At this time, the little girl no longer had the excitement she had before, and her expression was full of flattery.
She is different from He Mingze. That child is so smart that she has known for a long time that the original owner does not love them, so she has no expectations of the original owner.
But He Qingqing had been beaten and scolded before, and still wanted her mother to be nicer to her.
The little girl's fingers were clenched white, and her big eyes like black grapes were watery. Song Li felt so soft-hearted.
She leaned over and kissed the little girl's chubby cheek, "It's true, Mommy will love you dearly in the future."
"Hehe...Qingqing baby, you will love your mother very much in the future!" He Qingqing hugged Song Li's neck and kissed her back, then rushed into the house with a red face.
"Brother, Mommy kissed me and called me Qingqing baby. Brother, do you want to call me Zeze baby?"
She is so happy, her mother is so gentle, she likes her current mother so much.
Qingqing spun around excitedly and almost bumped into He Mingze.
"don't want!"
He Mingze avoided her with disgust, and packed his and his sister's luggage with a stern face, his eyes slightly closed and red.
He didn't want to be called baby by that woman, nor did he want that woman to kiss him.
She must be afraid that her father will divorce her, so she pretends to be like that. Once her father leaves, she will beat them even more severely.
He Mingze pursed his lips tightly. He would never believe her again.
......
After the brigade distributed the meat, the uncles and aunts asked their children to give return gifts to Song Li.
Song Li's reputation in the village was so great that everyone hated her. The children would drop their things and run away as if she were some kind of monster, which made Song Li laugh and cry.
But her reputation will gradually improve, so she is not in a hurry.
A pot of sauerkraut, a bowl of cornmeal, two big radishes, four potatoes, three sweet potatoes...it didn't matter what, they filled up the He family's kitchen in scattered pieces.
Song Li grabbed a handful of sauerkraut and prepared to make sauerkraut pork ribs.
Come to think of it, she hasn't eaten normal food since the apocalypse, and she doesn't know if her cooking skills have deteriorated.
She washed the big bones and broke them in the middle with a knife. The bones Captain Zhao gave her had a lot of meat on them, filling up the entire pot.
Song Li remembered that there were still some seasonings in her space, and with a thought, she stood in the space.
However, the scene before her left her stunned.
The original ten-square-meter space has doubled in size, with an extra piece of black soil on the edge.
The bottle of hydrogels shattered, and the water inside flowed into the soil, and the entire land emitted a green light.
It is rumored that the water condensation beads have powerful healing abilities, and the moistened soil will produce spiritual power, and the plants grown can help those with special abilities to advance faster.
But this is just a rumor. The soil in the apocalypse has been contaminated by nuclear waste water, and the plants grown there will only mutate.
However, Song Li suddenly wanted to try it. There happened to be potatoes and sweet potatoes in the kitchen. She cut them into small pieces with a knife and buried them in the soil. After waiting for a few minutes and finding nothing unusual, she had to take the seasonings out of the space.
"Mom, can Qingqing baby help you light the fire?"
As soon as Song Li came out, she saw Qingqing walking in with her little body twisted, looking like she was asking for praise.
Song Li pinched her little face and said, "Okay, thank you, Qingqing baby."
The little girl covered her red face with her hands, her eyes sparkling, "You're welcome, Mom!"
Outside the door, He Mingze listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and silently hugged his little bag tightly.
He is not envious, really!
Although Qingqing is young, she is very good at making a fire.
Song Li stewed sauerkraut and pork ribs, and made a few pancakes with cornmeal.
The door of the thatched hut was pushed open, and Song Chenglin walked in carrying a bag of flour.
"Little sister, what are you doing? It smells so good?" He was drooling at the smell before he even entered the door.
"Uncle San, my mom made these pickled pork ribs. They're so delicious!"
Qingqing is now her mother's favorite. She starts praising her mother's food before she even eats it.
"Oh, little sister, when did you learn this? It smells even better than the food in the state-owned restaurant."
He doesn't even know his own sister. She doesn't even help when the oil tank falls over. She usually goes to the state-owned restaurant to spend the allowance from her brother-in-law. They never cook at home. If her mother's house wasn't close by, the two children would have starved to death.
"I'm studying and going to school. I just happened to have some meat so I wanted to try it. Bring a pot back for your parents to try later."
Song Li also knew that her behavior was very abnormal, but she was not the original owner and could not act according to the original owner's temperament. She could only let her family get used to it slowly.
