206 Think of a Way
“I have. The balloons are fun!” Xiaobei was overjoyed at the mention of the balloons. “Mother, are you planning to give the balloons to Xiaobei?”
Ning Yue took out a balloon and shook her head at Xiaobei. “Mother didn’t take this balloon out for Xiaobei to play with. She wanted Xiaobei to understand something.”
“Take a look.” She brought a basin of water from outside. The balloon was small and couldn’t hold much water.
As the two children watched, she filled the balloon with all the water. The moment she finished, the balloon exploded.
“Xiaobei’s stomach is like this little balloon. It can’t hold so much water. In the end, it will only explode. Xiaobei, do you know why your brother doesn’t let you eat so much?”
Xiaobei was still in shock. When she came back to her senses, she cried, “Xiaobei was wrong. Xiaobei will never eat again.”
Hearing Xiaobei’s cries, Ning Yue’s heart ached again. She hugged Xiaobei. “Xiaobei, it’s not that I don’t want you to eat. How can you grow taller if you don’t eat? What I mean is that you have to have a certain amount of food. After eating your fill, you have to eat less snacks.”
“After you feel full, don’t eat so much. Your stomach won’t explode then.” Ning Yue coaxed Xiaobei softly.
Xiaobei sobbed for a while before she calmed down.
“Mother, Xiaobei knows his mistake.” Xiaobei leaned into Ning Yue’s arms in a low mood.
Ning Yue’s heart ached. She didn’t say anything serious and only said to her, “As long as Xiaobei remembers. Don’t eat so much next time.”
Xiaobei sobbed and fell asleep in Ning Yue’s arms. Xiaobao also lay on the bed obediently and watched his mother coax his sister to sleep.
Of the two children, although Xiaobao was only a few minutes older than Xiaobei, he was as sensible as an adult.
Most of the time, Ning Yue, as a mother, did not have to worry. He could eat by himself and learn to walk and change his clothes.
Although they were all things that children of his age could do, he learned almost all of them after being taught once by adults.
After knowing it, he had almost never asked the adults for help. He was smart and sensible. Xiaobei was not as mature as Xiaobao. Sometimes, she would even wheedle with the adults.
Putting down the sleeping Xiaobei, Ning Yue kissed the two children gently on the cheek.
When she woke up the next day, Ning Yue opened her eyes and saw Xiaobao and Xiaobei smiling at her. She couldn’t help but smile.
She brought the two children to the front hall. Madam He and her sisters-in-law had already prepared breakfast.
“Yueyue, can you bring your grandmother and me to work today? Our bones are about to fall apart if we stay at home. We feel like useless idlers who only know how to eat and not do anything,” Xin Xin said to Ning Yue with a smile.
Ning Yue originally wanted to refuse, but at this point, what else could she say?
“We’re going to the fields to see the harvest today,” Ning Yue said.
They wouldn’t follow her to the fields, right?
“Alright, alright! Let’s go, go, go. I want to go!” Before Xin Xin could speak, the Empress Dowager couldn’t take it anymore.
She had never worked in the field in her life. Of course she had to go if she had the chance.
The smile on Ning Yue’s face froze. This was not logical!
“I’ve already ordered someone to forge a small hoe. I was just waiting for Yueyue to bring us there,” Xin Xin said with a smile.
The tools were already prepared. What else could she say? Ning Yue could only nod in agreement.
After everyone ate, they rested for a while before starting to work. Xin Xin and the Empress Dowager both carried small bamboo baskets on their backs and hoes and shovels.
After Ning Yue settled the two children down, she brought them to the fields to work. The three of them arrived at the place where the potatoes were planted. Before Ning Yue could speak, the empress dowager asked impatiently, “Yueyue, teach us how to farm.”
Ning Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry. The Empress Dowager was farming? If word got out, it would scare the ministers.
The Empress Dowager and Xin Xin were too free. They couldn’t possibly follow them to the fields every time, right?
She was willing, but the crown prince and emperor were not.
At the thought of this, Ning Yue began to worry. What could she do to not let these two people run out?
Xin Xin was fine as long as she was given a few novels. However, the Empress Dowager did not like to read novels. What could she do?
After thinking about it, Ning Yue suddenly remembered that there was a national treasure in her previous life called mahjong!
With this solution, she would just have to wait for it to be implemented.
