Chapter 170: How Good It Would Be to Be My Mother
But as soon as Xu Zhongjun approached, the two people in the corner of the wall immediately began to tremble, and their hands moved forward to protect their faces and heads, while begging for mercy in a low voice: "Don't beat me, grandma, don't beat me, I won't eat dumplings, don't beat me!" ”
At this time, Xie Xiaonian also saw clearly who the two were, they saw it when they ate pig-killing dishes before, the two daughters of Xu Laofu's second son's family, Sanya and Siya.
may be because she is pregnant, Xie Xiaonian, who was already soft-hearted, has a softer heart.
Seeing that the two little girls were wearing torn cotton jackets, and their faces were swollen high, they were begging for mercy uneasily, and tears flowed down at once.
Xie Xiaonian wiped away her tears, hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down and said gently: "Sanya, Siya, don't be afraid, it's not your grandma who came, and no one beat you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" ”
It may be that Xie Xiaonian's voice is more gentle, or it may be that seeing that he really hasn't been beaten, the two gradually put down the arm in front of them, and they no longer tremble, but they still looked at Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun defensively.
Xie Xiaonian saw that the two of them were not as excited as just now, and said with a smile: "When did you come here, this is not close to your production team, and why are you hiding here and not going home?" ”
The two of them, who were originally slightly better, couldn't help but shrink their bodies when they heard Xie Xiaonian say the word "go home", and they were affectionate and obviously afraid.
"It's okay, if you don't want to say it, you can stop saying it, have you eaten?" Xie Xiaonian saw that the two of them were a little scared again, so he hurriedly said.
After the eldest Sanya looked at Xie Xiaonian and the two, she said carefully: "No, for the New Year, Siya wants to eat dumplings, but the milk doesn't let her, the eldest sister stole one when she was washing the dishes, and was found by the milk, and wanted to beat the four of us, the eldest sister and the second sister let the two of us run out, it was dark, and we didn't know where it was, so we came here." Let's go now, let's go now. ”
"I didn't mean to drive you away, haven't you eaten yet? Do you want to go to your aunt's house to eat, your aunt's house has dumplings. Xie Xiaonian held back the tears that were about to fall again, touched Sanya's head and said gently.
"Don't eat, don't eat, we don't eat dumplings." Sanya obviously has a shadow on the dumplings, and after listening to it, he quickly shook his head and said with Siya.
But Siya was still young, and when she heard that she could eat dumplings, she had forgotten about the beating, and looked at Xie Xiaonian with bright eyes, with a look of anticipation.
"Have you not eaten since midnight, if you don't eat, your sister will eat too, isn't it, don't be afraid, follow your aunt and go to your aunt's house to eat dumplings!" After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he was about to pull them up.
But the two children had been shrinking in the corner for too long, and with the hunger and cold, the two of them had frozen, and their legs could not be used at all, and they did not stand up several times.
"It's okay, take your time, let's move first." After speaking, Xie Xiaonian gently helped the two of them rub their legs.
Sanya looked at the gentle and beautiful person in front of her, and the rest of the apprehension was gone, she had grown so big, it was the first time that someone had been so gentle to her.
Although her parents and sister were also very kind to her, they were very busy, and they were either beaten or scolded all day long, and they had never been so attentive and gentle.
The little Sanya thought longingly: "How nice it would be if this were my mother!" ”
"Alright, stand up and take a walk!" Xie Xiaonian rubbed it for a while, then said encouragingly.
After all, Sanya is 8 years old, and she recovers relatively quickly, and she can stand up and go, but Siya is extremely malnourished, and her calves are as thin as firewood, so she can only move slowly.
Xie Xiaonian was not in a hurry, without any urging, he stood aside and watched with a smile.
Then he said to Xu Zhongjun: "There is hot water in the thermos, you go home and make dumplings first!" ”
Now that Xu Zhongjun is at home, there are no dumplings left at noon, so he can only let Xu Zhongjun cook a bowl again.
Although Sanya felt very embarrassed, after looking at Siya's thin body, she didn't say anything to refuse.
By the time Xie Xiaonian led the two of them home, Xu Zhongjun had already cooked the dumplings and was icing the bowl with cold water in the yard to make the dumplings cool quickly.
Xie Xiaonian didn't expect Xu Zhongjun to be so careful, knowing that the two children would be in a hurry, and he also gave them cold food in advance, saving them from burning.
Although the two children were looking at the dumplings in the bowl from the moment they entered the yard, Xie Xiaonian did not let them eat immediately, but said softly: "The dumplings are still hot, they will burn their mouths, let's wash our hands first!" ”
After speaking, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun: "Zhongjun, you give them two a basin of hot water to wash their hands, and I will go into the house and get some chilblain cream." ”
Because the original owner would freeze his hands every year a few years ago, Xie Xiaonian made a lot of chilblain cream in advance, but she didn't use it this year, so she could give it to these two little girls.
