Chen Xiaohui thought for a moment before arranging her words: "You are different from what I imagined, and it's quite good. You said you would leave the supply and marketing cooperative without me, but you didn't say that Geng Zhiqin was also qualified. In any case, at this point in the work I owe you. I don’t like to owe others. Tell me something you may not know.”
"Again, you heard it from the educated youth riding with you?"
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "There was more than one educated youth from the capital on that train. He said that Geng Zhiye had someone he liked before, and it was impossible for him to have an honest blind date with him. Don't be too heartfelt to him. We women must know how to love ourselves. Before Watch you pour the noodles to him, I I just want to say that eating less will not make him hungry. You also said that you are the daughter-in-law of the Geng family, then Dabao Erbao’s mother, and finally the daughter-in-law of the Geng family.” Seeing Ye Fan staring at him, like. Frightened by her words: "Are you listening?"
Ye Fan was stunned by her words, and when he heard the words, he came back to his senses with a look of confusion on his face.
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true." In his previous life, Geng Zhiye was over thirty and still hadn't gotten married. I heard that it wasn't just because Yu Wentao was picky, but he didn't want to get married either. Marrying early in this life must be because Ye Fan is good-looking and smart, and her father has a higher position than Geng's father.
Men are so realistic. When they meet someone who is suitable in all aspects, they have to stand aside even if they have white moonlight and cinnabar moles. But when he doesn't need to rely on anyone, he will look for Bai Yueguang again. When Bai Yueguang gets old and becomes a leftover, he will find a younger version of Bai Yueguang.
Ye Fan was sure that Chen Xiaohui had never heard of Jiao Qianyan Shen, and was a bit careless. No wonder she was manipulated by the two old poisonous people in the Chen family.
With their current awkward relationship, anyone else would have to suspect that she was deliberately provoking it. To put it bluntly, even if Geng Zhiye has someone in his heart, it still doesn't matter who he is hiding in his heart when he is in front of her and his salary is in her hands.
She is not the protagonist in Qiong Yao's drama. She doesn't care about herself and others' life and death, she only cares about love.
Ye Fan wondered if there were a few months of slack in the countryside every year. Chen Xiaohui had nothing to do and analyzed this and that with the educated youth who jumped in the queue. She also felt that she had a few more years of complicated rural life experience and was more knowledgeable than her. Live transparently.
"Don't take it lightly. You won't even have tears when you cry." Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but say, "Anyone may betray you except your parents."
He kept saying the same thing, why didn't he know that he had cut off all contact with the Chen family? She would not be so naive as to think that Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping had deep feelings for her because they raised her. But she wouldn't give Zhao Ruping money if she thought so. Chen Xiaohui thought of paying for it, which showed that she knew Zhao Ruping's virtues.
Ye Fan had a headache and his head was turning into paste: "I'll ask Geng Zhiye later."
"Are you stupid?" Chen Xiaohui took a step forward excitedly, "How could he tell the truth? He might also accuse me of spreading rumors."
Ye Fanxin said you still know how to "spread trouble". I thought you knew it and took it for granted!
"Fanfan, the car is coming." Geng Zhiye shouted to Ye Fan as soon as he saw a white shadow in the distance.
Chen Xiaohui couldn't help but warned: "Don't ask. Otherwise I won't tell you anything in the future."
Ye Fanxin said, "Do you think I care about you?"
"Got it."
Seeing her impatience, Chen Xiaohui shook her head helplessly: "You can ask his comrades when you wait on the island."
Do I look like I’m full? Ye Fan was speechless and really wanted to ask the Chen family how they taught their children, "Don't show your heart to anyone." Otherwise, I would have to rescue him if he was betrayed.
Chen Xiaohui nodded: "I'm not stupid. I haven't said anything to anyone except my own family.
Ye Fanxin said that I should really thank you for Xiaoqin, you actually treat her as one of your own: "You go to work."
"There's still time." Chen Xiaohui put the packages in the car and watched Ye Fan and Tao Chunlan sit down holding their first and second babies before she rode to work.
Geng Zhiye asked: "What are we talking about? She looks very excited."
Tao Chunlan also wanted to know: "Yes. Fanfan, it doesn't look like we are talking about work."
