After dinner, Qin Jinlian went straight back to the family home.

Du Juan put away the dishes and chopsticks, and seeing that it was still early, she locked the door and took the big girl to prepare to go to Shen Mingzhu's house.

When passing downstairs, she specially went to tell Jia Yuemei, and the food was hot in the pot, so that Jia Yuemei was hungry to eat.

I don't know if I don't want to deal with it or if I'm angry, Jia Yuemei didn't squeak.

……

When Du Juan's mother and daughter arrived at Pei's house, Shen Mingzhu was having dinner with Pei Ziheng.

Tonight, Zhao Dafa invited a few fellow bosses to dinner, and also called Pei Yang.

Under the leadership of Pei Ziheng, Zhao Yun not only learns a lot of rules now, but also steadily improves his grades.

can make Zhao Dafa very happy, he took Pei Yang to expand some more contacts, which can be regarded as a feedback to the couple.

When Xiao Guoguo was lying in the cradle, she was holding a Barbie doll and playing happily.

Du Juan bent down and teased for a while, then picked up the person and went to the sofa.

The big girl stayed quietly by the sofa, staring at the Barbie doll in Xiao Guoguo's hand without blinking, and her little face was full of longing and envy.

For rural children, high-end toys like Barbie dolls are like expensive diamonds in the window, out of reach.

I don't know if I'm tired of playing, or if I understand the envious eyes of the big girl, Xiao Guoguo handed the Barbie doll to the big girl.

"Ahh

Xiao Guoguo can't speak, only makes sounds like ah-oh.

The eldest girl didn't understand, and she didn't understand Guoguo's intentions, so she could only retreat at a loss.

Du Juan has experience in taking children, and laughed and teased Xiao Guoguo, "Guoguo is going to give the doll to my sister to play with, right?" ”

"Ah~"

"Then I'll give the doll to my sister?"

Du Juan tried to take the Barbie doll in Xiao Guoguo's hand and handed it to her daughter.

The eldest girl was flattered and took it, carefully touched Barbie's hair, and immediately returned it to Xiao Guoguo.

It's satisfying to be able to touch her.

"Ahhh~"

Xiao Guoguo waved her thin white soft paw and continued to push Barbie in front of the big girl.

"Guoguo asked you to play for a while, and said thank you to Guoguo."

"Thank you, Guoguo."

Xiao Guoguo giggled, not knowing what she was laughing at.

Shen Mingzhu ate a good meal, put down his chopsticks and got up and walked towards the sofa.

When the eldest girl saw Shen Mingzhu coming, she subconsciously wanted to return the Barbie doll to Xiao Guoguo.

"My sister will play with you, so you can play." Shen Mingzhu said with a smile.

The big girl nodded with a red face, pursed her lips and continued to play with the Barbie doll in her hand, her movements were very careful, for fear of breaking it.

Du Juan hugged Xiao Guoguo while telling Shen Mingzhu about Jia Yuemei's anger and not eating.

“…… Mom went back to the family home after dinner, and she didn't go to coax Yuemei, and I came over and knocked on the door and ignored me, I don't know what it was for. ”

Shen Mingzhu didn't hide it, and told Du Juan about Qin Jinlian coming to her in the afternoon.

“…… I saw that she was idle day by day, so I asked my mother to find something to do for her, go back to the countryside to raise chickens, raise rabbits, and earn some milk powder money. ”

Du Juan said: "Isn't this good, why is she angry?" ”

"The human heart is insufficient."

Du Juan didn't say anything, lowered her head and teased Xiao Guoguo with her tongue, her eyebrows were full of love for the child.

After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Shen Mingzhu's beautiful white face, her face hesitant.

"Mingzhu, my mother told me something at dinner. She asked me if Chaobei and I wanted to have a second child. ”

Shen Mingzhu asked rhetorically, "Do you want to be born?" ”

Du Juan smiled bitterly, "The fine for overbirth is not light. ”

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu had a number in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, my family used to be poor and couldn't afford to give birth, but now the situation is different, if you and your eldest brother have ideas, you should make plans early."

