Chapter 183: Recruiting
The more Mrs. Wei spoke, the more guilty the mother of the two naughty kids felt, and her eyes turned red.
She wiped her tears with her sleeves: "Yes, I have to teach them well... They don't know that I was pregnant two years ago, and when the baby was still young, I was bumped into by someone and the baby fell out. I also lay on the kang for a long time..."
This was the first time Mrs. Peng heard this and she was stunned.
No wonder the girl reacted so strongly when she heard the two kids bumping into someone.
The mother of the two naughty kids finally promised to bring the two naughty kids to apologize the next day. Mrs. Wei was not the kind of person who would not give in. She did not want to make the decision on behalf of her second daughter-in-law and forgive anything. She just said "hmm" lightly and took Xingxing away.
The next day, the mother of the two naughty kids really brought the two naughty kids to the house.
The mother of the two naughty kids was named Zhou. As she said, Zhou brought an old hen and came to apologize.
She made the two naughty kids kneel in front of Bai Xiaofeng's kang, kowtow to Bai Xiaofeng several times, and talked about self-reflection for a long time.
Bai Xiaofeng then uttered a weak "ouch" and put on enough gestures to barely forgive the two children.
After Zhou took the two naughty kids away, Bai Xiaofeng changed from her weak appearance and looked a little better.
"Mother, this time it's all thanks to our Xingxing..." Bai Xiaofeng said to Mrs. Wei, "You may not believe it, but when I was hit and fell, I was stunned for a long time, in pain and dazed. It was Xingxing lying beside me crying and calling me, and then I felt like something powerful was entering my body little by little..."
Bai Xiaofeng became more and more excited the more he described.
Mrs. Wei's eyes were soft. "I've already said that Xingxing is the lucky star of our family. If Xingxing hadn't come back to call for help in your situation yesterday, you and Bang'er would have been in danger."
Speaking of Bangger, Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at the little baby sleeping next to him.
Even though the girl she had been waiting for for months gave birth to a son, she must have been very disappointed.
But yesterday's delivery was so dangerous. Now that the baby is born safely, the difference between a boy and a girl doesn't seem to be that important anymore.
"...Hey, he looks pretty. How come he is just a boy?" Bai Xiaofeng complained a little, but looking at Bangger's sleeping face, she couldn't help but smile, "...He is quite handsome."
"That's right. None of the children in our Yu family is ugly." Mrs. Wei said with some pride.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a few more words, and then Mrs. Wei stood up and said, "I saw someone bring an old hen over just now. I'll ask your sister-in-law to make you some old hen soup. Since you gave birth prematurely, you should just stay in the confinement period."
Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing again: "Mom, other people only do the double confinement after giving birth to twins. I was a little scared yesterday, but I feel much better today. I think I will be able to go to bed in a few days, so there is no need to do the double confinement."
"Okay, don't worry about anything else. Just take good care of him." But Mrs. Wei was very stubborn. She waved her hand, looked at the sleeping Bang'er, and walked out of the house with a smile.
Bai Xiaofeng felt warm in her heart as she watched Mrs. Wei leave.
Liu and Gui, who were studying in the county, soon learned that their mother had given birth to a little brother prematurely.
They were both extremely excited. It happened that the ten-day holiday was just two days away, so they happened to catch Bangger's third-day bath. They hurried home to see their newborn little brother.
On the day of Bangger's third birthday, many relatives came.
A lot of people also came from Bai Xiaofeng's mother's house, occupying an entire table.
I heard that Mrs. Peng was afraid that Bai Xiaofeng's family would come to cause trouble for them, so she hurriedly persuaded her daughter to bring her two grandchildren back home yesterday.
After Bangger's third-day bath was over, Bai Xiaofeng's younger brother Bai Chengdong told another happy story.
It turned out that Bai Chengdong's wife didn't come today because she was also found out to be pregnant. The doctor took her pulse and said that it was very likely twins.
When Bai Xiaofeng heard the good news, her complexion became even better.
Pregnant with twins has always been a good omen, and Mrs. Wei was very happy to hear this. She said frankly that when the babies were born, she would take her second son's wife over to share in the joy.
The whole house is filled with joy.
Li Chunhua's parents' home received a gift from Li Donghua. Li Donghua quietly pulled Li Chunhua aside and said shyly that her family had found a son-in-law for her, and that the boy was strong and had a good appearance.
Li Chunhua was slightly surprised.
From what she heard from her sister Donghua, she knew that she was interested in the young man.
"What's the situation at home?" Li Chunhua asked carefully. "Where does he live? How many people are there? What do they do for a living?"
During the Chinese New Year, she went back to her parents' home and asked her younger sister about the bribery. At that time, her family was still looking after her younger sister.
It hasn't even been two months and you've already found someone?
I don’t know if it’s reliable or not.
Li Chunhua couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Li Donghua blushed a little, but still replied to Li Chunhua's questions one by one: "...He is from the Beimanggou. He has three brothers, and he is the second oldest. Everyone in the family makes a living by farming. They have two acres of land..."
Li Donghua spoke in a low voice. Li Chunhua saw her sister so shy and understood why. She was afraid that her sister also had a crush on him.
However, when it comes to marrying into the wife's family, it is almost always because the man's family is very poor, and only then will he be willing to marry into the wife's family.
Listening to her sister's description, Li Chunhua couldn't understand anything.
"Beimanggou..." Li Chunhua remembered that several branches of the Yu family were in Beimanggou.
"Okay, I'll ask around for you later. Tell mom and dad not to make a decision so quickly." Li Chunhua said to her sister.
The last time Li Jinan wanted to exchange Li Donghua for a bride, it was all thanks to Li Chunhua and her in-laws. Li Donghua trusted her sister's in-laws very much and nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
At night, after all the relatives had left, Li Chunhua went to tell Mrs. Wei about this.
Mrs. Wei thought about it and nodded, "That's easy. Your second uncle in the clan is going to celebrate his 60th birthday in two days. I'll take Xingxing with me and go ask around."
That's how it's settled.
Xingxing had nothing to do these past two days so she ran to the second house. She had never seen a baby as young as Bangger before, so she lay beside the kang every day watching Bangger sleep and didn't feel annoyed.
Fortunately, Xingxing is just a little girl, so Bai Xiaofeng doesn't have to avoid her when feeding her. She will even tease her and ask her if she wants to eat another one.
Xingxing blushed, shook her head, and her braid swung back and forth.
Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing.
Ju Ge'er was not as obsessed as Xing Xing. He even felt that Bang Ge'er was too young to run around with him. After coming to see Bang Ge'er, Ju Ge'er forgot about his newborn brother and ran around the mountains and fields with a group of little kids in the village every day.
On the birthday of the eldest of the Yu family, Mrs. Wei also asked Ju Ge'er if he wanted to go with them. Ju Ge'er was obsessed with taking his friends on "adventures" in the village and refused outright.
Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu took only Xingxing and went to Beimanggou.
