Chapter 56

Jian Lu looked at the large handful of dumplings placed in front of her, and remembered what Cai Xiujuan had said earlier. This person had said that he would give her half of the money.

900 grams of pearls were sold for more than 600 yuan, and the big group in front was more than 300 yuan.

Seriously speaking, this sum of money was indeed the second large sum of money she had seen since she traveled through time. The first large sum of money was the passbook that Comrade Cheng Zheng handed over to her. It was the savings of Cheng Zheng over the years and was quite substantial.

"Sister Xiujuan, for such a large sum of money, please don't..."

Cai Xiujuan seemed to know that Jian Lu wanted to refuse, so she stuffed a handful of money into her hands and said seriously, "Sister Jian Lu, to be honest, I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would still be kept in the dark by that dead man. He is having an affair outside, and I am his mother at home. Not to mention later, you also pointed out a way for me to raise a pearl. If it weren't for you, how could I make so much money? You must accept this money, otherwise you are looking down on me!"

Seeing that Cai Xiujuan was extremely sincere, Jian Lu was trying hard to stuff the money into her hands. Then she took out 15 bills from a big bunch of banknotes and stuffed them into her hands, "Then I'll take half, and you take the remaining half..."

"That won't work!" Cai Xiujuan was a stubborn person. She kept her word and if she said half and half, it meant half and half. She refused immediately.

"No, Sister Xiujuan, listen to me. You are just starting to raise pearls now. You can't keep raising small amounts like this. You will definitely have to expand the scale in the future. Money is a good thing. It makes things easier. Just think of this money as my investment. You can use it."

"Investment?" Cai Xiujuan had never heard of this term.

Jian Lu explained it to her and said, "Look at whether you work alone or join a team in the next two years. Both are ways out, but the scale is definitely different."

Jian Lu vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Cai Xiujuan worked with the brigade and started out by running a pearl farm with the brigade. As the wave of reform and opening up grew, Cai Xiujuan, who had accumulated a lot of experience, opened a private pearl farm. In addition, she had made money by raising pearls with the brigade members before, and she was honest to people, so everyone was willing to work for her, and the pearl farm grew bigger and bigger.

If we start several years in advance now, we will definitely avoid many detours.

Sure enough, Cai Xiujuan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She didn't have much exposure to this area, but she was good at listening and thinking. She immediately thought it would be a good idea to find the brigade to set up a pearl farm. She had the skills and could take the lead, and then lead the brigade to prosperity.

Nowadays, which brigade can be so wealthy? They all tighten their belts and live a hard-working life, barely making ends meet.

"I think it's a good idea. I'll go back and talk to the captain to see if we can set up a pearl farm."

"Okay." Jian Lu reminded her a few more times, "Then you have to negotiate with the brigade. The brigade will run a pearl farm, and you will be the person in charge. You will get paid, but it won't be a matter of ten work points a day. Negotiate the price in advance. The brigade knows how much the cultivated pearls can be sold for, and they will definitely be willing to give you good treatment. In addition, you should work harder on the technology over the past few years. Only when you have mastered the core technology can you be considered to have mastered the core productivity.

As for the personnel training and management of the pearl farm, it is also a big deal. I can help you look at it and come up with a charter."

Jian Lu used to work in a company, so she is familiar with the basic management system and can definitely give advice in this regard.

Cai Xiujuan listened attentively and felt that Comrade Jian Lu was amazing and everything he said made sense. Later, she took out paper and pen to take notes. Jian Lu went over to take a look. He could write a few words, but when he encountered many words he couldn't write, he used some picture symbols that only she could understand to replace them. In short, he looked pretty good.

"I've got this in mind, Sister Jian Lu. I always learn something great every time I come to your place. How come you're so amazing?"

Jian Lu answered casually, "I heard this from the educated youth from big cities when I was in the team."

"Oh, it's incredible!"

Cai Xiujuan packed up her things and stood up to leave. "Then I'll go back and talk to the team about this. I'll give you some of this money and the money I'll get in the future to invest in... to become a shareholder, right? That's what I said. If I have anything I don't understand, I'll come back and ask you!"

