Chapter 4 Sweet Baby
When Lin Guangyi came out of the room, he saw his wife standing there dumbfounded: "What's wrong?"
“Broadly speaking…” Wang Qiu was about to cry.
"Stop crying and get to the point!"
“In a broad sense, my maternal family…” Then he recounted what he had just told Yin Qing.
Lin Guangyi almost slapped his wife: "We agreed that our second son would be adopted, how did it get involved with your family!" Even if we weren't adopting our second son, it shouldn't be an outsider's turn!
"I shouldn't have said that I was being rude back then," Wang Qiu said, regretting his words.
She was flattered by so many people at the time, and the child approached her. Everyone was talking at once, so she took the blame. What is she going to do now?
"Then you'll have to deal with it yourself!" Lin Guangyi didn't care what his wife thought; whoever took on this responsibility should handle it!
"How could I have married such an irresponsible person like you!" Wang Qiu said indignantly.
"Ha, being responsible isn't about cleaning up your messes. I'm going back to my room in this cold weather." I was thinking of going out for a walk, but now I'm not in the mood.
"Lin Guangyi!"
Unfortunately, Lin Guangyi's decision was final, leaving Wang Qiu so angry that she wanted to cry while standing in the main room. How could she have married such a scoundrel! But she absolutely dared not go back to her parents' home, as her family was nowhere near as well-off as her husband's. Wang Qiu knew perfectly well what kind of life she had lived before and after marriage.
But if she were to go back to her parents' home and tell them, she would feel ashamed. She would regret taking on this matter in the first place. Even if it were to be adopted, it shouldn't be someone else's child!
Yin Qing didn't care about Wang Qiu's complicated feelings. After returning to her room, she put the child on the bed, and Little Peach Blossom smiled at her again.
Seeing such a cheerful child, Yin Qing smiled along with him.
"Where's Daddy?" Little Peach looked around, as if she hadn't seen her father since she got home.
"Does Little Peach Blossom miss her father?" Yin Qing patted Little Peach Blossom's head.
Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically: "I want to!"
Yin Qing smiled and said, "Dad went to find something delicious for Little Peach Blossom."
"It's delicious!" Little Peach Blossom looked forward to the sweet sponge cake.
"Yes, from now on, all the good food in our family will be given to Little Peach Blossom."
The food at home is for adults; children need more refined food, so as soon as he entered the house, Lin Guangsheng went to the village to exchange for fine grains. Of course, he also exchanged for some chicken cakes, eggs, or other similar items.
The couple cherished their daughter, Xiao Taohua, from the bottom of their hearts. If there were no problems, she would be their only child in this lifetime.
As for what Xiaotaohua had gone through before, she'd forgotten anyway. All they wanted was for her to be happy from now on. Of course, if any foolish people showed up later, well, sorry, they weren't so easily bullied. Having held leadership positions for so many years, the couple weren't without their own skills.
Little Peach Blossom shook her head: "Mom eats too, and Dad eats too."
"Okay, our whole family will eat." Such a young and filial daughter is hard to find even with a lantern, Yin Qing couldn't help but hug her.
Little Peach Blossom laughed again.
"Is Little Peach Blossom feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I don't have a mother."
"If you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell Mom."
"Yes!" Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically.
"Our little Peach Blossom is such a good girl." Yin Qing patted the child's head, then spread out the clothes that Wang Qiu had brought earlier: "Which outfit would Little Peach Blossom like to wear today?"
"Wear it?" Little Peach looked at the clothes on the bed curiously. Was she supposed to wear it herself?
In Xiao Taohua's memory, clothes were always on her body.
What does "wear" mean? Does it mean she has to choose one?
Yin Qing assumed that Xiao Taohua didn't know how to dress herself, so she didn't say much and just smiled as she looked at Xiao Taohua.
Even though she didn't understand, Little Peach Blossom wasn't nervous. Seeing her mother looking at her, she pointed to a bright red dress and said it looked nice.
"Alright, our little Peach Blossom will be all the rage today." Yin Qing brought over the bright red clothes, along with the inner garments, and dressed the little Peach Blossom in them one by one.
So this is what wearing clothes is like?
Little Peach Blossom watched her mother's actions with great curiosity and a very serious look in her eyes.
Once all the clothes were on, our little peach blossom instantly transformed into a little doll from a New Year's painting. Although she was still a bit thin, we believe she will recover in time.
Yin Qing looked at her daughter with satisfaction. She was so beautiful since she was little, and she would probably be even more beautiful when she grew up.
"Our little peach blossom is truly a fairy from heaven."
Little Peach Blossom nodded firmly: "Little fairy."
She'll become a fairy once she survives her tribulation, so her mother's words are perfectly correct.
The door was pushed open from the outside: "Who's the fairy?"
At that familiar voice, Little Peach Blossom's eyes lit up instantly: "Daddy!"
"Hey, where did this fairy come from? It's our Little Peach Blossom." Lin Guangsheng pushed open the door and smiled when he saw Little Peach Blossom's attire.
"Daddy, Daddy..."
"Dad's here."
Yin Qing said with a smile, "I've been looking for my dad since earlier, and now I've finally found him."
Lin Guangsheng came over and hugged Xiao Taohua tightly: "Our Xiao Taohua is so good."
Little Peach Blossom nodded: "Good girl, Little Peach Blossom has always been good."
The couple exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time. This child was truly adorable.
"Have they all been changed?" Yin Qing asked her husband.
"The Lunar New Year is coming in a few days. Almost everyone has some high-quality grains. I exchanged some with each family, which is enough for Xiao Taohua. Oh, and I also put some eggs and sugar in the kitchen and locked the cabinet doors."
Yin Qing nodded, feeling it still wasn't enough: "Let's go to town again in a couple of days."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Little Peach Blossom listened quietly to the sound of her parents. It was so wonderful to have a mom and dad! She loved them so much! With her eyes crinkled in happiness, Little Peach Blossom giggled again.
The couple couldn't help but laugh along with the little peach blossom that had started smiling again.
Like I said before, this child really loves to laugh.
But they like it.
Looking at Xiaotaohua's smile, they felt as if the whole world had brightened up, and they felt even more motivated.
They'll be there to support their daughter in the future!
"Our little peach blossom is such a sweet baby." Yin Qing couldn't help but kiss her daughter.
"Sweet!" It was so sweet! Little Peach Blossom nodded emphatically. She'd always heard Grandpa Ginseng say that their peach blossom wine was sweet, but she'd never tasted it before—what a pity! No, she'd never drink alcohol again; alcohol was bad!
The family of three gathered together warmly, without any awkwardness, only tender affection, as if they were born to be a family.
Grandpa Tiandao's face was full of... well, he didn't have a face. He was just in a good mood watching his granddaughter laugh so happily, and then he turned around and cleaned up the mess for his useless son. If any family dared to abandon their granddaughter, they would have to bear the wrath of Tiandao!
Unbeknownst to Little Peach Blossom, some people have been so unlucky that they will never walk in front of her again in this lifetime.
Of course, as a benefactor of giving birth to and raising him, Heavenly Dao, the great-grandfather, did not go too far; every drink and every bite is a consequence of cause and effect.
