Cheng Rushan spent three cents to buy Qianbo a non-staple food ticket, but he refused even though Qianbo asked him to give it to him. Cheng Rushan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a pound of various candies. Jiang Lin and Yan Runzhi were playing with the cloth they bought from the county with Dabao and Xiaobao.
Yan Runzhi: "Dongsheng is really capable, Bao Niang'er you have a good eye, you can buy these cloths and do anything with them."
She took out the tomato and the small fresh fruit and gestured, "I'll make you a jacket with this red cloth for the New Year, and a white jacket with green flowers will look good. I didn't give you a betrothal gift or make you new clothes. I'm sorry for that."
Dabao and Xiaobao shouted together: "Make a flowery skirt!"
That educated youth Zeng looked so good in the skirt, and it would definitely look even better on my mother.
Jiang Lin: "I'll make the skirt next year. It will be cold soon this year."
The two children looked at each other, leaned on the windowsill to look at the sun outside, then looked at their own vests and shorts. Where was it cold?
Yan Runzhi explained to the two children: "Women are different from men. Women are afraid of the cold."
"Oh," I see.
Jiang Lin took out the cloth that was planned to be used to make quilts. Yan Runzhi was to make one quilt, and another one for herself, Dabao and Xiaobao to cover themselves with, while Cheng Rushan was to cover himself with the old one.
Cotton-padded clothes also need to be purchased. In addition to the cotton coupons for one kilogram of cotton per person, you can also go to Miaozi Village behind to buy some in the autumn. Their village has a large sideline business of spinning and weaving.
In addition, I made a new set of clothes for Yan Runzhi, and also for Dabao and Xiaobao.
Yan Runzhi: "Why should an old woman like me wear new clothes? Baoer Niang, you are a young daughter-in-law and look good, so you wear them."
She was an old woman, wearing new clothes, giving those people an excuse to criticize her as a landlord's wife?
Jiang Lin had a plan. No matter what she said, she marked each piece of cloth and put it away until she got the cotton.
She took out the fine cotton cloth she had bought, which she was going to make embroidery products. In addition to handkerchiefs, handbags, and wallets, she also wanted to make some bellybands for children and larger shawls. City people are particular about covering their furniture with something to keep it from getting dusty. When life gets better in the future, with TVs, refrigerators, and the like, they will want to cover their furniture even more, which will make it look nice and clean.
Cheng Xiaobao draped the tomato cloth over Cheng Dabao, "You be my daughter-in-law."
Cheng Dabao: "I am the man and you are the wife." He was about to cover Cheng Xiaobao's head with the red cloth.
Jiang Lin smiled and pulled it down, "You two are boys, neither of you can be a daughter-in-law."
Cheng Xiaobao immediately put it on her, "Linlin Dang."
Cheng Dabao said: "Mom is Dad's daughter-in-law."
Cheng Xiaobao: "Yes," he looked at Yan Runzhi again.
Yan Runzhi: "I am an old lady and cannot be one."
At this time, Cheng Rushan came in and put the candy on the kang. The two children immediately rushed over and said, "Dad is here to buy candy."
They looked at Yan Runzhi, then at Jiang Lin, "Mom, can I eat it?"
Jiang Lin: "Eat it, but you can only eat one piece."
Cheng Xiaobao, who had grabbed a handful, froze. How could one piece be enough? He quietly tucked a handful under the kang mat. Cheng Rushan saw it and reached out to take it. Cheng Xiaobao hugged his arm and shook his head, "Don't be a good boy, I won't take it."
He also stole a glance at Jiang Lin, and when he saw that she didn't notice, he winked at Cheng Rushan.
Cheng Rushan felt so soft in his heart when he was squeezed by him. He glanced at Jiang Lin, smiled and ignored her.
Seeing that his father didn't care, Cheng Xiaobao became even more proud and wanted to hide some again. Cheng Dabao grabbed his hand, took some out and put it back, then gave the candy to Yan Runzhi and Jiang Lin.
Cheng Rushan picked up the rest and put them on the shelf on the wall, where there were wooden wedges nailed there and boards placed on top, where you could put things you could use.
He said to the two children, "Mom will keep this and she will give it to you."
The look in Cheng Xiaobao's eyes when he looked at Jiang Lin was sweeter than honey.
How could Yan Runzhi not know about the two children's little actions, but she didn't care. Some things can only be left to the mother and the child to get along with each other. Bao'er's mother didn't care about the children before, but now she starts to do so. She should take care of both good and bad things. As a grandmother, she only needs to make delicious food.
She said to Jiang Lin, "Bao'er's mother, please help Dongsheng pack his luggage. I'm old and confused, and I lose things easily."
