The God of War Duke from a matriarchal country was reborn in the 1950s. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard that her fiancé had been snatched away!
This was absolutely intolerable. Wit...
Xiaoman looked down at her lazy daughter. She sat beside her daughter because her legs were safe and secure to hug.
The older sister had planned to sneak a nap while her mother was talking to someone, clinging to her mother's leg; she had even gotten into position. But then… “Auntie, you hit my table and it hurts!”
Aunt Du choked for a moment: "Child, come here, Auntie will stand up for you."
"No, I want to be next to my mother." The older sister looked up at Xiaoman and said, "Mother, this old lady is strange. She got angry after I said a few words to her."
What did you say to her?
The older sister thought for a moment and said, "She asked me if I was the one who made me turn the soil. I said yes. She wanted to take me home, but I said I hadn't finished the work and couldn't go home."
Sister Du looked at Xiaoman and said, "How could you let such a young child turn over the soil? And she can't come back until she finishes? Also, how could you let the child sit on the ground?"
Xiaoman rubbed her forehead: "Sister Du, my daughter is very strong. Turning over the soil is like child's play for her."
Sister: "Mmm."
Xiaoman continued, "My daughter didn't sit on the ground; she sat on a rock."
Sister: "Mmm."
Sister Du felt that Xiaoman was making excuses: "Why is that child saying he wants to go home while he's working?"
Xiaoman thought to herself: Her lazy daughter wished she could stay at home all day: "Sister Du, my children all do chores."
Sister: "Mmm."
Sister Du looked at Xiaoman and then at her sister: "Wang Xiaoman, how could you let your child lie for you? I clearly saw your three sons playing until dinnertime before coming back, while your daughter was tilling the land in the fields, and she was too scared to come back until she finished. Yet you say that all your children are working?"
Sister Du looked at her older sister and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. My house is right next to yours. If your mother hits you, just go and tell me. I'll stand up for you."
Sister: "My mother doesn't hit me." Then, in her heart, she thought: My mother just wants to throw Meimei away. Ever since I had Meimei, my mother has put away the whip. "Auntie, it's getting dark, you should go home."
Sister Du was speechless again by her sister's words: "Wang Xiaoman, look how good your daughter is, always protecting you. How could you let the child till the land?"
Xiaoman rubbed her forehead: "Girl, take your Aunt Du to the kitchen." Since she doesn't believe it, let's see for ourselves.
The older sister didn't want to get up and wanted to call her younger brother to take Aunt Du to the kitchen. But... she was sitting at her mother's feet, and if she dared to call her brother, her mother would definitely kick her out. "Alright."
The older sister helped Xiaoman up from Meimei's body, saying, "Aunt Du, come with me."
Aunt Du: "Wang Xiaoman, why do you want me to go to the kitchen?"
The older sister pulled Aunt Du along, saying, "My mother wants you to go check out the kitchen. Come on, come on." After you've checked, she can come back and sit down.
Upon reaching the kitchen door, the older sister called out first, "Grandpa Guo."
Old Guo's voice came from the kitchen: "Hungry? Come in and grab a snack if you're hungry."
"No. My mother asked me to take this old lady to the kitchen. Grandpa Guo, may I take her in?"
Old Guo frowned. However, since Xiaoman had sent him, there must be a reason. "Come in. Don't wander around."
"Okay." The older sister pulled Sister Du inside. Sister Du was stunned as soon as she entered. Wang Xiaoman's sons were all working in the kitchen. And they were doing it quite well. The two older ones were stir-frying vegetables, the third and fourth were chopping vegetables, and the youngest was washing vegetables. Lü Hui was peeling scallions.
The older sister wanted to go back and sit down as soon as possible: "Auntie, have you finished watching? Let's go when you're done."
Sister Du looked at Nao Nao and the others again: "They...they can cook?"
"Okay. Auntie, let's go."
"Ah? Oh... okay."
