After talking about children, let’s start talking about men.
Ding Li: "How is your relationship with your man going in Huadu?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "It's still the same. Our lives are not going to be smooth sailing anyway."
Ding Li: "There are all kinds of people in Huadu, so you have to be careful."
Hearing what Sister Ding said, Xu Xiangjuan thought of her own Aning's behavior before she started working. It was so childish: "I will be careful. If he had any crooked ideas, I would have taken the children away. Now I have an income, and I am not a housewife at home. I can support the children."
Ding Li: "I'm worried about you for nothing. Even if you're a housewife, you can still hold on to your man."
Xu Xiangjuan: "He has his own ideas, and I can't grasp them."
Ding Li: "Something has happened to the Wang family recently. The eldest brother was arrested, and the second and third brothers are on the run. Fortunately, Wang Qiang's wife divorced and went out to work, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble. The three brothers are worthless. When the eldest and second brothers got rich, they found concubines outside and even dared to bring them home. As for the third brother, he directly hooked up with women nearby and now he is getting his retribution."
Because of the Wang brothers, Ding Li felt more intuitively that men become bad when they have money, and bad men become worse when they have money.
Xu Xiangjuan had almost forgotten about Wang Qiang. When she heard Sister Ding mention him, she pretended to be curious and asked, "How was he arrested?"
The Wang family's affairs have spread throughout the county. Everyone has been discussing it for a long time, and the heat of the discussion is only now slowly dying down. Xu Xiangjuan didn't know that Ding Li immediately said it again.
Xu Xiangjuan heard it and realized that it was indeed not much different from her previous life: "It's retribution."
"That's right. Even a life has been lost. We are all flesh and blood. Just because they have money, they are more valuable than others. Oh, my heart ached when I heard that. If Lao Tong and Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang were in trouble, I would fight for my life."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Yes, if it were me, I would try my best to go there."
Xu Xiangjuan and Ding Li chatted for the whole morning and had so much to talk about.
...
The other side.
"Dad, don't follow us." Niu Niu tried to push his father away.
But compared with his father's strength, his is like an ant trying to shake a tree; he can't move it at all.
Dad was really disappointed. He and his uncle found the shop, but Dad followed them. It was fine for him to follow, but he didn't allow him to buy anything.
Of course Zhou Chengning didn't allow Niu Niu to buy it. He didn't get angry when Niu Niu pushed him. He simply picked Niu Niu up and said, "Ping An, let's go back. I'll ride the tricycle, and you and Niu Niu will sit in the cart. Help me look after Niu Niu."
"Okay, cousin." Ping'an didn't know why his cousin was so against Niu Niu coming to the store to buy things. Niu Niu usually didn't spend money indiscriminately. Looking at Niu Niu struggling in his father's arms and finally crying, Ping'an hesitated.
I don’t know whether I should ask my cousin why he didn’t let Niu Niu stay in the shop... Well, I should take Niu Niu to the shop next time when my cousin is not around.
Even though Niu Niu was crying, he didn't put his chubby hands on his father's face. When he was tired of crying, he lay on his father's shoulder and continued crying.
He wanted to tell his mother and let her teach his father a lesson.
Zhou Chengning returned home and rode his tricycle out at the time estimated by his lover.
Niu Niu was sitting in the truck bed, still holding the small rose-red wallet in her hand. She looked aggrieved, pouting, with traces of tears and snot on her face.
Even Uncle Ping'an stopped talking.
Song Ping'an watched Niu Niu with an expression on her face that seemed about to cry all the way until they arrived at the Chengxiang Restaurant, where Niu Niu started to cry loudly.
Seeing that Niu Niu was trying to climb down from the truck bed by himself, Song Ping'an quickly carried Niu Niu down to prevent the child from falling.
After Niu Niu went down, he ran straight to the restaurant: "Mom!"
Xu Xiangjuan was bringing out the dishes when she saw Niu Niu running over crying. She quickly hugged Niu Niu and said, "Why are you crying, Niu Niu? Did you get bumped on the road? It doesn't hurt. Mommy will take a look for you."
