Chapter 580 Extra - Ai Xiaolan 1
Ai Xiaolan looked curiously at the man who was carried out by Am to bask in the sun at the door.
He was wearing a jacket of ethnic minority, was a little thin, and his face was pale and weak.
Am asked her to bring the rice noodles to the man, and Ai Xiaolan handed the bowl to him.
He glanced at Ai Xiaolan coldly, didn't answer the call, and was very unfriendly. He ignored her and turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance.
Ai Xiaolan was not angry. She put the bowl on the stool next to him and started eating the rice noodles cooked by Am.
She likes to eat rice noodles with mushrooms and a poached egg. She turned her head and looked. There was no mushroom in Am's bowl, but there was in her bowl and the man's bowl.
Amu pointed at the man and told her in broken Mandarin, "Xixi, Alugo, Alugo..."
Ai Xiaolan understood, his name is Alugo.
After eating rice noodles, Ai Xiaolan played with the local dog at home. In just half a month, she became friends with the dog named Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng was also yellow and very smart. She thought that it should look very similar to Shanshan's Xiaohua.
Alugo still didn't speak, like a mute, and Am slowly began to take her out.
In the morning, when it was still dawn, Am took her into the mountains to pick mushrooms. She used gestures and dialect to tell Ai Xiaolan which mushrooms were edible (put in the basket) and which mushrooms were poisonous (step on them).
The two of them searched separately. Am looked up at Ai Xiaolan from time to time. Seeing that she was still in his sight, he continued to look for mushrooms with peace of mind.
The sun came out, and Am waved at her, chattering something. Ai Xiaolan looked at her gestures and heard the two words "Xixi", and knew that she was asking her to go home.
She walked towards the other person and handed her the basket. "Look, Am, can I have these?"
She heard that eating poisonous mushrooms can be fatal, so she didn't dare to be careless.
Am rummaged through her basket, which was half full of mushrooms. She smiled and gave Ai Xiaolan a thumbs up.
What I mean is, you are so awesome, you have found so many, you are so capable.
Ai Xiaolan's eyes lit up. She thought Am was a good person.
Ai Xiaolan followed her back. When they passed the narrow bridge over the stream, Am reached out to hold Ai Xiaolan's hand, fearing that she would lose her balance and get scared. Ai Xiaolan's hand was held tightly by Am's rough hand, and they strode onto the bridge which was tied together with two trees.
Am took good care of her. She took Ai Xiaolan to the stream to wash clothes and quilts. She carried the load on her shoulders and let Ai Xiaolan hold the laundry beater. She also caught crabs for her to play with.
When she saw people, she pointed at Ai Xiaolan, smiling and talking loudly to others.
Ai Xiaolan felt that Am was a bit like Grandma Liao on the street. When Grandma Liao showed off her eldest grandson, her expression was exactly the same as Am's. She couldn't understand what everyone said and could only smile at people.
Am took Ai Xiaolan to the field to pick vegetables. He put a straw hat on Xiaolan's head, helped her tidy her hair, rinsed the cucumber with water and handed it to her. He grabbed a cucumber and took a bite, motioning Ai Xiaolan to eat it.
Ai Xiaolan followed her example, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite of the cucumber. It was very crisp and sweet. She said loudly to Am in Mandarin, "It's delicious and sweet."
Eminem was still the same as before, nodding no matter what she said, "Yeah, yeah, hao hao hao."
Gradually, Ai Xiaolan could speak a few simple words in the dialect, and Am praised her for being so amazing.
Am took her to the market to sell mushrooms and fruits. She asked Ai Xiaolan to stand beside her, and Xiaofeng squatted at Ai Xiaolan's feet. She looked back at Ai Xiaolan from time to time, and felt relieved to see that she was honest.
After selling everything, Am took her hand and walked home. When they passed the meat stall, she stopped, turned her head to look at Ai Xiaolan, then thought about her son at home, and asked the butcher to cut half a pound of meat.
