didn't think it was likely, so she quickly climbed onto her grandmother's lap and hugged her neck. 。Then Old Li came to her senses and struggled to stand up. 。Fortunately, the people sitting on the c...Li Lao Tai patted her hand, interrupting her.
You know that was a long time ago. To be honest, our family doesn't really like how Mr. Guo acts, and we don't plan on continuing to socialize with him. But no matter how many mistakes the Guo family makes, we wouldn't take it out on a child.
"If you want to help this child, then help. This child is indeed a good one. In the future, our family will treat her as just your niece..."
"Auntie!" Mrs. Wen was overjoyed, clasping Li Lao Tai's hand tightly. "You are so magnanimous and kind! With your words, I am relieved. I don't like Mr. Guo either, but this child is innocent."
"After many years of hardship, I finally have a family. I want to do good deeds and accumulate blessings for the children who haven't been born yet."
"Alright, alright," Old Madam Li soothed her, fearing she was too excited. "Cultivating virtue and doing good is never wrong. Do whatever you think is right!"
At this time, Tao Hongying also brought in the dishes with Qiong's mother.
Golden yellow rice porridge with dates, cooked to a thick and fragrant consistency.
Serve with a plate of freshly made spicy cucumber sticks, a plate of sweet and sour potato shreds, plus a minced meat tofu dish and a stir-fried vegetable.
Finally, there was a plate of golden scallion pancakes, soft and glistening with oil.
Mrs. Wen only took a glance, and her stomach rumbled, causing everyone to laugh and quickly help set the table.
Jia Yin was also drooling. Taking advantage of her young age and thick skin, she scurried over to join in and eat and drink with them.
She claimed that she was there to eat with them, which made both her niece and her nephew enjoy their meal more.
Finally, Mrs. Wen ate a bowl of porridge, two pancakes, and quite a bit of side dishes.
This made Aunt Qiao so happy, she almost wanted to keep Tao Hongying and have her cook for the mistress every day.
But she wouldn't dare to say that.
Li Laosi is now a general, Tao Hongying is the general's wife, and she is also the county princess's mother. People came to cook specially because of their close relationship.
The Wen family is just like having thick skin, as thick as a city wall. You can't really treat people like cooks!
Fortunately, Tao Hongying and Lao Tai Li also felt sorry for Wen Fu's poor appetite. Lao Tai Li said, "Rest for a few days, as long as you are not afraid of moving, why don't you go live in the new village"
"Wenjuan is also pregnant, so taking care of one or two children at home makes no difference. Besides, there are many people in the village. Your husband goes to the government office during the day, you stay home, everyone chats and does some needlework together. Life would be lively and pass quickly."
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she was moved and said, “Good, I’ll listen to my aunt’s words. In a few days, I’ll go live with my aunt.”
After some laughter and chatter, as the afternoon wore on, Mrs. Liu arrived in a flurry.
She also brought a lot of things, even an old, short and stout woman.
"Jinerou, what wonderful news!" Mrs. Liu rushed to embrace Mrs. Wen upon seeing her, her joy overflowing.
Liu Zhiheng had no sisters, so Mrs. Liu had no younger sister-in-law. Her sisters-in-law were even thousands of miles away, and she hadn't seen them in many years.
She treats Madam Wen like a close younger sister or cousin.
Having heard that she had finally cheered up, I came over in a hurry.
Mrs. Wen was also excited and her eyes turned red.
She had actually given up hope, but unexpectedly good fortune came her way.
Li Lao hurriedly advised the two, "It's not even three months yet, don't make Jiner cry! Sit down and talk!"
"Yes, yes, I was so excited I forgot myself!" Mrs. Liu hurriedly smiled and curtsied to Old Mrs. Li, then hugged the chubby Jia Yin and chatted with her for a few words. Then she remembered the nursemaid and said: "Sister, you don't have an elderly person at home to look after things, and this is your first time giving birth. You don't have any reliable help around!
