Chapter 106: Don’t Float!
Chen Yin was quite dissatisfied with Yan Jiuru for making a special phone call to call the old lady back.
She complained privately, "We gave birth to our own child, so we should work harder. It's not good to trouble the old man."
"That's nothing." Yan Jiuru disagreed. "The old lady isn't that old. It's only a few steps for her to pick up the child. Besides, if I hadn't said that, she wouldn't have come back."
With two more little kids around, it's really hard for their mother to handle it all by herself.
Chen Yin put her hands on her hips.
She found that her husband had become more and more capricious in recent years.
Especially those who like to take on too much without asking others whether they are willing or not.
They have been classmates since childhood and grew up wiping noses together. It can be said that they understand each other's nature very well.
This guy usually looks cheerful and easy to talk to, but he is a bit rebellious in nature and needs to be stroked in a gentle way. However, when he is in a good mood, he can be a bit sharp.
"Then did you ask Grandpa if he's happy with it? Leaving him alone in his hometown?"
Yan Jiuru said, "The old man and the old lady want the land. It's a rare opportunity, so let them divide it. However, farming is so hard, so forget it.
I thought that at worst I could just spend money to buy some agricultural machinery and use the machines instead of manual labor to help with the planting.
How can we really let them farm the land?"
"Given Grandpa's temper, if I hadn't called the old lady back, do you believe they would have cleaned up the land? They might not even stop until next spring, when they've planted the seeds."
Yan Jiuru crossed her legs and said happily, "The old lady is back. Just wait and see. It won't be long after we divide the land, and the old man will be back."
Chen Yin thought about it and nodded. "That's true, but have you ever thought about how lonely the old man would be if this happened? He'd be alone all the time, leaving early and coming back late. Whether he was with Second Uncle or Ruchun, he wouldn't be that comfortable after all."
Yan Jiuru looked at Chen Yin with a frown on his face, and after thinking for a while, he understood a little.
Chen Yin has been filial to the elderly since she was a child. When she was at home, she was filial to her grandmother and great-grandmother. After she got married, she also treated the elderly in her family very well.
"Well, it's not impossible to say so."
Yan Jiuru glanced at his wife and said tentatively, "Actually, I've made some contributions since I came back this time. I've been promoted to a higher level by the institute, and my salary and benefits have also been increased."
He is no longer a person who relies on salary to make a living, but he still has some benefits.
For example, according to the treatment after promotion, he can be provided with a car and security guards. If he asks for it, it is not impossible to hire a nanny or something. . . . .
He glanced at Chen Yin as he spoke, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yin glared at him.
"I think you are drifting!"
"Also hire guards and a nanny?" How dare he think about it!
“Who knows when and if the wind will change?”
Politics is the most difficult thing to handle.
"In ancient times, there was a new emperor and new ministers, and the decision-makers at the top would also change."
Who knows whether the previous president’s statement will be continued at that time?
"I think you'd better keep a low profile."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The Demon Lord sighed.
He wanted to be arrogant, but his wife was too deeply influenced by her father-in-law. Could he be arrogant?
***
Chen Yin's criticism did cool down Yan Jiuru.
He calmed down and reflected on it. Things had been going smoothly recently, and he was indeed a little proud.
When he was practicing in the past, he rarely committed this taboo.
His current background is really nothing compared to those aristocratic families hidden behind the power.
Oh, keep trying.
Seeing her husband return to his old ways, Chen Yin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although her father was just a guerrilla instructor, the revolutionary who was baptized in the rain of bullets also experienced different stages of the revolution.
The struggle is never just external, there is also the clash of various internal opinions, and the results are sometimes very tragic.
She had been listening to her father talk about the past and present since she was a child, especially after the major movements, her father often analyzed various reasons in private. She had developed a sensitivity to politics at an early age.
Walking on the edge of a knife, she was really afraid that he would make a mistake and end up in trouble.

The cool autumn breeze takes away the heat left over from midsummer.
The autumn sports meeting has not started on the campus of Yanda University yet, but Zhuangzhuang from the affiliated kindergarten has welcomed the children's fun sports meeting first.
That day, Yan Jiuru picked up Zhuangzhuang from school and handed Chen Yin a list, saying, "The kindergarten is also going to have a sports day, and parents are required to accompany their children."
Chen Yin took it with confusion, "Is the kindergarten holding a sports day?"
In addition to time and things to pay attention to, the list also includes competition items.
"Oh, it's still all day."
There are parents' three-legged race, piggyback race, children's circle race, family relay race, little hero grain transporting competition, sedan chair carrying competition, children's shuttlecock kicking competition, standing long jump competition, sandbag throwing, children's tug-of-war competition, parents' tug-of-war competition, eagle catches chicken, award ceremony, group photo, etc.
Quite complete.
Chen Yin asked Zhuang Zhuang: "Did the teacher say that both parents must attend?"
"Yes!" Zhuangzhuang nodded heavily, "Parents who cannot attend must ask the teacher for leave."
Yan Jiuru: "Okay, have you decided which competition you want to participate in?"
Zhuangzhuang sighed, "It's so hard for me." He wanted to participate.
But the teacher wouldn't let me.
Each child can only choose three single-player matches.
"I had no choice but to choose long jump, little hero carrying food, and tug-of-war."
