Zhou Qingcao took the initiative to comfort Lin Cuihua, which laid the foundation for reconciliation between the sisters-in-law.
In the end, it was Mrs. An who told her to stop crying, and only then did Lin Cuihua stop crying.
"It should be a happy thing that you brothers can get together today. Why are you crying? You won't cry away all the good things." Although Old Lady An complained, her heart seemed to be clear as clouds and fog dissipated.
The fact that Lin Cuihua still knew how to cry shows that she has faced up to her mistakes. I just hope that she can completely correct her mistakes in the future and not make the same mistakes again.
There was a large pot of chicken soup in the pot. Of course, most of it was soup, and the little meat was served in half a bowl to Mr. Shen.
There was also a chicken stewed with chestnuts and potato vermicelli, a big pot full of it.
There are also peanuts, stir-fried cabbage, cold-mixed black fungus and dried vegetables, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions.
It can be said that although it was Brother An who treated everyone to the meal, the two chickens that An Hongdou brought back made a great contribution to the meal.
Since there were too many people, we divided the table into two.
Fortunately, Brother An’s house is a newly built house with the same layout as the houses in the village, but the space seems larger because there are fewer people.
The big table was placed in the main hall of the main room, and the small table was placed in the empty west room, so that adults and children sat separately and it was less crowded.
When it was time for dinner, the second and third babies had fallen asleep. Only the eldest baby was still energetic and had to be held in someone's arms.
After the food was served, everyone was seated. At a command from Old Lady An, the children started eating.
When children eat, they wolf down their food. One reason is that the food is delicious, and the other is that they want to go play quickly after finishing the meal.
At the adults' table, Mrs. An sat at the head, and all the adults sat upright, except for Chen Xiangzhi who held Dabao and made occasional "ah" sounds.
Second Brother An took out the wine and poured some for everyone, but he skipped An Hongdou and Wang Dahahua.
One was pregnant and the other was breastfeeding.
Zhou Qingcao thought about it and said that he couldn't drink, so he pushed it to Brother An Si.
Thinking of the dizzy feeling she had the last time she drank, An Hongdou felt strangely comfortable, so she said, "Brother, can you give me some too?"
"You can't." Before Brother An could speak, Mrs. An directly refused, "You are already a mother and you still have to breastfeed. Why are you drinking wine?"
An Hongdou thought about it and it made sense. Only Sanbao was still breastfeeding. If she drank the wine and it was absorbed into her breast milk, wouldn't it be the same as Sanbao also having to drink?
However, seeing that the child is almost five or six months old, although he still looks a little thinner, there is nothing wrong with his body. I think it is about time to wean him.
The village was poor and the children had little to eat. Many of them were not weaned until they were two or three years old. Some were even weaned until they refused to eat anything. An Hongdou was not prepared for that.
It is not good to wean the child if he is too old. What's more, she has a supply of milk powder and will not lack nutrition at all.
At the beginning, it was because Sanbao was in poor health and the child was too young, so she did not dare to give him ginseng water directly, so she took it herself and let him drink milk.
Now, Sanbao seems to be in good health. Besides, if he keeps drinking breast milk, adults have to avoid certain foods, which is quite uncomfortable, so let’s stop him from drinking breast milk if possible.
Just as An Hongdou was daydreaming, she heard Mrs. An say, "It's been a few years since your father passed away. Although our family is not very wealthy, the children are all very smart and healthy. I don't ask for much. I just hope that you brothers and sisters can work together and be safe and healthy."
After these words were spoken, Lin Cuihua and Li Xiaomi lowered their heads instantly, also out of shame.
But today's meeting was obviously not a criticism meeting, but it was more important to deepen and maintain family ties.
Mrs. An had made a perfect start. As the eldest son of the family, and the one who made the mistake had his own wife, Brother An was obviously very frustrated at this time, "Mom, it's all us who let you down."
Second Brother An also lowered his head.
"Life is long, and who can avoid making mistakes? It doesn't matter if we make mistakes, as long as we correct them in the future." Mrs. An was very satisfied with their performance, including that of her two daughters-in-law.
She didn't expect them to be more sensible. As long as they stopped making trouble in the future, she would be satisfied.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Lin Cuihua and Li Xiaomi look at each other and make their decision.
The two stood up at the same time, raised their glasses, and said to Fourth Brother An, "Fourth brother, Qingcao, we two sisters-in-law thought wrongly some time ago. We were greedy and did the wrong thing. Now I think it's really embarrassing. Changyue's matter has also made me think clearly. Sister-in-law is not a good sister-in-law, but sister-in-law still has to be thick-skinned and ask you to give us another chance so that we can make up for this mistake in the future."
After Lin Cuihua finished speaking, Li Xiaomi followed up with a sentence, "Second sister-in-law is not good at speaking, but what the eldest sister-in-law said is what the second sister-in-law wanted to say. Please give us another chance."
No one would believe that Li Xiaomi can't speak.
But at this time, no one would say it directly.
Where there are many people, there are conflicts. No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes in their life, but for a family, as long as they know their mistakes and can correct them, they should not hold on to them.
Otherwise, this family will break up sooner or later.
Fourth Brother An was an honest man. Even if they did not admit their mistakes, he would not say anything. Moreover, today's incident gave him enough face.
Immediately, Fourth Brother An also stood up awkwardly, and quickly shook his head and said it didn't matter.
Zhou Qingcao couldn't bear to see him look so silly, so she quickly added, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, what you said is serious. We are all family, there is really no need to be like this."
Having said that, the seriousness with which she investigated the matter was definitely not as nonchalant as she appears now.
It was only because the other party's attitude softened that he barely gained the upper hand, so he softened as well.
Lin Cuihua didn't know what to think, but she said it very well, "Sister-in-law doesn't know how to speak, why don't we just drink this cup, and let's forget about the unhappiness in the past. In the future, we must learn to be a good sister-in-law."
Seeing the perfect reconciliation among the three families, Mrs. An nodded with satisfaction.
This meal was quite enjoyable.
After it was over, An Hongdou followed Old Lady An to Fourth Brother An's house.
Mrs. An was rarely happy and had drunk some wine. She felt dizzy and even walked with a groggy look on her face.
After he got home, he drank the glass of water that An Hongdou poured for him, and he felt much better.
"Hongdou, are you really sure you want to leave?" Old Mrs. An asked this question, not knowing whether she should be happy or sad.