"Okay, walk slowly and be careful on the road."

Cai Xiujuan left full of energy.

Jian Lu helped Cai Xiujuan with her career while taking care of the baby.

Some time later, Cai Xiujuan came again and looked at the personnel management system that Jian Lu had thought of for her. It consisted of a pearl farm director, a deputy director, an assistant, directors in charge of technology, finance, logistics, and sales, and then staff from four departments.

"But now that you are just starting to plan, you don't need to lay out so much. You can keep the staff simple, with only one person for each position. The key is the breeding staff. The brigade will grant you a pond for breeding. You need to calculate how many clams to breed and how many pearl breeders are needed, and then focus on training the technology. Once this process is established, the rest will be easy."

Cai Xiujuan communicated with the brigade this time. The brigade leader, who was worried about the livelihood of the brigade, was very excited to hear that there was such a talent among the members. He would definitely be willing to run a pearl farm.

However, they knew nothing about cultivating pearls, and they had no idea how to run a farm. The only income the team earned came from fish farming, which was earned by the Cai family, who counted the fish as work points. The fish were directly purchased by the food station. It was a simple process.

For this reason, they were willing to hand over the entire matter to Comrade Cai Xiujuan and directly pay her the salary.

"Sister Jian Lu, I have also secured a job for you." Cai Xiujuan said with a smile.

"Ah?" Jian Lu was puzzled. "I still have some?"

"Yes, I told our captain that you are very capable and you know how to study hard. This pearl farm cannot be run without you. The captain said that you will be paid in due time."

Jian Lu laughed dumbly. Did she just hire a non-staff member?

"If you hadn't married Captain Cheng, I would have wanted you to come to our team. It's really inconvenient since we're quite far away." Cai Xiujuan said from the bottom of her heart.

Cheng Zheng just got home and heard that Cai Xiujuan was trying to abduct his wife. He laughed and said, "Comrade Cai Xiujuan, I can't let you abduct my wife."

"Captain Cheng, you're back?" Cai Xiujuan had disturbed Jian Lu for the whole afternoon, and it was time for her to go back. She always caught the afternoon boat home on time and didn't eat at Jian Lu's house to avoid disturbing others. "I can't kidnap your wife. I've asked almost everything here, so I'll leave first."

"Xiujuan, please stay for dinner." Aunt Wang was cooking in the kitchen and was eager to invite people to dinner.

"Auntie Wang, no, I won't be able to make it back if I'm any later. I'm leaving now, you guys hurry up and eat."

Cheng Zheng watched Cai Xiujuan leave, then turned around and saw his wife sorting out a pile of documents and a notebook on the table. He just wanted to go over to take a look, but his wife dodged him.

Jian Lu tilted her head and said seriously, "Captain Cheng, this is our confidential document, you can't read it."

Cheng Zheng curled his lips, "So confidential?"

Jian Lu nodded seriously, put a few pages of paper on the table, folded them neatly, and held them all in her arms, "Of course, you are allowed to keep secrets? We have them too!"

Just as she put down the information, Jian Lu returned to the bedroom and heard Cheng Zheng complaining about her to his girlfriend.

"Shuangshuang, your mother is so proud now. She just said that she was working on confidential information and wouldn't show it to your father." Every day when Cheng Zheng came back from the army, he would entertain his daughter, touch her fingers, pinch her fat arms and talk to her. Shuangshuang also gave face to her father and would wake up at five or six in the evening every day to listen to what her father said happily.

When I heard what my father said today, I grinned and made some "ahhh" sounds.

"You also think your mother is going too far, right?"

"Captain Cheng, are you saying bad things about me?" Jian Lu leaned against the door with her arms around her chest and looked at Cheng Zheng, "We are both definitely on my side."

"That's not necessarily true. Look at the girl, she's smiling at me."

Jian Lu walked to the bed, sat next to Cheng Zheng, and pulled the girl's chubby arm. "Shuangshuang, come on, if you're standing on your mother's side, please raise your head, okay?"

As she spoke, Jian Lu took the rattle and shook it above her, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

"Look up? How can Shuangshuang know this?"

