291.3 third parties
Li Wei was half asleep and didn't know when. It seemed that a certain guy had also returned and wanted to sleep as soon as he got into bed. Li Wei smelled a faint smell of alcohol and mumbled "take a shower." Only then did that guy reluctantly get up and go to the bathroom.
When Li Wei woke up in the morning, she felt very cramped and thought to herself, "My bed isn't small, so why is it so cramped?"
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the person sleeping behind her was holding her tightly, and that person was twice her size. In front of her, the little girl's head was resting on her chest, nestled in Luo's big arms. Behind her, Luo Yiluo was lying in a mess, as if someone had just thrown her on the bed, but she was sleeping very soundly.
As a result, Li Wei was naturally squeezed to the middle and unable to move.
Recently, the kids have developed a habit of getting up and running to their room without them even realizing it. When Aunt Wei and Aunt Gao find out, they are too embarrassed to come to their room to look for them, so these little rascals keep getting away with it.
Li Wei thought she still had a lot to do today, so she packed up and went back. Although Aunt Gao and Sister Wei should have made most of the preparations, she still needed to take care of her own things. Although it was unlikely, she felt more at ease taking care of her own affairs herself.
Actually, Li Wei had something on her mind.
Gently freeing herself from the embrace of the three children, she pulled up Roy Roll's little jacket. It was specially made from store-bought clothes, with a thick, non-rolling bellyband. In summer, children tend to kick off their blankets while sleeping, so Aunt Gao and Sister Wei specially made this kind of bellyband for them to sleep in, to keep them from catching a cold.
Da Luo returned late and slept soundly. He sensed Li Wei getting up, but didn't say anything. He closed his eyes, put the little girl on his arm as a pillow, and stroked her. He also brought Luo Yiluo to his side, and the three of them continued to sleep.
Li Wei pulled the blankets up a bit for them, then quietly got out of bed. Seeing that it was still early, and remembering that she hadn't exercised in a while, she quickly tidied herself up and went to the next room to do her yoga.
The family of five, along with Aunt Gao, returned to the Luo family home before lunch.
As soon as the car came to a stop, the three little ones, who had been holding back their excitement for a while, cheered and jumped out. But the moment their feet touched the ground, their grandparents, who had been looking out for a while, and even Grandpa Cheng, who had come all the way over, gave them a tight hug.
The Luo family home was suddenly bustling with activity. The three children ran around and played with boundless joy. For them, being at their grandparents' or maternal grandparents' house meant liberation—they could do whatever they wanted without restraint.
If their mother threatens to punish them again, a whole bunch of powerful figures will immediately jump out to back them up. Then they can act all high and mighty again.
This is one of the reasons why Li Wei gets a headache every time they come back. The three children have been pampered for a few days. Once they get back, all their bad habits resurface. They need a period of rest and adjustment to return to normal.
But unfortunately, none of them could be offended. Every single one of them had a stronger voice than the couple.
Of course, it's not without its advantages. The good thing is that the couple can finally get rid of their three little devils and have some free time together.
So after having lunch at the Luo family's house and dinner at the Li family's house, the two of them happily and refreshedly went to visit their third senior brother the next morning.
Now, the third senior brother is a man with a family. Last winter, Ji Xiaoqian gave birth to a daughter, who is not yet six months old. She is at the stage where she is cute but not naughty.
Because of her pregnancy and childbirth, Ji Xiaoqian has gained a lot of weight and her dressing style is not as refined as before. Although she doesn't look as graceful as before, she has gained a more domestic and virtuous wife and mother vibe. She also wears loose and casual clothes, probably for the convenience of taking care of her child.
Now, when she sees Li Wei, she is noticeably more affectionate and natural than before. When the two talk about their child, Ji Xiaoqian speaks eloquently and seems to be living a down-to-earth life.
Since becoming pregnant, Ji Xiaoqian has stopped working, wanting to wait until her child starts kindergarten. Currently, the person helping Ji Xiaoqian take care of the child and do housework is a woman in her fifties, whom Ji Xiaoqian says is her mother.
Li Wei greeted her politely and glanced at her briefly. Although she looked quite old, it was clear that she must have been a beauty in her youth, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to give birth to two sisters, Ji Xiaoqian and Ji Xiaoqian.
The third senior brother has done a good job in the past few years, getting promoted twice, which is quite fast.
After staying at his third senior brother's house for a while, Da Luo arranged for everyone to go to Shouchun Restaurant to find Old Yang for a meal the next day, and the two of them left.
Neither Li Wei nor Da Luo wanted to go home so early. It was a rare treat for the two of them to have some time to themselves, and there were no kids running around. Da Luo thought for a moment and said, "Where shall we go for a stroll?"
