Xie's mother looked gloomy, but she didn't say anything. There were a lot of leftovers that night, so she and Xie's father heated up the food and ate it the next morning.
Lin Xiangyi didn’t care whether Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun came back or not. She just wanted to wash her hair and take a bath.
It has been more than half a month since she gave birth, and she really can't stand it anymore.
She could barely bear to wipe her body with hot water every day, but her head hadn't been washed for a long time and it was terribly itchy.
Under Lin Xiangyi's insistence, Xie's mother finally agreed to let her take a shower, but only at noon.
Lin Xiangyi was very lucky. The weather was quite hot that day and the sun was shining brightly. Xie's mother boiled some mugwort water and washed her hair herself.
After washing her hair and taking a shower, Lin Xiangyi felt lighter and more relaxed.
Under the careful care of Xie's mother, Lin Xiangyi did not catch a cold, and as time went by, her health recovered better and better.
Gao Shengnan said she would be back in five days, and she really came back on the fifth day.
In addition to bringing her own luggage, she also brought rice and vegetables from home, which added up to more than 200 kilograms.
It took several hours to get there, and Lin Xiangyi had no idea how she got it.
Gao Shengnan: "I didn't walk much this time. I found a bullock cart to transport the food to the county town. I took the bus to your county town, and then took the bullock cart here. Otherwise, there would be so much food at home and no one would eat it. I won't talk about the sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are not valuable. I gave them all away. But I couldn't bear to give away the rice, flour and vegetables that grew well, so I brought them all here, hahaha."
Everyone: “…” Admiration.
"Shengnan, have you dealt with the things at home?" After Gao Shengnan sat down to drink some water and take a breath, Aunt Zhao couldn't wait to ask her daughter.
Lin Xiangyi and Xie's mother pricked up their ears to listen.
"It's been handled," Gao Shengnan smiled. After being back for a few days, she looked much more haggard, and it was obvious that she had been running around and working hard these days.
Xie's mother was curious: "How did you deal with it?"
Gao Shengnan blinked and said, "I rented out our house to Aunt Liu next door. Her son was getting married and they couldn't live in their house anymore, and they didn't have the money to build a new one, so I asked them if they wanted to rent our house, and they agreed immediately."
Aunt Zhao was overjoyed: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"
Aunt Zhao was very worried when Gao Shengnan went back these days. She didn't know how her daughter would solve the current difficult situation.
but.
"If you rent the house to them, where will you live when you go back in the future?" Xie's mother asked again.
"I only rented one room to them," said Gao Shengnan, adding that their home has two rooms.
"Fifty cents a month is a low rent, and the extra thing is that they can help us look after the house."
"What about the fields?"
"The fields are given to the village chief for cultivation. The family grows crops and gives us three-tenths of the harvested grain." Three-tenths of grain is not much, and we still have to pay agricultural taxes and so on.
At least they won’t have to worry about having no food to eat when they go back home for the New Year.
Aunt Zhao felt relieved when she heard this.
Her parents-in-law and her brother-in-law's family certainly wouldn't dare to provoke the village chief. As for the Liu family, it was a large family with many people. If her parents-in-law wanted to go and argue, they would have to consider whether the Liu family was easy to provoke.
The house and the fields were saved!
"Good job!" Xie's mother said proudly and gratified.
Lin Xiangyi also smiled, confirming her again. She was right.
"Cousin, you've been busy for a few days, so take a good rest for the next two days," Lin Xiangyi said, "I'll arrange some work for you in two days."
"No need." Gao Shengnan was a career-minded person who wanted to get down to work right away. "If it's urgent, I can do it right now—"
"Don't worry," Lin Xiangyi waved her hand, "You look haggard, you should have a good rest first, otherwise how can you work for me if you collapse from exhaustion?"
"Okay!" Gao Shengnan grinned. "Then I'll have a good rest these two days, get my spirit back, and do my best for you!"
"Okay, then you should go and have a rest," Lin Xiangyi said, "There is hot water in the kitchen for Kuai Le Le to wash his butt. You can take a shower with some hot water, and you will feel much more comfortable."
Mother Xie: "Yes, I'll make you some noodles. Eat them after you take a shower."
"Okay, thank you Xiangyi and Auntie."
-
There are limited rooms in the house, and Aunt Zhao has been sleeping with Lele these days. Now that Gao Shengnan is here, she has to sleep with Aunt Zhao. Lin Xiangyi suggests that Lele sleep with her in the future.
"Eeyore?" In the evening, after taking a bath, Lin Xiangyi carried Lele back to the room.
Xie Qingxiao hasn't come back yet.
Lin Xiangyi put Lele on the bed and changed Lele's diaper while looking down at her big son.
I don’t know if Lele knew that she would sleep with her parents tonight, she was particularly excited, her little hands tightly grasped her long hair, and her little mouth made some gurgling sounds.
"What? You're going to sleep with your parents tonight, so you have to be a good boy, okay?"
"Eehee?" Lele grinned.
“Without teeth, his smile looks ugly,” Lin Xiangyi commented.
“……” Lele pouted and burst into tears.
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
"Don't cry, don't cry, you look the best," Lin Xiangyi quickly changed his diaper and picked him up with a guilty conscience.
Turning around, I saw Xie Qingxiao standing at the door.
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
"You're back?"
Xie Qingxiao hummed and said, "Why is he crying?"
"Didn't you hear?"
"I heard it," Xie Qingxiao said, "You said he was ugly without teeth."
"...You're still asking even though you know that." Lin Xiangyi rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and said with a guilty conscience, "I didn't know he could understand."
Xie Qingxiao had already walked behind Lin Xiangyi, looking at his youngest son, and commented: "It's ugly even if he cries without teeth."
Lele: “Wow!” Even more heartbreaking.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: "..." Is it a coincidence or can they really understand it?
"Everyone says he can understand, why are you still criticizing him?" Lin Xiangyi turned the tables.
Xie Qingxiao: “…” Didn’t you just say that?
"Okay, go take a shower and I'll feed him," Lin Xiangyi sat down on the bed and lifted her clothes.
Lele stopped crying immediately and swallowed the ration in big gulps.
Xie Qingxiao went to the closet to get some clothes to change into, and when he turned around he accidentally saw this scene: "..."
"Can't find your clothes?" Lin Xiangyi noticed that Xie Qingxiao didn't move for a long time, so she looked up and asked, and saw him staring straight at her chest.
Lin Xiangyi blushed and turned away: "Don't be so vulgar."
"I look at my wife, what's so obscene about that?" Xie Qingxiao lowered his voice.
"Go take a shower quickly," Lin Xiangyi urged.
Xie Qingxiao chuckled and went to take a shower. When he came back, Lele was full and was put on the bed by Lin Xiangyi. He was mumbling something and Lin Xiangyi responded to him incoherently.
"My cousin is here?" Xie Qingxiao interrupted.
When he finished taking a shower and passed by the main room, he heard Gao Shengnan and Aunt Zhao talking.
