After Qi Lianli, Miao Xiantong and others left, the villagers who had attended the banquet, under the help of Wu Qingshan, moved the plates, bowls, tables and chairs back to their respective homes one after another.
Before leaving, Wu Qingshan said, "Su's wife, if you have any difficulties in life, you can come to the east of the village to find me."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and said, "Forgive me for bothering you. I'd also like to thank you, Village Chief, for arranging this feast today."
"These are all trivial matters. Now you are the mother of four children. I feel at ease knowing you are taking care of them. The Su family will rely on you in the future."
"Don't worry, Village Chief. I'll take care of the Su family. I won't let the five of them starve."
Wu Qingshan glanced at Xiao Lingyu's hands, which were wet with water, and thought: I'm afraid you'll start complaining in a few days.
When Su Ning'an saw Xiao Lingyu going to see the village chief off, he picked up the remaining half bowl of rice and ran to the kitchen, stuffing rice into his mouth as he ran.
Su Ningjie glanced at Xiao Xier who was sitting on the stool, walked over and whispered a few words to her, then began to clean up the dishes on the table.
When Xiao Lingyu returned to the yard, he saw Su Ningjie carrying bowls, chopsticks and plates and walking towards the kitchen, and Su Ningwen following behind with his own small bowl.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu felt a little sorry for the children. Their family had suffered a misfortune and they had to shoulder the burden of the family at such a young age.
"Second brother, let me do it, third brother."
Xiao Lingyu walked over quickly and was about to take the dishes from Su Ningjie's hand when Xiao Xier's baby voice came over.
"Mother, mother, Xiao Xier can't get down, she needs a hug."
Xiao Lingyu saw Xiao Xier sitting on the stool, with her short legs hanging in the air not far from the ground, but Xiao Xier's short legs made it difficult for her to sit, and she could easily fall off the stool if she wasn't careful.
"Okay, mother will come and hold you."
Xiao Xier opened her little arms happily, and Xiao Lingyu leaned over and picked up Xiao Xier.
Xiao Xier lay on Xiao Lingyu's shoulder and blinked at Su Ningjie.
Su Ningjie didn't delay any longer and took Su Ningwen into the kitchen.
Xiao Lingyu carried Xiao Xier to Su Xingyi and said, "Hey, take care of Xiao Xier. I'll go to the kitchen."
"Mom, no, I want to sleep."
At this time, Su Xingyi said, "Xiao... Miss Xiao, please take Xiao Xier back to the room to rest. You have been traveling for a long time."
Seeing Su Xingyi said this, Xiao Lingyu did not insist on going to the kitchen to help clean up.
The children came here this way before she came.
Now, in the eyes of the villagers and Su Xingyi, she is a young lady who has never done any rough work, and her character cannot be destroyed for the time being.
"Okay, which room is it?"
Xiao Xier said, "Mother, she's over there."
Under Xiao Xier's guidance, Xiao Lingyu went to the main room facing south.
The main room is right in front of you. There is a small table and two small stools in the middle. In the left room are two bathtubs, one large and one small. Next to them is a wooden washstand with a palm-sized bronze mirror, a washbasin, a face towel, and bath beans on it. The walls are dark yellow, and some places have peeled off, revealing the blue bricks inside.
"Mom, that small bucket is for Daddy to wash me, the big one is for Daddy, and the one outside is where I sleep."
Xiao Lingyu patted the little Xi'er in her arms and said, "Okay, Mommy will carry you to sleep."
After passing through the main hall, I entered another room. Inside the room was a large wooden bed that was estimated to be nearly three meters long. There was a small wooden bed under the window. On one side of the wall was a row of bamboo wardrobes and a rattan chair.
Compared with the rooms in the post station, they are much worse. There is no antique style at all. They can only be described as simple.
Xiao Lingyu placed Xiao Xi'er on the crib and said softly, "Xiao Xi'er, go to sleep."
Xiao Xier took Xiao Lingyu's hand and said, "Mom, sleep too."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the big bed and thought that she would have to sleep in the same bed with a strange man tonight. She felt scared at the thought.
Although he was blind and had difficulty walking and could not do anything to her, she did not want to sleep with him.
"Mother."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the small wooden bed and said, "Xiao Xi'er, let mother hold you to sleep."
Xiao Lingyu picked up Xiao Xier, bent his knees and lay down on his side, just enough to fit her.
Xiao Lingyu felt exhausted instantly, his eyelids became heavier, and he fell asleep in a moment.
Little Xier in Xiao Lingyu's arms was extremely excited and couldn't fall asleep for a while. Now that she had her mother holding her while she slept, no one would ever say that she was a child born by a father but raised by no mother.
Xiao Xier fell asleep while thinking carefully...
In the kitchen.
Su Lao Da and Su Lao Er washed the dishes and put them away. Su Lao San was unable to help and sat on the kitchen threshold, "staring" at Su Xingyi in the yard.
Su Ningjie glanced at the sun outside. Although it was May, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and it was the hottest time of the day.
"Brother, eat that small bowl of rice and leftovers first. From now on, as long as mother doesn't go into the kitchen, she won't find out."
Su Ning'an's eyes lit up, "Second brother, you are right, it would be better if we don't let mother light the fire and cook."
Su Ningjie said, "This afternoon, let's go to the mountains to see if we can catch some rabbits, and then go to the river to catch some fish. We'll cook fish for Mom tonight."
"good."
Su Ning'an no longer hesitated and put the remaining half bowl of rice and leftovers into his stomach.
The three brothers came to the yard and pushed Su Xingyi to the toilet in the backyard. They saw Su Xingyi holding the wheelchair armrests with both hands, as if he was using a lot of strength, and the veins on his arms were bulging.
Su Ningan said, "Dad, let me help you."
"Let Dad do it himself."
Su Xingyi struggled to stand up from the wheelchair, and Su Ningan quickly supported Su Xingyi.
