Chapter 96: Lord Rabbit

After hearing this, Xu Yao felt something was wrong and reminded her that it was not good for a man to stay out all night.

He Yin smiled and said, "We are all men, why should I worry? I hope he has a good relationship with his friends."

She lowered her voice and said, "The one you saw might be Daven's leader. To be honest, in this society, strength is one aspect, and relationships and favors are another. Without him, our Daven wouldn't have been promoted so quickly. Since the two of them are together, I'll bring a bottle of wine over later."

At first Xu Yao didn't think about it that way, but after He Yin reminded her, she gave He Yin a meaningful look.

Why can't men and men do that?

As the world becomes more open, homosexuality will no longer be looked down upon by the public, but marriage fraud is shameful in any era.

Xu Yao wanted to remind her.

But when she saw Old Lady Deng coming back with a small basket in her arms, she didn't want to talk much and left quickly with the small stool in her arms.

As soon as she entered the door, Old Lady Deng put down the basket angrily.

As she moved, a rotten leaf fell out and she quickly put it back with a look of heartache.

He turned around and scolded He Yin.

"Well, you poor hen! You're digging your own things out again. I'll see if my son will beat you to death when he gets back."

"Deng Wencai wouldn't care about such a small matter." He Yin curled her lips, feeling a little sweet in her heart.

Apart from the discordant sex life, Deng Dawen never let her down in other aspects, especially in terms of money and tickets, the bulk of which were kept in her hands.

No matter how angry the old lady was, she could only howl, which at most caused her ears some pain.

He Yin prepared dinner and went out with a bottle of wine.

At night, Xu Yao turned on the electric fan and taught Xu Jiaan to read.

The child is very smart and can remember everything she teaches him once.

She teaches slowly, but according to the current progress, Xu Jiaan will be able to finish the first-grade curriculum by self-study before school starts in September.

I wonder if the school allows skipping grades?

Xu Yao was thinking with her chin propped up, when she heard a slight sound of a door opening outside.

She put on her shoes, opened the door a crack, and saw a figure leaving.

"Mom?" Xu Jiaan didn't understand why she was behaving like a thief.

After closing the door, Xu Yao noticed the sweat on the child's neck, took out a rubber band from her dressing box, and tied up his hair.

Xu Jiaan, who had never tied his hair before, felt his scalp a little tight. He touched his ponytail uncomfortably, hesitating whether to take it off.

“Only girls tie their hair.”

"There's no one else seeing us, so I just want to ask if you feel cool or not?" Xu Yao squinted his eyes and lay down like Ge You.

Xu Jiaan was thinking about Xu Yao's behavior. Xu Yao always acted according to his own wishes, so he had to follow his own heart!

Avoiding the idlers in the courtyard, Ji's mother sneaked out and walked south along the street.

Niu Xufang's home lives in the old tube-shaped building at the southernmost end.

When passing by an abandoned old tile house, she heard some noise, picked up a fire stick, stopped and leaned over the door and window to look inside.

Originally a family of three lived here, and they all died in accidents. The street office arranged for two families to live in here one after another, but they all moved out out of fear, saying there were dirty things inside.

It remained empty afterwards.

The white mosquito net fluttered, and the figure inside could not be seen clearly.

That voice is so familiar!

Ji's mother came to Niu Xufang's house in a daze.

At this time, many people are reluctant to turn on the lights and go to bed early.

In the dim light, a petite figure was squatting at the faucet, washing the body of another child, who was about three or four years old.

After taking a shower, she turned on the faucet again and began to scrub the mountain of clothes in the basin.

Seeing that the washing was about to be completed, Ji's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

How can pregnant women, especially in the first three months, soak in cold water for a long time?

"Xufang, your little niece is lying on the bed, come up and change the sheets."

"Coming right up."

Ji's mother watched Niu Xufang running up and down in fear, feeling uncomfortable for a moment.

Although I still dislike her, I feel a little more sympathy for her.

Xu Yao woke up from the bed holding Xu Jiaan. Without Ji Zhangyu bothering her, she got up before seven o'clock.

When the mother and son went out, they saw Ji's mother processing duck feathers in front of the door. Xu Yao swallowed her saliva and greeted her. Ji's mother smiled and asked them to go for breakfast.

In the morning, we had Ji’s original Roujiamo, served with sweet malted milk.

Xu Yao and Xu Jiaan both ate a lot.

Thinking that the street office would still be open on Saturday, Xu Yao took Xu Jiaan to transfer the grain and oil relations first.

When they left, Ji Bai and his sister got up in the room.

There were many people in the compound at that time, and Xu Yao took Xu Jiaan to call people one by one.

Zhu Zhongju, who was washing sheets by the sink, wiped the sweat off her face and stared at them, "Where are you going so early?"

"Transfer your household registration and take An An to get a haircut." Xu Yao said kindly.

Zhu Zhongju was looking at the bed sheets in the basin, and then she paused when she heard Ji Qinshi's voice calling her to wash the dishes.

"Go quickly before the sun comes out."

Back in the room, looking at Ji Qinshi who kept finding fault with her, Zhu Zhongju suddenly felt tired.

Why is it that she, a city girl, who married a high-ranking battalion commander, cannot live as happily as a country boy?

What she is most proud of is that she is a serious worker, while Xu Yao is not.

Now Xu Yao has also become a worker, and she is indeed completely outdone.

But the mother-in-law is kind, and it doesn't matter if the man has a high position, because the couple only see each other a few times throughout the year. Unlike her, her husband is serving in the army in the same place.

You can see me anytime you want.

A smile broke out on Zhu Zhongju's face. When the unit has a holiday tomorrow, she will go to the military region to see her man!

Xu Yao took Xu Jiaan to the street office, where the staff carefully checked the official seal of the winery, glanced at the certificate and other documents of the Xiahe Village Production Brigade, and quickly transferred the household registration for the mother and daughter.

"Mom, have we become city dwellers now?" Xu Jiaan asked, touching the newly-issued household registration certificate.

"Yes, are you happy?"

Xu Jiaan shook his head honestly.

He will still live in the city whether he changes his household registration or not, so what difference does it make to him whether he changes his household registration or not?

Nowadays, children can go to school regardless of their household registration, and An An is not old enough to receive food rations. If you think about it carefully, there is really no difference between transferring the household registration or not.

Xu Yao took him to a barber shop with a smile on her face.

She has no other requirements for hairstyle, just that it must be short, the shorter the better, because children's hair grows fast.

Xu Jiaan, who was getting his hair cut for the first time in his life, sat down stiffly, his face tense, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the barber's instructions, not daring to move.

He was afraid that the thing pushing his hair would dig his head open like an excavator.

"Alright." The barber put down his tools with a smile, patted Xu Jiaan's hair, and praised him for sitting still. "See if you like it, kid."

Xu Jiaan was so nervous just now that he didn't have the mood to pay attention to his hairstyle at all.

Looking at himself in the mirror, with a head that looked like a kiwi fruit, he pursed his lips, looked at Xu Yao as if he was about to cry, and put up his hand to block it.

“I have no hair.”

"It looks very nice, and its hairstyle is very similar to your father's." Xu Yao paid the money and took Xu Jiaan home.

Xu Jiaan recalled Ji Changyu's hairstyle, and the moisture in his eyes gradually faded away.

As soon as the mother and son entered the house, they heard Ji's mother instructing Ji Yanyu to invite Niu Xufang to come home and play in her name.
