Chapter 154 Fighting
Ling Ling came back soon. She didn't see Wang Tingting and handed the meal to another nurse. Lin Yue heard Ling Ling's description and knew that it was Captain Zhang's lover Zhou Haixia. Lin Yue had dealt with her several times and knew that she was a warm-hearted person.
She had already prepared the meal and was bringing it to the table when she turned around and saw Lingling and Wanli huddled together, whispering in a mysterious manner.
When children grow up, they will have their own little secrets. Lin Yue had no intention of disturbing them, but when he walked nearby, he suddenly heard two children whispering: "Kong Jianguo is so pitiful. His father wants to change his mother, and it's Liu Ying, who I dislike the most. I heard that stepmothers are terrible."
Lin Yue's feet stopped, and he asked Ling Ling in disbelief: "Ling Ling, where did you hear this?"
The two children were startled and turned around at the same time, as if they had been caught doing something wrong. They stood still, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Lin Yue softened her tone, pulled the two of them aside, and asked in a low voice: "I don't want to scold you, I'm just curious, where did you hear these words from?"
Ling Ling looked at Wan Li first, and seeing that he didn't object, she said hesitantly, "That's it... when I just came back, I heard Kong Jianguo's father and that nurse Liu Ying talking about this in those shabby houses behind the hospital."
Lin Yue looked at Ling Ling and asked a separate question: "Which way did you take the shortcut on your way back?"
There is a row of abandoned bungalows behind the hospital. Two roofs collapsed due to heavy snow last winter. They have been idle until the weather warms up before repairs. Everyone is afraid that there are hidden dangers in the houses, so they don't allow children to go there.
Ling Ling gave Wan Li a helpless look that said "I knew it would be like this" and quickly promised, "Mom, I will never leave there again!"
Lin Yue tapped her forehead and said helplessly: "You are such a smart guy, but you are the fastest to admit your mistakes!" You admit your mistakes quickly, but you just don't correct them.
She also instructed: "Don't spread these words outside. You are bound to hear them wrongly. Captain Kong and Nurse Liu may not know each other!"
Lingling raised her head and retorted, "They know each other! My brother and I saw them fighting several times!"
"fight?"
Wanli nodded, "Yeah, the beating was really fierce. Uncle Kong hugged Nurse Liu tightly and bit her on the neck!"
Lin Yue was so annoyed that he quickly said, "You two, please don't go out and say anything. This kind of thing is not suitable for you kids to discuss."
Wanli said quickly, "Mom, we know. Uncle Kong has already told us that he and Nurse Liu Ying had some misunderstandings and asked us not to tell anyone, otherwise they will be punished."
Lin Yue was so angry that these two adults caused such a thing and even implicated the two children.
Lingling and Wanli are over six years old. At their age, if they had grown up in the countryside, they would be able to see this kind of thing right away. However, they have spent the past few years in a relatively simple military camp. Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong also tried their best to avoid being overly affectionate in front of the children. Therefore, they knew this kind of thing in theory, but did not understand it in practice, which made it easy for the two of them to get away with it.
Ling Ling asked innocently at this time: "Mom, Uncle Kong bullied Nurse Liu so much, why did she want to be Kong Jianguo's stepmother? Could it be that because Uncle Kong beat her, she wanted to beat Uncle Kong's two sons?"
Lin Yue was wondering how to explain it when he heard Zhang Yuandong calling from inside the house, "Come in and have dinner. What are you two whispering about with your mother?"
The two siblings responded quickly, and followed their mother, one on each side, as they walked inside.
Seeing Lin Yue's sad face, Zhang Yuandong couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Did those two bastards make you angry again?"
Lin Yue quickly waved his hand and whispered, "It's something else. I'll tell you later!"
She smiled and invited Brother Zhang to eat. The venison was tender and delicious no matter how it was cooked. Brother Zhang praised Lin Yue's cooking skills repeatedly, which made Lin Yue feel a little embarrassed.
The guests enjoyed the meal, but Brother Zhang was an honest man. He came here specifically to deliver something. Not long after lunch, he asked to leave. Lin Yue advised: "Brother, you have finally come here, how can you leave so soon? You haven't even had a good look at our environment! Take a rest for a while, let Yuandong take you around in the afternoon, and you can tell Auntie and Grandpa about it when you go back, right? Yuandong doesn't have to go to work tomorrow, so he can go and see you off."
Zhang thought about it and said, "Is it okay for me to stay here and cause you trouble?"
Lin Yue waved his hands quickly: "No, no, we are a family, why do you think so, brother?"
