Chapter 69 Falling in love with An Jing’s cotton-padded clothes
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are back." Li Xiuxiu greeted with a smile.
"Hey, why did you come out? It's cold outside. Come inside quickly." Zhang Xinlan pushed the person back into the house directly, fearing that she would blow some cold wind.
Jing Jing smiled. It seemed that Li Xiuxiu was doing well at home.
Li Daqiang helped his son take several large packages back to his room. Zhang Xinlan saw with sharp eyes: "Why did you bring so many things back?"
"Oh, these are all quiet, just some clothes and food." Li Hongyuan said casually, but Zhang Xinlan took it to heart.
When Li Xiuxiu returned to the room, she was thinking about the light yellow cotton clothes that An Jing was wearing just now. They were nice and warm, but much better than the tattered and patched old clothes she was wearing.
Seeing Zhang Xinlan come in, I felt something in my heart: "Mom, look, this cotton-padded jacket on me isn't even warm anymore. I just went out for a short while and I felt it was leaking a little bit."
"This is already the best cotton-padded jacket in our family. I'm not telling you, try not to leave the room if you have nothing to do in the future. If you need to go to the toilet, just do it in the house. You live alone anyway." Zhang Xinlan said.
Li Xiuxiu's face turned red. It was acceptable to carry a bucket in the house at night, but the smell was very strong during the day, so she was not willing to do so.
"The Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow, there's still no time, I guess it will be spring by the time you get ready." Li Xiuxiu said exaggeratedly.
Zhang Xinlan guessed right, that's what Li Xiuxiu meant.
"Jing Jing, even if mom begs you, I'll just wear it for a few days and return it to you." Zhang Xinlan directly took Jing Jing's hand, knowing that her son's face didn't look good.
It was the first time that Zhang Xinlan had done something like this. She was usually open-minded, but now her hands were already twisted together, which showed how complicated her mood was.
"You girl, that's your sister-in-law, don't call her by her name all day long, or your brother will teach you a lesson if he hears it." Zhang Xinlan felt that her daughter was a bit young.
He deliberately amplified his voice as he spoke, hoping that Li Xiuxiu would hear it.
If he can't make the decision on such a matter, then Li Xiuxiu may make some excessive demands in the future.
Just as Jing Jing was about to speak, the door behind her was opened from the inside.
Now that the words have come to this point, I simply let go of her old face.
Seeing that Zhang Xinlan didn't understand what she meant, she had to make her words clearer: "Mom, the cotton coat I just saw Chen Anjing wearing was quite nice."
Had lunch at noon.
Jing Jing was a little strange. She could feel that her mother-in-law had been looking at or following her intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Xiuxiu risked her life: "I didn't say that, what's wrong?"
Even my own sister has to make irresponsible remarks about the clothes she wears.
She really has no choice but to be entangled by this daughter. Her daughter is really a debt collector!
"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Jing Jing asked with a frown as she walked forward away from the toilet.
Zhang Xinlan was a little embarrassed and smiled: "Well, An Jing, Mom, can I ask you something?"
"Are you still reasonable? Didn't you ask mom to come here to ask for clothes?" Li Hongyuan asked.
"You" Li Hongyuan didn't expect that his biological sister would become like this. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this matter was caused by Li Xiuxiu.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt regretful and followed An Jing.
Jing Jing just looked at her and nodded.
Li Hongyuan was really angry, and what he said was a bit harsh.
Oh, I can't say she met her, her mother-in-law should be waiting for her here.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it." Jing Jing had already arrived at the door of her room. When she noticed that her mother-in-law was still following behind, she couldn't help but ask again.
If my son said this, Xiuxiu would be angry again. It would be bad to be angry during the Chinese New Year. Besides, my daughter is still healthy, so being angry would be even worse for her health.
Li Xiuxiu could no longer sit still in the room. She opened the door and started shouting: "When did I ask you to accommodate me? You convicted me without saying anything. Do you think I'm a brother like you?"
?”
Rural toilets are the kind where you build a small room in the corner, dig a hole, and put some paper. If it's summer, you can basically see the little creatures inside.
"Oh, it's nothing." Zhang Xinlan denied subconsciously. She found it difficult to speak.
"Mom, can you just bear to let me and your grandson endure hunger and cold?" Li Xiuxiu refused to give up, pretending to be pitiful, and stalked us.
"Then what do you think I should do? You can't let me go out of my way to ask your sister-in-law for it. I can't do it."
Li Xiuxiu, who was in the room, naturally heard it. Being spoken so harshly by her brother, her face turned red and she felt a little resentful in her heart.
No, as soon as she came out of the toilet, she ran into her mother-in-law again.
How could his brother, who had always loved him, become like this?
Jing Jing saw that he was a little agitated and grabbed his sleeve to prevent him from moving forward.
The taste is not great.
Zhang Xinlan had no choice but to reluctantly nod and agree: "I can help you ask. If An Jing is willing to give it to you, I can give it to you. If you don't want to, don't say anything. This is my clothes."
"Mom, aren't you trying to make things difficult for others?" Li Hongyuan pulled An Jing behind him and said to her, "Your clothes are yours, and you don't need to give them to anyone."
However, I really disagree with the quietness in the toilet.
"It's like this. Xiuxiu is pregnant and is afraid of the cold. I originally wanted to make her a warm dress, but something delayed it. Can you give her this cotton coat to wear for a few days? In two days
I'll return it to you when it gets colder."
"Hongyuan, don't say that. I came here to ask Anjing because I felt sorry for Xiuxiu because she didn't have any warm clothes to wear." Zhang Xinlan quickly explained.
At first she thought there was something on her face, but after asking Li Hongyuan she found out there was nothing on her face.
"Isn't it just a pregnancy? There's nothing to be pretentious about. Don't think that the whole family should just let you coax you. We don't owe you anything."
Looking at her pitiful look, he changed his mind and said, "How about I go to the town in a few days to get you some cloth and cotton to make a new one?"
Li Hongyuan came out of the room: "Mom, did Xiu Xiu ask you to come here and ask for it? How come you don't have any clothes for such a big person? She is almost a mother of a child and her eyelids are still so shallow. She is thinking about her sister-in-law's things."
She still doesn’t admit it yet!
"Okay, what's the point of arguing over a piece of clothing?" Li Daqiang came out of the room with a cold face.
Seeing her children, she didn't say anything and looked at Zhang Xinlan: "Look at how this daughter has been spoiled by you now. If you don't take good care of her, I will be blamed for my interference. Don't feel bad about it."
Zhang Xinlan knew that she was in the wrong, but she didn't say anything when she was told.
He was familiar with the tempers of his wife and daughter, and looked at Jingjing with a hint of apology: "No matter what requests they make from now on, as long as you don't want to, you don't have to pay attention."
