I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 388 Children are the hope of the future

Not long after, Old Mrs. Wu came out holding a bowl of clear and transparent water like crystal.

She smiled and said to Yang Mingxi in a friendly manner, "Xi'er, drink this bowl of water quickly. This will give you an appetite."

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi hurriedly stood up, tears glistening in her eyes, and replied with a slightly choked voice, "Thank you, grandma. I'll drink it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mingxi quickly reached out to take the bowl of water, carefully brought it to his lips, and then slowly drank it in small sips.

The water tasted a bit sour, even worse than the one made by Mrs. Wu, but Yang Mingxi did not complain at all. Instead, she endured it silently and drank the whole bowl of water one sip after another.

Old Lady Wu watched Yang Mingxi finish all the water. A gratified smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Youyou, accompany Xier for a walk. After she digests this bowl of water, you can come back for dinner. We'll wait here for you for a while."

Yang Mingxi stared at Old Lady Wu and noticed that her face seemed to reveal a hint of fatigue. She thought that she must be extremely tired, otherwise she would definitely insist on accompanying her for a walk!

Yang Mingxi smiled and responded, "Grandma, you and everyone should eat first. You've been tired all day. Let's go for a walk and be back soon."

Old Mrs. Wu said with a smile on her face, "I'm old, and my health isn't as good as it used to be. I'm really a little tired. But you two can go for a walk in the yard first. Your second aunt will go to the kitchen and add a few more dishes. You have a baby now, so you need to eat more to replenish your body."

Wu Laoliu slowly walked to Yang Mingxi's side and lowered his voice, "Xi'er, let me go out with you. Let's take a walk in the yard and let your mother rest for a while. She's tired too."

His gaze turned to Wu, and the moment their eyes met, his concern for his sister was revealed.

Mrs. Wu looked at her youngest brother with bloodshot eyes and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She understood that her brother must be feeling bad after seeing his sister-in-law's appearance today, and he probably had something to say to Xier!

Mrs. Wu nodded distressedly and said softly, "Okay, go ahead. I'll be relieved to have your uncle accompany you. I can also take this opportunity to take a break and have a rest."

Yang Mingxi walked up to Wu Laoliu with a smile and said obediently, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, little uncle."

The uncle and nephew smiled at each other, then walked out of the Wu family's main courtyard together and headed towards Uncle Wu's courtyard.

Along the way, Uncle Wu's steps seemed a little slow. He took care of Yang Mingxi carefully, fearing that she would fall or bump into something.

After walking for a while, Uncle Wu finally broke the silence and said, "Xier, I have an idea that I've been wanting to discuss with you."

He paused, as if thinking about how to put it.

Yang Mingxi raised her head and looked at Uncle Wu curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Uncle Wu took a deep breath and continued, "I want to split up and live on my own, or just take your aunt and the others and move to the workshop. That way, we can have our own living space, and the workshop is close to town, so it's more convenient for us to get things done."

Yang Mingxi pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, I understand your concerns, but your family's current situation is indeed not suitable for you to live alone.

Your family has just welcomed a new life, and your aunt-in-law just experienced a difficult childbirth and needs a long period of care and recovery. You have to manage the porcelain workshop, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to spare enough time to take care of them.

So, I think it's better to wait a little longer. I believe that Third Uncle will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Uncle Wu sighed helplessly and said, "I know Third Brother is a reasonable man, but even if he explains, we've already suffered the consequences, so what's the point?"

There was a hint of frustration in his tone.

Yang Mingxi quickly comforted him, "Uncle, don't think like that.

After all, you and your third uncle are family, so some things are unavoidable. Actually, your grandparents have done a very good job, and your eldest uncle and aunt are also relatively fair.

Although you might suffer a little loss, it's not too much. However, this time, Third Aunt did go a little too far."

Uncle Wu nodded and continued, "Xier, you may not know that when the children were young, we brothers all started families at the same time, and our home was small, so we had to live together.

