Old Mr. Xue, worried about disturbing the mother and child, took Jiang Wanqiu to sit outside.
Jiang Wanqiu admired the flowers in the yard, "It's so pleasant to sit here and drink tea, oh, does it attract bees? Will they sting people?"
Old Mrs. Qin said, "They won't sting if you don't get close."
Xue Sufen asked, "Old Mrs. Qin, may I cut a few flowers?"
Old Mrs. Qin generously replied, "Go ahead and cut some, just not the buds." In the past, when the flowers first bloomed, neighbors would come and ask for some, and she would give them away.
"Oh."
Xue Sufen cut a big bunch and left first.
Bored, Li Qiao thought about going outside, but just as she got up, the baby started to fuss, so she had to lie down again, turning on her side, supporting her head with one hand, and holding his tiny hand with the other, "Do you need me to keep you company?"
The baby opened his mouth but made no sound, cheerfully kicking his legs.
Seeing this, Li Qiao smiled broadly.
