The main problem was that the more the child fussed, the more difficult it became, and it looked like he couldn't eat with just one hand.

She was about to get off the table when her mother-in-law unexpectedly offered to help her hold the baby.

This is something that has never happened before.

I was surprised because I hadn't thought about it.

But Gu Jin had already opened her arms, gesturing for her to "bring her closer."

Zhang Fen glanced at her husband and then took the child.

The other two daughters-in-law of the Xu family also looked at their mother-in-law, both with surprised expressions.

Something's been off since this evening.

When the old lady came back today, she actually took a winnowing basket and started preparing dinner.

Although the eldest and second daughters-in-law mostly took care of dinner, the old lady actually went into the kitchen on her own initiative, even though all her daughters-in-law were home.

This is already quite surprising.

Unexpectedly, she would let her daughter-in-law eat first while she took care of the child herself.

Although Zhang Fen didn't know what her mother-in-law was up to, she still handed the child to her mother-in-law.

Although Gu Jin is the grandmother, in order to treat everyone fairly and to avoid being burdened, she rarely takes care of her grandchildren.

Because she rarely takes care of the child, the normally fussy child becomes quiet in her arms.

All eyes were on her.

Gu Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable and snapped, "Eat, eat."

She started eating while holding her child in one arm, and everyone else followed suit.

After dinner, Xu Huaishan asked Gu Jin, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Gu Jin said irritably, "You're the one who took the wrong medicine."

Xu Huaishan was rebuffed and didn't want to ask any more questions. He soaked his feet, then lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Previously, Gu Jin had always poured his foot bath water.

This time, Gu Jin didn't fall asleep either; Xu Huaishan was asleep, and so was she.

Xu Zhongguo and his men helped Luo Qiao and Luo Tian build the stove they were going to build.

They didn't have any pots, pans, or other kitchenware, so they had to buy them themselves.

We finished building the stove too late yesterday and didn't have time to add anything else.

So early the next morning, Luo Tian led Luo Qiao out to town.

There's a larger supply and marketing cooperative in town, bigger than the one in their commune, and it sells a wider variety of goods. They're going to buy things there.

In the early winter morning, dew covered everything. Luo Qiao hadn't walked far before her cloth shoes were soaked with dew. Luo Qiao was extremely annoyed. "How long am I going to walk like this?"

As she was complaining, a bell rang behind her.

Luo Tian pulled her to the side of the road to make way, and then Luo Qiao turned her head and saw Lin Jingshen riding a bicycle toward them.

Then, without thinking, Luo Qiao blocked the middle of the road.

She suddenly darted out from the roadside, startling Lin Jingshen.

The car lurched several times before finally coming to a stop, avoiding her. Lin Jiaojiao, sitting in the back seat of Lin Jingshen's car, clung tightly to his clothes to avoid falling off.

Gu Shuhe's bicycle almost fell over.

They were either at school or at work today, so they all went out together.

Faced with Luo Qiao's sudden behavior, the three people were puzzled and glared at each other angrily.

Especially Lin Jiaojiao, who is still young and doesn't know how to hide things. She still remembers the fight between Luo Qiao and Chi Yue the day before yesterday, so she couldn't help but ask, "Luo Zhiqing, what are you doing?"

"Are you trying to kill us?"

Luo Qiao was yelled at by Lin Jiaojiao, and although she really wanted to hit her, she held back. "No, I wanted to ask if you're going to town?"

"Can you take us with you?"

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the two of them and thought Luo Qiao was incredibly stupid. She pointed to the two bicycles, then to Luo Qiao and Luo Tian, ​​and asked, "How are you going to get them?"

Luo Qiao pointed to the back seat of Gu Shuhe's bicycle.

“You can only bring one!” Lin Jiaojiao said.

Luo Qiao immediately said, "Tian Tian and I can ride on your brother's bicycle."

“I can sit in the front. I’m not heavy. I can sit on the crossbar.” She said this with a shy smile on her face.

Lin Jingshen "..."

Is he the donkey that the production team keeps for hauling goods?

Can it haul any kind of cargo?

Lin Jingshen naturally objected.

Lin Jingshen steadied the car, stepped on the pedals, and called to Lin Jiaojiao, "Get in the car, let's go."

Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to say anything anymore and quickly jumped into the car.

Gu Shuhe followed, and the three of them soon disappeared from sight on their bikes.

"Hey, hey..." No matter how much Luo Qiao said "hey," Lin Jingshen didn't stop his bicycle.

Luo Qiao was so angry that she stomped her feet and cursed, "What kind of stinky straight man is this!"

Luo Tian couldn't understand her words, but she still tried to persuade her, "Luo Qiao, what you just did was too dangerous?"

"Whether it's for you or for Comrade Lin."

Luo Qiao gave Luo Tian a disapproving look, then told her, "You don't understand!"

Luo Tian "..."

She really doesn't understand.

Unable to flag down a car, the two had to walk, taking more than an hour until they reached the town as the sun rose high in the sky.

Luo Qiao kept complaining that her legs were about to break.

Luo Tian could only say, "Let me treat you to something to eat," and then the two went to a state-run restaurant.

Meanwhile, Wen Tang and Chi Yue were still fast asleep in their blankets.

No outsiders came to the house, and the courtyard was quiet. Wen Tang slept until Gu Yanli returned from fishing, but she still hadn't woken up.

When Gu Yanli returned and saw that Wen Tang was not in the courtyard, he asked, "Haven't you gotten up yet?"

Zhong Meixian, sitting under the courtyard wall, chuckled softly without saying a word, but her expression made it very clear.

Zhong Meixian was mocking him.

But Gu Yanli was completely oblivious to the ridicule. Instead, he washed his hands and said happily, "Perfect, I can heat up her food."

"Whoosh!" Just as Gu Yanli finished speaking, the insoles that Zhong Meixian was sewing came straight at his face.

Gu Yanli easily caught it with his hand, and then returned it to Zhong Meixian.

Zhong Meixian was so angry she wanted to prick him with a needle.

The old lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that Wen Tang might hear her when he got up.

So all she could do was grit her teeth and ask in a low voice, "You're his son?"

"Look at you, you're not even this filial to your own mother."

Gu Yanli smiled, stating matter-of-factly, "She gave birth to my son."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Yes, it's perfect, it's flawless!

Enraged, Zhong Meixian said directly, "Fine, fine, you serve her well, and tomorrow she'll give you ten or eight sons."

Gu Yanli wasn't in a hurry at all and replied directly, "Okay, I'll bring them all for you."

Zhong Meixian "..."

What a terrible thing she did! How could she have given birth to such a thing?

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Zhong Meixian was gazing at the sky in silence when she suddenly heard Wen Tang's voice.

Zhong Meixian: Good heavens, thank goodness she didn't speak loudly, otherwise...

"No, I didn't say anything. You're up? The food's in the pot. Let Yanli heat it up for you."

Gu Yanli did not refute these words and went to heat up his food.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue had just started eating breakfast when Gu Xiaogu, who had been scared away yesterday, arrived again.

She stood at the door, still feeling embarrassed, until Gu Yanli asked, "Auntie, you're here. Why don't you come in?"

Gu Jin then awkwardly entered the room.

Zhong Meixian immediately noticed something was wrong with Gu Jin's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did you get angry with your daughter-in-law?"

Gu Jin shook her head.
