When Lin saw Wu coming, she told her about her idea of buying fish.
Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "Your brother returned suddenly, and the family is not prepared. Before it gets dark, I will ask your sister-in-law to go to Zhoujia Village!"
Lin then took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Wu: "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law!"
Wu took the copper coin and said to Liu who was looking at the goods, "There are a lot of people here today. Take Daya to Zhoujia Village to buy some fish!" After that, she handed the copper coin to Liu.
Liu took the copper coins and immediately agreed. She thought that when she went to Zhou's house to buy fish, she might not have to spend any money. Wouldn't that be a good deal for her?
Thinking of this, Liu immediately went home and called Daya to rush to the small fishing village.
Maomao, who was playing with his elder sister in the room, heard his mother say that Li Yan was back. He immediately ran to Li Yan's room with his short legs, panting.
Today he was wearing a newly made cotton-padded jacket and a melon-shaped cap, wrapping himself up like a round ball! He ran towards Li Yan's room, huffing and puffing, yelling, "Second sister, second sister! You're back!"
When he rushed into Li Yan's room, Li Yan was changing into the new cotton-padded jacket made by Lin. The little guy was panting and rushed to Li Yan. When he really saw his second sister whom he had been thinking about, Maomao suddenly felt very wronged.
Little golden beans fell unconsciously from the corner of his eyes. Li Yan hurried forward to comfort him: "Maomao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy to see your second sister?"
The little guy couldn't hold back any longer when Li Yan asked softly, and burst into tears, choking and saying, "Second sister, why did you take so long to come back?"
The crying attracted Mrs. Lin. Seeing her daughter standing in front of Maomao, bewildered, Mrs. Lin gently stroked Maomao's back and coaxed her softly, "Don't you come home every day to ask if your second sister has returned? Now that your second sister is back, why are you still crying?"
The child sobbed and lay on Lin's shoulder. He must have felt ashamed and refused to raise his face!
Lin coaxed Maomao gently and gave Li Yan a reproachful look.
Li Yan knew she was in the wrong, so she stepped forward to comfort him, "Maomao, stop crying. How about I make you something delicious tonight?"
Only when Maomao heard that there was something delicious did he pay attention to Li Yan.
After Li Yan coaxed Maomao, the two went to the kitchen, where Mrs. Wu was preparing dinner.
Li Yan shouted, "Milk!"
Upon hearing this, Wu looked up and was stunned! She immediately put down her work, walked over to Li Yan and said distressedly, "This child, you've become so thin after going out. I'm afraid a gust of wind would blow you away!"
In order to prove that she was strong despite being thin, Li Yan picked up Maomao from the ground and said to Wu: "Don't worry, grandma. Don't look at me because I'm thin. I have a lot of strength now!" After that, she shook Maomao in her hand up and down.
Maomao was laughing so hard because of him tossing and turning. Wu stopped him and said, "Enough, enough, don't let him fall!"
Li Yan put Maomao down and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing tonight? Let me help you!"
Wu sent Li Yan away and said, "Alright, we don't need you here. Go help your mother entertain your uncle and the others. She's not very mobile right now, so please stay and look after her!"
Li Yan nodded, picked up the kettle that was heating on the stove, took a few bowls, and brought Maomao to the yard. At this time, Monkey and his group were busy unloading the goods from the truck.