Cheng Zheng felt that his wife was really thinking too much... Hey, he stared at Shuangshuang and actually saw that Shuangshuang actually moved her head slightly and had an obvious movement of raising her head.

Although I didn't hold on for more than a few seconds, I did raise my head.

"This..." Cheng Zheng looked at his wife in shock, "Shuangshuang is really on your side?"

"That's it!" Jian Lu boasted.

"Oh, my girlfriend is so amazing. She can even hold her head up." Cheng Zheng praised Shuangshuang, and Shuangshuang laughed again, shouting "ah ah ah" in her mouth.

While having dinner, Cheng Zheng was surprised. It is said that a child is born after the mother's ten months of pregnancy. It seems that the mother and daughter are really connected by heart.

Cheng Zheng came out after washing the dishes. Aunt Wang was knitting a sweater while enthusiastically telling her son about Shuangshuang's recent academic progress.

"This week, Lulu and I have been training Shuangshuang to raise her head. We used a rattle to tease her and now she has a reaction and can raise her head a little. Shuangshuang is really smart. You are in the army every day, so let Lulu take Shuangshuang to perform for you at night."

Cheng Zheng: "..."

so it is!

He really thought that if his wife just picked up a rattle today, the girl would be able to raise her head right away!

In response to this, Jian Lu, who was teasing the young lady at night, was very confident and confident, "Isn't that true? The young lady was born after ten months of pregnancy, so she must help her mother first. Why, you are not convinced?"

"I'm convinced!" Cheng Zheng looked at his wife. Her smug little face was full of smiles, her rosy little lips were slightly pursed, and her pair of peach blossom eyes glared at him.

"Shuangshuang listens to you, and I listen to you too, okay?"

"You are good at recognizing faces."

——

When Shuangshuang was more than two months old, the Chinese New Year was approaching.

Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law began to prepare the New Year gifts. It was the Spring Festival again, and Jian Lu's mood was very different this year. She felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavier and there were more things to prepare.

Years ago, Cheng Zheng's second and third brothers each sent New Year gifts, all of which were home-made food. His third brother was serving as a soldier in the frontier, so he sent beef jerky and dried grapes, which are rare flavors here.

Jian Lu has recently fallen in love with eating beef jerky. The pure natural beef jerky is very chewy, fresh and mellow. Sometimes she can't stop eating one after another in the whole afternoon, which makes Cheng Zheng start to worry about his wife's teeth.

"Be careful or your teeth will hurt."

Cheng Zheng ate a few sticks of beef jerky sent by his third brother's family. They tasted very good, with firm meat. Chewing them really helped him pass the time. He also took some to give to Lao Liang, Lao Xu, and Lao Wu. Their children also liked them.

No one is as fond of him as his wife.

Hearing this, Jian Lu felt that this man did not wish well for her. "This kind of food is the best way to kill time. Should I say it? The beef from the border is indeed more delicious."

"You like it so much? I'll write to him next time and give him money so he can buy some for us and send it to us."

"Okay!" Jian Lu didn't want to put herself in a difficult position, so it would be nice to have some snacks.

While eating the beef jerky, she also took out the dried seafood that she had made earlier from inside the house, including a bag of dried scallops, a bag of dried oysters, and a bag of dried squid, all of which she had made earlier.

Scallops and oysters are easy to preserve if cooked and dried. You can add a few of them to seafood porridge or soup to enhance the flavor.

After washing the squid, dry it directly in the sun, then rub salt all over it and steam it until cooked. After steaming, continue to dry it in the sun.

Worried that the other party didn't know the specific way to eat dried seafood, Jian Lu thoughtfully put an instruction manual in the package, in multiple copies, and put them in the package one by one.

After sending out the New Year gifts prepared for their relatives, Jian Lu and Aunt Wang went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. It was the first time that Jian Lu took Shuangshuang on a "long journey". In the past, she always carried the child for walks in the yard at home, letting her bask in the sun and see the outside world. Today was the first time they came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Shuangshuang looked around with her big eyes, looking very seriously.

