If it was just a guess that he saw something wrong with Dabao's expression just now, Geng Zhiye was sure that there was something wrong in his son's mind at this moment. Geng Zhiye opened the back seat door and threw his son in. He then sat in and said, "Just talk about what you are thinking about now."
Is dad the devil? Dabao fell weakly on his seat: "I don't know what dad said."
"When did you become so sensible?" Geng Zhiye stared at his son, "You don't ask when Erbao tells you to keep a low profile. It's not like you."
Dabao opened his eyes wide and looked innocent: "I just want to be like you."
"No matter how poor you are, should I invite your mother?"
Dabao was about to cry but had no tears: "Dad, I really didn't expect that."
"Why don't you confess first, and dad can help you judge?"
Dabao's little eyes squinted at his father: "Am I stupid?"
"Then I'll call your mother over." Geng Zhiye said.
Dabao pondered for a moment: "Mom doesn't know anything, and it's useless for her to come here."
"The passing geese leave traces." Geng Zhiye reminded, "You can't leave traces if you do it. Dabao, can you withstand your mother's analysis?"
One of the insiders was his mother’s old classmate. Dabao didn’t dare to bet: “You promise not to hit me if you find out?”
Geng Zhiye: "If you touch the bottom line of the law——"
"No, no..." Dabao shook his head like a rattle.
Geng Zhiye didn’t understand: “Then what are you afraid of?”
"I'm afraid that you will punish me by kneeling down. How old am I? If you want my classmates to know that I kneel down in the courtyard, I still-"
Geng Zhiye interrupted: "If you keep talking, I will call you mom."
"Tell me about it!" Dabao said happily, but actually he still wanted to struggle, "But the partition wall outside has ears."
Geng Zhiye turned sideways to face his son: "You stare at the opposite side of me, and I'll pay attention behind you and on both sides."
"But it's a long story."
Geng Zhiye: “We haven’t cooked yet at home, so don’t be in a hurry, just take your time.”
Dabao wanted to ask if his father had changed his job to a civil servant. Otherwise, I can’t explain why you are so patient.
Family matters are not state affairs, so there is no need to worry. Geng Zhiye put his arms on the front seat of the car, relaxing and spending time with his son.
Dabao spent a few minutes with him, but it was not as calm as him. Every minute was torture for Dabao, so he simply confessed: "This matter has to start from the day Chu Guangming's grandfather passed away."
These words surprised Geng Zhiye, and he said calmly: "Continue."
Dabao first said that Chu Guangming's father was beaten by his aunt on the night when the old man was buried. When Chu's father returned home, his wife felt distressed, so he asked his brother-in-law to arrest her. Aunt Chu's mother-in-law had no power, no connections, and the only one she could find was Chu Guangming. But Chu Guangming was not at home. When Han Dawei found out about this, he was worried that people would suffer in there, so he went to Ye Fan for help.
Geng Zhiye understood after hearing this: "So you thought of such a damaging trick for the old lady?"
"The main reason is that my mother is not at home. I don't want her to disturb grandma, but - no, I don't know where the army headquarters is, and I don't know the name of Guangming's stepmother's father." Dabao felt relaxed after thinking of this, "Me neither I asked her to stop a car and kneel down to complain, but I didn’t ask her to say that the person was dying.”
Geng Zhiye: “Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”
Dabao touched his nose: "I'm worried that the old lady will be stopped and frightened into confessing me, which will implicate you, so I asked her to find Guangming's biological mother before she goes."
Geng Zhiye raised his palm.
Dabao covered his face: "Dad, I was wrong! Don't slap me in the face!"
Geng Zhiye was reluctant to beat his son, and when the child was older, he wanted to save face and could not shout for beating or killing. Geng Zhiye grabbed his ear: "Aren't you afraid that the old lady will go to Guangming's biological mother and confess you?"
Dabao subconsciously wanted to say: Don’t be afraid! But he was afraid of telling his father to teach him a lesson, "I analyzed it carefully and found that Guangming's aunt beat his father because he thought his father's child support was too little. If the couple raised Guangming together, his aunt would definitely not think it was too little, and she would not Go to his father. If the old lady thinks this way, even if Guangming's mother helps her, she will blame Guangming's mother in her heart. As an outsider, the old lady will not betray me if she has any conscience. I also made her swear poison.”
