Zhao Xi left. Shu Yu looked at his back and thought of the conversation with Daya at night. In the end, she did not call out to him.
She carried the medicine and staggered home. There were two more children at home, and with the addition of Dabao and Baoya brought by Madam Liang, it was extremely lively.
Madam Ruan did not go to the garment room today. the old lady was old and she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her, so she accompanied her and looked after her for half a day.
As soon as Shu Yu returned, she took the medicine bag and boiled the medicine first.
Shu Yu carried Quanquan. The little guy was very light. He didn’t have much energy yesterday, but now he was trying hard to stand up.
The old lady said as she sewed the doll cover, “Yesterday, the situation was scary. He was born prematurely. It’s all thanks to your aunt and uncle who took good care of her before that he didn’t look so sickly. However, he was still small. Usually, some children of his age could walk, but he could not even stand up. He was also prone to illness. I was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold on like that yesterday…”
Madam Liang interjected, “That’s right. If something happened, what would happen to my sister-in-law?”
“Alright, shut up.”
Madam Liang raised her head and blinked. What did she say wrong again?
The old lady was the one who said it first. It seemed that only she could say these words, but she couldn’t.
Shu Yu smiled and carried Quanquan around the courtyard. Looking at the chicken and the dishes, the little guy was extremely happy.
Xiaozhen followed closely behind, afraid that Shu Yu would be tired from carrying the child and wanted to take over.
Shu Yu turned around and glanced at the little girl. Xiaozhen looked uneasy. Her parents had met with an accident and she was now staying at her second uncle’s house. Although her grandmother doted on her, she knew things at her age and understood that this was called…She was living under someone else’s roof, so she didn’t dare to cause any trouble, especially after her younger brother made a scene for most of the night last night.
Shu Yu squatted down with Quanquan in his arms and smiled at her. “Why don’t you play with Sanya and Baoya?”
“l have to take care of my brother.”
“No need. I’ll take care of him. You can go and play. Didn’t Sanya give you a doll yesterday? You don’t like it?” “l like it.” Xiaozhen quickly said, “l like it very much.”
She had hugged it to sleep last night.
Shu Yu knew that she was feeling uneasy. He thought about it and said, “If you want to do something, how about this? Can you help me turn the rags on the shelf over to bask in the sun?”
Xiaozhen’s eyes lit up. “Alright.”
She ran away to look through the shredded cloth. Sanya looked up and saw it, so she quickly ran over to help.
She had been helping out since the beginning. Sanya was used to doing work. In the past, she had to gather pigweed and firewood in Shangshi Village. After coming to the county town, she would occasionally help out.
But now that Baoya was here, Third Aunt asked her to help take care of Baoya, so Sanya could only take care of the child.
Seeing that Xiaozhen was busy, she couldn’t continue playing. Anyway, Baoya and Maneki were familiar with each other, so she let them play by themselves. She ran off to rummage through the rags with Xiaozhen.
Shu Yu smiled. Seeing that Madam Ruan had finished brewing the medicine, she quickly carried the little guy to feed him the medicine.
After a day of observation, Quanquan was indeed fine, and the old lady was relieved.
At night, when Lu Sanzhu ran over to freeload on his meal, the old lady was already in high spirits and ready to scold.
This couple was so shameless.. It was fine if they had to freeload for a day or two, but were they planning to have dinner here every day?