On the way home, Ai Xiaolan saw that Am looked tired and took the backpack from her back. Xiaofeng smelled the meat and kept circling around Ai Xiaolan and licking her feet.
Ai Xiaolan laughed loudly and ran towards the village. Xiaofeng chased after her, woof woof woof~
Eminem also ran behind, shouting, "Xixi, Xixi..."
Xiaofeng gave birth to three puppies with beautiful fur. After a month, Am wanted to take them to the market to sell them for 3 cents each, but Ai Xiaolan was reluctant to do so, so she didn't sell any of the three puppies.
When they were a little older, someone from the village came to ask for the puppies to raise, but Am refused.
There are many mosquitoes in the countryside. Even though she had used tree branches to smoke out the mosquitoes, there were still mosquitoes buzzing in her ears in the room. Ai Xiaolan turned over in her sleep. In a daze, she felt Am sitting up, and then a large cattail leaf fan gently fanned over her, bringing a refreshing cool breeze.
With four dogs, the house became more lively. Every time Ai Xiaolan sat at the door with her bowl to eat, Xiaofeng would squat in front of her with his three children, looking at her eagerly.
Ai Xiaolan named the three puppies "Rouwanzi, Juanjuan, and Shoudechang" respectively.
Curly's fur is a little curly, and he lives a long life. There are three circles on his body. People say one circle is good, two circles are bad, and three circles mean a quick death, so Ai Xiaolan calls it Live Long.
She likes Meatball the most because Meatball’s fur is white with yellow spots and is very cute.
Listening to Ai Xiaolan shouting, "Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs."
Am went out with the basket on his back in embarrassment. When he came back in the afternoon, he brought a small piece of meat, and the kitchen was filled with the sound of clanging.
Ai Xiaolan ran in and saw Am cracking eggs on the minced meat and stirring it with chopsticks. She couldn't help but ask, "Am, what delicious food are you making?"
Am laughed and said, "Don't you want meatballs? Am makes meatballs."
Ai Xiaolan was stunned. She knew that Alugo needed to take medicine and his family was not well off. She didn't expect that when she called for meatballs, Am thought she wanted to eat meatballs and made them for her.
She ran to the room and took a look, and found that the dried mushrooms in the wooden box were gone. Am had clearly said that the price of the mushrooms would be higher after a while when merchants would come to buy them. She had kept them well and often took them out to dry for fear that they would get damp and spotted. She planned to wait for someone to come and buy them and sell them at a high price.
Ai Xiaolan was a little envious of Aru, that cold-blooded man. His Am was so nice, and he always made Am angry and cry. She really wanted to feed him poisonous mushrooms.
Am planted a lot of corn. Ai Xiaolan followed her and carried the corn down the mountain one basket at a time. She fell and it was very painful.
When I got home and saw Am, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer and cried loudly.
She didn't know what was going on, she just felt wronged. She didn't cry when Ai Chengpeng beat her with a belt until her skin was torn and she passed out. She felt that she was becoming weaker and weaker.
Am pulled up her trouser legs, her knees were bloody and bright red blood was oozing out. She frowned and muttered something very quickly.
When Alugo heard Ai Xiaolan crying, he turned his head to look and asked Am to pick the herbs he planted in the yard, chew them up and apply them on Ai Xiaolan's knees.
The herbal medicine felt cool and it didn't hurt as much.
Ai Xiaolan couldn't go to the cornfield, so Am asked her to rest at home and went to pick corn herself.
After all the corn was harvested, dried and peeled one by one, Am was exhausted and became darker and thinner. Fortunately, the corn collector came and sold the corn at a good price. More than 300 kilograms of corn kernels were sold for 81 yuan.
Am happily went to the market to buy meat. She said she wanted to make meatballs for Xixi, and also buy some medicine for Aru and some beautiful sandals for Xixi.
