Because of the discovery of such a new function, Xu Nannan has more and more longing for life. The spirit of the whole person is different. Xu Xiaoman did not go home for lunch at noon, so they bought instant noodles from a Taobao store, burned a pot of hot water with wood fire on the mountain, and ate instant noodles.

The smell, it makes two greedy people drool.

Xu Nannan also swallowed straight. She didn’t like eating very much before. She felt it was not nutritious, so she just ate it in her mouth. Nowadays, she has been eating glutinous rice dumplings all day long, and even if she occasionally eats biscuit, egg pies, and butter puffs, her mouth still waters. Looking at this instant noodle, it is simply the most delicious food she’s seen on earth.

“Sister, it’s so fragrant.” Xu Xiaoman swallowed, “Where did this come from? I haven’t seen it before.”

After entering the city this time, she knew that her parents were not as good to her as she thought. Naturally, such good things would not be eaten by her and sister.

“While I was walking around the city, I saw it at the the supply and marketing cooperative that sold them, but they shouldn’t be sold now. I heard that they came from a big city. The money I borrowed from Uncle Gensheng was spent on this.”

Xu Nannan stirred the noodles with her chopsticks, and the smell became stronger.

Taking in the smell, Xu Xiaoman didn’t want to ask anything else. She lowered her head and ate with a chopstick. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue together.

“Too delicious!”

“Eat more, let’s eat cleanly.” Xu Nannan also lowered her head and started to eat.

The two gobbled it up, and they ate it up very quickly.

They even drank the broth clean.

Xu Nannan touched her stomach, feeling satisfied. She never expected that one day she would taste happiness from instant noodles.

After eating, Xu Nannan washed the dishes and chopsticks. She put the kettle together in the haystack and hid it. She thinks she can add more meals in the future. Anyway, she can definitely find something she can sell for money in the future. Of course, she needs to appropriately improve the quality of life.

After packing up her things, Xiaoman did not want to go back home yet, so they stayed in the resting hut to write.

Xu Nannan had already cut the pigweed in the morning, and went to feed it again at noon. After finishing, she guarded Xu Xiaoman, and taught Xu Xiaoman to read and write while practicing calligraphy.

After doing a few pages of math problems, Xu Xiaoman suddenly looked up, “Why didn’t you come with Uncle He today?”

Hearing Xu Xiaoman’s question, Xu Nannan realized that she didn’t seem to have seen He Qiusheng come today. Normally He Qiusheng came earlier than her, but the feces in the pigpen were all scattered today, which shows that he did not come today.

This is surprising.

Xu Nannan felt strange. After all, with an identity like He Qiusheng, it is impossible to have a vacation. He didn’t come today, so there must be something wrong.

When she was about to get off work, He Qiusheng didn’t come either, but two people from the village jumped over and picked pig dung in the pigpen.

Xu Nannan ran over and recognized Xu Ershu Gong and Xu Liushu Gong in the village. This is based on the family tree of Xujiacun Village.

“Second Uncle, why are you here today?”

“Nannan, you haven’t got off work yet? Today, Old Man He is ill. I heard that he is lying in bed. We are here to pick fertilizer. They said that these bad guy is really useless, now he can’t work, and he is sick. ” Second Uncle complained.

Today everyone is about to get off work. They are still waiting for fertilizer, but they didn’t see the person surnamed He. When Xu Gensheng heard about it, he went to the cattle shed to find someone and found that He Qiusheng was actually sick. People are confused.

Although, they said that there is no need to sympathize with these bad elements, He Quisheng can’t move, and he can’t help it. People can only come over and pick up the dung temporarily to make up for this matter.

And Xu Qiusheng was also worried that if something happened to this bad guy, no one would do the job in the future, and the villagers would be arranged to do it again.

Xu Nannan’s heart sank slightly when he heard He Qiusheng’s illness.

She had always known that He Qiusheng is in poor health. But it was too sudden. He was fine yesterday, but he got sick today. But this kind of sudden illness is the most difficult to cure.

Illness comes like a mountain and gets out like a thread.

The second uncle complained for a while, but he picked up the pig dung with swift hands and feet, and went to the field with Liu Uncle one by one.

It was time for Xu Nannan to get off work, and Xu Xiaoman packed up their things and hurried down the mountain.

She just couldn’t help but glance at it when she passed the cattle shed. The door was still closed, and there was no one to look for. At this time, she doesn’t want to get involved with bad elements, nor worry about getting involved.

“Sister, let’s go see Uncle He.” Xu Xiaoman pulled Xu Nannan’s sleeve.

Xu Nannan stopped for a moment and shook her head, “Let’s go home for dinner, it’s too late to not go back now.” No matter what, she definitely can’t go to see it now.

When the two returned home, the Xu family also returned. Because of the old lady, Xu Gensheng did not arrange for them to work overtime.

Grandpa Xu took his two sons and squatted in the yard smoking dry cigarettes, while Mrs. Xu took his daughter-in-laws to cook in the kitchen.

When Xu Nannan brought Xu Xiaoman into the door, everyone just glanced at them, as if they didn’t care that they didn’t come back for lunch at noon.

