Not long after, Li Yong returned.
She didn’t bring back the milk powder, but she brought Meng Xiaoning over.
“Big Brother doesn’t have milk powder at home.” Li Yong said with some embarrassment.
Meng Xiaoning explained, “I have a lot of milk. I can’t 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 haven’t bought any more after that.”
Qin Xiaomin was a little envious. “It really is either too much or too little!”
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaomin awkwardly and discussed with her, “It’s 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 don’t you let Sister-in-law feed him first…”
He said tentatively.
Qin Xiaomin was stunned for a moment. She felt a little uncomfortable.
Her own son was drinking someone else’s milk.
It was said that children would be close to whoever they drank milk from, and they recognized the smell of people.
“1 brought this. Do you want to feed it with a milk bottle?” 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. “Thank you so much, Sister-in-law!”
Then, she looked at Li Yong. “Quick, bring the milk bottle over!”
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 Zi’ang snatched it. “First Aunt, give it to me, and I’ll feed it!”
Meng Xiaoning looked at Qin Xiaomin.
Qin Xiaomin nodded and looked at Ji Zi’ang. “Then you have to be careful. Don’t choke your Little Brother, understand?”
Ji Zi’ang nodded. “I know. I’ll feed him. I’ve learned about it before, right, Eldest Aunt?”
Meng Xiaoning laughed. “Yes, Zi’ang is amazing. He knows how to make milk powder, change diapers, and feed milk!”
Qin Xiaomin was relieved to hear that.
Meng Xiaoning passed the milk bottle to Ji Zi’ang.
Afraid that Ji Zi’ang 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 couldn’t stand it anymore and reached out to guide her. “You have to do it like this, or he’ll feel uncomfortable…”
Just as she was patting him, Li Lei came over, still holding Xiangxiang in his arms.
“You can sleep here tonight.” Li Lei placed Xiangxiang on the brick bed and said in a whisper.
Meng Xiaoning thought for a moment. “That’s fine. The child will definitely be hungry at night. Especially newborn children, they have to wake up three or four times a night.”
Qin Xiaomin was a newbie, so she could help out at night!
“Then I’ll go to the west room tonight. Zixuan, Zi’ang, you guys sleep with me!” Li Yong was also very self-aware.
But Li Lei said, “Let Zixuan and the other two follow me to sleep over there. Xiangxiang and Niannian will wake up several times at night. They probably can’t sleep well here.”
Li Yong thought about it and felt Li Lei’s 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 Zi’ang 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, “You should follow Big Brother up the mountain. The child is sleeping most of the time. I’ll look after them.”
“I’ll call my mother now. I’ll come back early in the afternoon to cook for you,” said Li Yong hesitantly.
Liu Guihua said that she would be back at seven or eight o’clock. She was afraid that Qin Xiaomin would be too busy during the day.
Qin Xiaomin waved her hand and said, “No need, no need. Don’t call mother.
I’m fine, and Sister-in-law is here too, so don’t worry.”
“I’ll cook for Sister-in-law in the afternoon. You guys can come back for lunch.” 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.
“What about you three?” Li Yong looked at the three children. “Are 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!”
Hearing that, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan both looked at Ji Zi’ang.
After all, they had to accommodate Ji Zi’ang’s many ideas.
Ji Zi’ang 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.
“Then you can stay at home.” Li Yong saw that he didn’t speak for a long time and didn’t care about him.
The workers were probably arriving soon. He had to hurry!
Ji Zi’ang was like this. If you didn’t want him to go, he would go!
“I’ll go up the mountain with you!” he immediately spoke after Li Yong finished his words.
If he followed, Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan had to follow as well.
“You two, keep an eye on them. Don’t let them run around.” Meng Xiaoning instructed.
“I know, don’t worry!” 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. “Give the children this water. Don’t give them raw water!”
Li Lei took the cup and placed it in the car. “You don’t have to worry.”
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, “Do you want some water? Should I get you some water?”
“It’s alright, Sister-in-law. You don’t have to be so busy.” Qin Xiaomin was a little uneasy. “It’s not like I can’t walk, you don’t have to take care of me like this!”
Meng Xiaoning laughed. “Confinement is a big deal. Don’t think it’s not a big deal just because you’re young. Many people don’t have proper confinement and fall sick.”
Hearing Meng Xiaoning’s words, Qin Xiaomin couldn’t help but laugh.
Meng Xiaoning was a little surprised and asked, “What’s wrong? What did I say wrong?”
Qin Xiaomin quickly waved her hands, “No, no, it’s just that you sound so old-fashioned… I think we’re from the same year!”
After a pause, Qin Xiaomin continued, “I think we’re quite fated. We’re both from 1974. We both have the word ‘Xiao’ 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 Xiaoning’s cautious feelings toward Qin Xiaomin had long disappeared without a trace..
