The Age of Rebirth: The Stepmother of the Sick Beauty Just Wants to Salt Fish

After receiving Jiang Li's reply, the cute boy Mingxiu gave his mother a kiss again.

Jiang Li felt so happy that he immediately made another noise to the little guy in his arms, and moved his head several times.

"Mom, if you keep going, Xiaodoubao's face will turn into a monkey's butt!"

Minghan laughed and teased Little Douding.

Hearing that this was teasing him, the cute boy Mingxiu looked at Minghan calmly: "Second brother, if you are envious, just say so. I believe that mother will satisfy you and give you a loving kiss."

Hearing this, Minghan clicked his tongue and said to Jiang Li: "Mom, I found that Xiaodou Bao is not so sharp-tongued. When the three of Tuanzi and the others were so big, they couldn't compete with Xiaodou Bao!"

Jiang Li picked up his youngest son and met Minghan's eyes. He smiled and said, "When you were so old, you were as talkative as a bean bag."

"Mom, can you stop calling me Beanbao?"

The cute baby Mingxiu really doesn't want the childish nickname "Doubao".

"that's not allowed!"

Jiang Li shook his head: "Bean buns are my mother's favorite!"

"Mom! Do you not love your little Hanhan? I am your second largest leather jacket. Are you willing to leave me and only like your little leather jacket? Besides, your little leather jacket Not cute at all, just like an old scholar, Mom... please love me again!"

Minghan opened his mouth and started acting. Not to mention, he seemed to have some acting talent.

The cute baby Mingxiu hugged Jiang Li's neck. He stared straight at Minghan, the second brother, with cold and indifferent eyes and dark pupils, like two curved pools with no bottom.

"Ouch! Mom, Xiaodou Bao's eyes are so similar to my dad's. I feel so panicked when he looks at me so well!"

Minghan acted like he was scared. He walked up and said, "Mom, please give me a loving hug and soothe my wounded heart, okay?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help laughing and put his youngest son into the arms of his second son who was playing tricks: "Dinner isn't ready yet. I have to go on. Let the little bean bag soothe your injured heart!"

As the sound fell, Jiang Li's figure had walked several steps away.

"Xiaodou Bao, can we discuss this?"

After standing alone and helpless for a moment, Minghan carried Xiaodoubao into the living room. As soon as he sat on the sofa, he said, "Can you please stop looking at people like our dad? Xiaodoubao, my second brother can't afford to hurt him!"

"I'll tell dad."

The cute baby Mingxiu gave a sentence with an expressionless face.

"tell me what?"

A familiar male voice came from outside the living room door.

"father!"

The cute baby Mingxiu looked over and called out immediately.

That's right, the person who appeared outside the living room door and walked into the living room at this moment was none other than Mr. Luo, the man of the house.

Minghan froze, then quickly blinked at Xiaodou Bao.

"Second brother, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

The cute boy Mingxiu pretended not to understand and put a stern face on his brother.

Minghan immediately shook his head: "No, there's nothing wrong with my second brother's eyes." Little brat, you're so cruel!

How dare you pretend to be confused and come back to settle the score with you!

Putting the little dumpling in her arms on the sofa and letting him sit down, Minghan stood up and said, "Dad, sit down and rest. I'll go to the kitchen to help my mother cook."

He needs to leave immediately to avoid being educated by Mr. Jun.

Because he couldn't guarantee whether the little boy would sue his old father.

In the kitchen, Axiang and the chef whom Jiang Boya gave him a few years ago were busy, so Jiang Li basically didn't need to do anything. However, Jiang Li said that she would cook several dishes for tonight's dinner, so naturally she couldn't let Minghan go. pigeon.

Of course, with the current manpower in the kitchen, there is no need for Minghan to help.

It can be seen that he wants to avoid his old father.

As an old man, how could Luo Yanqing not guess what he was doing?
However, he did not stop it.

"Why don't you speak?"

Putting down the travel bag in his hand, Luo Yan washed his hands and returned to the living room. He looked at his youngest son indifferently.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad!"

The cute baby Mingxiu and his old father met each other's eyes, and their expressions were the same.

After looking at his youngest son quietly for a moment, Luo Yanqing asked: "Second brother, did you bully you?"

