Chapter 327: Unwise and Unkind
Minmin vaguely remembered the past times she spent with Lu Miao.
Not only did she not reject Lu Miao, she also liked this aunt who had braided her hair:
"Aunt, I know. It was my mother who asked Xiaojie and I to come and play together."
Minjie stared at the clockwork frog in Dabao's hand and turned around when he heard the voice:
"Aunt likes the hustle and bustle, the more people there are, the more lively it is."
Lu Miao knew what was going on, but he didn't show anything in front of the child.
Patting Minjie and Minmin's heads, she went into the house and packed some red dates and melon seeds. She also placed a small bamboo tube outside the fence:
"You guys play, but keep an eye on your brothers and sisters. Eat the melon seed shells and date pits and throw them into this bamboo tube."
"I understand, Auntie!"
Minjie clumsily hugged Erbao and pointed at Minmin and said:
"Xia Xia, this is the eldest sister. She is the oldest among us."
Erbao opened his little mouth and frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar Minmin:
"Big, big..."
Dabao came over following the wind, thinking that Erbao was calling him, so he moved close to Erbao's little face and put his lips close to Erbao's, spitting all over Erbao's face.
Erbao was suspicious of life and his attention was diverted:
"Bad, bad brother..."
The small hall became more and more lively.
Lu Miao looked worriedly at the four little ones in the fence, frowned, and went back to the backyard to continue his work.
Chen Guifen came over quickly and saw the children having fun in the fence. She didn't want to just take them away.
Chen Guifen went to the backyard to find Lu Miao, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to say.
"Aunt is here to pick up Minmin?"
Lu Miao looked calm, knowing why she came.
Chen Guifen nodded and sighed helplessly:
"She's a bit confused. The situation is special right now, so don't bother with her."
Lu Miao rarely goes to the He family because her two children need to be taken care of. Now that Zhao Lanxiang is back, she will not go even more.
Care about?
What’s the point of caring?
The old couple are caught in the middle.
As Chen Guifen said, Zhao Lanxiang was pregnant and her situation was special.
Having taken care of her inconveniences, all that’s left now is to enshrine her.
Who can do anything to her?
"I understand, Auntie."
Lu Miao moved a small stool and sat down to talk with Chen Guifen at the back door of the kitchen.
"Let her stay here today."
"Isn't it bothering you..."
Chen Guifen put it tactfully.
"Adults are adults, and children are children. I can still tell the difference."
Lu Miao shook his head and continued:
"The kids are having a great time. If you call Minmin away now, it might even affect the harmony among the children."
Another thing that Lu Miao didn't say explicitly was that Minmin was called over here by Zhao Lanxiang.
If Chen Guifen comes and takes Minmin away now, Zhao Lanxiang might cause trouble when she returns.
He Hongjin and Chen Guifen are both honest and decent people. They are not young anymore, but they are troubled by these trivial matters every day. It is pitiful to think about them.
In the past, Lu Miao had received a lot of kindness from the old couple.
At this juncture, it is better to have less trouble than more.
She also wanted to save the old couple some worry and trouble.
Besides, Zhao Lanxiang, what is her current relationship with Brother He and the Fu family? What is the situation? Doesn’t she know it herself?
When adults come over and order children over, they are either testing the child or trying to take advantage of him.
Taking advantage of yourself will cause others to suffer losses. Making others suffer losses is unwise if you do it yourself, and unkind if you do it to others.
Being unwise and unkind will result in great losses.
Do you think it’s a good thing to be able to take advantage of everything?
It would only harm herself.
Let’s wait and see.
Chen Guifen didn't know what Lu Miao was thinking.
But Chen Guifen could feel her concession.
People are afraid of comparison.
Perhaps because she was exhausted from all the work lately, Chen Guifen felt inexplicably emotional.
There are three children in the family, and the two biological ones are not necessarily that caring, but the adopted son is.
Not only did he help take care of the family on a daily basis, but he also made her feel a little relieved at this time.
More than ten or twenty years ago, Fu Jingyou was brought back from the mountains. At that time, many people in the village said that the only child left in the Fu family had a strong life and was a lonely star.
Especially those close to you are unlucky.
Even if you raise them with great effort, they are destined to be ungrateful in the future.
She said no then.
No matter how bad a seed is, as long as you are willing to teach it carefully, it will grow up to be a good child.
See what she said?
Chen Guifen smiled with relief, patted Lu Miao's slightly cold hand, stood up and said:
"Then I'll leave her here for now. You take care of the house. I'll go back and clean up, and I'll go to the fields too."
Lu Miao nodded and stood up to see her off.
Chen Guifen hugged Dabao again in the main room before leaving.
Lu Miao didn't go out, so she didn't know what happened when He Hongjin came back after checking his leg.
She only found out when Fu Jingyou came back in the evening.
The hospital said it neglected the issue.
Even though the weather had gotten cooler, He Hongjin still had to go to the fields every day, dragging his injured leg back and forth. Not only did the sweat from his work get into the wound.
The wound is already seriously inflamed. If I had gone a few days later, I would have to cut out the rotten flesh.
Lu Miao shuddered, and the hairs on his back stood up.
She couldn't bear to hear this, so Fu Jingyou didn't say much to her, and just said:
"It's nothing serious. I got an anti-inflammatory shot today and was prescribed some medicine. The doctor said I just need to take some time off to recuperate."
Lu Miao said, "He's a farmer, and he's also a production team leader. Is he willing to take a break?"
“…”
This left Fu Jingyou speechless.
As expected, it was just as Lu Miao expected.
The next day, while drying Dabao and Erbao's diapers at the door, Lu Miao saw He Hongjin carrying a hoe and working in the fields around the pond from a distance.
"Who is this?"
Lu Miao shook his head and walked into the house carrying the empty bucket.
He Hongjin has such a stubborn personality that no one can say anything about him.
Lu Miao didn't plan to take care of it, but when Ma Tianzao came over in the morning, Lu Miao asked Ma Tianzao to help look after Dabao and Erbao.
She went back to the kitchen and picked up the stewed turtle from the big-bellied soup pot, scooped out the hem and the meaty part, filled a bowl and put it in the basket.
Soft-shelled turtle has high nutritional value, can nourish qi and blood, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
This is very suitable for He Hongjin's leg injury.
Lu Miao didn't go to the He family, but carried it directly to the field.
There was not much work to do in the fields after winter, so He Hongjin chatted with his uncles and aunts working in the neighboring fields while he was working.
He had his back to Lu Miao and didn't even know Lu Miao was coming.
It was my uncle who saw it and said:
"Hey, Xiaoliu's wife is here, carrying something. Is she bringing you something?"
He Hongjin looked back while holding the handle of the hoe, isn't it?
Over the light blue jacket was a buttoned sleeveless vest with emerald green plaid, a bright color rarely seen in the countryside.
Without looking at the figure or the face, you can tell who it is.
He Hongjin scratched his head, not knowing what Lu Miao was up to.
"Uncle, I brought you some food. Put down your work and come and eat."
Lu Miao walked closer and called out without any hesitation or awkwardness.
Her and He Hongjin's tempers don't quite match. If they really get into details, they'll start arguing after just a few words.
"What are you doing here? It's not like it's busy farming season, why are you wasting your energy?"
