Chapter 261 Envy and Jealousy
“Zhou Yan used to make baby food for the child, but I don’t know how to make it.”
Su Nian realized that saying it like that would make others think she was lazy.
He then changed his tune, saying, "Ni needs someone by her side all the time and doesn't have time to cook."
Gu Yihan stopped talking after hearing this.
Seeing that Gu Yihan was not in a good mood, Su Nian did not want to disturb her. She took out some money from her pocket, handed it to her, and stood up to say goodbye.
Half an hour later
"Honey, I'm home." Lu Huailin called out to the living room as he parked his bicycle.
Gu Yihan walked out of the living room and looked at the unusually excited Lu Huailin. She glared at him with annoyance and said, "What good thing is there that makes you so happy?"
Lu Huailin smiled but didn't say anything, and strode over to his wife's side.
Before she could react, he picked her up.
"ah!"
Gu Yihan screamed in fright.
She felt herself suddenly lifted into the air, and instinctively tried to grab Lu Huailin's hair, but missed.
His hair was too short to hold.
What are you doing!
Lu Huailin didn't have time to explain. He carried his wife straight into the bedroom, pressed her onto the bed, and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
He whispered, "Honey, finally it's just the two of us at home."
After saying that, he leaned down and kissed her directly.
His daughter-in-law's lips were still so soft, light, and fresh; he could never get enough of them.
It's been too long since we've had a truly enjoyable time together.
Lu Huailin moved quickly and fiercely.
"Slow down..."
"It can't be slow," Lu Huailin said through gritted teeth.
Afterwards, Lu Huailin lay on top of Gu Yihan, holding her tightly, and panted, "Wife, how did you feel?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's ears turned bright red.
Who asks such a blunt question?
Enraged, she pushed Lu Huailin away, pulled the thin blanket over herself, and turned her back to him without saying a word.
Lu Huailin chuckled as he looked at his wife's shy expression, then reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms before closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
afternoon
Gu Yihan glanced at her wrist. It was six o'clock. She could go pick up Hao Hao.
She called out to Lu Huailin, who was kneading noodles in the kitchen, "Is it ready yet?"
"It'll be ready soon." Lu Huailin said as he deftly cut the noodles with a knife, "No need to rush, just go to the daycare before seven o'clock."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan walked to the kitchen door and saw Lu Huailin shaking the cut noodles in his hand.
"Aren't you worried at all about whether Hao Hao will be bullied?"
Lu Huailin chuckled upon hearing this, took off his apron, and went to the washstand to wash his hands.
He turned to Gu Yihan and smiled, "Honey, don't worry, Hao Hao is clever and won't be bullied."
After saying that, he took her hand, locked the gate, and walked towards the nursery.
nursery
After greeting the security guard, Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin went directly to Hao Hao's classroom.
She carefully peered through the window, watching Hao Hao stagger as he chased after the ball.
Just as the little hand was about to grab the ball.
He was grabbed by another child of the same age behind him, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.
He pouted, about to cry, but then looked around and, seeing no one coming to comfort him, immediately composed himself.
"Thump." The little boy who had just pulled Hao Hao also fell on his bottom.
When Hao Hao saw this, he clapped his hands and giggled.
Yan Xin, who was watching the children play, immediately stood up when she saw Gu Yihan and called out to Hao Hao, "Hao Hao, your mother has come to pick you up."
Hao Hao's eyes lit up when he heard Yan Xin's words. He turned his little head and looked towards the door.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan quickly pulled Lu Huailin to the classroom door, looked at Hao Hao with a slight smile, and asked, "Do you miss your mother?"
When Hao Hao saw Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin, he excitedly shouted "Ah ah!"
Before he could stand up, he braced himself on the ground with his hands and quickly pushed forward with his legs, eventually crawling to Gu Yihan's side.
He grabbed her pants, used the leverage to stand up, and spread his arms.
In a childish voice, he called out in reduplicated words: "Mommy, hug me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin picked up Hao Hao before his wife could, and reached out to tap his little nose.
He laughed and said, "Why do you only want Mom and not Dad?"
Hao Hao observed Lu Huailin's expression and knew that his father was in a good mood, so he wrapped his little arms around his neck.
She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, showing her affection.
Gu Yihan couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as she watched Hao Hao's actions; what a little traitor.
On the other side, Yan Xin comforted the remaining children and walked over to Gu Yihan with a smile, knowing that they must have been worried at home all day.
Smiling, she praised, "On Hao Hao's first day, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He was also very good. When eating, he could hold the spoon by himself and eat. The other children in his class admire and like him very much."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glanced at Yan Xin in front of her and smiled slightly, knowing that she had said this on purpose to put her mind at ease.
On the way back
When he ran into Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, who was returning home, Lu Huailin greeted him expressionlessly.
"Your family went to the city for a trip like this?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang couldn't resist asking.
“Pick Hao Hao up from school.” Lu Huailin glanced at Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and said indifferently.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang was taken aback upon hearing this, and glanced at Hao Hao in Lu Huailin's arms.
I subconsciously pursed my lips. What can such a young child learn? It's a waste of money.
...
Wang Family Courtyard
When Deputy Battalion Commander Wang returned home, he saw Zhang Xia holding her baby and breastfeeding.
He sarcastically remarked, "Commander Lu's son, Hao Hao, is only a few months older than our Chun Cao, yet he's already been sent to school."
"They really have too much money to burn; they don't know how to be frugal at all."
Zhang Xia glanced at Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and said indifferently, "They're not short of money, isn't it normal to send them to kindergarten?"
"If you give me an extra 5 yuan every month, we can send Chuncao to daycare too, and then people will be envious and jealous."
Before Deputy Battalion Commander Wang could even speak...
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother came in carrying a bowl of cornbread made from mixed grains. She looked at Zhang Xia suspiciously and asked, "What five yuan?"
“It costs five yuan to go to the nursery,” Zhang Xia said coldly, glancing at Deputy Battalion Commander Wang’s mother.
“A little girl, she grows up, receives a dowry, gets married, and doesn’t need to go to school, what a waste…”
Before Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother could utter the last word about money, Zhang Xia jumped up and slammed the door shut as she entered the bedroom.
"Son, you see! This is your wife."
"I haven't even done anything to her yet! She's already trying to get on my good side!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother yelled angrily at her son.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang gave her a cold look. He sneered, "Mother, didn't you force me to marry Zhang Xia?" Without waiting for her reaction, he left the house.
On the other side
Grandma Gu rubbed her lower back as she walked towards Gu Meng's house.
She had just finished washing Gu Meng and her husband's clothes, and she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back.
Although she does laundry at her granddaughter's house, there's a washing machine at home, so she doesn't need to wash clothes by hand at all.
I saw Gu Meng sitting in a chair, humming a little tune and eating sunflower seeds.
She spat out sunflower seed shells all over the floor, frowned, and tried to pretend she didn't see them and turn away.
Gu Meng's shrill voice rang out: "Grandma, are you blind? Can't you see the trash all over the ground?"
