BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124: Complaints_1
Mother Yun, seeing her grandson Little Huzi crying, picks him up to comfort him, but can’t help but worry about why her daughter-in-law has gone out for so long and hasn’t returned yet.
It’s nearly noon, and she still hasn’t come back?
Her little grandson must be hungry.
No matter how much she tries to soothe him, it’s not working.
Mother Yun is increasingly anxious. Her little grandson rarely cries, making her heart ache at the sight of his pitiful crying.
“Your mother, why hasn’t she come back yet? You’re hungry, our little Huzi. Don’t cry, don’t cry, your mother will be back soon, our little Huzi needs his mother.”
Mother Yun sways him, yet the little grandson seems to ignore her and continues crying, which makes Mother Yun even more distressed.
She can’t help but resent her daughter-in-law. Clearly aware that she has a child at home, why hasn’t she returned yet?
Meng Yunhan speeds home on foot. Before reaching the doorstep, she hears the hoarse crying of her son, which only increases her distress, making her quicken her pace.
“Mom, I’m back.”
Seeing her daughter-in-law return and the fine sweat on her forehead, Mother Yun knows she must be very worried, which instantly quells her annoyance.
Meng Yunhan takes her son into her arms, and he stops crying immediately. She quickly takes him to their room to feed him.
Mother Yun finally exhales a sigh of relief when her grandson stops crying.
His silence is better than anything else.
“Hanhan, why did you return so late?” Mother Yun just wants to know why her daughter-in-law has returned so late, making Little Huzi cry for half the day.
Meng Yunhan lowers her gaze to look at her nursing son, then lifts her head to address Mother Yun, “I’ve found meat. I’ll pick it up from the town tomorrow.”
Mother Yun thinks about the upcoming Full Moon Wine celebration, proposed by the elderly couple. Generally, they don’t slaughter pigs at this time, and she really doesn’t know where they are going to get the pork.
“How much per pound?” The meat, which doesn’t require a ticket, is sure to be expensive.
“Not expensive. I still have the money Ahao sent me earlier. There won’t be any problem arranging the Full Moon Wine celebration for Little Huzi.”
Ever since her youngest son got married, Mother Yun has been letting him send money to his wife. Meng Yunhan should still have a few hundred yuan left. This will allow them to hold a good Full Moon Wine celebration for her grandson, Little Huzi.
“Good. You prepare for the meat, and we will handle the grains and vegetables.”
Meng Yunhan nods, looking down at her son.
Mother Yun, seeing her grandson eating happily, realizes it’s late and hurries to cook.
Meng Yunhan pinches her son’s foot, “Little one, your mother just went to town, and you cried so sadly. Our Little Huzi must be a brave little man. You should learn from your father.”
Yun Mingrui, the infant, does not understand. After spending over a month together, he has grown accustomed to his mother’s scent. Having woken from a nap to find his mother gone, he cries desperately.
The next day, Meng Yunhan goes out again. But before leaving, she feeds little Huzi and lulls him to sleep. This time, Mother Yun has also prepared some rice porridge, so if her daughter-in-law is unable to return promptly, they could feed him some porridge to fill his tummy.
Meng Yunhan carries a basket on her back, as usual, which she had filled earlier with thirty pounds of corn flour and twenty pounds of rice. Only close to the alleyway does she carefully place the items into it.
“Comrade, you’re finally here.” The man sees Meng Yunhan and is visibly relieved. After all, in this weather, it’s not suitable to leave the meat sitting out. If the meat goes bad, it would be a total loss.