"No."

The cute baby Mingxiu shook his head decisively.

There is an internal conflict between the brothers. He cannot tell his father and betray his second brother!
"Did your second brother say bad things about me?"

Luo Yanqing asked again.

The cute baby Mingxiu shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not!"

The second brother was just playing with him!
Saying that he and his father look alike when they look at people doesn't mean anything else.

Luo Yanqing stared at his youngest son for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions.

The living room was so quiet for a while that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, Luo Yanqing asked: "Is everything okay, mom?"

The cute baby Mingxiu nodded his little head.

"Brothers and sisters are busy working and studying outside. I am also very busy at work and do not have much time to spend with my mother at home. And your grandma and grandpa are getting older and need your mother to take care of you. You must be sensible at home and considerate of your mother. When your mother is in need, When you are here, you not only have to help, but you also have to take care of your mother’s mood and make her happy.”

"it is good."

"It's better for children to be a little more lively, instead of acting like little adults all day long."

"……understood."

It's because of his personality, he's not pretending to be serious like an adult!

The cute baby Mingxiu felt a little unfair.

"Everything is fine with your great-grandfather and grandpa, too?"

"Ah."

"...It's good that you like reading and studying, but you are still young after all, so you don't have to focus all your attention on studying."

This child talked less than him. Luo Yanqing was thinking about topics while chatting.

"I listen to dad."

Mengwa Mingxiu responded.

"go to play."

Luo Yanqing waved his hand.

The cute baby Mingxiu slipped off the sofa and walked out of the living room on her short legs.

……

after dinner.

The whole family took a walk in the back garden to eat, then went to wash up and go back to the room to rest.

After Jiang Li finished telling her son a story and watched the little boy close his eyes and fall asleep, Fang gently closed the door and returned to her and Luo Yanqing's room.

Seeing that the man was still awake, he couldn't help but give him an angry look, and said with a heartache: "The dark circles under your eyes are so serious, it shows that you stayed up late at work. Now you don't want to go to bed early when you get home. Take a good rest to restore your energy. That's right." Do you want me to worry?"

Before Luo Yanqing could speak, Jiang Li said again: "Do you need me to stay with you to fall asleep?"

"I am not sleepy."

Duplicity, Mr. Luo is actually waiting for his wife to rest together.

"Sure?"

Jiang Li went to bed, and she slowly approached the man: "Look into my eyes and say."

"I……"

Luo Yanqing's eyes dodge.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li said at this time: "Since you are not sleepy, just stand on the ground."

After saying that, she lay down directly in her position.

Luo Yanqing was sitting on the bedside. At this time, he sat upright and looked at his wife who was lying with her back to him. He didn't know what suddenly occurred to him, but he raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Jiang Li closed his eyes and soon made a steady sleep sound. In fact, he raised his ears and listened carefully to the movement behind him.

Slowly, she noticed the mattress behind her sagging, and then she smelled the fragrance of the man's body after taking a shower.

At the same time, she inexplicably felt that the fragrance was particularly captivating, making her heart rate accelerate and giving rise to a sense of impulse.

calm down!

keep cool!

Gradually relaxing, Jiang Li also became tired unconsciously.

Turning over, she lay on her back, now asleep.

Luo Yanqing turned his head slightly and looked at the profile of his face. His eyes were soft and doting. He looked at her for an unknown amount of time. He gently stretched out his arms to take the person next to him into his arms. He smelled the familiar and elegant fragrance in the air and closed his eyes with satisfaction. .

Drowsiness swept over him like a tide. At this moment, Luo Yanqing's mind was completely empty, and he fell into a deep sleep in just a moment.

Xu Shi was really tired, Luo Yanqing slept very deeply, and Jiang Li was awakened by the biological clock as usual.

But when she opened her eyes, she found the man lying next to her frowning, as if he was having a nightmare.

After a while, he was breathing rapidly again and looked very angry.

Jiang Li stared at the handsome face in front of him, unconsciously stretched out his index finger and lightly poked the man's handsome face.

Unexpectedly, she heard the man suddenly say: "Go away! I don't have a mother from now on! I don't have a mother!"

