Seeing that she had made someone angry, Hu Yingying hurriedly tried to please Li Lin and apologized repeatedly.
"Don't say these nice things to me, Hu Yingying. I came all the way here with my children to serve you with a kind heart, and you actually said that I was nagging. I'm so sad!"
Li Lin held her heart with both hands, pretending to be heartbroken, then she lay on the kang, being careful not to touch the child, and began to roll around.
When Hu Yingying saw that look just now, she thought she was angry.
But now seeing her weird look, I knew she was teasing me.
While feeling relieved, he lay back and looked at the man who was playing tricks on the kang with a raised eyebrow without saying a word.
"You, you are still like this, ahhh, I'm so mad."
Li Lin was furious when she saw that Hu Yingying didn't coax her but just looked like she was watching a show.
But she knew that the other person was in poor health, so she just said it and didn't do anything.
Although the two of them were arguing, neither of them was angry.
Later, seeing that it was getting too late, they stopped chatting and lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Lin fed her child in the middle of the night, coaxed the child to sleep, and slept until dawn.
When I woke up the next day, I stretched, opened my eyes, and looked at the two people playing happily next to me.
With a smile on her face, she said: "You two got up really early. Are you hungry, sister-in-law? I'll go make dinner."
"I'm not hungry yet, but I've fed Dandan the milk powder. If you don't want to get up, just sleep for a while." Hu Yingying heard this and shook her head while teasing Dandan.
"No, I'm awake now, I'll get up right away."
As Li Lin spoke, she sat up, put on her clothes, folded her quilt, put on her shoes, went to the fire, washed up first, then cooked millet porridge, boiled two eggs, and fried some cabbage slices.
The two of them raised a child and spent more than half a month in this uneventful manner.
After Hu Yingying recovered, she went back to work. Li Lin had nothing to do, so she stayed in the staff quarters every day except taking the children out for a walk when the sun came out and it was warm.
Because the weather was too cold, no one wanted to stay outside, so I didn’t get to know many of the sisters-in-law in the family compound.
Li Lin was so bored that she could only cook various delicious foods at home every day to make Hu Yingying and Dandan fat and white.
Until spring came and flowers bloomed, Li Feng still hadn't returned from his mission.
Seeing this, Li Lin had no choice but to comfort her sister-in-law while teaching Dandan how to walk.
That day a car went to the city to resupply supplies, and all the sisters-in-law in the family compound went out.
Li Lin also handed the child to Hu Yingying and took two sacks and a backpack to get on the bus.
Everyone was already familiar with each other by this time. Seeing that Li Lin was still holding a sack, they were all shocked and asked: "Sister Li, how much are you going to buy? You even took two sacks?"
"My sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger. I was thinking that if I come across something good during my trip to the city, I'll buy some more."
After saying this, Li Lin smiled and said, "Besides, my sisters-in-law know that my child is getting older, so I should buy him some food to help him grind his teeth."
"That's right. Teacher Hu's belly is getting bigger and bigger. He needs to eat more good food to replenish it."
When the sisters-in-law heard this, they all nodded repeatedly, but they couldn't help sighing in their hearts that Teacher Hu had such a good sister-in-law.
Li Lin didn't care what they thought. She leaned on the car, swaying all the way to the city in a daze.
Without waiting for the group of sisters-in-law, he got out of the car to ask for directions, and then went to sweep the place at high speed.