He also didn't forget to care about what his parents chose.
Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin discussed it and chose three-legged race, family relay race, piggyback race and tug-of-war.
In order to develop rapport for the competition, the couple even practiced the three-legged race several times at home.
I used to play this a lot when I was a kid, but I haven't had much chance to play it in recent years.
The two of them made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, stumbling and falling over each other, making the whole family laugh so hard that they fell over.
Later, the two of them hugged each other and jumped and ran openly. After practicing a few times, they got the feeling back.
***
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the children's sports meet.
The family of three dressed neatly and arrived at the east side of Yanda Stadium early.
The kindergarten borrowed the university's stadium, which was also filled with colorful flags and the sound of drums and trumpets.
Those were the children in the senior class of the kindergarten, beating small waist drums and blowing trumpets, marching in formation under the command of a small flag bearer, preparing for the opening ceremony.
"Oh, it really looks like it!"
The atmosphere was quite lively.
Little Zhuangzhuang looked at the drummers in the senior class with envy for a while, then he couldn't wait to pull his father's hand and urged, "Hurry up, Dad."
He can't be late, he has to sign in with the teacher quickly.
Yan Jiuru quickly took him to the first grade class and handed him over to the teacher.
"The parents are just outside here."
After the teacher gave the instructions, he led the children to line up.
The couple saw children and parents arriving one after another, and roughly counted that there were three or four hundred people.
They even saw many familiar teachers and professors in the parent group. . . . .
Chen Yin: "Will it seem like bullying?"
Since they are both young, they must have better physical strength.
"Are you overthinking it?" Yan Jiuru pointed in a certain direction.
When Chen Yin took a look, she was surprised to see that several teachers from the physical education department were there!
Ahem, the two of them honestly didn't chat up anyone else.
***
"Dear parents and children, welcome to the Yanda Kindergarten Autumn Sports Meet!
Now, we invite the principal of the kindergarten affiliated to Yancheng University to speak."
The head teacher probably knew that the children had little patience, so he announced the start of the sports meeting after a few words.
The drum and bugle corps of the senior class took the lead, followed by the other children in the middle and junior classes. After circling the field, they lined up in the middle of the field and marched rhythmically.
Although some children ran to the wrong position, couldn't keep up with the movements, or turned the wrong way, it was generally pretty good.
The parents gave warm applause without hesitation.
After the warm-up performance, Zhuangzhuang quickly ran to his mother to ask for water, and then asked his father to take him to the toilet.
Yan Jiuru muttered softly, "There really are a lot of things to do."
Then, he was glared at by his wife.
***
At nine o'clock sharp, the competition officially began.
The first competition for parents is the three-legged race.
Regardless of class size, let’s compete together!
This competition had the largest number of parents participating and they were divided into five groups, with the top three from each group participating in the finals.
Yan Jiuru and his partner drew lots to be in the third group.
Zhuangzhuang even ran over to cheer them up: "Don't be nervous, Mom and Dad, you'll get first place!"
Here comes the task, little brat!
Yan Jiuru pretended to kick him in the butt, and Zhuangzhuang ran away, covering his butt with his hands and laughing.
***
The game begins.
There are a lot of funny moments in the first two groups.
Many parents can tell that their children have never practiced, so they speed up as soon as they start running. As a result, they either fall down because of the mismatch in running speed, or they struggle all the way to the finish line.
There are also various fouls.
When it was the third group's turn, Yan Jiuru and Chen Yinte chose to sit on the side.
As soon as the starting gun sounded, the two people ran forward one, two, one, two.
Then they were careless and lost the game, and the two barely advanced to the next round in second place.
At least we advanced to the finals.
Chen Yin reflected on herself: "I'm the one holding myself back. I haven't exercised much in the past year."
"It's okay, just playing."
In order not to embarrass himself, Yan Jiuru almost carried Chen Yin while running during the finals, and finally managed to cross the finish line first.
"Oh, mom and dad are first!"
Zhuangzhuang's voice broke from shouting.
Yan Jiuru rolled his eyes. If it wasn’t for the sake of saving face for this kid, would he have fought so hard?
***
After participating in the children's sports meeting for most of the day, the family of three returned home with several certificates and rewards.
Zhuangzhuang was so excited that he fell asleep on the way home.
The couple wiped the child's hands and feet, wiped the sweat off his face, and carefully covered him with a blanket.
After taking a bath, Chen Yin had to muster up the energy to feed the two little ones and coax them to sleep.
In the end, before the child could be coaxed to sleep, the two younger ones coaxed her to sleep first.
When Yan Jiuru finished washing and returned to the house, she saw this scene: the brother and sister each occupied a granary, you grabbed his nose, and he grabbed her eyes.
It's obvious that they are just fighting for fun after eating.
As for the children's mother, with her snow-white hair exposed, she fell into a sound sleep.
Yan Jiuru laughed and cursed in a low voice: "Two little brats!"
"Mom is tired. Don't disturb her, okay? Go to sleep!"
"Or else you'll be spanked!"
I don’t know if the two little kids understood the threat. They looked at their dad with watery eyes and yawned delicately. Fortunately, they fell asleep soon after.
Yan Jiuru quietly covered Chen Yin's clothes, then lay down himself, stretched out his long arms to hug the adult and the child, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
