"Eldest sister, the second aunt asked you and the second sister to go in and talk." Lin Xiangrong ran out with a bowl and tugged on Dani's clothes while she was mopping the floor. Without waiting for her to ask, she ran to the kitchen to deliver the bowl.
Dani stared at her little sister's round little face and shook her head feebly. She went out and called Erni before entering the back room. She sat on the edge of the kang with her head lowered and said nothing. She felt Zhang Miao's eyes lingering on her body. She clutched the corners of her clothes. Not a single sound came out.
After a while, Er Ni opened the door curtain and came in, sitting with Dani. The two sisters lowered their heads and didn't say a word. They also had a weak temperament, making people look like they were easy to bully.
But in fact, Zhang Miao knew that these two daughters had a stubbornness in their hearts.
She sighed and didn't know what to say, so she only let two people go out.
Dani and Erni breathed a sigh of relief and ran out one after the other.
Seeing the two of them hiding from her like a savage beast, Zhang Miao laughed angrily. She clutched her painful stomach and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She suddenly thought of the day when there was a flood, and she did not allow her husband Yuan Xi to save their two daughters. Later, when they were brought back by the third child, they looked up at her and Yuan Xi.
Now that I think about it, are their eyes disappointed or sad?
Zhang Miao didn't know, but the loss of her mother and son one after another made her extremely panicked and eager to catch the child who was related to her by blood.
"Coming out so soon?"
Lin Xiangrong was chewing an apple. When she saw the two sisters running out impatiently, she asked in surprise: "Didn't you say anything?"
How long is this? A minute at most. What can I say?
Dani touched her sister's face, laughing at her for being chubby, and replied: "It came out without saying anything."
Heart knots and estrangements are not easily eliminated. Even if Zhang Miao intends to ease the relationship, she and Er Ni have grown up after all, and neither of them are fools.
I have been ignored since I was little, and I will be beaten and scolded whenever I have trouble. Who can stand this?
It's just like this, forget it.
When he abandoned the two of them in the house that day and left them waiting to be drowned, he never thought that they would survive. Would he be disappointed?
This matter won't go away that easily.
"Then eat an apple." Lin Xiangrong stuffed an apple for her: "This big apple is very sweet."
I bought these apples in the town that day. The apples at this time are big and sweet, and the price is not expensive. I bought a big bag for one dollar, and the whole family can eat them all in one day.
She was dumbfounded at the time, and bought a bagful of it again the next day to eat.
"You can keep this, we won't eat it." Dani doesn't like eating apples very much, but she rarely eats fruit. Although she wanted to cut it in half and share one with Erni, she thought that this apple was her little sister's. After working hard to raise rabbits for a year, I was reluctant to eat the ones I bought after selling them.
"It's okay. I bought it just for food. This is enough for me."
Lin Xiangrong saw through Dani's thoughts at a glance, waved her hand to refuse and ran to the front room, sitting next to Zhou Zhaodi who was knitting a sweater and shaking her legs.
The snow was so heavy that it continued until January.
Lin Lili, who was picked up from the town, stared at the thick layer of snow in the yard and sighed: "The snow is so heavy, this winter will be difficult. I heard that the crop harvest is not good. Do we have enough food?"
Wang Cuilan, who was overjoyed that her daughter had returned home, said repeatedly: "Enough to eat, enough to eat. The family has prepared a lot of money to buy food. In the past two years, the village has been frugal and saved some dried sweet potatoes, which is enough to eat until the end of the year." It’s time to plant in the spring, so you don’t have to worry about this.”
She handed the prepared swaddling clothes to Lin Lili and said, "This swaddling clothes are made from Xiangrong's original swaddling clothes. It is made of cotton cloth brought back by your brother Lin Yuanbei. The material is very soft. Xiangrong will wash it after he grows up." Used it.”
Those swaddling clothes were the same swaddling clothes that Lin Xiangrong used when she was a child.
The fabric was soft and thick, and there was a layer of cotton inside. It felt very good to the touch in her hands. Lin Lili didn't mind that her niece had used the swaddling clothes. She looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "Mom, have you invited the midwife?"
She hesitated for a while: "Why don't you go to the hospital to give birth? At least you have some protection. What if something happens to you when you give birth at home?"
After all, the medical conditions in the village are not as good as those in the town. At least if something happens in the town, there are doctors who can provide timely rescue. The conditions in the village are not that good.
Wang Cuilan originally disagreed. It was a waste of money and trouble to go to the hospital. Just hire a midwife in the village. It was convenient and not expensive. The main reason was that she was not so squeamish. Who didn't give birth like this?
But thinking of Zhang Miao's situation, she hesitated for a while: "Let me think about it, don't be anxious yet, you still have two months to give birth to the baby, so there is no rush."
After saying that, Wang Cuilan got up, went out to find Lin Dawei, and talked to the head of the family: "You said that the second daughter-in-law will not be able to have children from now on. She must have hurt her body. What if our daughter does the same thing in the future?"
She was a little uneasy. Although Lin Lili was a girl, she was a piece of flesh that fell from her body and she was her only daughter. How could Wang Cuilan not feel pain?
Lin Dawei rolled a leaf cigarette and said: "Let the midwife check if the fetal position is correct first. If not, go to the hospital to give birth. Our family doesn't need the money. We can just come back after giving birth."
After all, with Zhang Miao's experience, they couldn't stop thinking about this.
"Sure, let's ask the midwife to take a look first. If it doesn't work, send her to the hospital. If she doesn't need the money, then send the second daughter-in-law to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any sequelae."
Wang Cuilan made a decision, and because Zhang Miao was born prematurely and injured her body, she had to confine herself for a month. She cooked two bowls of brown sugar water and eggs, and gave one bowl to Zhang Miao and one bowl to her daughter.
When she came out, she met Lin Xiangrong. Wang Cuilan immediately picked up her granddaughter with a smile on her face and said, "Hey, my dear, why didn't you go to the backyard to play with your little brother?"
Lin Xiangrong shook her head and hugged Wang Cuilan's neck: "I want to stay with you for a while."
[I don’t know when the Chinese New Year will be celebrated this year. Before the Chinese New Year, my house collapsed. I don’t know which room it was. 】
[We have to find a way to get Nai to check the house at home. If the house in the backyard collapses, the family will have no place to live. 】
She blinked her big round eyes: "Mistress, I heard that too much snow will collapse the house. Will our house collapse?"
Hearing her good granddaughter's inquiry and heartbeat, Wang Cuilan knew that her little granddaughter must have come to help the family again. She quickly said: "This is definitely not possible. I will ask your uncle and second uncle to check the house. Don't worry. I will definitely not let my dear grandson have no place to live.”
With that said, Wang Cuilan hugged her little granddaughter and quickly went to Yuandong and Yuanxi to check that the house at home had really collapsed.
The two of them didn't want to go at first, but when they saw the anxious look on their little niece's face, they knew it must be her who urged them, so they immediately started moving, not daring to waste any time. (End of chapter)