At that time, the children from other families were more or less abused or beaten by my third sister-in-law.

Even though she never got the upper hand, I was still very angry because she was so petty! "

Uncle Wu said this with an angry look on his face, and at the same time he kicked the stone next to him hard, as if the stone was the resentment in his heart.

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but laugh.

She looked at Uncle Wu and said with a smile, "Uncle, I have something to say that you may not like to hear, but it is indeed the truth.

In fact, everyone in your family is very nice, including my third aunt.

Although she may show some stinginess and nitpicking when educating her children, this may actually be a good thing for her cousins."

Uncle Wu looked at Yang Mingxi with some confusion, obviously not quite understanding what she meant.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi continued to explain, "Think about it, as children grow up, they can't just see the good side of things, they also need to understand the bad side.

That way, when they enter society, they won't be like those "Versailles" who only care about showing off their superiority. Instead, they'll be able to look at things more comprehensively and be more tactful in their dealings with others. That's the quality we really want them to have, right?

"Xier, what is Versailles?" asked Uncle Wu.

After hearing Uncle Wu's question, Yang Mingxi suddenly realized that she had accidentally said the word "Versailles" and couldn't help but feel funny.

She quickly explained with a smile, "'Versailles' refers to the act of flaunting one's superiority by appearing to be humble or complaining. Haha, I'm just using an analogy, don't mind."

Uncle Wu thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, agreeing, "Yes, that's true. It's precisely because of the existence of such a talented person like Third Sister-in-law that our children are so outstanding in dealing with people."

Yang Mingxi also smiled slightly and agreed, "Yeah, when you think about it, it's actually quite good! But what Third Aunt did this time really deserves some punishment. Let's see how Third Uncle handles this matter first!"

After hearing this, Uncle Wu smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "Oh, never mind. I was too persistent today and ended up in a dead end.

If you think about it carefully, how different is my behavior from that of my third sister-in-law?

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi hurried forward and gently patted Uncle Wu on the shoulder, giving him comfort and support in this silent way.

The two continued walking side by side, and after walking for a while, they finally arrived at Uncle Wu's yard.

Yang Mingxi suddenly revealed a mischievous smile and teased, "Okay, we're already here, let's go in and take a look at your little cotton-padded jacket!"

Uncle Wu smiled a little embarrassedly and responded, "Yes, I have a caring little cotton-padded jacket at home now, hehe!"

The two walked to the door of the room together, and Uncle Wu shouted loudly: "Baby's mother, Xier and I are here to visit you, we'll be coming in right away!"

Yang Mingxi was delighted when she saw how cautious Uncle Wu was. With the way her uncle and aunt were getting along, they would definitely be able to live a good life. They definitely would.

After Wu Laoliu finished speaking, he pushed the door open a crack and walked in crouching down.

Yang Mingxi did the same, following Uncle Wu into the room where Mrs. Mi was resting.

"Why are you here? Isn't it time for dinner now?" Mrs. Mi said slowly.

"Let's come and see the little sister. Her uncle loves her very much!" Yang Mingxi said with a smile.

Mi looked at her man embarrassedly and struggled to get up.

Uncle Wu quickly stepped forward and said, "Just lie down. Why are you getting up? Do you want to eat something? I'll make something for you."

Mi smiled and said, "I don't want to eat. My second sister-in-law came over just now and brought a bowl of brown sugar eggs. I couldn't eat it, so it's still there." Mi pointed to a small table not far away.

"Okay, if you don't want to eat, forget it. I'll be back after dinner. If you want to eat later, I'll heat it up for you!" Uncle Wu said, and then went forward to cover Mrs. Mi with a blanket.

Yang Mingxi touched the water bag on her body, turned around and secretly filled it with interstellar spring water, then took it out and said, "Aunt, this is the water bag I brought when I came here today. There is another bag. If you are thirsty, you can drink it directly. I will go and boil some more later."

