Chapter 24 She has been raised astray
" "Her biological mother was here, but it was Xiao Li who told me about this and asked me to take Xiaoxi to buy cloth. This must be because Xiao Li and Qin Lan had a quarrel. It was also because Xiao Li loved Xiaoxi that he swallowed his pride and came to me. This was the first time Xiao Li begged me like this, how could I not agree, not to mention that I felt sorry for Xiaoxi, who was wearing such thick clothes in such hot weather and was getting patched. When
I went to her house that day, Xiao Qin was embarrassed as soon as I finished speaking, perhaps because she felt she had lost face. But I still did it, because I like Xiaoxi so much. If this was our child, I would be so happy. I don’t know what Xiao Qin is thinking, his heart has grown astray."
"Tingting was raised by Qin Lan since she was a child, and I’m afraid she has feelings for her. "Although Master Chen was also feeling emotional, he couldn't do anything about this matter.
Xiaoxi naturally didn't know what the two were sighing about. When she and Li Hongbin returned home, she collected the clothes on the clothesline in the corridor and gave one of the pajamas to Li Hongbin, "Dad, this is the pajamas I made for you. Try it tonight and see if you can wear it. It has been washed."
"You, you made pajamas for me? "Li Hongbin was stunned for a moment, then slowly reached out his hand to take the pajamas, and then gestured on his body with some excitement. It was a cotton short-sleeved shirt and knee-length shorts, which were loose and soft, and looked very comfortable.
He didn't have pajamas, and at night he wore the loose training clothes issued by the army. But they were definitely not as comfortable as cotton. Xiaoxi noticed this and decided to make pajamas for Li Hongbin. Of course, there was another reason.
"This is easy to make, just right for practicing." Xiaoxi smiled.
Li Hongbin, who received the clothes made by his family for the first time, could feel Xiaoxi's intentions. It was not because of simplicity. He said happily: "I'll try it tonight. "
Li Wenting, who heard what they said, pursed her lips and whispered a word of flattery.
In the evening, Qin Lan was sitting in front of the mirror and applying facial cream on her face. Suddenly, she saw Li Hongbin walking in through the mirror. She immediately straightened her back and said, "Where did this pajamas come from?" Could it be that one of his daughters made it for him? She knew that some women just wanted to marry a military officer, and didn't care whether he had a wife and children.
Li Hongbin smiled and said, "Xiaoxi made it for me." He walked in front of Qin Lan to show her, "Is it well made?"
Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, "Only made it for you?"
Li Hongbin was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "Why, are you jealous? Do you think your daughter didn't make it for you?"
Qin Lan snorted, "I have a lot of pajamas, I don't need pajamas."
Li Hongbin sighed, "Xiaoxi is a very sentimental person. If you are good to Xiaoxi, she will be good to you too. " If you treat her the same way you treat Tingting, Xiaoxi will be filial to you when she grows up."
"You asked me to treat her the same way as I treat Tingting, but have you treated her the same way as I treat Tingting?" "
I also want to treat them equally, but you forced me to pay more attention to Xiaoxi. Think about what you have done to Xiaoxi since she came. If I didn't pay more attention to Xiaoxi, the child would be so wronged, and I'm afraid there would be a shadow in her heart. Not to mention that she suffered so much before."
"Look, you admit that you are better to Xiaoxi. I think you should take care of Xiaoxi and I'll take care of Tingting in the future, and see who of us will have a more filial daughter." Qin Lan turned her head and continued to wipe her neck. "You are so proud of a set of pajamas. In the future, Tingting will be filial to me when she grows up. There are much better things than this. "No matter how successful Xiaoxi is, how much can she achieve? No matter how filial she is, she can only have a set of pajamas. "
But she didn't say this, because if she did, Li Hongbin would have to quarrel with her again.
Li Hongbin felt that he couldn't continue talking to Qin Lan, "Listen to what you are saying, is it really that unreasonable? Is this something a mother can say?"
"What's wrong with what I said? Why don't you blame Xiaoxi for being unpleasant? Think about it, how many quarrels have we had since she came? I think she has been spoiled by that country guy, and she can't be taught back even if we want to. It's better to focus all your attention on Tingting. "
Li Hongbin looked at Qin Lan with great disappointment, remained silent for a long time, and turned away.
He went to Xiaoxi and gave her another big reunion note, "How can you use your pocket money to buy things for your grandson?"
