Reborn in the 60s and adopted

There were many children in their teens helping to pick corn in the tall corn stalks on both sides of the river.

Children of this generation are more diligent. In her previous life, children in their teens were still under the care of their parents and could not do anything.

If you can cook, you will be praised by your parents and neighbors for a long time. It is a common thing here and there is almost nothing you can't cook.

"Hey, look, that's Tang Mei who was adopted out." A girl poked another girl who was picking corn. Both of them were wearing blue-gray overalls that were common in that era, with a lot of patches on them.

"Where is it?" The other one lifted the cloth on the veil on his head and looked out.

"There, on the road, wearing a new floral shirt and such a pretty straw hat. Hehe, she's really acting like a young lady." The girl said with a crooked mouth and a look of disdain pointing in the direction Tang Mei was walking.

"Hehe~ Even the eldest daughter was abandoned by her own mother. What's the use of dressing up beautifully?" said another girl.

Tang Mei listened to Xiaoxiao and didn't get angry because what they said was indeed the truth.

"Look, she's stupid, yet she's still laughing." The girl who laughed at her at first glared at Tang Mei.

"My two sisters, not only do you laugh at me for walking peacefully, but I can't even laugh myself." Tang Mei replied in a good-tempered manner.

"Who is your sister? Don't be so shameless as to try to claim to be related to me."

"..." Tang Mei rolled her eyes without saying anything, "Sister is just a respectful title, I don't really consider you my sister. You want to be my sister but I don't want to."

"You" the girl pointed at Tang Mei.

"What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?" Tang Mei said.

"Zhaodi, forget it." Another girl wearing a veiled hat grabbed Mao Zhaodi who was about to rush out.

"Qingqing, how can I let it go? Look at how sharp-tongued she is, so annoying." Mao Zhaodi slapped Mao Qingqing who was pulling her away and ran angrily to the ridge of the field towards Tang Mei's side.

"Hey, you..." Mao Qingqing followed Mao Zhaodi.

Tang Mei looked at Mao Zhaodi who was rushing towards her. Tang Mei estimated that she was only up to her waist. If a fight really came to a head, she would have to use her wits to outwit her. Forget it, she should just be patient and not use force instead of using words.

"You dead girl, no wonder no one wants you. Your mom doesn't want you, and your dad doesn't want you either. Look, your third aunt is pregnant now. When she gives birth to a younger brother, she will kick you out too." Mao Zhaodi pointed at Tang Mei, her saliva almost spraying all over the short Tang Mei's face.

Tang Mei looked unhappy, it was really disgusting.

"Just talk, can you please stop spitting? It's really disgusting." Tang Mei wiped her face.

"You..." Mao Zhaodi walked forward angrily and waved her hand, wanting to slap Tang Mei.

Blocked by Tang Mei using a military water bottle.

"Ah. You little stinky girl, it hurts me so much." Mao Zhaodi squatted down and covered her hand that was hurt by the iron lump.

"Zhao Di, are you okay?" Mao Qingqing hurried forward and took Mao Zhaodi's hand to check it left and right. The palm of her hand was stained red due to inertia by the kettle.

"Qingqing, it hurts so much." Mao Zhaodi was about to cry.

"Tang Mei, you should apologize to Zhaodi soon. How could you hit Zhaodi?" Mao Qingqing pointed at Tang Mei angrily.

"Haha." Tang Mei was so angry that she laughed. She thought this person was a good person at first. He had been persuading Mao Zhaodi, but she didn't expect that he was adding fuel to the fire and now he is turning the tables on her.

"You're still laughing. I will go back and tell my uncle that you bullied Zhaodi." Mao Qingqing looked at her and she was still laughing. She seemed indignant on the surface, but she felt very happy in her heart. Mao Zhaodi finally suffered a loss today.

"Okay, go ahead and sue me. I'm not afraid of you. You're always gossiping about other people and accusing them of wrongdoing. You really are a pair of good sisters." Tang Mei looked at the two of them calmly.

"You, you are talking nonsense. Who is putting the blame on others?" Mao Qingqing's eyes were a little vague.

"Qingqing, why are you arguing with her? Give her a slap for me." Mao Zhaodi looked at Mao Qingqing who was still arguing with Tang Mei.

"Come on, hit me." Tang Mei stretched her face closer to Mao Qingqing. Of course, she didn't really want to let her hit her. She was ready. If she hit her, she would run to the field nearby. If she hit the air, she might even fall down.

Mao Qingqing was so frightened by Tang Mei's actions that she stepped back repeatedly and almost stepped on Mao Zhaodi.

"Beat her. Qingqing." Mao Zhaodi shouted excitedly.

"Hit me, or I'll leave if you don't." Tang Mei looked at Mao Qingqing, who had her hands behind her back in fear, and sneered. She was so timid.

