On the other hand, men from each family also led their children back to the yard.
When Mrs. Yao Er heard that her son and daughter had made such great contributions, she immediately laughed: "So amazing?! Brother Hong, Sister Ling, you are so handsome."
As he said that, he hugged a son and a daughter.
Yao Anhong is already old and knows what a difference between men and women is. I feel embarrassed to let Mrs. Yao hug her and dodge her with a red face.
Yao Anling is a girl, so she was afraid that her mother would hug her for a while, so she snuggled in Mrs. Yao's arms and smiled happily: "Mom, this is my credit. If I hadn't been responsible for the old lady's questionnaire, we wouldn't have completed our homework so well. Like my father and uncle, they were not as good as my brother and I..."
"Oh, my good daughter, then you are really amazing! Even your father has been compared by you. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Me..." Yao Anling smiled, "I want my mother to reward me with money."
"What do you want money? I usually don't have shorts and you can eat it, but you can wear it. Why, what do you want to buy? If you want to buy something, just tell me, my mother will buy it for you." Mrs. Yao Er was happy and was extremely generous in her actions.
"I do want to buy something, but I don't want my mother to buy it for me. I want to buy it myself." Compared to what I want, Yao Anling thinks that money is more reliable.
What you want to buy may be this thing now, and that thing now, but the money is different. If you look like this, what can you buy?
"Okay, then I'll give you silver, how about I'll give you ten taels of silver?"
"Mom, are you too stingy? The old lady rewarded us more than ten taels..." Yao Anling calculated for Mrs. Yao Er, how much money is the first place set by the old lady, how much can each get?
Anyway, no matter how much she divided, she got more than what her mother gave her.
Mrs. Yao was so amused that she kept increasing the amount to fifty taels, which made Yao Anling feel relieved.
She smiled and pointed her daughter's nose: "You little money fan!"
Of course, not only Yao Anling was rewarded, but also Yao Anhong also rewarded Yao Anhong. However, compared to the money Yao Anling asked for, Yao Anhong got a square inkstone.
"Thank you mother!"
Yao Anhong stood up and said respectfully.
When Yao Anling learned that the things her mother gave her brother were not as valuable as her own money, she proudly raised her chin to her brother.
--hey-hey!
——Now I know, who is the most favored in our family?
Although Yao Anling is very protective of her brother when she is outside, Yao Anling still prefers to compete for favor at her at home.
She has always regarded herself as Mrs. Yao Er’s favorite daughter. As long as it is related to "competition for favor", she wants to suppress her brother.
Yao Anhong was a little helpless about this. He was almost five years older than his sister. You can't be angry with his sister because of such a thing, right?
Besides, no matter how much his mother spoiled his sister, his sister would only stay in this family until she was a teenager, and she would become someone else's family as soon as she got old. Yao Anhong hoped that Yao Anling would be more favored at home, otherwise she would not be able to enjoy it when she got married.
Next door, Mrs. Yao’s yard.
There is only one daughter like Yao Anxin in the big house, so there is no question of whether to compete for favor or not. Mrs. Yao asked the people below to cook a table of dishes that Yao Anxin likes.
When she learned that she was praised by the old lady, she defeated her father in this "homework" and won the first place, Mrs. Yao also praised her daughter fiercely.
Yao Anxin is already twelve years old. Although she is proud, her face is a little embarrassed to be praised. She said that this is everyone's credit, not her own.
"Another everyone's, don't you have a credit for you? Come on, this is your favorite food..." Mrs. Yao picked up a chopstick dish for her, "Eat more, you and your father have worked hard these days."
"Thank you mother!" Yao Anxin thanked obediently.
After dinner, Yao Anxin returned to the house to do the homework assigned by her husband. Only then did Mr. Yao ask Mr. Yao about the details of today.
Uncle Yao did not hide it, and came one by one.
"It sounds like the old lady is indeed reasonable," Mrs. Yao, who is from a scholarly family, thought a little more. She said thoughtfully, "When a child was born, he didn't know anything, so he had to teach everything slowly? For example, when he chose a wet nurse or a maid for Sister Xin, there are some considerations, just hoping to choose a good one so that she won't learn bad things... As I said this, in fact, all aspects of life are a kind of learning, but we didn't have that clear consciousness before, and we only knew that it was right to do that, but we didn't know why."
"Yes, I didn't expect that there was such a great deal of knowledge in raising children." Mr. Yao sighed, "It's considered to be a trick. When we have a small one in the future, we can use it."
Mrs. Yao paused.
Uncle Yao noticed something strange and sighed in his heart. He stepped forward and held Mrs. Yao's hand and said, "I have no other meaning. I just want to say that if I have the chance, I will try the method I said is also good."
Mrs. Yao shook her head gently at him: "I know, I'm just a little worried... I'm having a hard time getting pregnant, and you've encountered such a thing again, I'm afraid..."
"There is nothing to worry about. Didn't my mother ask us for magic medicine? If God destined that we only have Sister Xin, then we should treat Sister Xin well. In fact, it's nothing. Even if I don't have children, I have the second and third brothers, and the incense of the Yao family will not be stopped by me."
"Master, I have thought, if... I mean if," Mrs. Yao said in a complicated manner, "If there is no good news here after the New Year, I will arrange for you a few maids who are more likely to get pregnant... As long as there is good news, even if I am a illegitimate child, I will accept it."
If she could get pregnant herself, Mrs. Yao naturally didn't want other women to give birth to Mr. Yao's children, but now she can't give birth to them, and there is only Yao Anxin in their room.
Mrs. Yao was worried and had no brothers to support her. What should I do if Yao Anxin got married and was bullied by her husband's family?
But if she had a illegitimate younger brother, it would be different. Even if the two of them were not close, as long as they were both surnamed "Yao", I think when Yao Anxin encountered difficulties, the illegitimate younger brother would have some thoughts of the old "kindness" and help.
Besides, she would not play a vicious legitimate mother. She would train him well, give him kindness, and try to make him think of more "kindness".
"Yu Niang..." Mr. Yao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her say this. He said, "I know what you mean, but don't worry. We have only taken the medicine for a while. Even if it works, it will not be so fast. The doctor took our pulse. Our bodies are both weak and need to be well-behaved. It is normal to get pregnant slowly... As long as you relax, I believe we will have good news."
But Mr. Yao did not refuse the maid from the room.
After all, he didn't know if Mrs. Yao could get pregnant. She was almost thirty years old. Her physical condition was not easy to get pregnant. As she was older, it would only be even more difficult.
If she really can't get pregnant, he wouldn't have been waiting for her.
