"Milk, where's my father?"
At dawn the next morning, two-year-old Yan Yuanbao couldn't control his inner power and began to cry at the top of his voice. When he was so noisy, the whole family couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, in the past year or two, the family was used to Yan Yuanbao's biological clock without biological clock. With his first cry in the morning, he rubbed his eyes and came down from the Kang.
The eldest sister Yan Jin put on her clothes and began to coax her brother. She quickly checked his brother's diaper. When she felt that the diaper was wet, she quickly changed another one for her brother.
Yan Zhen and Yan Zhu are seven years old and six years old. After they put on their clothes, they also helped their two four-year-old sisters tidy up their clothes, tie the hem into their pants, and then put on their little coat.
Now there is still a month or two before midsummer. Some adults have put on short sleeves. The children certainly can't. the physical resistance is poor. Several children of the Yan family must wear a coat when they go out.
The first thing Yan Fei and Yan Cui did when they got off the Kang was to run to grandma's room to find their father, but after climbing around the Kang, they couldn't find their father's figure.
"Your dad, he's out."
The old lady got up earlier than her granddaughters and began to prepare dinner for the whole family. Her little grandson had no mother when he was born. After rubbing milk with several nearby families with small babies for several months, she began to eat complementary food.
Lu Aihua estimated the time and brought breakfast soon after the children woke up. Yan Yuanbao's food was the most delicate. Who made him a baby? He couldn't digest coarse grain.
There are many children in the Yan family. Yan Jin and Yan Zhen had a good life when they were young. After Yan Zhu, Yan Fei and Yan Cui became sensible, there were already many children in the family. The family would exchange some fine quantities for coarse grain with some well-off families every month. In addition, they had to go to the black market and change some rations back, so that they could barely feed a large family.
Therefore, when every child is eating sweet potato bract porridge, the bowl of rice paste boiled into a paste in front of Yan Yuanbao is particularly rare.
In particular, how good the rice is these days. After cooking for several hours, the rice oil comes out and sprays fragrance. The taste goes straight into people's nose.
Yan Jin and Yan Zhen restrained a little. The next three little sisters looked at their brother's bowl of rice and couldn't help swallowing their saliva as usual.
The old lady can't see that several granddaughters are greedy, but who makes the conditions at home like that? Every child eats rice white / noodles, which can't afford to consume.
There's nothing I can do for my little grandson. At the beginning, all my granddaughters drank their mother's milk. Even if they ate supplementary food, the amount was not large. I didn't have a chance to go to my little grandson. It's not a matter to always drink other people's milk. I always have to carry some fish and meat every month, or give some money. In the first six months of my little grandson's birth, I haven't eaten a mouthful of meat at home.
It's strange that this world must have a son. The old lady sighed. If she only had Dajin and Erzhen, her daughter-in-law is still alive. Both of them work in the factory. They still have a good life. Now her son doesn't have to take such a big risk to be a bad master.
"Don't be greedy for your brother. The milk steamed egg soup for you, and your sisters shared it."
Lu Aihua brought out a bowl of egg soup and two eggs from the kitchen. There was a lot of water. They looked sparse. The eggs were born by her own hen. She was really reluctant to buy them.
Because I know that I owe a few little granddaughters. The eggs laid by a hen at home are for them to eat, and the little grandson's supplementary food comes from here.
There are not many old ladies willing to eat eggs for their granddaughter these days. There are some good things for their son and grandson.
Sure enough, the five sisters were happy to see the egg soup. Lu Aihua fed rice paste to the little granddaughters. Seeing that the little granddaughters were happy to eat, she also felt that there was still a rush in this day, as long as her son was safe.
"Milk, where are the new clothes dad bought us?"
Having breakfast, the jade sisters remembered their beautiful little skirts again.
"Four Jadeites and five emeralds, you are good. Your father didn't buy a small skirt suitable for you in Shencheng this time, but it's not easy for him. In order to save more money so that your sisters can study, he only eats three steamed buns every day. He'd rather live a good life for you when he's hungry, so don't blame your father."
