Xiaoman, look, someone is coming."

Normally, no one would come to the kitchen at this time.

"who is it?"

Tian Xiaoman became alert and looked in the direction of the person coming with Chen Ying.

In a few breaths, the man had entered the courtyard where the kitchen was.

The light in the kitchen was still on. With the help of the light in the house, Tian Xiaoman saw the person coming clearly - it was the bearded man whom he bumped into that day.

Seeing this bearded man, the familiar feeling came over Tian Xiaoman again.

The bearded man walked into the yard and saw Tian Xiaoman and the black girl at a glance.

His eyes moved between Tian Xiaoman and the black girl, and then looked towards the kitchen.

"I'm here to see Old Man Huo, is he here?"

Chen Ying's eyes were filled with obvious vigilance. She shook her head and said, "Old man Huo left a long time ago. Now it's just the two of us. Do you want to eat anything else?"

There are still some dishes left in the kitchen. They are what Old Man Huo left for him to eat tomorrow morning. If this person wants them, he can ask him to take them away. When Old Man Huo asks about them tomorrow morning, he can just say that they were taken away by the people in the front hall.

When he heard that Old Man Huo was not there, the bearded man's face relaxed a little.

"What are you two doing? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Chen Ying pointed at herself and said, "I'm the kitchen helper and she's the one who makes the fire."

Tian Xiaoman: Sister, what's the difference between a kitchen helper and a fire starter? They're both hard laborers, so why should you make such a clear distinction between them?

Compared to the vigilance in Chen Ying's eyes, when Tian Xiaoman saw the bearded man, there was more inquiry in his eyes.

She was sure that this person made her feel familiar for some reason.

But whether in his own memories of the past few months or in the original owner's memories, Tian Xiaoman could not find any impression of the bearded man.

"Since Old Man Huo is not here, then everything will be fine."

The man felt around his body, his expression changed, "Where's my wallet? Why is it gone?"

He looked back at the way he came, and pointed at Chen Ying, "Go and look for me in the meeting room. There is a royal blue purse with a lot of loose change in it. Help me find the purse, and I'll give you some silver."

Chen Ying didn't want to go. She held Tian Xiaoman's hand tightly. Who knew that after she left, Xiaoman would be left alone with the bearded man. Would the bearded man have any ill intentions towards Xiaoman?

Sister Xiaoman is still young, and she has to protect her.

Tian Xiaoman patted Chen Ying's hand gently, motioning Chen Ying to find her wallet and that she could take care of herself.

Chen Ying was reluctant to leave, but she had to bow her head under the eaves. In the end, she had to walk away along the corridor obediently and help the bearded man find his purse.

For a moment, only Big Beard and Tian Xiaoman were left in the yard.

"Is there anything delicious in the house? You little girl, just take me to have a look."

Tian Xiaoman walked into the kitchen first, followed by the bearded man. After entering the house, the bearded man looked around and saw that there was no one else around. There was a hint of anxiety on his face.

Tian Xiaoman was shocked. Could it be that this bearded man had some special hobby and liked bean sprouts like him?
