After resolving Yu's issue, Jiang Xueying finally felt relieved, but she still felt a little guilty towards Xiao Taozi.
However, one can also think about it in a positive way. After all, a woman like Yu is as good as nothing, and Xiao Taozi will have a better life with Chen Qiang and his sister.
She was in a good mood today, and the two little ones also had a rare few days of rest. Jiang Xueying thought for a while and then took Xiao Taozi and the two children for a walk.
I have been in the village for such a long time, but to be honest, I haven't been to many places. Now I finally have some free time in my busy schedule and I want to get familiar with the places in the village that I have not been to. Maybe I will make some special discoveries.
Walking along the way, I unknowingly arrived at the river.
It is almost noon now and there are not many people by the river. Some people are sitting in groups of three or four under the shady trees by the river to enjoy the cool air, and a few children are fishing and catching shrimps by the river.
A child in the river saw Jiang Xueying and the others coming over, and immediately shouted to Ye Xiaojin, "Ye Xiaojin, come down and play!"
Hearing his usual friend calling him, Ye Xiaojin was suddenly moved. He turned around and looked at Jiang Xueying expectantly, "Mom!"
"Go and have fun. I'll watch from here. Don't go where the water is too deep. Xiaoyu, you go too. Keep an eye on Xiaojin. Call me if anything happens!"
"Okay, mom is so nice!"
"Yes, mother!"
The two children ran towards their friend, feeling very happy.
Just after walking a few steps down, Jiang Xueying saw Aunt Liu washing radishes by the river bank.
Aunt Liu couldn't help but frown when she heard the children's laughter not far away. As soon as she looked up, she saw Jiang Xueying.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, I seem to hear the voices of your two children. The water by the river doesn't look deep, but it actually has deep places. Aren't you going to look after them?"
"It's okay, auntie, I believe they know what to do!"
Ye Xiaojin might get into trouble because of his playful nature, but Ye Xiaoyu has a higher level of self-awareness than his peers and will definitely not let anything happen to Ye Xiaojin. She is very relieved about this.
Moreover, the child cannot be restricted too much, otherwise he will be more likely to develop a rebellious mentality. It is better to let them be free under your nose, which will also avoid a lot of trouble.
But it would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried. She could see what was happening not far away by just standing on tiptoe. Even if something happened to the children, she would be able to rush over immediately.
"By the way, tomorrow is the annual Qiqiao Festival. It's very lively everywhere. It's a rare opportunity for the children to rest. You can go and see the excitement!"
Qiqiao Festival?
Isn’t that the Chinese Valentine’s Day?
In the past, Jiang Xueying had been single and had never celebrated the Chinese Valentine's Day. Now that she was here, she was not only married but also the stepmother of two children. She had never met her cheap husband. So, this Chinese Valentine's Day...
…
It was Chinese Valentine's Day, and the streets were bustling with activity.
The laughter and the shouts of the vendors are all intertwined together, adding a lot of fireworks flavor to the quaint and prosperous streets. The strong festive atmosphere can easily infect people who are in it.
Chen Simin was in a good mood because she had no worries, so she took the opportunity to invite Jiang Xueying to go out to the street to watch the fun.
"Sister Jiang, today is Chinese Valentine's Day. The streets are full of fun. We have nothing to do today anyway, so why don't you bring the two children with you? Let's go for a walk around the streets and look at the lanterns."
Fearing that Jiang Xueying would not agree, Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin nodded first and kept clamoring to go see the lanterns.
"Okay, let's go and see."
Jiang Xueying smiled helplessly. She had intended to take her two children to see it today after hearing what Aunt Liu mentioned yesterday.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xueying quickly grabbed the two children who were in a hurry to go out.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Change your clothes first. There are new clothes in the closet. Take them and change into them. Look how dirty your clothes are."
The two children became more and more excited. They jumped up with joy and ran into the house to change their clothes, fearing that their mother would change her mind if they were a second late.
Seeing this, Chen Simin also laughed.
The group soon arrived at the street. It was dark at this time and they were fascinated by the various lanterns on the street.
"Sister Jiang, we haven't been out for a good walk for a while. We always run into this or that."
Chen Simin looked at the lanterns all over the street and couldn't help but feel emotional. She had experienced a lot during this period of time and was no longer the stubborn girl she used to be.
Fortunately, she met Jiang Xueying, otherwise she would not be able to solve many problems. Based on her previous knowledge and personality, it is hard to say whether she is still alive today.
After hearing what she said, Jiang Xueying also recalled everything that had happened during this period. Her gaze shifted to the two children who were looking left and right, and she smiled unconsciously.
"Who says it's not true? But don't worry too much. Just treat it as fate. Fortunately, everything has passed smoothly and everything will go smoothly in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xueying looked up and saw a familiar figure. Wasn't that the village gentleman, the scholar Suining Xin?
Suining Xin also looked over at this moment. His eyes were always on Chen Simin who was unaware of Jiang Xueying's presence. A gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes and his face turned slightly red.
Seeing this, Jiang Xueying understood what was going on. She lowered her head and was thinking about it. Suddenly, she saw the two children looking back at her. She took the opportunity to wink at the two children.
Ye Xiaoyu understood, and immediately turned around, pulled Chen Simin's sleeve, and pointed at Suining Xin not far away.
"Aunt Chen, our husband seems to be over there. Why is he looking at us all the time?"
Chen Simin looked up in surprise, just in time to meet Sui Ningxin's gaze, which he had no time to look away. Her cheeks immediately turned red, and her ears also turned red. She quickly reached out and gently patted Ye Xiaoyu's hand, telling her not to say anything more. It seemed that she was obviously shy.
"You little devil, you're talking nonsense!"
Jiang Xueying knew very well how Chen Simin felt about Suining Xin. It would be unfair not to add fuel to the fire on such a nice day, so she gently pushed her.
"Hurry up, today is Chinese Valentine's Day, don't miss such a good day. I'll take the kids to buy some food. They've been clamoring for beef sesame cakes."
After saying that, she immediately pulled the two children away, leaving the space for the two of them.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen has finally agreed, and the two of them are now happy. They just hope they can have a better life in the future.
To be honest, Chen Simin was the first friend she made in her two lives, and her feelings towards her must be different from those towards others.
As long as she can live happily, she will be generous in doing whatever she can to help, and she will unconditionally support her choice.
After leaving, Jiang Xueying really bought beef biscuits for the children. Seeing the two little guys eating with gusto, she was also happy.
After walking around, I suddenly heard a loud noise in front of me. There were many people gathered there, and it looked very lively.
