"Okay, okay. No one forced me. I just wanted to do it myself, okay? Am I not feeling sorry for my elder sister?" Cheng Zhenyu snorted.
"Big sister is someone who wants to take on all the hardships. She insisted on going to the countryside despite the hardships. Okay, her husband is gone. That's fine, men are unreliable anyway... Raising a child is not easy, and she wants to help others raise a child! Isn't that stupid?"
Zhao Jiawang touched his nose. He suspected his wife was hinting at him.
Speaking of the baby, Zhao Fangrui sighed. She knew her daughter had no ill intentions, but her words were harsh. Why couldn't she learn to be more tactful?
"Pearl, what's going on with your little kid? You didn't explain it clearly in your last letter. It was so vague that I really have no idea..."
They came this time, firstly to see their daughter and grandchildren, and secondly to take care of the baby. Initially, they wanted to come on a warmer day, but then her second daughter said she was helping to raise a baby, which kept them awake all night, so they quickly found an opportunity to come.
"Mom, this matter is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it when we get home." Cheng Zhenzhu took the things from Cheng Zhenbao's hand and said, "Let me carry this."
"No need..." Cheng Zhenbao wanted to say it was very heavy, and then he saw his second sister picking up the thing like a chicken or a duck.
Has his sister gained strength again? They say women who take care of children have more strength, and it seems to be true...
"How can you free up your time to do other things when you are taking care of a little one? Did you leave the child at someone else's house when you came out today?" Zhao Fangrui said a few words after getting on the boat, and felt a little nauseous again.
"Liu Tiao is very well behaved. Yitiao takes Liu Tiao out to play and doesn't cause any trouble..." Cheng Zhenzhu quickly helped his mother apply some medicine.
Her mother looked more miserable than the three men on board.
"They are well-behaved, sensible, and caring." Zhao Fangrui said, and no more.
"Wife, I find that living by the sea is not bad. The wind is so comfortable!" Cheng Zhenbao got on the boat, picked up Xiaohu from Wang Xiaomei, and asked her to relax her arms.
"That's right." Wang Xiaomei exhaled a long breath. She'd been feeling stuffy in the car, but now, exposed to the free sea breeze, she felt much clearer.
Cheng Fugui stood up and stared into the sea, wondering when a fish would appear so he could catch it and have an extra meal for lunch...
"Ni, isn't it fun at your aunt's house?" Zhao Jiawang rarely took a boat ride, so he held his daughters and sat on the bed, watching the sea. Sanni was overbearing and directly pushed her two sisters aside.
Cheng Zhenyu saw this but didn't bother to say anything. She just put her two daughters aside and continued to eat her big white bread. There was only one left, and since no one was eating it, she took it and finished it off...
"Okay, we're here, let's get off the boat."
Forty minutes later, the boat docked. Cheng Zhenzhu put her belongings down and helped her mother.
Zhao Fangrui, who always maintained a calm demeanor, was nearly vomiting after being rocked by the fishing boat. Luckily, her second daughter was considerate and would occasionally apply some medicine to her...
After getting off the boat, Cheng Zhenzhu carried her things and led her parents, elder sister, brother-in-law, younger brother, sister-in-law, and four children, and instantly formed a spectacular team.
"Oh, is that Aiqing's family?" It was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the people on the island had already gone out to work. Suddenly, seeing a large group of unfamiliar faces who looked like refugees, one couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Looks like it. The crowd behind her is probably his family, isn't it?"
"Oh my goodness, people of the same family are alike! Look at the way they're moving things, it's for sure! No wonder the Aiqing family wants to build a new house, it turns out that the old house can't hold anything..."
The twelve-pound quilt and the shiny iron pot were so attractive that I couldn't take my eyes off them.
"I was scared when Aiqing's family came back last time with a big snakeskin bag. Their family just moved! They are really wealthy. Why are the Aiqing family so desperate that they come to our poor place..."
"They have their own thoughts and consciousness. Do you think they are the same as you?"
"With the support of our maternal family, the Aiqing family can now stand firm..." As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes vaguely glanced at the two brothers Peng Aishan and Peng Aihai.
Peng Aishan and the other man said nothing. Their father silently blew out a smoke ring...
Cheng Zhenzhu and her family gradually approached the crowd, and without deliberately avoiding them, they greeted their uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Cheng Zhenyu took a look and forced a smile.
"Aiqing family, your family is coming here to celebrate the New Year this year?" The people on the island couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhenzhu's family.
You know what? These city people look different! They dress very elegantly and hold their heads high. Arrogant!
"Yes. We haven't celebrated the New Year together for several years. It's just that we have time..." Cheng Zhenzhu gave a brief introduction.
"A family should be together..." A group of people nodded.
"Happy New Year, old man!" Cheng Fugui, a naturally outgoing man, greeted people with a loud and enthusiastic voice. If he hadn't been carrying so many things, he would have definitely shaken hands.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year..." When the people on the island saw that the whole family was dressed elegantly and Cheng Fugui spoke in style, they immediately respected him and took out their precious pipes to offer them a smoke.
As the man approached, they could smell the aroma of meat. Everyone's eyes fixed on the snakeskin bag in Zhao Jiawang's hand...
Seeing people stop, Peng Aiqing's father and his brothers walked away silently.
"Thank you, thank you." Cheng Fugui put down his things, took the dry tobacco, and handed out a Peony cigarette to each person. "Brothers, try my cigarettes too. My daughter and son have always been dull, and my son-in-law, ah...
Anyway, I appreciate your care. It's not convenient for a woman like her to take care of a child. If it weren't for your help, she wouldn't be able to do many things. "
This made people feel a little guilty. The Aiqing family was famous on the island for their ruthless ability to split stones. But isn't it said that city people are good at talking? It sounded comfortable. "It's not that I'm taking care of anything. Your daughter is a capable one..."
"What can she do?" Cheng Fugui flatly denied.
Why don't you look at the lightness with which your daughter carries things behind you? Everyone wants to say.
