"I may not be able to make a decision right now. I have to wait for Hancheng to come back. He sent Ling Mu's grandmother to the county town this morning," Chu Yuefang said. "He won't be back until the evening. I have to tell him."
No matter what, Chu Yuefang's husband is not around now, and she can't decide to raise the child on her own.
Having another person in the family is a big deal.
The Ling family had many children, so life must have been difficult. However, one of their ancestors was a scholar, and they always attached great importance to reading and writing. That's why Ling Hancheng became a teacher in the town's primary school and received a salary subsidy.
Although the profit is not much, it is much easier than farming.
In addition to this, the Ling family also cultivated a lot of land. Chu Yuefang was a good worker. In addition, although the sons of the Ling family were young, they were very strong and often went to the fields to work with them.
They had a large family and a lot of land, plus some subsidies occasionally sent by Uncle Ling. Their life was not very good, but they had no worries about food and drink.
But it can't be much better. Ling Hancheng receives salary subsidies and his family works on the land, so no one can live a wealthy life.
But the Ling family's roots are here. Even if the eldest uncle of the Ling family leaves, he will leave, but Ling Hancheng will never leave in this life. Although life is a little ordinary, he is satisfied.
In this situation, Chu Yuefang certainly couldn't just decide on her own to have another child.
Li Feng nodded without surprise:
"I have to talk to Brother Hancheng about this. Otherwise, I'll take the child back first, and then if you decide to keep the child..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Feng felt that her cousin and eldest nephew were staring at her with an incredulous look as if to say "How could you take the baby away?"
...In any case, it doesn't seem like they would return the child without their husband's consent.
Li Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"If you want it, just say so. Why are you making excuses?" Li Feng muttered a few words and waved his hand. "Alright, I'll keep the child at your house for now. If it doesn't work out, you can send him back to me. Is that okay?"
Chu Yuefang and her son's expressions finally relaxed, as if they were relieved.
Ling Mu thought about it, rummaged through the drawer beside him, and then took out an oil-paper bag.
"Auntie Feng, these candies are for my younger brothers and sisters."
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then took it with a smile.
Why does this seem like a "return gift" for her sending the child over?
But it's worth it. What Ling Mu gave is definitely not something that can be bought casually. It is probably something new sent by their uncle in Tianjing.
Li Feng took the candy given by her nephew and half a pound of bacon given by Chu Yuefang, wrapped herself in her cotton-padded jacket again and went out.
This time, after braving the wind and snow, we finally returned with a full load.
Ling Mu, who was following behind, quickly and carefully closed the door curtain again, turned back into the house and opened the air vent under the stove a little wider.
The flames flickered and the warmth in the room grew stronger and stronger.
"That candy... didn't you say before that it was expensive and that you were going to save it for your brothers to eat slowly?"
Chu Yuefang blinked and said to her eldest son.
Why did they all attack at once?
Ling Mu pursed his lips, glanced at the red swaddling clothes on the bed and said nothing.
A little red gradually appeared on the tip of the ear.
"You actually want a younger sister too, don't you? Mom finally sees it!" Chu Yuefang said suddenly, "I thought you didn't want a younger sister that much."
She hated Ling Mu the most when she went to the neighbor's house. Usually, the second and third brothers were the ones who asked for a younger sister the most. Ling Mu, the eldest brother, was much quieter and silent than them.
Chu Yuefang actually always thought that among her children, only her eldest son wanted a younger sister less.
But I didn't expect that he would be willing to give so much candy to Li Feng.
When Ling Mu heard this, he looked up at his mother and said in a firm tone:
"I like it. My sister is cute."
"As long as it's our own."
The girl next door could never be theirs, but this one was completely different.
Ling Mu wanted a sister, a sister who belonged completely to his family.
Chu Yuefang: “…” So that’s how it is.
Ling Mu looked at the little girl on the bed who was burping contentedly after drinking milk.
I exchanged candy for such a lovely sister.
Very worth it.
O(∩_∩)O
"It's getting late. The second and third brothers should be back soon. Just go and make some noodles."
Chu Yuefang said to her eldest son.
Ling Mu nodded, and walked to the door with a reluctant look, looking back every few steps.
Chu Yuefang hurriedly shouted, "Why don't we do it here?"
There is also a stove here, and simple meals are usually cooked on this stove.
Ling Mu replied, "It's noisy."
Chu Yuefang raised her eyebrows slightly as she watched the door curtain being quickly opened and then closed.
Why weren’t you afraid of noise when you cooked here before?
The only difference now is that there is a little dumpling.
Chu Yuefang glanced at her little son who was sleeping soundly beside her.
It seems that this eldest son is also "partial"~
Ling Mu went to the kitchen under the drifting snowflakes. It was called a kitchen, but in fact it was the room of the second, third and fourth brothers of the Ling family. It was only separated by a curtain and used as half a kitchen. In this way, the room would not be cold in winter because of the stove, and the stove would be moved outside when it was hot in summer.
Although Ling Mu is only twelve years old, he is very familiar with cooking.
Put the homemade lard into the iron pot and heat it over high heat. The white lard will melt immediately and turn into a shiny color.
Pour the beaten egg liquid in and stir it quickly with a spatula.
Then throw the washed and chopped cabbage in and stir quickly a few times.