The old lady didn't care if her four-year-old granddaughter could understand her. She broke everything up and told several granddaughters, focusing on the son's attention to their sisters. The provincial granddaughters were older and felt that their father had treated them badly after listening to some words they shouldn't listen to outside.
"Reading?"
The eyes of nine year old Yan Jin and seven year old Yan Zhen suddenly brightened.
Yan Jin, in particular, should have gone to school at the age of eight, but that year her mother died of dystocia. She had a milk doll and four sisters. The old lady couldn't bring it alone. As an eldest sister, she naturally had to sacrifice herself to help take care of her younger sister.
Yan Jin originally thought that she might not be able to study. Even in the city, there are many girls in families with many children who don't study. But now listen to grandma's meaning that her father wants to send her to school. Can she not be excited.
"Well, your father said that your sisters should study and spend any money."
Lu Aihua nodded to her granddaughter. She was also ignored by her grandmother. Unexpectedly, this silent child in the past missed books so much. How excited she is now.
"Da Jin, don't blame your father. It's not easy for him." The old lady patted her granddaughter's hand and said.
"Milk, I understand. Our father is good to our sisters."
Yan Jin said without thinking.
There is also a family at the entrance of the Hutong. Like their family, they have been giving birth to daughters, but they can't give birth to sons. Their family is even worse. They haven't given birth to a son yet, and the family planning control is so strict that all the women who have given birth have been arrested and put on the ring. It is estimated that they can't have children in the future.
Yan Jin remembers that the family gave birth to seven daughters, four of whom were raised by people who didn't know where. The three older daughters were raised at home, but the man and their grandmother either beat or scolded their three sisters and their mother, let alone study. The oldest one began to make money to supplement the family early, It's estimated that they will have to be sold for betrothal gifts in a few years.
The situation of their family is similar, but Grandma and dad have always been very good to their sisters and their mother. Although life is tight, they are not hungry and cold. Now when they hear that dad wants to send her to school, Yan Jin thinks dad is better.
Before, Yan Jin, who heard from the neighbors' aunts and aunts that their father would not be good to them if he had a son and would let their sisters be cattle and horses to support his little brother in the future, forgot these things immediately.
She thought that her parents were so kind to her. When she worked and made money in the future, she would be filial to them.
The emerald sisters must be younger and can't understand these things. They only know that the beautiful little skirt they have been waiting for for for a long time is gone, and their mouth is shriveled. With a mouthful of salty, fragrant, soft and slippery egg soup, their little head will forget those unhappiness and be happy again.

"Is the third aunt at home?"
When the day was completely bright, the door of the Yan family was knocked. Hearing the sound, Lu Aihua frowned and reluctantly got up to open the door.
"At home."
She rubbed her stiff face, let herself try to show a kind smile, and then opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, more than a dozen people crowded in.
"His third aunt, I heard that Yan Chu went to Shencheng and brought back a lot of good things?"
There is no secret between the neighbors. Yan Chu gave his iron rice job to his second uncle's cousin, and then left for a month. Everyone guessed that he might be a bad Lord. You know, Yan Chu's aunt married a businessman from the south. The opposite side is said to be from Shencheng. Although she hasn't come back these years, The correspondence between the two sides was not broken.
Now how many people run to the south. Yan Chu has a close aunt in Shencheng, who has an advantage over others.
No, he just came back in the middle of the night yesterday, when his neighbors saw how many good things were in the two full nylon bags, but it aroused the curiosity of others.
The relatives of the Yan family also heard the news and hurried to take advantage of it.
"Nothing good."
Of course, Mrs. Lu can't recognize it, but she is soft hearted and doesn't know how to deal with these questions. She also wants to run to her relatives in the bedroom.
"Lobby sister-in-law, second Hall sister-in-law, why are you all here?"
Yan Chu came in with a large piece of white cotton cloth. He wanted to call some girls, but who knows that when he came in, he saw relatives who surrounded the old lady.
These are the same people who are originally disgusted, but who allows parents to unconditionally tolerate their children, even if they are broken, they are willing to give them another chance.
Therefore, the original wish had expectations for six children, but there were no requirements for these people. It can be seen that they were completely cold hearted. In this case, Yan Chu naturally didn't have to be polite to them.
