Feng Zhiheng held Xiao Fuyuan's hand and couldn't wait to go to the village.
Xiao Fuyuan was just about to take Feng Zhiheng out. When he saw the sister-in-law beside his mother, he hesitated several times. He instantly understood that the sister-in-law wanted to learn about Erlang from Feng Zhiheng.
So he smiled and said to Feng Zhiheng: "My sister-in-law has a baby in her belly. She made many little shoes and clothes for the baby. They are so cute. Do you want to go and take a look."
Feng Zhiheng was also smart. When he heard this, he suddenly thought of the letter Erlang sent to his parents before her arrival.
Alas, because I was too free when I came to Shenshu Village, I forgot such an important thing.
"What my sister said reminds me that I have a letter from Erlang to you." Feng Zhiheng said to Xie Chuntao.
Xie Chuntao felt very relieved when she heard that her son had written a letter to her. Then she thought that both she and Da Zhuang were illiterate and would have to trouble her sister-in-law to read the letter to her.
But at this time, Feng Zhiheng wanted to go out to play with his sister-in-law, and she was too embarrassed to rush her, so she could only wait until evening.
It’s hard to think about.
"Xiao Yuanbao, I want to go to my sister-in-law's house to see the baby's clothes and shoes. If it's good, I can ask for two pieces for my brother." Feng Zhiheng said to Xiao Fuyuan with a smile.
"Then you have to ask my sister-in-law if you want it. My sister-in-law did it." Xiao Fuyuan said to Feng Zhiheng.
"Take whatever you like." Xie Chuntao was very grateful for Feng Zhiheng's thoughtfulness and offered to go to her room to read her a letter.
"Chuntao, please take your sister-in-law and A Heng to your room." Madam Zhen waved to Xie Chuntao. She knew that her daughter-in-law wanted to know the news about Erlang and could not sit still for a moment.
Xie Chuntao agreed, stroking her belly and taking Xiao Fuyuan and Feng Zhiheng to the room.
"Erlang doesn't know yet that he is going to have a younger brother." Feng Zhiheng came to Xie Chuntao's room and saw a small pink shoe on the bed, picked it up and said.
"How did you know he was your younger brother?" Xie Chuntao couldn't help but ask.
"Don't they all say that the Bai family will have sons throughout their lives?" Feng Zhiheng was very surprised. Didn't Xie Chuntao not understand? Why did you ask her this question instead?
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Xie Chuntao felt heartbroken for a while.
Although she guessed that she was carrying a son in her belly, Xie Chuntao still had the dream of a girl. All the clothes and shoes she made were in a girl's style.
Even if she gives birth to a son, she hopes that he will be a gentle and considerate son.
Like a sister-in-law.
"By the way, the letter is here."
Feng Zhiheng took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xie Chuntao's eyes lit up when she saw the letter.
Xiao Fuyuan opened the letter and saw that Erlang's handwriting was getting better and better.
"Read it quickly, what are you writing about?" Xie Chuntao's face was full of excitement.
"It's like meeting our parents... we haven't been home for a long time... our children are far away from home..."
Feng Zhiheng wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this letter. Why did Erlang drop his book bag like his fourth uncle? Can his parents understand what this letter is written?
Sure enough, Xie Chuntao murmured to himself: "Erlang has become promising, and his letters are so good... But, sister-in-law, tell me what he means by this?"
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
She planned to ask Feng Zhiheng to send a message to Erlang. It was best to write in plain English rather than being literate when writing home.
"Erlang means that he misses his eldest brother and sister-in-law very much. He asked how his health is. He has learned well at Zhou's house. He has improved in knowledge. He has grown taller and gained weight. In addition to Liu Shu, he has also made other good friends. I hope Brother and sister-in-law, don’t miss him..."
Xiao Fuyuan translated it into vernacular for my sister-in-law.
Xie Chuntao looked at Feng Zhiheng with tears in her eyes.
