Yu Sui rode her bike slowly. After Aunt Qiu walked away, she turned the bike around and rode to Ding Lili's in-laws' house to take a look.
The scene was devastated.
The small courtyard that was originally surrounded by a wall was probably demolished in the rush to put out the fire. Now only blackened bricks and a twisted iron gate remain.
You can imagine that the fire was quite big at that time.
I don’t know where Ding Lili’s mother-in-law and her family live. Judging from the fact that the house still looks abandoned, this yard probably doesn’t belong to her in-laws.
An old lady passed by. Yu Sui thought for a moment and couldn't help but stop her and ask, "Hey, auntie, do you know where the people in this family live now?"
The old lady looked at the ruins and shook her head. "Oh, Shi Min's family? I don't know. Their house burned down, and the district office helped them find a temporary place to stay. I haven't seen them since. I don't know where they are."
"Oh, thank you."
Yu Sui sighed and walked away silently.
That child... after all, he is the grandson of this family, they shouldn't ignore him.
well!
When Yu Sui returned home, little Tangyuan staggered over to her and said, "Mommy!" He looked up and smiled, showing his little baby teeth.
Yu Sui picked him up and kissed him again and again with great affection, her heart filled with an unprecedented sense of responsibility and sadness.
As a mother, she should be careful with her words and actions. She would never let herself do something irreversible like Ding Lili did, causing little Tangyuan to fall into the hands of others to be raised.
How sad it is for a child without a mother!
Even for the sake of your children, you have to learn to control your emotions. How can you let yourself lose control to the point of losing your freedom?
Xia Xiao'e noticed Yu Sui's mood and came out to ask, "Sister-in-law, you're back. What's wrong with you? Did something happen? Why are you so serious?"
Yu Sui shook her head: "Nothing, I'm going to cook. You've been taking care of Xiao Tangyuan these past few days. I've found her place to live, we'll move in someday."
"Okay, okay." Xiao E looked at Yu Sui with concern. She was relieved that Yu Sui was really serious about cooking and there was nothing unusual.
At night, Yu Sui couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she simply got out of bed and wrote a letter.
She told Xia Linsheng about Ding Lili's situation and asked Xia Linsheng to secretly find out whether Ding Lili's child had been sent to Captain Ding to be raised.
After expressing her feelings to Xia Linsheng, Yu Sui finally expressed her inner depression and felt a little better.
Three days later, Yu Qi returned with Sun Yuying and two nieces.
Because Yu Qi was there, Yu Sui didn't go to the train station to pick her up this time. She just prepared dinner at home with Xia Xiao'e.
Xia Xiao'e started talking non-stop: "Sister-in-law, is it okay to cook the meat like this?"
Yu Sui: "Very good."
"Would you like me to put another spoonful of sugar in it?"
"OK."
"Sister-in-law, this dish doesn't have the flavor of the ones we have back home. Do you think Auntie likes it?"
"I think it's okay."
"Sister-in-law, should we cook more rice? Yu Qi eats a lot, right?"
Why would I ask about these things before? Xia Xiao'e cooked everything by herself.
What does this mean?
Yu Sui finally stopped what she was doing and looked at Xia Xiao'e.
Xia Xiao'e smiled foolishly at her: "Hehehe, sister-in-law, the house is going to be lively all of a sudden. I'm so happy."
Yu Sui also smiled: "Yes, for Yu Qi... they are back, you must be happy, but you can cook whatever you want, just like when you were young. Don't spoil Yu Qi. Uh, Yu Qi and the others are all family, there is nothing wrong with eating anything, whether they like it or not. Whoever dares to dislike it will let them cook from now on."
Xia Xiao'e turned into a girl who could only smile foolishly, laughing over there.
But when there was a knock on the door, Xia Xiao'e shrank into the corner of the kitchen, pretending to wash dishes or something, and did not open the door.
Yu Sui had no choice but to open the door herself.
Children grow up fast. After only two months of not seeing each other, Lanlan and Guoguo had grown taller. They rushed towards Yu Sui and said, "Auntie, we are here."
"Oh! We're finally here. Auntie has missed you guys so much."
The two little girls ran away immediately, shouting "Little Tangyuan, little Tangyuan" to look for their little brother.
Yu Qi, carrying his luggage, kept looking inside and yelling, "Where's Xia Xiao'e? Xia Xiao'e, come out and help me get my things. You have no sense at all. What are you doing hiding in there?"
Xia Xiao'e came out immediately: "Why should I hide? I'm washing dishes. You're the boss, making such a fuss as soon as you come in. If I need to help, I should help Auntie get her things first."
The girl rolled her eyes at Yu Qi and immediately went to help Sun Yuying get the things in her hands: "Auntie, give it to me. I fried your favorite spinach and pork! I missed you so much!"
Sun Yuying smiled when she saw Xia Xiao'e: "Oh, Xiao'e, you know what I like to eat. Auntie missed you too. I brought you some pickled bean pods from my hometown. Do you want to eat some?"
"Yes, yes, yes, oh, Auntie, you are so naughty."
The two of them walked into the house arm in arm.
Yu Sui looked at Yu Qi and took a deep breath at their backs.
Everyone who should have arrived in the capital had arrived, so it was a small reunion and the family had dinner early.
During the meal, Yu Sui asked her father, "What did Dad say? When can I come out?"
Sun Yuying shook her head. "He doesn't want to, for many reasons. First, he says we're farmers after all, so we still have to work hard at the land. Now that your uncle is helping him, it's not too hard for him. It's quite free. As long as he gets enough food, he can grow whatever he wants. He's happy. He feels less tired in the city without soil to touch. And then there's the matter of He Miao and his bonsai trees. Do you remember Gu Kangnian from Shanghai? The one who came to our house to thank you and gave us money and meat?"
Yu Sui nodded: "I remember, what's the matter?"
Sun Yuying: "He comes here often now, and partners with your father to sell those bonsai. Usually he tells your father what shape he wants, and your father and your sixth uncle tinker with it. He helps us sell it. Oh, it's much more profitable than farming, and the days are getting better and better. Your father and your sixth uncle have earned hundreds of dollars, which makes Zhang Caifeng very happy. She said that she will let your sixth uncle and your father do this in the future. Look, your father asked me to pay you back 200 yuan first, and the rest will be paid back as soon as possible."
Sun Yuying didn't even eat her meal, she just took out money from her pocket.
Yu Sui never thought that the money she used to build a house for her family would be taken back, so she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no need to rush to pay it back."
"That won't do. Even brothers should settle accounts. You're a married woman, and this money doesn't belong to you alone. Xia Linsheng earned it, so he should pay it back."
Sun Yuying insisted on giving it to Yu Sui, and even nodded in the direction of Xia Xiao'e, meaning to let Xia Xiao'e see that she would pay back the money.
The remaining ears of corn have been collected first.
