Chapter 326: Petty
After dinner, Fu Jingyou went to the He family.
There were still some sparks in the stove. Lu Miao poured some water into the pot and put the dishes and chopsticks in to soak.
Wait until the water is warm before washing.
Just as she had finished cleaning up, there was a knock on the front door.
Fu Jingyou is back.
Lu Miao bolted the door again:
"So soon?"
"Um."
"What's going on now? Is it serious?"
"At first he refused to tell the truth, but later he said... he ran into a wild boar on his way back from the mountains, and he fell while running. Now his skin is swollen."
Lu Miao was slightly surprised:
"Are there any wild boars here?"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
He had just gotten married at that time, and in order to quickly get some money into his hands, he went into the mountains with He Hongjin to hunt wild boars.
It was just that I was afraid that Lu Miao would worry, so I didn't mention this matter explicitly.
Lu Miao was still apprehensive: "Will the wild boar come down the mountain?"
"Sometimes in the winter when I can't find food, I'll go to the fields at the foot of the mountain and roam. I usually don't go where there are people."
Lu Miao felt relieved and asked again:
"How's the situation over there, uncle? Just a little swelling?"
Fu Jingyou shook his head and hugged her as they walked towards the room:
"When he fell, he must have stepped on a branch or a sharp rock. He's got a lot of pus... I just let him out. I'll take him to the county office tomorrow when I go to work."
Lu Miao nodded his chin worriedly, not daring to think about the scene too much.
Early the next morning, Fu Jingyou rode his bicycle to take He Hong to the county to see his leg.
Zhao Lanxiang heard the noise and got up to take a look.
Seeing He Hongjin limping out of the yard, she rolled her eyes, snorted softly, and lay down to continue sleeping.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by the chattering sounds in the yard.
The sun was shining brightly in the yard. Chen Guifen stewed a ladle of sweet potatoes, picked out the ones that were not yet cooked, and placed them on a small stool for Minmin and Minjie to sit on in the yard.
Eat sweet potatoes while basking in the sun.
Minjie has been with Lu Miao for some time. He doesn’t recognize many words, but Lu Miao has taught him a lot of number songs and nursery rhymes.
While eating sweet potatoes, Minjie adapted the nursery rhyme about counting ducks and started counting the sweet potatoes.
Minmin was curious and asked him:
"Xiao Jie, what song are you singing?"
Minjie puffed his lips and said:
"It's a nursery rhyme, taught by my aunt."
"Auntie is so awesome!"
"Yes, my aunt is the best. The food she cooks is also very delicious. Sister, come with me to my aunt's house to play today! My younger brothers and sisters are also very obedient."
Minjie usually eats breakfast at the He family and lunch at the Fu family with Dabao and Erbao.
Sometimes He Hongjin and his team were too busy to come out until very late, so Minjie would have dinner at the Fu family's place.
In a month or two, the little guy's originally chubby face looked rounder and whiter.
Zhao Lanxiang had always wanted a son. Looking at the chubby, fair-skinned Minjie in the yard, she felt both fondness and envy for him.
But that was in the past, and there is no need to envy it in the future.
Zhao Lanxiang's eyes flickered slightly as she held her flat belly and touched it.
Minjie could only utter a few polite Mandarin words from time to time. Zhao Lanxiang felt resentful towards the second wife for being so cunning when she heard this.
He sent his son back to be raised by the couple from the Fu family without even saying hello to her.
She hides any benefits she has and wants to keep them to herself, as if she is afraid that others will snatch them away from her.
Zhao Lanxiang looked down on Tian Guihua's "petty-mindedness", but did not want to miss this opportunity to take advantage of her.
Thinking about what Minjie said just now, Zhao Lanxiang held the door frame and coaxed Minjie with a smile:
"Minjie, my aunt is busy today. Can you take my sister to your aunt's house to play?"
It’s the same whether you take care of one baby or two babies.
If the second brother can take care of it, why can’t she take care of it?
Minjie was unaware of the dispute between the adults and nodded with a pout:
"I see, Auntie. My aunt's house is very lively. My aunt loves lively places."
After Chen Guifen cleaned up the stove and came out, there were only two uneaten sweet potatoes left on the small chair in the yard. There was no sign of Minmin and Minjie at all.
"Where are the two kids? They haven't even had a bite of breakfast yet. Where did they go?"
Zhao Lanxiang stood in the yard, basking in the sun and combing her braids, saying:
"I went to Xiaoliu's house."
Chen Guifen was stunned when she heard this, and slapped her thigh with a "tsk".
"I usually take Minmin with me, and it doesn't bother you in any way. How could you let Minmin go over there? Isn't that just causing trouble for others?"
Zhao Lanxiang said indifferently:
"It was Minjie who insisted on dragging Minmin along. What could I do? The naughty boy is very strong. What if I fall if I try to pull him?"
Zhao Lanxiang touched her belly and hummed indifferently:
"Besides, I didn't go empty-handed. I brought some sweet potatoes with me, didn't I? Can't I just stay at their house for a while? You're so stingy, you're still a city dweller!"
Zhao Lanxiang turned around and went into the house.
"You're already a mother of two, and you really don't know anything!"
Chen Guifen really didn't want to talk to Zhao Lanxiang.
No matter how strong Minjie is, he is just a four-year-old boy!
Besides, even if I tell Minjie, he won’t listen.
She usually treats her own daughter like a quail. How can Minmin not listen to her if she yells at her?
Not wanting to argue with Zhao Lanxiang, Chen Guifen took off her robe, threw it on the table in the main hall, and went out to the Fu family.
On the other side, the Fu family.
In the main room, Minjie was calling his aunt.
Lu Miao was killing a soft-shelled turtle with scissors in the backyard when he heard the noise and stuck his head out.
He originally wanted to coax Minjie to play with Dabao and Erbao for a while, but before he could say anything, Lu Miao saw Minmin lying on the edge of the fence with a curious look on her face.
Minmin saw her out of the corner of her eye and quickly stood up straight:
"Little aunt."
The little girl had clear eyes, and apart from being reserved, there was nothing else that could be seen on her.
That is, no matter how cunning adults are, they are still adults and have nothing to do with children.
Lu Miao has always understood this truth.
Especially after having children of my own.
But at this moment, seeing Minmin so timid in the main room, she just felt...
Like a fishbone stuck in the throat.
The fence in the main room has been adjusted.
It turned out that there was a cool mat underneath. Now that the weather is cold, I am worried that the eldest and second children will get cold when they sit on it and play.
Fu Jingyou used bricks and stones to fix the logs underneath, and then placed wooden boards on top, raising them by nearly thirty centimeters.
For fear that the wooden boards were too hard, several layers of straw mats were placed on top, and then quilts and sheets were placed on top.
At this time of year, the eldest and second children can sit on it and play without worrying about catching a cold.
If it gets colder in the future, you can put a shorter charcoal brazier underneath to keep warm.
Lu Miao suppressed his emotions, washed his hands in the backyard, and after returning to the main room, he asked Minjie and Minmin to take off their shoes.
She carried the two little ones into the fence to play.
The child was innocent, but Lu Miao was more cautious.
When she carried Minmin into the fence, she asked:
"Minmin, have you grown taller again? Come over and play with your mother, does she know?"
