Chapter 19 became more sophisticated.
Although Ma Xiulian specifically asked Li Chunhua to wash the dishes, there were quite a few dishes and chopsticks used by this large family of more than ten people, so Zhou Zhaodi and Zhao Mei also had to help clean up the mess.
Moreover, although there are many bowls and chopsticks, they are easy to wash because there is not much oil. Just rinse them with well water, drain them, and put them in the cupboard.
Zhao Mei had just picked up two bowls when Helian Jiao's eyelids twitched, and then she slowly opened her large, glassy eyes.
She wants to drink milk as soon as she wakes up.
So Ma Xiulian said to Zhao Mei, "Eldest daughter-in-law, stop tidying up, it's time to feed the baby."
"Why!"
Zhao Mei responded and put the bowl back in her hand, then reached out to hug her little niece.
Ma Xiulian turned to the side to prevent her from hugging her, saying, "Go wash your hands first, and wipe your chest as well."
They say illness enters through the mouth, and with all the sweating in the summer, we can't be careless about what our little one eats.
Zhao Mei was stunned. When did her mother-in-law become so particular?
But she couldn't disobey, so she nodded, drew a basin of well water, and carried it back into the house to wash herself.
As Li Chunhua cleared the dishes, she muttered to herself: Why bother raising such a poor girl? That wretched girl is really strange.
When she finished washing the dishes and came out, she saw Helian Jiao nestled in her sister-in-law's arms, drinking milk with great relish, and her heart clenched.
That heartless brat doesn't care about her own mother at all.
So, with a cold face, he picked up Chen Xiaobao and went back to his room, without even glancing at Sanni next to him.
Ma Xiulian was speechless at her reaction; this mother's heart was too biased.
Everyone says that Ma Xiulian is sexist, but if you ask her, this third daughter-in-law is the most sexist.
They are all flesh and blood of their own flesh and blood, yet they cherish their sons like precious treasures and treat their daughters like weeds on the roadside.
Ma Xiulian is truly good to her only daughter. As for her granddaughters, they are from a different generation, and there are several of them. Naturally, she favors her grandsons who can carry on the family line.
But that's all in the past; now her little granddaughter is the apple of her eye.
"Grandma loves our darling the most."
Zhao Mei also quite liked this pretty little niece. Staring at Helian Jiao's chubby little face, she exclaimed, "Mom, how come my darling is so fair-skinned and beautiful?"
Her skin was still very tender, and she didn't dare to touch it.
Then look at my own little girl, she looked like a wrinkled little old man when she was born.
Now, more than three months later, her skin is somewhat dark and yellowish, her hair and eyebrows are sparse with only a few strands, and her features are not as delicate and pretty as her niece's.
I ate the same things as my third brother and sister-in-law when I was pregnant, so why are the daughters we gave birth to so different?
Ma Xiulian said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Our darling is a fairy descended from heaven, of course she's beautiful!"
She knew that no one would believe her even if she told the truth, so she spoke without any pressure.
As expected, Zhao Mei only thought of her as a beloved little niece and didn't know how to respond, so she silently kept her mouth shut.
After a long while, she spoke again, "Mom, don't you think there haven't been many mosquitoes these past two days?"
The other day, when I was sitting in the yard to cool off, I would get covered in mosquito bites in no time.
I've been sitting here for quite a while tonight, and I haven't gotten a single bite from the stinger. It's really strange.
Ma Xiulian glanced at her, then sat up straight and said, "Isn't it good that there are no mosquitoes? I can sleep much more soundly at night."
But she was secretly pleased, thinking: Look, even mosquitoes don't dare to suck her precious baby's divine blood.