Perhaps in their hearts, it is a good thing not to come back for lunch and to save food.

You know, the harvest just started last year, but it wasn’t enough. There is not much food in the family, and there are three more men who want to eat more. They can’t eat a few dry meals at home all year round. The most is to drink corn paste mixed with wild vegetables.

It seems that after hearing the movement of Sister Xu Nannan entering the door, Zhang Cuiqin came out of the kitchen while eating sunflower seeds.

Sunflower seeds are the only snack in the family, which is the fruit of the old lady’s hard work for letting it grow successfully. Usually, they kept the tooth-fighting ceremony, or sent them to the city as snacks for Xu Hong and the others, even the two children Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman didn’t eat a single seed. But Zhang Cuiqin doesn’t care about this, for as long as she has food at home, she must get a portion.

Xu Nannan also took Xu Xiaoman into the house as if she hadn’t seen them.

Zhang Cuiqin leaned against the kitchen door and laughed, “Yeah, I didn’t know if you will come back, I thought you were in town again.”

Xu Nannan didn’t even look at her, and brought Xu Xiaoman into the house.

Talking to someone like Zhang Cuiqin is simply an insult to your IQ.

Even Xu Jianhai couldn’t stand it anymore. He turned his head and glared at his wife, “What are you doing, can’t you get a better life?”

Xu Jianhai couldn’t figure it out. Why did his wife speak like this? Just so she had to catch Erya and Siya? It’s no good to be so loud so isn’t it just wasted effort? Anyway, as long as Erya and Siya stay in the countryside obediently, then should have no other concerns, should she?

Alas, this lady is good at nothing except for giving birth.

Suddenly being scolded by her own man, Zhang Cuiqin’s mouth curled down. She stomped her feet and turned to look for Granny Xu.

However, she made a wrong calculation. For this kind of thing, Mrs. Xu was naturally defending her son, but she was counted out.

Being scolded by her own man and being scolded by her mother-in-law again, Zhang Cuiqin felt so much complaint in her heart. She didn’t dare to blame her man and mother-in-law, so she could only put Xu Nannan on this account.

Xu Nannan doesn’t care about the Xu family’s troubles, anyway, as long as they can’t make trouble on her.

Strictly speaking, she is not the real Xu Nannan, so she can’t talk about feelings for Xu’s family, whether it is family affection or resentment.

Her only feeling for Xu’s family is hate. Just like how people hate flies. In her eyes, these people from the Xu family are similar to flies.

It’s just that she can’t slap these flies to death.

And now that she is rushing, she doesn’t want to waste time arguing with the Xu family. She just wants to run her Taobao store quietly, and have food, and drink in the future.

When the food was on the table, Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman also came out for dinner.

It’s still one spoonful per person, but when it’s the turn of the two sisters, it’s all soup.

Xu Nannan hadn’t spoken yet, so the old lady Xu put down the spoon and sternly said, “It stands to reason that Xiaoman is eating plain rice now and she did not eat lunch. But after all, I am also your grandmother, and I can’t be cruel to not let you eat. But Xiaoman, from tomorrow on, will be helping me with work. You too Nannan, you’re working on the mountain now, but you will come back when you are free.”

Xu Nannan looked at the sparse soup in the bowl and sneered, “So that means, if Xiaoman and I don’t work, we will have no food to eat? What about the people in the city? Even if they work or not, they will have food given to them? “

Before Mrs. Xu had spoken, Zhang Cuiqin got angry first and patted the table directly, “How can you compare with Daya and the others? Do you know how hard it is for them to go to school every day? You think they are as wild as you.”

Hearing her words, Xu Nannan rejoiced, “Second aunt, it’s harder to go to school than work? Well, we can’t make it cheaper for Xiaoman. I plan to send Xiaoman to elementary school. She is so old and at home. It’s really appropriate.”

“Why will Siya go to school?” Zhang Cuiqin said.

“If Honghong can go to school, we can also send Xiaoman too.” Xu Nannan said sternly.

With a bang, the old lady Xu threw the spoon into the basin angrily, “I think you are putting your nose in my face. I want you to come back to work, and you will let Siya go to school. It looks like a wood. Which way would you ever learn? Don’t turn a blind eye to the food at home.”

Xu Nannan laughed sarcastically, “I didn’t let it, but the second aunt did. Didn’t the second aunt say that reading is more tiring than work? So how can you make Honghong tired of them?”

With Xu Nannan’s sharp-toothed mouth, old lady Xu didn’t even know what to say. She glared at Zhang Cuiqin, then looked back at Xu Nannan, “I don’t allow her to go to school, we’ll see which teacher in the village dares to accept her! This old Xu family still knows that I’m in charge. Don’t think that just because your dad didn’t let you marry this time, you could just kick my nose and won’t take me seriously! If you are anxious, just know that your dad’s words don’t count.”

Xu Xiaoman pulled Xu Nannan, “Sister, we’re not going to school.” The whole family stared at her and sister.

Xu Nannan didn’t speak, but looked at Granny Xu without blinking, without any intention of giving in.

Although she will not fight hard with the Xu family, she will never shrink from these people.

