"In the past, Meng Fu chose his neighbors carefully. When his daughter refused to learn, he broke her loom. Dou Yanshan had a righteous method. He taught his five daughters, and all of them became famous. Raising a child without teaching is the mother's fault. Teaching without strictness is the teacher's laziness..."
When Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige entered the Hua family in the east of the city, they heard the sound of students reading. It was similar to the "Three Character Classic" she had learned in her previous life, except that the boys and girls were swapped.
"Dad, are you busy?"
Mu Lige shouted into the yard, then pulled Hua Qingcheng into the kitchen in the front yard. After putting the eggs in the wooden cabinet, he hung the pork on a hook, which was tied to a rope hanging from the beam.
Hua's father Ye Maochun, who was busy in front of the stove, was overjoyed to see that it was his daughter's husband who had returned. He immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Qingcheng and Lige are back!"
This was the first time his daughter had returned home in four years. Ye Maochun couldn't help but feel mixed emotions and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
"Dad, haven't you had lunch yet?"
It's not even 2:15 pm now. It's too late to make lunch and too early to make dinner. Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Isn't this the wild rabbit you took last time? Your mother and I couldn't finish it, so we thought of stewing it and sending it to you."
Hua's father rubbed his black robe, wiped the charcoal dust off his hands, and turned around to pour water for his daughter and Xifu.
"Dad, don't be so busy. I'll just watch the fire. You and my wife can go to the main hall and rest for a while."
After Mu Lige finished speaking, he sat in front of the stove and looked at the fire, adding some firewood and fanning it from time to time.
Ye Maochun looked at his new husband with great satisfaction, then pulled Hua Qingcheng to the main hall.
The layout of the house where Hua's mother and father live is similar to that of the old Hua family house, but it was built later. Although it has earthen walls and gray tiles, the overall environment is much better than that of the old house.
The main hall was located in the center of the front yard, with the kitchen to the left and the utility room to the right. The largest room in the middle of the backyard had been converted into a classroom, where Hua's mother taught the children to read and write. The first wing on the left, closest to the front yard, was where Hua's mother and father lived. The wing behind it and the two wing rooms to the right were vacant.
"Qingcheng, did you remember what Dad told you last time about having children with Li Ge as soon as possible? People your age are already mothers of several children!"
Inside the main hall, sitting at the head of the table, Ye Maochun, eager for a grandchild, glanced at his daughter with a look of dismay. Women her age who only had one husband already had one or two children. Meanwhile, his daughter, with four husbands, hadn't even borne a single child.
"Dad! I know my limits!"
Hua Qingcheng was speechless. He was indeed her biological father. Why did he always urge her to have children every time they met? But last time, she had no such thoughts at all. As for now...
Hua Qingcheng imagined the four stunningly handsome men in her family, and stroked her big belly with an aunt's smile on her face. She couldn't help but feel a chill and got goose bumps all over her body.
Speaking of having children, Hua Qingcheng thought of the doubts hidden in her heart. It was a good opportunity to ask Hua's father now that there was no one else around.
"Dad, do you men hold your period in a cloth?"
"When a baby is born, where does it come from?"
When Ye Maochun heard his daughter's soul-searching question, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His old face flushed and he scolded:
"You kid! Your mind is full of chaos. What are you thinking about? Won't you know when Li Ge and the others have children in the future?"
"You'd better hurry up and have a baby. Don't put it off any longer. Give me and your mother a big fat granddaughter soon!"
Stumped by the question, Hua's father then used a "great shift of the universe" to turn Hua Qingcheng's problem back to the issue of inducing her to give birth.
Hua Qingcheng was speechless and heartbroken. It was you who gave birth to the baby, and it was also you who didn't allow her to ask!
At six in the afternoon, Hua Rongsheng finally finished teaching. After school, the students from the village all ran home, while the students from other villages sat quietly in the classroom, waiting for their families to pick them up.
When Hua's mother returned to the main hall door, she felt a little sad to see that her daughter, who had never stepped into the house in four years, had returned, but she still maintained the demeanor of a stern teacher.
“Cough cough cough…”
Hua's father in the main room heard the noise and looked towards the door. It turned out that it was his stubborn old woman who was pretending to cough to attract his attention.
"Old lady, have all the students gone home?"
"Well... there are still a few waiting for their families to pick them up."
Hua Qingcheng glanced outside upon hearing the voices, and immediately saw a woman in her mid-thirties approaching. She wore a light blue, cross-collared tunic, an indigo skirt, and her hair was styled in a single, spiral bun, topped with a willow hairpin. Her gait was steady, her manners graceful and respectful, though her expression was a little subtle.
"Call me mom!"
Hua's father pushed the stunned Hua Qingcheng.
"Mother~"
Hua Qingcheng shouted at the woman in a very awkward manner.
Hua Rongsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she felt a little at a loss as she looked at her daughter who had completely changed.
"Well, I'm glad you're back."
After sitting down at the head of the main hall, Hua Rongsheng looked at Hua Qingcheng and asked, "Do you know your mistake?"
Hua Qingcheng was also helpless. The original owner's blame kept falling on her head, but she could only bite the bullet and take it.
"Yes, mother! Qingcheng was ignorant before and made you two worry!"
"Now Qingcheng has realized her mistake. I will not make such a mistake again. I will live a good life with my husbands down to earth."
Ye Maochun couldn't help shedding tears when he heard this. He scolded Hua Rongsheng, "You old woman, your child has finally come back, why are you still so sullen?"