Geng Zhiye let go: "The little guy is very clever."
Dabao didn't dare to talk at this time: "Dad, I really didn't expect that the old lady's kneeling was so powerful."
"It's not that it's powerful. It's just a coincidence that all kinds of situations come together, just like a comet hitting the earth. There's no way to cover it. Otherwise, people won't be able to get out, and you will also harm Aunt Guangming's mother-in-law." Geng Zhiye was not joking. "Don't be smart in the future!"
Dabao was frightened by what happened: "I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore."
Geng Zhiye was still worried when he saw that he was serious about it: "This thing is going to kill me!"
Dabao: "Don't you tell mom?"
"Does your mother have too many things to worry about every day?" Geng Zhiye glared at him, "Save your worries."
Dabao said: "I haven't upset my mother much since I went to college. My mother has recently been worried about my sister-in-law's marriage. You should scold my sister-in-law."
"Do you think I will let her go?" Geng Zhiye opened the car door, "I will also go to discuss the engagement on May Day. If she dares to cause trouble for your mother, I will take care of you too!"
Dabao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why?"
Geng Zhiye: "I was in a bad mood that day! Do you have any objections?"
Dabao had an opinion, but Dabao didn't dare to mention it. Dabao held back: "Are you going to take a vacation?"
"I just arrived at the division headquarters and I haven't figured out where the restroom is facing and why I'm on vacation. I'll go there at noon. The army officers also need to eat, so I won't delay things when I go out." Geng Zhiye said angrily, "Just calm down."
Dabao nodded repeatedly: "I am peaceful, I am good, and I will not cause trouble if anyone asks me."
Geng Zhiye opened the car door and got out.
Dabao was sweating all over, and after he relaxed, he collapsed in the back seat. He was glad that it was his father and not his mother, otherwise he would be dizzy from being talked about by his mother.
Geng Zhiye looked back at his son and cursed secretly, you brat!
Considering that May Day was just a few days away, he needed to greet his comrades in advance, so when Geng Zhiye arrived at the army the next day, he told the political commissar that his sister was engaged on May Day and that his father was gone and he wanted to be present. The political commissar can understand the important matter of marriage. At 11 o'clock on May Day, the political commissar reminded Geng Zhiye to set off and advised him not to be in a hurry. He would be fine if he came back at 2 or 3 o'clock. He would take care of anything that happened to the troops.
Geng Zhiye arrived home to pick up Ye Fan, Yu Wentao and Geng Zhiqin.
In addition to the old couple and Sun Laifu, there is only one Chang Guangrong in the Sun family.
Chang Guangrong took care of his father-in-law's family, and Geng Zhiqin did not dare to have any objections to Ye Fan, so the dinner was very harmonious.
Maybe Ye Fan and Yu Wentao were easy to talk to, and the Sun family was happy, with cigarettes, wine, candy, and a thousand yuan. Sun's father felt embarrassed for being so high-ranking, and promised to buy Geng Zhiqin a gold ring, bracelet, and necklace before marriage.
Ye Fan asked who would buy the furniture and household appliances. Chang Guangrong replied that the woman decides on the furniture and the man handles the household appliances.
After returning home, Ye Fan gave Geng Zhiqin a thousand yuan to renovate the house.
Schools are on holiday across the country today, and Geng Leilei, who is busy with everything, is back. Household appliances are more expensive than furniture. When Geng Leilei heard his aunt say that the man gave her money to buy three pieces of gold, she couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, Uncle Laifu is pretty good."
Geng Zhiqin didn't want to admit that her vision was not as good as that of her mother and sister-in-law, so she reluctantly said: "That's it."
Geng Huihui couldn't hear this: "Sister-in-law, don't force yourself!"
"Stop talking!" Geng Zhiqin said hurriedly.
Geng Huihui chatted with Ye Fan and her grandmother so much that they both knew for a long time that Geng Huihui was using her junior sister to create trouble for her aunt. Yu Wentao also felt that her daughter needed to be taken care of, so she deliberately said: "Why are you so loud? To show that you have a loud voice? Huihui is also thinking about you, so don't be ungrateful!"
