Miao Yujiao blushed deeply, "Can't you ever be serious for once?"
"If you were serious, you could have four children."
Miao Yujiao grabbed Li Qingyang's arm and pinched it, saying, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense."
Seeing that the children weren't inside, Li Qingyang pulled Miao Yujiao over and kissed her on the cheek. Miao Yujiao quickly pulled away, her head still looking around.
Seeing that the children were not around, she glared at Li Qingyang, which made Li Qingyang feel much better.
“I saw Lingzi on the street today. I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me.”
Miao Yujiao felt a little sad when she said this. Ding Lingzi always seemed carefree, but she never expected her to be so petty.
Li Qingyang didn't take it to heart, "Maybe he's still a little confused about it."
Miao Yujiao nodded. She really didn't want to do that. She and Ding Lingzi got along quite well.
Tang Bei walked into the courtyard with a puzzled look on his face. Tang Yue looked at him and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"
Tang Bei put the four steamed buns wrapped in cotton cloth back on the stove. "Aunt Ding said that she's steaming buns at home tonight, so she doesn't need ours."
Tang Yue didn't seem to care. "Oh."
Tang Bei continued, "But I clearly saw Hu Zi holding cornbread when he came out to open the door for me. Yuan Yuan and Tuan Tuan's faces lit up with smiles when they saw the steamed buns I gave them."
As I left with the steamed bun, I heard Tuantuan crying.
Lin Cuicui came out of the house and also heard Tang Bei's words.
Her expression remained unchanged, but she understood what Ding Lingzi meant. Tang Yue looked at her mother, "Mom, what's wrong with Aunt Ding?"
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "She must have misunderstood something. It's alright, she'll probably figure it out in a few days."
Tang Yue understood immediately. Was it because Li Qingyang became the brigade leader that she was unhappy?
What does it have to do with her family? Oh, right, it was recommended by her grandfather.
hehe!
"Mom, have you been receiving help from Aunt Ding's family all this time?"
Lin Cuicui nodded, "Yes, since we came here from our home, your Aunt Ding and your Uncle Lu haven't been very helpful. But every time they leave, I give the children some candy and other snacks to take back with them."
A few days ago, I gave your Aunt Miao and Aunt Ding's family ten catties of wild boar meat, along with quite a few large bones.
"Oh, then we shouldn't owe them anything."
Lin Cuicui looked at her youngest daughter, who always took a very practical view of human relationships.
“Daughter, you can’t say that. When your Aunt Ding and the others came to help our family, they didn’t want anything from us. They genuinely wanted to help us.”
Tang Yue nodded, "It's really frustrating that we didn't get a bigger advantage."
Lin Cuicui was speechless. What her daughter said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Old Li chuckled to himself, but he felt a little uneasy inside. He had only said it casually that day, and he hadn't expected Comrade Chang to actually take it to heart.
Actually, it was Li Qingyang who caught Comrade Chang's eye, which proves that he is a capable person. Lu Anjie isn't bad either, he's just too quiet. They've worked together for quite a few days, but Lu Anjie barely says a few words a day. Old Li thinks he's really not suitable to be the team leader.
Tang Bei walked out of the Lu family's house, and Tuantuan started crying, "I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns. Waaaaah."
Ding Lingzi was already annoyed, and her little girl's crying only made her more annoyed. "Alright, stop crying. Didn't we just have meat yesterday? Why do you want steamed buns now? All you ever think about is good food. Don't you know what kind of life you have?"
Seeing that her mother was angry, Tuantuan felt a little wronged, but when she thought of the steamed buns, she couldn't help but continue to cry.
Ding Lingzi's anger flared up instantly. She grabbed Tuantuan, pulled her face down onto her lap, and slapped her bottom repeatedly.
"I'll make you cry, I'll make you crave food. Huh? Eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns, what can you do if you don't eat steamed buns? I'll make you cry, I'll make you cry again."
The sound of slaps echoed in the room, scaring the children so much that they sat to one side, not daring to utter a sound.
Lu Anjie put down her chopsticks and pulled Tuantuan out of Ding Lingzi's arms and into her own.
"Why are you taking your anger out on a child?"
"I'm angry? How am I angry? I just think your child is useless, crying and making a fuss over a steamed bun, it's embarrassing."
Lu Anjie ignored Ding Lingzi and patted Tuantuan's back to comfort her. Tuantuan went into her father's arms, and the energy she had just felt from being threatened by her mother came back up, and she started crying loudly again.
While patting him, Lu Anjie said, "Stop crying, or your mom will beat you again."
Tuantuan was so frightened that she hiccuped, and then her crying gradually subsided. Ding Lingzi sat to the side, sulking, wiping away tears every now and then.
Lu Anjie sighed and wanted to take the child outside for some fresh air, as it was too stuffy inside.
Ding Lingzi pointed at his back and shouted, "If you weren't so spineless, would I have lost face in front of Miao Yujiao?"
"Now that Li Qingyang has become the brigade leader, let's see where you'll find a way to slap your face."
Lu Anjie turned to look at Ding Lingzi, "Even if Li Qingyang doesn't become the captain, I'm not the one who will be the captain."
I know I don't have that ability.
"Useless, you're just a piece of trash."
Lu Anjie stopped in her tracks, turned back to look at her, and said, "Why don't you go with whoever isn't a good-for-nothing?"
Ding Lingzi was so angry that she ran back to her room, lay down on the bed, and cried loudly.