The old lady Xu stared at her for a long time, and she was shocked that she hadn’t survived Xu Nannan, and patted the table angrily, “Okay, okay, now that her wings are really hard, she don’t take me seriously. This old lady is still alive. What does that mean?”

The clattering of her table made other people unable to eat.

This is a trick used by old ladies, and it’s not easy for everyone to make trouble when they are already in trouble. Naturally, someone will help her.

Grandpa Xu couldn’t bear it. She was too troublesome. The first time that the old lady had trouble with Xu Nannan, It didn’t matter to him, but now it makes him uneasy, and he is also angry, “Erya, why did you talk to your grandma like that? Your dad? He don’t have the guts! I think your grandma is right, you really have stiff wings now. Okay, if you have the patience, get out, don’t live at home, and don’t eat or drink at home!”

A fifteen-year-old girl with a nine-year-old girl? He still doesn’t believe that they can live without home.

Xu Jianhai also said, “Erya, why won’t you admit your mistake with your grandma?” The girl’s temper can’t go so far. If they can’t control her, what should they do if she runs back to the city in the future?

“I think Erya thinks that she can be lawless by relying on our eldest brother.” Zhang Cuiqin added fuel and jealousy to the side.

But Liu Qiao and his husband didn’t speak, they were quiet, and they didn’t know what they were thinking.

Just when everyone thought Xu Nannan would be scared, Xu Nannan suddenly looked up at Old Man Xu, “Grandpa, does what you say count?”

Grandpa Xu sternly said, “Why wouldn’t it count?”

Xu Nannan nodded, “Okay, I will take Xiaoman out to live, and I no longer live at home. I don’t eat or drink at home. But there is one thing. The work points and food I earn from working outside must belong to me.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Nannan was not only unafraid, but also bargaining. Grandpa Xu was also stunned for a while.

“What are you talking about, do you want to move?” Grandpa Xu asked in disbelief. How is this kid so courageous?

A child can’t earn much work points, let alone raise a nine-year-old child.

Grandpa Xu didn’t believe it.

But Xu Nannan still nodded to confirm, “Yes, didn’t you just say that if I have the ability, I should move out? I think I have the ability to support me and Xiaoman, so I decided to move out. It’s just that I will move out later. The family doesn’t care about me and Xiaoman. I will send Xiaoman to school and no one should care about it.”

The Xu family looked at her in surprise. Granny Xu’s eyes went straight. She didn’t think Xu Nannan really wanted to leave the house, but felt that she wanted to threaten her as an old person and make her feel bad.

“Okay, okay, if that’s what you said.”

Before Grandpa Xu could speak, Grandma Xu patted the table and said, “Get out, get out now! You can’t take anything from our old Xu family. I’ll see if you can go out for a few days.”

“What about my food?” Xu Nannan said.

She doesn’t care about this little food, but she also doesn’t want to raise a white-eyed wolf with what she earns from her hard work.

“Even your little food is not enough for you to eat by yourself, which is rare! Go and talk to Xu Gensheng by yourself. But the ugly thing can be said first. Today, you moved out by yourself, we didn’t let you out. Don’t turn back on us when your dad will come back. And don’t talk nonsense. At that time, our whole family will make a point.”

Zhang Cuiqin immediately yelled, “Mom, I testify that she wanted to leave by herself, and we can’t stop it.” Confirming that Xu Nannan is really going to leave, she was very excited, so it’s okay to move away. It’s okay to starve to death outside. It is good.

“Erya, you should be soft with your grandma. How can you live outside with Siya? Not to mention, there are no places to live in this dark.” And she faced Xiaoman, saying, “Siya, persuade your sister to not leave yet.”

Xu Xiaoman glanced at Xu Nannan, then firmly grasped Xu Nannan’s hand, “I will follow my sister. I will go wherever my sister goes.”

Liu Qiao frowned, “Oh, this kid, why is she ignorant?”

After persuading the child and persuading the two elders, “Parents, the child is not sensible, so don’t be angry. If the two children really left, the older brother will come back…”

“When he happens to come back, let him see the unfilial daughter he raised!” The old lady listened to this and remembered Xu Jiansheng’s objection to her marrying Xu Nannan before. She suddenly became angry and patted the table directly.

Grandpa Xu frowned and looked at Xu Nannan solemnly, “Erya, are you really thinking about it? If you want to get out of this door, the family will not help you at all in the future. No grain will be given.”

“I have a good idea, as long as the family don’t trouble me in the future.”

“Go ahead, don’t enter the door of my old Xu’s house in the future.” Before Grandpa Xu could speak, Mrs. Xu yelled angrily.

This time Grandpa Xu didn’t say anything. He smoked with a pipe and didn’t look at Xu Nannan. He seemed to have acquiesced in this matter.

Grandpa Xu didn’t want his two granddaughters to move out in his heart, and felt ashamed. But this granddaughter has been repeatedly sweeping the face of the elders these days, and the boss who is still making trouble with them is at odds with them. He is already very dissatisfied now. Maybe it’s good to teach these two girls a little lesson this time. When they go out, they will know that the family is right, anyway.

And when they come back later, they will behave.
