Chapter 256: Chapter 249: Started a Small Stove

As for Lin Yile, she was somewhat interested, and it would be even better if Xu Miaomiao could bring her over.

Xu Miaomiao mentioned this at night, and as a result, the next day, Lin’s father packed up all of Lin Yile’s belongings and brought them over, including her clothes, her bed. If not for Xu Miaomiao’s room being too small, he might’ve brought over all of Lin Yile’s possessions.

“I only have one child, so it’s fine,” Xu’s mother didn’t mind, it was good for her daughter to have so many little companions.

Moreover, it’s just one more mouth to feed at home, just cook an extra bowl of rice in the future. Considering Lin Yile’s tiny figure, it seemed that she wouldn’t consume much.

Lin’s mother naturally wouldn’t let Xu’s mother bear all the burden. Letting her own child eat and live here, and also learn from others, how could she not contribute?

So, she directly gave Xu’s mother five hundred yuan.

“How could we accept this money,” Xu’s mother of course wouldn’t take the money. Talking about money could hurt feelings, right?

“If you don’t accept this, how can we feel at ease?” Lin’s mother’s eyes turned red in an instant, “You have been so good to my sweet Lele, letting her eat and live here.”

Xu’s mother was really seeing such a teary woman for the first time. She was so articulate yet could break down at any moment. In the end, she had no choice but to accept the 500 yuan.

At that time, 500 yuan was more than Xu’s mother’s monthly salary. The Lin family didn’t seem to lack this bit of money, Xu’s mother used this money for the children’s expenses.

From then on, she prepared three meals a day for the children with a variety of recipes each day.

And she was right, Lin Yile ate very little indeed, barely the base of a bowl of rice, took a few bites of the dishes, and drank half a cup of water.

Xu’s mother worried about her thin arms and thin legs every day, always afraid that she might fall or bump into something and fracture her bones.

Any family who had a daughter like this would have no choice but to worry about her. Otherwise, why would Lin’s mother come over every day? She was either concerned about her child not being used to the food, or worried that her daughter might get injured.

Xu’s mother now really felt that raising her own daughter Miaomiao was so easy, she could digest even a stone.

“Wake up,” Tang Yuxin gently shook Lin Yile’s shoulder.

Lin Yile rubbed her eyes and then sat up. Initially, she was somewhat confused, but she quickly woke up completely.

However, she didn’t understand why Tang Yuxin was waking her up so early?

Nevertheless, she obediently dressed and washed her face.

Although she was not fond of talking and wasn’t particularly bright, she was very obedient, probably because she was used to following her parents’ words at home.

Tang Yuxin opened the door and walked out. The wind outside was somewhat chilly, but the early morning fresh air made up for it. The sun hadn’t risen yet, but some light was already visible in the east where the sun would rise.

“Come, practice with me.”

Tang Yuxin made a move, and although Lin Yile didn’t know what it was for, she obeyed. Tang Yuxin performed each move one by one, explaining as she went along. At first, Lin Yile struggled with the moves. In no time, she broke into a sweat.

Tang Yuxin didn’t stop, and so, neither did Lin Yile. She continued until Tang Yuxin stopped. By this time, a dazzling sun had risen in the east.

This unobstructed sunrise appeared right before their eyes, casting soft spots of light upon them. There were no tall buildings around, everything was in its natural state and quiet in the wintry morning. No bustling crowd, no cars starting up in the morning, no car horns, and no noise from large shopping malls.

There were only the crisp bird calls from the trees, which would sometimes make a feather or two flutter down from the sky and land on the ground before being swept away cleanly by a gust of wind.

Tang Yuxin opened her eyes, having completed several rounds of breathing exercises. During the merging of Yin and Yang, your breath should be balanced, mirroring the existence of the Heavenly Dao.

One should naturally follow Heavenly Dao.

“How does it feel?” Tang Yuxin turned around to ask Lin Yile.

Lin Yile nodded, and from her eyes, you could see a trace of inexplicable joy. She’d seen many mornings throughout her life, but never such a magnificent scene.

It was her first time feeling this.

The sunrise was truly beautiful.

They had gotten up about two hours earlier than usual, but they didn’t feel sleepy at all. They went to bed at nine in the evening and woke up at six in the morning. This schedule was perfect.

When Tang Yuxin and Lin Yile returned, Xu Miaomiao was still brushing her teeth. Seeing them, she asked curiously with the toothbrush still in her mouth.

“Where did you go?”

“To exercise,” Tang Yuxin replied and went back inside. When she came out again, she had a book in her hand. It was such a good morning, so naturally, she couldn’t waste it. She had to study hard.

“Wait for me,” Xu Miaomiao quickly finished brushing her teeth, grabbed her book, and joined them. They spent the early morning in this way.

When it was time for breakfast, Lin Yile somehow managed to eat half a bowl of rice.

Xu Miaomiao widened her eyes in surprise. Was the food exceptionally good today? But why did she end up eating just the usual amount?

“Mom, did you give Lele special treatment and cook her something delicious?” Xu Miaomiao pouted, “Did you make her something tasty?”

“What are you talking about?” Xu’s mother glared at her daughter, “Am I that kind of person? You all eat the same. Whether it’s raising one, two or three kids, it’s all the same. Early in the morning and you’re already so tense, I wouldn’t have the time to cook two different types of meals.”

“But, look…” Xu Miaomiao pointed at Lin Yile, “She ate three times as much as she usually does today.”

Lin Yile blinked her eyes, seemingly realizing that she had eaten a lot. She wasn’t sure, she looked rather dazed. She just felt a bit hungry, so she kept eating, but didn’t notice how much she had consumed.

Could it be that she really had eaten a lot?

“She eats much less than you,” Xu’s mother poked her daughter’s forehead, “You eat the most here. You eat enough for an entire week’s meal in one sitting. How did I give birth to such a gluttonous daughter?”

“Good thing your father is more thrifty. Otherwise, our family’s food supplies would only be enough to feed your belly.”
