Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Eavesdropping

At noon, Zhang Yuandong came to the hospital early, helped Wang Tingting take her luggage home, and then hurried home to cook. When Lin Yue and Wang Tingting returned home, dinner was already served.

Because she had to recuperate after childbirth, Wang Tingting went to her room as soon as she got home. Lin Yue brought her food into the room and found that it was very warm, not cold at all. The children knew that Wang Tingting was discharged from the hospital today, so they heated the kang very attentively, fearing that she and the baby would be frozen.

Lunch was prepared by Zhang Yuandong, in his style, with stewed venison, cold cabbage shreds, stir-fried radish strips and potato shreds. It looked very rich, but the venison was bland, the radish strips were too salty, and the potato shreds were mushy and doughy.

Wang Tingting was not picky and ate whatever was available. However, after finishing the meal, she could not help but say sarcastically, "I think Zhang Yuandong should really learn some cooking skills from Xiao Shitou."

Zhang Yuandong came over to clean up the dishes. Upon hearing this, his face darkened and he said sarcastically, "You're not much better than me!"

Wang Tingting didn't expect him to hear it. She touched her nose embarrassedly and didn't refute it for the first time.

After finishing their meal, several children all crowded in here, playing with the little brother's hands and touching his little face.

The baby in confinement looks different every day. The little guy is no longer the red and wrinkled boy, but has become a little fat boy.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, so Lin Yue asked several children to carry the little guy to the yard to bask in the sun. The group of children were so happy that they picked up the little brother and ran out in a flash.

Lin Yue and Wang Tingting were not worried because Zhang Yuandong had already followed them slowly. The two looked outside for a while, and Lin Yue asked, "Haven't you chosen a name for the child yet?"

Wang Tingting frowned and thought for a long time, then said hesitantly, "I just thought of a nickname, Xixi, but I haven't decided on a full name yet. Forget it, didn't Zhang Yuandong send a telegram to my father? Let my father come up with the full name!"

Lin Yue shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "This child has been in your belly for such a long time, and it has been several days since it was born. Such a long time is not enough for you to name the child!"

Wang Tingting said helplessly: "It's because I thought of too many names and didn't know which one to use in the end."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded at her, then looked out the window and saw several children carrying their babies out of the house. If he listened carefully, he could even hear the sound of them showing off on the street.

With Zhang Yuandong following them, the two of them were not worried because they had just returned from the hospital. Lin Yue asked Wang Tingting to rest first while she went to pack her things.

She had just taken out the two people's spare clothes and was about to take them to wash when she saw Zhang Yulan coming over.

Lin Yue put down the clothes in his hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhang, you are such a rare guest, come in and sit down!"

Zhang Yulan usually looked timid and introverted, and she was a little hesitant when she spoke, but now she naturally reached out her hand and handed a big silver carp in her hand to Lin Yue, smiling shyly and saying, "I heard that Nurse Wang had just given birth and didn't have anything else to give her. This is the fish that my husband Lao Li went fishing for today. I'm giving this to Nurse Wang to replenish her body."

Lin Yue and her had almost no interactions in normal times, and he did not expect her to be so enthusiastic. He said politely, "Mrs. Zhang, you are too polite. How can we let you spend money? Take it back quickly and keep it for yourselves!"

Zhang Yulan followed Lin Yue into the house, put the fish on the pot, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me. We are all neighbors, and we have to help each other in the future, right? Besides, I also see It’s not easy for Nurse Wang to be alone, so I want to take more care of her!”

Lin Yue led her to sit on the kang in the inner room and exchanged a few polite words with her. Seeing that she came sincerely to make friends, he stopped refusing and changed the topic.

However, Zhang Yulan seemed particularly interested in Wang Tingting's affairs, and inquired, "I just saw your child playing with the baby on the street. He is growing up really well and strong! But... Nurse Wang will have a hard time taking care of the child alone. What is she thinking? Does she have any plans for the future?"

Lin Yue looked at her suspiciously for a while, wondering if this person was here to matchmake for Wang Tingting. But if she wanted to matchmake, she shouldn't have come when Wang Tingting had just given birth. She asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law means..."

Zhang Yulan waved her hands quickly: "How could I have any other intentions? I was just asking casually! I didn't mean anything else!"

Lin Yue nodded and smiled, "How could she have any other ideas? I have heard her say that her biggest wish now is to work hard and raise her child by herself."

Zhang Yulan said anxiously: "Has she never thought about taking another step forward? It will be difficult for her to find a husband with a child!"

Lin Yue frowned, feeling that she was taking Wang Tingting's affairs too seriously. Just as she was about to test her, she saw the group of naughty kids at home rushing in. Wanli held the baby in both hands, as if holding a bomb, afraid that it would get touched. As soon as she entered the door, she shouted, "Mom, hurry up, my brother is in trouble!"

