That evening, Su Jingjing told the reporter at the dinner table that she wanted to go back to her hometown.
The two children immediately stopped eating.
Li Yuanyuan asked happily, "Mom, did Auntie give birth to a sister or a brother?"
Forehead…
Su Jingjing then realized that she didn't seem to know either.
Li Hanting: "It's a younger brother."
Li Yuanyuan was deflated; she had thought it was her younger sister.
It's okay, Auntie gave birth to a little brother, and Mom will give her a little sister.
"Mom, I want to play with the little brother too."
Su Jingjing was at a loss for words. "Your little brother is still young, and you and your brother still have to go to school. Dad will take care of you at home, and Mom will try to come back as soon as possible."
Li Hanting said in a deep voice, "Wife, stay a few more days and take good care of your mother at home. I will take good care of the children."
Then he said to his daughter, "Yuanyuan, be good, I'll take you back next time."
Li Yuanyuan lowered her disappointed eyes. Although her father loved her, he would never compromise when it came to her mother's affairs.
Su Jingjing couldn't bear to see her child sad. "Next holiday, Mom will definitely take you and your brother back to see your grandparents."
"Mom, pinky promise."
Li Yuanyuan extended her pinky finger, something she had learned from her deskmate.
"Okay, pinky promise."
The next day, after Su Jingjing sent the two children to school, A Ting took her to catch a ride.
Li Hanting handed over the package, his eyes filled with worry, "Wife, be careful on the way."
"Okay, the train is about to depart, you should go back now."
Su Jingjing waved to the man and got into the car.
After a bumpy four-hour ride, we finally arrived in town.
Her family didn't know she was coming back, so they didn't ask her brother to come and pick her up.
Seeing that it was still early, Su Jingjing went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative and bought some more meat and vegetables.
Following my memory, I found the oxcart that led to Sujiazhuang.
The oxcart driver was an elderly man. He looked at her and seemed to recognize her. He asked in confusion, "Young lady, are you from our Su Family Village?"
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "Uncle, I am Su Xiang's daughter, Su Jingjing."
Su Jingjing?
The people on the oxcart were shocked, all wearing expressions of disbelief.
Everyone knows the village chief, but his youngest daughter doesn't look like this.
My memory of her is that she was chubby and spoke fiercely, unlike how gentle she is now.
"Are you really Su Jingjing from the village chief's family?"
A rural woman was carrying an empty vegetable basket, presumably because she had sold all her vegetables.
My goodness, the city really nourishes people.
This girl is so slim now, she looks quite like Yan Ling when she was young.
"Yes, ma'am."
Su Jingjing regretted taking this train.
Then things quieted down, but everyone's eyes kept glancing at her.
Fortunately, Sujiazhuang is not that far from the town; it only took less than half an hour to get there.
The kind old man said, "Young lady, would you like me to walk you to the door?"
"No need, thank you, sir. It's just a short walk away."
Su Jingjing looked in the direction of her home, which was located in the center of the village, in an excellent location.
After giving the money to the old man, he hurried home.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, it was quiet inside; they must still be working in the fields.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the room on the west side. Su Jingjing's heart tightened, and she immediately ran inside.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Dong Qin paused in picking up her things, then looked up and met her sister-in-law's gaze.
Her lips moved slightly, "Jing, Jingjing, why are you back?"
Seeing that it was the washbasin that had fallen, Su Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, put the things down, and slowly walked over. "Mom called to say you gave birth, so I rushed back today."
Seeing a slight movement on the bed, she leaned closer and exclaimed happily, "Is this my nephew?"
Dong Qin was truly touched that her sister-in-law rushed back so urgently.
"Hmm, do you want a hug?"
Su Jingjing was eager to try, "Okay, I'll give it a shot."
Dong Qin gently picked up her son and slowly handed him to her sister-in-law.
Seeing the other person's clumsy technique, I couldn't help but wonder, didn't my sister-in-law give birth to An'an and Yuanyuan? How come she looks like she's never held a baby before?
The next second she felt relieved. When An'an and Yuanyuan were little, her sister-in-law completely ignored them, so how could she hug them?
What a soft child!
Su Jingjing didn't dare to use any force, for fear of hurting the child.
Suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, she exclaimed, "Hey, my sister-in-law smiled at me!"
Dong Qin was surprised to see her son grin, and smiled gently, "Maybe he really likes you as his aunt."
My son was born looking like a little old man. In the last few days, as he's grown up, the red marks on his face have slowly faded, but I've still never seen him smile.
Su Jingjing continued to amuse the child, using all the knowledge she had acquired throughout her life.
"Sister-in-law, I think your nose and eyes look like my brother's, and your mouth looks like yours."
"That's what Mom and the others said too."
Dong Qin said with a happy expression that this pregnancy was a son, and she could finally put her mind at ease.
These past two days, her mother-in-law has been exceptionally kind to her, not only taking care of her with her meals but also showing concern for her with her words.
She was just an ordinary woman who felt hopeful about life because she received love from her husband and care from her mother-in-law.
"By the way, if you come alone, who will take care of An'an and Yuanyuan?"
“Ah Ting is home.” Su Jingjing said without looking up. “By the way, sister-in-law, have you named the little one yet?”
"not yet."
Dong Qin leaned against the headboard. "Dad said he'd look through the dictionary again."
This shows how much the whole family values the little one.
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
Yan Ling was working in the field when she heard someone say that her daughter had returned. She immediately put down what she was doing and ran back without stopping.
Despite her age, she still runs with great energy.
The old man wanted to come back too, but he couldn't leave.
When she returned to the courtyard and couldn't find her daughter, she knew she must be in Xiao Qin's room.
Gently push open the door, "It really is here."
"mom."
The two greeted their mother quietly.
"Hey, keep your voice down, don't disturb my precious grandson."
Yan Ling slowed her pace and walked over. Usually carefree, she was completely oblivious in front of her grandson.
He grinned happily, "I'm awake."
"Your pouty little mouth is so cute."
"Come here, let me hold you." Yan Ling's hands were itching to take her grandson.
After teasing her for a while, he turned to his daughter and said, "You should have had your brother pick you up when you got back."
My daughter came back by herself. What if she encountered bad people?
However, she did not expect her daughter to act so quickly.
After understanding her mother's thoughts, Su Jingjing said helplessly, "I thought I could manage on my own, so I won't trouble my brother."
Besides, I imagine my brother has been incredibly busy these past few days.
Yan Ling laughed in exasperation, "What's the trouble with family?"
Dong Qin echoed her mother-in-law's words, "Yes, anyway, the work in the fields isn't too busy, so Dashan should come and pick you up."
Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law treated her well, and Dong Qin was willing to treat them with sincerity in return.
