Chapter 147: Three Children, Each with Their Own Minds
Li Jingchu pouted, and Zhou Yong looked at her and saw what she didn't understand.
Apparently the two brothers were having a snowball fight, and Li Jingen hurt Li Jingchu, and then the boy didn't get any advantage, so he went into the house to complain.
Knowing what was going on, Zhou Yong felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Li Jingen pulled at the corner of his father's clothes, intending to let him hug him.
Zhou Yong picked up his younger son and looked at his older son.
"Goudan, Dad has told me many times that as a man, you can't complain when you encounter something..."
Li Jingchu looked aggrieved after what Zhou Yong said and lay on Li Baotian's shoulder without saying a word. Li Jingen curled his lips, and the boy looked as if he was gloating.
After educating his eldest son, Zhou Yong did not forget to educate his younger son.
He was talking excitedly when Li Caiyun and Zhang Guifang came back from visiting relatives.
My goodness! When Li Jingchu saw his mother and grandmother, he burst into tears as if he had suffered a great injustice. Zhou Yong couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhang Guifang didn't bother to dispel the coldness from her body, and hurriedly picked up her eldest grandson from Li Baotian's arms.
"What's going on?"
Li Jingchu didn't say anything either. Zhang Guifang looked at Li Baotian, asking with her eyes what had happened to her husband.
Li Baotian recounted the story with a smile, leaving Li Caiyun speechless.
Li Jingchu is a little drama queen. He has his own purpose every time he cries.
Everyone understands his temper, so Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun reacted like this.
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "Stop crying, grandma will give you canned yellow peaches..."
The crying stopped abruptly——
Zhou Yong, Li Caiyun, Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang looked at each other, each trying hard to hold back their laughter.
Zhang Guifang shook her head and slapped Li Jingchu on the buttocks: "You little bastard, you are just greedy."
Li Jingchu sniffed, then smiled and hugged Zhang Guifang's neck.
Zhang Guifang took out the canned yellow peaches, and Li Jingchu's eyes lit up.
Li Jingen licked his lips and whispered, "Dad, I want to eat too."
Zhou Yong glanced at his younger son, then carried him to the outer room to get a bowl from the bowl rack.
Li Jingchu reluctantly gave his younger brother a few pieces of fruit pulp, and Li Jingen happily ate the canned food.
The two brothers fell silent. Li Caiyun looked inside and outside the house. She returned to the east room with a puzzled look on her face: "Where is Niuniu?"
After hearing what his young wife said, Zhou Yong slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that his daughter was still in Masanjia!
Li Caiyun smiled and said, "I'll go get the child."
Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun went to visit relatives at Zhang's house early in the morning, leaving the three children at home.
Zhou Yong went to the brigade and Zhou Kexin insisted on following him. On the way, the father and daughter met Liu Juan and Ma Yichen, mother and son. The little girl refused to go to the brigade with him and went to Ma San's house to play.
Li Caiyun went to pick up her daughter. When she arrived at Ma Sanjia, Liu Juan was pregnant and holding a baby in her arms, playing with Zhou Kexin and Ma Yichen!
"My sister-in-law is here."
When Zhou Kexin saw her mother, the little girl smiled and came to the edge of the kang and threw herself into Li Caiyun's arms.
Hugging her daughter, Li Caiyun looked at Ma Yiyang in Liu Juan's arms and asked, "Where's Ma San?"
Liu Juan smiled and said, "He went to Captain Xing's house."
Li Caiyun turned around and sat down to chat with Liu Juan about family matters.
Liu Juan is now a mother of two children, and her third child is due in more than a month. Li Caiyun's belly has not grown bigger in these years. Fortunately, she has triplets, otherwise she would be depressed again.
Even so, sometimes Li Caiyun couldn't understand why she couldn't get pregnant when she and Zhou Yong tried very hard every night?
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Caiyun took her daughter home.
When Zhou Kexin got home, she threw herself on Zhou Yong. He untied the scarf for his daughter and picked her up.
"Did you play naughty things at Uncle Ma's house?"
Zhou Kexin's eyes rolled around, and she hugged Zhou Yong's neck and acted coquettishly: "Dad, I'm so good."
Zhou Yong didn't believe this!
Although Zhou Kexin is a girl, she is more naughty than the two brothers Li Jingchu and Li Jingen.
And this girl is very brave. She is an expert at causing trouble at home.
Among the three children, Li Jingen is the most obedient, but this kid is mean and dares to fight. In any case, he must not suffer any loss.
They bring endless laughter to the family, but there are also some headaches.
When they are young, every child is very cute. As they grow older, they gradually form their own opinions and personalities and are no longer as well-behaved and obedient as before.
Sometimes they would argue endlessly or even start a fight over trivial matters.
It can be said that these three children are extremely smart, cunning, and have eight hundred minds in their heads.
Zhou Yong pinched his daughter's cheeks: "Really? I'll ask your Aunt Liu Juan later."
When Zhou Kexin heard this, she smiled, hugged Zhou Yong's neck, and gave him a kiss on the face.
"Dad, I'm hungry."
Zhou Yong glanced at Zhou Kexin who changed the subject. If he guessed correctly, this girl must have done something bad in Ma Sanjia's house.
He put his daughter on the ground, and Zhou Kexin ran to find Zhang Guifang who was cooking.
Li Baotian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to chat with Zhou Yong about the previous topic.
"Or we can draw lots, and whoever draws the lottery gets it."
Drawing lots to allocate job quotas is a last resort.
Zhou Yong thought about it and felt that this was inappropriate: "Dad, some families live with several sons. When drawing lots, whose name should be written on the slip? If it's not handled properly, it may cause family conflicts. In more serious cases, the brothers may even fight over the quota..."
Li Baotian was almost going bald: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you think we should do?"
At present, Zhou Yong had no good solution to the problem, and the father-in-law and son-in-law stared at each other.
Dinner was ready and the seven of them sat around the kang table.
While eating, Zhang Guifang mentioned what happened at her mother's home. Her nephew wanted to move to Huaixi Village.
Li Baotian paused while eating and asked, "You didn't agree?"
With the continuous development of Huaixi Village's economy, it has long become the richest village in Hongqi Commune. Therefore, people from all over the surrounding villages want to settle here.
In the past few years, more than 30 families have moved in through relatives and connections, which has caused considerable pressure on the village.
Some time ago, the village cadres held a meeting to discuss the issue and decided not to accept the relocated households.
Zhang Guifang frowned slightly. She understood Li Baotian's difficulties, but she was still a little worried: "Others can move in, so what's the problem with my nephew?"
Now Li Baotian and Zhou Yong have the final say on all matters in Huaixi Village Brigade. As long as one of them nods, the matter can be done.
Li Baotian pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the chopsticks: "You know the situation is special now."
Zhang Guifang muttered, "What's so special about this? Isn't it just a matter of your words?"
As the spring planting season is approaching, many people want to take advantage of this period to move to Huaixi Village so that they can get food rations in the fall and go up the mountain to pick mountain products to support their families.
Zhou Yong noticed that Li Baotian was looking at him for help, and glanced at Zhang Guifang: "Mom, let's wait for this matter. Many people want to move to Huaixi Village to settle down. My dad and I are really in a difficult situation..."
