"Remember, that woman named Wang Xiaohua is indeed very strange and shameless. I will be on guard against her."
Pei Guoqiang didn't tell Li Miaomiao about the complicated things that happened in the ward when she was away.
It is not impossible for Wang Xiaohua, this woman, to do anything. Besides, my second sister-in-law never says useless words. If she says so, she must have ideas and reasons.
Since Pei Guoqiang is here, I might as well bring all the food I made for Liu Lin over.
Li Miaomiao didn't care about dinner that night, leaving it to her mother-in-law. She looked at Pei Yifan who was reading a book nearby and said, "Xiaofan, are you going back to the village with me and grandpa, or with grandma?"
"I'll go back to the village with you." Pei Yifan said without much thought.
"Okay then, pack up, we're about to leave."
Li Miaomiao said this and went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some things. Of course, this was mainly to cover up her tracks. She also bought a lot of things from the system.
Although the economic situation is not good this year, some things should not be publicized too much. Moreover, some things are not open now, so we should pay attention to them. But it also depends on the situation. Li Miaomiao will never neglect Liu Lin.
Not to mention that Liu Lin is usually a good person. She was very nice to the original owner and the child before. And for the sake of her parents-in-law, Li Miaomiao also plans to be more considerate so that her parents-in-law can resolve the knot in their hearts that has lasted for many years. Otherwise, they will always feel inferior to the Liu family.
"Miaomiao, you don't have to spend so much. This is the condition of our family. Besides, we have divided the family property. It's not your responsibility to spend this much."
Old Man Pei saw that Li Miaomiao had stuffed a lot of things into the car, especially the sheets and quilt covers. He knew that Li Miaomiao was preparing them for Liu Lin. He admired Li Miaomiao's generosity, but didn't want Li Miaomiao to spend so much money.
He and his wife had not thought of this at first, and the conditions at home were such. Their original plan was just to clean up the place, but what the second son's wife did was indeed more appropriate. After all, the fourth son's wife's family was well-off, so she was a little spoiled.
"Dad, you and Mom are living with us now. Guoan and I are busy on weekdays, and we're so grateful to you and Mom for helping us manage the family and taking care of Xiaofan. It's not right for me to make all the arrangements for you now, not to mention that my fourth brother's wife and I are sisters-in-law. Don't overthink it. I know my limits and I'm doing everything within my capacity."
When I returned to the village, I felt that it was much quieter than usual. There were no sounds of laughter and noise as before. Occasionally, two children ran by, hurriedly looking at what they were trying to do.
Li Miaomiao looked curious but didn't ask any more questions. She would know everything if she asked later. Anyway, they still had to stay in the village for some time. It was already late, so they should get home early and clean up the house.
When she got home, Li Miaomiao looked at the familiar yard and still felt a little nostalgic. She had a sense of security and peace of mind. However, the yard at this time was less green than before.
Li Miaomiao had planted some drought-resistant plants in the yard before, but after they left for so long and the weather was so dry, all the plants in the yard dried up and died.
I pushed open the door and entered the room, there was a thick layer of dust inside.
Li Miaomiao did not let Old Man Pei clean up alone, but worked together with him. She was strong and quick, so she cleaned up very quickly.
Pei Yifan originally wanted to help, but Li Miaomiao didn't let him. Li Miaomiao had just noticed that Pei Yifan wanted to go out, and probably because she still had work to do, he stayed at home to help her.
"No need. You've been away for so long. You must miss your old friends now that you're back. Go play with them. There are some candies on the table that I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. You can take some and put them in your pocket to share with your friends."
Pei Yifan was not so naive after hearing what Li Miaomiao said. However, he did not refute his mother's words. He just nodded and said, "Mom, I'm going out."
"Go, come back early, don't be too late."
After cleaning for a full hour and cleaning the house inside and out, Li Miaomiao was finally satisfied.
Although Liu Lin moved in, Li Miaomiao did not vacate her own room, but instead vacated her son's room.
Although this room is smaller than hers, Pei Guoan had painted the walls before, and Li Miaomiao bought environmentally friendly paint from the system that would not affect pregnant women and children, and painted the bed, cabinets, doors, windows and tables.
In order to avoid being eye-catching, Li Miaomiao chose the natural wood color, but the color was well blended and it looks clean and refreshing when painted.
After painting, Li Miaomiao opened the doors and windows for ventilation. They can move in tomorrow without any problems. This paint is quick-drying. In fact, the system instructions say that it can be used one hour after painting, and there will be no volatile substances or odors.
After Li Miaomiao finished all this, she looked around the room and felt that something was missing. Suddenly, she slapped her forehead.
"Oh, there's still a crib missing. I was wondering if there was something missing."
Li Miaomiao is a person of action. As soon as she thought of it, she immediately took a machete and put it on her waist, planning to go up the mountain to get some wood to make a small bed for her niece.
Li Miaomiao is strong and flexible, so she has no problem making a baby crib for such a simple carpentry job.
In order to do better, Li Miaomiao bought several drawings from the system and planned to follow them. This would save a lot of time and make the product more practical.
After getting the wood down from the mountain, Li Miaomiao hurriedly made some dinner, asked her father-in-law to take her son to rest, and she buried herself in carpentry work in the room.
Li Miaomiao's habit of forgetting time when she was busy was unchangeable. By the time she finished making the crib, it was already morning and it was light outside.
Rubbing his stiff neck and looking at the results of his night's work, Li Miaomiao was still very satisfied.
The burrs on the crib were polished off. The baby's skin is very delicate. Li Miaomiao also installed a small ornament at the head of the crib and put a clean mattress, a small quilt and a small pillow in the crib. Li Miaomiao had prepared everything she could think of.
Early the next morning, Old Man Pei came over and was surprised to see the changes in the room.
"Second son's wife, your craftsmanship is truly amazing. This room looks like a new house after you've renovated it. It's even more beautiful, cleaner, and tidier than other people's newly built houses."
Old man Pei couldn't say more words of praise. In short, he felt that the place was very comfortable and clean. If the fourth son's wife moved in, she would definitely not be dissatisfied.
Not to mention anything else, the second son's wife worked hard all night to prepare it, and the thought alone is not simple.
Pei Yifan naturally saw that Li Miaomiao had not slept all night, and his face showed disapproval.
