Chapter 340 Minmin
It took the family several days to clean up after slaughtering a pig.
While the ingredients are still fresh, Lu Miao cooks different dishes every day.
There are foods for adults and also for babies.
We had tried the sauce-flavored spareribs, the braised pork, and the pork jerky that Lu Miao had failed to roast and ended up frying.
And so on and so forth.
I have satisfied my appetite, and my wife and children are still by my side.
The beautiful scene of family happiness allowed Fu Jingyou to relax for a rare time, lie down and enjoy a few days of good times.
But after being taken care of by his wife for a long time, Fu Jingyou inexplicably had an idea.
He has been living a comfortable and enjoyable life, doing nothing but taking care of the kids every day. It seems he is no different from the lazy guy living at the end of the village?
Ideas are secondary, and ultimately they cannot outweigh the hard work in one’s bones.
Fu Jingyou tidied up, picked up his tools, and hammered away to reinforce the pigpen beside the house.
New grass was also laid in the pigeon coop in the backyard.
It was still some time before the Chinese New Year, and there was no need to do a detailed cleaning of the house for the time being, so he moved a ladder to the roof.
Re-tiled and repaired the places where rain drips and air leaks.
About five or six days passed before He Hongjin came to return the bicycle.
During this period, Fu Jingyou had never been to the He family. When He Hongjin came this time, Fu Jingyou asked a few questions about the situation.
He Hongjin told the story about Minmin.
The little girl's nose was hit by the broken lens and she bled a lot.
When he was sent to the hospital, he was unconscious and his body was starting to feel cold.
The doctor worked for most of the night, giving medicine and stitches before the patient stabilized.
I just woke up the day before yesterday, but I couldn’t recognize anyone.
I asked the doctor, and he said that he had hit his head and that we should wait and see how it went.
Look, he is feeling better today and can recognize his father and grandfather. He Hongjin just came back from the county.
"Why did your nose suddenly get hurt?"
The girl is just too playful and can't even get her nose covered with broken lenses or glass pieces.
He Hongjin was not the type to keep things to himself, so he said everything he knew without hiding anything from Fu Jingyou:
"It's all because of that foolish mother of hers. I really don't know how the Zhao family raised their daughter! If I had known it would be like this, I would never have agreed to this marriage!"
He Hongjin also had some emotions when he said this.
He Hongjin is not an extremely patriarchal person. Having sons and grandsons is definitely good, but the girl is also of He family blood.
You can't treat people like that!
Still my mother!
In the past, Fu Jingyou might have only felt pity for Minmin.
But now, he is also a father himself.
Thinking that a little girl suddenly became like this, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"So how is the injury now? What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said the injury is right in the middle and it will definitely leave a scar."
He Hongjin frowned and waved his hand. Besides being worried, there was a hint of heartache in his tone.
"Girls in our village don't care about appearance. As long as they are hardworking and willing to work, they can also be praised by others."
"That's right. A small person suffered such a great loss. Now his face is swollen like a thing and he can't even open his eyes..."
"When I came back from the county, your aunt was wiping away tears while looking at the blood-dripping stone in the yard."
He Hongjin sighed and waved his hand:
"Alright, the New Year is coming soon, you two should just live your lives in peace and don't cause any more trouble..."
He Hongjin rubbed his crew cut, and his hair, which already had many white hairs standing up, seemed to have even more whiter hairs now.
"I don't have many years left to live, so let me have a few days of peace and quiet."
Fu Jingyou was speechless. He watched He Hongjin leave with a slightly hunched back, and his heart felt inexplicably heavy.
Lu Miao came out of the house and asked him what was going on.
Fu Jingyou told the truth.
Lu Miao asked again, "How could they do this? The child was sent to the hospital, but what about the adults? It was all a lot of noise, but nothing happened, and there's no follow-up."
Fu Jingyou understood what she meant and said:
"Uncle said she was sent back to the Zhao family. Big brother meant that if she wasn't satisfied with the He family's care, then let someone from the Zhao family come."
Brother He had mentioned the matter of divorce once before.
Zhao Lanxiang was scared at the time, and she cried and apologized, saying that she would change. After that, she was indeed well-behaved for a long time.
It’s just because I’m pregnant again. What’s the local saying in the village?
Sour boy, spicy girl. Zhao Lanxiang always wanted to eat sour food and thought that she was sure to have a baby, so she had the confidence to make a fuss.
Brother He has always wanted a son, but this incident really broke his heart.
It is still unclear whether Zhao Lanxiang is pregnant with a son.
And we can’t treat our eldest daughter as a non-human being just because a child hasn’t been born yet.
Even if it is really a son, a daughter who has been raised for several years will be emotionally better than a boy who has not yet been born or has just been born.
Brother He said that he would give some money to the Zhao family every month.
She is the Zhao family’s own daughter, so they can take care of her however they want.
If Zhao Lanxiang still wants to make trouble, then she can do it at the Zhao family.
"What about Minmin's arrangements? When will she be discharged from the hospital? Who will take care of her in the future?"
Brother He has to go to work, so he can't just send Minmin to the Zhao family and let Zhao Lanxiang take care of her, right?
But if it is placed in the He family, will the Zhao family agree?
Lu Miao's brows furrowed, and he felt uncomfortable and a little worried.
For people who have no bottom line, children are just bargaining chips and punching bags for adults.
"He still needs a few more days of injections. We'll see how he's doing in a few days. If he's okay, my uncle said, we'll bring him back and let my aunt take care of him."
Lu Miao nodded.
This is a good arrangement.
Minmin stays at the He family and doesn't have to worry about her personal safety for the time being.
Another thing is that the old couple are not confused people. Compared to Zhao Lanxiang's confused mother, Minmin may live a happier and easier life with her grandparents.
The probability of it growing crooked is also greatly reduced...
"don’t worry."
Fu Jingyou tapped Lu Miao's furrowed brows.
"Minmin will definitely take her back later. If you're not sure, just go over and take a look when you have time."
Lu Miao nodded his chin.
Fu Jingyou smiled and took her hand and walked into the house.
"Uncle and aunt will take care of things over there. What we need to consider now is our own affairs."
Lu Miao was puzzled.
Your own business?
What's up?
She didn't say anything. Fu Jingyou seemed to have anticipated her confusion, so he smiled and said:
"The meat has been drying for a few days now, it's about time I started buying tickets to Beijing."
"The train doesn't run all the time, and by the time I'm waiting for the train, the bacon at home is almost gone."
Lu Miao nodded and said, "Then I'll take some time off in the next two days to pack your luggage."
Fu Jingyou heard the hidden meaning and held her hand and said:
"Your father and aunt must be missing you and the child. Are you sure you don't want to go back and see them?"
Lu Miao shook his head. "The train to Beijing takes 20 to 30 hours. It's inconvenient to bring Dabao and Erbao with us. Plus, they're still too young to be on the train."
To be fair, she actually wanted to go back and take a look.
But after thinking about it, Lu Miao said decisively:
"We'll see next year, when the first and second babies are a little older and at least they'll cry out when they need to pee. Then it will be almost done."
