"Oh my! Qingqing, why are you disobedient again!"
Qiao Qingqing had just sent her son away when a scream came from behind, which immediately made her look guilty.
Turning around, she saw her mother-in-law rushing over and snatching the water scoop from her hand without saying a word. Qiao Qingqing tried to defend herself: "Mom, I don't think I'm that fragile. I have no problem washing vegetables and cooking."
Five years of hard work have transformed Shi Meiyun. She is no longer the girl who would cry at every turn a few years ago. Years of hard work have not only strengthened her body, but also honed her mind.
Even the clothes she wore were made by her stitch by stitch.
Simple and wear-resistant, it is no problem to wear it for several years.
But after she became strong and rough, she began to look at her daughter-in-law as spoiled.
For example, after Qiao Qingqing unexpectedly became pregnant with her second child, she repeatedly warned Qiao Qingqing not to work. Others said that she would spoil Qiao Zhiqing.
Even Qiao Qingqing herself couldn't help but have such thoughts.
But Shi Meiyun kept a straight face: "I'm not telling you not to move, but jobs like washing vegetables and cooking are potentially dangerous for a pregnant woman. What if you slip? What if you accidentally hit your stomach?"
"Giving birth to triplets took a toll on your body, and you've been working so hard since then that your body is weak! Your belly is still unusually large for your second child. What if it's another... Tell me, is this something you can risk?"
Qiao Qingqing was speechless. Her once gentle mother-in-law now nags her. It is such a sweet burden.
Shi Meiyun forcefully helped the person to sit in the pavilion to rest, and then washed some cucumbers and tomatoes for her and brought them to her, asking her to eat while waiting.
Zhou Lanfang, who was kneading dough in the kitchen, and Yao Xiaoman, who was killing chickens in the yard, did not dare to speak up for her. They even shrank their necks, fearing that they would be blamed by Shi Meiyun. After all, they did not "take care" of Sister Qingqing...
However, Shi Meiyun did not implicate other people.
Yao Xiaoman felt that she had escaped a disaster, and while Aunt Shi was not paying attention, she patted her chest and expressed her relief to Qiao Qingqing from a distance.
Qiao Qingqing smiled and helplessly spread her hands towards her, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Yao Xiaoman said cheerfully, "No problem! Lan Fang and I have almost learned how to cook all the dishes you cook."
Five years ago, not long after Lu Heng's brother-in-law came from Beijing, she married Qi Guodong.
Since their families were all sent down to the countryside, their wedding was a simple one. Both parties had written letters to their families before that day, which was considered to be the end of the family's relationship.
With the witness of the new team leader, Lu Heng's brother-in-law, and Sister Qingqing, the lovers became legal husband and wife.
Sister Qingqing prepared a dowry for her. Just as she had promised before, she not only gave her a bicycle, but also gave herself the place to accompany the army.
Half a year later, Lan Fang also married Zhuang Xiaobai and Sister Qingqing gave her the same dowry as she did.
Therefore, they both live in the family compound on the island now. As for the house they bought from the production team before, they sold it to the educated youth who went to the countryside later at a higher price.
Today, the three sisters all work on the island and no longer have to work in the fields. They have a lot of free time and often get together.
