Wu Shengli turned his head away to avoid his pestering: "Dad is busy. Go and learn from Erdan or Duofu."
Just kidding. He's always been weak at fighting, and his experience isn't even as good as his older brother's. If they really fought, it would be hard to tell who would beat whom. Asking him to teach his older brother martial arts would be a disgrace to his father.
When Zhou Yanhong and Jiang Damei arrived, Gao Shujing was giving the kittens a bath.
In March, the temperature at this time is around ten degrees Celsius, so there's no need to rush. Gao Shujing will do all the work by himself.
Yu Rujia: "It's already great that you two came to visit me. Why did you bring things?"
Zhou Yanhong brought unshelled peanuts, weighing about three or four pounds; Jiang Damei brought soybeans, weighing about two pounds.
Zhou Yanhong: "They're all from our own land, they're not worth much. They can't compare to the food you give Erdan and the others. Besides, my Dadan is still learning about circuits from Officer Gao. There's no need for our two families to haggle over these things."
Jiang Damei: "That's right, it's rare for Da Wa and the others to have such good friends. Our families should visit each other more often in the future."
Yu Rujia: "Then I thank you both for the things you brought. I'll have Erdan and Dawa come over tomorrow so I can check if they're injured anywhere."
Zhou Yanhong laughed and said, "My little rascal is definitely not hurt. After he came back, he kept talking to me about his battle with Tie Dan for over an hour."
“After his brother came back, he kept talking, forcing Da Dan to run to his room to hide from him; after his father came back, he started pestering him again. If Tie Dan were in front of him, he would definitely have started a fight for us right there.”
Jiang Damei thought of Da Wa, who had been chasing after Wu Shengli to learn martial arts, and agreed: "Da Wa is the same. His father was so forced that he didn't even eat a few bites of food before running away under the pretext of having to work."
As they were talking, Xu Huiniang and Huang Guihua walked in together, each carrying something.
They were all acquaintances, and the group chatted happily together.
The Li family was thrown into complete chaos.
Tie Dan wasn't interested in the egg pancakes that He Jiajia had painstakingly made with lots of oil, and continued to wail and cry for wild scallion pancakes.
When Secretary Li saw that Tie Dan's face was covered in bruises and red marks, he learned that he had gotten into a fight with Er Dan and didn't think much of it.
As a result, Tie Dan mentioned Duo Xi's name while wailing, and Secretary Li's ears immediately perked up: "What does this have to do with Duo Xi?"
He Jiajia mumbled, "Tiedan saw Duoxi eating a pancake outside and came back to tell me it smelled really good. He wanted to eat some too, but he couldn't tell what kind of pancake it was. I'll go ask him tomorrow."
Secretary Li was unaware of the details. It wasn't the first or second time that Tie Dan had set his sights on other people's food and made a fuss about doing it. He was already used to it. As long as Tie Dan didn't cause trouble outside, he was too lazy to argue with He Jiajia about it at home.
Secretary Li's attention was focused on Ru Jia: "Yu, the educated youth, is easy to get along with. If you have the chance, spend more time with her. Her children have been coming out to play a lot this year, so you can let Tie Dan go and play with them more."
Duofu and the others are well-behaved, polite, and clean. If Tiedan spends more time with them, his temperament will definitely improve.
Thinking of this, Secretary Li glanced at Tie Dan and saw him wiping his tears and snot on He Jiajia's body. Secretary Li was so angry that he clenched his hand holding the pipe a few times, wanting to hit him but holding back.
Tie Dan, unaware of Secretary Li's good intentions, immediately retorted when he heard that he wanted to play with Duo Fu and the others: "I don't want to play with Duo Fu and the others. They ganged up on us with Er Dan. I'll fight them back next time I see them."
Secretary Li's expression tightened: "The people you fought with today, and Duofu and the others?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, He Jiajia quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's just a little squabble between some kids, nothing serious."
Erdan was a mischievous boy; he and Tiedan had been fighting for years, getting into a brawl every few days, so he wasn't surprised. But Duofu and the others were different; they were good-looking and well-mannered, so why was Tiedan fighting with them?
Thinking this way, Secretary Li asked, "Duofu and the others are well-behaved, sensible, and filial. Why would they start arguing with Tiedan for no reason? What did Tiedan do?"
He Jiajia: "It was just a few words of argument. Kids are like that. They start fighting all the time. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
She wanted to settle things peacefully, but with her precious grandson holding her back, her hopes were destined to be dashed.
Tie Dan was pampered by his family since birth. At most, Secretary Li would say a few words to him, but Tie Dan never took it to heart. Therefore, he was not afraid of Secretary Li at all.
Tie Dan didn't think he was wrong at all, and said with his neck outstretched, "It's all Duo Xi's fault. She was holding the cake there to tempt me, but she wouldn't give me any, so I couldn't help but snatch it."
"Later, I asked Duofu and the others to go home and get me some cakes, but they wouldn't. So I had Heidan beat them up. Grandma, I want to eat Duoxi's cakes. Go to his house and get lots and lots of them."
At this point, He Jiajia didn't care about the pancakes anymore; Secretary Li was already on the verge of exploding in anger.
Despite He Jiajia's efforts to defend Tie Dan, she couldn't stop the enraged Party Secretary Li, and Tie Dan got a beating.
Gao Guojing had been gone for more than half a month, but his room wasn't dirty. Gao Shujing finished cleaning it in just over ten minutes. Once he finished cleaning the room for the little ones, it would be habitable.
It was the first time the children had stayed away from adults, and they weren't scared, mainly because there were many of them and Gao Shujing's room was only one wall away from theirs.
Duofu and Duoshou were a little unaccustomed at first, but they were quickly drawn to the noisy Duolu and Duoxi. After calming the two down, the group was so tired that they fell asleep.
Gao Shujing was a little worried and came over several times that night, mainly because he was afraid that the little ones would kick off their blankets and catch a cold while they were asleep, as they were usually restless when they slept.
Duofu felt someone moving the blanket in his sleep. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Gao Shujing holding a flashlight.
Duofu called out "Uncle" softly, and Gao Shujing tucked him in: "It's okay, you go to sleep, Uncle is here."
The next day, Yu Rujia was greeted by an apology from Party Secretary Li.
Team leader Huang was generally in charge of team affairs, while Party Secretary Li didn't manage things much. Apart from his son Tiedan being a bit unreliable, the other family members were fairly well-behaved in the team and didn't take advantage of his power to ask for benefits.
Of course, he was the head of the brigade after all, and the people in the brigade wouldn't offend his family members casually.
Yu Rujia didn't expect him to come all this way for this: "Hey, why are you still taking this to heart? Which family's kids don't fight? Look at Duofu and the others, they're always causing trouble all day long."
Party Secretary Li: "That's right, I was worried that Tiedan would scare Duofu and the others if he got too cocky."
