"You don't have to be so honest, just try your best."
Although Liu's mother said so, she didn't want her daughter to be too honest.
Liu Lin: ...
"Mom, you don't have to worry about these things. I'm a mother now, and I can handle things like this myself."
"Even if you are the child's mother, you are still my daughter, and you are still impatient. I won't talk to your heartless daughter. I'm going to see my granddaughter."
As Liu's mother said this, she held the chubby little white kid in her arms with great care. She looked very blessed.
"This child is really well raised."
"Of course not. I have plenty of milk. Guoqiang's second sister-in-law also prepared several cans of milk powder for me, both for adults and children. It's good for our health, so how can it be bad? Plus, my mother-in-law makes chicken soup and fish for me every now and then. I feel like I've gained weight now."
At a time like this, he could still say such words. Even Liu's mother felt that it was a bit too much.
"Just say this to me. You can't even say this to your sister-in-law, let alone outsiders. Otherwise, you'll bring disaster upon your parents-in-law. You have to know that the drought this year is so severe that many people outside are starving to death, not to mention having enough to eat."
When Liu's father said that, Liu's mother also realized that he was talking about others, not her own mother. She looked very haggard during those days, with fewer white hairs and thinner body.
After hearing Liu Lin's words, the knot in the hearts of Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei was suddenly untied.
Liu's mother finally took out the milk again, but this time she left out one can.
But after hearing what Shi Juan said, Liu's mother no longer insisted. Of course you want to know what the situation is like at your mother's house. When life gets bad in the future, your family is still concerned about the situation like this year. It is estimated that there will be a mess outside the family as well.
"Mom, has it really come to this?"
"Okay, take those two cans of milk powder back with you. The children will use them, and leave them to their parents. You will supervise them to drink a cup every morning and evening."
After hearing what Liu Erge said, Shi Juan felt happy.
Mother Liu nodded and said, "They can take the two cans of milk powder back later. Leave one can for the children and use the other can to make a cup of milk for Mom and Dad every day. If they keep doing this, their health will collapse sooner or later."
After drinking it, my mouth was filled with sweetness, and the hunger I had felt during those days was relieved.
Liu Lin really didn't think it was a big deal. During the confinement period, you had nothing to eat or drink, and you were short of everything. Anything you ate or drank was abnormal, even worse than before.
"Guoruo Qisao brought it specially for him. What will happen if you take it back? Besides, there are so few people outside the house and he knows about it. You and his father can still eat it all by yourself. But if he keeps it for himself and makes himself and the child bad, you and his father will be unhappy."
"Okay, we're all family, so we should speak our own language. My dear in-laws, you really do need the things he prepared, but we were just being polite to him. You should remember his kindness. You, Linlin, are really blind to choose such a bad family."
"That's what I said, but it's true, Dad. If he didn't take good care of his health, you would be worried too."
"He is worried. You used to keep an eye on his father. Don't take it easy. He just came out of confinement after childbirth. He can take it easy." Father Liu said hurriedly.
That time when the Liu family went back, Old Lady Pei, as usual, gathered a lot of things for us, including vegetables, water, and other grains and dried vegetables.
"Dad, how come he is so thin? He should take care of himself instead of just thinking about other people outside the family."
"You can still lie to him? He looks like he is now. He needs to go out more often. If someone sees him, he will be noticed. Everyone else looks pale and skinny, but he and the child are plump and fair. It will be obvious from the outside, and he will be remembered by others."
Shi Juan originally wanted to drink it, but she said, "Why should a little woman like me drink that? There's nothing bad to eat, so leave it for my son and grandson." But my son insisted, so I drank it.
When Liu's mother saw her father like that, she felt distressed. "Okay, you know your father's character very well. He does everything for his sons and grandsons."
"Seventh Brother, they're listening to you. You see, Mom and Dad are really worried, but that man who has become a monk doesn't care about us anymore, so we can only ask them to take care of Mom and Dad less. After all, it's a token of your kindness, so they shouldn't refuse anymore."
"In-laws, don't refuse them. If it were in normal times, they would be bad things, but in this year's harvest, those are things that can keep people alive. Even if they are doing it for themselves, they don't have any children outside the family."
In the current situation, Liu Lin wants others outside the family to eat less, so I am frugal and only eat this little each time.
Thinking of this, Liu's mother simply made two cups of tea in a teacup, one for Liu's father and the other for Shi Juan who had just returned. The rest of the Liu family was still talking to Pei Guoruo inside.
Liu Lin was concentrating on her confinement after childbirth. She knew a little about the situation outside, but neither Old Man Pei nor Old Lady Pei nor Pei Guoqiang would tell her specifically about those bad things, so she didn't know that the situation outside had become so serious.
"Mom, you are so filial. Guo Ruo, you are not willing to eat too little of the milk powder my seventh sister-in-law gave you. There are still eight cans left. When he goes back later, take one can back and drink it with Dad. Look at him, he has lost so much weight in such a short time."
Mother Liu nodded, and was thinking about saying something, thinking about telling the younger brother and the seventh brother later that the brothers are all filial and asked us to pay more attention.
A can of milk powder may look small, but if you divide it up, it actually varies.
"You're not doing well," he said, worriedly. "You're not looking thinner, you're not doing well. Traditional Chinese medicine says that being thin in old age is priceless. Being thin is bad, and being thin makes you weaker."
Shi Juan also knew that Li Miaomiao brought it back specially for you to nourish your body and supplement your nutrition. It would be bad to let your parents take it back, but she just felt sorry for her parents.
"That's what you did wrong, big sister. He wanted it, and you would have paid attention to it before. Mom and Dad have indeed lost a lot of weight. Before going back, you used to stare at them until they finished eating." Brother Liu was indeed negligent. After hearing his sister's reminder, he immediately said
"Linlin, you all know what he said. When eating, he specially divided a portion for each person, but mom and dad always came down secretly and gave a small portion to the children." Brother Liu's tone was also helpless. Yes, I do feel sorry for my parents.
Did you hear that? My father-in-law has personally denied it. Our Pei family is a bad family. Guo Ruo can finally listen to his chest and be a man in the Liu family. From now on, he will have to rely on the Yue family to make a living outside the city.
Brother Liu and Shi Juanyan just wanted to say that if they were willing to accept it, they would say, "We came here today to visit our nephew, not to ask for money."
"But it's not true. We are one family, but we have different opinions. Now is an easy time for small families. You are in the countryside, enjoying the natural advantages. Now is the time for you to contribute. Don't be polite."