"Lulu!" Li Jihong was very excited to see her old acquaintance, especially to see her young lady, she was extremely happy.

Just a few days after Jian Lu gave birth, Li Jihong and her friends came to visit her. More than two months later, they found that Jian Lu was getting fairer and more tender.

Sun Qiuyue is also a daughter of a noble family, so she was naturally friendly when she saw Shuangshuang. "Your daughter looks just like you, like you were cast from the same mold."

Qiu Sifeng also stretched his neck to take a look and thought that this little girl was really good-looking, fair and clean, chubby, and looked like she was carefully raised. "What's her full name?"

"Cheng Keying." Jian Lu replied with a smile, "She is from the Ke generation."

"Listen carefully, your nickname is Shuangshuang, right?"

"yes."

They are all mothers, so entertaining children is no problem for them. They would coax their children from time to time during their busy schedules.

Jian Lu quit her job at the supply and marketing cooperative because of her pregnancy. Later, a military wife came to work as a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it became a four-person team.

"Auntie wants to give you a candy, but you haven't grown any teeth yet, so how can you eat it?" Li Jihong just weighed a pound of candy for someone.

Shuangshuang was in her mother's arms when she suddenly cried out, which made Li Jihong laugh. She thought the child was excited about eating candy, so she quickly took out a piece of Danpi candy from her pocket and shook it in front of her, "You can't eat it now, I'll give it to your mother first."

Jian Lu was amused by the young lady, who was already packing things to take home before she even grew up. "Okay, let's thank Aunt Jihong."

Aunt Wang was on the other side buying New Year's goods, including fruits, cakes, and fabrics. There was a new member in the family this year, so naturally she had to make some fun.

Cheng Zheng had just got off work from the army and came to help his mother and daughter-in-law carry things. Captain Cheng was very strong and carried all the things by himself. In his left hand were three bags of cakes and candies, in his right hand were several feet of cloth, and there was also a fish tied with a straw rope.

The family walked home in the sunset. The two of them did not cry or make any noise, but lay quietly in their mother's arms, looking at the sky with their dark eyes rolling around. Cheng Zheng leaned over to take a look and found that the girl was too serious.

"Double, double~"

The girl ignored her old father.

"Shuangshuang, look at daddy."

Cheng Zheng found that he was not as attractive as the sky with the sunset glow. "This little girl has never seen the outside world before, so she is just curious. Look at her. She doesn't even respond when her father calls her."

In the past, Shuangshuang was able to recognize her father and would smile at him when he came home. But today was different. She had gone out and seen a lot of things and had temporarily forgotten about her father.

"We both like to go out, right?" Jian Lu held Shuangshuang and moved around. When she saw her looking at her and grinning, her heart almost melted. Although the girl couldn't speak yet, her big eyes were bright and seemed to be able to speak. "Mom will take you out for a walk more often in the future."

After returning home, Shuangshuang, who had been out for half an hour for the first time, lay on the bed excitedly. She twisted her little hands a few times and moved her calves slightly, which made Cheng Zheng's father's heart melt.

"Why do you want to walk?" He patted the girl's chubby calf gently, "You have to wait."

Huanhuan seemed to know that his father was playing with him. He moved his legs again and let out an indistinct laugh.

“Lulu!”

Cheng Zheng shouted excitedly to his daughter-in-law who was discussing New Year's shopping with her mother in the living room, "Lulu, Shuangshuang smiled at me!"

Jian Lu was holding a piece of fruit leather in her hand and eating it in small bites. When she heard the noise, she walked to the bedroom door, listened, and left after saying a few words.

"That's the same sound your girl makes when she pees."

Cheng Zheng: "..."

+++++

The Chinese New Year is approaching, Shuangshuang is growing up slowly, and Jian Lu does exercise for recovery from time to time, and is busy and happy every day.

As a result, one day, when Cheng Zheng came back from the army, he brought back some news that Jian Lu was not willing to hear: this man was going to sea again.

"We have to cruise again before the New Year, so we should be able to return in time to celebrate the New Year." Cheng Zheng was reluctant to leave, as this was the first New Year when his family was together, but the mission was too important and there was nothing he could do.

