The next morning, Yu Gui set out before dawn to pick up Qingyue.
Li Qingyun specially cooked for one more person.
Yu Gui said that he had eaten before coming. How could Li Qingyun not know that? He was just embarrassed to eat. How could a person who set out before dawn have breakfast?
Today's breakfast was made by the three sisters together. It consists of corn grits porridge with pickles and chive dumplings. The portion is large and there is more than enough for you.
Originally, Li Qingyun wanted to fry an egg for each person, but Qingyue refused to let her. She said that with so many people eating, so many eggs would be wasted, so she asked them to keep some for themselves. In the end, Li Qingyun had no choice but to cook a boiled egg for Dabao and Erbao, which was both ridiculous and sad.
My second baby now wakes up at five or six every morning to drink milk, and then wakes up at nine to eat rice porridge. It is made from cooked rice and can be eaten directly after mixing it with warm water. It is quite convenient.
When I have time, I will boil an egg yolk and mash it and add it to the rice paste, or boil some vegetables and chop them up and add them to the rice paste, making egg yolk and vegetable rice paste. It has a unique taste and he loves it very much.
Li Qingyun plans to let him try meat paste in half a month. After more than two months here, the second baby has changed a lot, from being thin and weak to being chubby.
Now the baby is more than seven months old. She can crawl slowly on the kang and explore the world. Sometimes she calls "Mom". Maybe this word is easier to pronounce, which brings her many new experiences.
After the family had dinner, Li Qingyun took Qingyue to the old house and put their fingerprints on the two letters of severance.
Yu Gui prepared to take Qingyue home.
As usual, Li Qingyun filled the basket she brought her with food to take home.
A piece of pickled pork weighing more than three pounds, five pounds of rice, five pounds of white flour, and a few pears.
She hid them with the lid made from the basket, and then took out a large black cotton jacket that her original owner had made when she was pregnant with two children, and asked her to take it back and wear it.
Qingyue is only six months old now, and she still has three months to go before giving birth. By then it will be the coldest time of the year, and she will definitely not be able to wear her old cotton-padded jacket, and the Yu family may not be willing to make one for her.
Although the original owner had worn this cotton-padded jacket for several years, fortunately it was made when she was pregnant, so it was very warm and she wore it less often, so it was still in good condition and there was not a single patch on it.
Li Qingyun will definitely not wear it again, so it’s just right for her.
"Sister, why are you taking so much? They are all precious grains. How can I bear to take them? Please put them back and save them for the children."
Qingyue was very ashamed. Every time she came, she gave something worthless. This time, the pheasant was also hunted in the mountains for free. But her elder sister always gave her meat, rice and flour, which made her feel embarrassed.
Yu Gui also refused with a murmur.
"Eldest sister has enough at home, so we don't need it. Go back and take good care of yourself and the little nephew in your belly.
The mountains are high and the roads are long, it's not easy to come here. The next time we meet may be when you have given birth and are in confinement. At that time, the eldest and second sisters will come to see you and support you. We are all your family.
Don't be afraid. Based on my elder sister's experience of giving birth to two boys, your baby is definitely a boy. Take good care of it. Don't listen to your mother-in-law's gossip. Take good care of yourself. Eat more good food and take good care of your body. Only then will the child be strong.
Li Qingyun said as she stuffed the basket in her hand into Yu Gui's hand.
He then stuffed the big cotton-padded jacket into Qingyue's hands and held her there.
"This is the big cotton-padded jacket I made when I was pregnant with them. You don't need it anymore. If you take it home and wear it, you'll feel cold soon. Look, this piece of clothing on you can barely cover your belly." Li Qingyun was not mocking her sister, but was saying this to Yu Gui.
"Yu Gui, don't listen to your mother. Boy or girl, they are all your children and are equally good. If your family dares to let her suffer any grievances in giving birth, you know my temper.
"After the autumn harvest, there's nothing much to do. Qingyue's belly is so big now, so let her do some light work at home. Don't go out to earn work points. Which is more important, those work points or the child? You must be clear." Li Qingyun said meaningfully.
When Qingyue heard her sister's caring words and thought of the grievances she had suffered during this period, she clenched the cotton jacket in her hands and silently shed two lines of tears.
Yu Gui blushed and lowered his head after hearing her words. It was true that his mother had been talking nonsense a lot recently, and Qingyue had told him this more than once. He thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and his mother didn't do anything wrong, she was just a bit harsh, so he didn't say anything.
Since his aunt said so, he didn't dare to be vague and play peacemaker when he returned.
"I...I...understand, sister," Yu Gui replied stutteringly.
"Okay, you guys go back first. Qingyue, I'll tell you about your second sister when I get some news. And Yugui, don't forget to send us red eggs after Qingyue gives birth to announce the good news. There's no need to go to Lijia Village anymore. Let's just cut off all ties completely."
"Okay, big sister, second sister, brother-in-law, Dabao, we're leaving first."
After seeing the two off, Dabao asked Li Qingyun a question.
"Mom, why did my aunt give us a chicken, and you gave us meat and rice? Aren't we at a disadvantage?"
Can Li Qingyun say, "Do I have enough supplies in my space?" This little bit of stuff is not even a drop in the bucket.
Of course not.
She frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Dabao, sometimes we can’t measure everything by the value of things.
Mom asks you a question. If a person has only one dollar in his bag, he is willing to spend all of it on you. Another person has a hundred dollars in his bag, but he is only willing to spend one dollar on you.
It's the same dollar, who do you think treats you better?"
"It must be the first person. He only has one dollar, but he is willing to spend it all on me. He must be much better than the second person." Dabao answered without thinking.
"You're right. The same applies to this matter. You saw that your aunt only brought one chicken, but took away more.
But you didn't realize that this chicken might be something your aunt saved all she had and gave to us because she couldn't bear to eat it herself. Although the things your mother gave her are more valuable, they are nothing to our family. You can eat it every day.
Sometimes when getting along with relatives and friends, you should not care too much about gains and losses. As long as you are within your means and don't try to be pretentious, it's fine.
Also, under normal circumstances, my mother would just send back something that was slightly more valuable than the pheasant, but the situation is different now.
Your aunt is pregnant now and is a vulnerable group. We should all help protect her. She is too thin. Mom is worried that her body cannot bear the baby. Only by giving her more food can she eat.
There are many things in this world that cannot be measured entirely by value, including friendship.
However, when expressing our affection, we must also pay attention to the way and method, and distinguish between different situations and people. If the other party is always asking for more, then we should cut our losses in time. Give and take is the normal way for people to interact with each other."
