Cao Bamei's eye circles suddenly turned red. She put down the tablecloth, sat down, covered her face with her hands, and shrugged her shoulders slightly. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to cry. Lan
She ignored that she was also a child, and she also wanted to act coquettishly in her mother's arms, and she also wanted to be the focus of her parents' eyes, and she also wanted to be the focus of their discussions after dinner.
"I'm not a good mother. I've always felt that the second child is very sensible and can help me share the burden of the family. The eldest brother is not sensible even if he gets married. I have to worry more. I have been neglecting the second child." Cao Bamei murmured softly.
Yang Yongjin's mood was similar to that of Cao Bamei at the moment. They had the same children and naturally had the same feelings.
He sighed and came to the table and patted Cao Bamei on the shoulder: "It's still too late to hurt her now. Don't wait until she gets married too and then regret it."
"I'll clean the table and sweep the floor, you go to the kitchen!" he added.
Cao Bamei thought so and quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
In the dimly lit kitchen, the second daughter was embroidering red as usual. She put the bowls and chopsticks into the pot, scooped out two ladles of water, took off the apron hanging on the wooden stake on the wall next to her and put it on her slender waist. Tie it up, sleeves rolled up to the elbows, revealing a smooth white arm, ready to wash pots and dishes! Lan
"Hong'er, leave it alone, mother will wash it!" After Cao Bamei came in, she came over and pulled off the apron embroidered in red around her waist.
This time, Xiuhong was even more shocked. Previously, her father had to help her carry the dishes, but now it was her mother who wanted to help her wash the dishes.
"Mom, you guys... what's going on?" she asked blurtly.
Cao Bamei was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nothing, what's the matter?"
Xiuhong said: "I usually wash the pots and dishes well, why don't you want me to wash them now?"
Could it be that my mother doesn’t want me anymore and wants to tell her husband’s family to send me out as soon as possible?
Thinking of this, Xiu Hong's brows wrinkled together slightly. Lan
She usually takes her younger brother to play in the village and chats with the little sisters of the same age. They all say that her father and mother at home usually ignore her. If one day she gets better for no reason, then she must be ready to go out. , so I am about to become a guest, so I am being polite.
Seeing Xiu Hong's expression, Cao Bamei guessed that the child might have gone astray, so she rubbed her face affectionately.
"You silly girl, don't you know what's going on with you these days? As a girl, it's best not to touch cold water these days."
After Cao Bamei's reminder, Xiuhong reacted. She looked down at her belly and blushed with embarrassment.
"It's my fault that my mother has been worrying about all the bad things at your sister's house these past two days and has ignored you." Cao Bamei said, gently rubbing her red-embroidered hands.
"Tell your mother, does your stomach still hurt in the past two days?"
Xiuhong shook her head gently, "It doesn't hurt anymore." Lan
"It's fine if it doesn't hurt. Girls, you need to keep warm these days. I'll make you two palace-warming belts, stuff them with mugwort bags, and put them in a fire barrel to keep you warm before going to bed at night. , you put it against your belly when you sleep, it’s warm and comfortable.”
"Um!"
"Mom, come and wash the dishes, you can go play by yourself and do whatever you want." Cao Bamei added.
Xiuhong said: "Mom, I don't have anything fun to do. I have to go find my brother. I'm afraid he will play in the water."
Cao Bamei said: "It's up to you, you can do whatever you want. However, remember to take your brother to the fifth room before lunch. Today, your sister-in-law's cousin is making full moon wine, and my mother has to finish clearing the dishes." Go over and help, your father has to go over too..."
"Well, okay, then I will first find out what my brother is doing, and then I will go to Xiaochun and the others to ask for a trick and then come back."
Xiaochun in Xiuhong Mouth is her little sister in the village. They often play together and do needlework together. Lan
"good!"
Under Cao Bamei's loving eyes, Xiuhong happily walked out of the kitchen door and went out to play.
Cao Bamei breathed a sigh of relief. Yong Jin was right. A bowl of water must be balanced, as they are all his own children.
For the couple themselves, there are three different children.
But for children, in their world, there is only one father and one mother...
…
Xiuxiu felt sulky in the room for a while, and wanted to go back to Lijiacun more and more, but she promised Mianmian that she would drink full moon wine today, and she wanted to see her future aunt Liu Jinchuan tomorrow. It was unreasonable to go back suddenly now. Lan
Moreover, if dad knew about it, he would probably be furious.
She is not afraid that her father will be angry, but she is afraid that her father will vent his anger on Li Wei and the Li family, making it impossible for them to stand down.
So after much thought, Xiuxiu decided to endure the discomfort and continue to stay here.
When Cao Bamei finished cleaning up the pots and pans and was about to go to the fifth room to help, she found that Xiuxiu was also coming from the backyard and seemed to be going out.
"Xiuxiu, where are you going?" Cao Bamei instinctively felt nervous, worried that her eldest daughter was going back to Lijia Village.
Xiuxiu said lukewarmly: "I went to talk to my sister-in-law. I stayed in the house and was suffocated to death."
"Okay. Okay." Lan
It turned out that she didn't go back to Lijiacun out of anger. Cao Bamei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, by the way, Xiu Xiu, I made you stewed pear, and also brought you the Sichuan clams and Pipa that your father brought back from the county. They are all good for coughs. Do you want to have a bowl before going?"
"If you don't drink, you'll lose your appetite now!"
Dropping these words coldly, Xiu Xiu went to find Mianmian without looking back.
Wufang is very busy today, but Mianmian is not. Her task is to take care of the children as usual.
So Xiuxiu walked through the busy aunts and came to the backyard to complain to Mianmian.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know if you feel the same way as I do. I feel like married girls like us only feel comfortable in our husband's family. Why don't we feel happy when we go back to our parents' family?" Lan
"Sister-in-law, have you ever felt like this?"
Mianmian was shocked by Xiuxiu's words, and looked at Xiuxiu in disbelief.
"Xiuxiu, are you awake?"
"I woke up and had breakfast. Why do you ask me this, aunt?"
"Since you're awake, why are you talking in your sleep?"
"ah?"
The two aunts and nephews, or two good best friends, looked at me and I looked at you. After looking at each other for a moment, Xiuxiu suddenly understood what Mianmian meant. Lan
The smile on her face faded a little, "Auntie, are you also lecturing me? I had my meal in the morning and I had already been scolded by my father at the dinner table."
"I came to you as a confidant and wanted to vent my bitterness to you!"
Mianmian smiled and shook her head, with disapproval in her eyes.
"Xiuxiu, you are in the midst of blessings and don't know how blessed you are, do you know that?"
"There is nothing more pleasant in this world than your parents' home, or being more comfortable than staying with your parents."
"My second brother must be training you for a reason, right? He can't be training you for no reason!"
"I know that you and Li Wei have a good relationship, but no matter how good they are, you can't say that your mother's family is not good. Don't forget who gave birth to you and raised you! Then they bought you a generous dowry so that you could marry in glory. No worries about food and clothing!" Lan
"It's your biological father and mother!"
