After dinner, Fu Jingyou went to Fu's house.

There were still some sparks in the stove, so Lu Miao poured some water into the pot and put the bowls and chopsticks in to soak.

Wait until the water becomes warm before proceeding with cleaning.

Just as she was finishing up, there was a knock on the front door.

Fu Jingyou is back.

Lu Miao bolted the door again:

"So fast?"

"Ah."

"What's going on now? Is it serious?"

"I refused to tell the truth at first, but later... I said that I encountered a wild boar on the way back from the mountains. I fell while running, and now I'm very swollen."

Lu Miao was slightly surprised:

"Are there any wild boars here?"

Fu Jingyou nodded.

He had just gotten married at that time, and in order to quickly gain some wealth, he went into the mountains with He Hongjin to hunt wild boars.

It was just that I didn't explicitly mention this matter because I was afraid that Lu Miao would be worried.

Lu Miao was still worried: "Will the wild boar come down the mountain?"

"Sometimes when I can't find anything to eat in winter, I go to the fields at the foot of the mountain to make noises. I usually don't come back to places where there are people."

Lu Miao felt a little relieved and asked again:

"What's the situation with uncle? Is it just a little swollen?"

Fu Jingyou shook his head and hugged her towards the room:

"When he fell, he must have hit some tree branch or sharp stone, and a lot of pus formed... I just let him out, and I will take him there to have a look when he goes to work in the county tomorrow."

Lu Miao nodded her chin worriedly, not daring to dwell on that scene.

Early the next morning, Fu Jingyou took He Hong to the county to see his legs on his bicycle.

Zhao Lanxiang got up and took a look after hearing the noise.

Seeing He Hongjin limping out of the hospital, she rolled her eyes and said "hum", then lay down and continued to sleep.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the sound of chattering in the courtyard.

The sun was just right in the courtyard, so Chen Guifen stewed a ladle of sweet potatoes, mixed them with the ones that were not battered, and asked Minmin and Minjie to sit on the small bench.

Eat sweet potatoes while basking in the sun.

Minjie has been following Lu Miao for a while. He doesn't know any words, but Lu Miao has taught him a lot about number songs and children's songs.

When eating sweet potatoes, Minjie started counting sweet potatoes in his own adaptation of the children's song about counting ducks.

Minmin was curious and asked him:

"Xiaojie, what song are you singing?"

Minjie encouraged his little mouth and said:

"It's a children's song, taught by my little aunt."

"Auntie is so powerful!"

"Yes, my little aunt is the best, and the food she cooks is particularly delicious. Sister, please go to my aunt's house with me to play today! My younger brothers and sisters are also obedient."

Minjie usually has breakfast at He's house and lunch at Fu's house, eating with Dabao and Erbao.

Sometimes He Hongjin and the others were busy late at night, so Minjie would have dinner at Fu's house.

Within a month or two, the little guy's originally chubby face looked rounder and fairer.

Zhao Lanxiang had always wanted a son, and when she saw Minjie in the courtyard, who was tough-headed, fleshy and fair, she felt both fond and envious of him.

But that was in the past, and there is no need to be envious in the future.

Zhao Lanxiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she touched her flat belly.

From time to time, Minjie could not speak a word or two of polite Mandarin. After hearing this, Zhao Lanxiang resented the second wife for being such a thief.

He sent his son back to be taken care of by the Fu family, but he didn't even say hello to her.

It's like she hides all the benefits and wants to keep them for herself, as if she's afraid that others will steal them from her.

Zhao Lanxiang looked down on Tian Guihua's "little family spirit", but she didn't want to miss this opportunity to take advantage. Thinking about what Minjie said just now, Zhao Lanxiang held the door frame and coaxed Minjie with a smile:

"Minjie, my aunt has something to do today. Can you take your sister to your aunt's house to play?"

Bringing up one baby is also caring, and raising two babies is also caring.

If I can take care of my second child, why can't I take care of her?

Minjie didn't know about the dispute between the adults, so he nodded with his mouth bulging:

"I know, auntie, my little aunt's house is very lively, and my little aunt loves to be lively."

Chen Guifen came out after cleaning up the stove. On the small chair in the yard, there were only two uneaten sweet potatoes left, and Minmin and Minjie were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the two kids? They didn't even take a bite of breakfast. Where did they go?"

Zhao Lanxiang stood in the courtyard basking in the sun, combing her braids, and said:

"Went to Xiaoliu's house."

Chen Guifen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she slapped her leg with a "tsk" sound:

"I usually take Minmin with me and it doesn't bother you. How could you let Minmin go there? Aren't you causing trouble for others!"

Zhao Lanxiang said neither salty nor blandly:

"It's Minjie who insists on dragging Minmin with him. What can I do? The boy is very strong. If I pull him, what should I do if he falls?"

Zhao Lanxiang touched her belly, hummed and said indifferently:

"Besides, I'm not empty-handed. Didn't I bring a few sweet potatoes? Isn't it enough to just stay at their house for a while? You are so stingy, even from the city!"

Zhao Lanxiang turned around and entered the house.

"Mom, you have two children, you really don't know anything!"

Chen Guifen really didn't want to talk to Zhao Lanxiang.

No matter how energetic Minjie is, he is still just a four-year-old boy!

Besides, even if you talk to Minjie, Minjie won't listen.

Her own biological girl usually behaves like a quail. How can Minmin not listen to her even if she roars?

Too lazy to mess around with Zhao Lanxiang, Chen Guifen took off her clothes and threw them on the table in the hall, then went out to the Fu family.

On the other side, the Fu family.

In the main room, Minjie called his aunt.

Lu Miao was killing turtles with scissors in the backyard when he heard the noise and stuck his head out.

Originally, she wanted to coax Minjie to play with Dabao Erbao for a while, but before she could say anything, Lu Miao saw Minmin lying on the edge of the fence with a curious look on her face.

Minmin saw her out of the corner of her eye and stood up straight:

"Little aunt."

The little girl has clean eyes, and apart from being reserved, there is nothing else on her body.

That is, no matter how tricky adults are, they are still adults and have nothing to do with children.

Lu Miao has always understood this truth.

Especially after having a child of my own.

But at this moment, seeing all the timid Minmin in the hall, she just felt...

Such as knuckles in the throat.

The fence in the main room has been adjusted.

It turns out that there is a mat underneath, but now that the weather is cold, I am afraid that the eldest child and the second child will get cold if they sit on it and play.

Fu Jingyou used bricks and stones to fix the logs underneath, and put wooden boards on top, raising it by nearly 30 centimeters.

Afraid that the board would be too hard, several layers of straw mats were placed on top of the board, and quilts and sheets were placed on top.

At this time of year, the eldest and second babies can sit on it and play without having to worry about sticking to the ground and getting cold.

If it gets colder in the future, you can put a shorter charcoal pot underneath to keep warm.

Lu Miao suppressed her emotions and washed her hands in the backyard. After returning to the main room, she asked Minjie and Minmin to take off their shoes.

She held the two little ones and went into the playpen to play together.

The child was innocent, but Lu Miao was more cautious.

When she carried Minmin into the fence, she asked:

"Has Minmin grown taller again? Does your mother know if you come over to play?" (End of Chapter)
