While cleaning up the mess his daughter made, He Tingchuan glared at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin smiled ingratiatingly: "I just saw her struggling, wanting to go but not daring to, so I told her what we knew. Don't worry, I only touched on the point and didn't really reveal the details."

He Tingchuan blushed and said, "I really want to sew your mouth shut."

Unfazed, Yun Jin shamelessly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek: "Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. I won't say it again next time, okay? I don't say it to just anyone."

Once she admitted her mistake, He Tingchuan couldn't stay angry at all.

He was just trying to scare her; he knew she knew her limits.

It's still a bit awkward, though!

That evening, He Tingchuan had Yun Jin demonstrate the details she hadn't mentioned.

Yun Jin, exhausted and with a broken back: "......"

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. My heart is bitter, but I won't say it.

He Tingchuan, thoroughly enjoying himself, almost wanted to smoke.

They thought the matter was over, but then He Tingchuan and his family had a holiday during the Qingming Festival. The weather had been nice these past few days, so He Tingchuan planned to take the mother and daughter out to fly kites.

Sister-in-law Gao came to Yun Jin and asked her to help look after the child, saying she needed to go to the hospital.

Yun Jin asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Sister-in-law Gao said embarrassedly, "I'm not feeling unwell. We've been thinking about it for a while and decided to have an operation at the hospital. My period was a few days late last month, and I thought I was pregnant. I was worried for several days."

Yun Jin looked completely bewildered.

If she delays by even a few days, she'll assume she's pregnant.

They also suspected the doctor's skills were inadequate, wondering if some patients had slipped through the net.

Every time this happens, He Tingchuan gets a beating from her, and she tells him that if he gets pregnant, he'll be raising the baby.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

“It’s perfect timing that we’re taking Xiaoniangao out to play. There will be lots of people and it’ll be lively. You can leave the children with us and go with peace of mind. We’ll bring them back safe and sound,” Yun Jin assured her.

Sister-in-law Gao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the four children over to Yun Jin. She also told Yun Jin that she couldn't tell anyone about this, as she felt a little embarrassed.

Yun Jin, who shared the same secret, nodded and gave her a reliable look.

He Tingchuan never expected that what was originally a family outing with three people and a dog would now turn into four extra children, not to mention that when they met Li Aimei on the way, she brought her younger brother and sister along as well.

Looking at the ever-growing crowd, and then at the happy little rice cake being carried by his older brothers and sisters in turn, He Tingchuan resigned himself to it.

He Tingchuan's kite could fly, and Xiao Niangao was played with by Li Aimei and the others, while Yun Jin and He Tingchuan watched from the side, and the young couple were responsible for preparing food and drinks.

Yun Jin enjoys picnics and had prepared the ingredients well in advance.

Wanting to eat barbecue, she prepared chicken, pork belly, and vegetables. He Tingchuan lit the charcoal, set up an iron mesh, and started barbecuing. The aroma wafted out, and Yun Jin leaned on his back: "Thank you for your hard work, Chef He. How did I end up with such a handsome and skilled man? Here, have a kiss."

He Tingchuan's lips curled up as he glanced at the children who were having a blast, then turned his head and gave Yun Jinxiang a kiss.

Yun Jin kissed someone and casually grabbed a string of chives, which were grilled to perfection.

Yun Jin not only ate it herself, but also fed it to He Tingchuan. Sure enough, food fed by one's wife tastes the best.

When the food was almost done, Yun Jin called Li Aimei and the others over to eat, and made sure they all washed their hands beforehand. Unexpectedly, so many people came. Fearing there wouldn't be enough to eat, Yun Jin even caught a few fish.

With these few fish, almost ten people were well-fed.

The main thing is that Yun Jin also brought rice cakes. When they were baked on the rack, the sticky rice cakes puffed up, and even the small rice cakes looked tempting to take a bite.

While they were eating rice cakes, they teased the little rice cake: "Time to eat rice cakes, little rice cake, do you want a bite?"

Little Rice Cake was so anxious that she tried to grab it, laughing and joking with them, almost swearing out in her haste: "You guys are bad!"

"Dad, help me!"

"Mommy won't eat cake!"

Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh with a mischievous grin whenever she saw Xiao Niangao like this.

He Tingchuan felt sorry for his beloved daughter who had been teased, and hugged her, saying, "Daddy doesn't eat rice cakes. Rice cakes are the cutest, and Daddy can't bear to eat them."

"I'll eat." Little Rice Cake saw her mother eating with relish, her mouth watering, and she couldn't stop drooling.

He Tingchuan: "..."

Was a father's love misplaced once again?

After a day of fun, Little Rice Cake fell asleep from exhaustion when they returned to the family compound. The group of people returned in high spirits, and many asked them where they had gone.

Li Aimei boasted that she went on a picnic, flew kites, and had a barbecue, saying it was a lot of fun.

Everyone else unanimously agreed that it was fun.

Many children heard this and cried and made a fuss, wanting to go out for barbecue and fly kites, but were eventually suppressed by their parents with force.

They were so envious of Little Rice Cake.

Every time her father takes a vacation, they go out to play, to places they've never been before. Who wouldn't be envious?

Even with this, someone secretly reported Yun Jin, saying she only knew how to indulge in petty capitalism and enjoy that kind of lifestyle.

When Yun Jin found out, she wouldn't swallow her anger. That very day, she started cursing at the place where those women were gathered: "Who said I'm engaging in petty capitalism? You can't do it yourself, so it's my fault?"

"Since you are so hardworking, why don't you remove the weeds in the yard, clean the latrine more often, and take more baths in the bathhouse? Let the political commissar give you extra points and commend you in the whole newspaper."

"Does my going out to have fun bother you? I'm spending my own money, what's it to you?" Yun Jin said mercilessly, "Are you a rat in the gutter, dark and twisted, unable to bear seeing others enjoy life and be full of vigor?"
