"Have you heard? It seems Qin Shumiao and Lin Guodong are getting married."
"Really? Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. You don't know, it's been all over the village."
"What's the point of this?"
"Lin Guodong was sick a while ago, and Qin Shumiao went to take care of him. After he recovered, they talked about getting married."
"Looks like Lin Guodong was moved."
"I think it's about right. After all, it's good enough for him. Who else could do that?"
"That's quite a devoted lover; this is a good outcome."
Regardless of what the villagers said, Shumiao and Lin Guodong were quite happy, after all, the two people who liked each other were getting married.
"Sapling, I have three older brothers and two younger sisters. They are all married, so we have quite a few people in my family."
“I’ll write to them in the spring to tell them I’m getting married. My family has given me a lot of money, so we’ll build a house then.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Guodong."
Qin Shumiao's feelings were quite complicated; she hadn't been able to react to everything that had suddenly happened.
"Don't worry about the saplings. Although we missed a lot of time at the beginning, we'll make up for it after we get married."
The sapling nodded and said to Lin Guodong, "I hope we can be good to each other from now on, until we grow old."
"Many things can be discussed and agreed upon. Speak your mind directly and don't keep things to yourself."
"Don't worry, sapling. At first, I really didn't understand it."
"Now I think we should live a good life together and be happy for the rest of our lives."
Qin Yecai had only heard about his sister's situation, and he didn't try to stop her.
After all, she knew that her younger sister had always liked Lin Guodong, but she was still worried, though she didn't say anything.
Lin Guodong also talked to the team leader about this matter, and they chose a site to build a house. They have already decided to start building the house in the spring and get married in the summer.
Jianjun and Tingting sat inside the house measuring the children's heights, preparing to make them some clothes.
After all, the child is older now. Fu Bao loves beauty and likes things with floral patterns.
"Mom, there are new shoes too. These shoes are too small for me. Qiuqiu is pouting."
"Alright, alright, not only will you make new shoes, but also new clothes and pants. You all need to study hard so I can check your work."
"Did you hear me? Nobody is allowed to cause trouble. Your brother doesn't even have enough time to study right now."
The two children nodded, since everyone in the family knew that the most important thing now was their older brothers' studies.
"Honey, do you think we should both take the exam?"
"We're both getting old, let's focus on making money. Hopefully, these kids can get good grades."
"And now we have to do a final review, so none of them are allowed to go out and play."
"Aside from farming and the autumn harvest, how much time is left for studying?"
The children nodded, knowing that their parents were doing this for their own good.
While the children were studying, Tingting started making clothes for them.
Each person had two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes made. Luckily, they had stockpiled enough of these things, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough.
Qiuqiu and Fubao didn't have much to do; after finishing their homework, they spent time with their mother.
Watching his mother making clothes, he stared longingly.
"Fu Bao and Qiu Qiu, once you finish making your new clothes, you're not allowed to go out and show them off, understand?"
"I know, Mom. You've told me so many times. You're not allowed to tell anyone what we eat or show off what we wear."
"I know everything, Mother, don't worry."
Look at the little adult Fu Bao. Tingting taps her nose and continues making clothes with a smile.
With lunchtime approaching, Tingting is now preparing to cook.
"Mom, I want to eat sweet and sour pork, it's delicious."
"Okay, okay, but brush your teeth after you finish eating. Look at your teeth, one of them is black."
"Okay, Mom, I'll definitely brush my teeth properly."
Tingting now cooks by the basin, making a large basin of each dish, otherwise it simply wouldn't be enough to eat.
I made a pot of pork ribs and green beans, spicy cod, a cold salad, sweet and sour pork, braised eggplant with pork belly, and a can of food. I also made two pots of steamed buns.
Fortunately, Tingting usually stores a lot of food in her space; otherwise, it would take several hours just to cook these dishes.
Although the food at this family's house is good, these children are all growing and developing, so they still look very thin.
"Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat."
Fortunately, four houses were built back then, otherwise there wouldn't be enough rooms for Chengcai, Youcai, and Qiuqiu.
Fu Bao had his own room, while Tie Dan, Zhu Zhu, and Shi Tou shared a room.
"Coming, coming!" The children rushed over as soon as they heard it was time to eat.
"Wow, so much delicious food! Go wash your hands!"
In no time, all the food on the table was eaten up, not a single bite was left.
Before going to bed at night, each of the children drinks a glass of milk. Tingting hopes that they will grow taller quickly and get some extra nutrition.
It wasn't until I became a parent that I realized how much effort it takes to raise a child.
