On the other side, men from each family also led their children back to the yard.
When Mrs. Yao Er heard that her son and daughter had made such great contributions, she immediately laughed: "So awesome?! Brother Hong, Sister Ling, you are so proud of me."
As he spoke, he hugged his son and daughter.
Yao Anhong was old enough to know the difference between men and women, so he was embarrassed to be hugged by Mrs. Yao, so he blushed and avoided it.
Yao Anling was a girl, and she was afraid that her mother would hold her for a little longer. She snuggled into Mrs. Yao's arms and smiled happily: "Mom, this is all my credit. If I hadn't been responsible for doing the old lady's questionnaire, we wouldn't have been able to do it."
The homework was done so well. None of the adults like my father and uncle could compare to me and my brother..."
"Oh, my good daughter, you are really awesome! Even your father has been surpassed by you. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"I..." Yao Anling said with a smile, "I want my mother to reward me with money."
"What do you want money for? Usually I don't wear it for you to eat, or wear it for you. What, what do you want to buy? If you want to buy something, just tell me directly, and my mother will buy it for you.
"When Mrs. Yao Er is happy, she is extremely generous.
"I do want to buy something, but I don't want my mother to buy it for me. I want to buy it myself." Compared with what she wants, Yao Anling thinks money is more reliable.
The thing you want to buy may be this thing now and that thing then, but the money is different. Once you have the appearance, what can't you buy?
"Okay, okay, how about I give you ten taels of silver?"
"Mom, are you too stingy? The old lady rewarded us with more than ten taels..." Yao Anling calculated for Mrs. Yao Er how much money the old lady set for the first place, and the four of them divided it, one
How much can a person get?
Anyway, no matter how she divided it, she got more than what her mother gave her.
Mrs. Yao Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She kept increasing the amount to fifty taels, and then Yao Anling relaxed.
She smiled and nodded her daughter's nose: "You little money addict!"
Of course, not only Yao Anling was rewarded, but Mrs. Yao also rewarded Yao Anhong, but compared to the money Yao Anling asked for, what Yao Anhong got was a square inkstone.
"Thank you, mother!"
Yao Anhong stood up and thanked him respectfully.
Knowing that the things her mother gave to her brother were not as valuable as her own money, Yao Anling proudly raised her chin at her brother.
--hey-hey!
——Now you know who is the most favored in our family, right?
Even though Yao Anling is very protective of her brother when she is outside, at home, Yao Anling still prefers to compete for favor.
She has always regarded herself as Mrs. Yao Er's favorite daughter, and she wants to outdo her brother as long as it has anything to do with "competing for favor".
In this regard, Yao Anhong was a little helpless. He was almost five years older than his sister. He couldn't be angry with his sister because of such things, right?
Besides, no matter how much his mother dotes on his sister, his sister will only stay in this family until she is a teenager. Once she reaches that age, she will become someone else's. Yao Anhong hopes that Yao Anling will be more favored at home, otherwise she will wait for her
Once you get married, you won't be able to enjoy it anymore.
Next door, Mrs. Yao’s yard.
The big house only had one daughter, Yao Anxin, so there was no question of competing for favor. Mrs. Yao asked the people below to cook a table of Yao Anxin's favorite dishes.
Knowing that she was praised by the old lady and that she defeated her father and won first place in this "homework", Mrs. Yao also praised her daughter very much.
Yao Anxin is already twelve years old. Although she is proud of her heart, her face is also a little embarrassed by the praise. She knows that this is everyone's credit, not her alone.
"It's everyone's food, don't you have a share of the credit? Come on, this is your favorite food..." Mrs. Yao gave her a chopstick dish, "Eat more, you and your father will eat more these days."
Thanks for your hard work."
"Thank you, mother!" Yao Anxin said her thanks obediently.
After dinner, Yao Anxin went back to the room to do the homework assigned by her husband, and then Mrs. Yao asked Uncle Yao about the details of today.
Uncle Yao didn't hide anything, he came one by one.
"It sounds like what the old lady said does make sense," Mrs. Yao, who came from a scholarly family, thought more thoughtfully and said thoughtfully, "When a child is just born, he doesn't understand anything.
Do we have to teach everything slowly? For example, when we choose a nanny or a maid for Sister Xin, we are very particular. We just hope to choose a good one so that she will not learn bad things... If you put it this way, in fact, life is
Every aspect is a kind of learning, but we didn’t have such a clear awareness before. We only knew that it was the right thing to do, but we didn’t know why.”
"Yeah, I didn't expect that there is such a great knowledge in raising children." Uncle Yao sighed, "It can be regarded as learning a trick. When we have a little one in the future, we can just use it."
Mrs. Yao paused.
Uncle Yao noticed something strange and sighed in his heart. He stepped forward and took Mrs. Yao's hand and said: "I don't have any other meaning. I just want to say that if you have a chance, it would be good to try the method Mom said."
of."
Mrs. Yao shook her head gently at him: "I know, I'm just a little worried... I had a hard time getting pregnant, and I'm afraid if something like this happens to you again..."
"There's nothing to worry about. Mom has already asked for the miracle medicine for us, hasn't she? If God has destined us to have only one child, Sister Xin, then we should treat Sister Xin well. In fact, it doesn't matter. Even if I don't have a child, my second brother,
The third brother also has one, and the incense of the Yao family will never end with me."
"Sir, I have thought about it, if... I mean if," Mrs. Yao said in a complicated manner, "if after the New Year, there is no good news from my side, I will arrange for you to get pregnant more easily.
As long as there is good news, even if she is a concubine, I will admit it."
If she could get pregnant herself, Mrs. Yao would naturally not want other women to give birth to Uncle Yao's child, but now that she could not give birth, they only had Yao Anxin in the room.
Mrs. Yao was worried. She didn't have any brothers to support her. What if Yao Anxin got married and was bullied by her husband's family?
But it would be different if she had a brother born from a common concubine. Even if the two are no longer close, as long as their surname is "Yao", when Yao Anxin encounters difficulties, the brother born from a common concubine will more or less remember the old "kindness" and help her.
Last one.
What's more, she won't play the role of a vicious aunt, she will train him well, be kind to him, and try to make him remember as much "kindness" as possible.
"Yu Niang..." Uncle Yao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard what she said. He said, "I know what you mean, but don't be anxious. We have only taken the medicine for a short time. Even if it is effective, it cannot be like this."
Quick. The doctor checked our pulses. Both of our bodies are a little weak and we need to take good care of ourselves. It is normal to have a slower pregnancy... As long as you relax, I believe we will have good news."
But Uncle Yao did not say no to his maid.
After all, he didn't know if Mrs. Yao could still get pregnant. She was almost thirty years old, and her physique made it difficult for her to get pregnant. The older she got, the harder it would be.
If she really couldn't get pregnant, he couldn't keep waiting for her.
There is no male heir in the eldest family, which is not only her pressure, but also his.
