Chapter 184 Extra 2 (3)
Extra 2 (3)
Nuozai really felt bad for his little basketball hoop. As soon as his mother took him out of the car, he ran over with his short legs, yelling, "Don't play with my basketball hoop!!"
Mother Jiang symbolically called out from behind: "Nuonuo! Don't be rude!"
But he didn't really chase after her. Instead, he accompanied Mother Gu and walked slowly behind.
Little boy Dajiang chased after his little brother Nuonuo.
"Don't hit my basketball hoop so hard! You're going to break it! Hmph!"
Eight-year-old Ding Pingzhou, who was much taller than Little Milk Ball, didn't take Little Glutinous Boy seriously at all. He put his hand on his head and gestured vaguely, "Little guy, you're not even as tall as a basketball. You can't play."
Nuozai puffed out his chest and said, "When I grow taller, I can play!"
Ding Pingzhou: "Little dwarf."
Nuozi: “…”
"Ahhhhhhh!" Nuozi was furious. "I! Am! Not! Short!"
Ding Pingzhou seemed to find it amusing to tease children. He placed his hands on his knees, bent over, and looked at him. "Xiao Nuonuo, why are you bald now? Why don't you wear braids or a bellyband anymore?"
"Because I'm grown up! Humph!"
Nuozai is young and not good at arguing with others. When expressing his dissatisfaction, he will just pinch his waist and say "humph".
Classmate Ding Pingzhou seemed addicted to bullying children. He suppressed a laugh and said, "How can a little girl shave her head? She looks better with a braid."
"I'm not a little girl!"
"Really? How can you prove it? Do you have a penis?"
"Of course!" Seeing that Nuozai was about to take off his pants again, Dajiang could no longer bear it. He held Nuozai's little hands and raised his head to say to Ding Pingzhou in a sonorous voice, "Don't lie to the child! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
Ding Pingzhou was amused and gave Dajiang a push, "Little Black Coal Ball, where are you from?"
No matter how strong little Gu Jiangkuo was, he couldn't beat an elementary school student who was four years older than him. He staggered after being pushed. Nuozai saw this and stepped forward to stop him, stretching out his little arms like lotus roots. "Bad brother! If you bully him again, I will, I will cry! See if Uncle Ding hears and beats you up?"
This threat was obviously very effective, and Ding Pingzhou became scared on the spot.
Nuozai didn't argue with him for long, he just pulled up his brother Dajiang and ran into the room.
The new nanny, Aunt Mei, opened the door, and the two little kids ran in.
Leaving Ding Pingzhou alone in the yard, he kicked the basketball hoop and said, "Tsk, you little snitch!"
.
In the living room, the atmosphere between the adults was a little tense. All the adults were laughing, but the atmosphere was a little cold. Ding Yansheng said pretentiously, "Old Jiang, it's not that I don't want to help you. The main thing is that I'm not the only one who has the final say in the Ding Group now. There are so many shareholders, big and small, and I have to be responsible for them. You don't know, the company has expanded, there are more people, and there are more things to do. There are many things that are beyond my control."
This is a blatant show-off, implicitly mocking the small size of Jiang's company.
"Old Ding is getting cocky!" Father Jiang cursed in his heart, but after all, he needed help, so he could tolerate Boss Jiang's stinginess. "Brother Ding, we can still discuss the terms..."
"I have only one condition," Ding Yansheng waved his hand and noticed the two little kids who had just walked in. "Hey, Nuonuo? Why did you shave your head? You look like little monks. Come here, uncle will hug you!"
Nuozai curled his lips and shrank behind Dajiang.
Little Gu Jiangkuo really protected his younger brother in a proper manner and looked at Ding Yansheng vigilantly.
Boss Ding was amused: "Who is this child? - Nuonuo is still so shy, he doesn't let me hold him, and won't even call me uncle. Old Jiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't raise a little boy so pampered."
Father Jiang laughed and said, "My sister-in-law praised him last time for being 'a noble man who speaks slowly.' Brother Ding, don't bother with a child. Nuonuo is only four years old. What does he know?"
Ding Yansheng choked.
If he continued talking, it would seem as if he was really that stingy, as if he was nitpicking with a baby.