Clenching his teeth, these words were almost squeezed out from Luo Yanqing's teeth.

Jiang Li was startled for a moment, and then felt heartbroken. She knew, she knew what the man was dreaming about.

Abandoned by his own mother when he was young, he ran several streets to chase her, but was unable to get his mother to stay. He could only watch her sitting on a bicycle, getting further and further away from him.

At that moment, he should be very sad, desperate, and helpless!

But after many years, the relationship between mother and son has also eased. Did he really suddenly dream about something so far away?

Did something happen to her cheap mother-in-law?

Jiang Li thought to himself and couldn't help but call softly: "Luo Yanqing! Luo Yanqing..."

She called her several times, but the man didn't open his eyes. Instead, he snorted and turned his back to her like a petulant child.

Hey!
OK?
Okay, Jiang Li has to admit that she is so cute when she is exposed to the man’s little picture!
She couldn't help but poke the man's handsome face again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to be so cute, I'm so jealous!"

At this moment, the man, whose eyes were still closed, turned over to face her again, and casually pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Li was stunned.

The man's move was so unexpected that Jiang Li didn't have a chance to react.

"Hey, you're awake, right?"

After coming back to his senses, Jiang Li said angrily: "Open your eyes when you wake up, or I'll tickle you!"

Luo Yanqing did wake up, but she woke up when she poked him in the face again and muttered softly.

In other words, Luo Yanqing heard his wife say he was cute and "porridge" on him!

As for dragging Jiang Li into his arms, there was no doubt that it was a playful move.

Slowly opening his eyes, Luo Yanqing's eyes fell on Jiang Li's pure and beautiful face, which showed no trace of time. His eyes moved up. He looked into her clear eyes and suddenly smiled: "I'm angry. ?”

"Why should I be angry?" Jiang Li sat up and said, "It's you, did you have a nightmare?"

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, the smile in Luo Yanqing's black eyes faded away. He sat up and said calmly: "The people in Mawang Village called me this noon and said that the man fell ill two days ago and couldn't afford it." , but insisted not to go to the hospital. This morning... I really didn't wake up, so my family rushed to the town health center, but the health center had limited conditions and could not receive treatment, so I transferred him to Langcheng People's Hospital..."

Seeing that Luo Yanqing didn't say anything further, Jiang Li asked, "How is the situation?"

"Advanced cancer... I'm afraid I won't survive these two days."

There was no emotion on Luo Yanqing's face.

"cancer?"

Jiang Li was surprised.

"Ah."

Luo Yanqing nodded.

"Should we go to Langcheng to have a look?"

Jiang Li asked.

"Go there at noon."

Luo Yanqing responded.

"Row."

Jiang Li had no objection and said, "I'll call Weiwei and Tuanzi later to ask if they are free. If we can get away, we can go meet their grandma together."

When Luo Yanqing heard the words, he was silent for a while, nodded and said "Yeah".

……

Langcheng.

People's Hospital.

Wang Guilan was lying on the hospital bed. She felt that her eyelids were heavy, but she still tried her best to open her eyes.

"Mom, are you awake?!"

Meng Xingping stood guard by the hospital bed. When he saw his mother open her eyes, his face immediately showed joy.

But he knew clearly that the woman in front of him, his own mother, was seriously ill, and even with the best medicine, it would be difficult to save her life.

Thinking this way, I couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in my heart.

"Mother (grandma)!"

The ward door was pushed open, and the eldest brother Meng Xingwang, several other brothers, their wives, and children and grandchildren poured into the ward. Their eyes were red, and some of them couldn't even hold back their tears.

"You brothers stay here, everyone else can go out."

Wang Guilan's voice was very weak. She looked at Meng Xingping, then at Meng Xingwang and others.

When only she and her sons from remarriage were left in the ward, Wang Guilan said: "I know my time is running out. Before I leave, I have a few words to say..."

The eyes of the Meng Xingping brothers were filled with tears, and they all called "Mother" in unison.

"I actually have no regrets about being able to live to this day and enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren... But looking back, the person I am most sorry for in my life is your eldest brother... You must remember that after I leave, no one is allowed to go there Your eldest brother comes to his door and brings trouble to him.