Zhang Yuandong echoed, "Brother, I will drive a horse-drawn sled to take you there tomorrow, so you don't have to walk such a long way."
Brother Zhang rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll stay for one night! But... this time when I came, my mother also gave me a task, asking me to ask a few children if they want to come to my place to play. These two twins will soon go to elementary school, and my mother said that they should stay for a while before they start school, otherwise there will be no chance in the future."
Lin Yue forced a smile after hearing this. She had never been separated from the children, and in her heart she was not very happy about them moving in. However, Zhang Yuandong was obviously very moved, his eyes were three points brighter than usual, and he agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, seeing Lin Yue's reluctant expression, he stopped talking and said, "It's not urgent. You have a big family. If these children go there, it will only cause trouble for the family!"
Brother Zhang waved his hand and said, "How can you cause trouble? You don't know that my naughty boy has been talking about you every day since you left last time."
Lin Yue wanted to refuse, but suddenly she thought of Captain Kong and Liu Ying, and she felt relieved. She smiled and said, "I'm so happy that Auntie loves these children, but I still have to ask them what they think."
After saying that, he turned to the children and asked, "Did you hear what uncle said just now? What do you think?"
Brother Zhang said quickly, "I heard that you might go, so Little Stone is very happy and has prepared a lot of food and fun for you. By the way, have you ever caught rabbits? This time, go with uncle, and uncle will take you to the mountains to catch rabbits!"
The two siblings were very excited and nodded quickly in agreement: "Let's go!" Then they turned to Lin Yue and said: "Mom, Little Stone is our good friend. We want to go and play with him. Is that ok? Don't worry, we will take good care of our brothers and sisters."
Lin Yue smiled helplessly and said, "Forget about my younger brothers and sisters. They are still too young, so we won't let them go. You can go if you want, but you must be obedient, don't be naughty, and don't run around. Can you do that?"
The brother and sister quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes!"
With Lin Yue's permission, the two children spent the rest of the time packing their own luggage. They wanted to take all the clothes, toys and maltose, some for themselves and some to share with their good friends.
Zhang Yuandong took Brother Zhang for a walk around the family area and the military hospital. Many places in the camp were off-limits to outsiders, so they finished their tour soon. When they came back, they ran into Wang Tingting who had just gotten off work.
The military hospital had just distributed spring work clothes and some benefits today. Wang Tingting was holding the work clothes and two aluminum lunch boxes in one hand and two fish in the other. It seemed that they were also caught today.
Zhang Yuandong saw that she was struggling to hold it, so he took it without saying a word. Zhang looked at Wang Tingting curiously, wondering who she was, but she actually followed them into Zhang Yuandong's house.
Seeing the three of them coming back together, Lin Yue hurried out of the house and said with a smile, "You guys came back at the right time. Xiaozhuang just sent us some fish, both big and small, about seven or eight in total! Come and take a look, how do you want to eat the fish?"
Even if Brother Zhang was slow to react, he could tell that this lesbian had a special relationship with his cousin's family. However, he felt a little strange as to why a pregnant woman had moved into his cousin's house.
There were quite a few fish in the basin, but unfortunately no one knew which one they were. The only one in the room who could recognize all the fish was Brother Zhang. However, he still couldn't cook, so Lin Yue didn't expect him to explain how to handle the fish. He only asked how they tasted and whether there were many fish bones.
Because there were guests at home, Lin Yue took out the only rice left at home. Little Mushroom was not happy. He had been eating three-in-one noodles every day for the past few days. Now he could finally eat white rice, but he was still not happy and even ate less rice.
Lin Yue coaxed him for a long time but he was still like this, so he couldn't help but ask: "What are you angry about? At least tell me!"
The little mushroom grunted for a long time before finally saying, "Little mushroom wants to go find grandma too!"
Lin Yue didn't expect that this little guy was silent for a long time and was thinking about this. He found it funny and asked, "If you all go, what will I do? I will miss you!"
Little Mushroom hugged Lin Yue's neck and said with tears in his eyes: "Mom will go too!"
Lin Yue shook his head helplessly, "There's not enough space in your grandma's house to accommodate so many people."
The little mushroom didn't know what to do. He thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any good idea.
Brother Zhang advised: "Why not let him go too? There are many children at home, so one more won't be a problem. We can take care of them together."
Lin Yue wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yuandong said, "Why don't you let him go? It'll give him some exercise. Otherwise, it won't be nice for him to stay in his parents' arms every day."
Zhang Yuandong looked at Lin Yue's expression and knew that she was reluctant to leave her children, so he whispered to her, "Let them go. They can stay for a week at most. I'll pick them up next weekend!"
