Chapter 353: Settling Xiaocao

Wang Yuanchao had no choice, he also knew that this was not a very moral thing to do.

I had to coax my little sister with a shameless face:
"The child is innocent, right? You said, my second brother has already said that your niece is like a little mouse, how can I not feel sorry for her?"

Wang Li glared at him fiercely, walked out the door, and immediately regained his calm expression.

She felt that her third brother definitely came back not just to kowtow to her parents.

snort!
A talented and romantic man, a talented and romantic man, the third brother is talented, but...ah.

She will definitely not look for a talented man in the future.

……

Yu Li took half a day off from work. She first took a good bath in the bathhouse and washed her whole body carefully inside and out. Then she went home and took her child out, saying that she was going to her sister Yu Haitang's house to get some food for the child.

Of course the third aunt was happy to do so, and cheerfully told Yu Li that it would be best for her to stay over there for the night, as they had deep sisterly love, and exchange experiences in raising and educating children, and she could also come back early the next morning!
This not only saves a dinner, but also a breakfast for tomorrow.

Yu Haitang is a broadcaster at the steel mill. Her husband Xu Damao is also a cadre at the steel mill. Their family conditions are very good! They can't compare with the Wang family across the street, but they are much better than the Yan family.

Besides, Xu Damao is not a good guy either. Eating more from their family can be considered as revenge for those who have been bullied by him!
In fact, the third aunt wanted her eldest son Yan Jiecheng to go with her for a meal.

In the past in Siheyuan, Xu Damao had to recruit allies to deal with Sha Zhu, or use connections to pursue Yu Haitang, so he had to pretend to be friendly with the Yan family.

Later, Xu Damao moved out of the courtyard house and had the status of a cadre. He really looked down on the cowardly Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng went to his house for dinner once. After all, they were brothers-in-law, so Xu Damao gave him a lecture, asking him why they didn’t separate the family business!
Yan Jiecheng couldn't stand Xu Damao's arrogance. A brother-in-law actually taught his brother-in-law a lesson! Don't go there again, you can't afford to lose face.

The Yan family also doesn't want Yan Jiecheng to go there again. What if Xu Damao instigates them to split up the family? What should they do?
Yu Li didn't care. As a woman, what dignity did she need? She would go there once or twice a month, just to satisfy her child's cravings.

Moreover, Yu Li also had some private money, so she could buy some gifts for Yu Haitang's family. Xu Damao's family would not think that this relative came to eat and drink for free, and they would always treat him with some meat. Xu Damao also wanted to save face, so he didn't care about this.

After going out, Yu Li took a bus and rushed to Wang Yuanchao's small courtyard.

……

Squeezing into Wang Yuanchao's courtyard, Wang Yuanchao saw the skinny little child. He really looked like a little mouse, just as his second brother said.

His heart was in a knot, and his brows were twisted into a knot:

"Your family wouldn't be short of food for this child, right? How old is she? She's not going to make me poor."

Yu Li was a little annoyed to see that Wang Yuanchao's eyes were fixed on the child, not even glancing at her own fragrant bath. She said:
"Old stingy Yan, Old stingy Yan, what kind of character is Old stingy Yan's family? You are from the same compound, don't you know?
If I had known their family was like this, I would never have married them even if I was beaten to death!"

Wang Yuanchao then glanced at Yu Li, who was speaking in a threatening manner, and found that she had dressed up a little better than yesterday. Hehe, this woman!

"Come on, you two can take a rest first. I'll make chicken soup for you and meat porridge for the child."

Wang Yuanchao took action personally to make up for the regret he felt for his daughter.

Yu Li held the child in her arms and followed him like a tail, watching him serve soup and porridge.

The golden chicken soup, the golden chicken skin, the fragrant aroma, not only made her greedy, but even her well-behaved daughter was seduced by the smell and became restless, saying incoherently:
"Eat, eat, eat!"

Yu Li wanted to feed the child soup first, and Wang Yuanchao said:

"You eat first, I'll feed you!"

Yu Li glanced at him doubtfully:
"You will?"

Wang Yuanchao raised his eyes:
"I'm good at taking care of children!"

He is taking care of his son Wang Xiao in Hong Kong. Don't be too familiar with his movements. It's just that under normal circumstances, when it's not his turn to take care of the child, everyone else rushes to do it.

He skillfully took the child from Yu Li's arms and deliberately rubbed Yu Li's plump breasts, which made Yu Li roll her eyes at him.

"Xiaohong, be good. Daddy will feed you some chicken soup."

He held the child in his left hand, took a spoon in his right hand, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, blew on it, and carefully fed it into the child's mouth.

The child was very well behaved and drank the chicken soup in one gulp.

You even have to grab the soup bowl yourself.

Wang Yuanchao was so scared that he quickly pushed the bowl of soup away. Although the soup was not boiling hot, it was not good to get his clothes wet.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move, wait for daddy to feed you!"

Yu Li looked at his flustered look and chuckled:
"Why are you so reluctant to put salt in this chicken soup?"

Wang Yuanchao glanced at her unhappily and said:
"It tastes bland. My child is still young and his kidneys are not fully developed. He can't eat too much salt!"

Yu Li hissed:
"If you want to deduct even this little bit of salt, can I add some to the soup myself?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Add some to your own bowl!"

