Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

"What are you doing?"

When the second cousin saw her niece and her son fighting over the silver lock, she got angry and slapped her niece in the face.

Zhaodi's tiger-head hat was knocked off and she burst into tears.

Shen Zhao frowned, walked over and pulled Zhaodi away, and said to his second cousin, "The children are arguing with each other, why did you hit her?"

The second cousin looked unhappy and said coldly, "What's wrong with me hitting her? A little girl who doesn't behave herself should be disciplined."

Shen Zhao was about to say something when his mother stopped him and said, "Let's go see if your aunt can help us."

"Yes." Shen Zhao agreed and took Zhaodi to the kitchen.

My aunt and my cousin's wife were cutting meat and putting it on plates, including lamb, chicken, pork, and braised lamb offal and pig heads.

There were also steamed buns and sticky cakes, as well as potatoes and sweet potatoes in the pot.

"Aunt, you guys go sit in the main room. The food is ready. We'll start eating when Uncle arrives." Mrs. Wu also heard the sound of her sister-in-law scolding her daughter and was very unhappy.

But Second Aunt and A Zhao were both there, so it was not easy for her to quarrel with her sister-in-law.

Zhang Shanyue and her daughter did not go to the main house, but sat by the stove and chatted with their aunt.

The two families waited until everyone was present before going to the main house to have dinner together.

During this period, Zhaodi always stayed by Shen Zhao's side, even eating together.

Shen Zhao thought she was frightened, so he patted her head and said a few words to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Zhaodi whispered, "Aunt, I want to live with you."

Shen Zhao was puzzled: "Why do you want to live with me?"

Zhaodi sniffed and whispered, "Because only my aunt likes me, my grandmother and my parents all like my little brother."

Shen Zhao:.
In fact, Zhaodi misunderstood. She didn't like children very much. The reason she was friendly to the sisters was just out of pity.

After dinner, Shen Zhao was about to say goodbye to her parents and brother and leave when her second cousin suddenly stopped her with her child in hand, "A Zhao, can I stay with you today?"

Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had to contact his elder brother in the evening, so he declined politely, "It's not convenient for me."

The second cousin's face suddenly darkened: "What's so inconvenient about you living in a room by yourself? Is there someone else hiding in the room?"

"Er Ni, what are you talking about?" The eldest aunt frowned and scolded, "I told you to stay with me tonight, what's wrong? Are you looking down on your mother?"

"Bao'er makes noises at night, wasn't I afraid of disturbing you?" The second cousin said, still looking at Shen Zhao, as if waiting for her consent.

Shen Zhao remained motionless, pretending not to see anything.

Zhang Shanyue had no choice but to smooth things over for his daughter: "How about Erni, you sleep with me tonight, and I'll let your second uncle go to Ah Heng's room."

Shen Erni pouted, but finally agreed: "Okay, it's just that Bao'er is a little naughty, please don't dislike it, Second Aunt."

"What are you talking about? You finally get to go back to your parents' home, and how many days can you stay here?" Zhang Shanyue laughed and invited Erni to go with him.

Shen Zhao returned home first, and immediately hid in the side room and closed the door.

She really didn't like naughty boys and didn't want to chat with her second cousin.

If you have that much free time, you might as well browse the Bronze Mirror Mall or do a live broadcast to learn more about that world.

After a while, the second cousin brought the child into the yard, and then Shen Zhao heard his door being slammed.

Even though the mother Zhang Shanyue repeatedly emphasized that her daughter needed to rest, she was unable to stop the little boy from kicking the door.

Finally, I heard my second cousin's weird voice: "Second Aunt, is there really someone hiding in Zhao's room? Otherwise, why would you lock the door in broad daylight?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Shanyue was angry, and bent down to hold the baby away from the door: "Er Ni, you should take the child back first. Your second uncle and I are old and can't stand such a commotion."

Er Ni was immediately annoyed when she saw her second aunt chasing people away. She snatched her son away and walked out, shouting as she walked, "You think you're so great just because you're rich? Even your niece was chased away when she came to visit!"

"Humph! Who would keep their door closed in the middle of the day? They can't even keep a child inside! No wonder there are rumors that the Shen family's daughter is hooking up with other men. It turns out it's all true!"

Shen Zhao got off the kang, opened the door, and said coldly to his second cousin: "Second cousin, please tell me clearly, which daughter of the Shen family is flirting with other people?"

Erni rolled her eyes: "Of course it's not me."

"Er Ni!" Shen Ang looked gloomy and scary, and said in a cold tone: "Can you say what you just said again?"

"What? What did I say?" Erni saw that her uncle was angry and didn't dare to say anything. She ran away with the child in her arms.

The reason why Erni insisted on coming along today was that she wanted to get some benefits from Shen Zhao, because the neighbors said that Shen Zhao was very rich and had opened an inn on the official road.

Who would have thought that Shen Zhao, this bitch, would ignore her! She even refused to let her enter the house!
The more Erni thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't dare go back immediately, for fear that her mother would scold her.

So she simply took the child to Xue's house.

Before she got married, Wang, the wife of the Xue family, would always talk to her and often ask about Shen Zhao.

At that time, her parents had warned her not to reveal Shen Zhao's background to outsiders, so she said nothing.

Now?
Erni sneered.

Since you are unkind, I will be unjust!
When I arrived at Xue's house, I saw that the door was deserted and there was no sign of New Year's joy.

Fortunately, the Xue couple and their two children were at home. One of them was taking her son to study in the side room, while the other was embroidering with her daughter.

"Happy New Year, Aunt Xue!" Erni stood outside the fence holding Baoer and greeted.

Xue Wang looked up and didn't recognize her: "You are..."

"I'm Erni from the Shen family. Don't you recognize me?" Shen Erni said with a smile while holding the child.

Mrs. Xue Wang thought for a moment, then she remembered, so she stood up and greeted, "It turned out to be the second daughter of the Shen family, come in and sit down."

Shen Erni carried her son into the house and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years. Is Aunt Xue okay?"

Xue Wang said with a dull look, "Very good."

Turning to his daughter, he said, "Lingyao, this is Shen Erni, the daughter of Aunt Shen. Do you remember her?"

Xue Lingyao raised her eyelids and said calmly, "I don't remember."

Shen Erni smiled awkwardly, put the child down, knelt down in front of Mrs. Xue Wang, and whispered, "Aunt Xue, didn't you always ask me about Shen Zhao before? Today I remember everything."

Xue Wang's eyes lit up and she asked quickly, "What did you remember?"

Shen Erni smiled without saying anything, holding her son with one hand to prevent him from running around.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xue Wang hurriedly said to her daughter, "Lingyao, go get a plate of shortbread for your sister Shen to try."

Xue Lingyao reluctantly got up to serve the pastries.

By the way, I also filled a pot of water and put it on the small charcoal stove.

When Baoer saw the shortbread, he rushed over and hugged the entire plate into his arms: "Mine! All mine!"

Suddenly the whole plate of biscuits was scattered all over the floor, and some were even crushed into crumbs.

Xue Lingyao was so distressed that she kept wincing. She glanced at the child in annoyance and kicked his leg to the side. (End of this chapter)
