"Mom, Mom~"
Tang Simeng jumped into the room and pushed the door open.
Qin Zijin was startled and looked up at Tang Simeng, whose face was flushed red at the door. Thinking something had happened, she quickly put down her work and asked anxiously, "Mengmeng, what happened? Where's your brother?"
"Mom, no, it's okay, Mom, my aunt said that you are going to give birth to a brother or sister for me. Mom, is it a brother or a sister?" Tang Simeng tilted her head and looked at Qin Zijin with anticipation on her face.
Qin Zijin was stunned for a moment before he realized what this meant, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Why is my sister-in-law saying this to a child?" Qin Zijin muttered to herself for a moment before she said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have you and my brother, and that's enough for me. Why do I need brothers and sisters? Hurry up and close the door. There's too much dust in the room. I'll choke."
"Don't you have any brothers or sisters?" Tang Simeng's face was immediately filled with disappointment when he heard that, but he was reluctant to leave and stood at the door.
Qin Zijin put down the things in his hands, walked to the door, and pulled people out. "There are no brothers or sisters. Go out quickly and play with your brother for a while. Don't run around, okay?"
Tang Simeng said "oh", obviously very unhappy.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Qin Zijin pulled her into the house and tucked her into bed.
The wind outside is howling and it is very cold. If I go out in this weather and accidentally catch a cold, I will get sick again.
Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan were both premature babies, and their bodies were much weaker than those of ordinary children.
Qin Zijin doesn't want any accidents to happen.
After repeatedly reminding Tang Simeng not to run around, Qin Zijin went back to the next room to continue working.
Tang Ruixuan came back soon.
Looking at Tang Simeng, whose face was drooping and unhappy, the corners of his mouth twitched before he walked over and said, "Sister, are you unhappy?"
"Mom said we don't have any brothers or sisters. Brother, we don't have any brothers or sisters." Tang Simeng pouted, looking like she was about to cry.
Tang Ruixuan couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his temple. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "It doesn't matter if you don't have brothers and sisters. Don't you still have me? You have me, dad, and mom. Isn't that enough?"
It was obvious that Tang Simeng's little head didn't understand what was going on. She looked dazed, with Tang Ruixuan's words all over her mind.
Tang Ruixuan hesitated for a moment before reaching out and gently patting Tang Simeng on the head: "It's okay, I will protect you."
"Brother, but I want to be a big sister. I don't want to be a little sister." Tang Simeng thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. She just spoke with some disappointment.
Tang Ruixuan was silent after hearing this, and spoke for a long time: "Maybe it's because we are still young that Mom and Dad don't want brothers and sisters. When we grow up, they will definitely want them."
"Really?" Tang Simeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Tang Ruixuan nodded seriously: "Yes, really, I won't lie to you."
"Then how can I grow up quickly?" Tang Simeng grabbed Tang Ruixuan's hand and asked anxiously.
"Eat more?" Tang Ruixuan scratched his head and thought for a long time before he remembered that Miao Cuicui often told Zhao Gang that eating more would help him grow up. So, eating more would mean growing up, right?
Tang Simeng seemed to have made up her mind. She held Tang Ruixuan's hand tightly and said, "Brother, from today on, I want to eat two bowls of rice. No, three bowls!"
For her younger brothers and sisters, she risked everything!
Tang Ruixuan was speechless for a while and stared at his sister silently.
Qin Zijin was unaware of the conversation between the brother and sister and was concentrating on his work.
After yesterday's experience, today was a lot easier and the speed was much faster.
The quilt was made from morning to around three in the afternoon.
Qin Zijin folded the quilt and there was still a lot of cotton left.
Qin Zijin took out the silk cotton exchanged from the system mall, mixed it with cotton, and began to make new cotton-padded clothes for the two children.
The cloth had already been cut.
It is a very ordinary floral cloth, also very common in rural areas. This kind of cloth is resistant to dirt and wear, and the quality is pretty good, but it is not as soft and comfortable to wear as pure cotton cloth.
There is no sewing machine, so every stitch can only be sewn with hands.
Qin Zijin sat in the house and sewed until dark, but she didn't finish sewing a single piece of clothing.
After rubbing his swollen waist, Qin Zijin stood up and carried the quilt to the next room.
Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan were both in the room at the moment, and the two little guys were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.
When he saw Qin Zijin coming in, he immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Tang Simeng looked at Qin Zijin with a smile and called out in a baby voice, "Mom, are you done?"
"Well, I'll go cook first. Is Dad not back yet?" Qin Zijin said and couldn't help looking outside the door.
Tang Shen didn't come back for lunch today. In the morning, he took a few corn cakes made by Qin Zijin and went into the mountains.
It was getting dark.
Qin Zijin was still worried.
After all, Tang Shen's parents died in an accident in the mountains.
In addition, wild wolves appeared again a few days ago, so she was always afraid that Tang Shen would encounter wild wolves in the mountains.
"No." The two little guys shook their heads in unison.
Qin Zijin always felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he went to borrow a flashlight from Miao Cuicui and planned to go to the mountains to look for it.
"Tang Shen hasn't come back yet?" Miao Cuicui felt nervous when she heard that Tang Shen had gone into the mountains in the morning and had not returned yet.
"Well, he didn't come back for lunch. It's almost dark now. I'm afraid there might be danger in the mountains. I'd better go to the mountains to look for him." Qin Zijin nodded, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Then I'll let Daniu accompany you. He originally planned to come back to look for you in the afternoon. He has sold all the fish he brought out in the morning, and he hasn't given you the money yet." Miao Cuicui said and turned to go in.
After a while, Zhao Daniu came out with a flashlight.
"Sister-in-law, Tang Shen hasn't come back yet?" Zhao Daniu's eyes were filled with worry.
Qin Zijin nodded.
"Then let's hurry up and look for it before it gets completely dark. It will be dangerous in the mountains after dark, and we can't go into the mountains anymore." Zhao Daniu left a word and hurriedly followed Qin Zijin out.
"Brother Daniu, I'm sorry to bother you again." Qin Zijin felt a little embarrassed as he walked on the bumpy road.
Zhao Daniu, however, waved his hand generously and said straightforwardly, "We're all family, neighbors. Why are you saying all this? If anything happens to our family, can you not help?"
"That's different." Qin Zijin shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more.
The two soon reached the foot of the mountain.
It was almost dark at this time, and the mountains were pitch black, looking very scary.
Qin Zijin was terrified and became more and more worried about Tang Shen's safety: "Tang Shen?"
She shouted subconsciously.
The sound was transmitted far away and an echo came back, but there was not a trace of Tang Shen's voice.
