Chapter 180 Chapter 180 Little Thoughts

The two kids haven't eaten anything all morning. They were just kicked out by their mother, so they probably didn't have any lunch this afternoon.

Kong Jianguo was a little older and could still endure it, but Kong Jianping was only six years old. He was already hungry, and now he was hurt by the pinching. His crying became louder and louder, and it seemed like he couldn't stop crying anymore.

Kong Jianguo was very angry and yelled at his brother, "Can you please stop crying?" Unexpectedly, it didn't work and the brother cried even harder.

Lin Yue rubbed her forehead. She didn't have a good impression of the two children, and now she was even more impatient to bother with them. But the two children had come to her, and she couldn't just abandon them on the street.

Just when I was in trouble, I saw Tao Laixiang turning from the corner.

She said from a distance: "Hey, I was wondering who was crying in the street, it turns out it was you two! Why are you not going to school in broad daylight and pestering Aunt Lin? What are you doing?"

Kong Jianping just kept sobbing, and no one could say anything. Kong Jianguo did speak, but Lin Yue felt something was wrong as soon as he started talking: "Auntie Tao, Auntie Lin..."

He stopped talking here, lowered his head, and looked like he had done something wrong.

This pause made it seem as if Lin Yue had bullied his brother and made him cry. This child was only ten years old, but he was really amazing. Lin Yue had to admire him.

She smiled wryly and said, "It's okay, just tell me, what's wrong with me, Aunt Lin?"

Kong Jianguo looked up in surprise and said, "No, auntie, you misunderstood. I didn't say anything to you. I know you did it for our own good!"

This is true. If he were a few years older and his acting skills were more mature, it would be hard for others not to think wrongly. Fortunately, Tao Laixiang was familiar with his family and knew his temper. She simply did not ask him and turned to ask his brother: "Hey, why is Xiao Pingping crying so pitifully? Talk to Auntie, what happened?"

Kong Jianguo was afraid that he would say something nonsense, so he held his brother's arm tightly. But Kong Jianping was already hurt by the grip, and he was young and didn't know so many twists and turns. He felt wronged, so he simply shook off his brother's hand, ran behind Tao Laixiang and hid, and pointed at his brother and cried, "He pinched me!"

Tao Laixiang felt the child's dependence on her when she was grabbed by the leg. The smile on her face instantly became more sincere. She patted the child on the head and said with a smile, "Okay, stop crying. You've cried like a little cat. Let your brother apologize to you. We are brothers. We should get along well and not quarrel!"

The last sentence was directed to Kong Jianguo.

Kong Jianguo nodded awkwardly and said, "I may have hurt him accidentally, and I didn't even notice it."

Kong Jianping was not going to do it anymore. He was young and liked to be honest. He came out from behind Tao Laixiang and shouted, "It's you! You've pinched me so many times! Auntie Lin said she would send us home, and you started pinching me! Woohoo, I want to go home, I want to find my mother!"

Before Kong Dewen left, he left a lot of money for his two brothers. During this period, their father was not at home and their mother didn't care about them, so the two brothers lived a very comfortable life.

Unfortunately, money will eventually run out, and when all the food coupons in his hand were used up, he had no food to eat, especially now that he had gone hungry for two meals. Kong Jianping finally remembered how good his mother had been to him in the past, and now he was crying and asking for her.

Tao Laixiang said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you home. You're a little man, don't cry." Seeing the child slowly stop crying, he said, "Say goodbye to your Aunt Lin. You're already such a big kid, and your home is so close, why do you still have to trouble your Aunt Lin!"

"It's my brother..."

Kong Jianguo was afraid that he would say something, so he said, "My mother was angry, so I took him out first to avoid being beaten at home."

Tao Laixiang couldn't help but sneered, raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Kong Jianguo, and said in a bad tone: "Okay, stop talking nonsense here. With your mother's temper, how could she beat you? But I heard that you have made your mother very angry recently, and you even forgot what filial piety is?"

Kong Jianguo suddenly raised his head and gave Lin Yue a fierce look. Lin Yue crossed his arms and sneered: "Why are you looking at me? You are such a person, and you can say such hurtful words outside. You don't think I am the only one who heard it, right?"

Tao Laixiang smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, don't be angry with him. This child has learned bad things from his father. I will take them home and ask Wang Fang about the education of these two children."

After saying that, he shouted to the two children, "Hurry up and catch up!"

Tao Laixiang helped him out of the predicament, and Lin Yue was grateful in his heart.

Something happened in Wang Fang's family, and she didn't associate with other people. Captain Kong was demoted again and again because of his work style. Now no one knows where he has been exiled to.

The two children had been crying in the street for quite some time, and the people living nearby had heard the noise a long time ago, but no one came out except Tao Laixiang, because no one wanted to meddle in this family's affairs.

But Tao Laixiang was different. No matter what, Kong Dewen was a soldier under Captain Shen, and he had good abilities before he was demoted. Now Kong Dewen was not in the barracks, and his family was in such a mess. It would be fine if she didn't know, but it would be unreasonable for her to know and not care.

