Liu Meiling took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped all the snot and tears from her face before carrying her into the house.
Shen Yunshu had heard the crying in the yard a long time ago. Seeing the little girl's red eyes, she felt so distressed.
"Sister Piao Niang!" Jiang Shuyao flapped her short legs, got down from her mother's arms, and ran to the bed to complain.
"...the bad uncles outside are bullying us..."
Bad uncle? It should be Gu Jiuyan. Shen Yunshu reached out and tapped her nose: "Auntie will help you beat him later, okay."
"Okay." Jiang Shuyao clenched her two little fists tightly.
That energetic little look simply melted the hearts of everyone present.
Grandma Gu took out the egg cake from home and gave it to Jiang Shuyao to eat. The little girl had her mouth full of crumbs. Shen Yunshu used a handkerchief to wipe her dirty hands and face clean one by one.
As it happened, little Laoliu, who was sleeping soundly in the crib, cried out loudly, and Grandma Gu carried the crying little Laoliu into Shen Yunshu's arms.
Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Shen were very observant and waited outside the door.
Chen Yunshu did not avoid Jiang Shuyao. He lifted up his clothes and started feeding the child. Jiang Shuyao stared at the little six in Chen Yunshu's arms.
“…He is my younger brother…”
"When my brother grows up, let him protect Yaoyao."
Jiang Shuyao shook her head: "...When I grow up...I will protect my brother..."
"Okay, I'll listen to Yaoyao. You will protect your brother in the future."
Jiang Shuyao let out a giggle.
After Shen Yunshu finished feeding the sixth child, the third child started crying again, so she hurried to feed the next child.
Jiang Shuyao stayed by the bed, looking at Little Six obediently. She stretched out her little hand and touched his face: "Brother's face... is so soft... I like my brother..."
Fearing that Jiang Shuyao might behave dishonestly, Liu Meiling warned, "Brother is still young, you can't touch him with your hands, do you hear me?"
If she can't touch with her hands, she can at least kiss him. When she was at home, she often saw her parents kissing her on their backs. Jiang Shuyao's big eyes rolled around.
The next second, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the soft little face on the bed.
Hehe, it smells nice.
Everyone was stunned. Even Shen Yunshu, who was feeding the baby, was stunned by the scene before her.
Her son, who had just been born a few days ago... was kissed...
Liu Meiling, too embarrassed to face anyone, quickly pulled Jiang Shuyao back into her arms and applied a gentle force to her little butt.
Jiang Shuyao pouted after her little butt was spanked, then burst into tears, and her tears as big as beans fell to the ground one by one.
Little Laoliu, who had just fallen asleep on the bed, seemed to be woken up and cried loudly. Mother Gu quickly hugged him in her arms and walked around the room.
Liu Meiling listened to the crying beside her ears and said with a stern face: "Jiang Shuyao, you scared your brother and made him cry. If you cry again, Mom will really not bring you here anymore."
Jiang Shuyao was too scared to cry.
Little Laoliu, who had been crying and couldn't be comforted no matter what, stopped crying last minute.
Mother Gu sighed: "It's really amazing."
"It means they are destined to be together." Shen Yunshu's casual words actually revealed the fate between the two.
This entanglement lasted a lifetime. The children of Chen Yunshu and Gu Jiuyan all continued the fine tradition of the Gu and Chen families of fearing and loving their daughters-in-law.
Especially Xiao Laoliu, who always listens to his wife.
Liu Meiling took Jiang Shuyao to sit at Gu's house for a while, then went home to cook, and Shen Yunshu took over to feed the baby.
Lunch was another old hen. Gu Jiuyan used the remaining chicken soup to cook noodles and blanched some green vegetables.
The greasy layer on the top of the chicken soup was skimmed clean with a spoon. In short, today was another particularly light meal, and Shen Yunshu was already used to this kind of meal.
If I don’t eat it for a day, I’ll miss it a little.
However, she should be the first woman in this era to eat a hen a day during the confinement period.
Speaking of this, Shen Yunshu suddenly remembered that when she was surfing the Internet in modern times, there was a woman who ate twelve pumpkins during her confinement period, and her mother-in-law cried and screamed like she was dying.
Those who don't know would think that I have eaten twelve pounds of gold. Let her see, the hatred for the period of confinement is irreconcilable. If you bully me today, I will be in trouble when you are old and paralyzed in bed.
Gu Jiuyan said, "Old Jiang's wife sent me two crucian carps. They won't last long in the hot weather. I'll make you some crucian carp and tofu soup tonight."
"Do you have sweet potatoes? I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"
Shen Yunshu suddenly felt greedy. She was not allowed to eat spicy food or cold food, and even the apples she ate were steamed in a pot. She wanted to change her taste.
"Yes, I'll bake it for you tomorrow." Gu Jiuyan agreed immediately.
The members of the nearby brigade should have some leftover sweet potatoes in their home cellars. He happened to be on vacation today, so he decided to go to the countryside later.
After dinner, Shen Yunshu fed the baby and fell asleep. Gu Jiuyan gave his family instructions and rode out on his bike.
He harvested half a bag of sweet potatoes and five pounds of beans and cucumbers from the nearby Qinghua Brigade. He met a team member whose family raised geese, and since his wife didn't eat eggs, he simply bought ten goose eggs.
Goose eggs are very big, equivalent to three chicken eggs, so of course the price has doubled.
However, Gu Jiuyan doesn't care about money. He just wants his wife at home to eat better.
Old Wang had old hens and other things, so Gu Jiuyan didn't spend extra money to buy them from the team members in the countryside.
Gu Jiuyan returned with a car full of things.
The sisters-in-law in the family compound saw the half bag of sweet potatoes on the back seat of Gu Jiuyan and started talking about it.
"Captain Gu's family is so poor that they have to eat sweet potatoes. It seems life is not easy with so many sons."
"That's impossible. Captain Gu married the daughter of Commander Shen. Commander Shen and his wife receive a monthly allowance. As parents, they will definitely find ways to support their daughter."
"That's hard to say. Six sons is a bottomless pit. Master Shen and his wife are old now, and they don't have any sons to support them. They always have to plan for the rest of their lives."
…………
Shen Yunshu's words "want to eat roasted sweet potatoes" accidentally caused a misunderstanding in the family compound.
Jiang Chen finished training and heard the news from his wife, and immediately came over with the money.
"Old Gu, is there no money at home?"
"Where did you hear these rumors?"
"It's almost spread around the compound that everyone in your family has started eating sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes were once a common food that everyone got sick from eating. Who eats them now? Only the poorest families eat them."
"They're talking nonsense."
But Jiang Chen obviously didn't believe him, with an expression that said I understand, he took out a few big unity notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Gu Jiuyan's hand.
"Take this money. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you after I pay you my allowance next month. Lao Gu, we are brothers. You don't have to suffer in front of me for your dignity."
