The second brother Xie Wu passed away a year ago, and the second sister-in-law has remarried to another county, leaving a seven-year-old niece Xie Bitao, who lives with her grandparents, that is, she lives with Xie Han and Yuan Qiuhua, and repeats the second grade in the village primary school.

Before marriage, Xie Han took Xie Bitao to see Yuan Qiuhua, and when she heard about her niece's life experience, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yuan Qiuhua's younger brother and daughter-in-law unfortunately died on the operating table three years ago, leaving behind two children less than eight months old, still twins. Yuan's father wants to go to work, Yuan's brother wants to earn money to raise children, Yuan Mei is married and wants to take care of her own children, and Yuan's mother can't take care of it alone, so she complains to Yuan Qiuhua. Yuan Qiuhua resigned due to personal matters, recuperated in a rented house in Guangzhou, and couldn't go home to help his mother, so he sent money home and asked him to hire a nanny. Two small mouths to eat and drink, milk money alone costs 2,000 a month, Yuan's mother is thrifty, and would rather work hard than spend money on a nanny. Twins want to eat together, pull and pull at the same time, wake up and sleep synchronously, cry and cry at the same time, and get sick is also the same, a person with a pair of hands, even if the hands are flustered and non-stop, they can't take care of it at all. Yuan Qiuhua called home and heard that his mother had lumbar muscle strain, hand and foot gout, and rheumatism was particularly serious, not only the muscles were numb, but the joints began to deform. She was worried that her mother would fall ill from overwork and be too tired, so she asked her mother to come to Guangzhou with her twins, and the mother and daughter took care of them together.

Guangzhou's consumption is high, and it is not easy to live at home, fortunately, the Lan family never charges rent in the Lan family apartment she rents, fortunately, Yuhua Company is also on the right track, fortunately, Xiao Lizi also gives living expenses on a monthly basis, fortunately, she can take over the advertising copywriting and plan at home, and life is not embarrassing. In the blink of an eye, it is time for my niece to go to kindergarten, and then it is time to go to elementary school. It is not easy for outsiders to live in Guangzhou, and it is even more difficult to want their children to go to school nearby. Even if you can enroll, you will have to go back to the place where your household registration is located to take the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in the future. In addition, the private matter that led to Yuan Qiuhua's resignation has also been properly resolved, and the Lan family transferred the apartment she rented to her name (the house price was less than 3,000 per square meter that year, and five years later, it increased fivefold, rising to 15,000 per square meter, and the house value reached one million), and also transferred the studio of Lan Yan (that is, Lan Huolian's brother) next door to her name. Yuan Qiuhua moved the daily necessities into the studio, filled in the blanks in the apartment, and entrusted the Lan family to rent it out, and the mother and daughter took the twins back to their home in the county seat. After the two nieces went to kindergarten, Yuan Qiuhua freed up his body and mind, used his personal savings as funds, invested in a landscaping company, and went to Xie Hejia to rent land to plant seedlings and continue to do business.

A child without a mother is particularly pitiful and miserable when he thinks about it. Yuan Qiuhua took care of the two nieces day and night, and they were inseparable, and when they heard other children calling for their mother, they also called Yuan Qiuhua's mother. Yuan Qiuhua told them that they should call their aunt for the exam. The child didn't understand the difference between the identity of his aunt and his mother, and he still called Yuan Qiuhua's mother, and every time he shouted, Yuan Qiuhua was sad, painful, and soft.

Xie Bitao said "third mother", and also shouted that Yuan Qiuhua's heart was sour and sore, and she bought Xie Bitao a new set of clothes as a meeting gift like she treated her niece. When her niece and nephew were clamoring to go to McDonald's, or Wallace, or KFC, or Pizza Hut for dinner, Yuan Qiuhua always forgot to bring Xie Bitao and let her enjoy a happy childhood together.

After getting married, Yuan Qiuhua bought shampoo, shower gel, down jacket, woolen pants, cotton underwear, scarves, hats, shoes and socks and other daily necessities for Xie Bitao. Stationery, supplementary reading materials, Xie Bitao said what she wanted, Yuan Qiuhua bought her anything, a repeater of a few hundred yuan, and paid out of pocket without even blinking an eye.

I ran to complain to my grandmother: As soon as my mother got married and became an aunt, she changed her mind and stopped caring for us!

Mother Yuan said: When your aunt gets married, you two will have an uncle, and you two will become your uncle's niece, and in the same way, your uncle's niece will also become your aunt's niece, and your aunt and uncle will all love you the same!

The twins said: No. Repeater, my aunt bought it for my big sister, but she didn't buy it for us!

Yuan's mother said: You don't have a mother, and you still have a father! Repeater, you can ask your father. The eldest sister has no mother and no father, and if her aunt doesn't buy it for her, she won't have it. If you want food and clothing, you can still find your father, and which one can you find for your big sister? If you meet someone with a good heart, you will send a few money, and if you meet a cold-blooded person, you will beat and scold, and if you are unlucky, you will be thrown out of the door. Is the big sister more guilty than you?

The twins said: We have a father, the big sister is more pitiful than us, and the aunt is for her to be a mother!