This old man! He is unmoved by anything else, but he cannot joke with his precious little son. Tsk, a boy who is raised so spoiled, and others can't say anything.
At this time, Mother Jiang came in late, holding Mother Gu's hand.
Mother Jiang dismissed the two little kids blocking the door: "Nuonuo, take your brother Dajiang upstairs to play."
After receiving the order, Nuozai said happily, "Brother, come on, I'll take you to the toy room!" Then he pulled little Gu Dajiang and climbed the stairs together, panting.
The wooden stairs in the villa were still a bit steep for the four-year-olds with short legs. The two kids grabbed the handrails and climbed up slowly, sticking out their little heads as they climbed, listening to the adults' conversation curiously.
Mother Gu said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you had guests. It's so intrusive of me to come."
"It's okay." Mother Jiang pulled her over and sat down together. "Old Ding is also here to discuss the land. He's the major shareholder—"
"Sister-in-law, this matter has not been decided yet." Ding Yansheng interrupted.
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "I don't understand your business affairs, but I promised Sister Wang the original shares long ago. Old Jiang, Brother Ding, you all have to give me face."
Mother Gu's maiden name is Wang, her younger brother is Wang Weiguo, and her own name is also very characteristic of that era, Weihong.
After hearing what Mother Jiang said, Ding Pingzhou understood. When the Ding family started, many relatives and friends wanted to take advantage of them, or took the initiative to use these original shares that were sure to make money to build relationships and do favors. The company was very large, and this kind of gift of shares as a favor would not be even a fraction of a share, so it would not affect these big investors.
Ding Yansheng smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law. Since your friend has asked, how can I refuse you? It's just that we haven't finalized the financing yet. ...How about this, you two chat first, and Lao Jiang will think about it. If he thinks my conditions are acceptable, we can continue."
Father Jiang: "Brother Ding! Is it really impossible to discuss this?"
"I know you have difficulties, but I have mine too." Ding Yansheng continued to practice Tai Chi. He had plenty of patience and knew that Boss Jiang didn't have time. If he couldn't find a more suitable investor, he would have no choice but to agree to him.
Ding Yansheng knew that he was not a good friend and that it was not fair to take advantage of others in distress, but from a business perspective, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
After saying that, Ding Yansheng stood up and left. Father Jiang knew that Old Ding was determined and it was useless to try to persuade him to stay. He was about to send him away when he heard Mother Gu say, "I am very optimistic about that piece of land and I trust Boss Jiang's vision. I am a direct person, so I will just say it straight. I brought 200 million today. Let's see how much I can buy."
Mother Jiang: “!?”
Father Jiang, who was about to see the guests off, and Ding Yansheng, who had already stood up and walked to the center of the living room, said: "??!!"
Father Jiang didn't bother to see the guest off, but turned back and asked, "Sister Wang, how much money did you bring?"
Mother Gu took out a check and repeated the amount, "I don't know if it's enough."
"!!!!" Jiang's father took it and checked it. Finding it was real, he excitedly said, "Enough, of course not! Are you really planning to invest it all?"
So, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Gu talked incessantly about the prospects of the land, leaving Ding Yansheng standing in the middle of the living room, not knowing whether to leave or stay, feeling quite embarrassed.
What a coincidence! A rich woman suddenly appears to slap me in the face. Could this be a trick played by Lao Jiang?
What is the origin of this lady?
How come he had never heard of this person in Yanlin?
Ding Yansheng coughed lightly, walked over and glanced casually at the check on the coffee table...it seemed real.
Ding Yansheng was confused.
"Oh, Old Ding." Father Jiang smiled, as if he had just realized that he hadn't left. "It's just right that Madam Gu is willing to invest in this project. You don't have to worry about it, old brother. This has solved a big problem for both you and me. We should thank Madam Gu sincerely."
Ding Yansheng's face was very ugly, and his smile was very stiff. "Thank you very much. Madam Gu is very wealthy, and the Ding family can't even compare to her. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
"Hey—" This time it was Father Jiang's turn to stop him from leaving. "Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still friendship. Old Ding, we've been friends for years. If the deal doesn't go through, can't I invite you to dinner?"
The cooked duck has flown away, so what's the point of having dinner? Suddenly, Mrs. Gu showed up, and he was furious.
