"Really, really, my sister has a scar about five centimeters long on the sole of her left foot.
When she was four years old, I made her some straw sandals for her to wear. They weren't woven properly, and when she put them on, they got scratched by a rock. I was terrified at the time, but I tried to comfort her and didn't tell anyone. A few days later, she was washed away by the water, and I never mentioned it again.
Liu Zhuo frowned upon hearing this, but nodded. "There is indeed a scar. It was when I first picked her up, maybe she was soaked in water for too long. The scar was swollen badly and turned white. Her mother and I even bought scar cream, but it didn't go away."
Captain Huang was delighted at first when he heard this, then he stood up and slapped his son hard on the head.
"What were you doing so early? If you knew, wouldn't your sister have gone home long ago?"
Third Brother Huang curled his lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
"It's been so long that I didn't remember it. If I had remembered it, I would have told you guys a long time ago."
The captain's wife looked at Brother Huang San with a smile.
"Third brother, you finally did something human! But forcing your sister to wear straw sandals was wrong."
She then flashed her fist at Huang Sange and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Then, the captain's wife turned her gaze to Song Huimin and rubbed her hands.
"Sister, we don't need to acknowledge each other this time, right? Does this prove that Xuxu is my daughter?"
Song Huimin smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sister Yang, Xuxu will be handed over to you from now on."
As he spoke, he took out a wad of money and many national bills from his pocket.
She stuffed all these things into the captain's wife's hands.
"Sister Yang, take these. Although you are Xuxu's biological parents, Liu Zhuo and I watched her grow up. Now we don't have time to take care of her, so we have no choice but to entrust her and her child to you."
The captain's wife frowned and said, "Sister, what are you doing? I can still afford to support my own daughter."
After saying that, he stuffed the money back.
Song Huimin: "No, Sister Yang, you misunderstood. Our grandson is still young, and Xuxu isn't in very good health. It's not a good idea to always breastfeed him. Take these money and tickets and help exchange them for some milk powder tickets so we can buy some milk powder for him."
Captain Huang nodded and said, "Take it. Comrade Song is right."
They really don't have that much money and can't afford milk powder.
If you have the conditions, you should give your grandson the best and not let your daughter and grandson down.
The captain's wife nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Thank you very much."
"Hey! Why are you being polite?"
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing had quietly gone to the kitchen to cook while the two families were chatting.
Seeing that the two families had almost finished their conversation, he instructed Xiao Ayan to call a few people to eat.
"Uncles and aunts, sister is calling you to eat!"
Little Ayan poked his head out of the kitchen, made a trumpet shape with his two chubby hands, and shouted to everyone.
The two families came to their senses after hearing this. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they had forgotten the time.
Captain Huang looked towards the kitchen and said, "Mian girl, Qing girl, we'll go back first."
The captain's wife: "Yes, the three of us can just go home and eat."
After the two heard this, Su Mianmian poked Su Qingqing and signaled her to go out and keep the other person.
Su nodded gently and left the kitchen. "Uncle, aunt, you guys stay here and eat! Mianmian cooked your meal."
The captain's wife wanted to refuse, and Su Qingqing looked at Liu Xu.
Liu Xu looked at the two of them and said, "Uncle, aunt, and third brother, please stay here and eat."
Captain Huang and his wife nodded repeatedly. Since their daughter had left it for her, how could they not eat it?
But my daughter still calls that brat "Third Brother" and hasn't changed her mind to call them "Dad" and "Mom"!
Thinking of this, Captain Huang and his wife glared at their unlucky son.
After taking care of Captain Huang's family, Liu Xu took Third Brother Huang to the kitchen to serve food.
Seeing that there were guests today, Su Mianmian prepared a sumptuous meal, including braised pork, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with leeks, and stir-fried lettuce.
Su Mianmian left some food for Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan, and brought the rest to the two large tables in the yard.
"Let's eat!" Su Mianmian called everyone.
Everyone exchanged some pleasantries and started eating.
…
After they had dinner, the Huang family went home.
It was not dark yet, Liu Zhuo and Xiao Ayan went into the house to see Xiao Afu, and Liu Xu pulled Song Huimin to the yard to chat with Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing.
As they were chatting, Shen Yuandao came in from the yard.
He put the bicycle aside and said:
"Mianmian, I'm going on maternity leave tomorrow!"
Su Qingqing: "Hiss!"
Willow Catkins: “Ah?”
Song Huimin looked confused.
Su Mianmian: ...
The air suddenly became quiet.
Shen Yuandao parked his bicycle and turned to look over, his whole body froze.
It's over!
It's so embarrassing that there are guests today!
Su Mianmian raised her eyebrows when she saw him like that. "Why are you taking maternity leave? Shouldn't it be me? Besides, it's only five and a half months. Isn't it too..." too early to take maternity leave?
Before she finished speaking, Shen Yuandao ran over and covered her mouth, “Ancestor, please don’t say it, I want face.”
Qin Huaichuan had been following him and saw the whole process. He finally couldn't help it.
"Hahahaha, Lao Shen, you've flipped over!"
After laughing, he looked at Song Huimin and said, "Auntie, please forgive me for making fun of you. My brother has a seizure every now and then."
Shen Yuandao gave him a death stare.
Qin Huaichuan: ...
Song Huimin reacted, but she didn't think it was a big deal. It was rare to see gay men like this.
"You two haven't eaten yet, right? Mianmian left some rice in the pot for you."
Shen Yuan said: "Yeah, I understand, Auntie."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Huaichuan to the kitchen. Qin Huaichuan was about to go out with the meal when he was stopped by Shen Yuandao.
"What?" Qin Huaichuan asked in confusion.
Shen Yuandao said lightly: “Eat here.”
Qin Huaichuan was even more confused, "Why?"
Shen Yuandao said nothing, just looked at him.
Qin Huaichuan was confused, looked at him, and immediately understood.
"Old Shen, why are you blushing?"
Shen Yuandao: …He was too unstable just now.
Finally, Qin Huaichuan stayed in the kitchen and ate obediently under Shen Yuandao's gaze.
At this time in the yard
Su Mianmian waited for a long time but didn't see the two people come out, and she immediately understood.
Liu Xu: "Mianmian, why don't they come out to eat?"
Su Mianmian shrugged, "It's just for face!"
They chatted for a while, and after Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan finished their meal and washed the pot, they took Xiao Ayan back to their home.
Liu Xu took Song Huimin back to the house.
Song Huimin pulled her daughter to sit on the edge of the kang, took out a small cloth bag from her pocket and handed it to Liu Xu.
"Take this money. You'll have to pay rent if you live here in the future, right? You and my sweet grandson's daily food and drink are very expensive. Mom knows you don't have much money, but you can't just keep eating and living for free at Mianmian and Qingqing's house, right?"
