Xiu Xiu stuck out her tongue, "Mom, don't say that. It's too hurried to go back to the house today. Even if you want to go back, you have to go back in the evening or tomorrow."

"Besides, I plan to stay at my parents' house for a while when I go back. I want to talk to my sister-in-law more, so I have to wait for Xiaowei and the others to come back so that he can send me back. I also have to pack some clothes.

ah!"

When Cao Bamei heard that Xiuxiu was going back this time and planned to stay for a while, her previous unknown anger dissipated and she started to look forward to it again.

"Okay, that's fine. There's no rush for this."

"You tidy up here, and I will tidy up your room again when I get home, and dry out the quilt, so you can live better when you go back."

"Well, okay, cough..."

As soon as she finished her words, Xiu Xiu coughed again, just like before.

"Why are you coughing again? You shouldn't be choking on your saliva again, right?" Cao Bamei became suspicious again.

Xiu Xiu knew that she couldn't hide it this time, so she took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, blushing slightly and said, "Maybe it's been cold these past two days, and I've caught a little cold, and my throat is a little itchy, but everything else is fine.

.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Bamei suddenly became nervous, stood up and came to the bedside to sit down next to Xiuxiu.

"You kid, I told you to keep warm, but why are you still catching a cold?"

"In addition to your itchy throat, do you have other symptoms? Don't hide it from your mother!"

Xiuxiu put down the handkerchief and gently held Cao Bamei's arm: "Don't worry, Mom, it's just a minor cough. I'll drink some hot water and it'll be fine."

However, Cao Bamei couldn't let go and said: "According to earth recipes, grilled oranges, or pears steamed with rock sugar can cure coughs. Are there any in this house? If not, mother will go to the town to buy them for you."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "How can I ask my mother to buy it? I'll just ask Xiaowei to run over later. He's a man with long arms and legs. I don't want my mother to be burdened."

Speaking of Li Wei, Cao Bamei turned her head and looked at the door, "It's been a while since I've been here, and I haven't seen them come back. Where on earth have this family been? What have they been doing?"

Xiuxiu said, "Mom, don't look away. They won't be able to come back now. They won't be able to come back until the sun sets in the evening."

"Why do you have to do it so late?"

"They all went to Li Wei's aunt's house. His aunt's house was being renovated and they all went over to help."

"Everyone came over to help? You are the only one left at home? Why are you so big-hearted!"

Cao Bamei is unhappy, so brother and sister Li Wei can just go and help. Mother Li has to stay at home, right?

"Xiaowei is doing hard work, so what are his mother and his sister doing with him?" Cao Bamei asked again.

Renovating a house is hard work, dirty work, and you have to climb high. It is a job for men, not women.

Even if women do it, they are women from poor families who are too poor to take the blame and have to work hard on the farm.

Or maybe even women who are as strong and strong as cattle can do things that Mother Li and Li Qiaoer can't do.

Sure enough, Xiuxiu said: "Xiaowei must have gone to help with the labor work. My uncle and two cousins ​​also went there."

"My mother-in-law and Qiaoer went over to help cook."

Cao Bamei said: "Can't your aunt and your cousin Li Dan'er be burned?"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "My aunt is not in good health. She has been ill for the past two days. Dan'er cannot support her alone. After all, including the craftsmen, there are seven or eight people to eat."

"That's why I called my mother-in-law and Qiao'er to help..."

"Have your aunt and your two cousins-in-law gone?"

"They didn't go. They had children at home and couldn't go."

"Oh, then you can go if you have nothing to do at home. In that case, where did you have lunch?"

Xiu Xiu said, "I'm eating at home."

Yang Huamei was so angry that she almost started shouting: "What? Your man went to help others with work, and your mother-in-law and sister-in-law went to help cook. No one brought you a bowl back, and you, a pregnant woman, had to ask for it yourself.

Cooking food to eat? What’s the point of this!”

When Xiu Xiu saw that Cao Bamei was really angry and frightened, she quickly changed her words and said, "Mom, don't be angry. Things are not what you think..."

"I don't care what happens, I'll go to the house to find them!"

Cao Bamei put the bowl of sugar water in her hand on the bench, turned around and walked out.

Xiu Xiu was so frightened that she came out from under the quilt without even putting on her shoes. She caught up and grabbed Cao Bamei's arm: "Mother, what are you doing? Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"

"There's nothing to say. I only have one idea. I'll go find them to reason with them. That's okay!"

"Mom, there's nothing to say. I originally went to the house to play for a while, and my mother-in-law and aunt asked me to have dinner there at noon. But when I saw the food and the craftsmen working, I suddenly felt nothing.

Once your appetite is gone, it will come back on its own."

"Really?" Cao Bamei looked at Xiuxiu suspiciously again, "Are you speaking for them?"

Xiu Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, "How can you do that? Do you think your daughter and I are that kind of fool? I never wrong myself!"

Cao Bamei looked Xiuxiu up and down again, and finally nodded, "Indeed, there are big men doing hard work over there in the house. The smell of sweat is overwhelming. I don't like eating with those people either!"

"However, if you are really thoughtful, I can deliver the food to you in advance, so you don't have to cook it yourself!"

After all, the Li family still didn't care about Xiu Xiu, and Cao Bamei's expression turned ugly again.

However, Xiu Xiu shook her head, "I like to cook. I eat simple at noon because I eat a lot in the morning. I'll see what happens at night. Maybe I'll go over and eat, maybe let Xiaowei bring it to me, or else I'll just wait."

They will do it for me alone when they come back."

"You know, I am carrying the grandson of their Li family in my belly now. They all regard me as a Bodhisattva. In this family, everyone listens to me whether I say what to eat or not to eat. Don't worry, mother.

alright!"

Xiuxiu coaxed and pulled her, and she persuaded Cao Bamei to go back to the house.

"A sneeze!"

Xiuxiu suddenly sneezed loudly. Cao Bamei looked down and realized that she was wearing socks and no shoes.

At this time, Cao Bamei was really shocked, "You girl, why do you go to the ground without wearing any shoes? Come on, go back to bed!"

Xiu Xiu stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully: "I wasn't in a hurry just now. Look at my mother's behavior at that time. She rolled up her sleeves and seemed to rush to the house to fight with others! I was scared!"

Cao Bamei put the quilt over Xiu Xiu's body, stuffed her hands under the quilt, and held Xiu Xiu's cold feet to help her warm them.

"I won't hide it from you. In this world, you three siblings are my life." Cao Bamei said.

"Whoever kills me, don't worry, your mother and I are short, I will still risk my life!"
