At that time, she only knew that her surname was Li, and others called her a girl, but it was Brother Yongning who picked her up and named her Xiao Ran.
She still remembered that her husband was just a little boy six years older than her at that time, half-squatting in front of her, and gently told herself, "In the future, you will be called Li Xiaoran, the rising sun." β
Thinking of her husband, her heart ached, and tears rolled down uncontrollably, the young man who gently held her hand and cooked for herself when she had nothing to do, the one who was favored by the National Security Bureau, but she had to take home with her, and the husband who was in danger of blocking her in front of her, she would never see her again.
"Ran'er, what's wrong with you? Isn't there something uncomfortable? Fu Shi and the others cleaned up the east wing, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw Li Xiaoran sitting on the kang and crying sadly, the sadness and despair in her eyes made Fu Shi's heart suddenly tighten, and he hugged her tightly in his arms and asked.
Li Xiaoran threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly, crying and shouting: "I can't go back, I can't go back, woo woo, brother, woo woo woo......"
The brother she called was naturally her husband Yongning in her previous life, she called him her brother since she was a child, and it wasn't until the two broke through the last layer of relationship that she changed her name to her husband, but when there were only two of them, she sometimes called him brother like she did when she was a child.
"Brother is here, is it my brother who upset you? Mother beat him, Ran Er watched, mother beat brother, let brother provoke us. Fu Shi said and pretended to be angry and slapped Li Xuesi twice.
Li Xuesi felt that he was very wronged, he was teasing his sister, who knew that she would cry, he pouted and looked at her pitifully, Li Xiaoran felt very embarrassed after crying, such a big person, I cried several times a day today, and I was so tired that such a young child was wronged.
She reached out to pull Li Xuesi's little hand, "Brother-", listening to her sister's soft and glutinous voice, Li Xuesi's aggrieved heart instantly became complete, and her eyes widened, "Sister, I'm sorry, my brother is teasing you, my sister is very smart, not stupid at all." β
Listening to this crisp childish words, Li Xiaoran once again despised himself in his heart, even teasing a child, he really lived more and more roundabout.
"Okay, okay, these two children have a good relationship, the dragon and phoenix fetuses have feelings for each other in their hearts, brother and sister, don't be evil people here." Hua Shi smiled and joked to Fu Shi, "Brother and sister, come and eat a few pieces of snacks, I like to eat this before I go to bed at night, I have food in my stomach after eating, and I sleep deeply." β
This is a change of law to persuade Fu Shi to eat, and he is afraid that she will be embarrassed to accept it, Li Xiaoran is once again impressed by this cool woman in her heart. However, a piece of information revealed in these words made her very interested, it turned out that she and Li Xuesi were dragon and phoenix fetuses, but he was an elder brother and a younger sister.
Fu and Hua talked again, and seeing that it was not early, Fu got up and said goodbye: "Sister-in-law, it's not early, I'll take the children over to sleep first." You and Brother Ye should also rest earlier! β
"Okay, brother and sister, you're tired from the day, let's rest! These boys will stay and sleep with Zimo, Ran'er will sleep with her sister, there is no warmth in your room. Hua Shi remembered the worn-out bedding he had just seen, and frowned slightly: "The quilt has just been made at home, and the two new quilts, if the younger siblings don't dislike it, they will use it first." β
Fu Shi said with some trepidation: "It's enough to trouble my sister-in-law, how can I use my sister-in-law's futon again......" Li Xiaoran hugged Fu's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, I want a thick quilt, our quilt can freeze to death." He thanked Hua sweetly, "Ran'er thank you, Auntie." β
What she thought in her heart was that if there are more lions, she won't bite, and if she has more debts, she won't worry, the Ye family is so helpful to her family, and the two old quilts are pushed back and forth, which makes people feel that their mothers are childish, so it is better to take it happily, and the kindness of the Ye family will be repaid in the future.
Fu Shi said with some anxiety: "Sister-in-law, the child is young and ignorant......" "Don't say that, Ran'er is a good child." Brother and sister, didn't I say you, what is the relationship between your Yihe brothers and my family, you are so restrained and careful, we are all awkward, aren't we? If you want me to say, you can live here with peace of mind, and treat this as your own home, just like Ran'er! It's a pity, I will have a son, otherwise, the two of us will get married and give me your Ran'er as a daughter-in-law, and I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. "Hua's is fast-talking, but what he says is not annoying, which makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
Fu's moved eyes were a little red again, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but want to touch her forehead again, her mother's tears were too low, okay, her heart was still very warm, no matter what, this daughter was not inferior to several sons in her mother's heart, which was commendable in ancient patriarchal times.
"Ouch, brother and sister, it's not your sister-in-law who said you, you are also the mother of several children, you are strong as a mother, you have to be strong! If you are stronger, stronger, the children will also follow you to learn to be strong, our family, if the man is not strong, he will not be able to stand up for the household. If a woman is not strong, she will not be able to gain a foothold in her in-law's family in the future. For the sake of the child, brother and sister, you should change your temperament. β
The subtext of Hua's sentence is not to shed tears at every turn. You must know that in the family of the banker, tears are the least valuable.
"That's what my sister-in-law said." Fu Shi is very grateful, no one has ever told her this like this, she remembered her life experience, although she is not a young lady, but she is also a wealthy family, only because her father was killed, her brother was missing, and her mother was weak, so she was robbed of her family property by the clansmen, and she didn't even have a place to live, and she was exiled to this Qingshan Town.
If it weren't for meeting Brother Dahe, seeing her pitiful, helping her bury her dead mother, and marrying her home, she wouldn't even dare to think about what she would be like now.
"It's good that you understand, brother and sister, you have to remember that men are running around all day long to make a living, and women are at home with husbands and children, doing some housework. The children spend the longest time with us all day long. If you only blindly show weakness in case of trouble, will you not be able to stand up with your children? When I grew up, my temperament became soft, and I didn't know how to resist even if I was bullied. If you think about it carefully, is this what my sister-in-law said? β
These words were like an empowerment, which made Fu's confused heart shine through the light, guiding her in the direction of her future actions.
Li Xiaoran listened, and agreed very much in her heart, being a mother is strong, although Fu is weak, but today for this daughter, she has repeatedly refreshed her past actions, and it seems that there is still room for reform