Jian Lu knew that she couldn't say anything bad either. She looked at the man reluctantly but didn't say anything. This was what a military wife was like.

"Then try to come back for the New Year. We'll be waiting for you."

When Aunt Wang learned that her son was going to be on another mission, she could only sigh and didn't know what to say, but being a military dependent was just like that. "Shitou, go and do well. Don't worry about the family. Mom will be watching over you."

"Thank you, Mom!"

It was the first time that Cheng Zheng was sent off by a family of three to go on a mission. In front of the small blue brick building, his wife waved at him while holding the child, and his mother nodded and smiled.

He walked a few steps and looked back, feeling both reluctant and satisfied.

Jian Lu looked at Cheng Zheng's back as he left, lowered her head and spoke softly to her daughter, "Dad has gone on a mission and won't be back for a while. Can we wait for him at home?"

She puffed out her chubby cheeks, squinted her eyes and smiled, as if responding to her mother's words.

......

As soon as Cheng Zheng left, the house became a little deserted. Jian Lu would take the children to visit the neighbors from time to time. Political Commissar Liang from Feng Xiuhui's family was also on a mission, so the house was also a little deserted. Several families gathered together to eat, chat, and prepare for the New Year.

Jian Lu has been very busy recently. It has been more than two months since she gave birth to her baby, and many people have come to congratulate her. She has a good relationship with everyone in the family compound, and everyone is willing to come and share in the joy.

One day, several families were having dinner together. They were making Spanish mackerel dumplings and pork scraps and cabbage dumplings. The aroma wafted from far away.

Sun Yufeng, the daughter-in-law of Deputy Head of the Second Regiment Liu, came with her three children and said they wanted to see Jian Lu and her daughter.

"Hey, are you guys cooking dumplings? They look delicious."

Feng Xiuhui and Cui Yuhe had an impression of Sun Yufeng, but it was not a good impression. They were about to reject her, but she still came specially for lunch. "Why don't you come and see us in the afternoon? We are preparing to eat..."

"That's great. We haven't eaten yet. Let's see after we eat."

Sun Yufeng asked a few children to sit at the table first, and then she called others rudely, "You guys sit down too."

Someone came to the door, and he said he was here to see his newborn baby, so it was naturally not a good idea to chase him away. Aunt Wang heard the commotion and asked them to add a seat, so they could just squeeze in for lunch.

Sun Yufeng smiled when she heard this. Since she was staying, she took the child around to look around and also went to see Miss Jian Lu.

Several people were sitting at the door of the bedroom on the first floor, talking, all about sharing their experiences as mothers raising children. Jian Lu glanced at the children in the room from time to time. Both of them were still sleeping, not giving anyone any face.

Beside the bed, several children gathered around the full moon, each with curiosity in their eyes.

"Double~Double~"

"Why isn't she awake yet?"

The three children who came with Sun Yufeng wanted to see the little baby wake up and reached out to touch her face.

"You can't touch it!" Dunzi stood by and enforced the law impartially. He remembered that Aunt Lulu had said that there was invisible dirt on everyone's hands, and if Xiao Shuangshuang touched it, she would get sick.

The most important thing is that Erzhuzi's hands were visibly dirty, with dirt in the gaps between his fingers, and they were not washed clean. Dunzi was scared for Shuangshuang when he saw it.

Erzhuzi pouted and took his hand back, and looked at Baidunzi, "You are the only one who cares too much."

"That's right, Shuangshuang is our sister, we have to take care of her." He looked at Dazhuzi and Sanyanzi again, "You can't touch her either, we don't touch her."

When Jian Lu heard what Dunzi said, a smile appeared on her face. She really wanted to reward him with candy. Dunzi was such a smart kid!

"It's time to eat." Feng Xiuhui shouted, and everyone stood up.

There were hundreds of dumplings and everyone was enjoying the meal. Most of the time, they were praising Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu's girlfriend for being so beautiful. She was almost three months old and already looked fair and pretty. The only boy in the family was really envious of her.

Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi wolfed down more than twenty dumplings, with gravy oozing from the corners of their mouths. Cui Yuhe frowned at the sight, because none of the kids at the table would eat like that.

Looking at Sun Yufeng again, she was also eating fast and a lot, not at all shy.

Dazhuizi and Erzhuizi finished eating first. They kicked off the table and went into the house.

The others had just finished eating, and Wu Xiangchen, drinking his dumpling soup, looked in the direction the two brothers left, put down his bowl, and prepared to leave the table.

Feng Xiuhui noticed Wu Xiangchen's action and asked, "Are you full? There are still dumplings."

"Yeah, I'm full." Wu Xiangchen replied lightly and went into the house.

In the bedroom, Aunt Wang had finished her meal in advance and went into the room to look at the children. When she saw that they were both asleep, she went to the kitchen to check on the beef bone soup that she was going to have in the evening.

During this gap, Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi rushed into the house.

When Wu Xiangchen trotted to the bedroom door, he saw two men each stretching out a dirty finger to poke Shuangshuang's face. They poked quite hard. He could see that Shuangshuang's little face was obviously sunken by the poking. Erzhuzi also stuck out his dirty mouth and wanted to kiss Shuangshuang on the face.

Snap

Wu Xiangchen ran into the house and slapped Erzhuzi's head away.

Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi were startled by the sudden appearance of Wu Xiangchen, especially Erzhuzi, who was hit on the head and glared at Wu Xiangchen angrily.

"Why did you hit me?"

Dunzi is strong and sturdy, but Wu Xiangchen is thin and small, so they are not afraid of him!

"Who told you to poke Shuangshuang and you also want to kiss Shuangshuang?" Wu Xiangchen looked down at Shuangshuang. Her little face, which was white and tender just now, had turned red from being poked by them, and some nail marks could be vaguely seen.

These two people really don't know how to take things seriously.

Deputy Head Liu's three children are usually very dirty and love to roll in the mud. The key is that they don't even wash themselves properly when they get home. Dunzi always thinks that these three are sloppy.

The same thing happened when they were eating. At this time, neither of them wiped their mouths clean, and there were traces of vinegar around their mouths.

"It's none of your business!" Erzhuzi yelled at him, but insisted on reaching out to touch her. He immediately put two fingers together and pinched Shuangshuang's chubby little face.

Wu Xiangchen didn't have time to stop him and was only half a beat late and pushed Erzhuzi away with force.

“Ah~~~”

Shuangshuang, who was already half asleep and half awake due to the noise, felt a pain and started crying before even opening their eyes, howling so loudly that the whole house could hear it.

Jian Lu had just finished her meal when she heard the girl in the room wake up, so she got up and went inside.

"Look, a new mother is different. She gets so nervous when she hears her child crying." When Sun Yufeng saw that everyone had left, she hurriedly started eating dumplings again.

As soon as she entered the room, Jian Lu walked to the bedside and thought that the girl had woken up and wanted to drink milk, but when she took a closer look, she saw several red marks on her face.

Chenchen, Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi were standing beside the bed, staring at each other fiercely, as if something had happened.

"Aunt Lulu, they are having a fight." Wu Xiangchen has learned to speak up and say whatever comes to mind first.

"No, we just touched her, where did we pinch her?"

Dunzi and Hengheng heard the voices of several children in the house and intuitively felt that something was going on, so they put down their bowls and stopped eating and hurried into the house.

After hearing what Chenchen said, Dunzi immediately became angry, "Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi, you two are unhygienic and you even pinched people. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Where did we pinch her? Nonsense."

Heng Heng snorted, "So you admit that you don't care about hygiene?"

Big Pillar & Second Pillar: "..."

Jian Lu coaxed Shuangshuang down and checked the baby. It was probably because their skin was too tender and a little force would leave marks. It was not a big problem but it was still uncomfortable for the new mother.

But this was the child of Cheng Zheng's comrade, and Jian Lu wanted to say something harsh, but she had to think about whether it was an adult who was fussing with a child. She just made up her mind to keep a close eye on the young lady and be careful of these irresponsible children coming to her house.

