Chapter 153 Do you prefer other children?
Chapter 153 Do you prefer other children?
Everyone woke up very early today. The mother and daughter got up to do morning exercises, and the father and son got up and went to the kitchen to work.
Lin Rongle took her sister and Ji Wei for morning exercises. After Bai Sui'an and Zhu Ying washed up, they used a cart to transport the bamboo they had collected yesterday to the field.
The two of them installed the small waterwheel together.
The work started when the sun just rose, and it was already bright when it was finished.
There is still a lot of work to be done, including drainage, digging ditches, and turning the soil.
Counting the days, Yinchuan was probably coming today. Zhuying asked Bai Sui'an what to do in the fields, and then he stayed in the fields to work, letting Bai Sui'an go back to look after the house.
When Bai Sui'an returned, he happened to see Ji Wei and Aunt Wang coming to deliver breakfast, followed by Aunt Wang's two daughters.
"Why did you come with me?"
Bai Sui'an was slightly surprised by the arrival of Aunt Wang and her mother and daughter.
After all, Aunt Wang’s family’s fields are not here.
The adults wanted to talk about business, so Ji Wei went to bring breakfast to Zhuying first.
Aunt Wang pushed her two daughters in front of Bai Sui'an with a smile on her face:
"I heard you bought a piece of land yesterday. I asked my two children to help you. Don't look at their young age. They have been doing farm work with me and their father since they were young. They know a lot and may be able to see the problem with your land."
Bai Sui'an declined politely: "No, I know you have good intentions, but I have already started to solve the problem of the fields, so I don't need help at the moment."
Even if he wanted to, Bai Sui'an had no reason to let these two little girls come. It was not yet the time for the children to suffer.
I thought they had finished the farm work at home, so they asked their daughter to help.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang did not want to leave, but pulled Bai Sui'an aside and whispered:
"We haven't settled the matter of yesterday yet. My sister-in-law is with us. My eldest brother wanted her back, but we refused, so he said he wanted to split the family. Now there's a quarrel at home, and I'm afraid they'll take their anger out on the child, so I want him to hide with you."
This is not a difficult task.
"No problem, I'll take the kids back and let them play with my daughter."
Aunt Wang felt embarrassed: "Don't you have a lot of things to do these days? I don't want to bother you. Just let them go to your place to work."
"Okay." Bai Sui'an patted Aunt Wang's back.
"It's the adults who are busy at home, and the children have plenty of time to play. Your two daughters are sensible and usually work beside you. They come to my place to take a break. It's okay to play all day. You can have lunch at my place too. I'll pick you up after we agree with you at home."
For some reason, Bai Sui'an's words made Aunt Wang feel a little sad.
In the past, Lin Yashu was as dark and thin as the two girls in her family. Now the Lin family is getting better and better, and Lin Yashu is getting more and more beautiful. The two girls are still suffering at home and don’t even have enough food to eat.
Taking a deep breath, Aunt Wang seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"If my two girls cause you any trouble, just send them back." Aunt Wang was polite to Bai Sui'an.
"I don't think it's too much trouble for me to have so many children. You can leave them with me without worry."
Aunt Wang went home with peace of mind, and Bai Sui'an also brought the two girls home.
There are many boys in the family. Lin Yashu usually takes her younger brother out to play with the boys in the village. It is rare for two girls to come home to play, so Bai Sui'an is still happy.
It’s just that Aunt Wang’s two daughters are both rather dull, and they may need some motivation to play.
When we got home, everyone was sitting at the table eating breakfast.
Seeing Bai Sui'an coming back, Ye Lingche came forward to greet him.
"I thought you and Aying were eating over there, and I asked Ji Weiduo to send some over." Ye Lingche's eyes fell on the two girls.
"Is this Aunt Wang's child? His name is..."
Bai Sui'an continued, "The big one is called Zhaozhao, and the smaller one is called Panpan."
When the two girls heard Bai Sui'an addressing them, they looked up at the same time. This address was too intimate, even their family members had never called them that.
Lin Yashu also looked over. Her stepmother had never called them like this using reduplication of words at home, but now she was calling other people's children like this.
Bai Sui'an invited the two children in: "Come in and sit down first, and play with my younger brother and sister later."
The two girls were a little reserved, so Bai Sui'an pulled out two chairs and gave them a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Li Zhaodi then whispered, "No need, Aunt Sui'an...we've already eaten at home."
Today they were eating dumplings. Ye Lingche picked up a bowl and handed it to Bai Sui'an, saying, "Let's eat together. We made quite a lot today. If you don't help, we might not be able to finish it."
Lin Rongkang nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is what my father and I made this morning. It's overcooked."
Bai Sui'an was already putting dumplings into the two girls' bowls, and he didn't forget to praise Lin Rongkang: "It turns out Rongkang also helped make breakfast today, so impressive."
She picked up an ugly dumpling and put it in her mouth. After eating it, she continued, "It's delicious. It seems that Rong Kang will become a chef like your father in the future."
Being praised by his mother, Lin Rongkang was very happy and grinned and said, "Mom, eat a few more. What if the one you just ate wasn't made by me?"
Bai Sui'an laughed and said, "How could it not be made by you? Mother can tell which one you made at a glance."
"So amazing?" The little kid's eyes lit up.
Everyone else just smiled and said nothing, saying that the child was still young and not that smart.
The dumplings were put together, one looked like a real thing, and the other looked like a crumpled piece of paper. It was easy to tell which one was made by which at a glance.
The two girls were too embarrassed to help themselves, so they basically ate whatever Bai Sui'an helped them with.
It was filled with meat. The two girls couldn't help licking their lips after eating it. They ate one after another under Bai Sui'an's feeding. They were very greedy but too embarrassed to show it.
If they took an extra piece of meat at home, they would be scolded by their grandfather and cousin. It was the first time they had eaten so much meat.
"Rong Le will teach the younger brothers and sisters to recognize words later. You can learn together so that you can have some company." Bai Sui'an said.
Lin Rongle nodded obediently.
Lin Yashu didn't react. She finished the soup in the bowl and then took away the bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing this, the two girls immediately stood up and said, "Let's wash."
Bai Sui'an pushed the two back to their seats and said, "You are guests, just sit down. I will go wash."
Her daughter was in a bad mood, so Bai Sui'an wanted to ask her privately, so she asked everyone else to sit outside while she went to accompany her daughter.
Lin Yashu was squatting alone washing dishes, and Bai Sui'an came forward to help.
"Yashu, what's wrong? Mother doesn't seem happy to see you."
When she didn't hear any other footsteps, Lin Yashu asked gloomily, "Mom, do you prefer other children? Aunt Wang's two older sisters do more work, so you like them more, right?"
