A guide to get married in the 70s

No one knows a child better than his mother. As soon as Li Xiufen saw Ye Mingqiang's expression, she knew what he was thinking about again. She raised her hand and slapped him, "It's a pity that you don't use your brain to write a play. Hurry up and let your brother-in-law come in."

Gu Cheng carried the child into the house.

The child was a little girl, about two years old. Because she was in a strange place, she was a little scared and hugged Gu Cheng's neck tightly.

Gu Cheng sat down on the stool, and she huddled in Gu Cheng's arms. She didn't cry, but blinked her big eyes and looked at this and that.

Without waiting for Ye Huan to ask, Gu Cheng took the initiative to say, "This is my comrade's child, nicknamed Yuanyuan. Her mother was sick and hospitalized, and her father went to the hospital to take care of her. There was no one to take care of the child, so I took her in."

Ye Mingqiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was scared to death.

He took out a bag of fruit leather from the drawer and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

The little girl reached out to take it, and then immediately shrank into Gu Cheng's arms.

Li Xiufen asked Gu Cheng, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll go make some."

Gu Cheng, "Not yet."

Li Xiufen went to the kitchen. It was late, and there was no time to make complicated things. There were noodles at home, so she made a pot of soup noodles.

Ye Mingqiang squatted in front of Yuanyuan and coaxed her to call him "brother". After a long time, Yuanyuan finally called him "brother" in a soft voice. Ye Mingqiang was so happy that his heart was bubbling.

Ye Huan stretched out his hand to Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, come here and ask auntie to hug you."

Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, and then actually went over and snuggled into Ye Huan's arms.

The little girl was sweet and soft, and Ye Huan couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, "Yuanyuan is so good."

Li Xiufen had already prepared the meal, and Ye Huan asked Yuanyuan, "Auntie, can you feed Yuanyuan?"

Yuanyuan nodded.

Li Xiufen served half a bowl of soup noodles and brought it over. Ye Huan picked it up with chopsticks and fed it to Yuanyuan mouthful by mouthful.

The child was young, and shook her head and stopped eating after a few bites.

Gu Cheng didn't mind, he ate the rest in a few bites, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Li Xiufen also liked this child very much, so she said to Gu Cheng, "Let this child sleep with me at night."

She felt that Gu Cheng and Ye Huan had never taken care of a child and had no experience. If the child cried at night, they might not be able to comfort her.

Ye Huan, "Let her sleep with me, Yuanyuan, how about sleeping with auntie at night?"

Yuanyuan nodded.

Li Xiufen, "That's fine, anyway, Gu Cheng is driving, if she makes a fuss at night, you can send her to me if you can't comfort her."

Yuanyuan yawned, obviously sleepy.

Ye Huan, "Then we'll go."

"Okay, let's go."

Li Xiufen sent the three of them to the entrance of the alley, and waited until the car was far away before returning.
