Because something just happened next door, Shen Qingli's plan to stay for two more days with her child was ruined. Ye Qiu urged her to take the child back. To put it bluntly, the incident next door was a murder, and he was afraid that it would be bad for the child.
She thought that since they were back, she might as well let Uncle Lin take them back to the Shen family to stay for two more days. She had originally planned to call home to inform them in advance.
As a result, Chen Ping went on a business trip to the south for exchange and study, and took his grandparents with him to travel. Gigi Lai was also very busy because the factory increased production.
Although the Meng family was reluctant to let them go, even the old man who was not superstitious knew that several people next door had just died and it would not be good for the baby to live there, so he nodded and let them go back.
Before leaving, Shen Qingli gave Ye Qiu some money and asked her to find a chance to give it to Daya. Although the adults in their family were not good people, they were no longer around, so there was no need to comment.
No matter what these children will look like in the future, Shen Qingli just feels that she should help them at this moment. Poor family means rich road. No matter what they do, it will be better if they have money in their pockets. As a lonely and helpless child since childhood, she really can't help but sympathize with them.
But this was the only thing she could do; adopting them was not an option.
Shen Qingli thought
Helping them is like helping your past self.
After picking up Aunt Liu at the address she left, they took their children and headed back.
After returning, I found that the small courtyard in front of the door was fenced off with tall tree branches as a small fence.
Shen Qingli, holding An An, walked forward and took a look. Oh! Two hens, a brood of chicks, and a small wooden board specially blocked the place as a small door.
There is also a layer of wooden boards on the roof, probably to protect the chickens from rain and wind as there is a lot of rain in the summer.
Aunt Liu put the child and the things inside before coming out to take a look. She was obviously a little surprised: "This must have been made by Xiao Meng. From now on, we don't have to buy eggs or go to the villagers' house to exchange them. It's really convenient.
"Xiao Meng is so thoughtful. He even built a shed for us. We didn't have that before. In our family, those who raised chickens had to be very well-off to raise one or two chickens for laying eggs."
After she finished speaking, the smile on her face faded a little.
What was not mentioned was that her family used to be well off and they also raised two chickens. But then Sang Yuan's father passed away, and she cried every day.
Life at home was getting increasingly difficult. The chickens were sold, and even Sang Yuan, who had been eating one egg a day since childhood, didn't have a single bite for two years.
"Very good." Shen Qingli felt that Meng Xiao, this rough guy, was quite thoughtful this time. It was much better to have a chicken coop.
Otherwise, she would have to think about having to wipe the child's poop and urine every day, and chasing after the chickens to shovel away chicken poop. Ugh, it makes her feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Aunt Liu suddenly fell silent, and Shen Qingli didn't say anything else. She knew that Aunt Liu, a woman with a child, had lived a hard life in the past. Perhaps some words or raising chickens touched her again.
When Aunt Liu took An An from her hands, Shen Qingli smiled and said:
"Aunt Liu, please coax An An to sleep for a while. I'll clean up the things. We'll have a simple lunch first. I'll make something delicious for dinner and ask Meng Xiao to call Sang Yuan to come over for dinner."
Aunt Liu shook her head repeatedly: "Don't bother calling him. Food is so expensive these days. We can't let that brat come here every few days to eat for free. He can just eat in the cafeteria."
The saying “young brats are eating me out of money” is absolutely true, especially since they consume a lot of energy during daily training and have big appetites.
Xiao Meng's monthly salary is not much, and he has to pay most of it to her, and the rest is used to support his wife and children. How can he afford Sang Yuan to come and eat frequently?
She knew Qingli meant well and wanted her to see her son more often, but she couldn't always take advantage of him and eat for free, right?
"Aunt Liu, you're overthinking it. It's just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks. Don't worry, even if ten Sang Yuans come, they won't make us broke."
"But…"
"Don't worry, hurry up and coax An An to sleep. You have to help me cook when he falls asleep."
Shen Qingli used a little effort to push Aunt Liu into the house.
Aunt Liu didn’t know what they brought back from the Meng family. She had to take out more supplies, food and milk powder from the space while packing up.
Meng Xiao didn't know they were coming back today. He basically didn't get any rest last night and didn't even have lunch in the cafeteria. He was planning to come back and take a nap.
Meng Xiao was so excited that he didn't expect to see the smoke rising from his home kitchen from such a long distance!
I was originally walking at a normal speed, but then I started running home.
He rushed into the kitchen and saw the little girl bending over to cut vegetables. He rushed over and hugged her from behind:
"You heartless little thing, you finally decided to come back? We've only been apart for a few hours, but it feels like you haven't seen me for days. I missed you so much, baby."
He leaned over and talked to himself in her ear, not noticing Shen Qingli's stiff body at all.
"Meng Xiao." She struggled to break free.
Meng Xiao hugged her tighter
"Huh? Don't you always call me Meng Xiaoxiao? You haven't seen me for a few hours and you're already feeling distant with me?"
"Meng Xiao! Aunt Liu is here!" Shen Qingli said in a rough voice, almost gritting his teeth.
Meng Xiao was about to speak when he reacted and turned his head to look at Aunt Liu who was making a fire and lowered her head, trying not to see him. His arms suddenly relaxed.
"Aunt Liu, long time no see." He touched the back of his head and walked out quickly without waiting for Aunt Liu to say anything. It was so fucking embarrassing!
He walked into the house to check on the baby, but then he paused and suddenly remembered… He said he hadn’t seen Aunt Liu in a long time! Only two or three days!!!
Meng Xiao now just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Moreover, when he came out just now, he seemed to be walking with his hands and feet clumsily!
Damn! How shameful!
The baby fell asleep, and he sat beside him and watched quietly. My son is so handsome, just like me!
My daughter is so beautiful! She looks like my wife!
These two pink balls are mine!
He looked at the babies with "loving" eyes like an old father, at least that's how Shen Qingli saw it.
Yes! It is “loving-kindness”!
“It’s time to eat!”
Seeing Meng Xiao's claws reaching out to An An's little face, Shen Qingli suddenly called him. Hearing his wife calling him, Meng Xiao withdrew his hand embarrassedly.
Shen Qingli snorted coldly. She knew without thinking that the stinky Meng Xiao must be trying to sneak around behind her back and pinch her son's face again. She had discovered it several times.
Maybe because they looked so cute with their pink and chubby appearance, he wanted to reach out and poke and pinch them, but Shen Qingli found that he just grabbed An An and laughed.
Maybe he knew that he was clumsy and had calluses on his hands, so he was afraid of hurting his daughter.
Shen Qingli scolded him every time he saw him.
Meng Xiao rarely retorted and said that boys shouldn't be spoiled.
But go to hell, you’re just a little kid.
