Chapter 9: Handkerchief Friends
Li Rulan put down the bowl, then picked up the needle and thread and began to work.
"Niannian is a girl, can't let her wear those stinky boys' clothes, right? We don't have any extra fabric, so I'll cut my clothes apart and make a few clothes for Niannian. ”
"But this clothes ......" Shen Zhengwen opened his mouth to say something, his eyes were full of guilt.
This dress is embroidered with a begonia pattern, a light pink color, and the material is also of high quality, it is Li Rulan's favorite piece of clothing, and she is reluctant to wear it on weekdays, for fear of washing it out.
Now, he took it out and cut it into fabric for Xiao Niannian to make clothes.
Li Rulan seemed to know what Shen Zhengwen was thinking, and explained with a smile: "The color of this dress is too tender, and it is not suitable for me to wear it at my current age, so it is better to make a few clothes for us Niannian." ”
Shen Zhengwen felt a little bitter in his heart, blaming himself for not letting his family live a good life.
However, on the face, he still quipped: "Sure enough, having a daughter is different." Those stinky boys in our family haven't worn new clothes in years. A piece of clothing, the eldest wears the second one, the second one wears the third one, and when it comes to the fourth and fifth children, the patches and stacks of old highs are about to become our family heirlooms. ”
"And me." Li Rulan glanced at him, "Don't think I don't know what you've been messing around in the yard for the past two days." ”
In the past two days, Shen Zhengwen used a fish to find someone to exchange for a big tree, and made a cradle for Xiao Niannian in the yard against the cold wind.
Li Rulan said angrily: "The cradle used when the dumplings were born are all worn, and you always shirk when I ask you to make a new one, but now that the thought is coming, you have taken the initiative to do it." ”
"The stinky boys can make do with the old ones, let's miss it!" There was still a faint pride in Shen Zhengwen's tone, and he walked up to Xiao Niannian and kissed her little face. "Our family misses it, but it's a little lucky star."
Xiao Niannian waved her little hands in protest, Daddy, your beard is too prickly!
At this moment, Huzi ran back with his younger brothers again, with a few friends of the same age behind him.
He brought those friends to Xiao Niannian's side, and Shen Zhengwen was forced to squeeze into the corner.
Huzi pointed at Xiao Niannian and said with an arrogant face: "I'm not bragging, come and see, is my sister the best-looking sister in the world?" ”
"I want to see, I want to see!"
"I'm going to see it too!"
For a while, four or five little heads stretched out above Xiao Niannian and looked at her curiously.
A little girl with chilblains on her face said enviously: "Huzi, your sister's face is so white and beautiful, doesn't she have chilblains?" ”
The corners of Xiao Niannian's mouth twitched, should she have chilblains?
Someone stretched out his little hand and poked Xiao Niannian's face, exclaiming, "Wow! Her face is so tender, like my grandfather's freshly cooked tofu brain. ”
Well? Tofu brain? The little thoughts that were originally lacking in interest were instantly activated.
Thinking of Bai Huahua's sweet tofu brain, her saliva flowed.
"Oops! She's drooling! ”
"Wow, she's so cute to drool!"
"What is this?" Huzi stood in the middle of the children, like a proud rooster, "My sister is the cutest when she laughs." ”
Saying that, he leaned forward again, and said to Xiao Niannian: "Come, sister, smile and show them!" ”
Xiao Niannian grinned and showed a standard smirk, and the pink tooth flower was particularly dazzling.
Although it was forced to open, no matter how you say it, you can't let your brother lose face, right?
Her smile immediately made the children boil.
"Wow! That's so cute, isn't it? ”
"Can I hug her?"
"I'm going to hug it too! I'm going to hug it too! ”
"No, no, no!" Huzi hurriedly stopped the fanatical fans who wanted to hug Xiao Niannian, "My mother said, my sister is too young to hug her, let's hug you when she grows up." ”
The children all showed disappointed expressions, and Huzi proudly pestled the boy standing beside him with his hand, "How about the big cow?" My sister is cuter and prettier than yours, isn't she? ”
Shen Zhengwen and Li Rulan laughed with the children, and the couple looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw happiness in each other's eyes.
Da Niu glanced at Xiao Niannian, although he was also cute, he didn't want to admit this fact, so he tilted his head to the side unconvinced.
"What's the use of being cute and pretty, isn't it just a little kid."
"You!" Huzi was a little angry, and wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.
"That's it! It's just a little kid, what's the use of being cute and beautiful? Just then, a woman in a lake blue skirt walked in.
The woman's face is beautiful, combed with the fashionable fallen horse bun, and only decorated with a royal blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin.
Her clothes are not very gorgeous, but she has a powerful aura that is difficult to ignore, which makes the children who were originally chattering consciously quiet.
"It's not just a girl, but it's also worth being a treasure." The woman continued, with a hint of sarcasm and helplessness in her tone.
"Haven't you heard a word? Troublesome face, too good-looking woman, will invite trouble. ”
When Li Rulan heard this, she looked at the person, not only did she not get angry, but she showed a surprised smile.
"Ziyi, didn't you go to Kyoto to visit relatives? When did you come back? I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're still so unforgiving. ”
The person who came was her only handkerchief friend Sheng Ziyi, the two have known each other for more than ten years, and their relationship is very good.
Sheng Ziyi walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, sighing slightly.
"I wanted to rush back before you gave birth, but I was still a step too late. Now that I see that your mother and daughter are safe, my heart can be considered to be on the ground. ”
Shen Zhengwen saluted Sheng Ziyi and said with interest: "You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, you must have a lot to say, then I'll go out first." ”
With that, he walked out with the children.
Sheng Ziyi rolled her eyes at Shen Zhengwen's back, and reached out to caress Li Rulan's pale cheek in distress.
"Look at you, you're all so thin. I really don't know that I feel sorry for my body at all, I have given birth to five children, and I have to give birth again, and you don't look at what your family has become poor, and you are not afraid that you can't afford to raise it at all. ”
The more Sheng Ziyi spoke, the more angry he became, "And that surnamed Shen abducted you to such a poor country, and he didn't know that he felt sorry for you, and he didn't know that Nu worked hard to make you live a good life." ”
"Okay, Ziyi." Li Rulan smiled helplessly, her eyes full of warmth.
"Although the days are a little harder, the days with Wenlang are the happiest time in my life, even if I follow him to eat bran for the rest of my life, I am willing to eat it."
"Alright, alright, I see." Sheng Ziyi shook her body, "I heard that my goosebumps fell to the ground." ”
"But what those kids said is true, your daughter is really good-looking." She looked at Xiao Niannian in her swaddling clothes, and there was a rare tenderness in her eyes, "You have always been looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, but now you are looking forward to it." ”
Xiao Niannian didn't buy it and rolled her eyes.
This change of face is too fast, right, who said that the red face is in trouble?
"Yo he!" Sheng Ziyi exclaimed, as if she had discovered a new world, "This girl, she will roll her eyes at such a young age!" ”