Jiang Lin wanted to ask Cheng Rushan to pack up, but she couldn't resist Yan Runzhi's eager eyes, so she said okay. She went downstairs, but she didn't know what Cheng Rushan had, so she looked at him. Cheng Rushan took a cloth bag that Yan Runzhi had sewn with two layers of old coarse cloth, put his change of clothes and clean cloth shoes in it, and also put away daily necessities such as hand towels, lunch boxes, kettles, toothbrushes, etc.
Cheng Rushan also put in a small navy blue cloth bag containing money and bills.
Jiang Lin: "Please carry a schoolbag with you to carry the important things with you. Don't leave them lying around."
Cheng Rushan said: "It's okay, no one dares to steal."
Jiang Lin: "Even if no one steals it, what if someone takes it by mistake or drops it? Wouldn't that be a problem if you need it urgently?"
Thinking about how he had stuffed deposit slips worth several thousand dollars into a big bag together with cured chicken and duck, and gave it to Qianbo to look at, she felt that he was so careless that he couldn't contain himself!
Yan Runzhi: "Bao'er's mother is right. Dongsheng, it's wrong for you to be so loud sometimes."
Cheng Rushan followed suit: "Okay, I'll remember it and change it next time."
Jiang Lin gave him an old schoolbag she had used. Yan Runzhi sewed the worn edges with work cloth and embroidered some lace on it, which looked very beautiful.
Yan Runzhi: "I'll make you a bottle of fried sauce and some pancakes tonight. You can take them with you when it's inconvenient to eat out."
Cheng Rushan said yes.
Yan Runzhi went to borrow a griddle from someone else's house.
In summer, food generally cannot be kept, but pancakes and fried sauces can be kept for a while.
Cheng Rushan went to fetch water, Jiang Lin tidied up the cloth on the kang, and saw the two brothers whispering in the yard. She went over and saw them dividing the candy, one piece for each of them, and Cheng Xiaobao's mouth was stuffed full.
Cheng Dabao: "Mom said to eat one piece."
Cheng Xiaobao: "I'll have one piece. I'll have one piece for Linlin, one piece for Dongsheng, one piece for grandma, and... one piece for our sister. Do you want me to have one piece for you?" Grandma said that if mom and dad are together, a pretty little sister will come to our house. I guess she's already on the train, right?
Jiang Lin: "..." This guy is very eloquent when talking about eating candy. And who is the younger sister?
Cheng Dabao: "Bad teeth."
Cheng Xiaobao: "It will fall off anyway. It will grow back again after it breaks!"
Jiang Lin: "Ahem."
Cheng Xiaobao immediately pressed the extra candy under a gourd ladle and smiled at Jiang Lin with his little face tilted up: "Linlin, what are you doing?"
Jiang Lin deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Call me mom. It was you who called me Linlin?"
Cheng Xiaobao: "Is Dongsheng the only one who can call?"
Cheng Dabao: "Grandma can scream."
Jiang Lin: "Stop interrupting us." She originally thought that the two children lacked love, one was sensitive and the other was silly, but she never thought that she was too naive.
Seeing her stern face, the two children immediately stood obediently against the wall, pushing each other, lowering their heads and pursing their lips, with smiles that could not be hidden in the corners of their eyebrows and eyes.
Oh, Linlin is angry again.
They found that in the past, when mom was angry, she would scold and beat them, but now when Linlin is angry, she will frown instead of beating them. Haha.
Children are the best at observing what their mother says and does not beat or scold them. They will start to become more and more demanding.
So when Yan Runzhi and Cheng Rushan came back, they saw the two kids standing against the wall. Cheng Xiaobao was standing on tiptoe, staggering from side to side, but Cheng Dabao was standing straight. Jiang Lin was holding a piece of cotton wood as thick as a little finger in her hand and was giving a lecture.
"Stand still, both of you, and stop smiling."
Cheng Dabao had a stern face, looking very serious, while Cheng Xiaobao pursed his lips, with candy hidden in them.
Yan Runzhi sang, "Today he stole a brick, tomorrow he will tear down the wall. The child is disobedient, beat him!"
Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing because of her singing, and she tried hard to hold it back. However, when she saw Cheng Dabao mumbling in his little mouth and Cheng Xiaobao shaking his head to keep the beat, she couldn't help laughing.
As soon as she smiled, Cheng Xiaobao took advantage of the situation and threw himself on her thighs and hugged her.
Yan Runzhi: "The child doesn't listen to his mother, beat him! Dongsheng was the most obedient when he was a child and never made his mother angry."
The "obedient" Cheng Dongsheng silently poured the water into the tank, as if he had always been very well behaved. He walked away without changing his expression and even winked at Jiang Lin.
