Lu Fan was the first to rush downstairs to make a phone call.
"Mom, where's my wife? Where's Xiaoyingge?"
Lu's mother looked bewildered. "Aren't they at the military region?"
"They're not here. My sister-in-law ran off with them. Mom, please bring them back quickly. How can I live without them?"
How utterly desolate.
After thinking for a while, Lu's mother saw Lu's mother winking and making faces in the direction of the Xiao family, and she understood, so she handed her the telephone receiver.
Grandma Lu picked up the phone and launched into a tirade.
"Serves you right. Who told you to have such a long tongue? Of all people to talk about, you had to talk about Xiao Xie. Those are Shi Shi's eyes. No one warms her bed with their eyes, and you keep poking at her heart."
"Big Six and Little Six are so happy to see their friends, who cares about you?"
"Let me be frank with you, it was Shishi who abducted Yueyue, and it was Da Liu and Xiao Liu who abducted Xiao Yingge. The two friends played in the compound for a while and had lunch before being sent away."
"Grandma, I was wrong. Please bring my wife and daughter over."
For the first time, Lu Fan understood the true meaning of "women and petty people are difficult to deal with."
But it just so happens that it's not his woman or his mistress.
That hurts.
That's so heartbreaking.
"It's late. They've gone back to G City. It's normal for Yueyue to miss her family and go back to keep them company. They're being picked up by a private jet, so we're all at ease. You'll just be left alone at home."
Grandma Lu was overjoyed to see her beloved great-granddaughter in the morning, and she didn't care whether her grandson was right or wrong.
After thinking for a moment, she continued to insert tubes into the lungs of other people.
"Aren't there a few brats next to you who want to make phone calls but don't know where to call? Tell them they've all gone back to their mothers' homes."
"Yueyue was hoping we would come back for New Year's Eve, but Wanwan told Yueling and Mingzhu that she would spend the New Year at her parents' home on the island, so that those brats would give up."
Zhang Dong and his two companions, who had overheard everything clearly over the phone, were devastated; it was like a bolt from the blue.
Sister-in-law, how could you be so cruel? Beijing and the island are worlds apart! Ugh!
Xie Lin chuckled as he watched the dejected group of four return.
Haha, my wife is really good at pinpointing the vital point.
Yun Yousheng, Deng Peng, and Zhao Sheng felt better; no one was warming their beds anymore.
A few heads peeked out from next door.
"Hey, Brother Lu, Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, Brother He, what do you guys know that you're having an epileptic fit? Can you tell me now?"
"Yeah, we've been waiting for ages, what's wrong?"
Lu Fan and the other three: ...The final blow, damn it, it was a fatal stab to the heart.
After Xie Lin finished laughing, he offered a fake reassurance, "Didn't the leader say that the rest of the time will be semi-closed? We'll be spending more time on the mountain than in the dorms, so it's more suitable for them to go home."
suitable?
That's a good idea.
"Brothers, let's get him."
Lu Fan was the first to rush over.
The other six swarmed forward.
The Xiao family.
Shishi was unaware that her stinky egg had been ganged up on, and she called the island right on time.
"Shen Bingshan, did Xiao Liangzi deliver the people? Did you receive the roast duck and vegetables? They were bought by Grandma Shen for Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Niannian."
"I bought the other 10 roast ducks. I gave one to Aunt Yao, Aunt Liu, Sister Guo, and Sister Cao, and the other 9 to my younger brother and his friends."
“Xingxing’s family gets a share, but my younger brother’s share doesn’t count, because I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”
"There are too many people, so I won't take care of the adults. These are all for the children. Please help me distribute them evenly and remind them to study hard."
I happened to run into my tenth brother and sister-in-law at the military region, so I took my little nephew back to the Shen family.
When Grandma Shen learned that the plane was going to take people to an island, she missed her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law, so she packed a few hearty dishes and two roast ducks and asked Liang Jianbin to help deliver them.
Shen Yijin hummed in agreement. "Received it. Liang Jianbin has already returned. Thank you, sister-in-law. I will properly divide up your little brother and the six little brothers' friends."
"No need to be polite. Grandma Shen asked you to prepare for New Year's Eve. Xiao Liangzi is going to pick up Sister Yue and bring her back to Beijing. He also said that it would be convenient to bring Sister Yuanyuan and Sister Niannian back to Beijing by plane."
"If you can't come back, you'll have to spend the New Year alone."
Having already learned the news from her grandmother, and then being notified a second time, Shen Yijin pursed her lips and mumbled an "Mmm."
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Sister-in-law, why were Comrade Yue and the others picked up and dropped off by plane when they came back?"
Liang Jianbin was assigned as Zhou Shi's personal driver. This was a public resource, and unless there was a special reason, no one else could use him.
Even his parents and grandparents, if they urgently need to use a plane, they need to apply for permission.
Shishi reluctantly brought up the whole story of how Lu Fan and the others made fun of Xie Lin.
"Shen Bingshan, don't they deserve it? They can't go home for the New Year, and their wives and children aren't with them. How pitiful, hahaha."
Shen Yijin: ...Your gloating has made me the laughingstock too.
That's definitely the kind of bad thing you're capable of doing.
He dared not express his dissatisfaction, and even had to praise them against his will, "Yes, yes, they deserve it. Sister-in-law did the right thing. They should have been hung on the clothesline to be exposed to the cold wind."
He feared that if he didn't agree, his wife and children would be taken back to Beijing, and the return journey would be far away.
He was all talk and no action, but his face showed obvious pain and his heart was clenching with regret.
He suspected that he had become too poetic, and had lost his sense of self.
Two days ago, Su Rui, whom he hadn't contacted for several years, called him because of work, and he learned about the construction team's remarkable achievements in the Beijing compound.
Sure enough, Wreck-It Ralph is always so...lively wherever he is.
After talking for a while, Shen Yijin hung up the phone. He sighed deeply and resigned himself to going back to distribute the roast ducks. After that, he still had things to do.
Is it appropriate for a one- or two-year-old to eat roast duck?
