"Mom..." Xiao Dabao was heartbroken. He thought that these cloths and candies were bought for him and Shitou.
Zhang Hongna knocked Tiezhu and Tiedan's hands away and said, "Go over there to eat the candy. Don't dirty the cloth."
"Little sister, how many points do I need to earn to get this?"
Xiao Guowei was so surprised that he forgot to eat.
"Not much. Qi Keyan sent me some cloth coupons. It would be a waste if I don't use them."
"Hmph!" Principal Laoshuan, who had been silent the whole time, slammed the table.
"Xiaoxiao, you're married, and you have Dabao and Shitou at home. You can't do anything now, and you can't earn a penny, but you spend money so lavishly. I... no matter how much wealth I have, it's not enough for you to squander!"
When Principal Laoshuan got angry, the whole room fell silent.
Xiao Jiahua listened silently.
It was just a few pieces of cloth. If the old father knew that his daughter had squandered her son-in-law's monthly salary in one day, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
Xiao Jiahua knew that Xiao Laoshuan was a typical strict father, with the traditional preference for boys over girls in his bones, but essentially he was doing it for the good of his own daughter, so he didn't mind.
"Dad, we can earn more money if we spend it. The children can wear old clothes every year. In a few months, our eldest brother's baby will be born, and we will have to hold a full-month banquet. When guests come, it will look more respectable."
Zhang Hongna quickly said, "Yes, yes, the fortune teller said that my baby is definitely a boy, so the full moon banquet must be held in a grand manner!"
Speaking of the elders' fourth child, Principal Laoshuan's expression finally softened.
"But Xiaoxiao, if you buy these cloths, can you make clothes yourself?" Cui Lifen frowned. She knew that her daughter had not touched needle and thread since she started school.
"Ah, this?" Xiao Jiahua was annoyed. "I want to buy ready-made clothes, but they are not sold in town."
"Why buy ready-made clothes? They are so expensive. Just lay the fabric aside and I'll make them!" Zhang Hongna took the job right away.
After this battle, she had already brought her stupid and wealthy sister-in-law into the united front.
"Xiaoxiao, it's not easy for you to take care of two kids. I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home. If you have any sewing work, give it to me in the future."
This is what Xiao Jiahua was waiting for, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
Cui Lifen and Xiao Laoshuan were standing nearby, staring in amazement.
How come the daughter and the eldest daughter-in-law, who were once incompatible, suddenly became good sisters?
.
Little Shitou was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. Xiao Jiahua politely declined the offer of dinner and took the two children back to her own home.
As soon as she entered the house, she felt a warm and wet feeling on her sleeves... The little girl couldn't stop herself and peed in her pants?
"OMG! My clothes are so dirty!" Xiao Jiahua was shocked.
The girl, who had no experience in taking care of children, didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
This time it was Dabao who disliked her.
"Mom, what's the big deal? It's normal for my brother to wet the bed, isn't it?"
He took the stone with ease, put it on the chair, and helped him change his pants.
When little Dumpling slowly woke up, he saw himself being thrown away by Xiao Jiahua in disgust.
The cool feeling of the little butt made him realize that he had made another “unforgivable” mistake.
The memory of being beaten in the past suddenly came to his mind, and the little girl burst into tears out of fear.
In addition to the school's Dabao's daily tantrums, Xiao Shitou's crying resounded through the night sky, without any logic or order.
It was as deafening as thunder and lightning, and it came without a pause.
It seemed as if all the grievances in the world could not compare to the feeling of being "abandoned" at this moment.
Very good, in just one afternoon, this vicious bitch successfully made two children cry.
"Xiao Dabao, try to persuade your brother first!" Xiao Jiahua took off his coat weakly.
Xiao Dabao covered his ears with one hand, "Shi Tou, stop crying. You just wet the bed. Put on your pants first!"
It was no use. Little Stone cried even louder, "Liang, Liang, you are bad, don't, Shitou, brother, you are bad..."
From the intermittent accusations, Xiao Jiahua finally understood why he was crying.
It’s not because of wetting his pants, but because a child was “abandoned” by the adult he relied on the most.
Crying was his only way to express his hurt.
This little thing looks silly, but actually, even at such a young age, he is very good at reading people's expressions, so he is so obedient sometimes.
He is just a child after all. When his expectations are dashed, the more obedient he is, the more desperate he becomes.
For the first time, Xiao Jiahua felt sorry for the child.
Xiao Jiahua found some dry cotton cloth, gently wrapped the small stone, and held it in his arms.
"Xiao Enyou, why are you crying? Are you blaming me for leaving this morning and only taking my brother with me, but leaving you at grandma's house?"
Xiao Jiahua said softly, "But adults also have their own feelings, and it is impossible for them to accompany you all the time."
"No, bad..." The little head shook like a rattle and struggled desperately.
Xiao Jiahua hugged him even tighter and comforted him patiently.
"Okay, I was wrong today. I picked you up too late. But I promise that no matter where I send you, I will take you home and I will not abandon Xiao Shitou, okay?"
Her tone was too soft.
Gradually, Little Stone stopped crying loudly. He buried his head in his father's neck and breathed in and out.
Xiao Jiahua whispered softly: "Don't cry, Shitou. Mom will make you some malted milk."
Xiao Dabao looked at them with a sad face.
When he was crying miserably and rolling on the ground, she stood by and watched indifferently, without any of the gentleness and patience she has now.
It's very double standard.
Forget it, if you are the eldest brother, you should act like an eldest brother...
Knock knock, there were two knocks on the door outside the yard.
It’s so late, who could it be?
Xiao Jiahua put the stone on the kang and went out to open the door.
"Aunt Qin?" It turned out to be the neighbor next door.
Wang Guiqin stood outside the school's house, holding her four or five-year-old granddaughter's hand, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xiao Jiahua reacted: "Aunt Qin, I'm sorry, is it because the child is crying too loudly and disturbing you?"
Wang Guiqin glanced inside with a look of pity on her face.
"Xiaoxiao, since you call me aunt, I'll be more generous and say a few words to you. The children are not your own, and they haven't done anything wrong. Can you... stop beating them?"
The little girl at her knees also started crying: "Auntie Xiaoxiao, please, stop hitting Shitou. Shitou is very good when he is young!"
Xiao Jiahua: “…Ah?”