Geng Zhiqin opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't know where to start. Otherwise, he might be suspected of forgetting Liu Ning: "It's just like that."
Geng Huihui: "Really? I don't believe it!"
"My partner is not your partner, who cares whether you believe it or not." Geng Zhiqin said and went to her mother's bedroom, "I will collect the money first."
Geng Huihui scoffed at her back: "You're so good at what you get. If you hadn't come to Fu's house to get her. If you hadn't had a rich brother-in-law like Uncle Guangrong, buy her electrical appliances. Dream on!"
Geng Leilei deeply agrees: "There are several household appliances in half a house. Even a family with two working parents would not be willing to buy them all at once."
Yu Wentao sighed: "You two, stop talking. If she wants to marry, marry her out quickly to save trouble. If you stay, you will become enemies!"
Ye Fan: "Will you still take care of the baby after giving birth?"
Yu Wentao: "I take care of her during the day and let her take care of herself at night. When I get tired, I ask her to hire a nanny. By the way, have you found the nanny you are looking for?"
"I have to ask you." Ye Fan said.
Yu Wentao shook his head: "Those people want to save face and suffer the consequences, and think that being a nanny is like being a mother."
When Huihui and her grandma arrived in Yujia Village, Yu Wentao asked her sister-in-law if there were any lesbians in the village who were in their forties and could work well and cook.
Yujia Village is a big village, and most women in the countryside can cook and are diligent. Aunt Yu said that this matter is not urgent and you can just ask anyone.
After lunch, Aunt Yu first looked for relatives in Wufu, but each one was more disgusting than the last. Some even said, "Your niece goes to the city to sell clothes, but you let my daughter-in-law be a mother-in-law. Doesn't she look down on our family?"
But Aunt Yu was very angry.
The close relatives were so ignorant that Aunt Yu didn't want to find anyone else, so she asked Yu Wentao to find it herself.
Ye Fan: "No one regrets it?"
Yu Wentao: "Ask my brother tomorrow."
The next day, Uncle Yu drove into the city to sell vegetables. Yu Wentao stopped her brother at the intersection and asked if anyone regretted and wanted to be a nanny.
Uncle Yu was irritated: "Don't mention it. You said you were asking for help from Fanfan Company. I don't know who was talking nonsense. It is said that I came to your house to be a nanny and a servant girl for you."
Yu Wentao scolded: "Who is so mean-mouthed? When I go back to the village, don't I just want to keep the wealth from going to other people's fields?"
"We know what's the use." Uncle Yu asked, "Can you see your eldest niece?"
Yu Wentao: "Isn't she going to open a store?"
"The money is not enough." Uncle Yu said, "It would be much worse if I lent it to her.""
Yu Wentao thought of Zhang Xiaoming's sister's store, "There is a store on a street with cheap prices. I heard what Fanfan said. Xiaozhi wants to sell tapes on that street."
Uncle Yu had been to the street where Ye Fan sold clothes. At first he thought it would be difficult to do business with several clothes sellers on one street, so he asked his daughter implicitly if he could earn enough for her salary. His daughter said that if Zhang Xiaoming and Wei Jianshe didn't open a shop on that street, there would be others. Besides, the more people you sell, the more popular you become on the street. It may seem like the money is being taken away by others, but in fact, it is more than what you would have earned by working alone.
So Uncle Yu didn't care about being on the same street as Zhang Xiaozhi, so he asked his sister to ask Xiao Ming another day if his sister had any objections. If he had no objection, he would bring his niece over to have a look.
Yu Wentao: "Are there any relatives in our family who are diligent?"
"There is one whose hands and feet are dirty." Uncle Yu said, "My aunt's old girl."
The smile disappeared from Yu Wentao's face, "Go sell vegetables."
Uncle Yu knew that his sister would fall out whenever he talked about her.
Not everyone in the Yu family is kind and simple.
