Today, Xiaoxiao and Madam Song were at home. The brothers went to the fields with their father to work and prepare to plant seedlings, so they did not go out to set up the stall. When they saw Second Aunt Ning coming, Madam Song was about to deliver food to them.
Recently, the Ning Family had also started to eat three meals. Of course, this was mainly because they had to work in the fields. Xiaoxiao said, “How can they have the strength to work if they’re not full? They don’t even make donkeys work hungry, let alone humans.” Although her words were a little annoying, she still received Madam Song’s approval. Moreover, her family’s life had improved recently, so she couldn’t bear to treat her husband and children badly.

Then, she added the pickled vegetables and sauce she made at home. With a bite, the thick and harmonious taste could drive away fatigue. Xiaoxiao even specially filled the bamboo tube her father made with hot radish bone soup. They could take a bite of the pancake and a sip of the soup. It was extremely beautiful.
Recently, the villagers, who were also working in the fields, were especially envious of the Ning Family’s eldest branch as soon as it was time for dinner. Although they couldn’t see what was in the pancake from afar and the Ning Family didn’t like to tell them, they couldn’t resist its fragrance! Hence, Second Aunt Ning naturally coveted this smell. Madam Song was embarrassed for her.
Her three children had never swallowed their saliva in front of someone else’s kitchen. Second Aunt was a grown-up after all!
Madam Song hated the old residence for secretly learning sour bamboo shoots and even suppressed the price to sell them. After that, they even falsely accused her family of secretly learning their skills. Madam Song pretended not to understand the desire in Second Aunt Ning’s eyes. She covered the basket with the food and asked, “What’s the matter, Second Sister-in-law?”
Second Aunt Ning drooled with difficulty. She pulled her gaze out of the kitchen and picked up the basket of needles and thread. “Isn’t it because the weather is good that I came to talk to you?”
Madam Song did not feel that she had anything to say to her, so she said indifferently, “That’s really a coincidence. I was just about to send food to the children’s father.”
Second Aunt Ning had never been tempted by food before. She leaned over and was about to lift the basket. “What are you eating? Let me take a look.”
Madam Song turned around and dodged it. “It’s just a pancake made by our family. It’ll turn cold when you open it. It’ll affect the taste later. If you have nothing else to do, Second Aunt, I’ll go get busy first.” She immediately chased her away.
Xiaoxiao listened from inside and wished she could give her mother a bewitching praise. However, after looking at the needles, threads, and a bunch of items in Second Aunt Ning’s hand, she blinked and pulled open the door to run out after her mother left. As she ran, she shouted, “Mother, you missed the bucket of soup!”
Not long after she left, Second Aunt Ning turned back sneakily. Xiaoxiao’s voice was loud and she had not gone far, so she heard it clearly. What was even better was that that brat had forgotten to lock the door before leaving.

Xiaoxiao caught up with Madam Song halfway. She lifted the basket and counted. She knocked her head. “Aiya, so 1 counted wrongly. However, I’ve already sent them over. Mother, you might as well bring them all. You can drink some yourself when they come.”
After saying that, she exclaimed, “Aiya, I had to come out in a hurry. The door wasn’t locked!” Then, she ran back.
Madam Song watched in amusement as her daughter ran far away, but she did not pay much attention to the matter of “locking the door”. The villagers of Fortune Village were simple and honest, and there were no hooligans in the village. How could it be so coincidental for their poor family to encounter someone breaking into their house in broad daylight?
Xiaoxiao didn’t think so. Moreover, when she walked out of the house, she also saw a door that was completely different from before she left. She licked her lips, rubbed her hands, and picked up the wooden club used to wash clothes outside the fence. She listened to the commotion in the courtyard and shouted when she saw other villagers passing by—
“Where did this thief come from!”
