Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 6 Let Dad Hug You

Wu Ni was still resisting, but under the power of Chen Weidong, she could only stay in his arms obediently.

Looking at the little baby in his arms, Chen Weidong felt warm in his heart.

Kiss and pinch.

"Woooooo~"

The little guy wanted to hide but couldn't, so he let Chen Weidong do whatever he wanted.

Fortunately, the little guy saw that his butt was fine, and slowly became active again in Chen Weidong's arms.

In fact, Wu Ni was only two and a half years old. She didn't understand anything at all. She was just afraid of Chen Weidong when he picked her up.

If it were Da Ni and Er Ni who saw Chen Weidong, they would not dare to run away at all!
"Wuni, what are you looking at behind someone's house?"

Chen Weidong asked again.

"Wu Ni, wait for mom~grandma..."

The little milk ball pointed outside and spoke somewhat clearly.

"You mean mommy went to grandma's place and you're waiting for her here?"

Chen Weidong translated it in his mind and asked.

"Ah."

Wu Ni nodded.

"Dad, I'll carry you home. We're going to have meat at home today. Is Wu Ni happy?"

"I'm happy, but there are no chickens at home! The chickens have been sold."

The little guy said naively.

Finally finishing his sentence, Chen Weidong smiled and said, "It was a pheasant that my father shot in the mountains."

After carrying the little guy back to the yard, Chen Weidong put the little guy down from his arms and took out two pheasants and a half-dead badger from the sack.

The other five children heard the noise and poked their heads out of the kitchen.
Then I saw Chen Weidong coming back with Wu Ni in his arms, and there were pheasants and badgers on the ground.

"Wow! Pheasant!"

"Dad, we caught a pheasant!"

"Sister, what is that?"

Before Chen Weidong could say anything, several young children gathered around him and talked to the pheasant and badger in a baby voice.

The older children were also very excited, but they were a little scared when they saw their father standing beside them. They all stood aside and watched from a distance, not daring to get too close.

Chen Weidong sighed helplessly, then smiled and waved at them, "Come and see if you want to. We'll all have meat to eat in a bit!"

"Eat meat?"

"really?"

"Great!"

"I want to eat meat!"

Children are children after all, and the little ones cheered loudly, making the joyful atmosphere in the house even stronger.

"Da Ni, Er Ni, boil some hot water to pluck the pheasant. I'm going to go out and look for your mother."

Then Chen Weidong tied up the badger with a rope and said to Dani and Erni.

Children from poor families grow up early. Seven-year-old Da Ni and six-year-old Er Ni are very sensible.
He remembered that during the busy farming season, Chen Weidong and Liu Xueting were working outside, and they took care of their younger sister. Dani was also a great cook.
Sometimes they are the ones who cook when they are too busy. Although they are not as tall as the stove, they can stand on a stool to cook. Simple tasks like boiling water are no problem for them. Hearing Chen Weidong's words, Dani and Erni responded and ran to the kitchen.

Chen Weidong sighed and walked out.

He had separated from his parents a long time ago. His parents' house was in the middle of the village, opposite his eldest brother's house.
Chen Weidong is the youngest child. He has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married.

……

As soon as Chen Weidong arrived at his parents' house, he heard a harsh voice coming from inside the house: "Why haven't you sent the child away yet? I've worked so hard to find a good family for the child through my connections, why don't you send him there quickly?"

"Mom, Weidong said he doesn't want to send the child away!" At this time, another timid voice came.

"No, this is not your idea. If you can't give birth to a son, would Weidong have lived such a hard life?"

You gave birth to six money-losing babies in a row. You have brought shame to our family!"

"Mom, they are also a piece of flesh that fell from my body."

"Are you going to argue with me? You haven't been able to give birth to a son in these years. Just look at how others view our family."

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Weidong saw his mother pointing at Liu Xueting and scolding her, while his wife looked pale and had tears in her eyes.

Chen Weidong was well aware of the ferocity of Northeastern women. He knew that his mother's visit to Liu Xueting must be for no good reason, so he hurried over.

Chen Weidong looked at his mother Wu Xiuqin with a complicated expression. Because he was the youngest, Wu Xiuqin was really good to him.
But it was really son-centric! Because she couldn't give birth to a son, she made things difficult for Liu Xueting.
Even sending Sanni and Sini's children away was Wu Xiuqin's suggestion, in order to relieve his pressure. He knew that Wu Xiuqin was also doing it for his own good.
However, it also led to accidents happening to his wife and Sanni and Sini.

After the accident, Chen Weidong became extremely cold towards Wu Xiuqin because of this incident. After that, he took his children to work outside, and he did not go home even after his mother died.

In his previous life, Chen Weidong was caught in the middle and did not handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law well. He must change this in this life.

"Mom? What are you doing? It was my decision not to send Sanni and Sini away. Why are you making things difficult for Xueting here?"

Chen Weidong stopped his mother Wu Xiuqin and protected Liu Xueting behind him.

Seeing Chen Weidong's actions, Wu Xiuqin and Liu Xueting were both stunned.

"Weidong, you're back? I'm not saying anything to you, but don't scare your wife. Sanni and Sini have to be sent away anyway! You know the situation at home. They're just money-losing goods, so just give them to someone else!"

When Wu Xiuqin saw her son, her voice became much gentler.

"Give it away? Why should I give it away? They are all my daughters."

Chen Weidong was almost unable to suppress his anger, but when he looked at the gray hair on Wu Xiuqin's left temple, he held back.

"Mom, they are all my daughters and your granddaughters. Don't talk about losing money anymore. I can raise the children. You don't have to worry about this. Xueting, come home with me!"

Chen Weidong didn't say anything more to his mother and shouted at Liu Xueting to leave.

He knew that it was impossible to convince his mother of such deep-rooted ideas. Instead of wasting time on talking to her, it would be better to let his wife and children fill their stomachs first.

"Weidong..."

Wu Xiuqin wanted to persuade him a little more, but Chen Weidong didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. Although he knew that Wu Xiuqin was doing this for his own good,
But Chen Weidong, who had lived for more than sixty years in his previous life, knew that it was better not to reason with a woman, even if the woman was her mother...

Hey, why should women make things difficult for other women!

Without waiting for Wu Xiufang to finish, he pushed his mother in and said, "Mom, go back and cook. It's already late. My dad will probably be back soon."

Chen Weidong pulled Liu Xueting away. Liu Xueting was from the south and had always been a very weak person.

After giving birth to several daughters, she became even more timid. As soon as the two of them walked out of the yard, Liu Xueting quickly wiped away her tears.

Chen Weidong comforted her, "Don't cry. You know my mother. She is like that. She favors boys over girls. Don't take it to heart."