"I, I. Let's just forget about Zhaodi. She is only a few years old. We are almost ten years older than her. If we beat her, people will accuse us of bullying the weak." Mao Qingqing said in a low voice.

"Mao Qingqing, you are such a coward, you don't even dare to hit a little girl." Mao Zhaodi scolded Mao Qingqing excitedly. If her hand didn't hurt, she would have wanted to do it herself.

Tang Mei didn't care about their conversation and left first.

Humming a song, I was turning around the ridge of the field when I saw Tang Shu breaking corn in the field, only a few meters away from Mao Qingqing and the others.

Tang Shu was about to throw the corn into the backpack when she saw Tang Mei looking at her.

"Meimei, why are you irritating Zhaodi for no reason?" Tang Shu said in a low voice. If Tang Mei didn't have good hearing, she wouldn't have heard it.

"I didn't provoke her. She was the one who said no one wanted me. And she was the one who rushed over to hit me first. I just blocked her with a kettle and she hurt herself."

Tang Mei felt indescribably sad when she looked at Tang Shu. Her own sister was being bullied, and she was so close to him, but he didn't even show any desire to protect her.

"I think you have really been spoiled by your third aunt and uncle. Now you even know how to talk back." Tang Shu looked at her with disapproval.

"I..." Tang Mei suddenly didn't want to say anything.

"What are you doing? You pissed off Zhaodi. Do you think she will let it go? Her cousin is a reckless bastard. Who knows how he will bully people when the time comes. I hope he won't be implicated by you." Tang Shu said while not forgetting the work in his hands.

"Oh" Tang Mei was speechless.

"Go away. You don't listen even if I tell you. I don't want to say anything more to you. We are not a family anymore, so it's not our fault." Tang Shu muttered.

Tang Mei felt as if a thousand ants were crawling in her heart, making her feel itchy and uncomfortable, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Yeah, that's right. We're not a family anymore, so it's not your fault. So what are you worrying about?" Tang Mei asked Tang Shu loudly, and without waiting for her answer, she continued to walk towards Aunt Tang San with the kettle in her arms.

"You" Tang Shu was very angry after hearing her words. He wanted to curse back but he could not see Tang Mei anymore.

Tang Mei calmed herself down before walking to the corn field where she had brought Aunt Tang San.

"Meimei, come out quickly, drink some water and take a rest." Tang Mei shouted loudly. No one knew where they were starting. The corn stalks were so high that they could not see clearly.

"Oh, here she comes." Aunt Tang San was filling the last basket when she heard her daughter calling her.

"Sister-in-law, you go back. I can carry it over by myself. Come back in the afternoon." Wang Fengqun said.

"Old Wang, you've been really tired today, thank you." Aunt Tang was only responsible for breaking the nuts this morning. Old Wang and Aunt Tang had to break and carry the nuts together, so they must be very tired.

"We are talking about this. If you have any good things in the future, just call me." Wang Fengqun said with a smile.

"Okay," Aunt Tang San answered seriously.

"Hey, I was just joking, don't take it seriously, go back quickly. Your eldest daughter is waiting for you, don't let her get burned in such hot weather." Wang Fengqun said.

"Okay, I'll leave first and come back in the afternoon." Aunt Tang San walked out slowly, paying attention to her steps.

"Mom, here I am." Tang Mei looked at her Third Aunt coming out and waved to her happily.

"Oh, you must be hot." Aunt Tang San touched Tang Mei's head.

"No, I'm wearing a hat. Come and drink some water." Tang Mei handed her the kettle.

Aunt Tang San took the kettle and drank most of it in one gulp. Only then did she get rid of half of the Mao Jiaojiao feeling in her heart.

"Oh, Meimei, this is mint syrup, so delicious, where did it come from?" Aunt Tang San realized it was mint after she drank it.

"This is what I got in exchange for grinding medicine at Grandpa Zhang's house." Tang Mei said.

"Wow, my daughter is so awesome. Come on, let's go home. I'll make you something delicious." Aunt Tang San hugged Tang Mei and walked back.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell today?" Tang Mei asked with concern.

"I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, it's just like usual." Aunt Tang San felt almost the same as usual except that she was a little anxious just now.

"That's good, Mom. I have prepared lunch. It's simple," said Tang Mei.

"My daughter Meimei is so sensible. She was afraid that mom would be tired, so she even prepared the meal. She is so capable. What dishes did you cook?" Aunt Tang San asked with her head down.

"Potatoes and pork, salad with eggplant, tomato soup."

"That's amazing. Even better than mom." Aunt Tang San praised all the way.

At this moment, Tang Mei completely lost her previous sad mood after being praised by Aunt Tang San.