Cheng Dabao: "Mom, I was wrong. I will only eat one piece of candy from now on." He said to Cheng Xiaobao: "You eat one too."
Cheng Xiaobao: “!!” Are you stupid? You only eat one piece of such delicious candy?
When Cheng Rushan came back from fetching water, Jiang Lin blocked him at the door and said, "Look, you're going to spoil the child."
Cheng Rushan was carrying water, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's just candy, what kid doesn't like candy? When I was a kid, I wanted to eat candy but couldn't..."
"You can't give them what you need without principles. I've seen Cheng Xiaobao eating candy all the time."
Cheng Rushan thought about it and said, "It really won't work. We have to take care of it."
Jiang Lin nodded, "It's good that you know. Go and take care of your son."
Cheng Rushan smiled and said, "Okay, it's not worth getting angry about such a small thing. I'll give it to you when I buy some candy next time."
Jiang Lin: You sound like I’m greedy, is that because of this?
Cheng Rushan went to hold her hand. Jiang Lin wanted to run, but he grabbed her shoulders and slid down to hold her hand. After entering the yard, he said, "Son?"
Neither Dabao nor Xiaobao in the room said a word.
They had seen their parents muttering at the door a long time ago, thinking that their mother must be complaining and that she would suffer the consequences, so they pretended not to hear.
Cheng Rushan poured the water in, took out the shoulder pole and bucket, and then went into the house, where he saw the two little brothers lying on the kang and muttering to each other.
He flicked their foreheads lightly, "What are you talking about?"
Cheng Xiaobao: "Ask grandma Kang when we will have a little sister."
Cheng Dabao: "Grandma said that we need a little sister."
Cheng Rushan suddenly felt the same aggrieved feeling as when he met Jiang Lin in the county town but was treated as a thief and hooligan. He hadn't even got married yet, so where did this little sister come from? Oh, he had to work hard.
Cheng Xiaobao took out a little doll that Yan Runzhi had sewn for them using very scraps of cloth from the kang and said, "Look, I gave birth to a little sister."
Cheng Dabao: "What's your name?"
Cheng Xiaobao: "Baosheng."
Cheng Rushan put the previous incident behind him and asked, "Why?"
Cheng Xiaobao had a look on his face that said, "A baby born in winter is called Dongsheng, and a baby born by Xiaobao is called Baosheng." He also imitated the tone of his grandma when she coaxed them to sleep, and said softly, "Baosheng, be good and go to sleep~~"
Jiang Lin, who came in later, said: "..."
Cheng Rushan looked back at her, his tone was very aggrieved, "Wife~~"
Jiang Lin: "Everyone come and help with the cooking, don't talk nonsense!"
She must take good care of the two treasures when Cheng Rushan is not around. Cheng Rushan spoils the children too much, especially after knowing that Liu Honghua treats them harshly, he almost wants to give his heart to the children. Such doting will spoil the children.
Especially for children like Dabao and Xiaobao who have suffered and been bullied before, their values have not yet been formed. Now that they are supported and doted on by others, they may become naughty children.
She won't allow her child to become a naughty child.
Steamed millet cakes in the evening, and pancakes for lunch, stewed a pot of eggplant sauce, and steamed half a cured chicken. A small pot of fried sauce was set up for Cheng Rushan, with diced cured meat, diced mushrooms, and dried shrimps. Yan Runzhi knew that Jiang Lin loved it, so she made more and left a bowl.
Jiang Lin tasted it and found it really fresh and fragrant. It was delicious whether it was sandwiched with steamed buns or mixed with noodles. The millet cake tasted a hundred times better than the one she remembered. It was sweet, sticky, delicate, fragrant, soft and you could never get tired of eating it!
After having dinner early and taking a stroll, Dabao called his parents home to sleep at around eight o'clock at Yan Runzhi's instruction.
Cheng Xiaobao is really sleepy. This child is greedy and sleepy.
After washing up and getting on the kang, Jiang Lin slept at the head of the kang as usual, putting Cheng Xiaobao next to her, then Cheng Dabao, and letting Cheng Rushan sleep on the other side.
Cheng Rushan didn't protest.
Jiang Lin washed her hair and wiped it with a towel, while reminding Cheng Rushan not to forget his things when going out and to check them again.
Cheng Rushan: "I have checked. When I leave, you and mother can share the kang in the east room. I will clean up the kang in the east room when I come back."
Jiang Lin: "Okay."
She and Cheng Rushan had just met, but he acted like an old married couple. These past two days, he held her hand and hugged her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head and wiped her hair silently. The two of them didn't speak for a while, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Cheng Rushan walked over to her side of the kang and took the towel over to her so that she wouldn't wipe her hair bald. "Don't wipe it. It will dry in a while."
