Chapter 452: As Bright as a Light Bulb

Ji Jian was stunned for a while before he realized what she meant and immediately laughed.

"I understand. I'll report today's assignment to him when he gets off work tonight."

Yi Chichi saw that she knew what was going on, so he stopped talking.

When we were almost home, Zhang Qiaozhen, the wife of the commander of the first battalion of the third regiment, came over quickly holding a broom.

There was no expression on his delicate face, but his eyes were filled with anger.

Yi Chichi and Ji Jian exchanged glances, knowing that the boy must have been upset because of his child.

In an instant, the two of them were filled with gossip.

"Qiaozhen, you look so angry, are you going to fight?"

Ji Jian stopped the man and asked about the situation.

Zhang Qiaozhen greeted the two and then began to complain angrily, "It's all because of that little bastard Qiangzi. He cut one of my balls of yarn and also cut up his father's clothes and pants."

Yi Chichi was stunned when she heard this. She had seen Wei Qiang before. He was a very smart child. His little mouth was as sweet as honey and he was especially good at making people happy.

His academic performance is not bad, but he is a little different from a good kid in the traditional sense.

Too naughty.

He did things like climbing trees to catch birds, going to rivers to catch fish, and using firecrackers to blow up manure pits more than once.

He is a child who brings both warmth and headaches to his parents.

But there is a reason for his mischief.

It's like climbing a tree to take out a bird because the mother bird is gone. He observes for a long time before he finds that there are only two baby birds left in the nest, with their mouths open and calling.

The sound is getting weaker and weaker. If we don't find a way to save the chicks, they will die.

So he climbed up the tree and dug out the bird's nest.

In the end, the two chicks still couldn't survive.

Zhang Qiaozhen went down to the river to catch fish because she wanted to eat some river shrimps. So the kid went down to the river on his way home from school and brought back more than a pound of river shrimps for his mother.

The reason for blowing up the manure pit was because I had a conflict with my friends. I didn't win the argument at the time, and the more I thought about it afterwards, the angrier I got.

Then, on a whim, I ran to my friend's backyard to blow up the manure pit.

This time...

"Why did he cut your ball of yarn and your old Wei's clothes?"

Yi Chichi always felt that there was a reason for this, so he asked this question.

Zhang Qiaozhen looked bewildered. "I don't know. When I got home from get off work, I found the house was a mess, like it had been ransacked."

Having said that, she looked at the two of them and said, "By the way, sister-in-law, have you seen my Qiangzi?"

"No."

They had just come back from outside and had seen her son Qiangzi nowhere to be found.

Zhang Qiaozhen tightened her grip on the broom and said, "Then you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll find the person first."

Today is Wednesday. The schools here have a rule that students have half-day classes on Wednesday, full-day classes on Saturday, and have a day off on Sunday.

Judging from the time, little Wei Qiang must have finished school.

As to whether the people are still in the family quarters, it’s hard to say.

But we still have to remind you what needs to be reminded.

"Don't rush to beat someone up when you find him. Ask him why first."

What if the child has a legitimate reason?

Zhang Qiaozhen's mouth twitched. "I will."

If you can convince him, you can avoid the beating. If you can't convince him, you will get a beating on your butt.

"I feel like Wei Qiang won't be able to escape this beating today."

Looking at Zhang Qiaozhen's back as she walked away quickly, Ji Jian said with a smile.

Yi Chichi glanced at her and said, "Why do I feel like you're gloating?"

Ji Jian laughed heartily. "What do you think our fun is? It's nothing more than watching which kid gets naughty and upsets their parents and gets beaten after a busy day."

This fun is a bit of a bad taste.

But it is indeed lively.

Today's educational concepts are quite different from those of later generations, and beating children is quite common.

Yi Chichi did not comment on this, nor did she think of changing and challenging existing concepts on her own.

I don’t have that ability.

So, she smiled and said, "When you beat your baby, Sister Lei and the others watched the show with the same mentality as you do now."

