Chapter 681: Chapter 681: The First Wife Sold by Her Husband 27

When Yuan Chun woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and Niu Niu was awake. She sat beside her mom, staring into her mom’s eyes.

Yuan Chun opened her eyes, and Niu Niu grinned with joy, "Mom, Mom, you’re awake. Hurry up and get breakfast, Grandma said your meal is kept warm in the pot."

"Where’s your grandma?"

"Grandma and Grandpa are digging the earth, Grandpa said they’re building a house for us again." Niu Niu squinted her eyes as she asked, "Mom, are we going to have a new house to live in?"

"Hmm, does Niu Niu like it?"

Yuan Chun got up, put on a thin cotton jacket and pants.

It’s getting colder day by day in the Northeast November; a few days ago, they wore thin jackets, but now they have to wear thin cotton clothes. Luckily, the ground hasn’t frozen, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to dig the foundation.

Niu Niu nodded her little head like a chick pecking rice, "I like it, Mom, I like living in a new house, and I also like living with Mom."

"Mom, is the house being built for us?"

"Yes, it’s a house for Mom and Niu Niu."

"Mom, does that mean we will have a home in the future?"

"Is Niu Niu really happy?"

"Hmm, happy, Niu Niu is very happy. Mom, Niu Niu will have a home too." Niu Niu joyfully climbed off the kang and ran outside, "Brother, brother, Niu Niu will have a home too."

Yuan Chun heard her daughter’s words, she smiled, but her heart felt a bit sour.

So, little Niu Niu also wanted to have a home of her own?

No matter how good Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, and Aunt are to them, it doesn’t change the fact that they are living under someone else’s roof, without a home of their own.

"Aunt, Aunt, you’re awake."

Little Zhenhua ran in and asked cheerfully, "Aunt, sister said she has a new house to live in. Is it true?"

"It’s true. When the new house next door is finished, your sister and I will move there." Yuan Chun put on her shoes and took her little nephew outside.

Little Zhenhua looked envious, "Aunt, I also want to live in a new house. I want to sleep with sister; Aunt, can I live in your house?"

"And me."

Aunt and nephew arrived in the yard, and the few nephews who were originally squatting there playing with bugs all ran over at once, hugging Yuan Chun’s leg, "Aunt, Aunt, I want to live in your house too."

"Aunt, I can’t bear to be without you and sister. I will live in your house to protect you and sister."

"Yeah, we are all little men; we need to protect Aunt and sister."

The little ones all looked up at Yuan Chun, their eyes shining. Yuan Chun reached out and touched each of their little heads, "When Aunt’s new house is finished, you can all live there; Aunt’s home has two kangs, enough for you to sleep on."

"And big brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, they should come too." Little Zhenhua, pleased with his gain, didn’t forget to negotiate benefits for his brothers studying at school.

Yuan Chun nodded with a smile, "Everyone will go."

If it comes to that, she can sleep at her mom’s place, letting the children sleep there.

Her new house’s kang is only three meters wide, two kangs make six meters wide; with her eleven nephews and one Niu Niu, the kangs would need to squeeze to fit everyone.

Yuan Chun gave each little nephew a piece of fruit candy and then a group of little ones happily continued playing with bugs.

In the pot was a bowl of warm sweet potato porridge, a small plate of stir-fried potato shreds, and a dish of small pickles.

After Yuan Chun finished her meal, she was about to go next door to help when Wang Mu returned.

Wang Mu said, "Your fifth uncle found five people today to come and dig the foundation. We’ll provide one meal at noon; we have cabbage at home, go to Aunt’s house at the village entrance to buy two pieces of tofu and stew it."