The older sister pulled Sister Du out of the kitchen. They had only gone a few steps when Han Bin returned.
The older sister abandoned Sister Du and ran towards Han Bin, calling out, "Dad!"
Han Bin picked up his older sister and asked, "Daughter, did you miss your dad?"
Sister: "Yes, Dad. Do you miss your daughter?"
Han Bin: "I've thought about it."
Sister: "Dad, I turned over a huge, huge, huge piece of land this afternoon."
Han Bin: "My daughter is really amazing."
Sister: "Mmm."
Sister Du was shocked that Han Bin knew her husband had asked their daughter to till the land but didn't care: "Deputy Division Commander Han, how can you let such a young child till the land?"
"My daughter is very strong." Han Bin recognized Sister Du: "Sister Du, come in and sit down."
"All right."
After going inside, Sister Du looked at Xiaoman and said, "Have your son cook for you, and then you can wait here to eat?"
Xiaoman: "They are learning to cook."
Sister Du looked at Han Bin and then at Xiao Man: "You made your daughter learn to farm and your son learn to cook? What... what were you thinking?"
Sister: "Auntie, I also need to learn to cook, and my brothers and my younger brother also need to learn to farm."
Han Bin looked at Sister Du and then at his sister: "Sister Du, you don't think that my husband and I don't like our daughter, do you? Sister Du, we only have one daughter."
Sister: "My mom and I are both treasures in our family. My mom is the big treasure, and I am the little treasure."
Aunt Du: "Did I misunderstand?"
Sister: "Mmm."
Han Bin: "You're doing this for my daughter's own good."
Xiaoman: "In my eyes, boys and girls are the same."
Sister Du was quite embarrassed: "Little sister, I misunderstood you. I apologize."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's nothing. You used to dare to go to the battlefield, and now you actively protect women's rights. I respect you very much."
"These are all things I should do. Well, since it's a misunderstanding, then you can go back now."
Han Bin: "Sister Du, why don't you have dinner at my house today?"
Xiaoman: "My son is quite good at cooking."
Han Bin: "Yes, try my son's cooking."
Sister Du was also a little curious, but... "Then I'll go home and get some food."
Han Bin was taken aback: Why do we need to go home to get more food?
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Huihui plans to eat at my house every day."
Sister Du: Oh, is that so? I thought he was only having dinner at your house tonight.
Han Bin understood: "Sister Du, I'll go and call Commander Miao over as well."
Sister Du: "Okay."
Sister: "Dad, I'll go with you."
Han Bin: "Okay."
Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin, who hesitated for a moment before putting his sister down on the ground: "Come on, Dad will hold your hand."
The older sister immediately regretted it: "Dad, I'd better stay home with Mom."
"All right."
After Han Bin left, the older sister sat down next to Xiaoman's feet. After sitting down, she hugged Xiaoman's legs. Xiaoman didn't say anything because she had been going to Lai Di with Lao Guo every day for the past few days.
Sister Du still seemed a little uncomfortable. However, seeing that her sister was sitting happily, she didn't say anything.
After chatting with Sister Du for a while, Han Bin led Commander Miao in. As soon as Sister Du saw Commander Miao, she stood up and said, "Hello, Uncle."
"Hello."
Xiaoman also greeted Commander Miao.
Soon, Lao Guo and Nao Nao finished cooking.
After everyone sat down, Han Bin gave a further introduction.
Sister Du took a bite and her eyes widened in surprise: "Xiaoman, your son's cooking is really good."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Uncle Guo made it for them."
"That's impressive too." Sister Du looked at Lü Hui. "No wonder Huihui comes to your house for dinner every day."
Meanwhile, Zhao Jun's mother had just returned from outside when Zhao Jun asked her, "Mom, Lü Hui went to Nao Nao's house for dinner. Lü Hui said the food at Nao Nao's house is really delicious. Mom, can I go to Nao Nao's house for dinner?"
