After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 407 Different Children

Xiao Anyu seemed to sense something and turned his head to look at them. Sure enough, he saw his uncles looking at him.

"So sensitive." Xia Mo unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him.

Ling Chuan still had no expression on his face, and asked irrelevantly: "Have you decided what to do?"

Xia Mo thought for two seconds, then glanced at the man, "Then let's make a cake?"

Ling Chuan finally smiled, "Yeah."

Xiao Anyu opened his mouth slightly, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Uncle Ling smiled...

"Kids! Your Uncle Ling and I are going to make some cakes, so be careful! If you have any problems, call Uncle, okay?"

Xia Mo said loudly.

Suddenly, when Tiedan heard Aunt Wenrou say that she was going to make food, his eyes lit up and his expression brightened. He said excitedly, "Great! Aunt! I want to eat two!"

Xia Mo agreed and went to the kitchen with Ling Chuan.

As soon as they left, Tiedan turned around and said to Xiao Anyu, "Brother Xiao Anyu, you are so lucky. Aunt Wenrou knows how to make things."

Tiedan looked greedy and was even savoring the taste. Xiao Anyu was silent for a while when he saw this.

He had only eaten meals cooked by his uncle twice, but this kid named Tiedan seemed to eat them often.

"You, why do you call Liu uncle and aunt?" Xiao Anyu asked.

Tiedan became happy as soon as he spoke, feeling that he was really amazing for getting the taciturn boy to speak so quickly.

"Of course it's because Auntie is Uncle Ling's husband. Uncle's husband and wife are all called Auntie." Tiedan explained confidently.

"Then why should I call you uncle?" Xiao Anyu asked again.

"Ah, this..." Tiedan scratched his head, feeling stumped, and turned to ask Xiao Anyu: "Oh, right, why do you call him Uncle Liu?"

Xiao Anyu was speechless for a moment.

The two little brats looked at each other for a moment, until the swing slowly stopped, Xiao Anyu said faintly: "Uncle Liu asked me to call him that."

Tiedan said "oh oh" twice, his eyes rolled around, and then he clapped his hands and said, "I understand!"

Xiao Anyu looked at him, questioning with his eyes.

"Because I like him. I've decided that from now on I will call him Uncle Liu like you do!" Tiedan said.

Xiao Anyu frowned and said without thinking, "No." It was as if his privileges were taken away.

"Why not? Since Uncle Liu likes it, he will definitely be very happy if I call him that too." Tiedan was puzzled, but he changed his words.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Anyu began to feel conflicted again. It was as if there was a scale in his heart, and he couldn't help but weigh which was more important: his own concern or making Uncle Liu happier.

The answer is not surprising, it is more important to make Uncle Liu happier.

"Then you can scream too." Xiao Anyu said as he jumped down, "I'll push you."

"Okay, okay!" Tiedan said without hesitation. He grabbed the rope, stuck his butt out and sat on it, then adjusted his sitting position. "I'm sitting well!"

So you can push!

Xiao Anyu hummed dejectedly. This child was very different from other children. He didn't dislike him, but he still felt at a disadvantage when he agreed to let him call him "Uncle Liu" with him.

"Brother Xiao Anyu, if you try harder, I can fly higher~"

Before Tiedan could finish his words, Xiao Anyu pushed his back with all his might, and he swung high in the air in an instant.

"Wow~ Hahaha, come again, come again..." Tiedan's voice was floating.

In the kitchen, Xia Mo, who was beating egg whites and egg yolks with Ling Chuan, couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "It seems that the two kids get along well."

"Well, is this okay?" Ling Chuan showed the egg white that had been stirred into a white and sticky consistency in a large porcelain bowl to the young man.

Xia Mo took a look and said, "Add another spoonful of white sugar and beat it into a snow-white oil."

Ling Chuan obediently added a spoonful of sugar and continued stirring with chopsticks.

"I'll go to the sugar factory this afternoon to check on the progress. If nothing goes wrong, it should be almost finished. By the way, tell Gong Ming to ask him to call Yingying over. The children are here, so you can look after them at home." Ling Chuan said.

Xia Mo had no objection. There were many people on the construction site and it was indeed not appropriate to bring children there.

"Then make more. Gong Ming is going into the city. Ask him to bring some to Yingying."

"can."

The reason why Gong Ming asked Yingying to come was mainly because Yingying had previously delivered secret letters to the people of Xuanyue Country on behalf of Prince Qiao and his son, so he wanted to find him to discuss something.

Since we want to stop the infiltration plans of the two major enemy countries, the best way is to get all the evidence first, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

This is just their temporary idea. After all, several princes and kings are still alive, and the relationships between them are complicated. Obtaining evidence is only the first step. What to do next depends on the specific situation.

The two of them didn't talk about these things in the kitchen, they only talked about business.

Now that the sugar factory is almost completed, they have to try making a batch of sugar to see what needs to be improved, otherwise there will be trouble later. The second thing is to choose an auspicious day for the official opening, and arrange matters such as slaughtering pigs for sacrifice and hanging plaques.

In addition to the sugar factory, the orchard and the chicken farm to be built in Shilipu cannot be completely shelved. At least one of them must be started. After all, that was the money invested by Lingchuan's brothers who had been through life and death with him.

All in all, they will be very busy next.

They were making cakes inside, and the two kids in the yard had stopped swinging on the swing.

Xiao Anyu really wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything he could do to help, but Tiedan insisted on dragging him to catch butterflies.

"Brother Xiao Anyu, this yellow butterfly is for you!" Tiedan has always been the eldest brother, so he takes good care of his thin and silent new brother, especially since this little brother is the son of Aunt Wenrou.

Xiao Anyu glanced at the butterfly whose wings were pinched by two fingers, then looked at the child who was looking at him expectantly, and took it hesitantly.

"Do you like it?" Tiedan said.

Xiao Anyu, who was already distracted from playing, said: "...I like it, thank you."

Tiedan laughed out loud, as if he was encouraged and became more expressive, "Then I'll catch it for you again!"

"No need." The butterfly in his hand was struggling, Xiao Anyu frowned, "Can I let it go?"

Tiedan glared, "Why? Don't you like it?"

Xiao Anyu thought for a moment and replied, "I like it, but I like it more when it's flying."

Tiedan muttered unhappily, "I caught this with great difficulty."

Xiao Anyu was very sensitive to other people's emotions and handed the butterfly directly to him.

"Back to you."

Tiedan was a little frustrated for a moment, and then he looked like he was not a stingy person.

"Things I give away are no longer mine. My mother said that people should be honest and trustworthy. Now that I've given it to you, it's yours. You can let it go if you want."

Xiao Anyu was slightly stunned. He thought the other party would be angry, scold him for being ungrateful, and never pay attention to him again. However, he never expected that the other party would actually compromise.

"Then I'll let you go?" Xiao Anyu asked uncertainly.

"Let it go, let it go. You like the flying ones, so I won't catch them."

Once Tiedan accepted it, she waved her hand happily and let him do as he pleased.

Xiao Anyu stared in astonishment, then retracted his gaze and lowered his head after a while, slowly loosening his fingertips that were pinching the butterfly's wings, and as soon as the butterfly was free, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Xiao Anyu followed it with his eyes, watching it fly towards the flowers...

"Iron egg!"

A loud boy's voice came from outside the Ling family's gate, and then two children walked in, looking around.

They are Xiao Zhuzi and Yige'er.

Someone's coming again! Xiao Anyu's mind was filled with alarm bells, and he reflexively wanted to turn around and run to the kitchen, but Tiedan, who wanted to show off his new partner, grabbed his hand.

"Brother Yi! Little Zhuzi! There is a new brother in my aunt's house!"

"A new brother?"

Xiao Zhuzi and Yi Ge'er looked at the strange child beside him almost at the same time.

Xiao Anyu, who failed to escape, was a little overwhelmed and even had the urge to hit someone, but he couldn't. In order to keep his own eyes open, he simply didn't look back.

Even if someone approached him, he would either turn his head away or lower it to hide, but unfortunately Tiedan always caught him off guard.

"Brother Xiao Anyu is very shy. Let me tell you, he has beautiful eyes, very different from ours, oh!"

Tiedan screamed in pain without warning, and the two children who were staring at Xiao Anyu curiously turned to look at him.

"What's your name?" It was still Xiao Zhuzi who spoke.

Tiedan looked at Xiao Anyu aggrievedly, "Why did you pinch me?"

Am I going to be beaten? Xiao Anyu's heartbeat quickened, and he said in a panic, "Let me go, I want to go to Uncle Liu!"

"Wait a minute. Let me introduce my companions first."

Tiedan felt that if he let go, he would run away, so he refused to let go.

Xiao Anyu had never seen such a child before, and his heart was burning with anger. He gritted his teeth and was about to raise his head regardless when he suddenly met a strange and surprised face. He immediately held his breath.

It was Xiao Zhuzi who squatted down, bent over and leaned over to look at Xiao Anyu's face.

He opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "It's really different. So beautiful. How did it change? Can mine change?"

Children's words are innocent, but they also touch people's hearts.

Xiao Anyu was stunned. Wasn't he afraid too? Why did he want to be like him?

"Hahaha, I told you it's beautiful, right? I want it too." Tiedan raised his chin slightly, not understanding what he was so proud of.

"I want to see it too." Yi Ge'er also came over and said, but he did not squat down to look like Xiao Zhuzi. Instead, he stared at Xiao Anyu, as if asking him if it was okay.

"Brother Xiao Anyu, don't keep your head down. Raise it so that Brother Yi can see it. He's going to be my wife when he grows up!"

Tiedan was making a fuss at the side, but was interrupted by Xiaozhuzi who stood up.

"Brother Yi didn't agree to your request. We were just playing house last time. It doesn't count."

"Why doesn't it count? It counts!" Tiedan was very dissatisfied.

Brother Yi glanced at them, not wanting to pay attention to them, and said softly to Xiao Anyu: "Hello, my name is Lu Yi, you can call me Brother Yi like them."

When Xiao Anyu said this, he was still a little dizzy. They were really different!

He bit his lip, unclenched his fists, exhaled gently, and raised his head.

It was a child with a red dot between his eyebrows, just like Uncle Liu, only a little taller than him. The look in his eyes was as surprised as that of the previous child, and not filled with deep hatred like those children before.

Xiao Anyu was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he opened his eyes wide and looked again and again.

Not even a trace...

After repeating it over and over again, Xiao Anyu was finally willing to believe and accept it.

"Hello."

The uncles had not lied to him. There were many people in this village who were easy to get along with.

"My name is Bamboo, you can call me Brother Bamboo!" Little Bamboo rushed to say.

Tiedan pouted and disagreed, "No, no, you are the second child, and he has never called me Brother Tiedan." Then he turned around and coaxed Xiao Anyu, "Brother Xiao Anyu, if you recognize me as your big brother, I will protect you in the future, and I will be the second one to share the delicious food with you."

Xiao Zhuzi continued, looking expectant: "Who do you want to share with first? Me?"

"Of course not." Tiedan looked disgusted, then turned to Yige'er with a smile, "The first one is for you, and you can be my wife when we play house, okay?"

Brother Yi nodded, "Sure."

There's food to eat and it doesn't hurt to perform.

"Great! Brother Yi agreed! What about you, brother Xiao Anyu?"

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Xiao Anyu couldn't escape and slowly responded with a "OK".

They didn't notice that when Xiao Zhuzi called Tiedan, two adults had been peeking at the kitchen door.

"Ah, they are all good kids. Uncle will reward you handsomely later." Xia Mo sighed in a dramatic voice. The more he looked at the three little ones, the more he liked them.

Ling Chuan said: "Are you relieved now?"

Xia Mo curled his fingers against his chin and said, "It's not bad. At least it's a good start. But it's impossible to be completely relieved. Not everyone is as pure and innocent as these little guys."

Ling Chuan did not deny this.

They looked at each other a few more times, and seeing that the four little guys were getting along harmoniously, they didn't intend to go over and get involved, so they turned around and went back to the kitchen.

A few minutes passed.

The four little ones all ran into the kitchen. It was the first time that Xiao Zhuzi and Yi Ge'er saw their elders after entering the house, so they both shouted "Hello, uncle" obediently.

Xia Mo responded with a smile, and also noticed that they had changed their way of addressing him. They no longer called him Aunt as usual, but Uncle Liu.

Although he didn't know what the kids talked about, Xiao Anyu was the only one who kept calling him Uncle Liu. He probably learned it from him.

Xia Mo was very happy to see this. Although he had adapted to the local customs and was used to people calling him aunt, in the end, uncle sounded better to him.

So he waved his hand generously and said that everyone would have an extra piece of cake when they had dinner later. The little ones' eyes lit up with joy and they almost jumped and screamed on the spot.

Ling Chuan standing next to him had completely become a background figure, feeling filled with emotion.

In the past, the kids were afraid of him, but now these little brats have become smarter and know who is the real boss when the little brother is around, and they are not afraid of him anymore.

"Uncle Liu, let me help you light the fire." Xiao Anyu glanced at the fire in the stove and volunteered.

Seeing this, the other three also rushed to say that they could do it too.

"No, I can light the fire myself. You don't know how to control the fire yet. Go out and play. I'll call you when it's ready."

Xia Mo found an excuse for them to go out and spend more time together, which was of great help to Xiao Anyu.

Xiao Anyu really wanted to stay in the kitchen, but he couldn't resist Tiedan and the others who were asked by Xia Mo to take him out to play. In the end, Tiedan and Xiao Zhuzi grabbed one of their hands each and half-dragged and half-pulled him out.
