Chapter 426 Don't Listen, Don't Listen, Mother Rec

ould no longer hold on and said, “I can’t do this anymore, I need to sleep.”Resulting in, before his words were even finished, there was commotion outside the courtyard. Mr. Wen was so startled he ju...The couple now bears his surname, Li, and spends their days tending to their small courtyard. They don't have much to do.

It just so happens that we can send them to find out about the Gong family's background. They seem like honest and ordinary people, unlikely to arouse suspicion...

Although Li Lao'er was thinking about it, since his elder brother took over the matter, he didn't have much to contribute, so he went to the mountain valley.

Tao Hongying continued to study her recipe. The Dong family had already sent the news.

Mrs. Dong, the elder of the family, likes to eat dumplings. The children like cucumbers. So she decided to make dumplings with cucumber and egg filling.

So, there's no need to cook at home in the evening. Why not make dumplings I can try them out for her as well.

Huiniang's family has finished most of their work and brought the child over to help.

The elderly women gathered together, chatting and laughing as they wrapped dumplings, making a lively scene.

Jia Yin sat between the two twins, claiming she was watching them, but in reality, she treated them like two big toys.

The kang was warm, and the two children had kicked off their swaddling clothes, happily kicking their little feet and occasionally spitting out some bubbles.

Jia Yin held a pastry, nibbling on it slowly and occasionally bringing it up to their faces. “Aren’t you hungry This is pastry, it’s fragrant and sweet. It’s a shame you can’t eat it!”

Two chubby babies, whether they understood or not, anyway, their saliva was flowing like a river.

Jia Yin smiled and rolled her eyes, then changed her mind. “This way, I’ll give you snacks, and you’ll give me your little piggies to eat, okay”

Two chubby dolls excitedly patted their hands and feet, Jia Yin took it as their agreement.

So she took one chubby foot in each hand, gnawing on the left and then the right.

Finally full, she stuffed half the pastry into her mouth.

Finally, she patted her empty hands and mumbled, "Oh dear, I forgot. You're too young to have snacks! We'll give you some when you grow up!"

The two chubby dolls were stunned for a moment, as if they realized they had been deceived. They angrily opened their mouths and wailed loudly!

Everyone around kept secretly watching, and now they were all laughing uncontrollably.

"Funiu'er is too bad, look how the two children are drooling!"

"You see, these two kids will probably suffer when they grow up. With a sister like that, who knows how they'll endure the bullying!"

"They're eating your dirty socks for free, and they haven't even gotten the snacks yet. Look how pitiful they are."

Jia Yin didn't expect to be caught bullying the little kid. Her face was flushed red, and she giggled nervously as she tried to hide away, afraid her mother would catch her and spank her.

Hui Niang hugged her son and daughter, feeding them a few bites of milk, finally calming them down.

She was also smiling from ear to ear, “These two little troublemakers are really noisy at night, my husband and I can’t get a good sleep. Let Funiu discipline them, otherwise, when they grow up, they'll be even more lawless.”

Jia Yin ran over and hugged Hui Niang from behind, giving her a big kiss on the cheek. "Master is the best!"

"Hui-niang laughed with delight, but she didn't forget to remind her, 'Fu-niu'er, play for two more days. When I finish my work there, I have to catch up on all the reading and needlework I've missed.'"

Jia Yin immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and lay down, giving up.

Everyone laughed even harder. Tao Hongying lightly tapped her daughter’s head with a rolling pin, “You really are lazy! You’re more energetic when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun than anyone else, but when it comes to studying or needlework, you always make excuses!”

The old woman, surprisingly, didn't defend her granddaughter and chimed in, "That's right. In two years, be careful that your younger siblings surpass you! You might lose face then!"

Jia Yin covered her ears, rolling all over the kang bed, obviously determined to play coy!

Just as things were heating up, Lord Hou and Lao Er Li walked in together from outside.

Jiao Yin immediately jumped up and rushed over, pretending to cry loudly.

"Father! Oh, Father! How have you returned at last Mother and Grandmother said that I am stupid, they don't want me anymore!"

The Lord embraced the plump little girl and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, your mother and grandmother don't want you, there's still your stepfather! Your stepfather's house has plenty of food, so don't worry about eating too much."

Plenty of food, eat a lot

Jia Yin blinked twice, suddenly reacting, and kicked her little chubby legs in annoyance. "Uncle, you called me a pig!"

Everyone burst into laughter!

The marquis managed to appease the chubby little girl, and quickly pulled out a string of silk thread from his arms. The bright red silk was woven into a braid with a small rabbit, about the size of a child's palm, threaded in the middle.

The rabbit is entirely made of pearls, with only its eyes being ruby gems. It is exquisitely cute and beautiful.

Jia Yin immediately fell in love with it, cheering and grabbing it. She gave her godfather a big kiss and ran to show off to her grandmother and mother.

"Grandma, Mama, look at my bunny! My bunny!"

The old woman had some flour on her hands, so she gently bumped her granddaughter's chubby cheeks with her forehead and laughed, "Little treasure, you were just giving me a hard time. Now that you got something good, you immediately beamed!"

Jia Yin giggled and clumsily tried to tie the sash around her waist, but it wouldn't stay in place. She could only run to find her godfather for help.

"The lord helped the chubby little girl while asking, 'Big Yong's two children, aren't you having a full-month celebration'"

"Hui Niang quickly replied, "The courtyard is too busy right now. Dayong said we'll celebrate together on his first birthday."

The Marquis nodded and said to the old lady, "Auntie, I have arranged for two servants at the Marquis's residence. They can follow me out or ride in the carriage on a daily basis. Would you like them sent over in a few days"

The old lady beamed and readily agreed, "That's a good idea. There's really no one at home to go out with us. Especially the second son has to go to court, so usually it's Ye Shan who helps out."

As everyone chatted and laughed, the dumplings were soon packed and sent to the kitchen.

Could it be that Lord Hou is back Li Lao Er invited the village head, Zhao Shu and a few others, Liu Biaotou, and Zhang Shini over to celebrate together.

Tao Hongying also made several more dishes, along with four kinds of dumplings, filling the table.

Tao Hongying still felt it wasn't enough, and inquired of the Marquis, "Marquis, how many days can you stay at home this time"

The lord shook his head. “After breakfast tomorrow, I have to return to the military camp.”

Tao Hongying thought about it for a moment, but didn't say anything.

When people gather together, there are always endless things to talk about, and naturally, it becomes even more lively.

Li Yong was going to the military camp tomorrow, so Li Lao Si would stay home for a few more days. He told everyone about the remaining chores, and they all agreed.

In the courtyard next door to the Cui family, because Grandma He went to help at Li's house, only Shui Ling was guarding the Gong siblings.

She took advantage of the time she had to ladle up dumpling soup and watched the commotion for a while.

After the Gong siblings finished their dumplings, Gong Yu patted his bulging belly. He hadn't felt this full and satisfied in a long time.

He couldn't help but look at his older sister and said, "Sister, these dumplings are so delicious! They're even better than Mom's…"

Gong Yunshu patted her younger brother's head and softly replied.

Gong Yu asked carefully, "Sister, can we live here forever The people here are so kind, they treated our wounds and even gave us dumplings to eat..."

Gong Yunshu's hand paused for a long time before she said, "Take the medicine in a while and go to sleep early. You don't need to worry about these things."

Two updates first, one more around 6 o'clock.with silver! The sons and grandsons of the people can go replace them to kill barbarians, to shed blood and sacrifice, but they cannot even get their military pensions!"“Right, the Lord’s words are tr...