Li Wei: "I agree, but where should we go? There are too many acquaintances here, and it might accidentally turn into visiting relatives and friends again."
The man chuckled mischievously, “Let’s go to a hotel. We can close the door and not run into anyone, not even the little brats can climb in. It’ll just be the two of us. Isn’t that great?”
Li Wei punched him lightly: "Can't you think of something else? If people find out we went to a hotel after going home, you'll be infamous for life. How can you be like this?"
The woman with the big, lewd eyes said with a wronged expression, "You can't blame me for this. Tell me, these three little guys are slipperier than mice. How many times have we been having a good time when they come up and ruin things? If this continues for a few years, I'll be scared to death by them. I'll have to stop abruptly and live in constant fear. This makes me extremely susceptible to being consumed by lust. Do you really want to see me get burned?"
Li Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Don't make it sound so serious. Didn't you make thorough preparations by changing rooms and adding extra beds? Hehe." Since moving to the new house, Da Luo has racked his brains to find a solution because the children always come to squeeze into their bed. His only goal is to prevent a few spoilers from popping up when he and Li Wei are having a good time.
But it seems that each trick stopped working after two or three uses. The three little devils have an exceptionally keen sense of smell and never fall for a third time. Even with their eyes closed, they can always quickly catch the couple by their noses and ears and continue to embarrass them, while the three of them sleep soundly and happily.
So he was really wronged. In this battle of wits between father and son, he was always at a disadvantage. Moreover, Li Wei didn't cooperate with him fully. She always said, "Look how pitiful these three little ones are, unable to find their parents." Sigh, actually, he's the one who's most pitiful, unable to find a wife.
In the past two years, a certain leader has finally realized that the most terrifying enemies are those within his own ranks. He doesn't have three children; they're three little spies who have stood firmly between him and Li Wei, making him seethe with rage.
Aunt Gao had already noticed the unfriendly look in the eyes of the eldest child towards the three younger ones, and explained with a smile: "Children are all like this when they are young. They will get better when they get older or go to school, and their dependence will not be so strong. You are considered lucky. Many children are quite old and still sleep with their parents. Take it slow."
The big boss felt that he was often suffering in pain, waiting for the little brats to wake up.
One day, a certain Da suddenly had a whimsical idea and said to Li Wei, "Why don't we find a child bride for each of Roy Rollo's men, and let them sleep with their wives?"
The result was that Li Wei beat him up: "You lewd bastard, stop scheming against my son. Now you know what trouble you are? What did you care about back then? Let me tell you, if you give birth, you have to be responsible for raising him. If you raise him, you have to raise him well. If you scheme against my son again, I'll get angry with you!"
The matter of the child bride was thus put on hold.
In the end, the two neither went to the hotel nor home, but instead visited Ding Hong.
It was lunchtime, and Ding Hong was resting at home today, so he was home alone. Seeing that it was lunchtime, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant, found a private room, and chatted while eating.
Li Wei didn't know much about their work, which wasn't a big deal in itself, but when it came to Da Luo, many things seemed shrouded in mystery.
Even Ding Hong didn't inquire too deeply. After all, he was an elder, and the Ding, Li, and Luo families had been quite close over the years. So Ding Hong didn't hold back and gave Da Luo many tips on things to pay attention to in his future work, all based on his experience over the years.
Although Ding Hong did not come from a technical background, he had exceptional interpersonal skills. Otherwise, without any powerful backers or outstanding contributions, how could he have climbed to where he is today?
The business world is like a battlefield, and so is the political arena.
They ate and chatted for a long time before saying goodbye to Ding Hong. Looking at the time, they should have headed home, but since they were passing by Li Wei's aunt's house, she decided to stop by and visit her.
Aunt Zhang opened the door and said, "They've all gone to Dingding's grandma's house."
Li Wei -_-
The two had no choice but to return home, first going to Li Wei's parents' house.
Aunt Cheng Fei and her family were indeed all there, including little Princess Dingding. Dingding is now a beautiful little girl, sensible and well-behaved. Compared to her, her aunt Ding Anni is simply incomparable, like heaven and earth.
Cheng Fei whispered to Li Wei, "Ding Anni is mud, and Ding Ding is a cloud." -_-
Dingding will be starting first grade this year. He speaks and acts in a very pretentious manner, much like a little adult, which is quite amusing to everyone.
Little Rosanne especially loved playing with Tintin, while Roy and Roll, those two rascals, had long since run off to cause trouble somewhere.
Li Wei wasn't worried, as the elders were keeping a close eye on her. If she followed them, they would scold or even hit her a couple of times. At that time, the elders would look at her like an enemy, and would even dig up and expose all her embarrassing and shameful childhood stories.
Then you come to the conclusion: you're actually not as good as your three kids.
Li Wei -_-