"Little sister, tell me, are you having a hysterical fit of fear? Or did your brother-in-law bully you?" Song Chenglin put down the bag of flour and looked fierce.
It must be that He Linyuan wanted to divorce, which scared his sister. He was not optimistic about this marriage in the beginning. He Linyuan took advantage of his sister and insisted that she was forced.
Bah! With his sister's tiny body, could she possibly beat him? It was clearly He Linyuan who was taking advantage and acting like a spoiled brat.
The more Song Chenglin thought about it, the angrier he became, completely forgetting that his sister could kill a wild boar with her bare hands.
"No one bullied me. I just felt that I was such a jerk before, causing my parents and you to worry about me. My two children also had a hard life. So I thought about doing more work in the future so that you and I can live a good life."
Song Li's words almost made Song Chenglin cry. His little sister must have suffered so much injustice that she could say such words.
Song Chenglin blinked his sore eyes and rubbed his sister's head. "Okay, okay, I'm waiting to enjoy your blessing, but don't work too hard. I'll take care of anything for you."
He didn't take his sister's words to heart. In their Song family, sisters were to be spoiled. In the future, he would earn more work points and buy meat for his sister.
"Yeah!" Song Li nodded heavily. The original owner had such a spoiled personality, but she had so many relatives who loved her. Isn't this a kind of happiness?
She sniffed and turned around, "I'll get you a basin."
Song Chenglin couldn't persuade her, so he could only carry a big bowl of pickled cabbage and pork ribs home.
He was grinning foolishly the whole way home, and the smell of meat felt a little unreal. Was this really made by his sister?
......
It was almost twelve o'clock when He Linyuan came back. Qingqing ran over and chirped around him like a little sparrow.
"Dad, you're back. Mom made some pickled pork ribs. They smell so good. Come wash your hands and have dinner."
He Mingze, who was originally in the house, also ran out and looked at the man expectantly, "Dad, are we leaving now?"
He didn't want to stay any longer, even though his stomach was growling with hunger and his mouth was watering with greed.
Looking at his son's eyes, He Linyuan said with some difficulty, "I may... not be able to take you away."
He Mingze's face instantly fell, "Dad, why?"
"I have to go on a mission, so I can't get a divorce for now. Wait until I come back after the New Year, and dad will take you away, okay?"
He Linyuan knew that his son was smart, so he discussed the matter with him in a gentle tone.
It was originally his fault. He made a promise to the child without confirming it in advance. He thought divorce would be easy, but when he called to apply for a divorce report, the political commissar scolded him.
It turned out that Xiao Hongling's words had already reached the army. If he divorced now, it would confirm his affair with Military Doctor Yang. He could ignore his own future, but he could not implicate others. He also had two children, and they would be criticized in the future.
So after weighing the pros and cons, this marriage cannot be divorced.
"All right."
He Mingze pursed his lips, feeling very lost.
It was only November, and he still had three months to stay with that woman.
He Mingze lowered his head, but Qingqing was very happy.
"Dad, can we celebrate the New Year with Mom? Mom said she would buy little leather boots for Qingqing and make fried meatballs for her."
"Qingqing baby?" He Linyuan raised his eyebrows.
Qingqing covered her red face and said, "It was Mommy who called me. Mommy even kissed me. Daddy, do you want Mommy to kiss you? Grandma said that Mommy made you angry, and you will be happy if I coax her into bed."
"Dad, how do I coax you into bed?"
"Bang!"
As soon as Song Li walked to the door, she heard her daughter's explosive words, and she almost bumped into the door with the rice bowl in her hand.
"Qingqing, you're just talking nonsense. I'm not trying to trick you!"
Song Li hurriedly explained that He Linyuan hated the original owner seducing him the most. The original owner had tried to get into his bed before, but he threw her out every time.
Because of the coercion that night, Song Li always felt a little guilty. If she hadn't been tempted by his beauty, He Linyuan wouldn't have been so miserable.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. If you don't believe me, I can move to my parents' house."
The woman's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were crystal clear, and there was no trace of infatuation or calculation in them.
He Linyuan stared at her for a long time, and a dark light flashed across his deep eyes.
"Need not."
He didn't care whether she was pretending or really wanted to change for the better, he just wanted his two children to live a better life.
"I have to go on a mission before the New Year and won't be able to take care of the children. I'll have to trouble you to take care of them for a few more months. After the New Year, I will take them with me to join the army."
