The next day, Ye Weiwei learned from Chen Jiali about Hou Zheng's fight with Liu Xiangqian.
Seeing Chen Jiali's excited face and flushed cheeks, she couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Xiangqian definitely needs to be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, letting him keep bouncing around like a rat dropping wouldn't be disgusting enough.
Ye Erge has been busy lately. He said he was coming to see her, but he often went out early in the morning and didn't come back until it was dark. They barely exchanged a few words all day.
Not only was Ye Weiwei speechless, but even Xiao Xingxing had something to say.
Although he had many friends to play with in the village, his second uncle was different, and he wanted to spend more time with him.
Especially when his friends in the village found out that he had a second uncle who was serving in the army, they admired him immensely. Every time he went out to play recently, many of his friends would ask about his second uncle.
"Second Uncle, do you think Heidanzi's third aunt is better, or Gousheng's eldest sister? Why don't you choose one to be my aunt?"
Ye Weiwei almost choked while eating an egg, but fortunately Huo Xiao noticed in time and fed her some millet porridge so she could catch her breath.
Ye Huaijin's face darkened.
This brat has been brainwashed by someone these past few days; he keeps nagging me about getting married.
"Kids should act like kids. If you keep worrying about adult things all the time, you might not grow tall!"
Little Star pouted, even her favorite egg yolk didn't taste good anymore.
Ye Weiwei rubbed his little head, "Little Star, tell your aunt, why did you have your second uncle choose someone to be your aunt?"
She knew that some shrewd young women in the village had been eyeing her second brother lately, but she couldn't be bothered to pay attention. After all, given the outstanding looks of her three older brothers, such things had never been uncommon.
There's nothing wrong with a young girl having romantic feelings, but if she sets her sights on a child, then she can't tolerate it.
Little Star was downcast: "If my second uncle marries a woman from the village, then he can stay here, and we can stay together forever."
Ye Weiwei: ……
Ye Huaijin: ...
They've overcomplicated people's thoughts; children's world and thinking are just that simple and pure.
Ye Huaijin knew that he had neglected his nephew too much these past few days, and feeling guilty, he hugged him tightly.
“Even if my second uncle really marries someone from the village, he won’t stay here. He has more important things to do.”
Little Star's eyes dimmed, but quickly brightened again as she looked at Ye Huaijin: "Is Second Uncle going to fight bad guys and become a great hero?"
Ye Huaijin smiled and pinched his little nose, "Yes, fight bad guys and be a great hero."
Little Star's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at Ye Huaijin with admiration. "Second Uncle, you're so amazing! When I grow up, I want to be like you, fight bad guys, and become a great hero."
Huo Xiao spoke up quietly from the side: "Hmm, you said that to me before. Now that you have your second uncle, you've thrown me over the wall."
Little Star rolled her big eyes and fed Huo Xiao the egg white he had peeled off, saying, "Uncle, eat this."
Huo Xiao was suddenly fed a mouthful of food. While eating, he said, "You little rascal, you even know how to stuff something in my mouth. Don't think I don't know this is something you don't like to eat."
Ye Huaijin chuckled: "Even food can't shut you up!"
Even his own uncle doesn't get this kind of treatment!
Since Xiaoxing came to Daqingshan Village, she has become much more lively and healthy, even looking healthier and rosier than when she was at home.
What he's worried about now is that his sister and brother-in-law spoil him too much and have pampered him.
It seems he'll have to give this brat a good lesson in morality before he leaves.
In the following days, Ye Huaijin rarely went out. He only went out once and came back with a lot of cotton and defective fabric. After that, he didn't go out again and spent every day with Xiaoxing.
They also worked with Huo Xiao to develop a training and development plan for Xiao Xingxing.
In the morning, the two of them would take Xiaoxing out for a run to warm up. After they came back, they would have Xiaoxing practice horse stance for a while or teach him some simple moves.
After breakfast, a literacy class was arranged, with the same learning tasks. Although it seemed no different from when Huo Xiao taught him before, Ye Huaijin came from a family of educators, and the learning plan he made was more detailed and more suitable for Xiao Xingxing.
Ye Weiwei asked her mother-in-law, Liu Guilan, to help make seven sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and also made a pair of cotton-padded shoes for each person according to their size.
After getting everything ready and disguising herself, Ye Weiwei asked her second brother and Huo Xiao to deliver the clothes and shoes first.
After the two returned from their trip that evening, Huo Xiao gave Ye Weiwei a stack of house and land deeds.
Ye Weiwei took it and was stunned.
"Old Master Du said that he had nothing to give us, so these house deeds and land deeds are a token of his gratitude."
Huo Xiao was speechless.
He never expected that when he went to deliver something, he would be given these things in return.
He didn't do these things because he wanted to steal their information.
Ye Huaijin also found it amusing: "That Du Zhenguo family used to be one of the most prominent financial families in Beijing. I heard that when his family was raided, countless gold and silver treasures were found, and the house deeds and land deeds were packed in boxes. I never expected that this old man would end up here, still holding so much in his hands."
This family is incredibly wealthy.
However, when he thought of Du Zhenguo saying he would use these house deeds and land deeds to exchange for some meat, he couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Weiwei was speechless.
Use these to exchange for meat?
She casually flipped through the stack of house deeds and land deeds; just that three-courtyard siheyuan in the capital alone would be enough for him to have an endless supply of meat for the rest of his life.
Although these property deeds and land deeds are now essentially worthless, they can be recovered in a few years when policies improve.
Moreover, the value of these things becomes increasingly immeasurable as time goes on.
Ye Weiwei took Du Zhenguo's words as a joke, and she put these things and the red jade thumb ring away for safekeeping for the time being.
But she also had to arrange for the meat that Du Zhenguo mentioned.
Although it is winter now and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, making it inconvenient to go up the mountain to hunt, that only applies to ordinary people.
Apart from her youngest child, the rest of her family members are all extraordinary individuals.
The three of them secretly went up the mountain one afternoon when no one was around, and returned as dusk fell, bringing back three roe deer and two litters of rabbits.
One of the roe deer was sent directly to Du Zhenguo and the others so they could handle it themselves. Ye Weiwei gave some meat and three rabbits to the old house.
Liu Guilan has been coming back these past few days to help Ye Weiwei make clothes and quilts.
Although she didn't understand why Ye Weiwei, Huo Xiao, and Ye Huaijin were taking such good care of the people in the shed, she wisely didn't ask any more questions or stop them.
Ultimately, they are all adults and know what they're doing.
