Sister-in-law Chi was holding Chi Tang and trying to comfort her, but the child was still crying loudly.
In his anxiety, Old Man Chi was about to call a doctor.
Who knew that as soon as Chi Tangyi took Chi Wuhu's hand, she stopped crying.
Her little face was flushed, and she kept hiccuping.
"Hiccup~~"
Ugh, I hate it.
Everyone was stunned.
"Is Tangtang getting close to Xiao Wu?"
Chi Wuhu proudly and carefully carried his younger sister over, while Old Man Chi and Chi Dashan kept instructing him and watching him, afraid that he would drop Tangtang.
Chi Wuhu was only ten years old, and with the mind of a young boy, he was very proud: "My little sister still likes me the most!"
Otherwise, why would she cry no matter who holds her?
Why do you stop crying as soon as you touch yourself?
Chi Tang pressed herself tightly against Xiao Wu's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
For some reason, as she was sleeping, a scene suddenly appeared in her mind.
In the video, Little Fifth Brother and a few other boys are playing in the river. Suddenly, Little Fifth Brother seems to fall in!
When they found him again, Little Fifth Brother had already drowned! His belly was swollen, his face was as white as a ghost, and he lay there quietly, without moving.
Aunt Chi went crazy on the spot!
That's why Chi Tang was startled awake and started crying! Her crying attracted everyone over, leading to the scene we see now.
She didn't know what was going on, but she subconsciously felt that it was real, and that it might happen someday!
That's why she acted that way!
"Look, she's crying so much her forehead is covered in sweat." Sister-in-law Chi tenderly wiped the sweat from Chi Tang's forehead, touching her wet little forehead, at a loss for what to do. "What's wrong with Tangtang? Should we take her to the doctor?"
Old Man Chi, a doting father to his daughter, immediately said, "We need to find a doctor to take a look!"
Chi Dashan chimed in, "That's right, that's right."
Aunt Chi was the calmest. "It's so late, where are we going to find a doctor? Anyway, Tangtang doesn't seem to be feeling unwell, she's much better. Let's take another look and see what happens tomorrow morning."
"We have to look for her no matter where we are! I can't let my daughter suffer!" Old Man Chi said seriously, then put on his clothes and went out.
Like a son, he's doing his job well.
But my daughter just won't do it!
Even though Old Man Chi always listens to his wife, this time he didn't care at all!
Not feeling sad at all, Chi Tang felt a warm, yet bittersweet feeling in her heart. She decisively stretched out her short, chubby arms towards the door and called out, "Ah ah!"
"ah!"
Father, come back!
Chi Wuhu immediately shouted, "Father, come back quickly! My sister doesn't want you to go!"
Old Man Chi hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to leave immediately, but when he saw his daughter looking at him with wet eyes and her lips trembling as if she was about to cry, he immediately turned back and snatched his daughter from his son's arms.
After holding and comforting his daughter for a while, Old Man Chi discussed with her, "Daughter, shall I go and fetch a doctor for you?"
Others: ...
Has this old man gone mad?
Discussing something with a baby?
Who knew that the next moment they would see Chi Tang shaking her short, chubby arms, shouting "Ah ah!" and shaking her head!
That's strange!
Aunt Chi was alright, but Sister-in-law Chi, Chi Dashan, and Chi Wuhu's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets!
Chi Dashan asked tentatively, surprised, "Tangtang, are we not going to let Dad go and get a doctor for you?"
Um!
Chi Tang nodded vigorously!
It was just a simple action, but it excited the whole family.
Just as Chi Dashan was about to say something, Aunt Chi spoke up: "Tangtang can understand what we're saying, so let's be careful not to tell anyone."
"Yes, others won't want us to be happy, so we can't say anything." Chi Dashan nodded, determined to give his wife and Xiao Wu a good talking-to later.
Holding his daughter, Old Man Chi felt his heart was filled with joy.
Aunt Chi said, "Eldest son, you two go back to sleep. Oh, and you still have to take care of Wulang. Lately, let the third son's wife do all the cooking, laundry, and yard chores. I'll tell her tomorrow morning."
"Mom, I'm not tired, I can do it..."
Before Sister-in-law Chi could finish speaking, Chi Dashan dragged her out.
Sister-in-law Chi was puzzled, but she obediently kept quiet until she returned to her room, where she quietly asked the man, "What's wrong?"
Looking at his simple-minded wife, Chi Dashan patiently explained, "How do you think Grandma knew we suddenly had eggs?"
"You...you mean what the third son's wife said?" Sister-in-law Chi wasn't completely stupid.
Chi Dashan nodded: "Yes, this is Mother's way of giving Third Brother's wife a talking-to, so don't worry about it. Take this opportunity to rest. You have to take care of the two children, Wulang, and Mother during her postpartum period, and you also have to manage the meals for the whole family... Wife, you've worked so hard these past few days."
Goro is the son of Ike Shikai.
However, Chi Sihai's wife ran away after giving birth, and Chi Sihai had been working as a carpenter's apprentice in the city, so the child was always taken care of by Chi Dashan and his wife.
Speaking of this, Chi Dashan took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it into his wife's hand: "This is what Sihai insisted on giving me before he left yesterday, saying it was to thank us for taking care of Wulang, and that he remembered it all..."
Sister-in-law Chi's rough cheeks felt a little hot.
How could she not be tired during this time? But it was all she was supposed to do!
Now that the man is considerate and grateful to her, she feels as sweet as if she's been coated in honey.
but……
"How could you accept this money?" Sister-in-law Chi's thin face contorted as she scolded the man, "What kind of income can Sihai earn as an apprentice? He probably couldn't save up this much money even in a year! You, as his elder brother!"
Sister-in-law Chi was genuinely angry.
We're family, why be so calculating?
Brothers should help each other, shouldn't they?
If they take the money, what does that make them?
Seeing his wife's reaction, Chi Dashan secretly glanced at the children and found them sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around his wife's waist and kiss her hard a few times!
Later, it's unclear whose breathing became disordered.
But Chi Dashan still let go of his wife. He knew she had been exhausted lately. He held her as they lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and after calming down, he slowly said:
“Wife, you must understand that even brothers need to keep clear accounts. Otherwise, it might become a matter of course for Sihai to ask us to take care of Wulang. That would truly damage the bond between brothers.”
"Besides, Sihai gave me this money voluntarily; he'd be furious if I didn't take it. I thought I'd just accept it, and we can secretly buy some treats for Xingxing, Xiaosuotou, and Wulang later."
Nestled in the man's broad arms, Sister-in-law Chi felt extremely at ease: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"By the way, let's bring Xingxing back from his grandma's house in a few days."
"Okay."
With the bright moon hanging in the sky, everything is an auspicious sign.
The evening breeze was gentle, its warmth surpassing all else.
