90: The mother of the little cannon fodder in the control group is reborn

"My sister-in-law has been discharged from the hospital. Should we go and visit her?"

Although Cai Fanghong also attended Chao Dazhuang's funeral, she was admitted to the hospital once, and it stands to reason that she should have visited her on the day she was discharged.

It's just that Cai Fanghong came back because of the funeral. She didn't want to ask her to attend the wake or funeral, for fear of hurting the child in her belly.

But Cai Fanghong insisted on going, or Chao Mingliang insisted on her going. Fortunately, Cai Fanghong was fine, and the child in her belly was also very strong.

"You have the final say on this, so I don't have to go, right?"

Chao Mingyue had always participated in the interactions between these women if he could, while Hua Lingling didn't really get involved in the situations between Chao Mingyue's men.

"Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."

It's not that I don't want to go now, it's just that it's lunch time soon. Going at this time would be a suspicion of cheating. Hua Lingling and her family are not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others, so naturally they won't do anything like visiting people's homes at noon.

"Well, what's for lunch? I'll do it."

Chao Mingyue rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, planning to cook a good meal for noon today and have a good meal as a family. In the past few days, everyone has made eating a priority, just to fill their stomachs and not delay things.

"Let's make some hot and sour cabbage, and it'll be appetizing."

The only dishes we have at home are the same ones we cook over and over again.

"Row!"

Chao Mingyue went to the west room and took out a cabbage, peeled off the broken leaves on the outside, and started chopping the vegetables.

The sound of chopping vegetables woke up Chao Shuyu who was still sleeping in the back room. He woke up just in time to wake up and eat soon.

"The money for the funeral was finally divided between the three of us. Each of us was about fifty yuan. The eldest brother borrowed his share from me and the second brother. I lent him thirty. We discussed the first seven..."

While Chao Mingyue was chopping vegetables, he told Hua Lingling the results of the discussion.

"I understand. Brother, you have to pay back the money. Even if he didn't write an IOU, you have to keep the accounts. You can't refuse to pay back the money. Brothers also have to settle the accounts clearly.

Are you okay these two days? If you have nothing to do, just fold ingots at home, or else peel corn kernels and peanuts. There is plenty of work to do at home, so don't go out and run around. "

Hua Lingling actually doesn't like Chao Mingyue's temperament that can't stay at home, but she used to like this person, so she thinks everything about him is good or bad.

Now, she will not continue to spoil him. There is only one person she wants to spoil, and that is her daughter Chao Shuyu.

"Oh, it's just the Chinese New Year, so there's nothing else to do besides shouting and playing cards together."

Chao Mingyue's tone was a little bitter. If his wife hadn't mentioned this, he would have gone to a cousin's house to play cards tomorrow.

After lunch, Hua Lingling carried two kilograms of brown sugar to Chao Mingliang's house. Cai Fanghong heard some movement in the patio, saw Hua Lingling from the window, and immediately came out.

"Lingling is here! You came just as you said you would, why are you still bringing something with you?"

"I just brought some brown sugar to my sister-in-law. Is she at home? Where's Xiangxiang?"

The topics among women either start with the parents' quarrels, or start with the children, men, and mother-in-law. The two of them are sisters-in-law, so the best topic is the children.

"You're so polite! Xiangxiang, she can't stay at home, she's gone somewhere long ago, she has no memory at all!"

The adults have deep memories of what happened on the first day of the new year. They wish they could keep their children at home and not let them go anywhere. But the child didn't behave like a girl. He couldn't stay still for a quarter of an hour and slipped out without noticing.

"Kids are like that."

Hua Lingling said politely.

"Your little Yu is not like this. He is well-behaved and cute, but makes people feel pain just looking at him! He is not like my tomboy who is restless!"

Although Cai Fanghong said this, she had a motherly smile on her face, which showed that she didn't mean what she said.

Parents are like this. When looking after their children, they only care about other people's children, but they still only love their own children. Just like Hua Lingling, she also thinks that her daughter is naughty, but her neighbors and relatives all think that she is a little lady. .

What can a lady do to get through the door blocking?

It's just that I can't let go when facing relatives.

"Aren't children more naughty and mischievous before their parents' birthday? Sister-in-law, how are you feeling? Are you exhausted these days?"

"It's okay. It's mainly because you are busy, so I'll just go through the motions..."

After chatting for about an hour, Hua Lingling found an excuse and left. Before leaving, Cai Fanghong returned her hot water bottle to her, which she had forgotten because she was only thinking about the lottery that day.

When I got home, I saw Chao Mingyue sitting under Chao Shuyu's window, peeling corn kernels in the sun, but Chao Shuyu was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm home!"

"Where's Xiao Yu?"

"In the house..."

The hesitant expression made Hua Lingling's eyelids jump.

If a child is quiet, he must be acting like a monster.

She put down the thermos bottle and went into the house to take a look, oh wow! The little guy was sewing something with a needle and thread. Hua Lingling didn't dare to disturb her, for fear that she would prick her hand accidentally, but she didn't expect that the little girl would smile at her at the door when she heard the sound.

"Mom is back!"

Hua Lingling smiled and said "hmm", stepped forward and asked:

"What are you sewing on?"

"Butterfly! It's the butterfly clip we saw on other little girls' heads when we went to the county town."

I don’t know if it’s a butterfly hairpin made of plastic or metal. There are several strings of colorful beads on the wings. There are springs under the wings. There is always a feeling of fluttering wings. Chao Shuyu can’t forget it even after a few days.

"Want it? Why didn't you say it then?"

She's not the kind of mother who keeps saying "no" to her daughter. Why doesn't this daughter say anything directly? Do mother and daughter still want to play a guessing game?

"I didn't see any for sale."

Chao Shuyu pouted, the sad look on his face made Hua Lingling couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay, then you sew it yourself first, and then I'll buy it for you when I see one for sale."

Hua Lingling rubbed Chao Shuyu's head. She rubbed it gently twice, but the two little braids were still messed up by her carelessness, and the hairband could not fall off.

Forget it, messiness is also a kind of beauty. Who said the little girl's hair is too smooth?

Hua Lingling took the thermos bottle out of the house, washed the bottle, and used hot water to boil the bladder and cork inside the bottle twice before placing it on the wall.

"Daughter-in-law, I want to go to the city tomorrow."

It wasn't that he was untrustworthy, but he just remembered that there was an event he had to participate in every year. If he didn't participate, he would feel uncomfortable.
