"You little bastard, all you do all day long is eat!" Zhao Lan cursed upon hearing this.
Ning He interrupted with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaobao, come and eat with us. It's a good opportunity for you to help Auntie try out the tea eggs she just made."
Without waiting for Zhao Lan to react, Yang Baojun ran to Ning He's house.
"Stop, you little bastard, did your mother agree to it?!" Zhao Lan raised her neck and shouted angrily.
Ning He quickly comforted her: "Children are like this, it's their nature to love playing and eating. When I'm at home in the future, let Xiaobao come over to play more often, and he can also help me try the taste!"
Zhao Lan shook her head and sighed, "If he continues to play like this, who knows what will happen. I have discussed with his father and decided to send him to the nursery in the compound after the summer vacation."
Baojun's two older sisters are grown up and also attend primary school in the compound.
Baojun is six years old this year. Zhao Lan plans to put him in a nursery for a year to adapt so that he can follow the rules when he goes to elementary school.
Ning He thought of her good idea of having the best of both worlds.
So he asked Zhao Lan, "Sister Zhao Lan, what are your plans after the children go to school?"
"Plan?" Zhao Lan was stunned. Obviously she had never thought about this question.
She smiled and said, "What else can I plan? I just work around the house and the day will pass by."
Ning He asked, "Sister Zhao Lan, have you ever thought about finding a job?"
After hearing this, Zhao Lan was surprised and said, "Work? How can we women who follow the army find work?"
Your husband works so hard in the army, and you're not even home after the fight. Wouldn't this family be in chaos?
It is said that as long as there is a woman, there is a home.
She didn't dare to run out all day long like Ning He.
Her husband is not like Captain He, who is willing to allow his wife to show her face in public.
Zhao Lan sighed and said to Ning He earnestly, "Xiao Ning, I'm different from you, and my man is different from your man. I have three children to take care of, and I can't run away with Qianlin like you do. If my man knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die."
Ning He asked again: "If you don't want to go out and work, if there is a job in the compound, would Sister Zhao Lan be willing to try it?"
Zhao Lan was a little surprised when she heard this: "A job in a compound? Of course I'm willing to do that! But everyone wants to work in a compound, so those jobs must be very popular. Can I get a job?"
Ning He was relieved when she heard Zhao Lan was willing. She smiled and said to Zhao Lan: "Don't worry, this job must be for Zhao Lan. Just wait for my good news!"
Ning He solved a big problem in his mind and walked into the main room in a very good mood.
Ma Xiaohui packed two servings of cold noodles and two tea eggs for Jiang Zhengyu and Junzi.
After the meal, the three little boys quickly became friends, while Ma Xiaohui and Ning He were preparing ingredients for lunch.
Once the ingredients are prepared, it’s time to set up the stall.
Baojun was reluctant to let Jiang Zhengyu go, and made an appointment with him to play together tomorrow.
It was rare for Jiang Zhengyu to have two good friends, so he was naturally happy and agreed.
The tricycle stopped when it arrived at the door of Jiang Zhengyu's house.
Ning He turned to Jiang Zhengyu and said, "Xiao Yu, we are going to set up the stall, please go in quickly."
Jiang Zhengyu hesitated and didn't want to come down. He secretly glanced at Ning He and whispered, "Can I go with you to set up the stall?"
"No!" Ning He refused him without thinking.
She would never let Jiang Zhengyu follow her no matter what. Not to mention that Jiang Zhengyu was the leader's child, given how busy they were with setting up the stall, she had no energy to take care of Jiang Zhengyu at all, let alone let Jiang Zhengyu help them set up the stall. What would that look like?
Jiang Zhengyu assured in a low voice: "I'll bring my homework book with me. When you guys are busy, I'll do my homework in the back. Is that okay?"
Ning He sighed and said to Jiang Zhengyu earnestly, "It's still not possible. The environment there is very noisy and it will affect your homework. Also, your mother asked Sister Xiaoyao to tutor you, and you slipped away without saying a word. How worried would she be?"
Jiang Zhengyu complained unhappily, "How can she live here to tutor me? She is clearly here to enjoy herself!"
Ning He looked at Jiang Zhengyu in confusion.
Jiang Zhengyu continued, "If she hadn't tried to please me with a cream popsicle, I would have told my mom a long time ago! When my mom and Auntie Sun weren't around, she would sleep until noon. She also sneaked into my mom's room and wore her clothes. I saw it all!"
Ma Xiaohui was frightened when Jiang Zhengyu said this.
She had seen Zhou Yao before. She looked thin and small, and didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.
Seeing Ning He didn't say anything, Jiang Zhengyu continued, "Besides, she can't cook, I'll be hungry if I follow her. How about this, I go in and tell Sister Xiaoyao? Then bring my homework book, you guys set up the stall while I do my homework, and I'll come back after lunch?"
Qianlin felt particularly sorry for what he heard, and he also spoke up for Jiang Zhengyu.
"Mom, let Brother Xiaoyu come with me. Brother Xiaoyu can help me collect and make change."
Ning He still didn't express his opinion.
Ma Xiaohui also felt a little sympathetic towards Jiang Zhengyu: "Ninghe, let him stay until after lunch and then send him back. It will only take two hours to go back and forth."
After lunch, they closed the stall. It only took two or three hours, so it wasn't a big problem.
Ning He listened to Ma Xiaohui and Qianlin's constant persuasion and finally compromised. She nodded and said to Jiang Zhengyu.
"Then remember to tell your sister Xiaoyao when you get back, and get her permission before you can come out."
Jiang Zhengyu agreed quickly and ran and jumped into the house.
In less than five minutes, he ran out with his homework.
Ning He asked him, "Have you told your sister Xiaoyao?"
"Yeah!" Jiang Zhengyu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, she agreed."
Ning He was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Yao to agree so readily.
However, Ning He didn't think much about it and rode the tricycle out of the compound.
At this moment, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Yao looked coldly at the shadow of the tricycle leaving. She picked up the paper in her hand and glanced at it.
This is the note Jiang Zhengyu left for her.
It said: Sister Xiaoyao, I will be back soon after having lunch at the stall yesterday, don’t tell my mother!
Seeing this, Zhou Yao smiled coldly, with a slight curve at the corner of her lips.
She quickly walked to the phone and called Jiang Minke's office landline.
On the other side, Jiang Minke had just finished a half-day meeting in the morning and looked tired. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang.
She frowned slightly, reached out to pick up the phone, and spoke with a tired tone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Teacher Jiang, something bad has happened! Xiaoyu ran out of the compound!" Zhou Yao's panicked and anxious voice soon rang out from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Minke's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and she asked in a stern voice: "What?! Xiaoyu ran away alone?!"
