"Eeya eeya~"
Yes, yes!
The three and four babies smiled like flowers, watching Song Lan respond in their baby talk.
"So it really is true!"
Song Lan gave the three and four children a quick kiss on their delicate, rosy cheeks: "Mom thanks the three and four children too!" Then, she asked Li Jumei, "Is Dad cooking?"
"What else can your dad do if he's not cooking?"
Li Jumei gestured towards the kitchen and said, "At lunchtime, you casually mentioned wanting to eat locust flower wheat porridge, and your dad remembered it immediately. Later that afternoon..."
He went out pushing his bicycle and came back carrying a bamboo basket full of locust blossoms. They looked like they'd been picked recently, and when I asked him, I was right.
"My dad wouldn't have gone to the suburbs and found it in the woods, would he?"
Song Lan's eyes curved like the most beautiful crescent moon. At this moment, she was undoubtedly very moved by Song Sanhe's actions.
“They went to the suburbs, but didn’t look for any woods. Your dad bought it from a family for one dollar.”
Li Jumei's tone was a little sour: "Whatever you say, your dad takes it more seriously than anyone else!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Are you jealous?"
Aunt Liu chuckled softly beside her.
Li Jumei glared at Song Lan: "Your mother isn't that petty!"
Unexpectedly, Song Lan chuckled again: "Yes, yes, my mother is very magnanimous and would never be jealous of her own daughter. However, I am your and Dad's little darling. My father's kindness to me is the same as your kindness to me, Mom. I remember all of this!"
"Did you eat honey at the hospital before going home from get off work?"
Li Jumei looked at Song Lan with a strange expression.
"That would be too cloying! Since I'm your and my dad's little darling, I naturally won't say anything insincere in front of you."
The implication is that everything she said was the absolute truth.
—From the bottom of my heart!
“Lanlan is a filial and good child, I believe what she said.”
Aunt Liu looked at Song Lan with loving eyes.
"I think you've been fooled by her sweet talk!"
Li Jumei glared at Song Lan again, shook her head, and replied to Aunt Liu with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Mom, I can swear."
As she spoke, Song Lan made a gesture as if to raise her hand.
Just then, Erbao looked up at Li Jumei with his little head tilted back and said in a childish voice, "Grandma, Mommy is a good mommy, she won't lie to Grandma!"
Da Bao nodded his little head emphatically, echoing his younger brother: "Mom never lies!"
"Look, little sister, look at these two brothers! They're still just little kids, but they already know how to protect their mother. Why can't I be happy about this?!"
Li Jumei deliberately feigned jealousy.
Aunt Liu chuckled, "Our Da Bao and Er Bao are such outstanding children. The fact that they can protect Lan Lan shows that Lan Lan has raised them well. And Lan Lan is your daughter, so it's clear that you two deserve the most credit!"
"Why can't I understand?"
Li Jumei seemed to understand, but not quite; in short, she found it a bit confusing.
"First of all, it was thanks to you, big sister, that Lanlan was able to raise Dabao and Erbao to be so successful. They know how to protect their mother at such a young age."
Aunt Liu explained.
Li Jumei blushed slightly: "I didn't teach Lanlan anything."
"Don't be modest in front of me, older sister!"
Aunt Liu smiled.
"Grandma is being modest!"
This is the voice of a baby named Makino.
"Mom, Aunt Liu, you two chat, I'll go put my bag down."
After greeting Li Jumei and Aunt Liu, Song Lan let go of Xiao Muye and Erbao's hands and walked straight towards her and Qin Yanzheng's bedroom.
"Mom, drink some water!"
When she returned to the courtyard, Da Bao was carrying a cup of warm water and was about to stagger out of the living room. Seeing this, Song Lan quickly stepped forward and took it from him: "Thank you, Da Bao!"
The warm boiled water was poured by Xiao Liu for his nephew, Da Bao.
Song Lan finished her drink in one gulp, and before she could say anything, Xiao Liu took the empty cup from her.
Song Lan smiled at the little girl and patted her head casually, saying, "Thank you, Xiao Liu!" Then she said to Li Jumei, "I'll go check on the kitchen."
Needless to say, Song Lan was going to the kitchen to help Song Sanhe.
Sophora japonica flower wheat rice is a traditional delicacy made primarily from sophora japonica flowers and wheat flour. It is believed to have benefits such as clearing heat and detoxifying, moisturizing the intestines and relieving constipation, and supplementing nutrition.
Springtime health-preserving foods are very beneficial to the human body.
It was the season when locust flowers were in full bloom, so Song Lan couldn't help but mention it during lunch.
"dad!"
Entering the kitchen, Song Lan called out to Song Sanhe, then said, "Go and rest, I'll make dinner."
“I don’t do any heavy work at home every day, so I don’t need to rest all the time. It’s you who needs to rest properly after a day of work so that you won’t be lacking in energy at work tomorrow.”
Song Sanhe said gently, "Besides, I'm almost done with my work. Once Yanzheng and Comrade Yang come back, we can have dinner."
Ever since Song Lan's background was explained to Old Master Chen and his brothers, and since Song Lan did not object to being their second wife's child, Song Sanhe absolutely treated Song Lan like his own daughter.
Okay, this doesn't mean that Song Sanhe didn't love his daughter Song Lan before. It's just that he was worried that Song Lan wasn't his biological daughter and that Li Jumei might find out the truth and something might happen to her, which is why he was somewhat lukewarm towards Song Lan in terms of their relationship.
Now that Song Lan knows her true parentage, her willingness to become the child of the second wife undoubtedly shows that she genuinely considers the couple as her own parents.
Therefore, it would be really hard to justify if Song Sanhe continued to be pretentious and indifferent to his own child!
Song Lan didn't leave the kitchen. She watched Song Sanhe wipe the stove with a rag and suggested with a smile, "Dad, tomorrow is Sunday, why don't we go to the compound to visit my grandparents?"
“Since the end of the year, your mother and I have been taking care of the child and haven’t been able to visit your grandparents in the compound. Now that you’ve brought it up, let’s go tomorrow.”
After a pause, Song Sanhe continued, "I wanted to bring your grandma with me when I came to Beijing before the New Year, but no matter what I said, she just wouldn't agree. She said she was used to living in the village and was worried that she wouldn't have anywhere to visit in Beijing."
"Perhaps my grandma was afraid of causing us trouble."
Song Lan said, "How about this, when summer vacation comes, I'll have my older brother go back to the village and bring my grandma over?"
Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe had no objection whatsoever and said, "I will go back with your older brother then."
"Alright."
Song Lan smiled.
...
The moonlight was bright outside the window. Qin Yanzheng held the person in his arms as they lay on the bed. He kissed her forehead and said, "Tomorrow I'll go to the compound with you and Mom and Dad."
"No overtime?"
Song Lan looked up at the man.
"I haven't had a break since I started working after the New Year. Taking a day off tomorrow won't hurt."
Qin Yanzheng's clear yet gentle voice carried a hint of amusement: "Besides, no matter how busy you are with work, you still need to balance work and rest, don't you think?"
