Li Rulan put down the bowl, then picked up the needle and thread and started working.
"Niannian is a girl, so we can't let her wear the clothes of those brats, right? We don't have any extra fabric at home, so I'll cut up my clothes and see how many clothes I can make for Niannian."
"But these clothes..." Shen Zhengwen opened his mouth to say something, but his eyes were full of guilt.
This piece of clothing is embroidered with a crabapple pattern, is light pink in color, and is made of high-quality materials. It is Li Rulan's favorite piece of clothing, and she is reluctant to wear it on weekdays for fear of getting damaged in the wash.
Now, I take it out and cut it into fabrics to make clothes for little Niannian.
But Li Rulan seemed to know what Shen Zhengwen was thinking, and explained with a smile: "The color of this dress is too young, and it is not suitable for my age. I might as well make some clothes for us."
Shen Zhengwen felt a little bitter because he blamed himself for not letting his family live a good life.
But on the surface, he still joked: "Sure enough, having a daughter is different. Those brats in our family haven't worn new clothes in many years. One piece of clothing, the eldest wears it after the second one wears it, and then the second one wears it.
After wearing it on the third child, and on the fourth and fifth child, the patched old one has almost become an heirloom of our family."
"You're still talking about me." Li Rulan glanced at him, "Don't think I don't know what you've been doing in the yard these two days."
In the past two days, Shen Zhengwen went to find someone to exchange a fish for a big tree and came back, braving the cold wind and making a cradle for little Niannian in the yard.
Li Rulan said angrily: "The cradle that Tuanzi Yuanzi was born in is worn out. When I asked you to make a new one, you always refused. But now that Nian Nian is here, you have taken the initiative to make one."
"The brats can just make do with the old ones, but we can't do that with Niannian!" Shen Zhengwen said with a hint of pride in his tone. He walked up to little Niannian and kissed her little face. "Our Niannian is a little girl.
Where’s the little lucky star?”
Little Niannian waved her little hands in protest, "Daddy, your beard is too prickly!"
At this moment, Huzi and his brothers ran back again, followed by several friends of the same age.
He and his friends gathered around Xiao Niannian, and Shen Zhengwen was forced to squeeze into a corner.
Huzi pointed at Xiao Niannian and said with a proud look on his face: "I'm not bragging. Come and see if my sister is the most beautiful sister in the world?"
"I want to see, I want to see!"
"I want to see too!"
For a moment, four or five little heads all stretched above Xiao Niannian, looking at her curiously.
A little girl with chilblains on her face said enviously: "Huzi, your sister's face is so white and beautiful. Doesn't she even have chilblains?"
The corner of Xiao Niannian's mouth twitched, should she have frostbite?
Someone stretched out his little hand and poked Xiao Niannian's face, exclaiming: "Wow! Her face is so tender, like the tofu buns freshly baked at my grandpa's house."
Hmm? Tofu brain? Xiao Niannian, who was originally lacking in interest, was instantly activated.
Thinking of Bai Huahua's sweet tofu curd made her mouth water.
"Ouch! She's drooling!"
"Wow, she's so cute even though she's drooling!"
"What is this?" Huzi stood among the children, like a proud big rooster, "My sister is the cutest when she smiles."
As he said that, he moved closer and said to little Niannian: "Come on, sister, smile for them!"
Xiao Niannian opened her small mouth and showed a standard fake smile, and her pink teeth were particularly dazzling.
Even though he was forced to open his business, he couldn’t let his brother lose face no matter what, right?
Her smile immediately made the children excited.
"Wow! This is so cute!"
"Can I hug her?"
"I want to hug you too! I want to hug you too!"
"No, no, no!" Huzi quickly stopped the enthusiastic fans who wanted to hold little Niannian, "My mother said that my sister is too young to hold her. Let me hold her for you when she grows up."
The children all showed disappointed expressions. Huzi proudly punched the boy standing next to him with his hand, "How about you, boss? My sister is cuter and prettier than your sister, right?"
Shen Zhengwen and Li Rulan laughed and laughed with the children. The couple looked at each other and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
Daniel glanced at Xiao Niannian. Although he was also cute, he was unwilling to admit this fact, so he tilted his head to one side unconvinced.
"What's the point of being cute and pretty? Otherwise, you're just a little brat."
"You!" Huzi was a little angry and wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.
"That's right! He's just a little kid, no matter how cute or pretty, what's the use?" At this moment, a woman wearing a lake blue jacket and skirt walked in.
The woman's face was clear and beautiful, and she wore a ponytail hairdo that was fashionable at the moment, with only a sapphire-dotted emerald hairpin.
Her clothes were not very gorgeous, but she had a powerful aura that was hard to ignore, which made the chirping children consciously quiet down.
"Even if she is a girl, she deserves to be treated as a treasure." The woman continued, with a hint of sarcasm and a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Haven't you heard the word? Beauty is a curse. A woman who is too good-looking will bring trouble."
When Li Rulan heard this, she looked at the person who came. Not only was she not angry, but she smiled in surprise.
"Ziyi, didn't you go to Kyoto to visit relatives? When did you come back? We haven't seen you for several months, but you are still so unforgiving."
The visitor was none other than her only handkerchief friend Sheng Ziyi. The two had known each other for more than ten years and had a very close relationship.
Sheng Ziyi walked to the bed and sat down, sighing slightly.
"I wanted to rush back before you gave birth, but it was a step too late. Now that I see you mother and daughter safe, I can finally say that my heart has come true."
Shen Zhengwen saluted Sheng Ziyi and said wisely: "You two sisters have not seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to say, so I will go out first."
After saying that, he took the children and walked out.
Sheng Ziyi rolled her eyes at Shen Zhengwen's back, and reached out to touch Li Rulan's pale cheek in distress.
"Look at you, you're so thin. You really don't care about your body at all. You've given birth to five children, and there are still more to come. You don't look at how poor your family is. You're not afraid at all.
Can’t afford it.”
The more Sheng Ziyi talked, the angrier he became, "And that person named Shen abducted you to such a remote place in a poor country, and he didn't know how to feel sorry for you at all, nor did he know how to work hard to let you live a good life."
"Okay Ziyi." Li Rulan smiled helplessly, her eyes full of warmth.
"Although life has been a bit tough, the time I spent with Wenlang was the happiest time in my life. Even if I follow him and eat bran for the rest of my life, I will be happy with it."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Sheng Ziyi shook her body, "I got goosebumps all over the place."
"But what those children said is indeed right. Your daughter is really pretty." She looked at the infant little Niannian with a rare tenderness in her eyes, "You have always wanted to have a daughter, but now you can't.
You’ve been looking forward to it.”
Xiao Niannian didn't buy it and rolled her eyes at her.
This change of attitude is too fast, who said just now that beauty brings disaster?
"Hoho!" Sheng Ziyi exclaimed as if she had discovered a new world, "This girl, at such a young age, can actually roll her eyes!" This chapter has been completed!
