Chapter 347: Conflicts between the Second Generation of Officials. Relying on his uncle being in the army, he...
There are few mentally healthy elders in this world who are truly foolish.
If it looks like that, then it must be fake. Xiao's parents are just such fools.
After all, as parents, how could they not know what a disaster their son is?
Therefore, after hearing Chief Editor Gao's tearful speech, the two elders still wanted to continue playing the role of the fool.
They have only one grandson and one granddaughter. Now their eldest daughter-in-law, who has been widowed for many years, is willing to add more children to the Xiao family, which of course they are more than happy to do.
The two elders said a lot of words to comfort Editor-in-Chief Gao. In short, it was all Shouyi's fault that his daughter-in-law suffered.
Editor-in-Chief Gao was completely relieved when she saw the attitude of the two elders. She was helped up by her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the room to talk for a while.
During the conversation, the box containing the hidden paintings was mentioned. Xiao's mother was happy to play dumb and trick her daughter-in-law into giving birth to the child before anything else.
Then he whispered, "There are so many good things in there. Your father and I didn't dare to check them in or send them by mail. Luckily you're back. Please take the trouble and help Huihui carry them to the car yourself."
Editor-in-Chief Gao was overjoyed. She then produced the separation agreement she had made with Li Yue, acting awkwardly, and said, "My sister-in-law...she thinks you two elders are a burden, so she called me over and wrote a separation agreement. Don't worry, Mom. Huihui and I will definitely be filial to you."
Xiao's mother thought this was normal. Over the years, Li Yue had been traveling around with Xiao Shouyi, taking the children with her. She went wherever he was transferred. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had very little time together, so it was not surprising that Li Yue was unwilling to take care of the elderly.
She held Chief Editor Gao's hand and sighed, "You and Huihui are truly filial. Your father and I have loved you all these years in vain."
Editor-in-Chief Gao leaned on Xiao's mother's shoulder and said sweetly, "After all, you are my mother. How could I bear to let you and dad be left alone in your old age?"
Xiao's mother stroked her daughter-in-law's hair and sighed silently. She didn't know whether such a warm time would come again when the fake was exposed.
In short, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe Xiao Gao is pregnant with a boy. Keeping the baby will always keep the baby for a longer time.
The next day, three generations of the family boarded a train and headed straight for Yicheng. When the train stopped in Weicheng, Editor-in-Chief Gao tentatively asked, "Dad, Mom, do you want to go down and see Zhiwei and Arong?"
"No need, I'm not familiar with Li Yue." Xiao's mother now wants to coax her eldest daughter-in-law, so she must act as if she will never have anything to do with her second daughter-in-law.
Editor-in-Chief Gao was completely relieved and smiled as he peeled an orange for Xiao's mother. Although it was a bit sour, it tasted sweet in the mouth.
Just like that, Editor-in-Chief Gao began her unique life as an older mother trying hard to take care of her baby.
Xiao's mother cooks for her and washes her clothes every day. She is very considerate.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each calculated the last value of the other, and their smiles were as warm as spring.

This year's winter came a little early. Before the school had heating, it snowed lightly.
Many students caught colds, but fortunately Yao Zhizhi lived off campus and could burn a charcoal brazier to keep warm, so she and her family were fine.
But she still got into trouble.
Their class elected class leaders through self-recommendation as early as the beginning of the spring semester.
She did not participate, but her scores were so high that the head teacher had already appointed her as the study committee member.
This meant that she had to attend every class meeting, no matter how reluctant she was.
The class monitor is a male student from the third grade, named Cheng Che, and the organization committee member is his wife, Zhu Mingmei. They have three children, all of whom are raised by Cheng Che's parents. They currently live on campus and both fell ill with fever due to the sudden cold wave.
So today's class meeting was in charge of the deputy monitor Lu Yihong. He and the propaganda committee member Zhou Xiaoxiao were in a relationship, and the two of them were very affectionate. T was whispering outside the classroom and did not come in.
Only Yao Zhizhi and the League Secretary Ji Dongqi were in the classroom.
Ji Dongqi is Ji Pengju's nephew. He is unmarried and has not spoken to Yao Zhizhi since the start of the spring semester. As for the uncle-nephew relationship between Ji Dongqi and Ji Pengju, Yao Zhizhi only found out about it when Tang Fengyuan called her a while ago.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting face to face, waiting for Lu Yihong and Zhou Xiaoxiao, which was really boring.
Yao Zhizhi simply took out a book to pass the time.
Ji Dongqi also lowered his head to do his homework, and both of them pretended that the other did not exist.
The awkward atmosphere continued until a student from the next class who was studying came over. He was the man who had pursued Yao Zhizhi before, named Leng Dongyang. Later, when he learned that Yao Zhizhi was married, he gave up.
However, when he opened the classroom door, he saw Yao Zhizhi and Ji Dongqi studying together, and he felt jealous.
He walked over and sneered, "Hey, classmate Yao Zhizhi has a new love?"
Yao Zhizhi frowned and looked at him, then said unceremoniously, "Stop spreading rumors and watch your mouth."
Leng Dongyang didn't want to provoke her because she knew his weakness, so he could only snort and turn away.
He didn't even close the door when he went out, causing Yao Zhizhi to sneeze uncontrollably in the cold wind.
