Mrs. Sun originally planned to take advantage of the good weather these days to quickly bundle the cotton stalks piled in the yard and load them into the woodshed in the backyard.
The cotton stalks were piled up in the yard, taking up space in the yard, and would be soaked when it rained.
It happened that her daughter and son-in-law came over together, saying that they had nothing to do in the morning and came to tie the firewood targets. Mrs. Sun quickly packed up and joined the team of tying the firewood targets with Yang Huazhong.
Xiaohua handed Feng'er to Xiaoduo and asked her to take her to play, then she went back to the house and changed her clothes.
The warm winter sun shines on the body, making everyone feel lazy, and there is not much wind in the yard. Everyone is tying firewood while doing household chores in the north and south.
As the saying goes, if men and women are matched, the work will not be tiring.
In this blink of an eye, more than half of the cotton poles were tied up, and Luo Fengtang and Yang Huazhong got up and delivered them to the woodshed in the backyard.
Mrs. Sun glanced at the sun above her head and said, "After one more stick of incense, I will go and cook lunch. At noon, don't leave either you or Tang Yazi. Stay and eat together."
Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "Okay, we originally planned to stay for lunch at noon. After eating, we will finish the work in one go in the afternoon. Even if it rains heavily tomorrow, we are not afraid!"
After a while, Mrs. Liu ran over in a hurry.
As soon as the person entered the yard, a voice came over: "Oh, it's so lively here today. You are all here, Qing'er. Where is the firewood target?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her head and smiled at Ms. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, you're just in time, come over and bundle the firewood targets together!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and stretched out her hands and said, "This is really unfortunate. I don't know what's going on with my hands these days. They're so cracked..."
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Liu's hand, and it was indeed split.
"Fourth brother and sister, Qing'er was just joking with you. You came here in such a hurry, but what's the matter?" asked Sun with a smile.
At the same time, he stood up and wanted to hand the ponytail he was sitting on to Mrs. Liu to sit on.
Mrs. Sun has always been so warm and hospitable. No matter who comes to her home, no matter how many times that person comes over a day, Ms. Sun will give her a warm greeting every time.
She would invite people to sit down and serve them tea. Even if the rice pot in the backyard kitchen was still simmering with rice and it was almost mushy, she would not drive away the visitors.
She has had this kind of personality all her life, so she is known as a good person in the village. Even the most cunning and shrewd woman in the village can't say anything bad about her when talking about Mrs. Sun.
So at this moment, when they saw Mrs. Sun handing her little horse tie to Mrs. Liu again, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua looked at each other, and both sisters smiled tacitly.
For the first time, Mrs. Liu did not pick up Mrs. Sun's pony, "Third sister-in-law, sit down. You want to work and sit comfortably. If I don't work, I can just squat anywhere."
Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua exchanged glances again. This fourth aunt still had a little bit of self-awareness.
Mrs. Sun sat down and continued to bundle the firewood targets. Mrs. Liu put a bundle of firewood targets under her butt and buttocks, and started talking.
"Third sister-in-law, Li Xiuxin went back to her parents' home last evening!" Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and said.
Mrs. Sun smiled, her hands moving unabated, and said, "Her parents' home is close by, in Lijia Village. It's convenient to go back."
Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "Oh, my third sister-in-law, why can't you understand my voice?"
"Then Li Xiuxin had a quarrel with Yongxian and ran back to her parents' house in anger."
At this time, the movement of Sun's hand paused.
"What? We had another quarrel? Then she went back to her parents' home and Feng'er took her away too? The child has just recovered from her illness, and it hasn't been two days since she came back from the hospital!" Ms. Sun said, with worry in her tone.
Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua also listened with their ears pricked up, and their eyes were also surprised.
Just listen to Mrs. Liu continue: "She wanted to take Feng'er away, but Yongxian wouldn't let her go, so she ran back to her parents' house in anger."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun was even more surprised.
"How can this be done? Feng'er is only more than three months old, and it's the time to breastfeed. If the mother ran away in anger, wouldn't the child starve?"
"Fourth brother and sister, you are well-informed. Please tell me what's going on with this good thing? Why is it causing trouble again?" Ms. Sun asked.
Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua also paused their movements, and several pairs of eyes looked at Liu.
What Liu liked most was the feeling of being watched and questioned, so much so that she straightened up a bit while sitting on the target.
"Hey, when it comes to this, Qing'er's milk is of course indispensable." Mrs. Liu said.
"Yesterday, after they came back from the town hospital, Qing'er Nai called Yongxian, Mei Ying, and Li Xiuxin to the backyard."
"Qing'er scolded Li Xiuxin severely, and finally gave an order. Xiu'er will not be raised by Li Xiuxin for the time being, and Mei Ying will be raised by her side."
"Li Xiuxin can only visit the child when she is breastfeeding every day. She is not allowed to touch the child at other times, so as not to make the child sick again," Mrs. Liu said.
"Ah?" Mrs. Sun looked stunned.
"Did Qing'er really arrange it like this? This... this is not good. Xiu'er was born by Li Xiuxin. Although she treated the child's illness, I believe that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. She must have been hoping for it in her heart. The child is healthy!"
Xiaohua is now a mother, and she also feels this. She quickly followed Sun's words and said: "Yes, which mother in the world is willing to be separated from her child? We live in the same house facing each other, but apart from breastfeeding every day, there is no other time. You are not allowed to touch them, and your children cannot sleep in the same room as you at night. No matter how you think about it, you can’t feel at ease!”
If she hadn't been unable to let go of Feng'er, she would have gone to the capital to accompany Da'an.
There are two men, one big and one small, that she can't let go of, but if she really has to choose one of them, she can only stay with the younger one.
Because he is more fragile, doesn't understand anything, and needs more companionship and care.
"Fourth Aunt, go on, my grandma gave such an order, how did the cousin and Li Xiuxin deal with it?" Xiaohua asked.
Ms. Liu glanced at Xiaohua and said, "What else can your cousin do? This man always cares about children, not the feelings of the woman who gave birth to him."
"Of course your cousin never farts, and Mei Ying doesn't dare to say anything. Li Xiuxin is going crazy, crying and acting up, but the more she behaves like this, the more disgusted she is to your grandparents."
"Your mother told me that if the trouble continues, I'll call it quits or find someone to come over and sell it!"
"Then Li Xiuxin was dragged back to the house by Yongxian. He didn't dare to let her make noise in the backyard with your grandparents. After returning to the front room, Mei Ying came over to hug Xiu'er and received a slap from Li Xiuxin."
"Yongxian's anger was also aroused, and he slapped Li Xiuxin back on the spot. Li Xiuxin was so embarrassed that she didn't want the child or the clothes. She turned around and ran back to Lijiacun. She didn't come back all night. , when I came over earlier, I took a look at the front yard."
"Yongxian and Meiying are feeding Feng'er noodle soup together, but Li Xiuxin still hasn't come back."
"I asked Yongxian, are you going to keep feeding Feng'er noodle soup and not pick up Li Xiuxin?"
"Guess, what did Yongxian say?" At this point, Mr. Liu deliberately let it slip.