"Be careful next time. Shuangshuang is still young and it will get hurt if you're not careful."

Sun Yufeng left the table and went into the house. As soon as she entered the room, she heard this. "What's going on?"

"Mom, they said we bullied Shuangshuang." Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi immediately stepped forward to complain.

"There's no such thing as bullying or not bullying." Sun Yufeng smiled happily and said to Jian Lu, "Children like to look at this newborn baby. All three of our family members are like this."

He took another look at the red marks on Shuangshuang's face and continued, "What's the big deal? Babies are just tender skinned, and it's just a scratch. It's nothing serious. I've raised three babies, so there's no problem at all. You can't spend too much money on this child, or you won't be able to raise him well."

"We have to raise Jin Gui for our two children." Aunt Wang, who had walked into the house, felt more and more outrageous when she heard her talk. She had originally thought that it was okay for the children to be careless, but she didn't expect adults to be like this too. "You don't feel sorry for your children if they are not your own, right?"

"Auntie Wang, what are you saying? How can we still be sincere? Isn't this unfair?"

"I'm sincere!" Dunzi muttered beside him.

"How can you be sincere? Dunzi, you can't lie with your eyes open. I have to talk to Xiuhui and teach you a lesson. You can't do this."

Jian Lu gently stroked the lady's face. It was obvious that the red marks would not appear with just a gentle touch. But Sun Yufeng kept complaining, "Okay, sister-in-law Yufeng, we only have two ladies in our family, so we must be very careful. The red marks on her face must be distressed for me as a mother. You are also a mother, so you should understand, right?"

"Look at what you said, sister Jian Lu, how can I not understand? This child is like this, no matter how serious. But." Sun Yufeng approached Jian Lu and whispered, "Why are you so nervous about a little girl? A lady is not worth much. Now that you are out of confinement, you should hurry up and give birth to another big fat boy. It is serious to tie down Captain Cheng. I have a folk remedy from my hometown. Do you want it?"

Sun Yufeng thought that her son had been slandered by someone, so she might as well show her goodwill and take out the precious secret recipe for having a son. This person should be grateful to her.

After hearing this, Jian Lu sneered, "Sister Yufeng, please don't worry about our family's affairs. It's normal for children to be careless. No one can say that it was intentional."

This kind of thing is really hard to explain. What can we do if they refuse to admit that they did it on purpose or they just didn't pay attention?

We have to think of another way!

Sun Yufeng was satisfied when she heard this and smiled, thinking that this man was easy to talk to.

Then Jian Lu continued, "I'll take Shuangshuang to the hospital for a checkup later. Newborn babies need to be taken care of. If anything happens to them, you should reimburse us for the medical expenses."

"What?" Sun Yufeng seemed to have heard something extraordinary, "Medical expenses?"

She was not willing to go to the hospital to pay for the medical expenses. It would cost at least several dollars!

Sun Yufeng subconsciously covered her pockets tightly and her face changed. "Our kid didn't poke your kid's face on purpose. Besides, how can you pay for medical expenses just by touching someone's face?"

"I didn't say it was intentional, and I don't blame them. But if the examination shows that my daughter is injured, will she need medication or treatment? The examination fee plus the medicine fee are miscellaneous, and I estimate it will only cost a few dollars. I will tell you when the time comes."

“Bah! I just…” Sun Yufeng was about to say no, but when she thought that they were all neighbors, she suddenly felt guilty. What if this person really insisted on her paying for the medical expenses?

Thinking of this, her anger shifted to her two sons. She raised her hand and slapped Dazhuzi on the back of his head, "You two damned boys, how dare you poke someone in the face! Don't you know that newborn babies are very tender? Come on, I'll go home and teach you a lesson!"

Dragging the three kids home cursing, Sun Yufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping. She never expected that Captain Cheng’s wife, who looked young and weak, was actually a scammer!

She just wanted to come over to have some dumplings, but she couldn't get in.

"Mom, I just poked her! Her face is so soft."

Bang!

Another clap, Sun Yufeng yelled at the three children, "Stay away from the daughter of the captain's family from now on. My god, is his daughter made of gold? You want me to pay a few dollars for poking her in the face? Pah!"