Thinking that their two sisters would do so much work every day, they would definitely have frostbite on their hands, so they took the two largest boxes out of the space.
"You can apply this ointment every day after washing your hands, and after a while, the frostbite on your hands will be cured, and if you run out, you will come to your aunt, who has made a lot of it, and there are many more." Xie Xiaonian sat on the kang and instructed while applying ointment to the two of them.
"Can you wipe the ones on your feet?" Sanya asked in a low voice.
"Yes, do you have them on your feet, come, let me see." After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he was ready to take off the shoes of the two of them.
"We don't, my eldest sister and mother have it."
"Then you take the ointment back, and let your eldest sister apply it at night, this ointment is very effective, and the orchid lady's hands are smeared with this ointment." Xie Xiaonian handed the ointment to Sanya and asked her to put it away.
"Uh-huh!" Sanya carefully put the two boxes in her pocket, and prepared to let the eldest sister wipe them when she got home later, so that the eldest sister's hands and feet would not always be itchy and painful, and they would often bleed.
"Okay, the dumplings are ready to eat, let's eat!" Xie Xiaonian took the dumplings in Xu Zhongjun's hand and sat on the edge of the kang, ready to feed the two children.
"Auntie, we will eat it ourselves, we don't need to feed it." Sanya said with a red face.
"Okay, then I'll get you another bowl, and you can eat it yourself on the table!"
Because Siya is still young, and she can't eat too much at once, Xie Xiaonian put 3 leek eggs and 3 pork and mushroom dumplings in her bowl, and put the rest in front of Sanya.
But Sanya didn't immediately take the dumplings into her mouth like Siya, but said cautiously: "Auntie, I'll just eat two, can I take the rest home, the eldest sister and the second sister have never eaten dumplings!" ”
"You can eat it, there are still a lot of them at home, and my aunt will get you some steamed dumplings later, so they won't rot, so I can bring them, and my aunt will put some back for you later." Xie Xiaonian looked at such a sensible Sanya and said with a smile.
It is said that motherhood is just, but Sanya's parents can't even protect such a young child, from beginning to end, no matter what she does, Sanya just thought of her two sisters, never said about their parents, it can be seen that at home, it's just that their four sisters huddle together for warmth and depend on each other, and I don't know if Sanya's parents will regret their weakness and nest in the future.
Because it is the Chinese New Year, there may be people who come to the door, so the water in the thermos does not add space well water, although there are some added to the dough, but it is relatively small, although the bodies of the two are weak, but they will not be unbearable.
After seeing that the two children ate very well and would not spill it, Xie Xiaonian said: "You eat slowly here, I'll go out, Sanya don't give the dumplings to Siya, do you know, she is too young, she can't eat too much suddenly, she will have a stomachache." ”
"Well, okay, auntie, go get busy."
When Xie Xiaonian arrived in the kitchen, he found that Xu Zhongjun was steaming dumplings on the fire, and the two of them really had a good heart, Xie Xiaonian said a word, and Xu Zhongjun knew what to do.
"It's all because I'm so tired in the morning that I didn't notice the two sisters, otherwise they wouldn't have had to freeze all morning." Xie Xiaonian sat down beside Xu Zhongjun and said reproachfully.
"I don't blame you for that, it was still a little dark when we came back, didn't I not notice? Thankfully, nothing happened! Xu Zhongjun hugged Xie Xiaonian and comforted.
Sanya and Siya should have fallen asleep in the morning, otherwise even if there was a little movement, they would not have escaped his ears.
"I don't know how their parents behaved, such a young child, I haven't been outside for so long, I don't know how to look for it, if my child doesn't see 1 minute, I can go crazy." Xie Xiaonian remembered the pitiful appearance of the two children, and said angrily.
"That's right, not everyone is a good mother like my daughter-in-law." Seeing that Xie Xiaonian was so angry, Xu Zhongjun hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said.
"Just your poor mouth" After listening to Xu Zhongjun's words, Xie Xiaonian was also a little angry.
"His parents are already like that, it's useless for you to be angry, if you really pity them, take care of them often in the future, and help them from time to time." Xu Zhongjun came up with an idea.
"That's all it can do for now." Xie Xiaonian said with a sigh.
When Xie Xiaonian steamed the dumplings, Sanya and Siya also finished eating and came to the kitchen with empty bowls.
"Auntie, where are we going to wash the dishes after we finish eating?"
"Give it to me, I'll brush it later!" Xie Xiaonian couldn't bear to let a child of a few years old wash the dishes.
"I often brush the dishes at home, I make sure that I can brush it very cleanly, auntie, you just let me brush it!" Sanya said insistically.
Xie Xiaonian saw her appearance, so she agreed, let Sanya do some work, and she could feel more at ease.
So Xie Xiaonian hurriedly mixed a basin of warm water and brought it to the door and said, "Let's wash it here." ”
"Huh? Why don't you wash it? Xie Xiaonian saw Sanya, who had just insisted on washing the dishes, standing there crampedly, and asked suspiciously.
