Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Mother Lin still remembers how Xu Wanning had a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to her youngest sister and almost died while lying on the hospital bed.

It was an accident that she became pregnant with Yaomei.

That day, she was in a low mood because of Gu Jun's indifference, so she drank some wine at Li Qianqian's instigation. Lin An happened to be home on vacation. Under the influence of alcohol, she forcibly had sex with Lin An.

That's when Yaomei was born.

After realizing that she was pregnant, the original person did not want the child and was going to the hospital to abort it. It was Lin's mother who knelt down to pray and promised that from now on, the original person would make the final decision on all matters concerning the Lin family. She and Lin An would never interfere. Only then did the original body give up the idea.

Therefore, Mother Lin has always felt guilty towards the original person.

I always feel that if I hadn't forced my original body to give birth to Yaomei, she wouldn't have suffered so much. Moreover, during the most difficult time, her mother's family couldn't be with her.

This is why Dachun and Yaomei are both four or five years old, and she has never mentioned that she wants Xu Wanning to have another child.

"Well, I won't have any more children. I have such lovely and filial children as Dachun and Yaomei, and I am already content."

"Okay, you should wash up and go to bed early. I'm afraid I'm exhausted after staying in the hospital for a few days."

Xu Wanning was indeed a little tired. There was a shortage of beds in the hospital, and her caregiver could only sit on the bench in the corridor and take a nap, so she really didn't have any rest for several days.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Xu Wanning was awakened by a burst of noise.

She calmed down for a while, then turned over and got out of bed.

In the courtyard of the Lin family, there were more than a dozen aunties and aunts from the village who had a good relationship with Lin's mother.

Because Lin's mother was not allowed to enter the house, more than a dozen people stood in the yard chatting. It happened to be a group of people with loud voices, so it was rare for Xu Wanning to avoid the clamor of her biological clock, but she still couldn't sleep in.

"Hey, Aning woke up. Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet. Aunt Yang, why are you coming to my house so early?" Xu Wanning asked bluntly.

She was hungry, hadn't slept well, and was already on the verge of being irritable, so it would be better if she didn't get angry directly.

"We need to talk to your mother about something, but you don't have to worry about us. It's more important to be busy with your own serious business."

Hearing this, Xu Wanning turned around and went to the kitchen.

Dachun and Yaomei were clumsily adding water to the big iron pot.

But Yaomei was too small and the stove was high. She almost fell into the iron pot. Fortunately, Xu Wanning hugged her quickly.

"What do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you."

"My brother said that my mother has been exhausted these days and wants to make some egg drop soup for her, but we haven't boiled the water yet."

Dachun was working hard to add firewood to the stove. The water in the back pot was boiling, and the water in the front pot had only boiled a few times.

"Silly Chun'er, you put the firewood too far back, so the firepower is concentrated on the back pot. If you put the firewood a little further forward, the pot will heat up quickly."

Dachun put the firewood according to the method taught by Xu Wanning, and sure enough, the water boiled in a short time.

Xu Wanning took five eggs and gave them to Yaomei: "Aren't you going to make egg drop soup for Mom? Come on, Mom will teach you."

Xu Wanning did not deprive the children of their filial piety in wanting to make breakfast for her, but accompanied them to make breakfast together.

As for those uninvited people in the yard, she had no intention of paying any attention to them.

After the egg drop soup was ready, Yaomei was about to serve it out, but was stopped by Xu Wanning.

"I'll come, you and your brother sit down obediently and get ready to eat."

She was afraid that Yaomei's hand would be unstable and she would pour the hot soup on her hand and get injured again.

Carrying Dachun and Yaomei on her back, she took eight large meat buns bought at a state-owned restaurant from the space, steamed them over the remaining fire, and brought them to the table to eat with the children.

"This bowl of egg drop soup and two meat buns belong to grandma. After those people in the yard leave, I will give them to grandma to eat."

Even though everyone in the village knows that the Lin family is living a good life now, with meat and refined grains to eat almost every other day, the specific method only exists in their imagination.

If Xu Wanning showed her breakfast in front of so many people at this time, bad things about their family would be spread throughout the village tomorrow.

She doesn't want to be the center of public opinion.

Mother Lin finally persuaded the group to leave with all her persuasion.

After breakfast, Mother Lin said: "The villagers didn't know where they found out that a branch of the food factory was going to be built in our Dajiang Village, and you were the person in charge, so they gave the idea to you. Please help me and arrange a position for them."

Xu Wanning was not surprised at all, after all, this was human nature.

But she was not willing to accept the offer.

"Mom, I can't help them. Otherwise, once this precedent is set, other people in the village will come looking for them. Will I help them or not?"

"Food factories have their own criteria for selecting employees, and the requirements are very high. Not everyone meets the requirements. Furthermore, there are a certain number of people who are in need. If I help this person but not that one, it will be easier for me to get into trouble. Simply don’t help anyone.”

"Next time these people come, see if you can stop them for me. If you can't stop them, I'll tell them the truth."

Xu Wanning wanted to leave a good impression on the villagers so that her life in Dajiang Village could be more comfortable.

But if the villagers are unwilling to cooperate, she can only solve the problem in her own way.

Anyway, she won't be able to stay in Dajiang Village for long.

There is no need to look at people's faces.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. That's it..."

Mother Lin was about to speak but stopped.

Xu Wanjing looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.

But Mother Lin just sighed heavily and said nothing.

"Mom, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's nothing important. Have you all eaten well? When you're done, I'll wash the dishes."

"I'll wash it, you can rest for a while."

"I'll come. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. You can go and do your serious business."

Seeing this, Xu Wanning stopped pushing. After giving Dachun and Yaomei their homework for the day, she continued to draw the design draft of the machine.

She had drawn a version from memory before, but when Dongzi showed it to a master who knew mechanics, he pointed out many problems, so she had no choice but to take it back and revise it again.

Before you know it, the new year has arrived.

Every household has window grilles, and the Lin family is no exception.

The window grilles at home were cut out by Mother Lin with her own hands. Xu Wanning sat and looked at them for a while, only to see a whole piece of white paper. After a few strokes in Mother Lin's hands, it turned into a complicated window grille.

"As I get older, my eyesight really can't keep up, otherwise I would still be able to cut out the paper-cut paintings of Dachun and Yaomei." Mother Lin's tone was quite proud.

In Aning's words, she is a skilled little old lady.
