Duoshou nodded: "I'll just watch from afar, I won't get close."

Yu Rujia and her niece couldn't understand why Song Liyun would get involved with Li Haisheng, that scoundrel. Song Liyun herself knew very well that she was unwilling to work hard in her past life and stole her best friend's man, so she had to work in the fields in this life, which was even more difficult.

Although Zhou Likang liked her and would occasionally help her with some chores, there were still many chores she had to do herself, so he essentially found a backup plan.

Besides, Zhou Likang was just a backup option for her; the person she really wanted was Hao Jianguo.

She has extensive experience in managing men and is confident she won't mess things up.

Sure enough, when Zhou Likang got the news and came to question her, Song Liyun still had the leisure to explain to him.

Song Liyun: "Brother Zhou, there's nothing between Comrade Li and me. He just saw that I was exhausted and helped me out a bit. Please don't believe everything you hear from others."

“You know what kind of person Comrade Li is. Even if we really needed to find someone, I couldn’t possibly turn down a handsome and talented city guy like Brother Zhou who is also a high school graduate, and go and choose him instead.”

Zhou Likang helped Song Liyun with chores at the educated youth compound because he liked her and wanted to impress her.

In reality, he wasn't exactly a saint himself, often stringing together a bunch of girls to do chores for him. He was well aware of Song Liyun's intentions.

He mentally compared himself to Li Haisheng and concluded that he was far superior to Li Haisheng in every aspect.

Zhou Likang was confident that anyone with eyes would choose Li Haisheng over him.

Zhou Likang: "Working in the countryside is indeed a bit tough. Let's keep a low profile this year, and by next year I'll have accumulated enough years to apply for university. If I get a spot, I can take you with me."

“Going to university means receiving a monthly stipend of several tens of yuan, which is enough for the two of us.”

Song Liyun blushed and said, "I knew Brother Zhou would understand me."

Despite her outward appearance, she had a different thought in her heart. Being a worker was nothing compared to being a general's wife. She had already started corresponding with Hao Jianguo, and he had even replied to her letter last time.

With the first reply, there would be a second, and countless more; she believed that winning him over was only a matter of time.

During the busy harvest season, it was time to catch frogs in the fields. Dorje didn't expect that while he was washing his hands, all his brothers would disappear.

The little dumpling tiptoed to Yu Rujia's side, tugging at her trouser leg with a pitiful expression: "Mom, fourth brother, brother?"

Yu Rujia sat on a low stool and pulled the somewhat overweight little guy to her side, looking him up and down: "Your brothers have gone out, they'll be back to play with you later. Shujing, do you think Dorje is too fat?"

As the youngest brother, even though Yu Rujia controlled Dorje's food, he could still get food from his older brothers and Gao Guojing. Some people who came to visit the Yu family would also give him food.

One or two bites from each person is enough to fill about half of the little guy's belly.

Moreover, with this kind of eating, there's no need to worry about him getting too full. One person dares to feed him, and the other dares to eat, so Dorje's belly is always full, which is why he gets fat.

Gao Shujing pulled up a stool and sat down next to Yu Rujia. He picked up the chubby little boy, Dorje. The boy was so heavy in his hands, and with the rolls of fat on his arms, even if he wanted to speak up for his chubby son, he couldn't stand his ground.

Gao Shujing frowned slightly and agreed, "He has gained weight; we need to find a way to help him lose some."

Dorje sensed the disdain in his expression and, waving his short, chubby arms, retorted in a childish voice, "I'm not fat, Dad's fat, Dad's bad, I want Mom."

As she spoke, she struggled and tried to reach out her chubby little arms toward Yu Rujia.

Because he was struggling too hard, Gao Shujing had to put the little dumpling on the ground and support him, saying, "Don't rush, take your time, Mommy won't run."

Dorje wouldn't listen to him. Once he was free, he jumped towards Yu Rujia before he could even stand properly, stubbornly saying, "I want Mommy."

Yu Rujia and Gao Shujing simultaneously grabbed the chubby boy who was about to fall to the ground.

Yu Rujia slapped his chubby bottom a few times in annoyance: "Don't be so reckless. If you fall on the ground and cry, Mom won't comfort you."

Dorje buried his head in her arms and rubbed against her. After he finished, he raised his chubby little face, grinned, and showed a row of tiny teeth as he smiled broadly: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry."

Yu Rujia chuckled and coaxed, "Okay, okay, our Dorje is a good boy, don't cry."

Gao Shujing glanced at Duoji, who was snuggling against her, and frowned slightly: "Duoji is over a year old, he's a big boy, it's time to wean him. Starting tomorrow, let him sleep with Guojing."

Dorjee is one year and two months old. Starting from ten months old, Yu Rujia reduced the frequency of breastfeeding. After a few months, she has now reduced it to a maximum of twice a day. It's time to wean him completely.

Yu Rujia: "Okay, but it will be tough on Guojing."

It's easy to get Dorje to stop drinking milk for a day, but if you try to stop him from sleeping with his parents, the little guy will definitely cause a huge fuss. Gao Guojing won't be able to get a good night's sleep for the next week.

Unlike Duoji and Duofu, when they first moved to Gao Shujing's place, they had brothers to keep them company and a desire to practice martial arts and become stronger. After making a fuss for a while, they got tired and fell asleep, and didn't make much trouble after that.

Dorjee has slept with the two of them since birth and has no other children to go with. Even though Kao Kuo-ching is the uncle who plays with him every day, he is no more important to Dorjee than Yu Ju-chia and her husband.

Gao Guojing received this notification when he returned with some nephews after catching field frogs. It was quite sudden, but no one objected.

The next day, they packed some of Dorje's things and put them in his room.

Yu Rujia: "Duofu, do you guys want to sleep separately? If you do, let's pack together this time."

As the little ones grew older and bigger, it was getting a bit cramped to still sleep in one bed.

In addition, the weather is hot now, and with several little bundles of flesh huddled together, even with Yu Rujia setting up a temperature-controlled array, it's still unbearably hot.

Before Duofu could speak, Duoshou eagerly replied, "We have to separate. Duolu kicks around in his sleep, kicking me to the ground several times and even stealing my blanket."

Speaking of this, Duoshou's eyes were filled with resentment.

Duolu often kicked him while he was sleeping soundly. Duoshou, who was woken up by the kicks, felt resentful and kicked back.

As a result, Doroo didn't even open his eyes, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

The culprit, Dorothy, had no recollection of what he had done; he was a man who fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, and it was difficult to wake him even with thunder.

Doro scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "Really? I don't remember."

Duo Shou couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "You're asleep, I can't wake you up, how would you know these things?"
