After hearing what Jinbao's father said, Bai Lu's nose became sore and tears came to her eyes.
Su Nanbing noticed his mother's expression and said anxiously to his father: "Dad, you made my mother cry."
"Ah?" Su Jianmin turned his head and saw his wife covering her face and crying non-stop. He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, "Oh, what's going on? What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"You just said that Xiao Wu should stay in the countryside for the rest of his life, wuwuwuwu..."
Bai Lu couldn't stop swallowing, "Xiao Wu is so pitiful, why? We didn't raise him properly, and he didn't do anything wrong. It's us who are wrong, and we are useless as parents..."
"Those are just the angry words I said. That kid is really too irritating. Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I will never talk like that again." Su Jianmin patted his wife on the back, "Don't cry.
Stop crying."
Li Xiu'e coughed twice, "So what do you two think?"
Bai Lu wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I will go to the countryside to pick up Xiao Wu. I will definitely be able to bring him back."
"Ouch, I know you don't believe what I'm saying," Li Xiu'e said in a helpless tone, "Okay, okay, now that you have decided, go back to the countryside to pick him up alone and see if you can bring the child back."
"Okay, I will go back to the countryside tomorrow..."
Su Jianmin said angrily: "Where are you going back? We have been married for so many years, and you have never been to my hometown. Do you know how remote it is? It takes four or five times to change trains."
"Our mother can carry a bunch of things from the countryside to the city alone. Why can't I go back alone? Tell me the address and I will find a way to go there myself. I must bring Xiao Wu back."
Knowing that my daughter-in-law has made up her mind, no matter how hard I try to persuade her, it is of no use.
Su Jianmin sighed, "Just wait for me for a day. I will ask for leave from the factory tomorrow, and then buy a ticket to go back to my hometown. I will go back to the countryside with you the day after tomorrow, and we will pick up my son together."
"I want to go too!" Su Xiaosi raised his hands in excitement and said excitedly, "Dad, will you take me there too?"
"Don't even think about skipping classes, go to school well, do your homework on time at home, take good care of Jinbao, and you brothers, you have all taken good care of your sister, do you hear me?"
"I heard you." Xiao Si said.
His brothers also nodded.
"Mom and Dad, how many days will you be leaving?" Su Wennian asked, "What should we do if Jinbao has no one to take care of us when we go to school?"
Li Xiu'e smiled and said: "Why is there no one to take care of you? Grandma, am I not here? I will take good care of Jinbao. You can go to school with peace of mind. Grandma will cook delicious meals for you. I have brought a lot of delicious food."
Come."
When Su Xiaosi heard about the food, his eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "What delicious food did grandma bring? Are there any candies and cookies?"
"Oh, there are no candies and biscuits in the countryside. They are all grown in the village..."
Li Xiu'e held little Jinbao in her arms and said to her: "For example, barley, black beans, and red dates are the most suitable to feed Jinbao."
At night, after making the bed for her mother-in-law and making sure she slept, Bai Lu returned to her room and lay on the bed tossing and turning.
"Jianmin, do you think mom can take good care of Jinbao?"
Su Jianmin had already fallen into a drowsy sleep. Now he forced himself to cheer up and touched his wife's head comfortingly with his big hand.
"Of course you can. My mother gave birth to five children in total. I also have two older brothers and two younger brothers. She raised us up and later helped them take care of their children. How could she not be able to take care of Jinbao?"
"I'm not worried. How about we take Jin Bao with us when we return to the countryside in two days?"
"No, no, the conditions in the countryside are too bad, Jinbao can't go..."
Su Jianmin continued: "Besides, there are all kinds of random people on the train, and the smell is terrible. When you get to the county seat, you have to transfer to the township, then to the town, and finally to the village. The journey is so bumpy that we adults are uncomfortable.
, let alone Jinbao."
"Hey, why did we agree to let our mother take Xiao Wu back to the countryside to raise him? I really regret it now." Bai Lu swallowed even more.
Hearing that his wife was about to cry again, Su Jianmin hurriedly hugged her from behind.
"Think about how thin Xiao Wu was at that time. He was skinny and bones. We could chew tree bark in winter. He was only two years old and his teeth hadn't even grown yet. How could he chew it? If Xiao Wu hadn't been sent away at that time, he said
He may have starved to death, do you want him to starve to death?"
"Of course I don't want to, I just...just..."
Su Jianmin comforted him: "Okay, don't think too much. We have to thank my mother for him to live well and be able to be healthy and mischievous in the countryside. Don't you think so?"
Bai Lu turned around and leaned into her husband's arms, "Yeah."
"This time when we go back, I will catch him and teach him a lesson. I will make sure that he corrects all the bad habits he learned in the countryside and comes home with us. Don't worry."
Bai Lu hurriedly said: "You can't hit him!"
"Okay, okay, let me reason with him, okay?"
After hearing Jinbao's father's assurance, Bai Lu finally smiled and said, "That's pretty much it."
Little Jinbao, who was lying in the cradle, looked at the dark ceiling, blinked his big eyes a few times, and thought, is it really so smooth?
From what grandma said, this fifth brother doesn’t seem to have a character that can be easily persuaded.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to do...
Two days later, Jinbao's parents set off confidently.
Yao Hua came to play with Jinbao as usual, and also helped Jinbao's grandma work.
Li Xiu'e liked Yao Hua very much and praised him for being smart, careful and capable.
"Hua Hua," she pulled Yao Hua to her side and asked him, "do you think Jin Bao is pretty?"
Yao Hua replied without thinking: "Of course she is beautiful, Jinbao is the most beautiful!"
"Then Jinbao will be your wife from now on, okay?" Grandma Su joked.
Yao Hua's face turned red.
"good……"
Xiao Jinbao, who was sitting at the table and eating barley porridge with a small spoon, choked.
Li Xiu'e was startled, patted her back quickly, and said nervously: "My dear, are you okay?"
"It's okay," the little baby shook her head, pretending not to understand their conversation just now, "The porridge is sweet and delicious..."
"Is it sweet? There are red dates in it. Of course it's sweet. Your second uncle's wife wants to eat it every day. I won't cook it for her. I'm only willing to give it to Jinbao. Eat more. You're done.
, grandma will fill another bowl for you."
Jinbao said obediently: "Grandma is good, I love grandma..."
"Ouch, my little sweetheart, look at how sweet my little sweetheart's mouth is?"
Li Xiu'e smiled broadly, pinched her granddaughter's cheek, and said fondly: "Grandma also loves Jinbao! If you want to eat Jinbao, grandma will go to the mountains and sea to get it for you."
While she was speaking, a strange noise suddenly came from the room.
"What was the sound just now?" Li Xiu'e turned back in confusion and looked into the room where she slept.
"It doesn't sound like the wind," Yao Hua frowned and hesitantly approached the room, "It seems like something came in."
Li Xiu'e quickly grabbed Hua Hua's arm, shook her head, and told him not to go inside.
Is it possible that a thief climbed into the window in broad daylight?
The Su family's new house is on the second floor, so it's easy for people to climb in.
Li Xiu'e found a rolling pin.
She held the stick in one hand and slowly opened the door to the room with the other.
"What is this?" She walked into the room and put down the rolling pin in her hand.
There was no one in the room, but there were two animals that she had never seen before, like chickens and birds. One of them was flying on the wardrobe, and the other was squatting under the bed.
