Chapter 130 Good news?
When Xia Mo heard this, a faint light flashed in his eyes and he murmured, "Oh, so that's it..." Then he smiled at Yi Ge'er and turned to comfort Tiedan who was a little angry.
"It's all in the past, don't be angry, Tiedan. Auntie thinks you were very brave at that time. Not only did you save Auntie, you also protected Mom. You are a little man. But a real man should not let his mind become narrow because of these insignificant people and things."
After all, children are still young. There is no need for them to understand the swordplay and hypocrisy among adults at such an early age. They just need to be happy and grow up happily.
Therefore, when Tiedan was suddenly praised in front of his two little friends, he involuntarily stood up slightly, his wrinkled little face instantly relaxed, and even the little spout that could hang an oil bottle was retracted.
When Xia Mo saw his slightly raised chin, head held high and chest puffed out, he couldn't help but think of the proud little peacock, and he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuzi blinked his eyes, looked at Tiedan with admiration, and said, "I've heard about it too, Tiedan, you're really awesome. I want to be a little hero like you in the future."
But Brother Yi, with his clear eyes, asked Xia Mo in a naive way: "Aunt, what is narrow-minded?"
Xia Mo just said it casually, so he didn't expect Brother Yi to ask him this question, so he thought about it for a while before saying:
"Narrow-mindedness means that you are controlled by things that make you unhappy. Only by overcoming it can you become stronger and become a real man to protect the people you want to protect."
Brother Yi blinked, still not understanding half of what was said. He seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
So he looked at Tiedan and the others for a few moments, and then he said to Xia Mo seriously: "I will become a man, and protect Grandpa like Tiedan protects his mother."
"Well, auntie believes in you, you will all become little heroes." Xia Mo said with a smile on her bright eyes, thinking that these little guys were so innocent and cute, and she wanted to stroke them like crazy.
Seeing that their aunt trusted them so much, the three little ones were extremely happy, and they devoted themselves to the task of feeding the horses. Although they were young, they knew that the little heroes would ride horses in the future.
So poor Mo Ying, he had no idea that he had been targeted by the little brat in front of him, and was still chewing the tender green grass with relish.
After feeding the horses, the three little guys went to swing for a while. Seeing that they were all taking turns playing obediently, Xia Mo said, "You guys play here for a while, and auntie will bring you some snacks."
After these words were spoken, the three little guys looked at Xia Mo with bright eyes.
"Wow! Snacks! Great, great!" Tiedan applauded.
"Aunt, please go and get it. We won't run around here." Little Zhuzi was also very greedy.
Although Brother Yi didn't say anything, his face was full of anticipation.
So after Xia Mo responded, he got up and went into the house to get a handful of leftover malt sugar, the kind that came in single-piece packages, and divided it equally among each person, three pieces. Then he went to the kitchen and brought over a plate of glutinous rice cakes.
"Hmm~, this candy is so delicious...and this glutinous rice strip...gulp, it tastes better than the one my dad made!" Little Zhuzi said with his big round eyes, then picked up a glutinous rice cake and gobbled it up.
Tiedan also stuffed his mouth full, "I told you... Auntie is very good... Auntie eats too?"
Brother Yi nodded while eating, but saw Xia Mo just smiling at them without picking up his chopsticks, so he asked, "Auntie, don't you want to eat?" He had never eaten such sweet and soft glutinous rice strips.
"Haha, auntie has eaten. If you like it, eat more." Seeing that their cheeks were bulging from eating, Xia Mo couldn't help but rub the little head of Yi Ge'er who was closest to him.
He went to the kitchen to make the glutinous rice cake because he felt too bored, thinking that he could eat it when Lingchuan came back at noon. At the same time, he could take some with him when he went to release the horses in the afternoon, so that he could take it out to satisfy his craving when he was hungry or wanted to eat something.
But since the little guy gave him such useful information and even came to his house to feed Mo Ying, how could he, as an adult, be stingy? Moreover, these little guys were so cute.
Of course, he kept Lingchuan's share for him.
The three little ones believed whatever Xia Mo said, so when he said they had eaten, they had eaten. They didn't say much and just kept eating.
After eating the glutinous rice cake, they played at Ling’s house for most of the day before they got tired. Then they said goodbye to Xia Mo and said they would come back to feed the horses another day.
After hearing this, Xia Mo naturally agreed and told them not to go to dangerous places to play.
The kids walked and replied, "Okay, Auntie, let's go to the east end of the village to play with Dapang."
"Yeah." Xia Mo responded. He didn't look away until the three little ones jumped away. Then he closed the door and murmured in a low voice: "Li..."
As the words fell, Xia Mo's starry eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth pursed. The smiling faces of the children that were as warm as spring sunshine just now were instantly covered by cold ice.
In the past, Li had always forced Ze Ge'er to go up the mountain to collect firewood. How could a woman as vicious and lazy as her go up the mountain for nothing? It was obvious that she had made an appointment with someone.
As for who to date? Xia Mo narrowed his eyes, and a man who had been cheated by him suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Is it Wang Mazi?" Xia Mo said to himself. If that was true, it would be great.
Xia Mo couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips as he thought about it, like a hunter who smelled the weakness of his prey.
So in the afternoon, when Ling Chuan came back from the fields, he found that his little brother seemed to be in a particularly good mood. He was humming a little tune, and his expression was very calm when facing him.
For this reason, Ling Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at the young man.
Xia Mo seemed to have sensed something, turned around and looked at him, and immediately noticed the hint of doubt in the man's eyes.
"Ze'er, is there something good happening?" Ling Chuan took the initiative to speak.
"Want to know?" Xia Mo asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Ling Chuan nodded. Of course he wanted to know what made his little brother so happy.
Xia Mo did not hide anything, "This morning, Tiedan and his friends brought some wild grass to our house to feed Moying. I accidentally learned something very interesting from their words."
"Oh?" Ling Chuan became even more curious.
"In the morning, they went to pick wild vegetables with Yuger and Liu Mian. Guess who they met walking up the mountain?" Xia Mo deliberately teased him.
However, Ling Chuan replied without thinking, "Li?"
"Haha, that's right, the one who knows me best is Brother Chuan." Xia Mo added, "For someone as lazy as Li, I don't believe that she went up the mountain to look for wild vegetables, not to mention that Brother Yi also said that she came back empty-handed."
"Ze'er thinks she is having a secret meeting with someone." Ling Chuan was like a worm in Xia Mo's stomach, and he directly expressed what he was thinking.
"Yeah." Xia Mo nodded and smiled, then raised his eyes and looked directly at the man and said seriously, "Brother Ling, I don't want to wait anymore."
He is very happy now, but the happier he is, the more guilty he feels about Ze Ge'er's affairs. Since he said he would help him get revenge, he will definitely do what he says.
During this period, he had no contact with Liu Dazhi's family. Just because he had been treated so poorly in front of the villagers before, even if something really happened to their family, it would not be blamed on him.
Besides, he is no longer penniless and has to rely on other men for his livelihood.
Ling Chuan looked at the young man whose eyes were gradually deepening, and said sincerely: "Then don't wait." He said that as long as the young man wanted, he would fully support him.
Thinking of this, he changed the subject and told a story that made Xia Mo exclaim that God was helping him.
