Reborn in the 60s and adopted

That day, Tang Mei and Pei Yanyan got up early and ran around the village. They practiced military boxing for a while before having breakfast. Aunt Tang San prepared breakfast early and ate it herself. She left the breakfast for others in the pot and went out to work.

The two elder sisters were planning to move to the Youth House today, and they didn't want her to follow them, saying that it was a mess everywhere and they were afraid she would trip. Tang Mei felt bored so she planned to go to the village brigade headquarters under the locust tree to listen to the village gossip.

Under the locust tree, a group of old ladies were embroidering shoe soles in their hands and chatting.

Tang Mei found a smooth stone where people usually sat and sat down.

"Hey, Meimei, why did you come out to play today, alone?" said the lonely old lady Grandma Wang.

"Grandma Wang, I have nothing to do at home today, so I thought I'd come out to see if you're here and listen to you guys having a good time chatting." Usually when Wang Ran had nothing to do, he would bring her here to listen to village gossip, and gradually she got to know these old ladies.

"Haha, this little girl is so sweet." Grandma Wang said to Grandma Li next to her.

Old Lady Li also heard Tang Mei's words and echoed her even more enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes, this little girl is still well behaved."

"Haha, I feel embarrassed by all the praise from the grandmas. Have you had breakfast?" Tang Mei asked with concern.

"We ate it, we ate it, all thanks to the village chief. If it weren't for the rice mixed with corn bran that he got from somewhere and gave it to us old men and women, we probably wouldn't have survived this autumn harvest." Grandma Wang looked grateful.

"Yes, no one in our village starved to death, thanks to Tang Quan." Old man Qiu recalled with a sad face, "An old friend from the neighboring village who used to fight the Japanese together starved to death before the New Year, and his grave has been covered with grass."

"Oh, that's right. We were so hungry and exhausted in the past six months that we couldn't come to the old place of the brigade headquarters to see our old friends like now." Another old man Li said.

Tang Mei was also glad in her heart. If it weren't for her uncle and aunt, her grave would probably have been overgrown with grass.

Tang Mei was listening to their conversation attentively when a woman with a swaying figure came towards them from a distance of more than ten meters. She wore a straw hat with a big red dahlia on her head and a bamboo basket on her arm, which seemed to contain something.

"Hey. Is this woman from our village? I don't look familiar with her." Old man Li was asking Grandma Wang next to him.

Grandma Wang looked at the woman and felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was at once.

After a while, the woman came closer, and Tang Mei recognized her immediately. It turned out to be her biological mother Li Shuzhen, whose body she hadn't seen for several months. Li Shuzhen saw this group of old men and women with nothing to do and was about to walk past with her head held high with disdain on her face. Suddenly, she stepped back, as if she had seen something incredible.

"My goodness, isn't this Tang Laoer's wife? She can't see us." Grandma Wang said sarcastically, unable to stand Li Shuzhen's proud look.

"Oh, this is Grandma Wang. I was just thinking about something and didn't see you. Uncle Li, Grandpa Qiu,... you are all here." When Li Shuzhen heard what Grandma Wang said, she had to greet them one by one.

"Hmph." Several old men and women snorted in response.

"Where are you going?" Grandma Wang continued to ask Li Shuzhen.

"I'm going to buy some pheasant meat. My old illness has come back recently. My second brother is not available today, so I have to go out and buy it myself." Li Shuzhen was worried that the pheasant would be bought by someone else, so she ignored her head of the family's advice to wait until he came back before going.

"Oh, it's so rare for you to come out. If you stay out for a while longer, the villagers won't recognize you." Grandma Wang and her old friends have been staying under the big locust tree almost all these years and have rarely seen her come out. What's more, she actually didn't want Tang Mei, such a well-behaved daughter, so they disliked her even more.

"Haha, hasn't my health always been poor?" Li Shuzhen said a little guiltily. Suddenly she thought of Tang Mei, the culprit who caused her poor health.

So she raised her head which had just been buried in guilt.

"Who is this? Isn't this the damn girl who almost caused me to die in childbirth? This is what Tang Lao San taught you. Don't even call out to your elders when you see them." Li Shuzhen stared at Tang Mei fiercely in a sharp voice. She just didn't recognize this damn girl at first, so she went back to confirm it. Unexpectedly, this damn girl has grown taller and fatter.

"Second Aunt." Tang Mei called her mother very reluctantly, so she had to follow what Li Shuzhen said last time when she said goodbye and called her Second Aunt.

"Hmph, hurry up and take the basket in my hand back to my house. You have no manners at all." Li Shuzhen still thought she was the same yellow-haired girl who never retaliated when she was scolded or beaten.

"Yes." Tang Mei could only obediently step forward and take the basket from her in front of so many elderly people. Damn it, if she wasn't the original owner's biological mother, she really wanted to punch her in the face. How could she have the nerve to let her help her with work?

"Hmph, a money-losing commodity." Li Shuzhen rolled her eyes at Tang Mei and walked in front, swaying her small waist.

Tang Mei followed her and heard her scolding. A thousand horses were running through her heart. Now she was no longer the Tang Mei who would be very sad when she was scolded by her. She just treated her as if she didn't exist, so don't blame her for being rude if she was scolded.

After they left, Tang Mei could still hear Grandma Wang's voice.

"Alas, Tang Mei hasn't changed. She still listens to her mother."

"Then what should she do? After all, she is still her mother who gave birth to and raised her." said Old Mrs. Li.

"Fortunately, Tang Mei went to Tang Laosan's house, otherwise she would have been wasted by her mother." Grandma Wang sighed.
