Shishi said she was serious about listening to Xiaofanzi's gossip, and she decided to do one last unconventional thing before following the rules.
Two washing machines, one for Xie's family and one for Xiao's family.
There's a lot of work to do, like building a platform and digging ditches to drain water.
When Xie Lin and He Chaoyang returned from installing the washing machine at the Xiao family's house, they found that none of the three mischievous kids were home.
He glanced at his watch; it was past seven, almost eight, and it was pitch black outside.
"Auntie, haven't they come back from playing yet?"
"Yes, he ran out as soon as he finished his practice questions, carrying a bag of things. He looked very excited, I don't know where he was going to play."
“I just looked next door, and Xingxing is home, so the three of them went out to play.”
That's really strange.
She usually brings her whole retinue of younger brothers wherever she goes, saying it's the queen's pomp and circumstance. Today is a bit unusual.
"Xiao Xie, why don't we go look for them? It's getting dark, and I'm worried they might have gone to play at the beach."
The waves are bigger at night than during the day. Even the most resilient child is still just a child; if they get swept into the sea...
Han Shuyun didn't dare to think any further and pulled He Chaoyang to leave.
Xie Lin stopped them, "Auntie, Uncle, you wait at home. I know where they are, I'll go find them."
Han Shuyun inexplicably gleaned a message from his helpless expression: "They went to listen to gossip?"
Xie Lin nodded affirmatively.
Han Shuyun grew anxious. "Xiao Xie, hurry up and bring them back. You can't listen to gossip at this hour."
As night fell, there was no entertainment except turning off the lights and going to sleep. Just thinking about the children hearing inappropriate sounds made Han Shuyun blush.
Xie Lin lifted his leg and walked out.
He wasn't worried that his three kids would hear that kind of gossip, because everyone there was a single guy.
Haha, this kid's gotten clever; he's even figured out how to exploit loopholes.
In the hazy night, three figures were vaguely cast outside a window.
The lights were off inside, but the person lying inside was not asleep.
"Old Lu, have you really fallen from grace? Was it Old Zhang who led you astray, or Brother Lin?"
"Screw your depravity, I just followed Brother Lin's advice and reformed."
"Hehe, you always use Brother Lin as an excuse. I think you're bewitched by Comrade Yue. You look just like Old Zhang today, so worthless."
"By the way, Lao Zhang, isn't your brother-in-law coming back tomorrow? Oh my, he'll be able to be all lovey-dovey with Comrade Pei soon, aren't you happy?"
"Hehe, of course I'm happy. I've been thinking about it for so long. On the day Brother Lin and Sister-in-law have their banquet, I really hope that Wanwan and I can have one too."
"Hey bro, it'll be time to pay our dues again soon. Goodbye, my cigarettes."
"Let me tell you something in secret. The other day, I was learning traditional Chinese medicine from Master Tao, and I deduced from a remark Master Tao inadvertently revealed that Brother Lin is actually still a virgin."
"What? We've been married for so long and he hasn't even had meat yet. How can he have the nerve to pressure us about marriage? Do you guys think Lin-ge might be impotent?"
"Haha, that's possible. Even with a sister-in-law as beautiful as you, Xiao Lin can't get it up. The chances of it not working are greater than 70%."
"Haha, I think it's 80. Old Zhang, you'll probably eat meat on your wedding night, right? You can't refuse, you're the only brother among us who can legally and legitimately eat meat."
"Old Lu, are you sure you can handle this? Comrade Yue is so strong, are you going to be the one on the bottom? Hahaha, I'm actually quite optimistic about Comrade Yue... Oh, Old Lu, are you just embarrassed and angry?"
"Go to hell, no matter how strong Comrade Yue is, I'm still the one on top. I'm a real man, a pure one."
"Oh my, I don't know who was saying that he and Comrade Yue have only just started dating and it's not certain that they'll go all the way, yet they already want to be the one on top. How shameful."
"I'm shameless, but I have a partner. What do you know, you single dog? Besides, we share the same beliefs and both believe in gods and Buddhas. You can't be jealous."
"Old Deng, what's the point of you biting me like this? If you're so tough, go ask Brother Lin to his face if he's up to it. You're too cowardly, aren't you?"
"What do I have to be afraid of? If Brother Lin were here, I would definitely ask seriously and never back down."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Should I ask Brother Lin if it's not okay? It's been so long since I've had my sister-in-law..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The question "Why?" sounded like it came from outside, and the voice sounded very familiar.
Deng Peng timidly went to open the door. He had just said that Brother Lin was no good. Would Brother Lin take him down?
"Brother Lin, is that you?"
The others held their breath, feeling really guilty for being caught talking badly about others.
Especially since this person is the big brother who holds their lifeline in his hands.
No one answered, and it was quiet outside. Deng Peng breathed a sigh of relief and carefully closed the door.
"I was so scared! I thought it was Brother Lin coming over. If he finds out we said he couldn't do it, he'll definitely train us like crazy tomorrow."
"Okay, you'll complete a full day's training tomorrow morning. No training is allowed until you finish."
Silence, a deathly silence.
Wow, wow, wow, he's really the patriarch. Why is he here?
Wait, why is his voice coming from behind?
The seven of them walked toward the back window without prior arrangement.
Xie Lin felt both helpless and amused when he saw the three badgers actively feeding the mosquitoes.
Especially the guy wearing his military uniform jacket, with his head covered by his vest to make sure his long hair wasn't visible, and then wearing his military cap.
That brat! She said female comrades shouldn't go into male dorms, so she just dressed up as a male. How clever of me!
The room fell silent. Shishi, still not satisfied with the conversation, rested her head on the windowsill.
"Hey, why aren't you guys talking? Hurry up and continue, Shishi wants to hear more."