Seeing that the three children were still confused, Sun Yufeng raised her voice, "Did you hear me? You are not allowed to get close to his daughter. Stay away from her, or I will make you pay for it!"

"I understand." Dazhuzi, Erzhuzi and Sanyanzi had never seen their mother so angry, but they knew that a few dollars was a lot of money and could buy a lot of food.

They just poked Shuangshuang in the face and almost gave him a few dollars. It's terrible!

Seeing that the people finally left, Jian Lu suppressed her annoyance and put her daughter on the bed. She had just checked and there was nothing wrong, except that her face was too tender, and those two kids were a little too rough and didn't use enough force. They didn't just touch her face, they poked her.

I feel so sorry for her!

Her precious daughter was stabbed in the face, and the most important thing was that Sun Yufeng and her children said even worse things. It was really shameless. If this matter was not really difficult to explain, she would not have wanted to let them go like this.

"Lulu, you managed to scare them away." Feng Xiuhui thought it was great. "Just now, Sun Yufeng couldn't be stopped, but now he runs fast."

"When she heard that she had to pay a few dollars, she ran away faster than anyone else." Cui Yuhe also looked down on her. She said that those kids were the naughty kids in the family. They got dirty all day long and loved to beg for food from other families. Which family was rich these days?

Everyone is self-aware and won't stay at other people's houses.

Seeing that the red marks on the lady's face had almost disappeared, Jian Lu gently stroked her, "If we scare her like this, she will definitely stay and refuse to leave. When Shuangshuang grows up, it will be difficult for us to watch her every minute. She might be exploited. I think Sun Yufeng will go back and severely punish her three children. Stay away from Shuangshuang in the future."

"Hahahaha, stay away from it, or you won't see it when you turn around, and it's so careless."

Sun Yufeng left the family compound of the single-family house and returned to the family compound of the red brick building. She happened to see a group of military wives sitting on the open space. Some of them immediately smelled the smell of dumplings on them.

Guess where she's going to beg for money again.

"Which restaurant did Sun Yufeng go to for dinner?"

Sun Yufeng had a bad reputation in the community because she was too thick-skinned and liked to pick people's meal times to visit. If she met someone with a thin skin, she would have to take her children to eat with them.

"What should I eat? I'm so angry." Sun Yufeng felt really aggrieved when she thought about Jian Lu's rude words that she would have to pay a few dollars.

"What's the matter? Can you still bear it?"

"That's not right. Please judge for yourself. Our eldest and second sons just touched the face of the daughter-in-law of Captain Cheng. That person, Jian Lu, said that she would go to the hospital for a check-up and then ask us to pay for the medical expenses. Does that make sense?"

Everyone was delighted when they heard this. This shameless person finally had someone to deal with him. "It must be that your child was poked too hard. How could a boy poke someone when he was poked too hard?"

"It's time to see what has become of Captain Cheng's daughter?" Cheng Hehua heard the noise and walked into the yard. She was indignant. Shuangshuang was so cute. This man must have gone too far. That's why Lulu said that. "If you really hurt Shuangshuang, Captain Cheng will punish you when he returns from his mission."

"Is it that serious? He just touched her face." Sun Yufeng said this, but she was still worried. She knew that her husband always said that he was terrible and didn't show him any mercy. "Can her family raise a daughter so expensively? I don't think she can become a princess."

Zheng Shuyun was choosing dishes when she heard Sun Yufeng slandering her benefactor over and over again. She couldn't stand it no matter how good-tempered she was. "Sun Yufeng, we should destroy the four olds now. What princesses are you talking about? Otherwise, ask the director of the women's department to come and see. We still have feudal remnants here."

Sun Yufeng's face changed, and she realized that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly called out to the three children, "No, I didn't say anything. Let's go home!"

However, Sun Yufeng, who was feeling very upset, received the medical bill from Jian Lu the next day, which totaled five dollars. She was so angry that she almost fainted.

Now, everyone in the family compound knows that Captain Cheng’s daughter cannot be bullied!