Father Jiang: "Why? Didn't Ding's shareholders originally disagree with you doing me a favor? Now that we have the best of both worlds, aren't you happy, brother?"
Ding Yansheng had no choice but to hold back his anger and force a smile: "How could that be? Old Jiang, it's hard to refuse your kindness. We can just stay for dinner."
.
upstairs.
Little Gu Jiangkuo has only been a "rich second generation" for two or three months, and the hardware in his home has not caught up yet, so how can he have a room specifically for toys?
Seeing the toys all over the room, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head, "Wow!"
The floor of the toy house was covered with colorful foam mats, so people could sit directly on it. Nuozi pulled out a green dinosaur doll with great effort and stuffed it into Gu Jiangkuo's arms. He said generously, "Brother, let's play together. I like Brother Dajiang. You can play with all my toys."
Gu Zai couldn't help but think of Nuonuo's stingy look when he was protecting the basketball hoop. He was very satisfied with this different treatment. He took the dinosaur toy and hugged it tightly, saying seriously: "Nuonuo, don't show your little Jiji to others casually in the future!"
"I didn't show it to anyone casually," Nuozi said angrily, "He always said I was a little girl, but I'm obviously a man!"
Dajiang: "You don't need to prove it to him! If he says anything bad about you again, I'll help you beat him up. ...My dad said that Jiji can't be shown to others casually, only to mom and dad and..."
Little Gu Dajiang wanted to say that he could watch it "with his wife," but when he thought about the fact that Nuozai couldn't be his wife, he felt a little disappointed and changed his words to say, "Only with very close friends."
"Oh!" Nuozai suddenly realized, "Then from now on, I'll let Brother Dajiang take care of Little Jiji alone, okay?"
"good!"
Children speak without restraint. The two little kids didn’t think there was anything wrong and were even very happy.
There were enough toys of all sizes in the toy house, and the little ones had a lot of fun playing with them. It was around seven o'clock, and after the adults had finished their meal, Mother Gu came to pick Dajiang up and take him home.
——The kindergarten provides dinner, so you don’t need to eat again when you get home. For children of this age, drinking milk before going to bed is enough.
But the two little friends had so much fun that neither of them was willing to leave. They cried out to their mothers and begged them to let Dajiang sleep at their house.
Mrs. Gu felt embarrassed to bother them and insisted on leaving. Boss Jiang, on the other hand, saw this as a good opportunity to build a closer relationship with the investors and advised, "Sister Wang, the two children are having a great time and don't want to be apart. Why don't you stay overnight? We'll send them to kindergarten together tomorrow morning."
"How can I be so embarrassed?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just a simple matter."
Little Dajiang also shouted at the top of his voice: "Mommy, please!"
Mother Gu had no choice but to agree, and then she heard the two kids cheering with scissors hands: "Yeah!!"
.
It is necessary to take a bath before going to bed. Usually, the nanny at home is responsible for giving Nuonuo a bath. Today, there is a new child, Dajiang, so Aunt Mei is asked to help, while Mother Jiang is busy preparing new clothes for Dajiang.
Dajiang has long arms and legs and is taller than other children of the same age. None of Nuonuo's clothes can fit him. Fortunately, Nuonuo still has some new clothes given by others that have not been opened because they are not the right size.
Mother Jiang picked out a set of clothes that was one size larger and prepared them, then threw the two children's dirty clothes into the mini washing machine.
The two children squeezed into a large bathtub, with foam on their heads and little yellow ducks floating in the water. They were so excited that water splashed everywhere.
After washing together and changing into clean clothes, they were thrown together on the big bed. Since there was no new bottle and she wasn't sure how much Dajiang would eat, Mother Jiang heated up a large bowl of milk and said, "If you can't finish it, leave it."
However, little Gu Jiangkuo, holding a large bowl that was bigger than his face, drank the milk in one gulp and asked, "Auntie, do you have any more?"
Mother Jiang was terrified, fearing that the child would overeat, so she lied and said there was nothing left, and gave him a toy to distract him. But little Gu Dajiang was very thoughtful and asked, "Auntie, I don't want the toy anymore. Can I see my brother Nuonuo's photo album?"
"Of course." Mother Jiang said with a smile.