Before the engagement, Yuan Qiuhua was in the boudoir, although he was unmarried, but he was called his mother by the two nieces and nephews, and people who didn't know the inside story had a lot of misunderstandings, and Yuan Qiuhua was also embarrassed many times. After the engagement, in order to avoid similar plots, especially to avoid the misunderstanding of relatives and friends in the in-law's family, Yuan's mother used candy and guidance to induce the twins to change their words, calling their aunt to have lollipops to eat, and calling their mother to stare dryly, and it was useless to drool. Within a week, they changed their words, and occasionally shouted the wrong thing, but before others could react, they themselves found out first, stuck out their tongues, made faces, and quickly ran away.

A few years ago, Yuan Qiuhua and Xie Han went to the street to buy New Year's goods, and they were ready to give Xie Bitao a new outfit inside and out. There are too many people visiting the store, the merchants have raised the price too high, and the two of them are carrying large bags of New Year's goods, which is really tiring. Xie Han suggested that on the day of the Chinese New Year, after eating lunch, he would take her to the street to buy, first, there were fewer people, second, the price was low, third, she herself tried it on to fit better, and fourth, she liked whichever she wanted, she would buy whichever she wanted, and if she wanted to buy a few pieces, she would buy a few. She is pitiful, we have spent a lot of money, I don't care about these little money, no matter how hard we are, we can't be bitter to the children, no matter how sloppy we are, we can't snub our nieces, what a sin! Yuan Qiuhua thought about it and agreed.

On the day of the New Year, when eating lunch, Xie Bitao sat in the corner of the stove and wiped her tears, crying and crying, refusing to eat at the table.

Xiao Lin said: There are no new clothes to wear during the New Year, she is angry.

Xie Qingquan said: Don't look at me, I haven't taken care of money from beginning to end. I don't have a penny on hand, and I think I can't do it.

Gong Magpie said: Don't look at me, sixty doesn't care about the affairs of the yang world, I can't even take out any grandson's New Year's money.

Xie Han said: The gift money received when I got married, the third sister moved to a new house, I gave a thousand, and the eldest nephew got married, I gave another thousand, and I did New Year's goods and New Year's gifts, the money has already been overspent, and I am in debt!

Shu Zhiqiang said: What are you afraid of with hundreds of debts? Your wife has money! Pluck your hair and be thicker than your thighs. You blow the wind on the pillow, after the New Year, let me go to my brother-in-law's restaurant as a purchase!

Yuan Qiuhua said: Lan Huolian said that the seafood restaurant belongs to her brother, and it has nothing to do with me. I'm really sorry, second brother-in-law, I can't help, I'm sorry, you.

Xie Xiong said: Does it matter? This is a secret, and it cannot be said, everyone understands it in their hearts, pretends to be confused, and saves face.

Yuan Qiuhua said: Why did you marry Xie Han? There are also secrets hidden in it, and I know it better.

Ma Huilan said: What kind of dumb riddle are you playing? Why don't I understand?

Xie Qingquan said: Mo Duoyan, recruit right and wrong, you all use chopsticks to eat. There are red carp, pig's head meat, osmanthus rice cakes, glutinous rice wine, everyone eats and drinks enough, and they can play as much as they want.

Xie Han said: Bi Tao, good, come and have New Year's dinner! Oh, Qiu Huaha, add her a bowl of potato flour.

Gong Magpie said: Let's eat, don't care about her, if you don't eat, you're not hungry! Learn to pick the hour, deliberately sweep the elders' interest, so ignorant, and still pamper her?

Xie Ying said: New clothes, didn't the third mother change them for her from the inside to the outside? It's only been a few days, and it's just a New Year's dress when it's washed, so why spend money to buy another one? What kind of life is it, I don't have to count it in my heart, and I still pick and choose!

Xiao Lin said: Little cabbage, yellow in the ground, no mother's child, like a grass!

Ma Huilan said: That's it, I'd rather die as an official's father than my mother who begs for rice.

Gong Magpie said: Her mother is not dead, her mother only cares about her own pleasure, she is a burden, a burden, and she doesn't want her.

Xie Jiayan said: During the Chinese New Year, I cried and mourned, I miss your mother?

Xie Han said: Her mother is not around, but you are the fourth mother, the fifth mother, and the second aunt, wow, why do you speak so viciously?

Xie Xiong said: You are kind-hearted, you pity, you like, you think it is out, you will raise her, I have no opinion.

Yuan Qiuhua returned to the new house, took out 200 yuan from his pre-marriage money, and then returned to the ancestral house and handed it over to Xie Bitao: This is the money that the third mother bought you New Year's clothes, and after eating, let the third father take you to the street to buy it.

After taking the money, Xie Bitao burst into tears and smiled, and went to the table for New Year's dinner.

In the evening, when the New Year's money was pressed, Yuan Qiuhua added another 100 yuan to her.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Qiuhua added another 100 yuan red envelope for her New Year.

Xie Bitao is not bad, when she signed up for school, she took the initiative to take out the New Year's money and New Year's red envelopes, paid the tuition herself, and did not ask Xie Han for expenses.