Yu Wentao has many brothers and sisters, and his two sisters are long gone. Unfortunately, the second sister's fate was not good and she died long ago without leaving any children. The eldest sister has a son and a daughter. Sister Yu Wentao's children are similar in age to Geng Zhiye. Their 18/9-year-old father has not yet retired. The eldest sister asked Geng's father to arrange jobs for the children. Geng's father asked them to serve as soldiers, starting from compulsory soldiers. Yu Wentao's eldest sister disagreed. However, the two of them had not attended school for five years together, so forcing them to go in would only cause trouble for the Geng family. Geng's father ignored her, and Sister Yu said that she would advance to the army. During the first two years after the children arrived in the army, the eldest sister and brother-in-law came to visit every year. Later, Geng's father retired and did not transfer her children back to the capital, so the eldest sister was not considered a relative.
Her eldest brother-in-law didn't come when her father Geng passed away.
Yu Wentao also has a younger sister who has given birth to two sons and is also going to join the army. During the Cultural Revolution, the college entrance examination was suspended, and there were few job opportunities in the city. Those who did not want to go to the countryside were crowded into the army. It was difficult for Geng's father to arrange it, and her younger sister broke up with Yu Wentao.
The two sons also went in later, and it was the children of elder sister Yu Wentao who got in. So out of her six siblings, only one brother and one younger brother are in contact with her now.
Uncle Yu said more than once that his sister's troubles were due to bad behavior from her husband's family. When I first bought the car, I didn't think about my daughter. I was subconsciously worried that my daughter would hear her husband's nonsense and get into trouble with him.
Yu Wentao also has an aunt. Before Yu Wentao got married, her aunt often returned to her natal family to support her nephews and nieces. Yu Wentao has a formal job, and her aunt wants to introduce her to the son of a township cadre. Yu Wentao wants to marry Geng's father, and her aunt is very angry.
After getting married, Yu Wentao went to her aunt's house and brought a lot of things to prove that she was married correctly and to reassure her aunt. Unfortunately, she heard her aunt scolding her for being heartless, and her aunt's daughter said that she had actually been in love with Geng's father a long time ago. It's just that she didn't explicitly say that she was promiscuous and indiscreet.
Yu Wentao dared to mock Chen Xiaohui in front of Tao Chunlan, so he was not afraid of her cousin. Yu Wentao's temper got worse and she started to quarrel with her aunt's family.
When he returned home, the money in Yu Wentao's pocket was missing. When Yu Wentao returned to her parents' home again, she met her aunt and asked about it. Her aunt said that Yu Wentao had slandered her daughter as a thief, and the two families started to quarrel again.
When Yu Wentao married Geng's father, everyone unanimously said that her family was poor and wanted the Geng family to live a good life. Colleagues in the work unit who had problems with Yu Wentao also said the same thing. But when it came to her own family, she became Pan Jinlian.
Yu Wentao still feels sick when thinking about this.
Seeing her ugly face, Han Dawei hesitated for a while before stepping forward to stop her, "Aunt Yu, what are you talking about as a nanny?"
Yu Wentao: "Fanfan's employees are all doing important things. I heard Fanfan said that she didn't have time to cook, so she wanted to ask someone to make lunch and dinner for them."
"Just making lunch and dinner?"
Yu Wentao: "Clean up the kitchen."
"Any more?"
Yu Wentao thought about it: "They buy their own food. I heard Dabao's mother said that if they want to buy and eat, they don't have to cook it. Just buy it for them."
"How to calculate salary?"
Yu Wentao: "Forty yuan a month."
Han Dawei hurriedly said: "Wait a minute." He ran to his wife and murmured, then ran back, "Can you look at my wife?"
He is ten years younger than Ye Fan requested. Yu Wentao: "Let me ask Dabao's mother."
Ye Fan asked people to be over forty because he was worried that those in their thirties would have to take care of children and would not be able to cook well. In her early twenties, she was worried about getting into an emotional dispute with her employee partner, which would burn down her company.
Han Dawei had nothing to do at noon and evening, so he might go to help his wife cook, and he could prepare a few more dishes for them. Ye Fan told her mother-in-law that it was okay and she would have Sunday off. It happened that Han Dawei and his wife were going back to their parents' house on Sunday. This matter was very suitable for his family, so the matter was decided.
On Monday, May 5th, Han Dawei’s wife went to work. Han Dawei's wife did not speak Mandarin, so Han Dawei accompanied her there. The couple is good at cooking. If they go back in the evening, the couple who have eaten pig food for more than a year are afraid that the couple will give up. They first said that they would be given one month's salary if they were not even a month old, and then they wanted to praise the couple as an international celebrity. kitchen.