Feng Zhiheng said with a smile: "Erlang is telling the truth. No one dares to bully him in the Zhou family's homeschool. I heard from his uncle that he is very serious in studying. By the way, last time I went to the homeschool to find him, Liu Shu told me that Erlang I lit candles and read books until very late at night, working very hard..."
Feng Zhiheng stopped here.
Erlang had repeatedly told him not to tell his parents about staying up late reading, but she almost forgot about it.
After hearing this, Xie Chuntao said with a distressed look on his face: "What about staying up late and reading? His bones are weak since he was young. What if his body is damaged by the stress?"
Xiao Fuyuan knew that Erlang's body was not weak at all. Thanks to the red pills that he had been given to Erlang before, Erlang was now strong in his bones.
Sister-in-law doesn’t know.
But even if my sister-in-law finds out, she will still feel distressed. This is the nature of a mother.
Just like my mother, she often tells her fourth brother not to stay up late reading, but to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. She even drives her fourth brother out to play with her at home.
"Erlang didn't stay up late at all, just those few times, I told him later." Feng Zhiheng said.
Not only did she talk to Erlang, but she also asked the kitchenette to deliver a bowl of ginseng chicken soup to Erlang every night.
"My aunt takes great care of Erlang and sends him a bowl of ginseng chicken soup every night."
Feng Zhiheng couldn't hold it back and told Xie Chuntao about Erlang's bowl of ginseng chicken soup every night. She did this to prevent Erlang's mother from worrying, after all, she was pregnant with a baby.
But as she spoke, she turned the person who brought Erlang chicken soup into her aunt.
"Thank you, aunt, and thank you for taking care of my Erlang in the Zhou family." Xie Chuntao was very moved.
Being able to study in the Zhou family is already a sign of great virtue, and he can also receive extra care from the Zhou family. Xie Chuntao is extremely grateful.
"So sister-in-law, don't worry about Erlang. Listen to the letter Erlang wrote to you and your eldest brother. He is sensible. Knowing that you are worried about him, he will definitely not do anything that worries you." Xiao Fuyuan comforted her sister-in-law.
"Sister is right." Xie Chuntao rubbed her sister-in-law's head gratefully.
"Sister Ah Heng, please tell my sister-in-law more about Erlang, in more detail, and tell my sister-in-law everything you know, okay?"
Xiao Fuyuan knew that her sister-in-law wanted to know more about Erlang, but she was too embarrassed to speak up and trouble Feng Zhiheng, so she had no choice but to come forward.
Xie Chuntao heard her sister-in-law say this and cast a grateful glance.
"That doesn't work. I'll tell you everything about Erlang."
Somehow, when it came to Erlang, Feng Zhiheng had no idea of going out to play.
She sat in Xie Chuntao's room and told Xie Chuntao everything she knew about Erlang.
Xie Chuntao listened with a smile on her face for a while, and frowned for a while.
"...When Erlang passes the Tongsheng examination, he can also go to Huaishui Academy to study." Feng Zhiheng said to Xie Chuntao.
Xie Chuntao clasped her hands together. She was relieved that her second son could enter Huaishui Academy.
"Studying is too hard." Xie Chuntao still felt heartbroken when she thought about Erlang's letter mentioning that he would not be able to go home until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Erlang. You take good care of your baby. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here soon."
Xie Chuntao nodded.
The sister-in-law was right, she wanted to take good care of her health and not let Erlang worry.
Xiao Fuyuan and Feng Zhiheng stayed in Xie Chuntao's house until Bai Dazhuang came back in the evening.
As soon as Bai Dazhuang returned home, he was called to the room by Madam Zhen and asked to go to Huaicheng overnight to tell Liu Hong that Cuicui had come to the house.
Anyway, the Bai family now has a carriage, which means it can be reached in the middle of the night.
"Do you want to send a message to the Ning family?" Bai Dazhuang went to ask for Mrs. Bai's opinion.
"Need not."
Old Mrs. Bai was angry with the Ning family, especially Cuicui's father. How could she not show up when the Luo family came to visit and let her daughter fight against the old godly woman.