Ji Jian didn't care. "It's okay, just watch it. Some kids will cause trouble if you don't watch them."

That's the truth.

Nowadays, children are allowed to roam freely, and parents actually don’t know what their children are doing outside.

Yi Chi was speechless.

In the evening, Wei Qiang's crying was so loud that it shook the sky. Wen Shi, who had just picked up his bowl to eat, was stunned for a moment when he heard the crying that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.

"Wife, why does this voice sound like Wei Jia Xiaoqiang?"

Yi Chichi plucked a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth, "You heard right, it's him."

He chewed and swallowed the shrimp, then put a mouthful of rice into his mouth before he felt like finding out what was going on.

"Mrs. Wei said Xiaoqiang cut up her ball of yarn and Comrade Wei's clothes and pants."

Wen Shi was silent for two seconds, then sighed, "He deserves a beating."

Why not cut clothes?

It’s okay to cut any other clothes, but I’m afraid this stupid kid will cut his father’s military uniform.

What you fear will come true.

Less than half an hour after we finished eating, Lao Wei rushed in with clothes in his hand, as if on fire. He said, "Sister-in-law, please help me see if there is any chance to repair my clothes."

Before he finished speaking, he handed over the clothes eagerly.

"Let me see."

It’s not a big deal. Lao Wei and Wen Shi have a good relationship, so there is no reason for Yi to refuse.

She reached out to take the clothes and pants and looked at them carefully, and found that Wei Qiang's meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots and pork was really worth it.

Not only did this kid cut his clothes and pants, but he also cut them in very clever places.

The pants are missing a piece on one side at the hip.

The clothes were cut off at the chest, along with the pocket.

With a frown on her forehead, she asked, "Where is the cut cloth?"

"Making a doll!"

Old Wei looked distressed. "Qiangzi found some reed flowers and used the cut fabric to sew a mini doll for the little girl from the Zhou family."

Yi Chichi blurted out, "Hair made of wool?"

"Um."

He responded with frustration, an ugly doll wearing green clothes, with a strange appearance and blue hair.

Wen Shi laughed out loud, "Good boy, Qiangzi knows how to make girls happy at such a young age."

Old Wei rolled his eyes at him resentfully, "Is this the time to laugh?"

Yi Chi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "It can be mended, but the prerequisite is to find the missing cloth."

Otherwise, if other fabrics were used to patch such a special position, Comrade Lao Wei would become the brightest one in the crowd and attract all the attention of his brothers.

"Do you have to have the original fabric?"

Old Wei was in a dilemma. His children had given the baby away, and he, as a parent, felt uncomfortable asking for it back.

Yi Chichi opened her clothes and pants to show him, "As long as you can accept others being attracted by your clothes and staring at them, I don't mind."

Wen Shi is a talkative person.

Seeing this, he said, "Really use a different color to patch it. Lao Wei, believe me, you will definitely attract everyone's attention and shine as brightly as a light bulb."

Old Wei suddenly felt a toothache and even lost the mood to argue with him. He covered his cheek and stared at his clothes and pants in a daze.

After a while, he grabbed Wen Shi's arm and said, "Come with me."

"I'm not going."

As soon as Wen Shi heard it, he knew that this guy wanted him to be a bad guy and ask for the rag doll, so he was unwilling.

But it was useless, because Lao Wei's eyes turned red, "You..."

“I’ll go!”

Wen Shi was so frightened that his whole body shuddered. This guy likes to cry, and he is not good at coaxing men.

"Go, go, go, hurry back."

He dragged the man away like a dead pig. Yi Chichi looked at the two people running away as if they were possessed by ghosts in a daze. He suspected that he was dazzled and hallucinating, otherwise why would he see red in the eyes of Lao Wei.

I've never heard that he likes to cry before?!

The burly, bearded man was weeping like a pear blossom in the rain...

Wow, that scene is chilling just thinking about it!
