Anyone who left after dinner has left.
With the help of the old lady's crutches, Xu Cuiying went home after finishing her meal. Before leaving, she took away a big pork elbow.
Liu Xiaofeng saw it but didn't say anything.
Song Lianxiu was taken away by her mother's family to change Hu Zi's urinal and would not be back until the next day.
Tang Yiyi didn't want to move either. She sat in the yard with the old lady, watching Liu Xiaofeng and the others work. Xu Yan was also cleaning up the table, wiping the table that he had borrowed for his family, and then returning it.
Xu Lan, Xu Ya and Su Ning cleaned the house, washed the dishes and pots, and it took only an hour or so to clean it up.
They all sat together in the yard and chatted.
Xu Lan was so happy that she came back so rarely. The last time she came back was when Xu Yan and Tang Yiyi got married. It has been more than half a year now, and Tang Yiyi's belly is so big.
"Yi Yi, how many months has it been?"
"Almost eight months."
Xu Lan smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, that's coming soon. The birth date should be after the New Year. That's great, having two children at once. But it must be tiring. I'm scared when I see your belly. You look like you haven't gained any weight at all, but your belly is so big, it makes me tired just looking at it."
"It's okay. I don't do anything. When I'm tired, I sit down or lie down. When I'm not tired, I get up and move around." Tang Yiyi said with a smile.
"You can't be alone at this stage. You have to be careful. Xu Yan wants to dig a canal. But that's good. Su Ning and Lian Xiu will be moving there soon, so you'll have company."
Tang Yiyi nodded: "Well, if the eldest and second sisters-in-law move over, they will have company."
When Xu Lan came today, she told her three children that as the sun was about to set, Xu Lan was going back. Liu Xiaofeng packed a lot of clean vegetables for her.
"Eat it yourself."
Liu Xiaofeng was unwilling: "Take it back and give it to the children. The children didn't come today. Ask them to come over to play next Sunday when they have a day off. They only come once a year, and they won't recognize us by then."
In fact, Xu Lan’s husband lives not far away, but she is too busy and has no time to come over.
"Okay, I got it. Winter vacation will be here soon. I will bring them here for a few days then." Xu Lan's eyes were red. She also wanted to go back to her parents' home more often, but she was too busy and had no time at all.
"Go back. I won't keep you here any longer. The three kids are about to finish school."
"Then let's go." After saying something to the others, Xu Lan followed her husband away.
Liu Xiaofeng looked at their backs and wiped her tears. Xu Yan came back just in time and comforted her, "When the kids are on vacation, just ask them to come stay for a few days.
By then, there will be plenty of room at home, enough for us to live in.”
Liu Xiaofeng nodded and wiped away her tears.
"Take Yiyi back and have some rest. Come over for dinner tonight. There are so many dishes left from lunch. Eat them all. Otherwise, it would be a waste."
Xu Yan: "Okay, I understand."
Xu Yan took Tang Yiyi home to rest for a while, and then it got dark. It was pitch black outside at around five o'clock.
"Let's go eat in front?"
"good."
Tang Yiyi stood up and put on the brace she found in the space. Her waist felt a lot more relaxed as her belly was supported.
"Oh, it's so comfortable, it makes me feel a lot more relaxed."
Xu Yan took the jacket and put it on her, then buttoned it up.
"It's almost time. It will be fine after you give birth. When are mom and the others planning to come over? Before or after you give birth? I'll tidy up the kang over there, so they can just come and stay there when the time comes."
"Well, I don't know the exact time to come after the New Year. Isn't my eldest brother getting engaged before the New Year? They should be quite busy too. I'll write to them in a couple of days and ask."
Tang Yiyi thought that it was still early, even if it was premature, there was still a month to go, and she had no reaction at the moment, and since it was her first child, there was no need to rush.
"Well, I'll be busy for another week or so, so I'll be home with you then."
The river channel has been almost dug this month, and we just need another week to finish it.
"Well, let's go eat. I'm hungry."
Xu Yan took Tang Yiyi by the hand and walked forward. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a child crying at home.
Liu Xiaofeng and Su Ning were coaxing him patiently. When they went into the house, they saw Ai Min crying with tears streaming down his face, and Ai Guo's eyes were also red.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Tang Yiyi asked with concern.
Liu Xiaofeng laughed and sighed, with a hint of anger in her voice: "I don't know who is so talkative, what are they saying in front of the two children? Their parents are building a new house and don't want them anymore. Then they can only follow me and your father.
These two children started crying as soon as they walked in the door after school, and they haven’t been comforted yet.”
Uh, isn’t this just like when I was a kid, when people told me I was a child without parents?
I know this feeling, so I feel bad for my patriotism and love for the people. I stepped forward to comfort them, saying, "It's okay. Your parents have reserved a room for you. Don't listen to those bad people.
They are just envious of your family having built a new house. If they say anything tomorrow, you can yell back at them. If you have anything to say, come back and tell the adults. The adults will support you, okay?"
"Really? Do our parents still want us?" Ai Min's snot was about to flow into his mouth, and he was still sobbing as he spoke.
Su Ning plucked away the snot that was about to flow into his mouth and said, "Really? I won't abandon you. I have built all the cabinets for you. After Second Aunt comes back tomorrow, we will move to the new house.
Just like what Third Aunt said, if anyone says that again, I’ll curse them back.”
Xu Ming was not at home, so she was the only one who comforted him.
Ai Min stopped crying then and nodded foolishly with a simple and innocent smile on his face. Ai Guo saw Ai Min smiling and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