"However, there are some things I have to say in front, you and I are both women, and we all know how difficult it is for women to survive in this world, no matter whether your second child is a man or a woman, you can't treat the eldest girl in the cold."

The big girl stopped playing with the doll and looked at the talking adult in a daze.

Although she was not yet five years old, she was precocious and could vaguely understand what adults were saying.

Mom is going to give her a younger sibling.

Du Juan pulled her daughter in front of her and seriously assured Shen Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, don't worry, no matter whether it is a son or a daughter in the future, I will never be partial, a bowl of water is even." ”

Shen Mingzhu was relieved, got up and took out the clothes she bought for the eldest girl.

A small red printed jacket, black corduroy cotton pants, and a pair of cotton shoes.

Such a winter coat can be regarded as a ceiling in the countryside, and it can envy the children of the whole village who cry.

"Mingzhu, you are too expensive, you don't need to buy it for the child, she has a lot of clothes, and the eldest sister also gave a lot of old jackets last year."

"She has hers, this is my intention to be a sister-in-law."

Shen Mingzhu pulled the big girl to her side and tried it on the spot, if it is not suitable, she can go to the store tomorrow to change it.

"The clothes seem to be a little bigger, and the pants are a little longer, but the big girl hasn't grown much this year."

Du Juan said: "It's okay to be older, just wear it for two more years." ”

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "That's okay, so be it." ”

In addition to the new clothes of the eldest girl, Shen Mingzhu also bought a new padded jacket for Qin Jinlian and Shen Jianguo, and asked Du Juan to take it back.

Although she is very annoying to Qin Jinlian, she will not fall behind in the filial piety that she should do for her children, leaving a handle for others.

……

When Du Juan took the eldest girl back, she saw the door of the house open, and thought that her husband had returned.

When I opened the door curtain, I saw that it was Shen Xiangnan.

Jia Yuemei was eating noodles, a steaming bowl, with two golden eggs lying on the noodles.

The noodles were a little hot, and Jia Yuemei looked at the two big bags of things in Du Juan's hand while blowing cold.

"Sister-in-law went out to buy something, why did you buy so much."

Du Juan replied: "It was Mingzhu who bought a new jacket for my parents, and asked me to take it back tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Jia Yuemei didn't eat the noodles anymore, and was curious to see what good things Shen Mingzhu bought for the two old people.

Du Juan rummaged through her, and her eyes fell on the dining table, "Didn't you leave food in the pot?" Why are you cooking noodles again? ”

Shen Xiangnan explained with a smile, "Yuemei, she cooked noodles for her if she wanted to, and kept the rice, and I will eat it tomorrow morning." ”

Du Juan nodded and didn't say much.

Shen Xiangnan learned the art of cooking in the back of the restaurant, and he had three meals a day.

Jia Yuemei is too lazy to fire alone, so she usually goes to Du Juan's place to eat, plus Qin Jinlian, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law give ten yuan a month for living expenses.

Ten dollars for two people is actually not enough.

Jia Yuemei has to eat eggs, vegetables, meat, grain, oil, rice, noodles, etc. every day, and Du Juan has to make up a lot every month.

However, she didn't care too much, just when Qin Jinlian's meal expenses were paid by her and Shen Chaobei, the ten yuan Jia Yuemei ate alone, and it was not bad.

"Why do you still have a padded jacket?"

"My sister-in-law bought it for me."

Before Du Juan could speak, the eldest girl rushed to speak first, and her immature face was full of joy and happiness.

"Sister-in-law, my little sister is really good to your eldest girl."

Hearing the sour taste in Jia Yuemei's tone, Du Juan replied: "When the birth in your belly is born, Mingzhu will also be treated equally." ”

Jia Yuemei muttered: "That's not good, my little sister has always favored you and my eldest brother." ”

Du Juan has never liked to argue with people, but Jia Yuemei's words made her face cold.

It's okay for her to be blamed and wronged, but she can't let her sister-in-law be labeled as eccentric.