Lin Yue took the child with a frown on her face and instructed Zhang Yuandong to get warm water for the little guy. Just as she was about to change his diaper, she saw Zhang Yulan leaning over and looking at Lin Yue's movements with anticipation, wishing she could help.

When Lin Yue opened the diaper to reveal the little bird inside, she could feel that Zhang Yulan's gaze next to her was obviously burning.

Lin Yue asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law Zhang likes children?"

Zhang Yulan suddenly retracted her head, rubbed her neck uncomfortably, and said with an awkward smile: "Yes, I like him very much. This child is also very lovable and looks really good!"

The boy's parents were both good-looking, so he was not ugly either. Lin Yue smiled and said nothing more, but in his heart he became more suspicious of Zhang Yulan's purpose.

It was noon, time for the kids to take a nap. They had just taken their little brother out for a show, and now they were quiet and sleepy, yawning one after another.

Lin Yue ordered: "Go to the toilet first, and come back to sleep later!" Seeing this, Zhang Yulan knew it was not good to stay any longer, so she got up and said goodbye.

Lin Yue always felt that she seemed to be introducing someone to Wang Tingting. After the others left, she mentally counted all the officers in the army, but could not find any that matched Wang Tingting.

Judging from Zhang Yulan's accent, she is obviously not a local. It is impossible that she was introduced to her brothers at home. Lin Yue was puzzled. Could she be a young soldier in the army who has not yet received a rank?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she shook her head and denied it. Since she couldn't figure it out, she simply put the matter aside and stopped thinking about it.

The five children took turns going to the toilet, which took a little longer. When Little Stone was at home, he was used to peeing on the roadside. Seeing that he had to wait for a number, he simply ran out and stood on the roadside to pee in the field.

It was originally a trivial matter, but unexpectedly, he ran into Xu Jianshe who was strolling on the street.

Xu Jianshe relied on his age to bully younger children in his neighborhood. Xiao Shitou had a thorny face, and Xu Jianshe felt unhappy when he saw him from a distance. He walked over quickly, and kicked Xiao Shitou from behind while he was peeing, pushing him into a ditch on the side of the road.

Little Stone cried out "Ah!" and almost fell off the ditch. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was not injured. But he was really scared. After he stood firmly in the ditch, he didn't care about his pants and let his little bird be blown by the cold wind. He pinched his waist and said angrily: "Who are you? Why did you push me into the ditch?"

Xu Jianshe folded his arms and snorted with a smile: "You don't even know who I am. You are so ignorant! I am the boss of this family district. In this family district, all the children have to listen to me!"

Little Stone rolled his eyes and shouted, "Lingling, Wanli! Come out quickly, someone is here to cause trouble!"

Lingling and Wanli were waiting for Xiao Mushroom and Xiao Sisi to pull up their trousers, but when they heard the voice, they ran out quickly.

As they walked out of the door, they saw the older child standing sideways with his arms folded. Ling Ling frowned and asked, "Who are you? Are you the one who bullied Little Stone?"

Xu Jianshe and his group found a new base. They had not been here recently. Today, they took advantage of the lunch break to take a walk. Unexpectedly, they met so many unfamiliar children. They asked rudely, "Who are you? Where did you come from, little girl?"

Ling Ling said angrily: "You are the little girl! Little Stone, did he bully you just now?"

Little Stone put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "Yes, I was standing here peeing, and he kicked me from behind and pushed me into the ditch. I couldn't even hold my pee. You should avenge me now!"

Xu Jianshe snorted and laughed, "It's just a kick on your foot, what's the big deal! I'm the boss of the family compound, I can bully whoever I want, you have to live in this family compound with peace of mind, and you have to call me boss when you see me in the future!"

Ling Ling clenched her fists tightly and cursed, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you! You're the boss, but besides being older than us, what else is so great about you?"

Xu Jianshe got angry and went forward to push Lingling, wanting to push her down as well. However, Lingling pushed him to the ground with force, causing his butt to hurt badly.

Ling Ling laughed: "You still say you are the boss? You can't even beat me, and you still dare to say you are the boss! Why don't you call me Big Sister and I will protect you!"

Wanli saw that this man had no skills and Lingling could handle it by himself, so he simply ran to the ditch and tried to pull up the small stone.

When Xu Jianshe saw the other little boy walk away, he felt less scared. But because he was humiliated by a little girl, he quickly stood up and was about to attack Lingling again.

Just as he made a move, a little cannonball rushed out from behind Lingling, shouting, "Bad boy, don't bully my sister!" Before he finished speaking, he hit Xu Jianshe's stomach and knocked him far away.

Xu Jianshe was hit so hard that he saw stars and it took him a long time to recover. He saw who the little cannonball that hit him was and said arrogantly, "It's you again, little monster. Just wait for me, I'll deal with you next time!"

Lin Yue waited in the house for a long time, but the children didn't come in. He came out to check and saw this scene. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The little mushroom jumped into his mother's arms and took credit for it: "Little Mushroom is the best. He beat the bad guys away!"
