Chapter 381: Throw Away the Disobedient Son
In the twelfth lunar month, the workload increased and work efficiency was low due to weather reasons. Zhao Sheng had no time to go home for lunch every day.
Without Zhao Sheng to keep them in check, the twins became lawless and afraid of no one.
Looking at the few pears left in the basket and calculating the time, I could only give the little ones pear juice once every other day. When there was no pear juice, staying in the same room with the twins was like doomsday.
Lin Yiyi felt her heart palpitate and she felt short of breath because of the twins' loud voices. She felt like she was going to faint.
Earplugs have become her daily necessity.
There weren’t that many fruits at home. In order to make the two little ones shut up, we stewed sweet potato soup every day when there were no pears, which made them a little sweet.
When the pears were almost finished, my cousin's wife, who went to the grocery store every day, finally bought some apples.
The purchase of fruit is limited to about two kilograms.
The twins only need half an apple a day, and two kilograms of apples means five or six apples, which they cannot eat for several days.
Whenever she feeds the twins fruits, Lin Yiyi can only purse her lips as a loving mother, silently thinking that the children will be happy if they eat, and she will like what her son likes...
It turned out that the psychological suggestion didn't work. All the fruits went into the enemy's mouth, and I couldn't get two quiet and well-behaved sons.
He wants to play with everything, touch everything, even the broken pot for warming himself by the fire, and he cries if he doesn't get what he wants.
The daily noise has made Lin Yiyi regard the two little guys as enemies.
If the child continues to make trouble like this every day, Lin Yiyi feels like giving the child away.
With the addition of complementary foods, in late December the twins began to eat eggs, minced meat porridge, and super mini dumplings.
The dumpling wrappers were made by Tian Meiling. They were thin and small. The meat filling was seasoned with some fried and crushed dried shrimps. Each dumpling was also delicate and beautiful.
Lin Yiyi didn't have the heart to do anything to the "enemy". She just dipped some minced meat with chopsticks, pinched the skin and wrinkled it.
When it was time for lunch, the twins ate dumplings and wontons.
However, Youyou and Mozi didn't give much face. They only ate a few dumplings with the skins at the beginning. Later, when they found the delicious fillings inside, they only ate the fillings.
Lin Yiyi would not give in to the two enemies. She would put the uneaten dumpling skins into the porridge when she cooked it at night, and in the end it would end up in the little guy's stomach.
As the twins' mouths became more picky, their faces became fatter, and they ate so much that they became plump and round.
The house became more lively and noisy, and as the New Year approached, Lin Yiyi was almost experiencing a mental breakdown.
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Sheng gave half of the dried seafood he had prepared in advance to his cousin's wife and Aunt Sun as new year gifts.
Taking advantage of the last trip to the mining area before the New Year, Zhao Sheng drove a truck to take Lin Yiyi, the twins, and his cousin's family back to Zhaojiatun.
Faced with the little guy who had a strong desire to explore and take action, Lin Yiyi couldn't keep an eye on him alone.
Fortunately, Ma Dongmei helped. She took two kang tables and surrounded the twins on the inside, and sat with them on the edge of the kang.
It was a rare opportunity to meet Lin Yiyi, so Ma Dongmei took the initiative to talk to her about her learning progress. "I have learned to recognize a lot of characters in the past two months, but my handwriting is not very good."
Lin Yiyi turned her eyes away from the two enemies who were pulling each other's hats. She was very pleased with Ma Dongmei's change. If you can't rely on others for your life, you must muster up the courage and insist on relying on yourself.
"You will be able to write well if you practice more. But did you learn to read from the educated youth?"
Ma Dongmei nodded, then smiled and shook her head, "I felt a little embarrassed when I first approached the educated youth, but I went there again the second time.
Those female educated youths vied with each other to come to my house to teach me how to read. Do you know why? "
"...I don't know, you tell me." Lin Yiyi was slightly surprised. The female educated youth have all become female teachers?
Ma Dongmei smiled and said, "They just wanted to warm themselves by the fire. The educated youth camp had mud huts that were drafty, and they slept on wooden beds made of stones.
