Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 61

Pei Xiaohai declined his kindness and hurried home. Even so, Pei Zhu still complained that she came back late.

Maybe she will become a truly reasonable mother only after she dies.

Anyway, while she was alive, Pei Xiaohai felt that he would never be able to satisfy her.

Fortunately, she doesn't care.

The words "father and mother" mean nothing to Pei Xiaohai except trouble.

The next day, she continued to embroider, feed the pigs, cats, chickens, ducks and geese, and went to find Waiya in her short free time.

Yu Meng is still not there.

"He's chopping trees again?"

"No, he went to sell firewood."

Waiya's expression was so tangled that Pei Xiaohai had no choice but to ask her, "That's a good thing, right?"

Selling firewood sounds like a serious business.

"Maybe. He goes there every two or three days to sell a load of firewood, then uses the money to buy wine. He drinks and then continues to work. In the past, that old man would also make some money to buy wine, but he usually made it by selling land and grain. He is much better off than that old man, but I'm afraid he's drinking himself to death."

Waiya doesn't want to admit it, but it's really nice to have an adult at home who can do the work and doesn't hit people.

Pei Xiaohai: ...

Would she be happier if she knew that people can become ghosts but won't actually die?

"Don't worry, if drinking could kill people, your father would have died long ago."

"That's true. At least that old man will definitely walk ahead of Uncle Yu."

Waiya quickly put the matter aside, put on her warm clothes and went to the yard with Pei to play shuttlecock.

Crossing one leg, hopping on one foot, and playing cockfighting is not a game suitable for them. Although many children in the village play it, it is not suitable for them.

They both thought the other was using too much force, and finally they started fighting.

When Yu Meng came back, the two children who had buried Ba Tai were sitting under the eaves, far away and ignoring each other.

Waiya crossed her arms and Pei Xiaohai held her chin, both looking very angry.

Yu Meng: "You two are sitting so far away, can we still eat boiled peanuts and candied haws together?"

That's probably still possible!

The gloomy look disappeared, and the two cat faces became bright and shining, and when the sun shone on them, their faces were full of sunshine.

Yu Meng: ...Not stupid at all.

He is much more cunning than his younger brother, that brat who refuses to eat when he gets angry.

The three of them dug out a low table from among the junk and placed it under the eaves. They placed a blazing brazier aside and sat on small stools around the table.

Eat that bag of boiled peanuts.

Yu Meng handed the candied haws to them.

Pei Xiaohai didn't take it, and neither did Waiya. They didn't really mean it, but they pretended to be sincere and asked him, "Do you want to have one?"

"Wow, you're so generous! I'll have one."

Yu Meng was not polite at all and started biting.

The icing crackled.

So are their hearts.

It doesn’t matter, they are generous children...that’s strange.

Pei Xiaohai looked at Waiya with a reproachful look: I told you not to talk too much!

Waiya: Woohoo, never again.

No matter who bought it, they are reluctant to share it with others!

The whole candied haws looked like it was missing a head. I don’t know if it hurt, but Pei Xiaohai and Waiya felt very sad.

The child is better. Although the Liu family is becoming more and more annoying, they still give her snacks and candies. She can even save half for Waiya.

But Waiya couldn't handle it. Snacks were really rare for her. Seeing this scene, her eyes were filled with tears.

Without that courageous words to hold her back, she would really cry.

"One, two, three, four, five."

Waiya counted them one by one.

"There are five in total. I'll eat two, you eat two, and there's one left."

Yu Meng: "It's hard to share. How about I help you eat another one?"

"No need!" Waiya decisively refused and said to Pei Xiaohai, "The last one is for you to eat."

Good things must fall into the mouths of our own people.

When Pei Xiaohai thought about the food she had shared, she felt that it was what she deserved. But when she thought about the persimmons and chestnuts that Waiya had shared with her, she still said—

"Half each, we are good friends."

"Yes, we are best friends!"

Both children were very satisfied and looked at each other with emotion.

Yu Meng: ...Okay, you guys are the best, I'm redundant. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have eaten. Three of you is just right.

What an unlucky kid!

"Ahem, does anyone want to say something to me?"

For example, thank you, second uncle, you are so nice, etc.?

Yu Meng looked at them expectantly.

The two children looked at each other, then lowered their heads in thought, and it took them a long time to come up with an idea.

Waiya: "You're a nice person."

Pei Xiaohai: "Can you sit a little closer? The wind makes me feel a little cold."

"Why are you looking at me? He asked it himself. I've been wanting to say it for a long time." Pei Xiaohai met Waiya's gaze and thought she was dissatisfied. He also felt that it was not a good idea to say this.

But Waiya said, "If he sits over there, the wind will blow on me!"

"One of us has to get scolded, and I don't want it to be me. You know, I was sick a while ago!"

Pei Xiaohai acted like I was so weak.

Waiya had no choice but to say, "Okay, move!"

Yu Meng: ...

God bless me, please give me a stupid child in the future.

Pei Xiaohai looked at Yu Meng with a hint of satisfaction: "Why don't you move?"

Yu Meng: "Do you want to think about what you said? I'm the one who treated you to food, so be nice to me. It's really cold, let's go back to the house."

Yes, you can do that.

Waiya whispered, "If I go back to the house, the guys next door won't be able to see me, so how can I show off? Kid, just hold on a little longer."

Yu Meng turned his head and saw a few little heads drooling on the wall. He didn't know when they appeared.

Little Pei knew this was a serious matter, so he nodded solemnly and said, "It's just a little wind. I'm not that cold."

Yu Meng is really speechless.

The two children shared the string of candied haws, watching each other lick the sugar coating and bite the bright red haws patiently.

It was so sour that it made their teeth ache, but they insisted, "It's so sweet!"

“Yes, it’s delicious!”

While eating, I looked at the wall. Those heads were red with anger, or maybe it was because of the wind. They had freckles and cracked skin, just like hawthorns!

Maotou's youngest brother, Maodan, was the first to lose patience and cried, "Brother, I want to eat candied haws."

The five brothers said in unison: "You look like a candied haws!"

Maodan: ?╭╮?

"Wow! I don't care! I want to eat candied haws!"

Maodan jumped off the wall crying.

"Mom, I want to eat candied haws!"

"What candied haws? You look like a candied haws to me, young man. Get out of here, you useless bastards..."

People next door started cursing.

The two bad kids were having fun. What could make people happier than seeing the bad luck of the people they hate?

Waiya's head twisted happily, and she said to Yu Meng, "You can have an extra half bowl of porridge tonight."

Yu Meng: ...

What could Yu Meng do? He could only give a thumbs up:
