Chapter 22 Section 22

"You... who are you looking for?" Hu Miaoxian's father asked, rubbing the back of his head, regardless of whether his hands were dirty. The woman said pitifully: "Brother, I live next door. I had a quarrel with my husband and I want to go back to my mother's house. But the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the road is very difficult. I can't walk here anymore. Brother Please do me a favor, I want to rest at your house. If it's convenient, it would be even better if I can stay here for one night. " Hu Miaoxian's father was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't call me big brother, I'm not young. It's okay to rest, but I'm afraid it's not convenient to stay."

The mother in the room heard their conversation, hurried out, pulled the woman into the room enthusiastically, and reprimanded Hu Miaoxian's father: "Look at a little daughter-in-law with a child and being bullied by the men at home, how pitiful! What's the inconvenience! Don't worry, you can rest your feet or stay overnight. Come in, it's snowing outside, don't freeze you and the child." After entering the room, Hu Miaoxian's mother poured her a cup of hot water, then wanted to see the child, and was about to open the tightly wrapped swaddling clothes, but was stopped by the woman.She refused to let Hu Miaoxian's mother see her child.

Hu Miaoxian's mother thought that she was reluctant to open the swaddle for fear that the child would catch a cold, so she smiled and said, "I saw you wrapped the child so tightly, and wanted to let him breathe." The woman waved her hand and actually put the child on the ground. Hu Miaoxian's mother was taken aback and asked her to put the child on the hot kang. Unexpectedly, the woman would never put the child on the hot kang.The two argued for a while, and she finally agreed to put the child in a lukewarm place near the kang. The scene was a little awkward. "Big brother and big sister, let me make dumplings for you." She glanced at the dumpling stuffing and dumpling wrappers that were put aside.

"That's good." Hu Miaoxian's mother moved the basin containing dumpling stuffing between the two of them. So, they made dumplings together.Wrapped and wrapped, Hu Miaoxian's father discovered something unusual. Most of the meat filling in the pot is gone, but there are not many dumplings.If things go on like this, a pot of stuffed dumplings is not enough for one person to eat. Hu Miaoxian's father squinted at the woman through the weak light, and found that she secretly stuffed the meat stuffing in her hand into her mouth.There was still minced raw meat left on the edge of his mouth.

"Could it be that this woman is very hungry?" He thought to himself, without saying a word, "No, even if you are very hungry, you can't eat raw meat." He sneaked a look at the woman again, and this time he saw the shadow behind her.Since the lamp was in the middle of them, behind each of them there was a big shadow swaying on the wall.The shadow of that woman was not herself, but a huge mouse. At that time, Hu Immortal had something to do, and Hu Miao didn't notice anything unusual about her. Hu Miaoxian's father secretly tore off his clothes under the table, squinting and beckoning him to look at the shadow of the woman.

Hu Miao understood it first, and didn't say a word.
