Lu Zhi clenched the quilt tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were twitching.
It wasn't until Erbao sobbed that he asked him if he wanted a mother, that he just scolded him with a straight face: "If a man has tears, he won't shed them easily. How can he be so unbecoming if he cries and moans!"
As soon as Lu Zhi became serious, everyone was afraid of her, so the three little ones fell silent almost at the same time.
"Dad, how about I go to grandma's house to have a look?" Sanya asked tentatively.
"Yeah, daddy, Sanya and I will go together!" Erbao nodded with red eyes.
They all know that going to Grandma's house is nothing more than going to Lin's house.
They want to find Lin Ziyan, and then ask Lin Ziyan to return his mother to them!
Lu Zhi's frown deepened, and before he could say anything, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps outside, and then Li Tannian's slightly cold voice came.
"Er Bao, San Ya, Xiao Si Bao, are you hungry?"
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then, the expressions of ecstasy appeared on the faces of the three stunned little animals, and they ran outside in a swarm!
So, a scene like this happened in the small courtyard: Before Li Tannian could put down her backpack, the three little ones rushed towards her.
Sanya was the first to hug her left leg, and then Erbao hugged her right leg. Little Sibao suffered the disadvantage of having short legs and couldn't win over her older brother and sister. In the end, she simply held Li Tannian's hand without losing it.
.
"Mom! You're finally back!" Sanya almost cried out of joy.
The second baby and the little fourth baby were not much better. Tears welled up in their eyes, but they were afraid of being scolded by their father and did not dare to make a sound.
Li Tannian noticed something unusual about several children and couldn't help but frown: "What's wrong?"
"Mom, I want to go to town with you from now on." Sanya shook her head, a little aggrieved, "We are worried about you because you didn't come back so late."
Li Tannian felt that her clothes were wet from their tears. After a moment of confusion, she couldn't help but laugh: "Afraid I won't come back?"
The three little ones looked at her at the same time, with a trace of fear clearly in their eyes.
Li Tannian's heart softened, and he suddenly regretted saying such words to his child.
"I was just selling things, which wasted time. Look, I even bought you steamed buns and pancakes." Li Tannian said, and handed them the steamed buns and pancakes in oil paper bags.
"Is it really just because of selling things?" Sanya asked, and Erbao and Xiaosibao looked at her at the same time.
It is rare that these guys were not fascinated by the food in front of them.
Li Tannian looked at their expressions of fear of being abandoned, and his heart was touched. He finally knelt down and nodded solemnly towards them.
"Yes, Mom made a lot of money by selling the recipe of sheep and scorpions, and she also bought you pork ribs. Let's continue to eat sweet and sour pork ribs tonight, okay?"
The faces of the three little ones relaxed and they responded in unison.
Li Tannian poured a glass of water, filled some steamed buns and pancakes, and was about to go back to the east room. At some point, he saw that Lu Zhi had already used his crutch and was standing at the door of the room looking at her.
"Are you tired?" Seeing her look, he gently twitched the corners of his lips and smiled at her, "Thank you for your hard work."
The man's voice was hoarse and low, which was indescribably pleasant. When paired with his jade-like handsome face, anyone would feel overwhelmed.
As a normal person, Li Tannian also has a love for beauty, so he couldn't help but look at him.
However, just one glance made her feel an indescribable awkwardness.
"Let's eat." When the buns and fried dough sticks were brought to his room, Lu Zhi followed up with his cane in his hand: "Have you eaten yet? Don't starve yourself."
Li Tannian gave him a dull look. She finally understood why she felt awkward. Lu Zhi's behavior was really weird!
Is it possible that this man is also afraid that she will not come back?
The corner of Li Tannian's mouth twitched: "You still look better when you don't smile."
This smile, no matter how you look at it, looks like a smiling tiger. It always gives her the feeling that this person is sharpening his sword.
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Seeing her walking away, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly and returned to his previous cold look.
Lu Zhi admits that he is not a good person, and he will not easily believe what others say.
Regardless of whether what this woman said today was true or not, he only knew that he had to keep her until his legs and feet were healed...
After Li Tannian went out, Sanya had already poured some cold drinks for her. The ladies were sitting in the main room, eating steamed buns and fried pancakes, chatting at random.
The April wind, carrying a hint of coolness, blew from the front of the hall.
Sanya and the others were already planning to use rock-paper-scissors to determine who would go out with Li Tannian today. Li Tannian glanced at Erbao and Xiaosibao.
"Let's take Little Four Treasures with me today. The pancakes are not easy to digest, so he ate two more pieces. I just happened to take him out for some activities. Er Bao will follow along and be responsible for watching over Little Four Treasures for me."
Erbao and Xiaosibao's eyes suddenly lit up, but Sanya said with some amusement: "Mom is trying to open the back door for others in a different way."
Li Tannian was funny: "Sister should let the younger brother go."
Her mother had already made her decision, could Sanya still object? However, when she thought that Er Bao had taken advantage of it, she couldn't help but look at Er Bao resentfully.
However, after the meal, before the ladies went out, they heard little Yang's furious voice coming from outside the courtyard.
"Li Tannian, come out!"
When Li Tannian turned around, he saw little Yang, with a red and swollen face, walking quickly from outside.
She was so aggressive and had a gloomy expression that the three little ones all shrank back behind Li Tannian in fright.
When they realized that this man was here to target their mother, the three little ones stood in a row and stood in front of Li Tannian with pale faces.
"It's okay." Li Tannian laughed and pulled the three children, whose faces turned pale with fright, behind him to protect them, and then slowly looked towards little Yang.
She had already guessed that Little Yang would come, but she didn't expect that she would come so quickly. When her eyes fell on the red and swollen half of her face, she couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Look, it looks like he was beaten hard.
When Xiao Yang saw her smiling, she immediately became more and more annoyed: "Why are you laughing!"
When she just came back from the village entrance with her face covered, she attracted a lot of looking eyes.
Although she didn't hear what those people said, she could imagine what those people were thinking.
This time, she really lost face.
"Li Tannian, you did it on purpose, right?"
"On purpose? What on purpose?" Li Tannian looked puzzled, "Second sister-in-law, who are you fighting with?"
"Li Tannian, you are still pretending to me that you asked those people to come out to arrest me, isn't it? Li Tannian, you black-hearted person, I am your second sister-in-law, and you are actually bullying me with outsiders!"
Li Tannian grinned: "Don't you think that your behavior is more like stealing the chicken but losing the rice?"
