"How could mommy not want you? Mommy will never want you. From now on, mommy will be with you every day and we will never be separated again!" Guo Wenxiu also shed tears and cried inconsolably while hugging Pengpeng. She became more determined in her heart that the child should stay with his mother.
"Really?" Pengpeng was overjoyed, and looked at Guo Wenxiu with tearful eyes, as if he would cry in front of her if she said it was fake.
Guo Wenxiu nodded vigorously, "Really!"
"Wow - Mom, you are so nice, I love you the most!" Pengpeng said, and was about to kiss Guo Wenxiu on the face, but was blocked by his grandmother.
A trace of sourness flashed through Shen Qing's heart. He was indeed an ungrateful person. He had taken care of him for so long, giving in to him in everything and providing him with good food and drink, yet he still loved his mother the most.
"Your mother is just teasing you!" Shen Qing withdrew his hand and tried to hug Pengpeng while speaking, but Guo Wenxiu dodged by turning sideways.
"Mom, I'm serious. From today on, Pengpeng will continue to sleep with me!" She looked down at her son in her arms, and seeing him smile happily when he heard this, she couldn't help but smile on her face.
Shen Qing disagreed, "How can that be possible!"
She looked at Guo Wenxiu with a slightly gloomy face, "Don't forget, you are still sick, and your disease is contagious!"
Guo Wenxiu curled the corners of her lips. Her mother-in-law kept reminding her that she was sick and kept telling her that being with Pengpeng would harm him, and asked her to stay away from Pengpeng as far as possible.
Holding the soft little body in her arms, Jiang Wenxiu felt like she was holding the whole world. She said in a gentle but firm voice, "I asked the doctor, and my disease is not contagious if we live together. As long as we don't eat from the same bowl, it's fine. When Pengpeng eats, I will serve his own food. He will be fine!"
"What your doctor said is not up to par. The doctors at the municipal hospital said before that this disease is contagious. Do you want our whole family to die with you?" Shen Qing couldn't control her temper for a moment. When she thought about her daughter-in-law wandering around the house with a disease in the future, she felt her hair stand on end.
Guo Wenxiu felt bitter and wanted to reason with her mother-in-law. She tried hard to keep her voice from shaking. "Mom, I have hepatitis, not some deadly infectious disease or disease. You always prevent me from having contact with Pengpeng. The child misses his mother, and who would feel good if he cries?
If I'm not well for three years, you'll keep us apart for three years. If I'm not well for ten years, you'll keep us apart for ten years? What if I can't get well for the rest of my life, will I never see my son again?"
Shen Qing pursed her lips and said nothing. No matter what would happen in the future, at least the child was absolutely not allowed to have any contact with it when he was young. She couldn't let the only child of the Cui family come to any harm.
When Guo Wenxiu saw her mother-in-law pursed her lips and kept silent, she knew that she disagreed with what she said. Her mother-in-law was often like this. She would not say her thoughts directly, but would keep them to herself and make you guess. If you couldn't guess, she would turn her face away.
"Mom, this is what I meant even though you didn't say anything. I've been taking medicine for a while now, and I've gotten much better. I'll continue taking it for a while, at most in half a month, and then it won't be a problem for me to eat with you guys!" Guo Wenxiu announced the news directly, hoping that her mother-in-law would feel at ease to hand Pengpeng over to her because she had recovered a lot.
"I don't believe it!" Shen Qing stared at her with scrutiny, as if judging the truthfulness of her words.
Guo Wenxiu pointed to the medicine bag on the ground. She had just rushed over to pick up Pengpeng and had dropped the medicine without picking it up. "This is the medicine the doctor prescribed for me. I've been taking it for a week. Look at my complexion and spirits now. Isn't that the best proof?"
Shen Qing had noticed the recent changes in her daughter-in-law, but she still didn't believe it. She glanced at the medicine bag and felt that it was Chinese medicine, and her heart couldn't help but waver.
Shen Qing still believes in traditional Chinese medicine. When she was a child, whenever she was sick, she would go to the old Chinese medicine doctor at the end of the alley to get medicine. After drinking the bitter Chinese medicine soup, she would get better within two days.
"Then I'll go with you to the health center tomorrow and have them check you out. If your illness doesn't get better, we can talk about Pengpeng later."
Shen Qing didn't want to make the relationship with his daughter-in-law too awkward, so he had to take a step back and said that if things didn't get better, then there was no point in discussing anything.
Guo Wenxiu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mom!"
That night, Pengpeng still slept with his grandmother. Guo Wenxiu was thinking about tomorrow's examination and was not panicked at all. She had great confidence in Tian Cai and felt that her condition must have improved significantly.
No one knew about the agreement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law except Pengpeng.
The next day, they went to the health center together to have blood tests, and the test results would not be available until the next day.
"Has your daughter-in-law changed her medicine recently? I see that her value has dropped a lot. If it continues like this, it will be fine soon!" Before Shen Qing saw the test results, the doctor kept asking him what medicine he had taken recently.
How could Guo Wenxiu say that? She just said it was the one prescribed by the Municipal Hospital. The doctor sighed, "It really is the Municipal Hospital."
The examination results were good, and Shen Qing was relieved and agreed to return Pengpeng to Jiang Wenxiu.
Seeing the mother and son laughing at each other, Shen Qing sighed and said nothing.
However, Shen Qing still had to secretly take the test results to the city to ask the doctor there to take another look and ask about the infection. He would only be completely relieved after making sure that there was no problem.
…
It has been cloudy since morning today. Tian Cai stood in the yard and looked outside, guessing that it was going to snow.
The snow did not stop her from going out. She went into the cellar to look for food, hoping to take advantage of the time to carry the food to the mill to grind some bean flour, corn flour and other food.
The villagers came to grind the grain right after it was distributed. Tian Cai was not at home at that time, and she was busy afterwards, so she kept postponing it until now. She guessed that there was no one at the mill, and no one would grind grain in the heavy snow like her.
Tian Cai deliberately wore several extra layers, fearing that she would be frozen after grinding for a while. She hadn't been here for a long time. Someone had added some boards around the mill, which just happened to block most of the wind and snow.
The north wind was howling from all directions, carrying falling snowflakes, covering the sky and the sun, and soon it was all white.
Tian Cai pushed the mill for such a long time that he was sweating all over and felt hot.
There were not many people around, and the sounds seemed to be frozen. After being blown hard by the violent north wind, they floated like snowflakes and could not be heard far away.
So Tian Cai didn't notice Qin Ling until he came close.
"Why are you here?" Tian Cai continued pushing without stopping.
She didn't know that she looked so pitiful now. Her slender figure was pushing a millstone that didn't fit her body size. Her cheeks were flushed as she gasped for breath, and there was a little sweat on her forehead.
"You take a break first, I'll do it." Qin Ling pulled Tian Cai aside without saying anything, put it on himself and started pushing.
Tian Cai walked to the side and sat down on a stool. She had been pushing for an hour and was really tired.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Qin Ling. He saw a lot of snow on his shoulders and hat. He didn't know how long he had been outside.
