"Six o'clock? Then you walked for more than six hours?" Lin Shan was surprised.
Gao Shengnan: “Almost.”
"..." Lin Xiangyi and Lin Shan admired them and picked up some meat for them: "Aunt, cousin, you should eat more meat. You have walked for so long and it is very tiring."
"Thank you, we can do it ourselves," Gao Shengnan took the bowl and said with a smile.
"Then eat more meat. Don't be restrained. We have plenty of meat at home," said Lin Xiangyi.
My family runs a braised food workshop, and the thing we have the most is meat.
Considering that Lin Xiangyi was still in confinement after giving birth, Xie Qingxiao specifically asked his fifth uncle and third uncle to bring back the meat.
I brought back half a pound of pork tenderloin and a fish this morning, and I cooked this half a pound of pork tenderloin and fish for lunch.
"After we finish eating this meat, we'll kill a chicken tonight."
"Killing a chicken? No need, it would be so embarrassing..." Aunt Zhao thought that the chicken was killed just to entertain them.
Mother Xie could also hear the noises outside in the kitchen. She and Aunt Zhao were sisters, so how could she not know what Aunt Zhao was thinking?
She poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Sister, you don't have to be so polite. We would have killed the chicken even if you didn't come. Didn't I tell you during the Chinese New Year? My in-laws sent us a lot of meat, and we couldn't even eat the chickens we raised at home.
I wanted to sell it originally, but then I thought that Xiangyi needed to take good care of her body during the confinement period, so I kept it. I have been in the city for a while, and now I have a lot of chickens. Killing one every day is enough.”
After the family conditions improved, Xie's mother has become more generous. In the past, she might not be willing to eat a chicken all year round, but now that she is taking care of Lin Xiangyi during her confinement, she doesn't feel sorry for killing a chicken a day.
Aunt Zhao and Gao Shengnan were also surprised when they heard this, but it was not because of them that it was good, otherwise it would have been a bit stressful.
"That's fine. My mother and I don't have any expensive gifts to bring," Gao Shengnan said with a smile.
"No need to bring any gifts," Lin Xiangyi said hurriedly, "I'm already very grateful that my aunt is here to take care of my child."
"That's different. You paid me for coming to take care of your children. Public things are public and private things are private. As their aunt, it's my responsibility to give the two children a little gift. These are two small clothes I made by myself. They're not worth much," said Aunt Zhao with a smile.
Lin Xiangyi said, "Okay, then I'll thank Auntie on behalf of Kuai Le Le."
"I put the luggage away. I'll take it out later."
"Don't be in a hurry, let's eat first," Xie's mother fried a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and brought it out and placed it in front of Aunt Zhao and Gao Shengnan.
"By the way, where is Axiao and my uncle?" Gao Shengnan asked again.
She wanted to ask just now, but she hasn't seen Xie's father and Xie Qingxiao since she entered the door.
Mother Xie: "Ah Xiao has gone to the county town and won't be back for lunch. Your uncle is busy in the workshop. We will send the meal to him after we prepare it. He should have eaten a lot by now. Don't worry about him."
"Is your uncle also helping out in the workshop? What about the work in the fields?"
"We hired someone to do the work in the fields."
"That's great! By the way, is the workshop nearby? Can I go take a look later?"
"Okay, I'll take you to see it after dinner," said Xie's mother.
…
After dinner, Xie's mother took Aunt Zhao and Gao Shengnan to visit the workshop, while Lin Xiangyi stayed at home with Lin Shan to take care of the happy children.
Lin Xiangyi fed Kuai Kuai milk and he soon fell asleep.
Lin Xiangyi went to Lin Shan's room and saw him lying on the bed with Lele beside him. He lay on his side, put one hand on Lele, patted his back gently, and hummed a nursery rhyme.
Lin Xiangyi was watching from the side, she felt that Lin Shan like this was unfamiliar.
But his skill in taking care of children is real and he really does bring up Happy very well. Even the noisy Lele can be coaxed into good shape by him.
But he actually said that this was all the experience he gained from guiding her...
"Dad." Lin Xiangyi called.
"Shh!" Lin Shan turned his head and made a gesture to her to keep quiet, then pointed at Lele.
“……” Lin Xiangyi thought about it and went out.
About ten minutes later, Lin Shan came out: "Xiang Yi, do you want to talk to Dad about something?"
Lin Xiangyi glanced at him and asked, "Is Lele asleep?"
"Go to sleep, go to sleep. This kid is even more noisy than when you were a child!" Lin Shan patted his shoulder. He was afraid that turning over would wake up Lele. He had been lying on his side and his arm was numb from being pressed.
"Was I very noisy when I was a child?" Lin Xiangyi suddenly asked.
"Yes," Lin Shan was not on guard. Thinking of Lin Xiangyi's childhood, he laughed and said:
"When you were just born, you kissed your mother, but your mother didn't take care of you much, so I had to take care of you. You cried all night long, and I had to coax you for a long time every day. At that time, I don't know how many sleepless nights I stayed up, but it got better slowly. I took care of you more, and you kissed me slowly. When your mother wanted to take care of you, you insisted on me holding you, haha~"
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
"..." Lin Shan restrained his smile and scratched his head: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Are you going back to the county town this afternoon?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
"Yes," Lin Shan nodded, "I've been on leave for about ten days. You have someone to help take care of the children, and it's almost time for me to go back to work. But I'll come when I have time... Is that okay?"
He said the latter sentence very carefully.
Lin Xiangyi laughed: "If I don't agree, you won't come?"
Lin Shan: “…” Of course I’ll come, even if I have to be thick-skinned.
Lin Xiangyi snorted.
Lin Shan thought she agreed, and immediately said with a smile: "Then I will come when I have time. If you need anything from dad, you can also tell dad, okay?"
…
In the afternoon, Lin Shan reluctantly returned to the city.
"Xiang Yi, you have a great business mind. You have run your workshop in an orderly manner. In just half a year, you have achieved this scale. It's amazing!"
In the afternoon, after Lin Xiangyi woke up, Gao Shengnan came to chat with her.
"I just gave an idea," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "I helped take care of it at the beginning, but then the pregnancy got worse and I was powerless. Now Qingxiao is taking care of it."
"I heard that Xiao went to the city with you to wait for the birth of your baby for a month?"
"yes."
"……No wonder."
"Hmm?" Lin Xiangyi looked at Gao Shengnan and asked, "What's the matter?"
"..." Gao Shengnan paused and said, "I was a little hesitant about whether to say it, but after thinking about it, I decided to say it."
"Didn't I go to visit the workshop today? I noticed that the employees were a bit lazy... I was wondering if it was just the way it was..."
Gao Shengnan looked at Lin Xiangyi's face and said, "Is it because you and Axiao went to the city for a while, and the people under you became a little lazy without you in charge?"
"..." Lin Xiangyi frowned and sat up straight.
