"Erwa, Dad's gone..."

Erwa also raised his glowing green eyes, "Uncle Dad..."

Yin Lan frowned. What a strange title! Not wanting to cause any more trouble, she waved her hand and said, "Are you leaving or not? If not, stay and eat."

"I'm not leaving." Chen Yourun walked over briskly and squatted down in a gap in the circle. There was no other way; the tables and chairs weren't ready yet, and he felt very embarrassed, so he had to make everyone squat down to eat.

Yin Lan: "..."

The way he walked just now, his posture and movements, didn't show any sign of a leg injury. Was he really injured? Or could she have been tricked?

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.

The braised pork offal is simply amazing, and Yin Lan learned this method from a chef in her previous life, so how could it not be delicious?

The eldest son, the second son, Tian Youwei, and the children, Da Dong and Xiao Xi, ate with their mouths covered in oil.

At first, Da Dong and Xiao Xi were a little reserved and embarrassed to eat too much, but Yin Lan prepared a lot of food, and the more they ate, the more delicious it became, so they completely forgot about being reserved.

They had the most sumptuous meal they had eaten in the past five or six years, with not only incredibly delicious meat but also plenty of white rice!

They could work their whole lives and still not repay Aunt Yin's kindness.

After about half an hour, everything in the bowls was gone, even the bottom layer of broth was used to soak rice. Every bowl that had been used was spotless, except for Yin Lan and Chen Yourun.

On this point, the two of them were quite in sync.

Zhao Dashan looked at it again and again. Good heavens, well, it turns out Chen Yourun is also a spendthrift. Look at that bowl, there's still a layer of oil in it!

"Big brother, go wash the dishes."

"Second child, go feed the third child."

Now that Sanwa can walk on his own, when we feed him, we let him sit opposite us. The little guy is very obedient, laughing heartily with his adorable little face. His two dimples are so endearing. His eyes are like black grapes, dark and bright. His face is fair and smooth, and now he has a little bit of chubby flesh, making you want to pinch it.

He didn't move around much. When Erwa brought him the spoon, he obediently opened his mouth. When he wasn't being fed, he would flutter his hands incessantly, as if urging his second brother to hurry up and feed him.

Feeding Erwa was no problem at all; the little guy ate the steamed egg custard and thick rice porridge with great joy.

Although the child is small, he/she is very useful and can definitely help with housework.

After finishing his meal, Da Dong didn't leave. He immediately went out to help continue making mud bricks.

Xiao Xi insisted on helping Da Wa wash the dishes.

Da Wa would definitely disagree; how could a man like him let a girl do the work?

Yin Lan felt that her son was quite good in this regard.

Zhao Dashan also went out to work.

Yin Lan watched Chen Yourun's departing figure, and after holding back for a moment, she couldn't help but say, "Stop right there."

As Chen Yourun turned his head, she didn't look at him, but simply said, "Go inside and sit down."

He added, "If you want to stay and eat, go inside and sit down."

Seeing his wife's somewhat uncomfortable expression, Chen Yourun gently curled the corners of his lips, "I'm really fine..."

"If it's nothing, then you can leave now." Yin Lan was too lazy to argue with him.

Chen Yourun didn't hesitate for a second and obediently went inside.

There were no chairs or anything inside, so he didn't sit on the edge of the bed; he just stood.

Outside, Yin Lan looked at the somewhat uneasy Xiao Xi and spoke.

"Xiao Xi, come here."

The little girl immediately ran over, and Yin Lan took out the old clothes that Da Wa had just changed out of. Those were her and Chen Yourun's old clothes, which were too big for Da Wa, and naturally even bigger for Xiao Xi.

It's fine for the older child to wear whatever he wants, since we made him some new clothes. As for the younger one...

Fortunately, Yin Lan had taught herself tailoring before, but without a sewing machine, it was still troublesome to make changes.

She simply cut off the excessively long part with a knife and sewed the bottom up a little, leaving the garment with some length. The little girl was still growing, and given their circumstances, they might not be able to afford clothes in the future.

Xiao Xi was both puzzled and distressed by Yin Lan's actions. What was she doing? Her clothes were perfectly fine, how could they be...?

It wasn't until Yin Lan held up the finished clothes in front of her that she realized, "Hmm, almost there."

Xiaoxi had a guess in her mind, but she immediately dismissed it, thinking it was impossible.

Yin Lan's next words were, "Come and try it on to see if it fits."

"Aunt Yin... Aunt Yin." Xiao Xi couldn't even speak properly. The clothes she was wearing were patched together from her childhood clothes. They were all patched and had holes. They were very thin, and in winter, it was almost the same as not wearing anything at all. She had many frostbite injuries. The two children were in a similar situation to the eldest and second children before Yin Lan came. Although the eldest and second children were in a bad situation, at least they had a mother who would give them something to eat. Da Dong and Xiao Xi really had nothing.

"This is what the eldest child doesn't wear anymore. You don't like it?" Yin Lan asked, bending down to look at Xiao Xi who wasn't moving.

The little girl's eyes were already red, and she shook her head desperately.

"Then let's go change it."

The clothes are outer garments; you can just put them on over your clothes.

After Xiaoxi put it on, she stiffened up. It was so warm; she had never felt so warm before.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Mom, these are my clothes!" The eldest child, who was washing dishes, suddenly spoke up when he saw them.

Yin Lan turned her head to look, "Didn't your clothes come from your mother?"

The older child, feeling wronged, replied, "Yes."

"Don't you want to give it to Xiaoxi?" Yin Lan felt that she still had to respect the child and ask for his opinion; she couldn't be too authoritarian.

The big boy thought about it carefully, then looked at Xiao Xi, who looked timid, uneasy, thin and pitiful.

"Aunt Yin, I don't want it anymore..."

Before she could finish speaking, Da Wa waved his hand and said, "Take it, I'm giving it to you."

Although he was really reluctant to part with him, Xiao Xi was even more pitiful than he had been. He knew how unbearable and miserable it was to not have enough to eat or wear. Now he had a mother and new clothes, and he hoped that other children could have a better life!

That makes sense.

"Your older brother gave this to you, so don't worry about wearing it."

Xiao Xi started sobbing, but tried her best not to cry. "Thank you, Brother Da Wa."

The older child proudly raised his little neck and chest.

Before Yin Lan could give any instructions, he ran inside, retrieved the frostbite ointment he had used, and handed it to Xiao Xi, saying, "Apply it!"

Xiao Xi glanced at Yin Lan, who was nodding and smiling at her, before silently accepting the gift.

"After applying it, the pain and itching will go away," the older child explained enthusiastically.

Xiao Xi kept wiping away her tears silently. Aunt Yin was so good to her, so incredibly good.

No one had ever treated her this well in her entire life.

They fed them such delicious food, gave her clothes, and gave her ointment.

"Waaaaah..." Xiao Xi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

This terrified the eldest child. He desperately tried to explain to Yin Lan, "Mother... I didn't bully her, I... I... I wanted to help her... I didn't bully her..."
