"Mom, has Aunt Chunfang really caused a big disaster? Will it implicate you and Dad?" Manman raised his little head with a distressed expression on his face.
Two tender little hands pinched the corner of the clothes, kneading it into a nice shape.
Children’s likes and dislikes are the most clear.
Jiang Ningning reached out and held the two thoughtful babies in her arms, kissed them on the top of their heads, and comforted them in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Dad can handle it."
Seeing that the girls were still frowning, she had to use her trump card: "What you need to do now is to go to bed quickly. If you get up too late tomorrow morning, your mother won't be able to send you to school."
On the first day of school, Manman and Xiaxia of course wanted their mother to send them off.
Hearing this, he impatiently got into the small bed, pulled up the quilt to cover his face, leaving only two pairs of big round, blinking eyes.
"Mom, will I get worms if I don't brush my teeth?" Xia Xia suddenly asked.
Recently she felt that one of her baby teeth was itchy and showing signs of falling out.
She didn't dare tell anyone, including her brother.
A few days ago, Aunt Zhu's second front tooth was missing a piece, and he was laughed at by other children in the family compound for a long time. Aunt Zhu said it was because he didn't like to brush his teeth.
"Sister, you are so stupid. If you go brush your teeth now, grandma will use us as a gun to threaten dad to help my aunt."
After hearing what her brother said, Xia Xia no longer dared to mention brushing her teeth.
When I woke up the next day, my baby teeth seemed to hurt even more.
Even my appetite is not as good as before.
"Did you have a nightmare last night?" Jiang Ningning turned her head and asked.
Xia Xia nodded vaguely.
At this time, an excited voice came from outside the yard, "Come quickly, sister, Dad bought us new schoolbags!"
Xia Xia tried hard to eat the food in the bowl and ran to take a look, just in time to avoid her mother's burning gaze.
They were two small army green cross-body bags with a big five-pointed red star embroidered in the middle.
In addition, each of them put a new set of stationery and exercise books in their schoolbags.
The two kids put on their schoolbags, said "Thank you, Dad" to Huo Donglin, and turned their heads, eager to show them to Jiang Ningning.
"It's true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. After Manman and Xia Xia are dressed like this, they look just like they did before." Tian Cuifen was the first to flatter them.
The first two grandsons were always dusty and wore old adult clothes with patches on top of patches, like little country kids, which always made her feel embarrassed.
Manman blinked his eyes, tilted his head, and said in childish words: "Grandma, you said this before. You said that children grow up quickly, so they can just wear the clothes left by adults. We should cultivate the spirit of hard work and simplicity from a young age, so that we will forget our roots when we grow up."
Tian Cuifen was choked. How could a child have such a good memory? It must have been taught by adults. She couldn't help but blame Jiang Ningning in her heart.
He believed that she only asked her two grandsons to be close to her, and also whispered in the ear of her eldest son.
Otherwise, why did Huo Donglin, who used to be obedient and sensible, suddenly turn against him?
"Who came here like this?" she argued.
"Mom, you should eat more pig brains." Jiang Ningning was a stubborn person. She put all the brains on the table in front of Tian Cuifen.
Smiling, she continued, "My sister-in-law and brother-in-law Jianjun have always worn good clothes since they were young, but Donglin and his two children have lived a hard and simple life."
This is simply murderous.
In an instant, the air pressure in the surrounding area dropped to an alarmingly low level.
Tian Cuifen was about to explode when Huo Donglin glanced at her fiercely, "Mom, it's nothing. You can leave in the next two days. I'll book a train ticket for you."
The commendation meeting ended successfully. The filial piety has been shown enough and it’s time to send the people off.
Tian Cuifen was anxious after hearing this, "I, I will go back, Chunfang's problem has not been resolved yet."
From childhood to adulthood, the only decision she could make was to send her eldest son to join the army.
Now that the eldest son has grown stronger, his tone is no longer a discussion, but a formal notification.
"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me. I won't care..."
Huo Donglin spoke in a cold tone. Seeing his wife and children dressed neatly and walking out the door, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and quickly followed them.
Without noticing that the door of the second bedroom was ajar, Huo Chunfang was trembling all over, except for her bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.
Huo Donglin rushed forward to catch up with the mother and son, but after catching up with them, he didn't know how to face them and followed behind silently.
Because of what his son and Tian Cuifen said, he felt both guilty and distressed. The allowance he earned by risking his life at the front was not enjoyed by his wife and children, but was spent by his younger brothers and sisters.
He lowered his eyes, his face was as dark as dead water, and those who saw him were so scared that they hid away from him.
It is estimated that gossip will soon spread that Captain Huo has angered his wife.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and push the bike." Jiang Ningning stopped and glared at him.
Huo Donglin suddenly raised his eyes, walked forward in surprise to take the car, his whole body exuding a joyful aura.
My wife is willing to pay attention to me now. Does that mean she is not so angry anymore?
Jiang Ningning was already angry, but seeing him looking so guilty and at a loss, she paused and revealed a forced smile that said "I can be magnanimous for you".
Without saying a word, Huo Donglin was deeply moved. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom just said don't worry about Dad. She plans to go back. I'll buy a ticket later."
You can do whatever you want with your own family affairs behind closed doors.
Outside, Jiang Ningning never exposes a man's faults and gives him enough face.
Jiang Ningning counted out a few bills and gave them to him. "Mom is in good health. Buy her a sleeper ticket and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some egg cakes."
Seeing this scene, passers-by praised Xiao Jiang for being so filial.
Huo Donglin and Rong Yan had priceless smiles on their faces.
The two kids were used to seeing strange things, and since their dad was a hard worker pushing the cart, they could each hold their mom's hand on one side.
On the first day of school, many parents sent their children to school.
They also ran into Mrs. Lin Jun who lived next door.
Jiang Ningning was stunned, then nodded at her with a changed expression.
Perhaps she didn't expect that she would still pay attention to her, Mrs. Lin Jun showed a surprised expression on her face, her eyes sparkling.
"Go ahead, mom will pick you up after get off work." Jiang Ningning kissed the soft and tender little balls one by one.
A variety of emotions such as disappointment, relief, and worry are mixed in my heart. I feel that the children have grown up almost in the blink of an eye, and I can never get enough of them.
All mothers have to go through this.
Manman put his little hands on her shoulders and comforted her considerately and gently: "Mom, we will always be your little babies."
When he said this word, the little guy blushed first.
This self-taught kid often laughs at his father's silliness, and the two of them are divided into big and small kings.
Xia Xia was annoyed by her brother's silly look, so she puffed up her cheeks and promised seriously: "Mom, I will take good care of Manman."
Jiang Ningning was so adorable by the two little kids that she smiled happily, dispelling the melancholy mood of the young lady. She waved her hand and said, "Mom loves you guys the most. Come in quickly."
