After seeing Sun Jiaxue's calmness, Li Mingqing said, "Old Lady Xu might come again in the future. Don't bother with her then."
"Maybe Wang Dahua will come with the baby."
"That's for sure."
"I now suspect that it was the Xu family who deliberately sent Wang Dahua here."
"Probably not."
If it was really intentional, Old Lady Xu would definitely follow and would not give up such a good opportunity.
The next day.
Old Mrs. Xu carried the child to find the old house.
"Sister, what are you busy with?"
Old Lady Li saw that there was no smile on her face and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just came to chat with you. Look at how handsome my grandson is."
"Then go home and read it yourself slowly."
Mrs. Xu was not angry and continued, "My grandson Yaozu has a good relationship with your youngest son's family. You can talk to Mingqing and his wife and ask them to recognize him as a godparent."
Old Lady Li couldn't believe what she heard.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our family doesn't believe in godparents."
"Big sister, listen to me. I think Jiaxue is pregnant with a girl. If she adopts my son as her godson, we'll have both a son and a daughter."
"Don't dream, this matter is not negotiable."
Unless the Li family is stupid, they will not recognize each other as relatives with the Xu family.
Besides, my daughter is not bad, and she has several grandchildren. What's the point of recognizing her as a godparent?
The Xu family only cares about good things, and no one in the entire village is willing to recognize them as relatives.
Yang Daya hugged Si Niu and said, "Auntie, my Si Niu is much more well-behaved than your Yaozu. You might as well do some work with your time."
The contrast between Si Niu and Yao Zu is indeed stark.
But Old Lady Xu said, "My grandson is fair and clean, and much more lovable than yours, this money-loser."
"Haha, you're lying with your eyes open. Let's go now."
Old Lady Xu glared at Yang Daya fiercely, then turned to persuade Old Lady Li: "Think about what I'm saying. There's nothing wrong with having a grandson."
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, just go away."
Only then did Old Lady Xu reluctantly leave with the child in her arms.
Sun Jiaxue came out with a bowl of noodles and met her face to face.
"Hey, isn't this my niece's wife? Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the old house."
"As a daughter-in-law, you are really generous. You are willing to give these white noodles to your mother-in-law."
She didn't want to talk to Old Lady Xu and just went into the house.
After she left, Old Lady Xu scolded her, "You're so stupid! You don't keep the good things for yourself."
As soon as Sun Jiaxue entered the yard, she heard Yang Daya cursing.
"Mom, this old lady Xu is probably crazy. She wants to adopt a godparent. That's a nice thought. We absolutely cannot let her do that."
"Calm down, no one agrees."
"Mother, Third Sister-in-law, has Old Lady Xu been here?"
"Yeah, but we didn't treat her well. She's really thick-skinned."
He handed the noodles in his hand to Old Lady Li.
"Mom, there are too many noodles. I'll send you a bowl."
"That's true. Your father and I haven't eaten yet. What a coincidence. Jiaxue, if the Xu family comes to cause trouble for you again, just ignore them."
"Yeah, Mom, we know."
Sun Jiaxue told Li Mingqing about this when she got home.
"Wife, it's okay. Wait until Old Lady Xu finds it's useless and stops trying."
"well--"
"Why are you sighing? It's nothing."
The two of them ate the noodles slowly, with a poached egg in it.
Li Mingqing is not going to work today.
After dinner, they went to the wheat field to watch the corn cobs being harvested.
Everyone sat on a small wooden stake, chatting and rubbing corn, and they were very lively.
Wu Tong called out, "Jiaxue, you're free here, come over here."
"Sister-in-law, I came to chat with you."
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You look a lot better now. People get uglier after pregnancy, but you're getting prettier and prettier."
Sun Jiaxue smiled embarrassedly after being praised.
Li Mingqing said, "My wife is always beautiful, why haven't you seen Brother Mingfu?"
"I went to the village office to deliver corn. I should be back soon."
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Li Mingfu came back pushing a wooden cart.
"Ming Qing, how come you are free today?"
"I'm taking a break today, so I'm going out for a walk. Where did you buy this car? I want one too, so it's convenient when I need it."
"You don't use it often, so when you need it, just borrow it from the village. Besides, your old Li family has some too."
He thought about it and it made sense.
There is not much farm work to do at home, and buying it will take up space.
Li Mingfu took out his pipe, which was filled with finely chopped tobacco leaves that he had dried himself.
He took out another stack of square-shaped paper.
He skillfully rolled the cigarette in just over ten seconds.
"A smoke?"
"I don't smoke. I've never seen you so skilled before."
"You call this proficiency? It's the result of years of practice. But you don't know that this paper was made by me when I was studying agriculture and industry."
"You should also go buy an old pipe to smoke."
"My dad used an old pipe very smoothly, but I really can't get used to it. It doesn't taste as good as cigarettes."
After Li Mingfu finished speaking, he whispered, "I don't dare to smoke every day, otherwise my wife will punish me."
Hearing this, Li Mingqing smiled.
Li Minglan came over from home, greeted Li Mingqing when she saw him, and went to find Wu Tong.
"Sister-in-law, this dustpan has been wrapped twice with rope. It should be able to last for two days."