Xiaoxi felt that this father really gave her money all the time, "Dad, you just gave me money a few days ago, you don't have to give me more."
"If you can't use it all, just save it for yourself."

The next day, Qin Lan took Li Wenting to her brother's house. Her brother worked in a steel plant in Ningcheng.
Li Wenhua told Xiaoxi the news in the morning, "Second sister, what are we going to eat in the morning? Should we buy it in the cafeteria or make it ourselves?" As he said that, he spread out his palm, "This is the ticket and money given by mom. "
Xiaoxi was stunned when she heard the news, then she walked to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. There was a big bowl of eggs, flour, a piece of bacon and sausage, and other miscellaneous seasonings.
There were some vegetables on the chopping board next to it.
"Let's cook porridge and fry scallion pancakes ourselves."
Li Wenhua actually said this because he wanted to eat the meal made by his second sister, otherwise he would have gone to the cafeteria to get food long ago. After hearing this, he nodded hurriedly.
"But you have to help light the fire and wash the dishes. "
Li Wenhua thought for a while and nodded immediately.
Xiaoxi cooked sweet potato porridge. She kneaded flour and added scallions, rolled it into a cake shape, and fried it in oil in a coal stove pot beside her. She also steamed two bowls of steamed eggs.
Li Wenhua was drooling beside her.
While eating, Li Wenhua drank the porridge with a sob, "Second sister, the porridge you cook is better than mom's. This scallion pancake is delicious too, it's almost as good as grandma grandson's. Fortunately, mom asked me to go with them, but I didn't go."
At this point, he paused, glanced at Xiaoxi, and saw that she was concentrating on eating the egg custard and didn't care about what he said, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Second sister, what do you say we should eat for lunch? "
Xiaoxi swallowed a mouthful of the tender steamed egg, and her heart was soothed. "Let's buy some spare ribs and fish later, stew the spare ribs and make some braised fish in the afternoon." She didn't care at all that Qin Lan only took Li Wenting and Li Wenhua to her brother's house. On the contrary, she felt that it was particularly comfortable to be able to cook freely when they were not at home.
Qin Lan was much better than Wang Juhua. She would not lock the cupboard and gave Li Wenhua money for food for a few days. This kind of life is simply an ideal life.
Li Wenhua wanted to go buy food right away after hearing this. "What about lunch?"
"Let's have braised eggplant and some loofah and egg soup for lunch. We'll eat the spare ribs and fish when Dad comes back in the evening. "
Li Wenhua had no objection and accompanied Xiaoxi to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab spare ribs and fish.
Meanwhile, Qin Lan took Li Wenting to her brother Qin Hong's house.
Wang Hailu, the sister-in-law, who was washing clothes in the corridor, saw her aunt Qin Lan and niece Li Wenting carrying large and small bags. She was stunned at first, then smiled and greeted them, "Hey, what brings you here?"
In the room, two children were fighting. When they saw the package in Qin Lan's hand, they rushed over.
Wang Hailu patted her daughter on the back and scolded her with a smile: "Don't call me aunt. You only know how to stare at the good things in your aunt's hand."
Qin Lan waved her hand indifferently and put the snacks and clothes she bought on the table. "There are a few sets of clothes in it for Yangyang and Meimei. Try them later to see if they can fit. If not, you can change them."
Wang Hailu's smile deepened, and the two children's cheers became louder.
Li Wenting behind Qin Lan pursed her lips. If it weren't for Xia Xiaoxi, her mother would not have brought her to this uncle's house who only knew how to beg for money.
At night, lying on a temporary bed made of several long benches outside, Wang Hailu asked Qin Hong in a low voice, "Why did your sister suddenly come to our house? Did she quarrel with Captain Li?"
Qin Hong nodded in a low voice, and told her that Li Wenting was not his sister and brother-in-law's biological daughter, that he found his biological daughter, and that he quarreled with Li Hongbin.
Wang Hailu almost screamed, but Qin Hong held her mouth, "Keep your voice down."
"Does your sister have a problem with her brain? Li Wenting is not her biological daughter anymore, so why keep her? Isn't it expensive? She is angry with your brother-in-law because of her biological daughter. I really can't understand it." Wang Hailu continued in a low voice, "She didn't bring her biological niece to her uncle's house to get acquainted, but brought her fake daughter to her uncle's house. Most people can't understand your sister's brain."