People have to be content. When I left your eldest brother behind, he actually had nothing to do with me. But your eldest brother was kind-hearted. When our mothers were in the most difficult time... regardless of past grudges, he helped our mothers.
Let you not only have a future, but also marry a wife and live a good life that the people in the village envy.If after I leave, you come to your eldest brother's door and ask him to help you for the sake of your children and grandchildren, I will never forgive you even if I am a ghost..."

Wang Guilan struggled to speak, but she had to say that she needed to warn her sons from remarriage that she would not allow them to cause trouble for the child she had abandoned earlier.

"Mom, don't worry, no matter how big the difficulties we have, we won't cause any trouble to Brother Luo."

Meng Xingping made a guarantee to my mother on behalf of several brothers.

"That's good, that's good..." Wang Guilan's eyelids were heavy. Seeing her slowly closing her eyes, Meng Xingping said hurriedly: "Mom, I called Brother Luo. He will definitely come to see you. Don't Did you sleep well?"

There is no doubt that Meng Xingping is worried that his mother will not wake up.

After Wang Guilan heard what Meng Xingping, the third child, said, she opened her eyes again, twitched her lips and said, "If he could come..."

"Yes, I can! Brother Luo will never stop coming to see you. Mom, don't sleep, we are waiting for Brother Luo!"

Meng Xingping is currently the most promising among the brothers. Even though there is more than one college student among the brothers below, Meng Xingping has been recommended to study at a command academy because of his outstanding performance in the team.

Speaking of which, he can be considered a college student.

At this moment, as his voice fell, other brothers gathered around the hospital bed, talking to Wang Guilan word by word to prevent my mother from really leaving them.

The doctor said that if the patient can wake up, just say a few more words, because once the patient falls asleep again, the chance of waking up is almost zero.

In fact, this is a euphemism. Meng Xingping and the others know that if my mother closes her eyes at this time, she will be separated from them.

In the corridor outside the ward door, Luo Yanqing and Jiang Li walked towards Wang Guilan's ward with Minghan and Mingwei, three dumplings and small bean buns.

"Uncle! Auntie!"

When the sons and daughters of Meng Xingping's brothers saw Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing's party, they all called out.

"You are here, my shopkeeper and several brothers-in-law are inside."

This was the voice of Meng Xingwang's daughter-in-law, Niu Weizhen. She opened the ward door: "Go in, my mother is waiting for you!"

Luo Yanqing said nothing. He and Jiang Li walked into the ward with their children.

Niu Weizhen casually closed the ward door again.

"Brother, sister-in-law!"

Over the years, in front of Luo Yanqing, the Meng Xingping brothers had already called Luo Yanqing eldest brother.

Rather than the somewhat crude title of "Brother Luo".

"coming."

Wang Guilan turned her eyes to Luo Yanqing. She smiled laboriously and said, "It's great that you can come. I'm sorry for you as a mother in this life. If you have a next life, don't be reborn in my belly. I don't deserve it... …I am not worthy to be your mother…”

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and she suddenly gasped for breath. Seeing this, Jiang Li hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help her breathe.

"Thank you! Thank you for staying with Yan Qing and giving him children, thank you!"

After regaining his temper, Wang Guilan looked at Jiang Li, her eyes filled with gratitude.

After a moment, she returned her gaze to Luo Yanqing: "For your father, I am not a good wife, and for you... I am not a good mother, but you still helped me and Xingwang and their brothers, Yan Qing ...You want to be well and live a long life...You want to live a long life..."

Breathing heavily again, Wang Guilan moved her eyes to Minghan and the others.

"grandmother……"

Minghan called Wang Guilan several times.

Jiang Li helped Shunqi again, but Wang Guilan still couldn't catch his breath and closed his eyes.

However, she left with a smile.

It's easy to see it on her face.

The Meng Xingping brothers burst into tears.

The next moment, Niu Weizhen and others entered the ward, and for a while, the ward was full of crying.

……

Together with the Meng Xingping brothers, they sent Wang Guilan's body to his home in Mawang Village. Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing returned to Beicheng with their children in the middle of the afternoon.

A few days later, Wang Guilan was buried.

Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing came to Mawang Village again one afternoon with their children.

