"Dad! Waaah! Please come home with us!"
The little girl cried her eyes out, clinging to Lin Chaodong's sleeve and refusing to let go, stubbornly refusing to get into the carriage.
"Little girl, be good, get in the car quickly, don't waste time. When you get back, listen to your grandma and your two older brothers, and take good care of your little brother. I have to wait for your mother here. Your mother doesn't know you've come, and she doesn't know your little brother went back with you. If she comes out and I'm not here, she won't be able to find her way home, okay? Be good!"
Lin Chaodong couldn't help but tear up. He gently coaxed her a few times, but when he saw that Xiaoman'er wouldn't listen, he hardened his heart, pulled out his sleeve forcefully, and watched as Lin Chaobei carried the wailing, kicking, and pulling Xiaoman'er around the waist to the carriage. Lin Chaodong felt heartbroken.
Even when they left, he had never seen Xiaoman cry so desperately.
"Going now, brother! Come home often when you have time! Take care of yourself!"
"Brother, take care!"
"Grandpa, we're leaving now. Please take good care of yourself!"
The horse trotted along with its brisk steps, pulling a cart full of its closest loved ones away.
He couldn't help but take a few steps after him, but then stopped.
Forget it, what's the point of following? All I can do is watch the carriage get further and further away until it disappears from sight.
"Father! Father! Father!"
"Waaaaah!"
The cries of Xiaoman'er and Dazhuang, who was frightened, came from inside the carriage. Lin Chaodong rubbed his eyes, and after the carriage turned the corner, he stood there for a long time before slowly turning around as if he were rusty and walking towards the rented courtyard.
From now on, he will be all alone in this "home".
On the way back, because we had a six-month-old baby with us, we couldn't run as fast as we did on the way out; we had to walk steadily.
If Dazhuang cries, the carriage must be stopped to change his diaper; if Dazhuang cries, rice porridge must be cooked and fed to him; if Dazhuang cries, he must be held and soothed to sleep; if Dazhuang cries, then…
What should have been a two-day journey home has suddenly been extended to five days.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Lin Chaobei jumped off the carriage with Dazhuang in his arms and ran home. It was the first time he had been away from home for so long, and he missed his mother so much!
Dazhuang was being bounced around in Lin Chaobei's arms. He probably thought Lin Chaobei was teasing him, and he laughed heartily, like a hen laying an egg.
"Oh? Why did you bring Dazhuang back? Your older brother and sister-in-law are back too? Where's Xiaoman'er?"
Yue Jiuyue came out to greet them, but unlike other grandmothers who would immediately and warmly take the chubby grandson, she covered her nose and took a few steps back subtly because of the unpleasant smell before asking.
"Mother, my sister-in-law has gone to be a wet nurse for a rich family's daughter. My brother said he has to wait for her there so that she won't be unable to find her or her home when she comes out."
Dazhuang will stay at home. My older brother, a grown man, can't earn money taking care of the kids, and if he can't earn money, he can't support both him and Dazhuang. Xiaoman will definitely come back with us, even Daniu came back with her! They're all behind us!
As Lin Chaobei spoke, he tried to shove Dazhuang into Yue Jiuyue's arms, because he needed to pee!
Unexpectedly, Yue Jiuyue took several steps back!
What's going on? Doesn't his mother care about her eldest grandson?