Although Niu Niu is still young, he still knows that "family disgrace should not be made public" and shook his head to indicate that he was not hurt.
His young heart was wounded.
The young Niu Niu, whose heart was hurt, asked his mother to follow him out.
When Xu Xiangjuan saw Niu Niu was about to pull her out, she first asked Aning and Ping'an to sit down and prepare to have lunch.
The four-person table used for lunch was moved out from the wall, so that there was enough space for five adults and two children, including Ping'an, to sit down.
Guagua had already sat down when his father and others arrived: "Dad, it's you, right?"
Niu Niu's behavior is probably because of his father. Gua Gua can guess it at a glance.
Song Ping'an looked at Gua Gua's expression and knew that this was probably not the first time this had happened.
"It's me. Anyway, I'm not afraid of my mother scolding me." Zhou Chengning was still afraid of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. At this moment, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were in the kitchen and had not come out, so he could admit it.
Guagua: "Dad needs to be afraid only when mom gets really angry. Mom usually doesn't get angry with dad."
My mother usually doesn't get angry, but when she does, she can be very fierce.
Zhou Chengning has experience, and at most his lover will say a few words to him, but he won't lose any meat. But Niu Niu will be coaxed by his mother, which is really annoying.
Outside the small restaurant.
"Niu Niu, what's wrong?" Xu Xiangjuan took out a small towel to wipe Niu Niu's face.
Niu Niu held the small wallet in his hand and said: "Small shop, my dad won't let me buy it, but I have money."
Xu Xiangjuan heard this and said, "Dad doesn't allow you to buy it? That's too much. Mom will teach Dad a lesson later."
Niu Niu and Gua Gua seldom go to small shops in Huadu. Xu Xiangjuan has also seen several small shops nearby where the kids would be chased away if they stayed for a while without buying anything.
Even though Niu Niu and Gua Gua are in kindergarten and elementary school respectively this year, she did not give them pocket money as she had said before they went to Huadu. After all, they got 10 yuan from their great-grandfather, and after their father took 5 yuan each, they still had 5 yuan left.
There should be two or three yuan left in Niu Niu's wallet.
I remember that her father cheated her out of 5 yuan, and Niu Niu gave her 1 yuan, and she seemed to have spent more than 1 yuan at a small shop.
She doesn't care much about the children's money, and Guagua and Niu Niu will never ask her for money. The two children are already very sensible.
Niu Niu didn't feel better after hearing what his mother said. His mother was just talking. Every time she said she would teach his father a lesson, she never saw his father cry after being scolded by her mother.
My sister always says that if mom doesn’t teach someone a lesson until they cry, it doesn’t count as a lesson.
Mom must have forgotten to teach Dad a lesson!
Xu Xiangjuan saw that her words about teaching her father a lesson were useless to Niu Niu: "After lunch, Mom will take Niu Niu to the store without Dad. It will be just the two of us. Mom will pay for whatever Niu Niu wants to buy."
When Niu Niu heard what his mother said, he was immediately moved. After hesitating for a few times, he finally agreed.
Seeing that Niu Niu was not sad, Xu Xiangjuan continued, "Niu Niu, Daddy was very pitiful when you were your age. Niu Niu had a warm bed, warm clothes, a nice schoolbag and wallet, and his mother would pick him up from school. But Daddy didn't have these when he was a child. He didn't even have decent shoes when he was a child. He had to wear straw sandals in the middle of winter and help adults with work... Can we be more considerate of Daddy in the future? If you don't buy food or go to the store when Daddy is around, go when he's not around, okay?"
Niu Niu: "Well, Mom, I won't go to the store when Dad is here."
It's no use going, because dad will take me home.
No matter how much Niu Niu understood, he finally understood some of it. Xu Xiangjuan took Niu Niu in to eat.
The lunch was quite sumptuous, with fish and pork. After lunch, Niu Niu almost forgot about his worries.
