Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything to blame them.
The thought of sharing a blanket with Gu Chengfeng that night made her cheeks flush slightly.
These days, Gu Chengfeng has had dark circles under her eyes every day, clearly indicating that she hasn't been getting enough rest, and she doesn't want to hold her back any longer.
But right now, there's no better solution.
I can only wait for the quilt to air out, or buy a new quilt tomorrow.
"It's alright, just be more careful next time!" Shen Sisi comforted him, then put down the basket, washed her hands, and went to hug Niu Niu.
I haven't seen Niu Niu all day, I miss her so much!
Chen Sisi opened her arms and hugged Niu Niu, showering her with kisses.
Niu Niu misses her mom too!
As far back as she can remember, she has never been separated from her mother for a whole day.
Although her grandmother was with her, and her father and Aunt Li played with her for a while, she still missed her mother very much.
"Mom, where did you go? Why are you back so late..."
Niu Niu's delicate voice was full of grievance and reproach.
She pondered for a moment, her heart softening: "Niu Niu, be good. Mommy went to work, and I'll be back soon."
Niu Niu looked at her, seemingly understanding but not quite. Work... is it to earn work points?
Mom works so hard.
I really want to grow up quickly and earn money for my mom so she won't be so tired.
Mom also has time to play with her now.
Niu Niu nestled in her mother's arms, rubbing against her like a kitten, and affectionately begged her mother to play with her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Sisi touched the little face in her arms with a troubled expression: "Sweetie, Mommy has to go cook now, otherwise we'll all be hungry later."
Niu Niu snorted and pointed at Gu Chengfeng, who had just entered the room: "Let Daddy cook, I want Mommy to play with me."
Is Gu Chengfeng cooking?
Chen Sisi's eye twitched. "Let's skip this!"
She still vividly remembers the meal that Gu Chengfeng cooked for Hei Zi and the others.
Seeing that the little one was very clingy, Gu Chengfeng took the initiative to come over, squat down, and open his arms to Niu Niu.
"Niu Niu, be good, Daddy will play with you!" Gu Chengfeng said as he reached out and took Niu Niu.
Niu Niu was initially reluctant, but after glancing back at her father's handsome face, she suddenly changed her mind.
"Okay, I want my dad to play hide-and-seek with me!"
"Okay, I'll look for you. You go hide..."
Gu Chengfeng himself is still like a big kid, and he loves playing with children the most.
Soon, bursts of laughter filled the air.
Chen Sisi lifted the curtain and walked into the kitchen, where she saw Xu Hongying washing vegetables by the sink. She called out, "Mom."
The sound startled Xu Hongying so much that she trembled and dropped the chives she was holding onto the ground.
"Who do we have here?" Xu Hongying squatted down and picked up the chives one by one.
Suddenly, a green expanse of grass filled Shen Sisi's vision.
Why are there so many chives?
There were chives on the stove, chives in the sink, and even a large bundle of chives in the vegetable basket in the cupboard.
This green is so unsettling.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Shen Sisi asked, puzzled.
Xu Hongying smiled mysteriously, her eyes narrowed. "What's all this talk? Eat more leeks, they're good for your health."
"Isn't this too much?"
If you didn't know better, you'd think they ate chives as their main food.
"Don't worry about that. Anyway, we'll be eating chives for the next few days." Xu Hongying excitedly shooed her out.
"You must be tired too, go and get some rest."
As he gazed at Xu Hongying's cheerful back, he couldn't help but feel that the old woman was up to something.
The kitchen didn't need her, and neither did Gu Chengfeng and Niu Niu. She was happy to have some peace and quiet, just watching the noisy scene in the house.
Isn't this the life she dreamed of?
In the small house lived a lively family, and laughter filled the air.
She vaguely recalled her childhood, when her father, like an eagle, would relentlessly chase after her.
"Alright, alright, stop playing around and go wash your hands and eat," Xu Hongying shouted loudly as she carried the dishes.
Chen Sisi jumped up and went to help bring out the food.
But seeing the table full of green vegetables—stir-fried chives with minced garlic, stir-fried eggs with chives, chive dumplings, and chive and meatball soup…
Everyone fell silent.
"Grandma, are we eating grass today?" Niu Niu blinked her big eyes, like a curious baby.
“Silly girl, what grass? This is clearly… this is good stuff!” Xu Hongying said, glaring at Gu Chengfeng.
Her dim-witted son looks quite strong, but it turns out he's all bark and no bite.
It's so embarrassing to say that we couldn't even last a few nights after getting married!
Xu Hongying specially prepared this large feast of chives. If Gu Chengfeng still can't get better tonight, she will take him to the hospital immediately tomorrow and have the doctor examine him.
Facing this table full of chives, Chen Sisi secretly thought to herself, "From now on, I should cook for her. My mother-in-law's tastes are just too strange."
On the contrary, Gu Chengfeng beside him had a strange expression on his face and his whole body exuded awkwardness.
When Gu Chengfeng saw the chives, he immediately understood everything.
His mother got worried after just one night without the bed being rocked.
At the same time, he was inwardly groaning.
He already suffers a lot every night, and if these chives are added on, it will surely kill him.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he glanced regretfully at the blankets in the yard.
There's no way around it, I'll have to take a few more cold showers tonight!
"Alright, alright, stop standing there like an idiot and hurry up and eat!"