With the company's affairs settled, Ye Fan went south.
Yu Wentao accompanied Geng Zhiqin to buy a house. Geng Zhiqin chose the fourth floor of a six-story building. There are fewer people buying houses now, and there are not as few buildings as there are courtyard houses. The mother and daughter will pick a place after looking at it for three days.
They said it was 18,000, but the price was 17,000.
After buying the house, Geng Zhiqin went to Chen Xiaohui. Chen Xiaohui had studied in school for many years and was finally able to distinguish between Ming-style furniture and late Qing Dynasty furniture. Chen Xiaohui accompanied her to choose furniture and decorations.
Geng Huihui took the opportunity to pick some and stuff them into her and her brother's room. After Geng Sensen and Geng Leilei heard about this incident, they gave Geng Huihui their pocket money and asked her to help them decorate their house.
Dabao knew that his cousin's family still owed his grandma money, so he gave half of his new clothes and shoes to his cousin. He thought that it would be okay for him to wear two less clothes, and it would save his aunt to buy them. He said that Boss Ye was rich and there was no need for it now. I can’t tell who will get the advantage in the future.
Geng Sensen asked: "Who is cheaper?"
"It's cheaper for her employees. When hiring a nanny for her employees, she doesn't even mention hiring one for her family." Dabao muttered, "Grandma has to work so hard to cook every day."
Geng Sensen: "My aunt wants to ask grandma to disagree."
"Grandma is a working people and is embarrassed to find someone to serve her. It's not that she doesn't want to use them." Dabao changed the subject, "Are the shoes too small?"
Geng Sensen: "It's a little big. It's just right with insoles."
"Then you can wear it." Dabao said, "My mother will go south to Yangcheng first and then to Hangcheng. She will definitely buy a lot more for me and Erbao when she goes to Yangcheng."
Geng Sensen realized later: "Actually, you hope that my aunt will buy you new clothes?"
Dabao looked innocent.
Geng Sensen thought he had guessed it right: "If you want to wear the most fashionable clothes, you can ask your aunt to buy a few pieces at a time, and then buy more."
"It's useless to say it. Your aunt will say that any one of them looks good. It's better to pick and choose them all for a long time." Dabao was afraid that he wouldn't believe it. "Your aunt's time is money."
Geng Sensen thought about his second baby’s clothes, which he gave to his relatives when he was young. He still had a full cabinet: “I’m still rich.”
Dabao nodded: "That's right. We don't help my mother spend money, and my mother also buys other things. She always feels a loss if she makes money but doesn't spend it." After that, he stuffed the clothes he was looking for back into the cabinet. Seeing last year's clothes, Dabao took them out and compared them. The sleeves and trouser legs were short, "Brother Sensen, have I grown taller again?"
Geng Sensen nodded: "As far as my uncle's ears. From now on, he won't grow taller or shorter."
"I'm sorry for the milk powder and chicken, fish, meat and eggs my mother bought." Dabao took out the clothes from last year and the year before. The clothes from the year before were shorter, "I grow up so fast."
The clothes from earlier were taken back to the village by Uncle Yu, who came to pay Yu Wentao New Year greetings, for his nephew and grandson to wear. Dabao only had clothes from the past few years in his wardrobe, and when he took them out, his bed was like a mountain.
Dabao clicked his tongue: "How much does it cost?"
Geng Sensen was about to ask, but he laughed when he heard this: "Although my aunt doesn't go to Yangcheng often, she buys several sets every time. Two sets of sportswear, two sets of suit pants and jackets, and two sets of other things. Counting each season. If you buy it once, you can buy dozens of them a year.”
Dabao thought of his classmates: "Can't you give it to your classmates? The classmates will be very unhappy. Let me ask - Aunt Li's family is rich, and her grandson has many clothes. I will go to the west and ask."
When I went to the door of my neighbor's house in the west, I met a little bean sprout that reached his chest. Dabao didn't have such short clothes and folded them back home.
Erbao came out of her room: "Who are you looking for, brother? Grandma is at my sister-in-law's house. Sister Huihui is also there."
Dabao's eyes lit up: "Where is Chu Guangming?"
"Business in the store is good on weekends, in the store."
