“How is that possible? Ah! Speaking of which, Dou Family really suffered a lifetime.”
Di Yelei sighed and raised his hand to wipe his face.
“Dad and Mom asked me to go hunting in the mountains, so I went up there every day, leaving Dou Family alone at home. It wasn’t until later when Dou Family had a miscarriage and lost her life… then I realized how much suffering she had endured at home. I was young and naive back then…”
Looking at the sentimental Di Yelei, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but sigh.
“Don’t be sad, even though she’s not here anymore, she definitely still hopes for your well-being. In the future, we will treat Xuan’er and YingEr well, and raise them to be adults.” As she spoke, she playfully smeared his face.
He took advantage of the situation to grab her small hand and gently kissed it.
“I understand! In the years after Dou Family’s death, I kept asking myself, what have I missed? I also figured out a lot.”
“What did you figure out?”
Her eyes were bright and twinkling, unblinking as she stared at him, making him unable to help but laugh.
“Of course, I figured out that the daughter-in-law I married is not just for show but to be cherished and pampered. I must treat her well and not let her be wronged. Most importantly, our children must be born safely…”
“Yes! Surely it will!”
Liu Sisi held his hand back, her face full of determination.
That lost child had always been a hidden pain in his heart! But at this moment, in the arms of this little woman, his wounds seemed to have miraculously healed.
“Yes! This is our child, it will definitely be! Definitely…”
How she fell asleep again, Liu Sisi didn’t know.
She woke up in the scent of sweetness, Di Yelei was busy making sugar, while Liu Zhi’er was helping him by the side.
At the moment, he was cooling the cooked glutinous rice on the bamboo strips, then adding the cut germinated barley malt to ferment, then pressing it to get maltose.
“Sisi, Sisi, are you awake? The medicine soup is ready and is over there for you to drink.”
Liu Sisi drowsily walked out, heard Liu Zhi’er talking, and quickly responded.
Seeing the maltose the two were making, Liu Sisi thought: “We’re out of the white gourd candy we made last time. With the New Year coming soon, why don’t we buy another white gourd and make some? I saw that the Chen Family outside the village had some, why don’t we buy one to make?”
Di Yelei thought: “It’s already finished? We’ll have to make some more white gourd candy. It can not only be stored, but also used for entertaining guests and ourselves later.”
“That’s what I thought! Let’s make some more pastries for ourselves too. I’ve been craving various foods recently.”
Liu Sisi’s tastes have been particularly strange recently, she would crave something but then not want it once it was in her mouth, and then want some other food, going round and round.
“Alright, I’ll go buy the white gourd, you guys just wait. I’ll be back soon.”
While speaking, Di Yelei took off his apron and left the kitchen.
After thinking for a while, Liu Sisi smiled and said to Second Sister: “Second Sister, let’s take advantage of the empty pot and make some pastries. Let’s check if any chinese chives have grown, and let’s make some chive pies. I’m craving them today.”
