"Don't worry about it, sister-in-law. Anyone would have done the same."
Yingyue speaks a little slowly.
This made her say it with particular seriousness.
Liu Meiyu was deeply moved.
Huo Cheng told Liu Meiyu to take the things she brought back and to let Zhao Gan take care of his health.
"He's fine. He's very resilient. If I hadn't forcibly kept him at home, he would have been running around somewhere by now."
Liu Meiyu, who had survived the ordeal, was stricter than ever before, insisting that Zhao Gan stay at home.
If he dares to run around again, his father will break his legs when he gets back.
Despite his mischievous nature, Zhao Ganpi dared not truly provoke his mother.
After all, there are three people in the family; he is on one side, and his parents are on the other.
If he goes too far, his parents will team up to give him a "love education," and he won't be able to handle it.
Even though Zhao Gan stayed home obediently, Liu Meiyu was still worried.
After exchanging a few words with Yingyue and the others, agreeing to come back another day to express their gratitude, he prepared to go home to see his children.
"Comrade Yingyue, I'll come visit you another time when I have more time."
Liu Meiyu is willing to befriend Yingyue.
Yingyue nodded with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
Huo Cheng called out to Liu Meiyu.
Liu Meiyu stopped in her tracks, wondering what else Huo Cheng wanted.
Huo Cheng spoke calmly, "I heard from Comrade Huo Qing that Zhao Gan said someone pushed him down?"
"Ah...yes!"
Liu Meiyu looked helpless as she said this, "That child is usually naughty, and we don't know if what he says is true or false, so Commander Huo doesn't need to take it too seriously."
Even if someone did push him down, it was probably just children playing around.
Liu Meiyu thought to herself.
"But isn't he your child, sister-in-law?"
Yingyue looked at Liu Meiyu curiously, "You're his mother, and you don't even trust him. Won't he be very sad?"
Liu Meiyu was stunned by Yingyue's sincere gaze and heartfelt question.
She hadn't really thought about that.
As Liu Meiyu walked home after leaving the Huo family's house, she pondered Yingyue's words.
Does she really not trust her son enough?
But can you really take what a seven or eight-year-old child says seriously?
Liu Meiyu frowned, unable to understand.
But her pace quickened as she walked home through the snow.
The basket she brought to the Huo family was still slung over her arm. Besides the basket, there was also the bottle of malted milk powder that hadn't been given away.
Comrade Cheng asked her to bring back the malted milk powder, mix it with water, and give it to her son to drink, so that he could get some nutrition and calm his nerves.
Zhao Gan was lying in his room at that moment.
He was covered with two blankets; his mother wouldn't let him go out, so he could only lie in bed.
He heard the courtyard gate open and his mother walk in from outside.
A sweet aroma wafted into the room shortly after, and Zhao Gan's eyes lit up.
Malted milk powder.
He was about to get up, but then he suddenly remembered his mother's distrust of him, so Zhao Gan lay back down.
Not only did she lie back down, but she also turned around in a bad mood, facing the wall.
I poked my finger in circles on the wall.
Liu Meiyu walked in from outside and felt a little guilty when she saw that her son had his back to the outside.
She brought the malted milk powder to the bedside and said, "Dog Egg, Mom made you some malted milk powder."
They all say that a humble name makes a child easier to raise, so Zhao Gan's grandmother gave him a humble name: Gou Dan (Dog Egg).
"Get up and drink it while it's hot to nourish your body."
Having only one son, Liu Meiyu must feel sorry for him.
It's just that her son is too naughty, and sometimes she loses her temper and isn't as loving and filial as she used to be.
Zhao Gan snorted, "I won't drink."
"Didn't you say I jumped in myself? I brought this on myself, why should I try to improve my health?"
The little boy is small, but he has a big temper.
Liu Meiyu was about to lose her temper, but remembering Yingyue's words, she took a few deep breaths and tried her best to control herself.
"Mom was wrong."
"Mom shouldn't have disbelieved you."
There was no deep-seated hatred between the mother and son; it was just that Liu Meiyu didn't take the child's words seriously.
Now that she has apologized, Zhao Gan, who was being difficult, is fine.
"You really want to believe me?"
He turned around and looked at his mother with suspicion.
Liu Meiyu nodded.
"Believe, have faith."
Having received his mother's promise, Zhao Gan, who had been somewhat listless, almost instantly regained his energy.
He immediately crawled out of bed.
He took the malted milk powder, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said with great bravado, "When I find the bastard who pushed me into the ice hole, I'm going to rip off all his fingernails!"
"Let him know the consequences of plotting against me!"
Liu Meiyu...
It seems that trusting his son's decision was a bit hasty?
…………
Yingyue finally got to eat the pickled fish she'd been craving that night.
Beautifully sliced fish are placed in pickled cabbage with chili peppers, tossed around a couple of times, and then scooped out to eat—the taste is both fresh and tender.
Yingyue squinted her eyes as she ate.
Big fish is definitely tastier.
As she ate the fish, she thought about going to the deeper sea another day to catch an even bigger fish.
Besides fish, there are other seafood products that we should also try.
"Yueyue, have some soda."
Huo Qing also enjoyed her meal very much. Seeing that her sister-in-law had been eating meat without drinking any soda, she looked up, picked up the soda bottle, and reminded Yingyue.
