When she heard that her mother-in-law had prepared things for visiting relatives, Liu Zhaodi immediately ran to the main room and opened one of the bamboo baskets first. She saw two large cornmeal steamed buns and a few cornmeal dumplings inside. In addition, there was a small piece of brown sugar and some biscuits wrapped in newspaper.
After reading this, Liu Zhaodi immediately became distraught and complained, "Mom, why did you only take so little? I remember we still had some meat at home. Why didn't you bring some for me?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Cuihua's eyes widened immediately. "What? You want to bring meat? I don't have any. Otherwise, you can cut off some of my flesh and take it with you."
"Don't you see what the situation is like outside? I'm still willing to give it away like this. Look at what other families bring when they visit relatives. You're just a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Seeing her mother-in-law about to get angry, Zhang Xiuzhi hurried forward to help, "Mom, don't be angry, this is just how my third sister-in-law is, don't you know?"
Niu Cuihua understood what her eldest daughter-in-law said, but she was still angry. "Forget it, let's go quickly and stop annoying people at home."
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Liu Zhaodi quickly took her husband and children away. Soon, only four people were left in the house: Niu Cuihua and her husband, Zhang Huilan and Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi, lying in her mother's arms, originally thought that today would be a very boring day. However, around noon, the originally quiet yard suddenly became lively.
I only heard a little boy chattering, "Mom, didn't you say there was a little sister at grandma's house? Where is she?"
An adult woman's voice then rang out, "Hey, run slower. I've already told you that the little sister is still young. How can she wait for you in the yard?"
Hearing this voice in the house, Li Mingxi wondered if it was her aunt coming. But why did this voice sound familiar?
After a while, I heard the voice of my grandmother Niu Cuihua, "Hey, why are you here? Didn't you say you had something to do today?"
"Oh, don't mention it, let's talk about it later. By the way, Mom, where is my fourth brother's child? I haven't seen him yet. I've been busy recently and have no time to come."
"It's in your brother's room. Come on, it looks really good. I'll show you around."
As they were talking, a group of people walked into the west room and saw Li Mingxi lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes.
"Little sister, I'm here."
Li Mingxi was looking at the roof and wondering where he had heard his aunt's voice just now. Then he heard the cry of a little boy and caught a glimpse of a round object running towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her youngest son about to crash into the bed, Li Guiying hurriedly stopped him, "Yu Xiaowei, stop right there."
Hearing his mother's roar, the little boy who was originally having fun immediately stopped, lowered his head silently, then raised his head again, blinked his big eyes and looked at the bed cautiously.
Li Mingxi, who had already turned her head away at this time, looked at the aggrieved little boy and felt that he was quite cute, so she laughed out loud inadvertently.
The originally unhappy little boy immediately smiled when he heard Li Mingxi's laughter, blinking his peach blossom eyes and looking at Li Mingxi with shining eyes.
She looked up and shouted to Li Guiying, "Mom, my little sister just smiled at me."
"Well, I saw it. You don't need to tell me again."
"Hey, look at how you talk, child? The child is telling you something happily, but you have this attitude," Niu Cuihua said as she reached out and tapped the little girl.
Li Guiying argued, "Mom, you don't know. Our little one is lawless at home. He seems so sensible outside, but he's just pretending."
Niu Cuihua: "Aren't all children like this? Don't you know that you were more naughty than your son when you were little? Aren't you doing pretty well now?"
"Forget it, forget it, I won't say anymore." Li Guiying quickly changed the subject.
"Sister-in-law, how do you feel now?"
Zhang Huilan: "I'm fine. I feel like I've recovered a long time ago. I want to get up, but Mom won't let me. Look, you've come all the way here to visit relatives, and you still have to come to my room to see me."
Li Guiying joked, "Fourth sister-in-law, please don't say that. We are no match for each other. Besides, you haven't even finished your confinement yet. I don't dare ask you to get up to pick me up. If Fourth Brother finds out, he'll beat me up."
Zhang Huilan's face immediately flushed after hearing what Li Guiying said. Seeing the blush on her fourth sister-in-law's face, Li Guiying knew what to do. Although her fourth sister-in-law had given birth to a child, she was still very shameless. She really didn't know how she had managed to catch up with her fourth brother's thick skin.
Thinking of this, Li Guiying stopped teasing and turned to look at Li Mingxi lying on the bed.
As a result, he saw the little girl lying on the bed looking at him intently, so he immediately started teasing her.
"Xiao Xi, I'm your aunt. Do you like me?"
Li Mingxi looked at the aunt in front of her who looked exactly like the director's mother in her previous life. She immediately became excited and stretched out her hand to grab it, while shouting, "Director's mother, why are you here too?"
Li Mingxi thought she was speaking normally, but she completely forgot that she was just a newborn baby who could not speak at all. Therefore, in the ears of adults, she was just making sounds to express her joy.
Therefore, several people looked at Li Mingxi happily and praised, "Mom, this child is so beautiful. She will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up."
Niu Cuihua said bluntly, "That's right, this child is much prettier than you sisters were when you were little, and she will definitely be prettier than you guys in the future."
Yu Xiaowei, who was standing next to him, saw his mother chatting with his grandmother and no one was paying attention to him, so he tiptoed to take off his shoes, got on the bed, and crawled to Li Mingxi.
Li Mingxi was concentrating on looking at Li Guiying when suddenly a big face appeared in front of him. The moment their eyes met, Li Mingxi was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.
