Hong Ling felt reassured and estimated that she would keep Qian Jinshu for the rest of her life.
The next day at noon, Qian Xiaolai and Qian Jinshu brought Qian Lei and Qian Dan to see Li Qiumei.
"Mom, Mom." The brother and sister rushed over.
Li Qiumei saw that her two children had not only grown taller but also gained weight.
It seems that the absence of her as their biological mother does not affect their healthy growth at all.
Qiandan noticed the fruits and pastries placed on the bedside table.
She took out a pack of egg cakes: "Mom, I want to eat egg cakes."
Li Qiumei nodded.
The brother and sister asked Qian Jinshu to tear open the bag and each of them ate a piece.
Qian Xiaolai went forward and looked at Li Qiumei's foot: "Qiumei, why is your left foot injured like Jinshu's?"
Li Qiumei nodded.
Qian Xiaolai took out a cigarette and went out to find a place to smoke.
Qin Ruyue brought Hu Baoer to deliver food to Li Qiumei.
She cooked a pot of pork rib soup and even brought the pot over.
"Qiumei, quickly call the children over for dinner."
When they heard about eating meat, Qian Lei and his sister came over with shining eyes.
On weekdays, Chen Cuizhen is reluctant to buy meat.
Hu Baoer stared at the egg cake in Qian Dan's hand: "Sister, I want it."
Qian Dan ran to Qian Jinshu with the bag.
"Dandan, share some with your sister." Qian Jinshu told her.
Qian Dan took out a piece and skillfully broke it into three pieces. She handed one to Hu Baoer, one to Qian Lei, and put the other into her mouth.
That action inexplicably reminded Li Qiumei of Qian Jiaojiao.
That guy also broke a piece of egg cake into three pieces. Qian Dan probably learned this from him.
Qin Ruyue only brought three sets of bowls and chopsticks. She picked up Hu Baoer and said, "Qiumei, eat quickly. Baoer and I have something to do so we will go back first.
Baoer, hurry up and say goodbye to your brothers and sisters."
Hu Baoer waved to Qian Lei and his sister, and Qin Ruyue hugged her and turned away.
He ignored Qian Jinshu's presence throughout the whole process.
Before Li Qiumei could open her mouth to chase them away, Qian Jinshu told his son, "Leilei, go find your grandfather and come over for dinner.
After you find grandpa, go to the third floor and get two sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Li Qiumei gave him a glare, "Shameless!"
Seeing Qian Lei was about to leave, Qian Dan wanted to follow him, so she took another apple before leaving.
Qian Jinshu made small talk, "Qiumei, your friend's accent sounds like someone from Beishan. What kind of job does she do in the provincial capital?"
Li Qiumei scooped herself a spoonful of pork rib soup and said, "Why do you care so much?"
"It seems to me that she has something against me, but I haven't offended her." Qian Jinshu was a little depressed.
He took a bowl and scooped himself a spoonful of pork rib soup.
"Mom and Dad, let's get the bowls."
Qian Xiaolai came in holding Qian Lei's hand and carrying two sets of bowls and chopsticks, while Qian Dan came back with the bag of egg cakes and apples.
Qian Jinshu scooped a spoonful of soup for them both. The brother and sister ate while standing by the bed, while Qian Xiaolai squatted outside the door to eat.
Before we finished eating, Second Aunt came in carrying Qian Rui on her back and a few aluminum lunch boxes.
"Qiumei, Second Aunt didn't know you were also in the hospital.
I came to deliver food to Jinshu and just heard that he was with you."
She put down the lunch box and said, "Xiaolai, your second brother told you last night that I would bring you food today.
I was a little slow and almost couldn't catch up.
Come on! Open these boxes and eat them together."
Seeing that Hong Ling didn't come, Li Qiumei said, "Qian Lei, go and call your aunt Hong Ling to come up and eat with us."
Qian Lei put down his chopsticks and was about to run away when he was stopped by Qian Jinshu.
"Let's eat as a family first. After we're done, call her up to collect the dishes."
Qian Rui made a fuss and wanted to get down, so Second Aunt had to put her down.
Seeing Chandan eating, she wanted to eat too.
Second Aunt said with a smile: "This child likes to play with Dandan.
Look, her mother has to go back to her parents' home for something today, and no matter how she coaxes her, she refuses to go with her.
I was crying and looking for my sister.
Hey, this guy is crazy, look, he doesn't even want me to feed him, he wants to eat by himself with Dandan."
After Li Qiumei finished her meal, she sat aside and chatted with her second aunt.
"Second Aunt, you have to cook, take care of the children and do housework, it's too hard.
You should let her mother take care of Ruirui herself, otherwise it will be a thankless task and people will blame you for spoiling the child behind her back."
Second Aunt slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, you are absolutely right.
Dongyan has been blaming me this morning for spoiling Ruirui, saying that she is not obedient and doesn't want to kiss her.
You said she only cares about herself all day long, and wouldn't even help a child if he fell down in front of her. How could the child be close to her?
Li Qiumei was a little curious: "Then why doesn't she find a job?"
"I've looked for several jobs, but they were either too hard or too tiring, and I always came back after not lasting long.
I asked your second uncle to talk to her, but he told me not to meddle in other people's business.
It is the business of young people, and we old people should not interfere.
Jin Guo is a man who listens to his wife and is reluctant to say anything to her.
The father and son let her do whatever she wanted, and I was the only old lady at home taking care of them.
Oh, I'll talk about it when I can't do it anymore!"
Li Qiumei asked a question she had been thinking about for a long time.
"Second Aunt, how did Jin Guo get to know Dong Yan?"
Second Aunt sighed and said, "It was Lao Qin who introduced you to me, the guy who works in the same factory as your second uncle.
Back then, although Dongyan people were beautiful, they were also hardworking and honest.
But she didn't have a job, and I originally didn't agree to go abroad and marry her.
Who knew that Jin Guo fell in love with her at first sight.