"Mom, you should be lucky that you taught me well. Anyone else would have taken the opportunity to accuse Chen Xiaohui of scolding me. Now that I have brought her back, don't be suspicious. I don't want the money I worked hard to save to make other people's money easier. From now on, no matter what clothes, shoes or socks, I will call her her." Buy it yourself. She eats and lives at home. Even though the salary of a temporary worker is not high, it is enough for her to use. Her salary should be paid to whomever she wants." Ye Fan still felt uneasy after saying so much. "If those two people come to see you, just send me a message. It’s close, I’ll deal with it.”
Tao Chunlan: "We have your father, brother and sister-in-law at home."
"My father and brother are good at work, but together they are not as good as Grandma Dabao in fighting scoundrels."
Dabao: "Grandma is not as good as mother."
"..." Hearing that Geng Zhiye had Bai Yueguang in his heart, Ye Fan didn't lose his composure. He couldn't help but change his face at this moment: "Aren't you sleepy again?"
Tao Chunlan held back her laughter and said, "Dabao is right, your mother is the most powerful in our family."
Dabao nodded: "Mom, I praise you."
"I don't care." Ye Fan raised his hand and threw him out.
Geng Zhiye hurriedly caught it: "Are you okay?"
"Mom is scaring me. Mom doesn't want me to fall to the ground." Dabao grabbed his father's shoulders, knelt on his lap and turned behind him, "Mom, you are the best mother."
There were only a few people on the morning bus, and the aunt sitting in front of Geng Zhiye turned around and asked, "How old is Dabao? Look at this little mouth, he really knows how to talk."
Erbao woke up and stretched out his finger: "Dabao is four years old."
The aunt got up and took a look. The little girl was as smart as her brother, and the mother was also handsome. She made people like her when she saw her: "Where are the big and small bags going?"
Ye Fan: "My wife works in another province. We have been assigned a room there and will take us there."
"Are you a soldier?" Auntie looked at Geng Zhiye and asked.
Geng Zhiye sat upright instinctively, staring at his aunt with sharp eyes like an eagle. The aunt laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, young man. The aunt has dealt with soldiers before."
Ye Fan took over the words: "You look similar to my mother, haven't you retired yet?"
"Retired. Send my eldest grandson to the countryside." The aunt pointed to the boy in front of her who was dozing off sleepily with his back to her.
Tao Chunlan stretched out her head and took a look: "It doesn't look big."
"I just turned sixteen." The aunt said with a flash of distress in her eyes, "Fortunately, I don't have to leave the capital. I can still go over and take a look every now and then."
Ye Fan: "Now you don't have to go to other provinces to jump in line?"
Tao Chunlan: "For example, the Northeast Construction Corps has too many people. Other places are short of people and food. In the past two years, young people in the city have been asked to go to the surrounding countryside to exercise." The aunt who comforted her grandson said, "It's okay to be idle in the city. If you have nothing to do, why not go to the countryside and learn something?”
"His parents and I think the same way. If you play cards and drink leisurely, you will soon learn to be bad. I heard that if you don't get married in the countryside, you will have the opportunity to return to the city."
Tao Chunlan nodded: "A relative of mine came back this year." Geng Zhiye couldn't help but look sideways. It seemed that his mother-in-law was really dissatisfied with Chen Xiaohui's behavior.
"Boss, please tidy up. We're almost there." Geng Zhiye handed the Dabao to her.
The aunt looked outside and saw the train station not far away. She said to Geng Zhiye: "Comrade, you get off first and I will help you pass the things down."
Tao Chunlan held Erbao in her arms, and Geng Zhiye got off first with a big bag in one hand. Ye Fan held Dabao in his arms and took the bag from his aunt: "Thank you."
The aunt smiled as if it was a trivial matter and there was no need to thank her: "Be careful on the road. Watch your children."
Dabao's kid couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Ye Fan was prepared. When he got to the train, he tied the cloth strip around his wrist and tied the other end to Dabao's hand. Dabao frowned in disgust: "Mom, it's like tethering a puppy."
Tao Chunlan didn't want to go down, and was filled with reluctance. When she heard these words, the sadness of parting disappeared instantly: "Are you a puppy?"
"Mom treats me like a puppy." Dabao pouted and unwrapped the strip of cloth.
Ye Fan: "There are many people in the car. If you are not afraid of someone covering your mouth and carrying you away, you will be relieved."
Although there are fewer people going out these days, there are even fewer cars. This is the only car with sleeper berths.
