Chapter 56 Mother Lin, a skilled old lady
, still remembers how Xu Wanning had a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to her youngest sister, and she almost died while lying on the hospital bed.
It was an accident that she became pregnant with Yaomei.
That day, she was in a low mood because of Gu Jun's indifference, so she drank some wine at Li Qianqian's instigation. Lin An happened to be home on vacation, and under the influence of alcohol, she forcibly had sex with Lin An.
That's when Yaomei was born.
After realizing that she was pregnant, the original person did not want the child and was going to the hospital to have an abortion. It was Lin's mother who knelt down to pray and promised that from now on, the original person would make the final decision on all matters concerning the Lin family. She and Lin An would never interfere. Only then did the original body give up the idea.
Therefore, Mother Lin has always felt guilty towards the original person.
I always feel that if I hadn't forced my original body to give birth to Yaomei, she wouldn't have suffered so much. Moreover, during the most difficult time, her mother's family couldn't be with her.
This is why Dachun and Yaomei are both four or five years old, and she has never mentioned that she wants Xu Wanning to have another child.
"Well, I won't give birth anymore. I have such lovely and filial children as Dachun and Yaomei, and I am already satisfied."
"Okay, you should go to bed early. I'm afraid I'm exhausted after staying in the hospital for a few days. "
Xu Wanning is indeed a little tired. There is a shortage of beds in the hospital, and the caregiver can only sit on the bench in the corridor and take a nap, so she really hasn't rested for several days.
Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Wanning was awakened by a burst of noise.
She calmed down for a while, then turned over and got out of bed.
In the courtyard of the Lin family, there were more than a dozen aunties and aunts from the village who had a good relationship with Lin's mother.
Because Lin's mother was not allowed to enter the house, more than a dozen people stood in the yard chatting. It happened to be a group of people with loud voices, so it was rare for Xu Wanning to avoid the clamor of her biological clock, but she still couldn't sleep in.
"Hey, Aning is awake. Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet. Aunt Yang, why are you coming to my house so early?" Xu Wanning asked bluntly.
She was hungry, hadn't slept well, and was already on the verge of being irritable, so it would be better if she didn't get angry directly.
"Let's talk to your mother about something. Well, you don't have to worry about us. It's important to be busy with your own serious business."
After hearing this, Xu Wanning turned around and went to the kitchen.
Dachun and Yaomei were clumsily adding water to the big iron pot.
But Yaomei was too small and the stove was high. She almost fell into the iron pot. Fortunately, Xu Wanning hugged her quickly.
"What do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you."
"Brother said that Mom is exhausted these days and wants to make some egg drop soup for Mom, but we haven't boiled the water yet."
Dachun was working hard to make it. After adding firewood to the stove, the water in the back pot was boiling, and the water in the front pot was only boiling for a few seconds.
"Silly Chun'er, you put the firewood too far back, so the firepower is concentrated on the back pot. If you put the firewood a little further to the front, the pot will heat up quickly."
Dachun put the firewood according to the method taught by Xu Wanning, Sure enough, after a while, the water boiled.
Xu Wanning brought five eggs to Yaomei: "Aren't Yaomei going to make egg drop soup for Mom? Come on, Mom will teach you."
Xu Wanning did not deprive the children of their filial piety in wanting to make breakfast for her, but accompanied them. Made a breakfast.
As for those uninvited people in the yard, she had no intention of paying any attention to them.
After the egg drop soup was ready, Yaomei was about to serve it out, but was stopped by Xu Wanning.
"I'll come, you and your brother sit down obediently and get ready to eat."
She was afraid that Yaomei's hand would be unstable and she would pour the boiling soup on her hand and get injured again.
Carrying Dachun and Yaomei on her back, she took eight large meat buns bought at a state-owned restaurant from the space, steamed them over the remaining fire, and brought them to the table to eat with the children.
"This bowl of egg drop soup and two meat buns belong to grandma. After those people in the yard leave, I will give them to grandma to eat."
Even people in the village know that the Lin family is living a better life now, and they have meat and refined grains to eat almost every other day. , but the specific method is only in their imagination.
If Xu Wanning showed her breakfast in front of so many people at this time, bad things about their family would be spread throughout the village tomorrow.
She doesn't want to be the center of public opinion.
Mother Lin finally persuaded the group to leave with all her persuasion.
After breakfast, Mother Lin said: "The villagers found out somewhere that a branch of the food factory was going to be built in our Dajiang Village, and you were the person in charge, so they gave the idea to you. Please help me and arrange a position for them."
Xu Wanning was not surprised at all, after all, this is human nature.
But she was not willing to accept the offer.
"Mom, I can't open my mouth to help them. Otherwise, once this precedent is set, and other people in the village come to ask for help in the future, will I help or not?"
"Food factories have their own criteria for selecting employees, and they are very demanding. Not everyone can do it. It meets the requirements. Furthermore, there are a certain number of people who need it. If I help this person or not, it will be easier for me to get into trouble, so I might as well not help anyone next time." "
Next time these people come, you can see. Can you help me stop it? If you can't, I'll tell them the truth."
Xu Wanning wanted to leave a good impression on the villagers so that her life in Dajiang Village could be more comfortable.
But if the villagers are unwilling to cooperate, she can only solve the problem in her own way.
Anyway, she won't be able to stay in Dajiang Village for long.
There is no need to look at people's faces.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. That's it..."
Mother Lin hesitated.
Xu Wanjing looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.
But Mother Lin just sighed heavily and said nothing.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me." "It's
nothing important. Have you all eaten well? I'll wash the dishes after you eat."
"I'll wash the dishes. You can rest for a while."
"I'll do it . , Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so you can go and do your serious business."
Seeing this, Xu Wanning stopped pushing. After giving Dachun and Yaomei their homework for the day, she continued to draw the design draft of the machine.
She had drawn a version from memory before, but when Dongzi showed it to a master who knew mechanics, he pointed out many problems, so she had no choice but to take it back and revise it again.
Before you know it, the new year has arrived.
Every household has window grilles, and the Lin family is no exception.
The window grilles at home were cut out by Mother Lin with her own hands. Xu Wanning sat aside and looked at them for a while, only to see a whole piece of white paper. After a few strokes in Mother Lin's hands, it turned into a complicated window grille.
"As I get older, my eyesight really can't keep up, otherwise I would still be able to cut out the paper-cut paintings of Dachun and Yaomei." Mother Lin's tone was quite proud.
In Aning's words, she is a skilled little old lady.
