Yue Zhongyao stretched out his hands toward his daughter.
Then I heard the mother's voice coming in from outside: "Yue Laosan! Don't you want to go to the county government office? Are you not ready to take the job that you finally got? Do you want me to help you quit?"
So that you can go home and take care of your mother-in-law and children!"
Yue Zhongyao looked at the mother and daughter sarcastically, and found that Qiao Mingjin was not looking at him at all, her eyes were still closed and she was lying inward with her head tilted.
But Wan'er snuck into her mother's arms early in the morning and nestled in her mother's arms with her eyes closed tightly, looking frightened.
Yue Zhongyao felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw Qiao Mingjin protecting his daughter tightly under the quilt.
Yue Zhongyao gave mother and daughter a steady look and then said: "Wan'er, be good, let me sleep well for a while, but don't disturb mother. Dad is going out first." He got up and helped mother and daughter tuck in the quilt.
, and then walked out quietly.
After leaving the door, she frowned at Mrs. Wu who was waiting at the door and said, "Mother, what are you doing? I asked for leave, and I didn't sneak back. Isn't it human nature for a husband to serve his mother-in-law and children? Mother
What are you making a fuss about?"
Mrs. Wu glared and said, "It's human nature! Where did she think she was marrying? A wealthy family, with clothes to wear, food to eat, and mouth to eat? It's not easy for you to get an errand and ask for leave. Don't you know how many people are waiting outside?
I'm trying to steal your job! I'll deduct one day's wages for each day's payment, and that day's wages can feed our family for more than half a month."
Yue Zhongyao frowned and was about to say something, when his father Yue Guisheng came out of the room smoking a hookah.
As he walked, he said: "Your mother is right. How many people in the village now envy you for getting this good job? When your mother, your brother, and I were walking in the village, our backs were straightened up a lot. If you were delayed because of small things at home,
, you shouldn’t be laughed at to death?”
Yue Zhongyao glanced at his father and said: "Dad, Jin Niang still can't get out of bed. I saw that she fell so hard that she was dizzy when she fell to the ground. If there was no one to support her, she would fall to the ground.
I'm worried."
The old man glanced at his son. He was always very stubborn and would definitely do what he was determined to do.
He had a lot of strength since he was a child, and he often followed the hunters in the village to hunt in the mountains. Later, he was able to go alone, and the family would have some meat to eat from time to time. When recruiting soldiers, he actually didn't really want his son to go there. This son was willing to endure hardships.
, he was willing to work hard in the fields, but he had to take care of everything at home. He didn’t know if he would be able to come back.
But if he was not allowed to go, there would be no hope of his other two sons coming back. So he was silent at that time and watched his two sons and four sons making trouble.
Unexpectedly, this son was lucky and came back alive. He was recommended by others and became a policeman in the county government. Although he was only a handyman, it was enough for him to be proud of in the village. Who in the village now sees him as unflattering
Two sentences?
This job must not be lost.
After listening to his son's words, the old man in law said: "Don't worry, with so many people in the family, how can we see anything happen to Jin Niang? Your second sister-in-law and four younger siblings will help you take care of her. This job was kindly recommended by others.
Yes, you’ve only been working as a jobber for more than a month, so it’s not good for people to take so many days off.”
Yue Zhongyao was speechless after listening. He remembered that when he asked his daughter if the meat porridge was delicious, her daughter nodded to him happily. He had to keep this job so that his wife and daughter could have meat porridge to eat.
After thinking about it, he said to his father Yuetou: "Dad, I'm going to the county right now."
Then he said to his mother and two brothers and wives: "Mom, second sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister-in-law, Jin Niang is leaving it to you. She is still a little dizzy when she gets up now, and sometimes she needs someone to help her. If she still can't do anything, please ask the second sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law, please be more considerate. Jinniang and I will remember your good deeds. Mom, you have to cut some meat for her every day. I bought more in the morning and it will be enough for several days. I will try again next time when I come back.
Buy. She needs to eat something good these days."
Mrs. Wu looked around, pretending not to hear. She couldn't bear to eat it herself. If she had any spare money, could it be given to her?
Mrs. Sun, the mother-in-law of Yue Laoer, curled her lips after hearing this: She is the most precious one! She never goes to the fields on weekdays. When the farm is busy, she just stays at home and cooks. How delicious is the food? Everyone praises it? Who wouldn't?
She knows how to cook? She's not really a young lady from a big house. She's raised like that, so why don't she marry and become a young mistress to enjoy the blessings? She married into this poor family. Her natal family is even worse than hers.
Yue Laosi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu, nodded in agreement.
However, he quickly glanced at Yue Laosan and secretly thought that this third brother really loves his wife. He used to be very protective of his wife when he was at home, and he didn't want her to do any extra work. Now he has taken a special leave.
I came back to take care of it, and I went to the butcher stall early in the morning to buy meat, and then I went to the kitchen to cook it myself.
It’s really enviable. Which woman is as lucky as Qiao Mingjin?
Although Yue Laosi was kind to her, he was careless and never knew what she wanted.