“This is Grandma Tian. She took care of me and Xiu Jie from when we were in my mother's womb until we were two years old. She knows all about the taboos for clothing, diet, and so on, and she even has a bit of medical knowledge. This time, I wasn't comfortable leaving you alone, so I asked Grandma Tian to come and help take care of you for two years.”
Mrs. Wen was overjoyed. She truly needed an experienced old nanny like this by her side.
This gift really touched her heart!
Grandma went forward to pay her respects, but was lifted up by the woman and immediately awarded a big red envelope. Then she asked Joan to take her down to settle in.
Li Laotai laughed and said, “Jinrou also said she would go live in the new village in a few days. She will definitely bring Granny Tian with her. At that time, with Granny Tian around, my Wenjuan will also be able to borrow some light!”
"Oh, Sister-in-Law is taking Jinerou to the village. Then I'm even more at ease." Liu Fu warmly sat beside Li Lao Tai, "Jinerou has a stubborn temper. If I took her home, she definitely wouldn't agree, but going to the new village, she feels as comfortable as being back home. This is best. When I go see Jinerou, I can also have some delicious meals at my Sister-in-Law's house."
“Haha, it's fine if Jiner doesn't go. You can go yourself. I guarantee you'll have a good meal.” Li Lao Tai laughed heartily, “In a few days, the fruit on the mountain will be ripe, and Jia Ren and the others will definitely come back. Let Zhi Min and Xiu Jie come too, and let's have a lively few days together.”
People were gathered together, chatting and laughing, the room was filled with such warmth and merriment.
Mrs. Wen listened and smiled, her heart filled with warmth beyond compare.
Though her parents are gone, she still has so many relatives who care for and love her...
As the sun began to set, the Li family left their house in Wenjia and drove back to Xin Village.
Mrs. Liu also had to hurry back to the city, but she was still worried.
Thankfully, Mr. Wen returned just in time.
In a blink of an eye, it had been five or six days. Tao Hongying, having nothing to do, cooked several good dishes and had them sent to Wen's village.
Mrs. Wen often sent gifts back, such as snacks that Jia Yin liked, some delicate trinkets, and some supplements suitable for pregnant women.
This day, Shui Ling, who was running errands, returned from the Wen family and brought an invitation.
It turns out that Mr. Wen is going to accept Guo Wenhao as his disciple tomorrow, and he invites the Li family to attend.
Li Laosi is at the military camp, Li Zhensheng is in Quanzhou, and Li Lao San is in Lu'an. In fact, this post is for Li Laer.
Old Mrs. Li and the others were all women, such occasions are not suitable for showing their faces.
Then Granny Li said, "Put it aside first and let the second son have a look when he gets back."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Lao Er came back by car, followed by Jia Ren, Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er!
This was a huge surprise! Jia Yin cheered and ran forward, hugging each of her brothers. Finally, she climbed onto Jiarren's back and refused to get down.
The three brothers, Jia Ren included, were also overjoyed. Jia Ren carried his little sister on his back, rocking her back and forth, but Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er snatched her away, teaming up to carry her in a palanquin, running around the yard non-stop.
Old Mrs. Li was also smiling from ear to ear, afraid that her grandchildren would tire themselves out. This time, she favored the youngest and held her chubby granddaughter down, saying: "Let your brothers rest for a while, and play again after dinner."
After saying this, she asked her son, “How did you bring all the children back You could have taken leave from the academy”
“That’s right, Mother. Mr. Wen will be taking Guo Wenhao as his disciple tomorrow.” Li La Er replied, “Jiaren is the eldest senior brother, so he definitely has to go. Liu Zhiheng has also taken Zhimin and Xiujie, so I might as well bring my younger brothers along too.”
"Since Guo Wenhao is now Mr. Wen's disciple, he inevitably needs to move and interact with the children, letting them get familiar with each other first."
Li Laotai nodded and didn't stop him.k you so much for your help. If we hadn't met you, all the men, women and children in our village would have been lost!"Yet Young Master Ye refused to take credit, saying, "Back when I was down on my...