Lin Yue watched the three people leave, then picked up the firewood again and went into the house.

She had never thought that a child who had just turned ten would have so many ideas. These little traps, one after another. She didn't know if Tao Laixiang would be tricked. Anyway, she didn't want to meddle in the child's affairs anymore.

In fact, Tao Laixiang didn't think so much. Having lived in a compound for so many years, she knew the character of this family very well. Kong Jianguo was playing tricks on her, so she had to straighten out all those vague and half-said words. No matter how many tricks Kong Jianguo had, it would be of no avail.

I don’t know if her conversation with Wang Fang had any effect, but the two children went to school the next day and never said anything inappropriate outside again.

On the day Wang Tingting returned to work, Lin Yue got up early in the morning to make dumplings. According to her family's custom, they would eat a bowl of dumplings when their family members opened a business, returned to work, or their children went to school. In the future, they would also set off firecrackers, but now the conditions are limited, so these are omitted and they just eat a simple meal of dumplings.

Wang Tingting hasn't been to work for a long time. Now she has a child. She got up early in the morning, but was still so busy that she almost missed the time.

She had a dumpling in her mouth and two in her hands. In her arms was a baby tied with a strap. On her arm was a small basket with a lunch box of dumplings in it. She hurried out the door.

Lin Yue found it funny and told her to slow down. When he returned to the room, he found that Zhang Yuandong had not left yet.

According to the past, he would have left by now. Lin Yue asked curiously, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhang Yuandong tugged at his clothes. The fabric of the Type 65 military uniform was khaki, which he had made look crisp. Moreover, he was being different today, as he even wore a belt that he normally wouldn't use for eight hundred years.

Lin Yue looked at him in surprise, and walked around him twice, wondering, "Why are you dressed so formally today? Is there something important? Is it possible that a leader is coming to inspect our military region?"

It's no wonder she guessed. Zhang Yuandong even shaved his beard today and found his new military uniform that he had never worn. This outfit should be enough even if he was going to attend a commendation ceremony.

Zhang Yuandong felt a little uncomfortable. He touched his belt and said with red ears, "No, no, I just remembered that I haven't used this belt for a long time, so I took it out to use it so that it won't get rotten again."

He scratched his head and circled around Lin Yue again.

The weather was getting better, and the kids were playing outside every day, so their shoes wore out very quickly. Lin Yue sat in the yard, twisting the hemp rope quickly with his hands. ①

When Zhang Yuandong started to make a second circle beside her, she finally couldn't help but said, "Your son will wear these shoes tomorrow. What's the matter with you? If you have nothing to do, go to work and don't delay me making straw sandals!"

Lin Yue was so busy that he didn't even look up at him, and it was indeed getting late. Zhang Yuandong touched his nose and went out reluctantly.

Captain Shen was holding a vegetable and mixed grain pancake in his hand, chewing it as he hurried along. He caught up with Zhang Yuandong in a few steps, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I saw you from a distance, and was wondering who you were. You were dressed like a young man going on a blind date!"

Zhang Yuandong had just had a headache at home. He shook his shoulders, let go of the other person's force, ignored the other person, and walked forward with his head down.

After the fight between him and Zhang Yuandong, although Captain Shen refused to admit it, he still believed in him in his heart. He caught up with him and said with a playful smile: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You look so long-faced. If I didn't know, I would think you were bullied by your sister-in-law at home!"

He took another big bite of the biscuit, walked a few steps to the front, looked at Zhang Yuandong backwards, his eyes stayed on his belt for a few seconds, and said: "Look at you, you look like a pretty boy, I think your sister-in-law will be reluctant to let you go. If I look like you, the one in my house will make me unable to straighten my back the next day!"

Zhang Yuandong was a little annoyed by his stare, so he pulled out his belt and casually held it in his hand, pretending to be natural and saying, "I'm afraid it will get damaged, so why not wear it and let it dry in the sun?"

If it weren't for his extremely popular reputation, some people might actually believe it.

Captain Shen no longer knew how to read people's faces, and he also saw his low mood. He laughed twice and said, "Okay, you are right. I am a rough man and I don't understand your twists and turns!"

At noon, the unwilling man returned home again and stuck to Lin Yue, unable to leave.

Lin Yue pushed him helplessly and drove him out: "You were coming back for lunch at noon and you didn't even tell me in advance, so I could prepare lunch earlier!"

She was the only one at home, and she had planned to fool people into thinking it was okay.

Zhang Yuandong tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "How about we go to your space and I grill some fish for you?"

The two of them haven't had a chance to be alone recently, and haven't used the stove for a long time. She swallowed her saliva and whispered, "I want to eat crabs. Let's go to the sea!"

She went out carefully, closed the gate, and pulled Zhang Yuandong into the space.

On this day, she not only ate crabs, but also saw the thin waist in the shallow sea water that she had ignored for a long time. As the man moved, water drops slid down along the wheat-colored skin, reflecting a little silver light under the sparkling waves, and no one knew whose eyes were dazzled.
