Not long after, Li Yong returned.
...
She didnāt bring back the milk powder, but she brought Meng Xiaoning over.
āBig Brother doesnāt have milk powder at home.ā Li Yong said with some embarrassment.
Meng Xiaoning explained, āI have a lot of milk. I canāt finish it even if I wanted too. 1 have to squeeze it out and throw it away every time. So, 1 only bought a can of milk powder during my confinement period. I havenāt bought any more after that.ā
Qin Xiaomin was a little envious. āIt really is either too much or too little!ā
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaomin awkwardly and discussed with her, āItās not realistic for me to go buy milk powder now. By the time I get to the county, the department store will be closed. I mean, why donāt you let Sister-in-law feed him firstā¦ā
He said tentatively.
Qin Xiaomin was stunned for a moment. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Her own son was drinking someone elseās milk.
It was said that children would be close to whoever they drank milk from, and they recognized the smell of people.
ā1 brought this. Do you want to feed it with a milk bottle?ā Meng Xiaoning stretched out her hand and showed Qin Xiaomin the things in the bag in her hand.
There was a breast pump in the bag.
Qin Xiaomin felt better. āThank you so much, Sister-in-law!ā
Then, she looked at Li Yong. āQuick, bring the milk bottle over!ā
Li Yong quickly went to the kitchen and handed the clean milk bottle to Meng Xiaoning.
Meng Xiaoning took the breast pump and bottle and went to the west room.
In less than two minutes, he was back. The milk bottle was filled to the brim with breast milk.
Meng Xiaoning was about to pass it to Qin Xiaomin when Ji Ziāang snatched it. āFirst Aunt, give it to me, and Iāll feed it!ā
Meng Xiaoning looked at Qin Xiaomin.
Qin Xiaomin nodded and looked at Ji Ziāang. āThen you have to be careful. Donāt choke your Little Brother, understand?ā
Ji Ziāang nodded. āI know. Iāll feed him. Iāve learned about it before, right, Eldest Aunt?ā
Meng Xiaoning laughed. āYes, Ziāang is amazing. He knows how to make milk powder, change diapers, and feed milk!ā
Qin Xiaomin was relieved to hear that.
Meng Xiaoning passed the milk bottle to Ji Ziāang.
Afraid that Ji Ziāang would be careless, Ji Yuanyuan carefully watched from the side.
Before she was reborn, she did not know that Second Brother liked children so much.
Unconsciously, she thought of the child from her previous life.
If Second Brother had known about it at that time, he would have been very happy, right?
Li Nian gulped down more than half of the bottle of milk.
After he finished, Qin Xiaomin picked him up and burped him, but her posture was a little rusty.
Meng Xiaoning couldnāt stand it anymore and reached out to guide her. āYou have to do it like this, or heāll feel uncomfortableā¦ā
Just as she was patting him, Li Lei came over, still holding Xiangxiang in his arms.
āYou can sleep here tonight.ā Li Lei placed Xiangxiang on the brick bed and said in a whisper.
Meng Xiaoning thought for a moment. āThatās fine. The child will definitely be hungry at night. Especially newborn children, they have to wake up three or four times a night.ā
Qin Xiaomin was a newbie, so she could help out at night!
āThen Iāll go to the west room tonight. Zixuan, Ziāang, you guys sleep with me!ā Li Yong was also very self-aware.
But Li Lei said, āLet Zixuan and the other two follow me to sleep over there. Xiangxiang and Niannian will wake up several times at night. They probably canāt sleep well here.ā
Li Yong thought about it and felt Li Leiās words made sense.
At night, Li Lei brought the three children to the new house.
Ji Yuanyuan was sleeping alone on the heated brick bed, and Li Lei was sleeping one person away.
The two brothers, Ji Ziāang and Ji Zixuan, were sleeping on the edge of the bed.
The following day, after cooking, Li Yong drove to the county and finally bought the milk powder.
After dinner, Li Lei went to the mountain.
Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming were working in the greenhouse. Qin Xiaomin was afraid that Li Lei would not be able to see everything with the workers alone on the mountain, so she took the initiative to tell Li Yong, āYou should follow Big Brother up the mountain. The child is sleeping most of the time. Iāll look after them.ā
āIāll call my mother now. Iāll come back early in the afternoon to cook for you,ā said Li Yong hesitantly.
Liu Guihua said that she would be back at seven or eight oāclock. She was afraid that Qin Xiaomin would be too busy during the day.
Qin Xiaomin waved her hand and said, āNo need, no need. Donāt call mother.
Iām fine, and Sister-in-law is here too, so donāt worry.ā
āIāll cook for Sister-in-law in the afternoon. You guys can come back for lunch.ā Meng Xiaoning was also forthright and took the initiative to take care of Qin Xiaomin.
The matter was settled just like that.
Li Yong and Li Lei went up the mountain together, while Meng Xiaoning stayed at home to take care of Qin Xiaomin and the child.
āWhat about you three?ā Li Yong looked at the three children. āAre you going to stay at home with your two aunts to look after the children, or are you going up the mountain with us? Or go to the greenhouse to find Grandpa and Grandma. Choose!ā
Hearing that, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan both looked at Ji Ziāang.
After all, they had to accommodate Ji Ziāangās many ideas.
Ji Ziāang was troubled. On one hand, he wanted to go up the mountain to act wildly, but on the other hand, he wanted to be with his younger siblings.
āThen you can stay at home.ā Li Yong saw that he didnāt speak for a long time and didnāt care about him.
The workers were probably arriving soon. He had to hurry!
Ji Ziāang was like this. If you didnāt want him to go, he would go!
āIāll go up the mountain with you!ā he immediately spoke after Li Yong finished his words.
If he followed, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan had to follow as well.
āYou two, keep an eye on them. Donāt let them run around.ā Meng Xiaoning instructed.
āI know, donāt worry!ā Li Lei said.
Li Lei took a hoe, a shovel, and a few water buckets from the yard and put them on the tricycle.
Meng Xiaoning ran out again and took a big clean glass filled with water. āGive the children this water. Donāt give them raw water!ā
Li Lei took the cup and placed it in the car. āYou donāt have to worry.ā
He got into the tricycle and started the engine.
Li Yong took the three children and climbed into the car.
The tricycle drove toward the back of the mountain.
After Meng Xiaoning sent them off, she locked the door when she got home.
After entering the house, she asked, āDo you want some water? Should I get you some water?ā
āItās alright, Sister-in-law. You donāt have to be so busy.ā Qin Xiaomin was a little uneasy. āItās not like I canāt walk, you donāt have to take care of me like this!ā
Meng Xiaoning laughed. āConfinement is a big deal. Donāt think itās not a big deal just because youāre young. Many people donāt have proper confinement and fall sick.ā
Hearing Meng Xiaoningās words, Qin Xiaomin couldnāt help but laugh.
Meng Xiaoning was a little surprised and asked, āWhatās wrong? What did I say wrong?ā
Qin Xiaomin quickly waved her hands, āNo, no, itās just that you sound so old-fashioned⦠I think weāre from the same year!ā
After a pause, Qin Xiaomin continued, āI think weāre quite fated. Weāre both from 1974. We both have the word āXiaoā in our names. We both have a younger brother. We even married into the same family and had children in the same year!
When Qin Xiaomin said that, Meng Xiaoning also felt that the two of them were really fated.
The two sisters-in-law laughed.
Meng Xiaoningās cautious feelings toward Qin Xiaomin had long disappeared without a trace..