Mi looked at the water bag handed over by Yang Mingxi, and remembered the water she drank when she had difficulty breathing. It seemed that Xier also gave it to her. She smiled and said, "That's great. This potion cooked by Xier is very comfortable to drink!"

"As long as you feel comfortable, I'll go make another big pot later and give you enough to drink, hehe."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xier. Come and have your meal quickly! Your little sister is very lazy and has been sleeping all the time." Mrs. Mi looked at the baby beside her and said with a smile.

"He's a lucky one, he's here to repay his gratitude!" Yang Mingxi also said with a smile while looking at the baby who was sleeping soundly.

"Then you have a good rest, we will go back to eat. By the way, Xier is pregnant now. She just drank the sour water made by mother. I will bring her here for a walk to help digest it." Uncle Wu told Mrs. Mi happily.

"Oh, that's really hard work, Xier. You saved us mother and daughter today while being pregnant. When I get better, I will thank you very much. Are you and the baby okay?" After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked Yang Mingxi up and down carefully.

"I'll take care of Xie Xier, you should have a good rest!" said Uncle Wu.

"No, your thanks are yours, and my thanks are mine, right, Xier." Mi said stubbornly.

Yang Mingxi looked at the couple going back and forth in front of her, and said with a smile: "Of course, after all, one of you is my aunt and the other is my uncle. But, as my elder sister, I'm helping my younger sister, and you still have to thank me. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"It's not bad, thank you!" the couple said in unison.

"Okay, I've received your thanks, but I don't need anything else. Just take good care of your little sister! Children are our hope for the future!" Yang Mingxi said as she stepped forward and touched the baby.

"Yes, children are the hope of the future, so we must all look forward. Let the past be the past, Sixth Brother." Mi looked at her man and said firmly.

Uncle Wu understood what Mrs. Mi said, nodded, turned and left the room.

"I'm sorry, auntie, but now mother and daughter are safe, it's all worth it." Yang Mingxi looked at Mi and said with a smile.

"Don't feel wronged. My daughter is safe, and I'm fine too. Everything is fine. Go eat. You must be tired." Mrs. Mi pointed outside the door.

Yang Mingxi nodded, turned around and walked out the door, closing it behind her.

It was completely dark outside, but Yang Mingxi felt that she could see everything around her clearly, just like in the daytime. It was magical.

Uncle Wu came over with a lit torch and said, "Come on, Xier, go back and eat, otherwise your grandma and the others will be waiting anxiously."

Yang Mingxi was in front, and Uncle Wu was half a meter behind her, carefully lighting the way for Yang Mingxi with a torch.

What Yang Mingxi didn't know was that in the days that followed, Uncle Wu did the same thing, always protecting Yang Mingxi and playing a very important role.

The uncle and nephew walked slowly into the dining room and saw that the entire Wu family was still sitting around the table, chatting and laughing.

The dishes on the table were all covered tightly with bowls. It was obvious that no one had started eating yet, as if they were waiting for something.

Wu was the first to notice Yang Mingxi's return. A friendly smile spread across her face. She quickly stood up and walked forward to greet her, softly asking, "You're back, Xier. Are you hungry? Come over and have something to eat."

Yang Mingxi walked quickly to Mrs. Wu, turned her gaze to her grandparents, and said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, why are you waiting for me? You can eat first! I'm not hungry, but you've been hungry for so long, you must be starving."

After saying that, Yang Mingxi turned around and gently took Wu's hand, saying coquettishly, "Mom, do you know? Grandma's sour water is amazing! I feel like my appetite has been opened up, and I really want to eat meat!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's smile grew even brighter. She gently touched Yang Mingxi's head and said, "Okay, then you should eat more meat and keep your body healthy."

At this time, Uncle Wu saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, holding Old Lady Wu's arm, and said softly: "Mom, let's not dawdle any longer, let's eat quickly, everyone is hungry."

As he spoke, he carefully helped Old Mrs. Wu to sit down at the dining table.

Everyone took their seats and finally began to enjoy this late dinner.
