The next day, Gu Xingdong went to the team to report, while Chen Lishu and Chen Liyuan started cleaning up the house at home.
After all the sheets, quilts and clothes had been washed, Lin Xiaoyue came to visit with Wu Yan in her arms.
I haven’t seen him for more than a month, and Xiao Wu Yan has grown up a lot. Everything he sees with his big eyes is very novel. The weather is hot, and his arms like lotus joints are exposed. At the moment, he is licking his fingers and looking at it with a confused expression.
By Chen Lishu.
"Our little Wu Yan has grown so big, please give me a hug." Chen Lishu held him in her arms in a rare way.
When Wu Yan was in her arms, he neither cried nor fussed, but turned around and continued to look at the unfamiliar environment.
Lin Xiaoyue entered the house and smiled when she saw Chen Liyuan and said, "Is this your sister? She is as beautiful as you."
Chen Lishu nodded: "I just got admitted to a technical secondary school this year, and I'm going to go to school here at the beginning of the semester, so I happened to bring someone here in advance."
Then he turned back to Chen Liyuan and said, "Call me sister-in-law."
Chen Liyuan called out obediently: "Hello, sister-in-law."
When Lin Xiaoyue heard that Chen Liyuan was coming to study, she was immediately envious: "Brothers and sisters, how do you teach your children? Both of them study so well."
"Children from poor families get to know the governor early, and there is no other way besides going to school." Chen Lishu hugged Xiao Wu Yan and sat down with her.
When Wu Yan saw his mother, he finally came to his senses, twisted his body and shouted "Ahhh" with his little hands, "Ahhhh" to Lin Xiaoyue.
After calling twice and seeing that Lin Xiaoyue didn't move, he began to curl his little mouth in aggrieved manner, looking eagerly at her to see if she wanted to cry.
"You are really my biological son. It took a lot of effort to relax for a while, but you never let me have a moment of leisure." Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to get up and pick him up.
Chen Lishu smiled: "It's almost time. I'll be fine when I get older and can walk."
"By the way, we have a military service club here, did you know?"
Chen Lishu shook her head: "When did it open?"
"It's been almost half a month. We don't have many things. We just sell some needles, threads and brains that we use daily. We were hiring some people some time ago, but unfortunately I have to take care of my children, so I can't go there at all."
"Do you sell vegetables?" Chen Lishu asked: "There is no food at home, otherwise I have to go to the market to buy it."
"We don't sell it." Lin Xiaoyue said, "I know where to buy it. It's the village near us. The vegetables they grow on their own land are very cheap. I also heard what other military wives said, otherwise they would go back and forth to the market to order food.
It’s too much trouble here.”
Chen Lishu couldn't help but her eyes lit up: "I really should go take a look at that moment."
"It's cool now and I have nothing to do. I just want to take you there."
Soon the three of them took their net bags and went out together.
"Brothers and sisters, what are you doing?" As soon as he left the unit door, he happened to meet Wang Yufen, who was not far away, coming back with her child in her arms, followed by Wei Xiaoya.
It's been a long time since we last met, and Wang Yufen's whole person has changed a lot. In the past, her eyes were timid, but now she gives off a gloomy feeling.
Lin Xiaoyue replied: "Let's go buy some food."
Wang Yufen's eyes fell on Wu Yan in her arms, her eyes turned red, and without saying anything she carried the child and took Wei Xiaoya upstairs.
"Her second child was born prematurely. He was not in good health after he was born. He didn't have enough milk. He got sick every three days and spent a lot of money."
Chen Lishu couldn't help but sigh a little when she heard her words.
Thinking of something, Lin Xiaoyue leaned closer and lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, I heard that their family is asking about sending this child away during this time."
Chen Lishu was shocked: "Send away? No more?"
Lin Xiaoyue sighed: "I'm sick every three days and spend money, and I'm just a girl. Old Mrs. Wei scolds me every day for this, and my family is not clean. It'll be good if you come back. I can finally come out and hide."
Otherwise, just breastfeeding would be enough for her to have a headache. Wu Yan is getting bigger and bigger and eating more, but the Wei family still asks her to help breastfeed the baby every day. Looking at the crying baby, she doesn't know how to refuse.
Lin Xiaoyue took the two of them to the store where they often buy vegetables. After Chen Lishu finished shopping, she saw that the store also raised chickens, so she bought some eggs.
In the evening, Gu Xingdong came back and saw two dishes and one soup on the table, and asked with a smile: "Go to the city?"
"No, I bought it from a nearby village today. It's very cheap. It's several cents cheaper per pound than in the city."
Gu Xingdong quickly washed his hands, and soon the three of them sat together and started eating.
On the other side of the Wei family, Wei had just returned to the house after dinner. Wang Yufen glanced at Mrs. Wei, then glanced at the child who was about the size of a kitten in her arms, and said casually: "Mom, I'm taking Erya to see a doctor today.
When I came back, I met the Gu family from across the street."
Old Mrs. Wei was still brooding over the incident when Chen Lishu humiliated her. She finished the last mouthful of porridge with drooped eyelids, and then cursed: "She looks like a vixen, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and no flesh on her body.
She doesn’t look like a good person, why are you mentioning her? You have the time to take care of the child quickly. You are not satisfied with your own performance, and you have given birth to a debt collector in our old Wei family. You cry all day long. All your good luck has been ruined by this little one.
Baby, stop crying!"
When Wang Yufen saw her talking about this again, the resentment in her eyes flashed away, and she quickly forced out a smile: "Mom, I just think what you said before is quite right. I heard that she has been married for two or three years.
, and have never had children.”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she was a little proud. She curled her lips and sneered: "How can the Immortal judge people accurately? I said before that this is some kind of feudal superstition. Look at what she is capable of. Let me tell you, if you offend the Immortal, you will be punished."
If she accepts the punishment, she will never have a child in her life."
Wang Yufen sighed: "At any rate, her husband is the battalion commander, and the family conditions are not bad. Unlike our family, Erya is still...sigh."
"Who's to blame for this? It's not like you are a rip-off. Why did you marry someone like you when you were blind? Your family is so poor that they would pee blood. If you hadn't stolen food stamps,
Selling, can the child be born prematurely? How much money did the family spend on her? Find someone to send her out as soon as possible..."
Mrs. Wei cursed and suddenly paused.
Yes, the Gu family has no children. Battalion Commander Gu and Gangzi are still colleagues. Isn't it appropriate to give the child to their family? Wang Yufen looked at Mrs. Wei who was deep in thought and couldn't help but smile.
If this thing can really happen, the two families are so close to each other, which is equivalent to Chen Lishu raising her children for free. If it can't happen, this matter was brought up by Mrs. Wei herself and has nothing to do with her.
If a quarrel breaks out, Wei Gang will definitely drive Mrs. Wei home out of face.
Without this damn old lady scolding her every day, life would definitely go back to the way it was before.
