"Sister-in-law, I'll go to the market with you tomorrow morning."
"I haven't been home for several years. Let's bring more food this time."
"If there is fine grain, buy a few more sacks."
"Grandma is old, so eating more refined grains is good for her health."
Hearing what her younger sister said, Ling Xue nodded and said, "Okay, there are many people in our family, so we should buy as much as possible. We should have a rich New Year's Eve."
After staying at home for a while, Jiang Chuci got up and went back.
When the child saw his father was leaving again, he said reluctantly, "Dad, why are you leaving again?"
"My sister and I haven't slept with you for a long time. Can you please not leave?"
Jiang Chuci didn't want to leave, but he had things to do over there, so he could only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, Dad will be busy for more than ten days before he can come back to be with you."
"Dad promises that he will celebrate the New Year with you this year, okay?"
Jiang Ruotong pouted, "Then Daddy must keep his word and not lie to us."
Jiang Chuci said lovingly, "Okay, let's make a pinky promise. Whoever lies will be a puppy."
"Okay, let's make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."
After comforting the child, Ling Xue sent her man out.
Jiang Li took the two children upstairs.
Little Jiang Ruotong hugged Jiang Li's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Okay, but the kids have to wash their faces and feet before they can go to bed."
She liked both children from her second brother's family very much. Her bed was big, so there was nothing wrong with them sleeping together.
"Thank you, auntie. You are so kind."
"Baji."
Jiang Li, who was kissed, also kissed her niece back.
"Our Tongtong is so well behaved."
Seeing that her sister could sleep with her aunt, Jiang Ruosheng hesitated for a long time and asked, "Aunt, can I sleep with you too?"
"I'm a good sleeper."
Looking at such a sensible child, how could I bear to refuse him?
"Okay, both of you will sleep with your aunt tonight."
After getting a satisfactory response, the two little guys went to wash their faces and feet very consciously.
Then I changed into my sleeping clothes and climbed onto my aunt's big bed.
When Ling Xue returned to the mountain building, she saw that the two children had run to her younger sister's room. She said with a smile, "Will they disturb your rest if they sleep with you?"
"If not, come back to sleep with me."
Jiang Li hugged a new quilt and said with a smile: "No need, I'm not that hypocritical. I'm so happy that the child wants to be close to me."
"Sister-in-law, just go back and sleep. I'll take care of them."
"Mom, our sister will be good, just let us sleep with aunt."
Hearing her son speak, Ling Xue had no choice but to say, "Okay, but you are not allowed to wet the bed, okay?"
"Mom, my sister and I haven't wet the bed for a long time, don't worry."
"Yeah, good boy."
Then Jiang Li covered the two little ones with separate quilts and covered herself with another quilt.
"Aunt, can you tell us a story?"
"My brother and I like to listen to stories before going to bed."
Jiang Li smiled dotingly, "Okay, auntie will tell you a story from Journey to the West."
"Once upon a time, there was a mountain of flowers and fruits. In the mountain lived a monkey..."
The two children were curious at first when listening to the new story, but they were still young and closed their eyes after a while.
Hearing two even breathing sounds, Jiang Li knew that the two little ones had fallen asleep.
Then he tucked the quilt in for the two of them and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Back in the familiar environment, Jiang Li slept soundly that night.
Even the two children didn't get up in the middle of the night.
The next morning.
Ling Xue woke up early and saw that the three of them were sleeping soundly, so she did not disturb them.
I went downstairs alone and made breakfast quietly.
Over the years, she has developed good cooking skills, and when her parents are not busy, she will let them eat some.
Thinking that I haven’t been back for a long time, I might as well buy some New Year gifts and go back.
If her eldest brother and sister-in-law had not moved out, she would not want to go back at all.
I don't know how my eldest brother, who is such an outstanding person, could have such bad taste and find her a sister-in-law like that.
Fortunately, she is married now, so as long as she is nice to her parents, she will turn a blind eye.
Jiang Li and the two children were only awakened by the aroma of food.
Ling Xue also saw that it was almost time and prepared to go upstairs to call them to eat.
As a result, I saw the three of them were already brushing their teeth and washing their faces.
When the two children saw their mother, they said very obediently, "Good morning, Mom."
"Morning, babies."
"You didn't make a scene with your aunt last night, did you?"
Jiang Ruosheng puffed out her chest and said, "We are very well behaved, aren't we, Auntie?"
Jiang Li spit out the mouthwash in his mouth and said, "Yes, they are both so well behaved when they sleep. I have never seen such well-behaved children."
"How did you educate me so well, sister-in-law?"
Ling Xue smiled and said, "I didn't teach them much. They have been very well behaved since they were born."
"I used to see other people's children always crying, but these two basically never cried except when they were hungry or had a bowel movement."
"The aunt who came to take care of us during the confinement period was very envious."
Seeing how well behaved the two little ones were when they were young, Jiang Li envied them and said, "I hope my future children can be as well behaved as them."
"Otherwise, crying and whining will easily make me angry and I will be unable to resist beating them up."
She likes children, but she doesn't like naughty children.
Whenever she heard the child crying, she got a headache.
Afterwards, Ling Xue dressed the children in clean clothes, and the four of them went downstairs to have breakfast.
Tangyuan lay under the table, feeling very comfortable when being fed occasionally.
Just as they were eating, Jiang Li suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the gate.
Ling Xue's hearing was not as good as hers, so it was only after Jiang Li said someone was knocking on the door that she listened carefully and heard it.
"Little sister, you eat first. I'll go see who it is."
Jiang Li hummed, "Put on your cotton jacket, don't catch a cold."
"Okay, got it."
Ling Yuning stood outside the door holding two old hens and stared for a long time before waiting for his eldest sister to come out and open the door.
Seeing that it was her younger brother, Ling Xue was surprised and asked, "Why are you here so early?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
Ling Yuning smiled foolishly and said, "No, I exchanged two old hens with someone else this morning. I was afraid of being seen by others, so I came directly to your place."
"It's a good opportunity to see my nephew and niece. I miss them so much."
Ling Xue made way for him and said, "Come in quickly. We are still having breakfast. Come in quickly and eat together."
"You're still going out in such a cold weather. Are you really not afraid of the cold?"
Ling Yuning smiled and said, "I am a man with a strong fire, so I am naturally not afraid of the cold. I will stay here with you today, so please treat me well, big sister."
