Chapter 404: Hundred Family Quilt

Now, when Xiao Shitou stands with his peers, he looks very elegant.

That is to say, no one doubts that he is a child from the city.

Because the time of adults and children in the village is not synchronized, many adults are busy in the fields all day long, either working or tending to their own private plots.

And Xiao Shitou and An An, the two children, are either doing homework or reading books at home except for going to school. Even if they go out to play, they bring backpacks and go to the foot of the back mountain with their friends to pick some wild vegetables and the like.

As a result, many villagers have not seen Xiao Shitou for a long time.

Today, when I attended the full moon banquet, many people did not recognize Xiao Shitou.

This child has changed so much that even if his grandparents had not passed away, they would not dare to recognize their grandson.

From Xiao Shitou, we can know whether Yun Qinghuan and others have treated this child badly.

At the beginning, when Yun Qinghuan and Bai Naihan adopted Xiao Shitou as their godson, many people in the village made sarcastic remarks, saying that Yun Qinghuan must not really want to adopt Xiao Shitou as their godson, but wanted to find someone to work for their family for free.

After all, at that time, Xiao Shitou was already seven or eight years old, and rural children of this age can already help their family with many chores.

Some diligent ones can even go to the fields to earn work points and do some light work.

Not to mention a lot, earning two or three work points a day is still okay.

Wasn't Xiao Shitou like this in his family at the beginning?

In fact, Xiao Shitou is very capable, sometimes he can earn four work points a day, which is already a lot of work points.

You have to know that an adult woman can only earn eight work points a day, and she has to support her family with these work points.

Although Xiao Shitou earns few work points, it is more than enough to support himself.

Besides, he is so old, if he is raised for another two or three years, he will be a strong labor force, and he will earn more work points.

At first, almost everyone guessed that Yun Qinghuan and Bai Naihan were like this, thinking that they must have let Xiao Shitou work for her family for free, and then give Xiao Shitou a meal.

But no one expected that Yun Qinghuan did not let Xiao Shitou do those heavy and tiring work, but only some light work.

And she did not favor one over the other. Her own son would also do the work that Xiao Shitou did. In the end, she even spent money to send him to school.

Now, seeing that Xiao Shitou has grown into a strong boy without knowing it, and looks healthier than their own carefully raised son, everyone's feelings are complicated.

Grandma Chen is not like these people. She speaks directly when she has something in her mind. In front of everyone, she praises Yun Qinghuan for raising Xiao Shitou well.

Yun Qinghuan glanced at Xiao Shitou. The boy blushed a little as he was being stared at by so many people. However, he remembered what Yun Qinghuan had taught him, that boys should be generous and open-minded when doing things. Therefore, he did not bow his head in a petty manner, but raised his head, looked directly at everyone, and smiled at them.

His eyes were full of confidence.

Such a humble and unyielding temperament was even more surprising and eye-catching than his own changes.

At first, Xiao Shitou was often too self-conscious to raise his head because of his family situation.

Yun Qinghuan looked at Xiao Shitou like this, and his eyes were full of relief. He accepted Grandma Chen's praise, "I raise Xiao Shitou as my own son, so naturally I have to teach him the good things."

Xiao Shitou pursed his lips and smiled even happier, his back and waist straightened.

After the banquet, everyone looked at the bare plates and touched their round stomachs after eating so hard, and they felt a little embarrassed.

They could hardly eat enough at home, but they ate a lot of meat at Yun Qinghuan's daughter's full moon banquet, which was a rare feast.

They felt that their stomachs were full of oil and water, and their bloated stomachs could sustain hunger for a whole day!

They didn't have to eat tomorrow!

Everyone was full, and felt that they didn't give anything, so they felt embarrassed.

Seeing that the Bai family's yard was dirty and messy after the banquet, everyone consciously helped to sweep the floor and wash the dishes.

They also helped to return the tables and chairs borrowed from others, and then cleaned up the yard.

Not to mention, there is really strength in numbers. The yard was originally very dirty after the banquet, and there were so many pots and pans that needed to be washed. If they were all left to Yun Qinghuan and the others to clean up, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to clean it up before dark.

But everyone cleaned up together, and it took only more than half an hour to clean up everything.

There is no need to worry about leftovers. Every table was eaten clean, even the soup was not left out.

After everyone in the village left, Yun Qinghuan relaxed and slumped on a recliner in the yard.

Qiao Yue, Wang Shufeng and Zhao Qiumei didn't leave either. The three of them held their children and chatted with Yun Qinghuan in the yard.

Qiao Yue and Wang Shufeng looked at each other, and the two took out a quilt. The quilt was sewn with colorful cloth, but the color combination was pretty good. Although the size and shape of the cloth pieces were not regular, they were sewn neatly and beautifully.

Yun Qinghuan was stunned when he saw the colorful quilt, "What is this?"

Qiao Yue spoke first, "This is the cloth that Feng'er and I went to the village to ask for from door to door. We finally collected a hundred pieces of cloth, and then made a hundred-family quilt for your daughter. It has a good meaning."

Yun Qinghuan looked at the hundred-family quilt, which weighed about five or six pounds, and was made larger on purpose so that the child could cover it when he grew up. It can be seen that the two people's intentions were great, and his heart couldn't help but warm, "I thank you two on behalf of the child."

In fact, it is not about the value of the gift, but the feeling of being valued.

Thinking of not seeing Lu Juan during the meal just now, Yun Qinghuan asked curiously.

"Just now I only saw Bai Aimin and his daughter Bai Zhenzhen, why didn't I see Lu Juan?"

Lu Juan has always been very close to Yun Qinghuan. Before giving birth, Lu Juan often brought her daughter to play with her.

Thinking that Lu Juan has not been seen even after the confinement period, Yun Qinghuan is a little curious.

Qiao Yue saw her asking Lu Juan, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Lu Juan is pregnant, isn't it not three months yet? Her husband is afraid that she will go out to play, and it will be bad if she miscarries rashly, so she has been staying at home to take care of the baby recently."

After all, Lu Juan has intellectual problems. If she goes out to play while pregnant, it will be dangerous if she is bullied or knocked down by those naughty children.

Yun Qinghuan was shocked when she heard the news that Lu Juan was pregnant.

"She is pregnant? When did it happen?"

She had never heard anyone else say it.

"It was just found out two days before you gave birth to your daughter. I guess no one has told you yet." Wang Shufeng said beside her.

Yun Qinghuan thought about it and it was true. During her confinement period, she did not go out of the house and did not see many people. In addition, in the village, pregnancy was a very common thing and few people mentioned it.
