Chapter 7 is not very pleasant.
Yin Qing and his wife came out at this time.
When the eldest son and daughter-in-law came out, the old lady pursed her lips, but the old man didn't react much and continued to happily take things out of the basket. The children didn't pay any attention either.
Adults generally don't talk to children about their own affairs.
In this day and age, what do children matter? If they can't support the family, they have no say in the household.
The old lady glanced at the room, knowing that the girl her eldest son had brought back must be inside: "So, it's decided that it's her?"
She'd heard so many stories about her eldest son adopting a daughter and quickly registering her in the household registration system that she was tired of hearing them about. After all, there were quite a few people eyeing her eldest son's family, all wanting to adopt the child so that the child could have a better life.
Now that some random girl has taken over, no one will be happy. Sure enough, the news quickly reached the old lady's ears.
The old lady is a very shrewd person. All these years of putting on a show haven't been for nothing. She only says, "As long as my eldest son and daughter-in-law are happy, my husband and I won't interfere in their affairs." Anyway, whatever others say, they just say that their children and grandchildren have their own blessings, but only the old couple know what they really think.
They were furious!
But they couldn't do anything about their eldest son!
If they interfered too much, they were afraid that their eldest son would completely break ties with them, and they would end up losing more than they gained.
When the old lady asked, Lin Guangsheng nodded, "Her name is Lin Xiaotao, nickname Xiaotaohua, she's three years old, and will be four after the New Year." This age is approximate, but it should be close to the truth. As for her birthday, the couple unanimously decided it would be the day they found Xiaotaohua.
"Oh, that's quite nice," the old lady replied expressionlessly.
"It's pretty good."
Lin Guangsheng didn't care what others thought, but he was speechless when faced with the mother and son.
"Mom, Guang Sheng and I will go back to our room if there's nothing else. Xiao Tao Hua is still waiting." These were the words of Yin Qing. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that they were coming back for the New Year, they really wouldn't be used to living here. Fortunately, they will move back to the house allocated to them by the factory after the New Year.
"Oh, then let's go back."
Yin Qing and his wife nodded, then turned and went back into the house.
The old lady frowned as she watched the couple go back into the house, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Ha, they really think they're so capable. If it weren't for..." She didn't finish her sentence, but after saying the first few sentences, she couldn't help but glance around. Luckily, no one was around.
The old man took everything out of his carrying pole, and the children were sharing food, drinks, and toys. When his wife returned, he asked, "Are you sure?"
The old lady said irritably, "What do you think?"
The old man sighed.
Seeing his reaction, the old woman said rather bluntly, "Oh, so your plan is falling through. You're not happy now, are you?"
The old man didn't hold back with his wife either, and immediately retorted, "You're the same."
"Ha, our eldest son is really becoming more and more successful." The old lady couldn't help but mock.
"What? You want to make a scene in front of outsiders?"
Good heavens, one sentence shut the old lady up, but the more she did that, the more aggrieved she felt: "Really, how could I have given birth to such a troublesome child!"
“You may not want it, but others certainly do.” The old man glanced at his wife.
When the couple's elders were still alive, they had suggested that the couple adopt their child, but they refused, so the adoption didn't happen. Later, their eldest son became successful, and that's when they were able to support the whole family.
If she were to lose her eldest son, the old lady would be the one who regrets it the most.
"Can't you speak more politely? You sound like you've swallowed a bomb!"
"Who exactly is being so insatiable and grumbling like that?"
"Lin Datou, who are you talking about!"
"Wang Yingmei, whoever admits it is who we're talking about!"
"You old geezer, you're not getting to eat the lunch I made today!"
"Fine, I won't eat then. I'll go around telling everyone that I married a useless wife who's always riding roughshod over me and won't even give me food!"
"You're not allowed to go!"
"Anyway, you're not giving me food."
"Eat! Eat yourself to death!"
The old man lifted his foot to walk out.
"Come back! I'll give you some food, you can have some!"
"If you had said that earlier, it would have been settled."
The old lady was furious. How could she have married such a scoundrel back then!
Not wanting to see the other person, the old lady went into the kitchen.
Never mind, she should just cook.
The children were completely unaware of their grandparents' argument; they were quite content as long as they had food, drink, and things to do.
Having satisfied their curiosity, the children discussed it and then took their favorite things with them when they went out.
What's the point of having something good?
Of course, they should go to the village and show off properly, making all the children envious of them!
Inside the house, Little Peach Blossom finally finished eating a sweet potato and, hearing the cheers of the children in the yard, became eager to try it herself.
But considering that she was already three hundred years old and shouldn't be playing around with children, she suppressed her urge to join in.
Yin Qing noticed that her daughter kept looking outside. Although she couldn't see anything, she could still hear the noises outside from inside the house.
"Little Peach Blossom wants to go out and play?"
Little Peach Blossom turned around abruptly: "Is it okay?"
"That's possible, but what if Little Peach Blossom doesn't recognize her older brothers and sisters yet?"
"Then, should we go out and have fun after we get to know each other?"
"Okay, let's go out and have fun after we get to know each other."
"Mom is so good." Of course, she wouldn't forget Lin Guangsheng next to her: "Dad is so good too."
Yin Qing smiled and poked her daughter's forehead: "You little rascal."
Yin Qing and his wife certainly wouldn't interfere with their children's playful antics.
The adults are a bit unreliable, but the children in the family are all good.
So at lunchtime, Yin Qing introduced Xiao Taohua to the four children.
The eldest child is 6 years old this year. Although they don't understand why they suddenly have a younger sister, this sister is from their uncle's family. They love their uncle and aunt the most, so they will definitely love their uncle's sister even more.
Regardless of how many younger sisters there were, and without asking why, the four children readily accepted the task of taking care of their younger sisters and each decided to protect them. Even Lin Yulu, who was the same age as Xiao Taohua, secretly decided to protect her younger sister.
After a good lunch, under Xiao Taohua's expectant gaze, the group of children set off with great spirits. Xiao Taohua even reassured Yin Qing and his wife that she would bring them back anything fun she found, which brought tears to the couple's eyes again. Even the adults who weren't particularly interested couldn't help but feel a little envious. After all, who doesn't like being constantly thought of?
They seemed to understand why Lin Guangsheng and his wife cared so much about their child.
Of course, while they understood the situation, they were still not entirely happy about it in terms of their own interests.
If you ask what's good about Xiaolin Village, the best thing is that every household in the village can have enough to eat, which is very rare and enviable in the current environment.
