The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 51 Don't Regret This Choice
No matter how you look at it, the two-year-old Mengmeng struggling to hold a football-sized car toy and hand it to another little boy who is half a head taller than her is a bit discordant.

But it did happen right in front of my eyes.

Dongdong's eyes fell on this car toy and he couldn't move away.

It can be seen that he likes this toy very much, but he doesn't know how to communicate with people, which makes him a little embarrassed to take it.

"Brother, here!" Mengmeng took another step forward: "It's so heavy."

"Dongdong, take it quickly, thank you sister." Li Xiaojuan coaxed him.

But Cheng Tiandong is really not good at communication, he bit his lip, his eyes were still on the toy car, he grabbed his grandma's clothes with one hand, looked back at grandma, then at his cousin Mengmeng, but couldn't open his mouth.

Mengmeng couldn't hold her anymore, and when she didn't pay attention, the toy car fell to the ground with a bang.

Mengmeng also said "Ouch", but fortunately she is not tall and the toy did not break.

Seeing that the car toy fell on the ground, Dongdong didn't hesitate this time, and quickly squatted down to pick it up and hugged it in his arms: "Thank you...thank you!"

"Hee hee." Mengmeng smiled very happily when she heard her cousin say thank you.

Li Xiaojuan led the two of them home with each other.

"Mom, your stewed chicken is almost dry. I added some hot water." Cheng Xiaolin just came out of the kitchen, and when she saw her mother come in, she said to her.

"I just talked to you and forgot to watch the pot." Li Xiaojuan said.

She asked her daughter: "Have you tasted it? It's almost ready."

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "It's fine for me to eat, but Dongdong and Mengmeng are useless, let's stew for a while."

This is also a very ordinary small farmyard, with a structure of red bricks and cement boards. The yard is quite large, and the things in the yard are categorized and arranged neatly.

Cao Shujie replaced his wife from the kitchen: "Go and talk to our mother, let me watch."

Seeing his nephew Cheng Tiandong coming in with his daughter Mengmeng holding a toy car, he thought his nephew was well, Cao Shujie waved at him, but Cheng Tiandong was still the same as before, turned his head to look at him, and then remained silent.

"It's a bit withdrawn." Cao Shujie looked at this nephew and said to himself.

He knew what was going on in his heart, but he couldn't control this matter.

The aroma of the chicken in the pot came, Cao Shujie looked at the time, lifted the lid of the pot and picked up a piece to taste, the meat would crumble as soon as he bit into it.

"Start the pot." Cao Shujie turned off the gas stove, and went directly to the north room with the pot.

When eating, Li Xiaojuan is busy, let her grandson and granddaughter eat first, she is not in a hurry.

At this time, Cheng Xiaolin discovered something.

Holding a spoon in her hand, her daughter took a small bowl and pulled the meat into her mouth by herself.

But her nephew Cheng Tiandong sat there obediently, waiting for grandma to feed him.

He is a little over 3 years old, so it cannot be said that this is wrong, but with Mengmeng as a comparison, you can see the difference between them.

Li Xiaojuan took another piece of meat and stuffed it into Mengmeng's mouth, but Mengmeng refused: "Grandma, mother Buddha, eat by yourself."

Mengmeng was eating chicken, and her speech was slurred.

Li Xiaojuan said 'it's okay', and was thinking about stuffing the chicken into her granddaughter's mouth again, when Cheng Xiaolin said, "Mom, we won't feed it, just let Mengmeng eat it by himself."

Hearing what her daughter said, Li Xiaojuan gave up. She was going to feed her grandson again. Cheng Xiaolin was helpless: "Mom, Dongdong is so big, can't he eat it by himself?"

"It's useless, he doesn't eat well. If you don't care, he can eat for half an hour at a time." Li Xiaojuan said.

Cheng Xiaolin wanted to refute, but her husband pulled her clothes, and Cao Shujie shook her head, signaling her to stop talking and eat.

After the meal, let Mengmeng take her cousin Cheng Tiandong to play in the yard, Cheng Xiaolin then spoke out what was in her heart.

Obviously, Li Xiaojuan is not an ignorant person, she also understands the truth, but actually doing it is another matter.

"Mom, can't Yingying come back? Or let the two of them find some jobs nearby." Cheng Xiaolin made a suggestion.

"It's really not possible, I contracted some land to plant fruit trees at home." She said.

Li Xiaojuan gave her a blank look: "Linlin, don't think that your mother-in-law's family is making money by planting fruit trees, and everyone else is also making money. It's not that easy."

Obviously, this doesn't work, and some things are not as easy as imagined.

But during dinner, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin noticed that their nephew Dongdong looked much more lively. Under Li Xiaojuan's teaching, he knew how to call 'aunt' and 'uncle'.

Seeing the changes in her grandson, Li Xiaojuan was very happy. She could tell that when her grandson played with her granddaughter, her mood improved a lot.

But it is impossible for her granddaughter to stay here to play with her grandson for a long time, it is simply unrealistic.

In the evening, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were resting in the room Li Xiaojuan had tidied up, while Mengmeng was practicing somersaults on the bed.

She was very cautious, and only after her head touched the quilt, she curled up into a ball and rolled forward.

After the somersault succeeded, Mengmeng said excitedly: "Dad, you come too."

Cao Shujie was embarrassed. With his old waist, he might be useless.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't help laughing beside her, she hugged her daughter over: "Mengmeng, stop making trouble, your father is useless, it's useless."

"I can!" Mengmeng emphasized again, staring at her parents, begging for praise.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin also complied with her wish. Looking at the little girl who is so easily satisfied, and thinking about the nephew who doesn't talk much, the couple have some insights in their hearts.

"Husband, I think it's right for us to come back. It doesn't mean how much money we have to earn a year. Mengmeng has to go to school in the capital, as long as our family is happy." Cheng Xiaolin said.

The comparison between her daughter and nephew made her feel more and more the correctness of their choice this time.

How is the capital?
From all aspects, whether it is the convenience of life, the space for personal development, or education, it must be very good.

But her husband was always busy in the capital, his body was visibly weak and his spirit was not in the state, and they didn't have more time to spend with Mengmeng.

Unlike now, after no more internal friction, it seems that all cruxes have been resolved.

Her husband's spirit is getting better and better, and his body is much healthier than when he was in the capital. Now they can basically grow up with Mengmeng every day, which is very good!
As for how much money she makes, she always feels that it is enough to spend, even if she earns more money, so what if she is exhausted?
……

The next afternoon, Cao Shujie and his family of three had lunch at his mother-in-law's house, and then drove away under the reluctant eyes of his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan.

As the car went away, Cao Shujie glanced back in the rearview mirror, only to realize that his nephew Cheng Tiandong was the one who reacted the most.

He grabbed grandma's hand and jumped up and down, trying to push their car.

Seeing this scene, Cao Shujie sighed, but he also knew that even if they stayed for two more days, it would be of no use, and the symptoms would not be cured.

"Husband, shall we go home directly? I'll call our mother first." Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "Go to Ji Guangyou first, and settle the money for the fruit tree seedlings."

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xiaolin didn't say anything else.

Mengmeng may have been playing with her cousin in the morning and didn't sleep well. She fell asleep lying on her mother's lap not long after getting in the car.

Cheng Xiaolin smoothed her daughter's hair with her hands, and was very satisfied when she saw her peaceful appearance while sleeping.