The lunch was relatively uneventful. After lunch, Xu Xiangjuan took a small bamboo basket.
Seeing this, Wu Caifeng asked, "Juan, are you going to buy some vegetables?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, I'll take Niu Niu to the store and buy him whatever he wants."
After all, Wu Caifeng has run the restaurant for more than half a year, and she is in charge of the bills. She is not as stingy as before. She didn't react much when she heard her daughter's words. She let Niu Niu buy whatever she wanted, and if her mother didn't have enough money, she would ask her grandmother for more.
Grandma, Grandpa and Guagua Ping'an didn't react much, but Niu Niu and Zhou Chengning had different reactions.
While eating, Niu Niu had forgotten that his mother had promised to take him to the store after lunch.
Mom was still holding the small basket and didn't even mention taking her sister with her. She just took Niu Niu with her. Niu Niu just realized that something was not right and was hesitating whether to tell his mom that he couldn't go.
Zhou Chengning felt that what made him more uncomfortable than his wife scolding him was that his wife directly took Niu Niu to the store, and even brought a small basket with her. She had already told Niu Niu to buy whatever he wanted, and his wife would definitely pay for it.
Seeing that Niu Niu was sitting there and didn't dare to move, Xu Xiangjuan simply picked up Niu Niu and went out.
After walking a distance from the restaurant, Xu Xiangjuan put Niu Niu down and said, "Don't worry about buying Niu Niu without your dad watching you. If your dad wants to scold you, your mom will scold him back for you."
Niu Niu is actually not that afraid of his dad, it’s more about his sister. Since his mom has brought him out, he might as well buy it first.
When they arrived at the shop, Niu Niu became embarrassed. Xu Xiangjuan encouraged Niu Niu to buy something. His mother paid for it. Only then did Niu Niu start to put things into the small basket his mother handed to him.
Before picking up the item, you have to ask the shop owner how much it costs. If it is more than two cents, he will not take it.
"Mom." Niu Niu hesitated holding the car.
Most of the items sold in the small shop are daily necessities and condiments, as well as snacks and toys for children. There are more snacks than toys, and there are only a few toys.
Niu Niu took a fancy to a small car that was only the size of his palm, which cost 50 cents.
Xu Xiangjuan: "If Niu Niu likes it, put it in, and mom will pay you."
Finally, Niu Niu put the car into the basket.
When paying the bill, Niu Niu handed the small basket to the boss, who counted the money and handed the basket back to Niu Niu.
A total of 1 yuan and 80 cents were spent. Xu Xiangjuan paid the money and took Niu Niu back home.
"Mom, here you go." Niu Niu gave the small wallet to his mother.
The money in the small wallet should be enough to spend at the store today.
Xu Xiangjuan probably understood what Niu Niu meant: "These are bought by mom for Niu Niu. In order to prevent Niu Niu from being angry with dad, Niu Niu doesn't have to pay for them himself. Niu Niu can just save the money himself."
Her words were a bit like "moral kidnapping", but Niu Niu was too young to understand the meaning of "moral kidnapping".
After coaxing the younger one, you have to coax the older one.
She didn't expect that Aning and Niu Niu were the biggest "hidden dangers" in the family.
Mom didn't want the money, so Niu Niu kept it for himself: "Don't be angry with Dad."
Xu Xiangjuan led Niu Niu, and Niu Niu carried the basket back to the restaurant.
The whole family had lunch at noon and the business was suspended. After lunch, the two aunts came to work later. Today they were given half a day off.
There were no guests and they were all family members, so Niu Niu was not shy when he came in carrying the basket.
Xu Xiangjuan let go of Niu Niu's hand and went to talk to Aning, and Zhou Chengning's attention was temporarily successfully diverted.
If Aning's attention is not distracted, Niu Niu will become a little target and be shot through by his father's eyes.
When Song Ping'an saw this scene, he thought it was a good thing that his cousin listened to his cousin's wife, otherwise Niu Niu would definitely have to live a hard life at home.