She found that the child was about the same age as her own son, but much more stable. Such a little kid didn't make any noise when he went to other people's homes. He was polite and could clearly express what he wanted.
Look at my own son:
He was sitting with his short legs crossed, sucking on the bottle with relish.
Nuozai is the apple of Jiang's eye. Coincidentally, his family is well-off, so they took a lot of photos of him, including full-month photos, hundred-day photos, and various artistic photos. Little Gu Dajiang carefully flipped through the photos one by one.
It doesn't seem like he's just looking around casually, but rather like he's looking for something.
However, the two babies were not making any noise, one drinking milk and the other looking at photos, so Mother Jiang quietly left - the family had received a big business order today, and seeing that Old Jiang seemed very happy, she couldn't wait to hear what was going on.
Little Dajiang flipped through three photo albums before he finally found the photos of the kindergarten's Children's Day activities last year. There were individual photos and group photos of a large group of child actors, but among all the little kids, Nuonuo stood out.
At that time, Nuozai was ignorant and naive. His hair was a little long and had a ponytail. His cheeks were also photographed with red cheeks.
Her big eyes were like two shiny Kyoho grapes, her arms and legs were exposed, like tender lotus roots, she was wearing shorts, and only a red bellyband on her upper body, like a ginseng doll in a cartoon.
So cute.
Seeing this, little Dajiang wanted to kiss him very much - and those uncles and aunts also wanted to kiss the cute little child when they saw him.
Dajiang put down the photo album and crawled over to Nuozai. "Nuonuo, don't you dislike people mistaking you for a girl?"
Nuozai hadn't finished his milk yet. He held the bottle, his cheeks puffing out from under his chubby cheeks. Hearing this, he pulled the nipple out with a "pop" sound and said, "I don't like it."
Then he continued to suck on the bottle.
Dajiang dragged the photo over and asked: "Then why are you still wearing a bellyband?"
Nuozai sucked on the bottle and gave him a puzzled look, obviously not understanding the connection.
Dajiang crossed his short legs and pointed out to him seriously: "This, this, and this, they are all girls in our class, and you are the only boy! Do you see the problem?"
Nuozai blinked his big eyes blankly, obviously no.
The nanny who was spreading the quilts over them finally couldn't help but laugh, saying, "This was an event last year for Children's Day. Several classes put together a program, and little girls were given priority. But the teacher from the next class borrowed our Nuonuo to be the face of the show. Teacher Vicky said it was because Nuonuo was pretty. At first, Nuonuo refused to wear it, but then she agreed for some reason."
Dajiang was not very satisfied and frowned. He said, "Next time Teacher Vicky asks you to go, be firm and don't agree, otherwise people will mistake you for a girl."
Nuozai continued to suck the bottle with his cheeks bulging, and nodded in a daze.
It took another ten minutes for him to finish the bottle of milk. Nuozai said with a sad face that he couldn't drink any more. The nanny coaxed him for a while, and he was able to drink just a little bit.
After arranging for the two little ones to rinse their mouths, the nanny told them a bedtime story and then turned off the lights. "Good night, babies."
Nuozai yawned and said reflexively, "Good night, Auntie."
Then he grabbed the little dinosaur next to his pillow and closed his eyes.
Dajiang also yawned, but he couldn't sleep because of the sudden change of environment, so he crawled over quietly and moved his little pillow to sit close to Nuozai.
He was so close that he could smell the milky fragrance on Nuozai.
Little Dajiang's stomach growled, and he nudged the fragrant little milk ball beside him: "Nuonuo, can I give you a kiss?"
"No." Nuozi refused, and with good reason, "Men can't kiss."
"Oh." Dajiang thought it made sense and immediately dismissed the idea.
But after tossing and turning for a while, he still couldn't fall asleep, so he pushed Nuozai again and asked, "Why did you agree to Teacher Vicky?"
"ah?"
"Weren't you reluctant at first? Why did you agree to let her wear a bellyband later?"
Nuozi was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes. He mumbled, "Teacher Vicky said if I participate in the performance, she'll give me a sticker as a reward."
Dajiang: “…………”
Dajiang sighed like a grown-up, rubbed his chubby little brother Nuonuo's face, and said, "Little fool."