No doubt they rested in the village that night.

The funeral was over on the second day. They said goodbye to Meng Xingping and the Meng family, and drove away from Mawang Village. Watching their car drive away, Meng Xingping and his brothers knew that from now on, they had nothing to do with Luo Yan's settlement.

Even though they are related by blood, they are still not very close emotionally.

Besides, with my mother's last words here, even if they get closer in the future, they can only think about it in their hearts.

And the other party... has no use for them at all, so naturally they won't take the initiative to contact them.

"Go back."

Sighing secretly, Meng Xingping called several brothers into the yard.

He entered the door first.

What I want to say is that Jiang Li's family drove three cars to attend Wang Guilan's funeral.

One was undoubtedly driven by Luo Yanqing.

One was driven by Minghan.

The third car was driven by Xi Jingyu, who drove his own car.

Military green off-road, looks very domineering!

Minghan drives the same off-road model, and they are indeed classmates and good brothers. In addition, they are now uncle and brother-in-law, so they have exactly the same vision when it comes to choosing a car model.

Three dumplings and Xiaodou Bao were sitting on Minghan's car.

Originally, the three dumplings planned to drive their own cars, but before setting off, they all felt troubled and got into the car of their second brother Minghan with Xiaodou Bao.

As for Mingwei, she naturally took her husband Xi Jingyu’s car.

"are you OK?"

That day, he and the Meng brothers sent Wang Guilan's body to his home in Mawang Village. As soon as he returned to Beicheng, Luo Yanqing went to the research institute to continue the work at hand.

Jiang Li was not at ease, but he also knew that Luo Yanqing needed to digest and let go of her mother-in-law's death.

Yesterday afternoon, Luo Yanqing returned home from the home, and his family rushed to Mawang Village. In addition, Luo Yanqing was silent on the road and his mood was obviously low, so Jiang Li remained silent and didn't say anything on the road.

Now that the funeral of the cheap mother-in-law has been completed, and Luo Yanqing looks okay, Jiang Li can't help but ask.

"Ah."

Luo Yanqing nodded lightly, not wanting Jiang Li to worry, so he said, "I'm fine."

"Although Ruirui and his grandma left suddenly, you also saw that she closed her eyes with a smile, which means she left peacefully."

Jiang Li thought it would be better to comfort the man with a few words. Even if he didn't need it, he would feel better with her comfort.

"Ah."

Luo Yanqing nodded, agreeing with what Jiang Li said.

"The words Ruirui's grandma closed her eyes are enough to show that she really realizes that she has to let go of the mistakes she made to you. I hope you just let it go and stop thinking about it. Remember, there are people around you. I have our children, and there will be many grandchildren to accompany me in the future. We all love you very much!"

"I'm not a child, you don't have to do this."

"What is this like?"

"you know."

"I don't know, Mr. Luo, just tell me, what is it like for me to be like this?"

Jiang Li did it on purpose, just to make the man happy.

Luo Yanqing felt warm in his heart. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head helplessly, saying: "I may have some feelings for her, but those feelings won't make me miserable after her death, or even Live or die."

After a slight pause, he continued: "She never treats me badly. The reason why she closed her eyes and said those words to me was simply to move me to be willing to reach out to help her and the Meng brothers when they were in the most difficult times." To pull them out and say how deep her feelings are for me, in my opinion, just listen."

"She has realized that what she did was wrong. Can you admit that?"

Jiang Li asked.

"If I hadn't helped their family back then, do you think she would have reflected? Would she have known that it was wrong to abandon me at an early age and take away all the family's savings to remarry?"

Luo Yanqing looked indifferent: "It's just that I benefited from it, and I feel a little regretful after my life got better. If I take it seriously, what are the sufferings I suffered in my early years? But then again, I didn't stop long ago. Hate her, after all, everyone is an independent individual, she pursues her own happiness, this is her right, I have no right to blame, but I have the right to cut off the relationship with her."

"If you really cut off the bond between mother and child, you wouldn't help her family and bury her."

Jiang Li said: "Okay, everything is in the past now. You don't need to think about it anymore. From now on, our family can live a good life. By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. Our great eldest son and our My second son will almost have a girlfriend.”