Jiang Lin shook her hair and it was almost dry.
Cheng Rushan touched her head and helped her comb her hair. His fingers were long and strong, and his little finger brushed against the sensitive spot behind her head, causing her to shiver. She quickly pulled her head out of his palm and said, "It will be done in a moment."
He leaned forward with one hand on the wall and the other on the edge of the kang, looking down at her, "Why are you afraid of me?"
His approach made her breathing a little disordered, and she immediately leaned back and pressed against the wall. Jiang Lin said stubbornly, "You are not a tiger, why should I be afraid of you?"
"Are you really not afraid?" He smiled, bent his long legs and climbed onto the kang, kneeling in front of her.
Jiang Lin: “!”
He leaned one hand on the wall and gently held her chin with the other hand, "How about this?" His voice was low, and the lust in his black eyes could not be hidden.
Jiang Lin's heart was pounding so hard that her ears could hear the sound of gongs and drums. Although she was somewhat familiar with him and admired him, she was no longer so afraid, but his aggressive approach still made her nervous.
Suddenly Cheng Xiaobao giggled.
Jiang Lin immediately pushed Cheng Rushan's hand away and went to look at Cheng Xiaobao, only to find that he was still sleeping soundly, just talking in his sleep.
Smacking his lips.
Jiang Lin: "What is Xiaobao doing?"
Cheng Rushan looked at him and saw that he was drooling from the corners of his mouth. The saliva tasted sweet, probably because he ate too much candy. He suddenly felt a little guilty.
Jiang Lin came over to take a look. At this moment, Cheng Xiaobao made a sound of something rubbing against his teeth in his mouth.
Jiang Lin: "There's something in his mouth!"
Cheng Rushan also heard it, and quickly turned Xiaobao's head to the side, pinched his mouth open, and took out two pieces of candy from it. Cheng Xiaobao kept smacking his little mouth, trying to grab the candy back.
Jiang Lin glared at him. How dangerous it would be if it got stuck!
Cheng Rushan felt even more guilty. This was really his fault. Jiang Lin had originally told him that he would go into the house to educate his two sons, but when it came to giving birth to a younger sister, he would... He went downstairs to get a towel dipped in water to wipe Xiaobao's face, and then brought warm water to coax Xiaobao to drink and rinse his mouth.
"Xiaobao, rinse your mouth and spit it out."
Cheng Xiaobao was sleeping soundly and drowsy, and he just rinsed his mouth and spit it out obediently.
ah?
After spitting it out, Cheng Xiaobao suddenly woke up. "My candy!" He immediately looked for it in the bowl with wide eyes.
Cheng Rushan asked coldly, "What are you looking for?"
Cheng Xiaobao immediately closed his wide eyes and fell asleep in his father's arms in a second.
Cheng Rushan: “…”
Jiang Lin: "Look, is it your fault?"
Cheng Rushan: "Blame me. It's my fault." He put down the bowl, looked at the two pieces of candy in his hand, and put them in his mouth.
Jiang Lin looked at him in surprise and said, "It's time to go to bed." You haven't even changed your teeth yet, so you shouldn't eat candy.
Cheng Rushan smiled, "Do you want to eat it?" He lowered his head and kissed her. Jiang Lin was so scared that she stepped back. His lips brushed against the corner of her mouth, leaving a sweet taste.
His dark eyes were smiling as he looked at her cherry pink lips, thinking they must be sweeter than sugar and he wanted to taste the honey-like taste, but he deliberately said, "I'm just teasing you. Do you think you can avoid it?"
Jiang Lin pressed her chest, kicked him, pointed to the opposite side and told him to sleep there.
Cheng Rushan took her feet and squeezed them. She had fair skin and beautiful feet, which were slender, white and tender. There were light blue blood vessels under her skin. Her toenails were round and smooth, and her nails had just been trimmed, shining brightly in the light.
His hands were covered with calluses, and the rubbing made her skin numb and itchy, like an electric shock.
Jiang Lin wanted to kick him, but she didn't have the strength. He held her feet and pulled her over with just a little force.
He saw that her face was blushing deeply, her eyes were full of tears, and her beautiful face made him even more excited in the dim light.
He was a man of strong self-control, having learned the boy's kung fu when he was young, and had abstained from sex for a long time without feeling any pain.
At this moment, he could not control his strong desire for her, and wanted to press her down and do whatever he wanted. He gradually increased the strength of his hands, and then grasped her slender but beautiful calf.
Jiang Lin was a little overwhelmed by the warmth of his palm, and the mist in her eyes was about to condense into water drops. Her heart was pounding with excitement, nervousness, and fear. Facing the blazing light in his deep eyes, she made up her mind and leaned over to kiss him quickly on the lips.