"I'm not stupid." Nuozai muttered.
"Then..." Little Dajiang put his face forward, "Give me a kiss and I'll give you a sticker!"
"No." Nuozi was very principled. "It has to be a reward from the teacher."
Little Gu Dajiang: “…………”
"Then...where are the Ultraman stickers?" asked little Oe without hope.
Then, with a "smack" sound, he received a kiss that tasted like milk, and his face was covered with saliva.
.
The next day, when Mother Jiang came to wake them up, she saw the two little kids hugging each other. The little dinosaur, which Nuozai usually loved the most, was kicked to Dajiang's feet, and Dajiang took the place of the little dinosaur and was held in Nuozai's short little arms. They were both sleeping soundly.
The two cubs with short arms and legs sleeping together are so cute!
Mother Jiang couldn't help but take out her camera and took another picture of them.
Then they picked them up one by one, and with the help of the nanny, dressed them neatly and prepared to pack them together to send to the kindergarten. Before leaving, Dajiang politely asked his mother if she could give him the photo of Nuonuo wearing a bellyband.
Since the negatives were still there, Mother Jiang generously fulfilled the child's wish.
.
If two children are good friends, play together, and grow up together, they can be called "childhood friends". However, if the relationship between the two families is close, and they even help each other in their careers, then they may develop into "lifelong friends".
Both the Jiang and Gu families planned this.
So, when the two little ones graduated from kindergarten, the two families unanimously decided to let them attend the same class in the same school.
During the summer vacation this year, the two families took their children to Turkey for a trip. After returning, Dajiang got darker and started to grow hair. After the vacation, his pants became shorter. However, Nuozai grew slowly, but was still fair and tender. Compared with him, he really looked like a younger brother who was a few years younger.
As the relationship between the Jiang and Gu families became better and better, the relationship between the Jiang and Ding families became much more distant.
The piece of land really appreciated in value by several times that year. It was a very successful investment. Ding Yansheng regretted it every time he thought about it. He regretted that he was greedy and missed the opportunity. Now the situation has changed. He wants to ask Jiang Group for cooperation, but Director Jiang plays Tai Chi with him and uses his previous argument that "after the company becomes big, it needs to consider the ideas of shareholders and it has no choice" to disgust him.
Ding Yansheng had no words to express his pain.
The only comforting thing recently is probably that my youngest son Ding Pingzhou, who is in the fifth grade, has good final exam results. If he maintains this, he won't have to go to a private middle school, but can be admitted to Yanlin No. 1 Middle School based on his grades.
The junior high and senior high schools of Yanlin No. 1 Middle School are both the best middle schools in Yanlin. The senior high school even has places for students to be admitted to Yanlin University.
At the same time, Nuozai and Dajiang have completed the admission procedures and will be officially promoted to first-grade students tomorrow.
The day before school started, the two children lived together again.
Since kindergarten, the two cubs have often run to each other's homes to disturb each other. The Jiang family treats Gu Jiangkuo as half a son, and the Gu family loves Nuozai as much as his biological parents.
Their relationship is as good as that of brothers.
Wearing dinosaur pajamas, Nuozai was a little nervous: "I heard that elementary school is just classes every day, no desserts, no slides, and no teachers reading stories!"
"Of course, because we've grown up," said Dajiang, a classmate wearing the same style of dinosaur pajamas, two sizes larger, seriously. "What man can you find who eats dessert every day?"
"..." Nuozi said worriedly, "Is it not okay to eat secretly?"
Classmate Gu Jiangkuo is very principled: "Do you still want to be a man? It's so embarrassing for a boy to secretly eat dessert."
Nuozi: “…Okay.”
Nuozai remembered that in order to welcome his own 'growing up', he had ordered his parents not to call him by his nickname in the future. Now he couldn't help but remind them: "Brother Dajiang, you must remember to call me by my full name in the future. When I grow up, if you keep calling me 'Nuonuo', people will laugh at me."
But he was reluctant to give up the intimate name "Nuonuo".
Gu Jiangkuo thought about it and decided to give up his principle: "How about this, I will secretly bring you dessert and call you Nuonuo. I will be the only one calling you that. As long as no one knows, it won't be embarrassing."
