In the room where the mother and daughter lived in the main house, the little thing was pulling up a stool, standing on it and tiptoing to reach the quilt in the cage.
If he couldn't move it anymore, he would pull it out bit by bit.
The cage is a large cabinet. It is not a traditional clamshell cage. Instead, Father He and others made a double-door cage.
After Yunjin's family and Mingqi left, Qiao Mingjin dried the extra quilts in the room and stored them in the cabinets of each wing.
The boxes in her room were all brand new quilts. The extra ones were stored there.
Seeing that the little thing was dragging out the quilt and the quilt underneath it and falling to the ground. The little thing suddenly stopped, put his finger into his mouth and bit it, and then stood on tiptoe to pull out the quilts underneath.
I pushed it in, but my strength was weak and it couldn't move, so I pulled the top quilt again.
Might as well fall off the top quilt and cover her up.
Qiao Mingjin was following the little thing secretly, but she saw her moving a stool and putting green bricks under the stool. She was obviously a small person, but she had to hug the thick quilt.
Qiao Mingjin burst out laughing.
Then he stepped forward to rescue his struggling daughter.
"Mom." The little thing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light of day again, then timidly raised his head to look at Qiao Mingjin.
"Why don't you ask mother to get it? Huh?" Qiao Mingjin held the quilt in her arms and watched her daughter standing on the stool twisting her fingers.
"I'm afraid my mother won't agree." The little thing pursed his lips tightly and looked at his mother with blinking eyes.
Qiao Mingjin glared at her: "Mom said she would let your father live here, so of course she means what she says. Can you still not cover him with a quilt?"
"Wow. Mom, you're so kind! Then get another bed. Just one quilt is too cold. Daddy will catch a cold." The little thing turned around and tried to pull up the quilt again.
Qiao Mingjin was holding the quilt with both hands, and was about to free up her hands to move another bed, when a pair of big hands stretched out from beside her and grabbed it.
"Jin Niang, I'll get it."
As he spoke, he quickly moved down another quilt. Qiao Mingjin turned to look at him.
"Dad!" Wan'er excitedly rushed over and hugged Yue Zhongyao's waist.
"Be good. Come down slowly and don't fall."
After saying that, he freed up one hand to hug the quilt in Qiao Mingjin's arms...
After the quilt was laid out, Qiao Mingjin prepared two charcoal basins for him.
The little thing An was rolling happily on the bed at this time. He looked at Qiao Mingjin with excitement: "Mom, can Wan'er sleep with daddy today?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her hatefully, and the little thing hurriedly changed his words: "Wan'er should sleep with mother. Mother sleeps with Wan'er in her arms. But, is it okay to let father sleep with us?"
Qiao Mingjin almost choked on her saliva and stared at her daughter with round eyes.
Yue Zhongyao looked at Qiao Mingjin expectantly, with deep longing in his eyes.
"Mom, can't you?" The little thing knelt and crawled to the bed and shook her dress.
After saying that, he whispered softly: "Yang Liu always sleeps with her father and mother."
Yang Liu is Su's youngest daughter, one year younger than Wan'er. Su often brings Yang Liu over to play with Wan'er.
Seeing his daughter like this, Yue Zhongyao felt deep sadness in his heart.
He was not with the child as soon as he was born, missing four years of his daughter's growth. After he came back, his daughter was not close to him at first, and then moved out with her mother. This child really did not enjoy what other children deserved
Fatherly love.
Yue Zhongyao's throat twitched twice, and he watched Qiao Mingjin muster up the courage to speak: "Jin Niang..."
"It's late. It's cold at night. Go to bed early. Wan'er, you want to sleep with your father, but you have to sleep well. Don't pester your father. Go to bed early. Mom is going to bed too."
Qiao Mingjin interrupted Yue Zhongyao's words, said a few words hastily, turned around and left the wing.
"mother!"
"Don't get out of bed. Get under the quilt quickly. Daddy is going to see your mother. You stay in the room obediently. Daddy will be back soon." He saw his daughter nodding towards him and then chased Qiao Mingjin.
Qiao Mingjin was about to close the door when Yue Zhongyao pressed the door frame with one hand.
"Jin Niang, can I talk to you? We haven't had a good talk for a long time."
Qiao Mingjin looked at him and said, "It's late. I'm going to bed. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."
He was about to close the door again. Yue Zhongyao still held on and refused to close the door.
"Jin Niang, I just want to say a few words to you. Just a few words..."
"What I have always wanted to tell you is that you have never given me a chance. Jin Niang, after the New Year, it has been almost a year since you moved out...I, I never thought about getting along with you, I never thought about it.
Yes. I only recognize you as my wife. I also just want to live a good life with you. We will have a few more children, and we will stay together until we grow old and live an ordinary life. I will solve the Mei Niang matter.
I never thought about marrying her."
Seeing that Qiao Mingjin still had no reaction, she just looked at him and said hurriedly: "Really, Jin Niang, I never thought about marrying her. It's just that when her mother proposed, I couldn't refuse. Jin Niang
,I……"
Just as Yue Zhongyao was about to continue speaking, Qiao Mingjin interrupted: "How do you want to solve it?"
Yue Zhongyao didn't expect Qiao Mingjin to speak, but he was stunned.