It was almost the same inside the house as outside. Everyone was freezing. If they taught me to read for an afternoon, they could sit on the kang and keep warm for the whole afternoon, so they naturally wanted to come. "
Lin Yiyi chuckled, "Then you must seize this period of time and don't miss the opportunity in winter."
Ma Dongmei sighed, "I want to hurry up, but there is no way. Zhao Li is back. He stays at home every day, so it is not convenient for the female educated youth to come to my house to teach me how to read."
"You can ask him. There's no need to go far away." Lin Yiyi helped to give advice.
"Him? He reads books every day. I'd rather learn from the female educated youth." Ma Dongmei didn't want to talk to Zhao Li at all now, and she really had nothing to say.
The relationship between the couple is now becoming strange and unfamiliar.
One has nothing to say, and the other doesn't want to say anything.
"......" Did my sister-in-law really discover something the last time she went to school?
Lin Yiyi looked at her carefully, trying to find some clues from her face. "I'll be at home during the New Year. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
Except for math problems.
Hearing this, Ma Dongmei smiled and nodded hurriedly.
There was no peace when the twins were around. Before they could say a few words, the two little guys started fighting, and Mozai beat his brother until he cried.
Lin Yiyi couldn't bear to hear the crying of children. It had reached the point where she became annoyed whenever she heard it. She quickly plugged her ears with earplugs and asked her sister-in-law to help watch the child.
Escape quickly to find some quiet time.
Only when she felt that she could breathe again did Lin Yiyi go to the cellar to find sweet potatoes, peel them, cut them into pieces, and steam them in a pot. She did not return to the house until they were done.
The two enemies reconciled and played together again, head to head. The sisters-in-law who have experience in raising children are really good.
"You looked unwell just now. What's wrong?" Ma Dongmei took the bowl from her and helped her feed the twins.
Lin Yiyi frowned and leaned against the wall, her tone a little weak, "I can't stand the twins crying. When they start to make noises, I get a headache, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. If I don't plug my ears and stay away from them, I'm afraid I'll die."
"Then you have to be careful. Some people just can't stand hearing children making noises."
Ma Dongmei was worried about her and said, "During the New Year, you teach me how to read and I will help you take care of the child."
Lin Yiyi was more than happy to have someone willing to help, and she wanted to pack up the twins and send them away.
At night, after Zhao Sheng came back, Lin Yiyi was finally alive. For her to sleep with the twins crawling on the kang was harder than jumping into the river to commit suicide.
"You are finally back, hurry up and put your son to sleep."
She grabbed one and put him under the quilt, and the other one crawled out, over and over again. Lin Yiyi was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but the key was that she couldn't hit him or scold him, so she could only suppress her anger.
"Isn't he your son?" The man looked at her pitiful face and asked while trying not to laugh.
Lin Yiyi quickly shook her head, wanting to cry but unable to, "We are enemies, enemies from the previous life and enemies in this life."
The more she talked, the more she collapsed. The twins were not obedient at all. Lin Yiyi's tone was a little tearful. "Why don't we just send them to someone else's home to be raised, and then bring them home when they are two or three years old?"
She means it.
It is really exhausting to hold two crying and screaming children in your arms.
Zhao Sheng saw that she was really feeling unwell and felt very distressed. "I'll take care of her at night. They won't dare to bully you when I'm at home."
He has seen how naughty the little guy is and how full of energy he is. Today, Xin Dan is taking care of the child alone and he must have suffered a lot.
"When they grow bigger and stronger, I'll beat them up twice more to vent your anger."
"......"beat?
Lin Yiyi didn't believe his lies. Youyou scratched his face. The man felt so distressed when he saw it. He was afraid that it would leave scars. He had to see his precious son again sooner or later.
No matter how violent the noise was, whether it was breaking bottles, smashing bowls, hitting and biting people, she never heard a word from Zhao Shengxiong, and her expression never changed.
It's because he can't bear to part with his two precious eggs.