Dabao opened the car window and looked down and up: "There are so many people."
"Come here!" Ye Fan picked up his son, "Mom, go back."
Tao Chunlan took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and Ye Fan stuffed it back before she could open it: "What are you doing? Your and your sister-in-law's wages combined are not as much as your son-in-law's."
"You have no job on the island." Tao Chunlan shouted inside: "Dabao, your mother doesn't want you to hold it."
Dabao: "Money? I don't want it. Grandma can buy something delicious."
"I'll buy you some candy."
Dabao shook his head: "Mom is not allowed to eat sweets every day. If you give me money, you can't buy sweets. It's better not to give up."
"Not now or not later."
Dabao: "Grandma, get down quickly, we are leaving."
"I raised you so big for nothing."
Dabao said with a smile: "Grandma, you did it on purpose. I know it. Grandma asked my sister-in-law to help her. If my sister-in-law didn't help her, grandma said so."
"I shouldn't have asked you to go to your grandparents' house. If you don't learn well, just learn these things."
Geng Zhiye sighed: "Mom, I'm still here. It's not like I won't see you again."
"You——"
Ye Fan interrupted and pushed her mother down: "Okay. We are going to Jiangnan, and it's not the end of the world. If it's convenient for your son-in-law to send me off, why don't I just bring them back when Dabao is on winter vacation?"
"You said so."
Ye Fan nodded: "Hurry home. If it's too late during the rush hour, you won't be able to get on the bus."
Tao Chunlan wanted to say something else, but when she saw the conductor coming down with a whistle, she urged those who couldn't get on the train to get on the train quickly: "Zhi Ye, if you dare to bully you, send me a telegram and I'll go find Lao Geng."
Ye Fan raised his hand and nodded to express his understanding.
Tao Chunlan turned back three times with each step. Geng Zhiye saw this scene through the car window and couldn't help but said: "Your grandma gets more nagging as she gets older."
Ye Fan came over and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Erbao didn't sleep well, put her on the bed and sleep for a while."
Geng Zhiye bought three sleeper tickets, one each for him and Ye Fan, and one for their son and daughter. The conductor said that two tickets were enough. Geng Zhiye said that his son was sleeping like a child, but in fact he just didn’t want to hold the child.
Dabao stretched out his hand: "Dad, give it to my sister."
Ye Fan pulled his hand back: "You and mom." He said to Geng Zhiye: "Put your bag on the berth. It contains food. It's not a pity to lose it."
Dabao wanted to untie the rope again, and someone came in. He was in his forties, his work clothes were washed white, and he looked like a skilled worker. Ye Fan moved inside, Geng Zhiye put his daughter on the bed, and he went outside to make way.
The visitor nodded to Geng Zhiye and asked which one was his. Ye Fan explained that the three beds in a row belonged to her family, and there was no one in the row opposite, so she could sleep wherever she wanted.
Probably the sleeper berth was expensive, but only one person came in until the train departed.
Geng Zhiye told Ye Fan to take a bus to Hangcheng, transfer from Hangcheng to Yongcheng, and then take a bus to the pier and then take a boat. Ye Fan calculated carefully and decided to arrive on the island tomorrow night at the latest.
It was hot in the carriage, and Ye Fan was worried that the roast duck and braised chicken would not be available tomorrow, so he woke up the two children at noon to eat roast duck and braised chicken first. These two things were left to cool overnight. When Ye Fan was cooking in the morning, he took apart the chicken and duck, heated them on grates and put them in a lunch box.
A passenger sitting across from a family of four took out steamed buns with mixed noodles. Seeing Dabao looking at him, he broke off half of it and handed it over: "Child, eat-" Ye Fan opened the lunch box, which was full of meat. The man was very embarrassed, "Are you ready to eat? ”
Geng Zhiye: "Let's eat something together?"
The man shook his head.
Geng Zhiye patted his son's little head and looked across. Dabao looked at the big chicken drumstick in his hand with a look of reluctance: "Dad——"
"You eat this." Geng Zhiye was speechless, "Others."
Geng Dabao picked up the chicken leg in his mouth, held a chicken claw in one hand, and stuffed it into the other person's arms.
The man subconsciously reached out and took it: "Hey——"
"Grandma said she likes to write when she eats chicken feet." Dabao took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "Eat the meat to grow fat. My sister-in-law said she is fat and ugly, like a matryoshka doll."
