In the cradle bed, little Jinbao had just woken up.
After hearing what her fourth brother said, she clenched her little fists that looked like rice dumplings and waved them.
The fourth brother sold her for a few candies? Ah - this brother is so unreliable!
Regarding Xiaosi's words, Bai Lu only found it funny, "You are such a little glutton."
"Hahaha, if dad hears what you just said, he might kick you out..." Su Nanbing joked to his fourth brother, "You have to be careful if I go to sue you to dad."
Su Xiaosi jumped in panic, "Second brother, don't tell dad, dad will really beat me."
"Who told you to be so greedy that you don't want Sixth Sister and want to marry her off just for a few candies?"
"I don't want my sixth sister to get married. I just think Yao Hua is a very nice person."
When the two brothers were arguing, a voice sounded outside, "Swallow?"
He Xiaoyan was still eating sweets, and the saliva from the corner of her mouth had slipped to her chin.
"Yanzi, your mother is looking for you, answer her quickly," Su Xiaosi pushed He Xiaoyan, "Hey..."
The voice outside the door is getting closer and closer, "Swallow, where have you been hiding and playing again?"
Feeling that her mother was about to walk out the door, He Xiaoyan suddenly spit out the half-dissolved candy into her hand, held it in her hand and hid it behind her back, and said: "Mom, I'm not at Xiaosi's house, and I don't eat candy secretly with anyone."
."
Yao Hua looked at her behavior and frowned in disgust, wondering if she would put the candy back in her mouth later?
"You damn girl, you know how to run into other people's homes all day long. She's as crazy as a wild girl," He Xiaoyan's mother Li Qinghua walked outside the door of Su's house and said angrily to her daughter, "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you come out quickly?"
She is just twenty-five years old this year, very young, and she is wearing a blue floral jacket.
She was sold to the old He family in the countryside as a child bride when she was a child. She came out of the village just five years ago, had a simple wedding with her husband He Dali, and then moved into the employee dormitory assigned by the factory. A year later, she gave birth to He Xiaoyan.
Li Qinghua has lived in the countryside since she was a child. After living the hard life in the village for a long time, Li Qinghua vowed never to return to that poor mountainous place again, and must take root in a big city.
It's a pity that her husband is not a very capable man.
After working in the factory for all these years, he still received the minimum salary of 28 yuan per month, doing the simplest jobs like the apprentices who had just joined the factory. It took him three years to get the junior fitter certificate.
Li Qinghua always scolded her husband for being incompetent. If it hadn't been for good luck and the company responded to the policy by lowering standards and came to the village to recruit workers, someone like him, who only had a primary school diploma, would never have been able to work as an apprentice in the city.
"This is what you will do for the rest of your life. Yanzi and I can't count on you!"
He Dali is honest and optimistic. No matter how much he is ridiculed by his wife, he always smiles. "If you don't count on me, who else can you count on? Otherwise, we will have another boy?"
"What more do you want? With your small salary, you can't even support your wife and daughter. If a boy comes out, do you want us two to drink from the northwest wind?"
"Oh, I'm just stupid... Daughter-in-law, don't be angry," He Dali coaxed, "We Yanzi are lucky at first glance, and we will definitely find a capable man in the future."
Hearing what her husband said, Li Qinghua calmed down a little.
She looked at her daughter and thought that as long as Yanzi could marry a good man in the future, preferably one with a house and a good job in the city, she would be able to move to a better place and no longer have to live in this tube building.
.
"Yanzi likes the fourth child of the Su family very much. I think that kid is pretty good, smart and smart, and he may have a good future..."
Before He Dali finished speaking, Li Qinghua cursed angrily: "What are you talking about? Can our swallow like that Su Xiaosi?"
"Isn't Xiaosi pretty good?" He Dali didn't understand why his wife was angry, "I quite like him."
Li Qinghua said disgustedly: "Then Su Xiaosi is glib and talkative at a young age!"
"It's a gift for a child to be eloquent. Besides, his father is one of the only college students in the factory. He is also a senior fitter. He is currently a workshop engineer and may be promoted to chief engineer in the future."
Li Qinghua sneered, "What about the chief engineer? There are four in his family... No, I remember sending a son back to the countryside, making a total of five sons. Now I have given birth to a daughter, making a total of eight people! No matter how much salary I get,
It’s not enough.”
After saying that, she poked her husband's forehead hard, "Idiot! Who doesn't know that the poorest family in our whole building is his Su Jianmin's home? You don't want the swallows to stay away from his home, and you go up the pole.
Minato."
"Oh, my wife, it hurts... stop poking her," He Dali raised his hand to cover the painful forehead and said hurriedly, "I will just tell Yanzi not to play with Su Xiaosi from now on."
From then on, Li Qinghua tried every means to keep her swallows away from Su Xiaosi.
Unexpectedly, she had just finished cleaning the glass today, and in the blink of an eye, Yanzi was carrying her to Su's house again.
"Mom," He Xiaoyan's little face wrinkled up, "I like to be at Xiaosi's house. Xiaosi's house has candy, woo woo woo..."
"If someone has candy, will they give it to you? They can't even share it themselves, so you should go home quickly!"
After Li Qinghua finished speaking, she saw that her daughter was still standing stupidly crying. She was so angry that she walked in and grabbed her daughter's thin hemp pole wrist and pulled it out hard, "Why are you crying? If you cry again, I will cut off your tongue!"
Bai Lu saw Yan Zi crying very hard and couldn't bear it. She stepped forward and said, "Qing Hua, the children like to play together. Can you let her stay at my house for a while?"
"Sister-in-law Su, no need. You have many children and it is difficult to take care of them. It will be too troublesome for my Yanzi to stay at your house any longer." Li Qinghua forced a smile.
Yao Hua frowned tightly, just hoping that the mother and daughter would leave quickly. What if Jin Bao was woken up by such a noisy scene?
Maybe Jinbao has been awakened...
Thinking of this, Yao Hua hurriedly returned to the room and saw the little guy blinking his big eyes.
"Did you wake up?" The little boy looked distressed. "It's the one named Yanzi. Her crying was so unpleasant, and so was her mother's voice. Wasn't her voice too loud? Like a firecracker soaring into the sky!
"
When Xiao Jinbao heard him describing people like this, he thought it was funny, "Giggle..."
"You understand what I'm saying, right?" Yao Hua's eyes were filled with light, as if reflecting the clearest lake, "Although parents say that babies can't understand what adults are saying, I think you can understand.
Jinbao, you are the most special!"
Being stared straight at him, Jin Bao felt a little embarrassed and turned his head away with a blushing face.
To hide that she understood what he was saying, she pretended to play with her fingers and put them in her mouth to eat.
"Dirty," Yao Hua hurriedly grabbed her little hand, "You can't eat it."
"Aba Aba..."
Little Jinbao looked stupid, shook his hand randomly, and then put his hand into his mouth.
Yao Hua stopped her several times and wondered, "Am I overthinking it? Jin Bao actually can't understand what I'm saying?"