Ji Dongqi heard it, lowered his head, rummaged through his canvas bag, found two pieces of toilet paper and handed them to Yao Zhizhi.
However, Yao Zhizhi just stood up to close the door and didn't see it. When she sat back in her seat, Ji Dongqi had already taken the paper back as if nothing had happened.
Yao Zhizhi read a dozen pages of the book unconsciously before the two men came in.
Zhou Xiaoxiao found a seat in the corner, far away from Yao Zhizhi and Ji Dongqi, while Lu Yihong went straight to the podium and spoke in an official tone.
The general meaning is that it is almost the end of the year and the freshman year study career is about to end. The class is planning to organize a New Year's Day party. Each person will be charged a class fee of five yuan, which will be handed over to the organizing committee for unified management.
However, because the organization committee member fell ill, the class funds this time were given to the propaganda committee member, Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Yao Zhizhi had no objection. Whenever there was a class activity, she was only responsible for paying the money and showing up. She thought this time would be the same as before.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yihong wanted to take advantage of the class monitor's illness to make his presence felt, so he proposed a plan to arrange a time when there were no evening classes, borrow an area in the cafeteria, and make dumplings together.
"So this time we're going to ask a photographer from the photo studio to come over and take some pictures for us. This money hasn't been included in the class fees yet. I'll have to ask them to find out the exact amount." Lu Yihong said, and then asked symbolically, "Do Ji Dongqi and Yao Zhizhi have any objections?"
Of course Yao Zhizhi did, she had to go home to accompany her children at night, but if it was only once, it would be acceptable.
So she didn't say anything.
Ji Dongqi, on the other hand, asked, "What about those who have a fever and can't come?"
"Just let them come over and take a photo together. It's just a short distance, so it's no big deal." Lu Yihong was not sick, so he naturally didn't think it was a difficult task.
Ji Dongqi said, "That's not good. They already have a fever, and they have to brave the wind and snow to rush to the cafeteria to take pictures. What if their condition worsens later?"
Lu Yihong was annoyed and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think my activity plan is not well thought out?"
Ji Dongqi, always straightforward, immediately admitted, "What else could it be? I've done the statistics, and there are thirteen boys and nine girls in our class who have fallen ill. That's almost half the class. Aren't you forcing us to do something unreasonable?"
"Then can you come up with a better plan?" Lu Yihong suspected that he was deliberately sabotaging his own plans and was very dissatisfied.
Ji Dongqi shrugged: "If I really mention it, you will be unhappy, so why bother?"
Lu Yihong was completely annoyed. He put his hands on his hips and said, "What do you mean? Am I such a petty person? If you have any opinions, just tell me now. Don't act like I'm some arbitrary tyrant. You are the good person who cares about every student."
Ji Dongqi sneered, "I didn't say that. This is all your own fault. It's none of my business. As for giving me suggestions, I think it's better to forget it. You're angry now, and anything I say will be rejected. Okay, I'm leaving now."
"Wait!" Lu Yihong was furious and immediately walked down from the podium to argue with Ji Dongqi. However, Ji Dongqi was a young and hot-headed man who was unwilling to give in, so he simply turned around and left. Lu Yihong chased him all the way to the corridor and grabbed his arm.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Zhou Xiaoxiao hurried out and advised: "Hey, Xiao Ji, you know that this event is for everyone, not for any one person. Getting sick is an accident. You can't delay other people's activities because of an accident, right?"
As soon as Ji Dongqi heard it, he knew that she was taking sides. He was too lazy to talk to her, so he shook off Lu Yihong's arm and turned away.
Lu Yihong was so angry that he chased after him again. This time, he not only grabbed his arm, but also grabbed his collar, demanding an explanation from him.
Zhou Xiaoxiao echoed, "Xiao Ji, you're the youngest in the class, but everyone gives in to you because your uncle is a big boss. If you take advantage of this courtesy and act like a tyrant in class, you'll be embarrassing your uncle. I advise you to think twice!"
Ji Dongqi sneered and pushed Lu Yihong away: "Alright, you two are a couple, I can't argue with you. I don't have any objections, do whatever you want, I'm not going to accompany you anymore, and you don't even want my five dollars for class fees."
After saying that, Ji Dongqi was about to leave. Lu Yihong got anxious and tried to pull his arm again. Ji Dongqi was so angry that he swung a fist at him. Lu Yihong was so scared that he immediately let go and jumped back to dodge.
Ji Dongqi had no intention of actually taking action, so when he saw Lu Yihong retreat, he left again.
This completely annoyed Lu Yihong, and he turned around and reported him to the Academic Affairs Office, saying that Ji Dongqi did not cooperate with class activities and insulted and beat his classmates.
When the Dean of Academic Affairs heard this, his scalp went numb.
What's going on? This is Ji Pengju's nephew. Could it be that Lu Yihong thinks he can provoke the Ji family just because his uncle is in the army?
Really.
I had to quickly ask if there were any other classmates present at the time. After all, this was only Lu Yihong's one-sided statement, and it was easy to be biased.
Lu Yihong immediately said, "Publicity Committee Member Zhou Xiaoxiao and Study Committee Member Yao Zhizhi are both here. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
Yao Zhizhi, who was packing her schoolbag to leave, was invited to the Academic Affairs Office.