Dabao: "Call Chu Guangming over next Saturday."
Erbao followed him in: "What are you and Brother Sensen doing?"
Geng Sensen: "Dabao's clothes are too short, and many of them are still like brand new. It would be a pity to throw them away. We are thinking about who to give them to."
Little Douding next door likes to play with Dabao, and quietly follows him: "Give it to me!"
Dabao picked out a piece of sportswear: "Can you wear it?"
"I can wear it when I grow up." Xiao Douding hugged her and wouldn't let go.
Dabaoxin said that you will have forgotten it when you grow up: "Then you pick two sets."
The little beanbag pointed at the jacket. Geng Sensen said: "I think I can wear it."
Dabao asked him to try.
Geng Sensen's arms are not as long as Dabao's, and his jacket is still a little too big for him, so he will wear it in autumn. Little Douding said pitifully: "Mine."
Dabao picked out a denim jacket from the year before last: "Here you go."
"You have to give me another one."
Dabao picked out two more sets for him and checked them carefully to see if there were no frayed threads before giving them to him. Little Douding happily took it home and showed off. Little Douding's grandparents thought they were new clothes and hurriedly dragged him over: "Dabao, Dabao——"
Dabao came out: "What's the matter?"
"Did you give him the clothes?"
Dabao nodded.
"Keep it to yourself."
Dabao randomly picked something and put it on. The sleeves were short and snug. Xiao Douding’s grandparents were relieved: “Thank you brother quickly.”
"Thank you, brother Dabao." Xiao Douding asked: "Grandpa, did I lie to you?"
His father was too embarrassed to answer the question: "Dabao grows up very fast, and your mother can't keep up with the speed of buying clothes."
Dabao smiled and said: "Yes. So my mother will have to spend money on going to the south this time."
After hearing this, the two old men found out that he had clothes to wear and took their grandson home.
Dabao picked out the best ones and asked his cousin to pick them. Geng Sensen's legs are not as long as Dabao's. Dabao's sportswear last autumn was a bit short, but it fit him perfectly.
Dabao folded the small clothes he wore and said, "Give it to Chu Guangming." Then asked, "Chu Guangming doesn't mind it, right?"
Erbao: "He doesn't even dislike his grandfather's clothes."
Dabao shook his head: "It's different. I don't dislike dad's old clothes, but I dislike other people's new clothes."
Geng Sensen: "It's easy to handle. I told him in front of him that I was wearing Dabao's clothes and shoes. If Dabao asks him again, he will definitely not feel that you pity him."
Ye Fan also buys men's clothing, but clothes for adults. Considering that some of my boys are too mature to wear adult clothes, I bought a batch of casual clothes this time.
Chu Guangming came to Ye Fan's house on Saturday evening. Ye Fan asked him if he was short of clothes, and she gave him the wholesale price.
Dabao and Geng Sensen looked at each other, and Dabao said, "Mom, my clothes were too short last year, and Guangming will wear them just right."
Ye Fan: "Last year's clothes didn't fit him."
"The clothes from the year before last are also there." Dabao added.
Geng Sensen took the opportunity to say: "You were not at home a few days ago. I helped Dabao organize the wardrobe. The clothes from the year before last should be fine."
Ye Fan was worried that Chu Guangming's self-esteem would be unbearable, but the two children said that she would be misunderstood no matter how hard she said no: "Guangming, try it first? Wait a minute, Dabao, do you still have your clothes from the summer before last year?"
"Grandma has already taken apart my summer clothes to make shoes. I'm talking about pants and jackets." Dabao dragged him into the house without waiting for his mother to speak.
While Dabao gave him the clothes, he thought he was short: "You have to eat more. Otherwise, you will be like my brother in the future. He is two and a half years older than me and still wears my clothes from last year."
Chu Guangming was angry and funny: "Your father is half a head taller than my biological father. I inherited it from him."
Geng Sensen: "Yes, Dabao, my uncle and aunt are both taller than my parents. You should dislike your uncle and aunt."
Dabao doesn't dare to dislike his uncle. His uncle is very old now. I heard that he always carries a gun when he goes to the countryside for inspections. He didn't know how chaotic that place was, so that his uncle could write a letter in person to warn him not to go there this summer.