Yu Li picked up the bowl and walked to the kitchen, smiling, "Got it!"

Yan Xianghong drank half a bowl of chicken soup, while Yu Li drank a large bowl and ate a bowl of chicken. She also complained to Wang Yuanchao:

"Look at you, you gave me so much!"

Wang Yuanchao said unhappily:
"Who was eating so happily just now? Hold the child, I'll make her some milk powder. You should learn from her. It's best to have one meal in the morning and one in the evening. If you really can't, you must ensure one meal a day."

"Pour four tablespoons of water, about a cup of warm water, not hot water. You can drink it directly. Stir it well!" Yu Li saw that Wang Yuanchao's action of mixing milk was much more skillful than the action of feeding soup just now, and said:
"How am I going to explain this milk powder when I take it home?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Put it in your own room and lock it in the cupboard. If it doesn't work, just feed it at night and let it sleep! Pour out the water in the kettle and let it air dry for a while, isn't that right? You don't even need to light a fire!
Damn it, my own child should eat some good food, but you still act like a thief, what kind of world is this!"

Yu Li rolled her eyes and said:
"You slept with someone else's wife and asked them to help you raise your children, and you still think you can handle it!"

Wang Yuanchao handed the bottle to Yan Xianghong. The child held the bottle, raised it high and started sucking consciously.

Yu Li held the baby's bottle with one hand and said with concern:

"Don't you want to eat something?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I'm not hungry. I didn't know when you would come over, so I made a bowl of chicken noodle soup and ate a few bites."

Yu Li chewed and said:

"You just made a couple of bites of this and it's just chicken noodle soup... By the way, didn't you fall into the river? How come you're back? No wonder I saw your family going out to visit relatives yesterday. So you're the ones who came to visit, right?"

Wang Yuanchao said half-truthfully:

“I’m lucky!
He was washed down the river for more than ten miles and was rescued by a passing ship.

The ship was heading to Hong Kong, and took me there. I stayed there, married a few wives, and lived a comfortable life by living on meager food.

Yu Li was not very familiar with the situation in Hong Kong; the city was too far away and unfamiliar.

But previous textbooks had talked about the Opium War, and previous newspapers had also reported on the situation there, so I knew that it was a colony of the John people.

Including the wives mentioned by Wang Yuanchao, she said:

"You? A gigolo? I won't believe it even if you kill me! It's too dangerous for you to come back like this."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Oh, you still care about me!"

Yu Li pursed her lips:

"I am very grateful that you remembered to come and see us. Although we don't have much to eat, we are not starving to death. But you came back like this, and you said before that you drowned in the river. You will be regarded as an enemy spy!"

Wang Yuanchao held Yu Li and her daughter in his arms and said:
"Since you care so much about me, I will come back to visit you even more.

My sister Wang Li knows about our affairs, because I can only ask her to help take care of you, but my two brothers don’t know about it, and my parents don’t know either, so you must be careful.

I opened a pharmacy in Hong Kong and often went to Guangzhou to buy things at the Canton Fair, so I met my brother and his friends in Guangzhou in advance. They talked to me about their hometown and naturally talked about the poor little Hong.

My second brother said she was as thin as a little mouse. I was so worried, you know? So I had to come back to see her! Even if it was secretly!"

Yu Li was strong now and said:
"Compared to your Wang family, of course they are little mice, not that miserable! But your eldest brother's daughter is called Wenhong, and our daughter is called Xianghong, this is really..."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Do you have a nickname?"

Yu Lidao:
"I named her Xiaocao... Xiaocao is the most humble."

Wang Yuanchao murmured a few words, "Xiao Cao, Xiao Cao, it sounds pretty nice, yeah. By the way, keep these money and notes first. If you need money, go find my sister. I've told her everything."

Yu Li looked at the thick money and bills that Wang Yuanchao stuffed in, and this time she didn't refuse, but just said;

“I had a hard time hiding the little money you gave me before, but now I have nowhere to hide this much money.

Besides, I can’t spend it all.”

Wang Yuanchao smiled crookedly and said:
"Who cleans up your house? If you clean up, you still can't find a place to hide?

Yan Jiecheng can’t do housework, right?

Except for my eldest brother, I have never seen any man in our courtyard doing housework. "

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Your two sisters-in-law are so lucky! Your eldest brother is considerate, and your second brother is capable, unlike me, who only enjoyed a few moments of pleasure with you."

Wang Yuanchao chuckled twice. This woman is still thinking about his flesh!

"We have to feed the child first. I'll give her some meat porridge. After she's full, she should be ready to fall asleep!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Li cried out "Ah!", and Wang Yuanchao quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Li looked worried and said:
“She peed!

I don't even have diapers!

I told my family that I was going to Haitang's house. Her son is a few days younger than Xiaocao, so I can borrow him!"

Wang Yuanchao waved his hand, took out a towel and said:
"Use this first!"

Yu Li said distressedly:
"You are really willing to give...we all have old pieces of clothing."

Wang Yuanchao took the diaper and said:
"I'll go and rub the diaper and put it on the kang to warm it up. It will be dry soon!"

Well, at least as a father, I have washed my daughter's diapers and done my best to take care of her!
