Settle down

  The three siblings immediately retracted their gaze and looked up at her when they heard about eating meat. Geng Lian smiled and nodded to the three children, "Today your second aunt has come, our family's life will improve."

  Three children excitedly started cheering and jumping for joy, they felt very happy just because they could have a meal with meat at home.

  Yu Xi couldn't figure out where this place was, what era it was in, or why it was so poor. However, judging from everyone's clothing, it shouldn't be her era.

  Geng Lian held a bowl of egg drop soup to feed her nephew, but Bai Haoran opened his mouth with a serious expression, "Auntie, I can do it myself."

  After finishing speaking, he picked up a small spoon and dug out a spoonful of egg, sending it to his mouth, and smacked his lips, "Delicious."

  Seeing his sister staring at him with big eyes, Bai Haoran felt a bit embarrassed and was about to feed her some egg, but was stopped by Geng Lian. "Hey, my little ancestor, your sister is still young, she can't eat this now, if she really eats it, she'll definitely get diarrhea, Haoran you eat it yourself, wait for your mom to feed your sister milk later."

  Bai Yu was also hungry, but she couldn't bear to wake up Geng Mei. Along the way, the siblings relied on her alone for care, which was hard enough. They could only help a little and not cause trouble.

  She stretched her little head to see how her mother was doing, but the small package wrapped around her blocked her line of sight.

  Geng Lian couldn't help but find it amusing, a small and delicate little ball of flesh, actually having such a mischievous move.

  "Yātóu, are you hungry? I'll call your mom to get up and feed you now. You've slept for so long, it's time to wake up, or else you won't be able to sleep tonight."

  Wake up your still sleepy sister, "Second sister, hurry up and wake up, if you sleep any longer, your daughter will be starving to death."

  As a mother, nothing is more unbearable than hearing her child say they are hungry. Even if Geng Mei was sleeping soundly and feeling extremely tired, as soon as she heard her daughter's stomach growling, she immediately got up, still half asleep, and began breastfeeding her.

  Bai Haoran carefully fed her a spoonful of egg "Mom, eat, it's delicious, Auntie made it."

  Geng Mei, who was still a bit drowsy, was now completely awake. She felt a little remorseful and patted her head, realizing she had been so focused on sleeping that she hadn't taken good care of the two children.

  "Sister, isn't it time to eat? I'm starving."

  "Hey, good kid, Geng Mei touched her flat belly and only then realized that she was really hungry to the point of having no energy."

  Geng Lian hastily called over the three children to help out. Her brother-in-law, who was chopping firewood outside, also came in to eat.

  "I said, little auntie, you're really bold, bringing back two such young children all by yourself. You're really capable, aren't you afraid of encountering kidnappers and having the kids taken away? You two are too trusting, I don't know what to say."

  Big sister's husband Tang Tao works in a nearby factory, so when he talks, there is naturally some reason to it, Geng Lian sighed.

  "Sis, isn't this the only way? After dinner, find a car to send them back to my mom's place. Who knows when brother-in-law can pick up these three and take them back."

  Geng Lian was worried about her younger sister, who had left home at such a young age to go to that desolate place. The second sister had originally planned to take the university entrance exam there, but who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, their family's most educated younger sister ended up trapped there for life without even getting a chance to attend college?

  Geng Mei took some meat from the plate and gave it to her three nieces, "Come on, eat more meat, you're all growing up."

  Geng Mei also gave a few pieces of meat to her younger sister, "You should eat more too, you're so thin, don't even know how to nourish yourself. Sigh, why did you have to marry someone so far away? It's hard for us siblings to see each other now. You were doing well as a teacher back then, what made you want to run off somewhere? Don't you regret it now?"

  Geng Lian had always wanted to know the answer, Geng Mei smiled and said, "Sister, this is all in the past, why are you still bringing it up? I'm already satisfied with having two kids, I don't ask for anything else. Besides, the father of the child isn't bad either."

  Geng Lian couldn't judge her sister's life, as long as she felt comfortable with it. At that time, every family was not wealthy, and even if they wanted to help their younger sister, they didn't have the ability to do so.

  Tang Tao quickly finished his meal and went out to find someone to help send the three children to their maternal grandmother's place, while Geng Lian also took her three children along to visit.

  Yu Shui slept well, and wasn't sleepy on the road either. She opened her big eyes to look outside and said in her heart that she thought this place was really poor, with mountains everywhere, and they were walking on a mountain road full of potholes. If it weren't for being in her mother's arms, she suspected that her butt would have been shaken into two halves.

  What kind of place is this? There are so many mountain roads and they're not even easy to walk on.

  There is no answer in my heart, and I couldn't ask it out. All I can do is open my shiny eyes to look around, except for the inconvenient road, the scenery here is not bad, with green mountains and clear water, and the air is also fresh. She could feel a wave of fragrance coming towards her, which should be the scent of wildflowers on the mountain.

  Geng Mei hugged her daughter and pulled her little son, feeling a bit sentimental. "It's still nice to be back home, our place doesn't have the scenery like this side, in winter it's dry and cold, which is not as good as here where the climate is pleasant all year round."

  Elder sister Geng Lian gave her a white eye, "This time you know our place is good, didn't listen to me at first..."

  Bai Haoran pouted, "Auntie, our home is pretty good too. It's flat and smooth, I can even walk with my eyes closed without anything happening."

  Geng Lian was amused by her nephew's words, "Little thing, you can even use idioms, not bad, your mom didn't teach you in vain."

  Geng Mei smiled and stroked her son's little face, the two children were home wherever they went, even if the conditions weren't as good as here, but she had already gotten used to life over there and didn't think it was a big deal.

  Arrived at grandma's house, Yuexi saw three aunts and younger aunts she had never seen before. They looked a bit like her mother, but in her heart, none of them were as beautiful as Geng Mei. She guessed this was probably just her own bias. Several uncles were also married now, hearing that their sister had returned, they all came over to take a look.

  The humble house was suddenly bustling, brothers and sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, now Geng Mei was back, everyone rarely gathered together, the woman was busy cooking, men surrounded the old lady chatting about family affairs.

  Bai Haoran and the few younger kids in the house had run off somewhere to play, leaving only Yu Tong lying obediently in her grandmother's arms listening to the adults chat, from which she could also learn a lot of information about this household.

  Originally, Grandpa had passed away early on, and only Grandma and two daughters were left at home to farm. Fortunately, both aunts have already been engaged.

  The three daughters settled down in this somewhat remote but quiet mountain village.
