Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Standing by Your Side

Having said that, he turned and directly pushed aside the door curtain, striding away!

Lu Thirteen wanted to remind him to be mindful of his reputation, but considering his temperament, he probably wouldn’t care unless he had a full-blown bad reputation and no place to bury his body!

“Lu Taining…ha ha. How could I, Lu Thirteen, not value my life? It is exactly because I want to survive, that…I’m willing to risk my life. I hope…everything changes from now on!”

She tightly held the hairpin in her hand, the tail of which had pierced her palm, but she didn’t feel it.

Her eyes were fixedly staring at the constantly swaying door curtain!

Elsewhere.

Di Xuan was also laying in bed, spacing out.

Hearing a knock on the door, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

A moment later, the room door was gently pushed open, and the room immediately lit up.

Di Yelei placed the lampstand on the small table and looked down at Di Xuan sleeping at the head of the bed, remaining silent for quite a while.

The fact that his eyes were tightly closed, yet the pupils were still moving, indicated that he was not asleep at all and was merely avoiding Di Yelei.

Di Yelei gently sat on the edge of the bed and tucked him in.

“Xuan’er, as for who saved you, you don’t want to tell its alright, but you must understand one thing — you’re still young. Be careful not to make mistakes or go down the wrong path. Sometimes, if you take a wrong step, you can retrieve your footing. However, sometimes, any misstep could bring disaster not only to yourself but also to your family and clan. Remember! Remember!”

Having said that, he stood up, picked up the candlestick, and then turned back again.

“Should you encounter any insurmountable challenges, don’t forget that I am your father, and I will always stand by your side!”

Di Yelei looked at the small figure at the head of the bed, which remained motionless, sighed quietly, and left the room.

Outside, the sky had started to lightly snow again!

It was such a cold day!

Early the next morning, Liu Sisi woke up to a bunch of shouting.

Upon getting up, she saw that everyone was busy unloading goods.

Old Cheng had originally set up the cart to enter the backyard through the side door of the shop, but the cargo on the carriage was stuck in the small alley. There were people and carriages travelling behind and in front of him, so Old Cheng was anxious and shouted twice.

Everyone pitched in to help move the supplies into the house.

Liu Sisi realized that the items on the carriage were all newly bought essentials, for instance, her father’s rocking chair, water buckets, and pot…

It was manageable on the first day she arrived, but it’s not a good idea to compromise every day. So, Di Yelei went shopping early in the morning.

When all the items were moved, Di Yelei dusted off his clothes.

“You’re awake, why not sleep in a bit? You look so tired, apparently, you didn’t sleep well.”

Liu Sisi shook her head: “I’m already awake. What about Xuan? Did he say anything last night?”

“He didn’t say anything and my questioning was to no avail. I thought about it, and well, he’s grown up and not entirely under parental control anymore. I told him to be more cautious when he’s out and ensure his own safety. He agreed.”

Liu Sisi nodded, “Yes, that would be good…”

Beyond this, she didn’t know what else to say.

“I’ll go back to the village later to chop some bamboo strips. When I have some free time, I’ll weave some dustpans and trays. Those things are easy to weave, and I can finish them in my spare time in the evening. I also plan to bring Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua over. As for the rabbits and chicks, there probably won’t be many left after this winter anyway, so I might as well butcher them and bring them over. What do you think?”

Liu Sisi thought carefully, “We’ve butchered the chicks and rabbits several times already. There should still be 14 chicks and 6 rabbits. This courtyard is big enough, why don’t we clear up the space next to the stable in the courtyard? You can weave a few large cages and keep them all there.”

Di Yelei slapped his thigh: “Sisi thinks more comprehensively than I do. The area near the outflow of the stable, is perfect for raising chicks and rabbits. It’s a waste to leave such a big yard empty.”

Once the decision was made, Di Yelei didn’t even bother to eat, “Let’s go out and buy some steamed buns to deal with this meal. Your body is important, so you should rest well.”

Liu Sisi only had time to take a close look at the layout of the courtyard today, after being busy greeting neighbors all day yesterday.

Although this is a courtyard with a shop, there is actually a small door on the side. Liu Sisi hasn’t figured out what to do with the shop in the front yet, so she simply hasn’t opened the shop, and everyone enters and exits through the small door.

The small courtyard is built according to the layout of a courtyard. The house is lined in a row in the front, the storage room is opposite and to the side of the house, and the stable is at the downwind.

The stable in the courtyard was there when they moved in, indicating that the previous owner must have kept horses. Although the stable looks a little dilapidated, it had been repaired.

Liu Sisi was busy making breakfast.

She had slept until daybreak yesterday because she was too tired. Making Di Yelei and Old Cheng hungry and busy today was very inconsiderate of her.

She always liked cleanliness, and the reason she made dumplings yesterday was partly to minimize the use of kitchen utensils. Today, while she was cooking, she was cleaning at the same time, cleaning the inside and the outside again thoroughly.

It wasn’t until breakfast was ready, that she stepped out of the kitchen to call everyone to eat.

She didn’t know what Di Yelei and Xuan’er had talked about last night, but when Liu Sisi went to wake him up, he was obviously very sleepy.

On the contrary, YingEr and Da Mao were no longer in their rooms early in the morning. After searching the four corners of the building…

Gosh!

YingEr and Da Mao were sitting in the clinic diagonally opposite, gulping down their breakfast. Sitting next to Old He, grinning from ear to ear, who else could it be but her father?

When she thought about it, her father had lived a life of abundance in Di Family, but he didn’t have someone to talk to. He had been stifled.

Now that he’s come to this small town and seen Old He, like an old friend, he seems more lively. No wonder he came to the shop so early in the morning!

Naturally, Liu Sisi greeted him, “Good morning, Old He! Good morning, Dad and everyone.”

Old He turned his head and looked at Liu Sisi with a big smile, ” Sisi! It’s just the right time for you to come! Come on, sit down and have some meal with us. What do you think?”

“Old He, Sisi also cooked meals and is waiting for Dad and the children at the house. We got up so late today that we missed breakfast time…”

Liu Sisi said this with a little embarrassment.

“No problem, you just moved here yesterday and must be tired. It’s better for you and the children to lie down more…”

Old He could not stop preaching.

Looking at YingEr and Da Mao, her little follower, eating happily, and her father watching over them here, Liu Sisi had a light chat for a while, then excused herself from Old He and went back to the courtyard.
