“Children at this age rely on their mothers the most!” Li Xiaoxiao came over with Xiangxiang in her arms, visited Shen Qiaoyue, and touched Xiao Nian behind Shen Qiaoyue.
She said with heartache, "Xiao Nian cried so much during the time you were hospitalized, she even called for her mother in her sleep!"
Hearing how much the child missed her, Shen Qiaoyue turned around and hugged Xiao Nian in her arms.
He patted Xiao Nian's head and kissed him tenderly.
"Xiao Nian, Mom is so sorry!" Shen Qiaoyue had always longed for her parents to be by her side since she was a child. Now her child is just like her, without his parents to take care of him. He must be very scared.
Xiao Nian was enveloped in her mother's love, and felt warm all over.
"Mom...don't leave!" Xiao Nian wanted to ask her mother if she wasn't leaving.
"Mommy will stay with Xiaonian forever, she won't leave." Shen Qiaoyue had been looking at these two lovely and energetic children for the past two days, and she couldn't bear to leave them.
"Mother!"
"aunt!"
After playing with Yuanyuan until they were tired, Da Nian was carried inside and nestled against Shen Qiaoyue.
Shen Qiaoyue opened her arms and hugged the three children.
"Good children!" Shen Qiaoyue looked down at the children, who were having a great time playing.
"Sister-in-law, have you eaten yet? Why don't you stay for lunch?" Chu Wanfang brought out the lunch she was going to eat and saw Li Xiaoxiao coming over, so she thought of inviting her to stay for lunch.
Li Xiaoxiao watched her sister-in-law working so fast that it was almost time to eat. Liu Xinlan was still cooking at their house.
"No need. Xinlan has been learning to cook recently, so she asked me to bring the child over to play with the older siblings. I just came to check on things." Li Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Luoshui, who was still cooking in the kitchen, and estimated the time before heading back.
"Xinlan has changed a lot since she had the baby. I heard that the hospital is planning to rehire her. Are you going to take care of the baby, or do you have any other plans?" Chu Wanfang was actually quite envious. Being able to work means not having to stay home with the baby. What a wonderful life!
“It’s not clear yet. Yuan Yi and I are thinking of taking the child to Beijing to live for a while. Qianli and Xinlan said they want to think about it.” Li Xiaoxiao looked down at Xiangxiang and said with a face full of reluctance, “I have taken care of Xiangxiang since she was born. I don’t want to leave her. Yuan Yi’s stomach has not been very good recently. He is old and has many illnesses. He can’t do without someone to take care of him.”
“Second Uncle has made it through all these years. How could he not manage on his own? He must just miss Second Aunt.” Shen Qiaoyue looked at how good Second Aunt was to Second Uncle. “Second Uncle can cook for himself. Don’t worry about him.”
"Hey!" a voice came from outside the door. "You little brat, I watched you grow up, how can you be so ungrateful?"
Shen Qiaoyue looked outside and stood up in surprise.
"Second Uncle." Shen Qiaoyue excitedly let go of the three children and ran to Shen Yuanyi like a child, wanting a hug.
"Second Uncle, why are you here?" Shen Qiaoyue's eyes reddened.
Shen Yuanyi held Shen Qiaoyue in his arms, looked down at her face, and pinched it, saying, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you talked about your second uncle like that. Your second aunt is still my wife, it's normal for me to miss her!"
"I didn't say anything, Uncle must have misheard." Shen Qiaoyue said without batting an eye.
Shen Yuanyi looked at Shen Qiaoyue and said helplessly, "You don't resemble your sister at all. After your sister married your brother-in-law, she managed the household so well, raising two children on her own. You, on the other hand, are still a child even after getting married, and you still need your whole family to protect you!"
Although Shen Yuanyi complained, he still cared about Shen Qiaoyue a lot, and looked her up and down.
"Does it still hurt? Are you feeling unwell after being discharged from the hospital? Why don't you go live in Beijing for a while so that your second uncle can take care of you?" Shen Yuanyi asked Shen Qiaoyue with concern about her life and injuries.
Shen Qiaoyue looked herself up and down and said, "I'm fine. I'll be wherever Lu Chen is. I'm married to him, we have a child, and we'll definitely stay together forever."
Although she has lost her memory, Shen Qiaoyue will not leave Lu Chen; her child needs the companionship of family.
"Have you really lost your memory? Look at you, you're still thinking about that kid Lu Chen." Shen Yuanyi complained to Shen Qiaoyue helplessly.
Three children walked out of the yard, trembling.
They all looked up at the person holding their mother with great curiosity.
Chu Wanfang and Qian Luoshui came out of the kitchen when they heard the noise.
"Yuan Yi is here?" Chu Wanfang was surprised to see Shen Yuan Yi.
"Sister-in-law, Luoshui is busy!"
As Shen Yuanyi put down his things, he squatted down and stroked the three little ones.
"My little darling, these three children look more and more alike!" Standing up, he hugged Xiangxiang in Li Xiaoxiao's arms, staring at Li Xiaoxiao with love, his smile never fading.
Chu Wanfang came out and said, "Come in quickly, sister-in-law. Go and call Xinlan and Yaoyao over. We'll have dinner together at home later."
"Come on in, it's cold outside!" Chu Wanfang beckoned Shen Yuanyi to come in, while Li Xiaoxiao went back to find Liu Xinlan.
Qian Luoshui and Chu Wanfang had no choice but to bring out another pot and cook another pot of rice.
This family has prepared a lot of rice.
Liu Xinlan brought over all the meat and vegetables that her family had eaten for lunch. Jiang Jinyao had been eating at Shen Qiaoyue's house before, and she received a monthly allowance.
Since Shen Qiaoyue had this incident, and An Lude had also returned, she started cooking for herself.
As luck would have it, Jiang Jinyao went to the village ahead and brought back some wild game, thinking that Shen Qiaoyue and the children needed nutrition.
"Auntie, sister-in-law, Qiaoyue, look what I brought you!" Jiang Jinyao was surprised to see Shen Yuanyi as she walked in. "Uncle Shen, what brings you here?"
Jiang Jinyao carried two rabbits in her hands, put them aside, and came in to look at Shen Yuanyi.
"Yaoyao, how have you been lately?" Shen Yuanyi looked at Jiang Jinyao. Since An Lude came back, she has become plump and healthy.
Jiang Jinyao smiled and said, "I've been doing well lately. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
“I wanted to give you a surprise. I came to see my granddaughter. I heard that Qiaoyue woke up, but your second uncle didn’t have time to come, so he asked me to come and see her.” Shen Yuanyi held Xiangxiang while responding to Jing Jinyao’s words.
"Uncle Shen, you've come at just the right time! I brought back two rabbits. You're in for a treat today!" Jiang Jinyao said to Shen Yuanyi.
Originally, the plan was that since Shen Qiaoyue's family was large, and she only had two children, An Lude and Liu Xinlan's family was also small, the eldest child would be split in half with Liu Xinlan's family. However, it turned out that since Uncle Shen was coming, the whole family would definitely sit down and eat together.
"It seems Yao Yao can sense my presence," Shen Yuanyi teased. "It's been many years since I've had rabbit meat!"
In the past, when we were on the march and fighting, if we had no food, we would catch wild game from the mountains to eat.
"I'll take it to Auntie to help her cook. You can chat first!" Jiang Jinyao went to the kitchen to help.
Xiao Nian, Da Nian, and Yuan Yuan all looked up at the old man.
The three children all had the same facial expressions and movements.