When Qiao Mingjin was impatient and wanted to close the door again, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Jin Niang. I have thought about it. I can recognize her as my sister and help her father take care of her family for the rest of her life. Then, I will be in Qingchuan City."
Help her find the right person to marry, and that will be fine."
Qiao Mingjin might as well think about it. After hearing what he said, she asked, "What if they just identify you?"
"What?"
After reacting, Fang smiled and said: "Haha, haha, how could you identify me? I am just a young policeman, I have been married, I have a wife and a daughter, why do people identify me?"
Qiao Mingjin saw the confused look on his face and didn't want to say more.
"Let's talk about it when you have settled the matter. You must know that I will never work with anyone else. After one year, I will take Wan'er and leave."
After saying that, regardless of Yue Zhongyao's expression, he closed the door tightly.
Yue Zhongyao watched the door close, opened his mouth, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Suddenly he let it go.
Standing at the door of the room, I heard the sound of Qiao Mingjin taking off her clothes, lifting the quilt and getting into bed...
After a while, when there was no sound anymore, he said to the room: "Mother Jin, I will not divorce. Mother Jin, I just want to live with you."
The lights in the room were turned off and it was pitch dark.
Yue Zhongyao stood in the dark for a long time, muttering in a low voice: "I will not reconcile..." He kept muttering in a low voice several times before turning around and walking away.
Qiao Mingjin opened her eyes when she heard Yue Zhongyao's footsteps leaving.
The winter night is so dark that you can't see anything.
Qiao Mingjin tossed and turned. For some reason, she felt that the bed was unusually cold today. Is it because the little thing wasn't around to warm the bed?
I tossed and turned until dawn before falling asleep in a daze.
The next day is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Qiao Mingjin got up early in the morning and glanced at the wing room. The door was closed, so the father and daughter must not have woken up yet.
Then he walked towards the kitchen.
Before I even got close, I heard the sound of pots and spoons coming from the kitchen.
Qiao Mingjin's face showed surprise. Did you wake up so early?
In the kitchen, Yue Zhongyao was cooking porridge in front of the small stove. In order to prevent the rice soup from overflowing, he stood up from time to time to stir it up.
"Oh, Jin Niang, why are you up so early? I have prepared breakfast. You can go and sleep with Wan'er for a while." Yue Zhongyao turned around, spotted her, and said to her.
Qiao Mingjin didn't want to stay in the kitchen with him, so she turned around and went to the wing.
In the side room, the little thing was sleeping soundly with a smile on his face.
Qiao Mingjin poked her pink face angrily and said bitterly: "Little one, you slept soundly. You're just a white-eyed wolf."
After looking at the bed for a while, sleepiness came over me, and I got into the quilt and fell asleep...
Yue Zhongyao made breakfast and walked into the wing. He saw the mother and daughter lying head-to-head sleeping soundly. The corners of his mouth raised. He quietly sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his wife's face.
The long hair covering my wife's face was shaved and she couldn't put it down.
When Qiao Mingjin woke up again, Yue Zhongyao was no longer there.
When the mother and daughter walked out of the room, they found that every door had been pasted with red couplets, including the entrance to the main house, the courtyard door, the kitchen, and even the stables. It suddenly added a bit of a New Year atmosphere.
.
"Wow, mom, dad must have posted it! Wow, it's red, it's posted in every room. Dad, dad, where are you?"
The little thing turned around and didn't see his father. His face showed grievance: "Mom, where is daddy?"
Qiao Mingjin touched her daughter's head: "Your father should have gone to your grandma's house. He will be back in the evening. Come on, mother will take you to have breakfast."
After saying that, he led his daughter into the kitchen...
Yue Zhongyao didn't come for lunch.
With his hands in his sleeves, the little thing stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked frequently towards the village path. He walked around in front of his house countless times. He wanted to walk towards the village several times, but then he went back.
Qiao Mingjin didn't pay attention to her. She only looked at the travel notes that Mingjue had collected for her in the room.
Until the mother and daughter made dinner, Yue Zhongyao did not show up.
The little thing had to wait for his father to eat with him. After being scolded by Qiao Mingjin for a few times, he finally calmed down and picked up his rice bowl to eat in anger, the speed of which was not much different from that of a hot pot cow.
Just when Qiao Mingjin thought that Yue Zhongyao would not come to the door tonight, and was about to bolt the courtyard door, the courtyard door squeaked.
"Jin Niang?"
"I thought you wouldn't come today."
"There are a lot of things going on at home today. My second brother and my fourth brother and I went to the market to buy new year's goods. My mother insisted that I eat dinner at home. Have you eaten?"
Qiao Mingjin didn't answer him. She saw him turn around and lock the courtyard door before turning around.
"Daddy!" The little thing ran out of the room and threw himself into Yue Zhongyao's arms.
"Your father hasn't washed himself yet. You sleep with your mother tonight."
"mother?"
The little thing hugged her father's neck and refused to come down.
Qiao Mingjin glared at her: "Why don't you let your father carry you back to your grandma's house to sleep."
As soon as the little thing heard this, she immediately struggled to the ground and ran over to hold her mother's hand: "Mom, Wan'er, would you like to sleep with you today?"
As he spoke, he turned back three times and followed Qiao Mingjin.
Yue Zhongyao took two steps forward and stared blankly at the mother and daughter walking away. After a while, he heard the door creaking shut. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come