But then I thought about it, Yue Laosan will soon marry a new person, and she will be an equal wife. Now that the new person comes in, who will he love?
With this thought in mind, she regained her balance. It was better for Yue Laosi, but she didn't dare to recruit these messy people for her. She glanced at Qiao Mingjin's house, feeling slightly sympathetic.
Yue Laosan got the guarantee from his family and headed back to the county government office.
That night, it was not until after the usual dinner time that Qiao Mingjin saw Yue Laosi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Yu, come in carrying a large porcelain bowl.
"Sister-in-law, are you hungry? This porridge has taken a long time to cook. Get up and eat it quickly."
As she spoke, she put the large porcelain bowl on the bedside table and prepared to help Qiao Mingjin. Before she reached out, Qiao Mingjin had already stood up and moved to the bed.
Qiao Mingjin thanked her and took a look into the bowl. Not to mention the minced meat, he didn't even see the vegetable leaves. They were so sparse that you could even see the shadow of a human being.
Qiao Mingjin didn't care and called her daughter who was playing alone on the bed: "Wan'er, come here, it's time for dinner."
At dinner, Mrs. Yu came and asked Wan'er to go to dinner, but she refused to let Qiao Mingjin go, so Mrs. Yu didn't take her out again.
Mrs. Yu watched mother and daughter getting up to have dinner. Perhaps she felt a little embarrassed to bring such a meal, so she prepared to go out.
At dinner just now, no one mentioned leaving some for mother and daughter.
After the meal, Yue Laoer picked up the soup on the plate and poured it into a bowl to mix with rice and eat it. My mother-in-law only let her carry a bowl of clear porridge, and she was not allowed to scoop out the pickles in the jar.
.The pickle jar is in my mother-in-law's room. Without her speaking, she would not dare to make any decisions.
Mrs. Yu looked at the faint expression on Qiao Mingjin's face and didn't say anything. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister-in-law, please eat first. I'll collect the bowl later."
Qiao Mingjin nodded to her, and Yu went out.
Qiao Mingjin picked up the bowl on the counter. She couldn't even eat the gruel, let alone the mother and daughter.
I glanced towards my daughter and found that Wan'er was also staring at the bowl.
Qiao Mingjin originally wanted to say something, saying that she would cook meat porridge for you when mother is well. Unexpectedly, Wan'er only glanced at her, turned her head and said, "Mom, eat."
Qiao Mingjin felt sour in her heart. She smiled and said to her daughter, "Okay, mother and Wan'er will eat together."
Seeing her daughter nodding happily towards her, she held back her tears and scooped out a spoonful. Then she leaned the spoon against the edge of the bowl and tilted it, letting the rice soup in the spoon flow into the bowl so that her daughter could eat some dry rice.
I scooped out a mouthful and put it into my daughter's mouth. Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, she just leaned over and opened her mouth to swallow it, while puffing out her cheeks and smiling cheerfully at her.
Qiao Mingjin endured the sourness and took a bite of it herself.
There are no side dishes, so you may find it hard to swallow just the plain porridge, so some salt is added to the porridge, but it is still palatable.
After the mother and daughter took a few bites, the rice grains in the bowl were almost all gone.
Every time Qiao Mingjin scooped out the rice soup for her daughter, she would tilt it towards the edge of the bowl and force the rice soup out of the spoon. When she ate it, she would only have rice soup.
Wan'er learned it after watching it several times. When she saw Qiao Mingjin scooping up a full spoonful of rice soup mixed with a few grains of rice and putting it into her mouth, she grabbed Qiao Mingjin's wrist with her little hand.
Qiao Mingjin was afraid of spilling it on the bed, so she had no choice but to stay still and let her take Qiao Mingjin's hand and pour the rice soup into the bowl. Only when there were only rice grains left in the spoon did she happily let Qiao Mingjin eat it.
Qiao Mingjin's tears rolled down her face...
When she found out that Gong Ye had cheated on her, she went to get rid of the child alone. It was too difficult to raise a child alone.
Because Gong Ye has always said that living in a big city is not easy, and the two of them have no foundation, they have never had children. After a few years of marriage, they accidentally got pregnant twice, and finally had no choice but to abort...
Now seeing such a sensible and well-behaved daughter in front of him, Qiao Mingjin's heart immediately melted...
No matter how difficult it is, she must raise this child well.
Xiao Wan'er looked at Qiao Mingjin's face with tears streaming down her face and she was stunned on the bed, frightened and scared. Soon, tears were also streaming down her face. She didn't cry out, she just pursed her lips tightly and looked at Qiao Mingjin.
Qiao Mingjin wiped her tears and then wiped her daughter's tears. She felt sorry for the child who didn't dare to make a sound when she cried. So she said softly: "Wan'er won't cry, and mother won't cry either. Let's eat this bowl of porridge."
Are you okay? After you finish eating, Mom will wash your face, play with you, and tell us Wan'er stories, okay?"
Xiao Wan'er's tears turned into laughter, and she nodded her head and became happy again.
