First update
"Another way?"
The sharp shouts of the men and girls in the yard made the birds scream and flee, not daring to offend these little devils. The leader was a round-headed boy with a gray whistle in his mouth. He was Wang Chunhua's son Qiang Hu. He blew the whistle in a random and short manner, which irritated Chen Baozhen's fragile nerves.
She wanted to swing a cello at the child at that moment.
What the hell is this?
"Teacher Chen, smile! Teacher Chen, smile!"
The children smiled, revealing their big front teeth, many of which were missing teeth. They looked funny, yet innocent enough to annoy the adults.
They were ignorant and fearless, and had no hatred. They just thought the song composed by Qiang Hu was interesting, and they clapped and shouted along.
If they accidentally anger adults, they will not only not feel scared, but also have a sense of superiority in challenging authority.
There are many children who grew up in various compounds. In the past, they had acted wildly on the heads of generals and had urinated under the tables in large conference rooms. Because they were young, the adults did not care, so they were naturally exempt from all privileges.
Qin Yao asked Chen Baozhen to calm down, and went into the house to get a handful of candies. She put on a friendly smile and called the children into the yard.
One, two, three, four, five, six... Qin Yao counted carefully and found that there were actually more than ten. People at that time were really fertile.
Qin Yao handed them a candy one by one and said in a friendly voice, "Thank you for your efforts in bringing laughter and happiness to Teacher Chen. This is the candy Teacher Chen gave you."
Not to mention the children were confused, even Chen Baozhen was a little confused.
Several children, including Qiang Hu, looked at each other with candies in their hands. Some of them couldn't wait to put them in their mouths. They didn't think carefully about the logic behind the adults' words.
Say they worked hard to bring laughter and joy...that's it.
Qin Yao continued, "Here are some candies. If you continue to work hard to bring laughter and happiness to Teacher Chen, I will give you another candy. For example, if you sing or dance, show off your talents in front of Teacher Chen."
Chen Baozhen then cooperated and said, "Yes, yes, you have worked hard to show your talents in front of the teacher. Thank you for your efforts to make the teacher happy."
Chen Baozhen didn't have any other thoughts. It was better to let these kids perform their talents than to make noise. Now they were standing in a row, it was much quieter than before.
After receiving the candy and with the support of adults, a boy with a strong desire to perform jumped out and did somersaults. Qin Yao took the lead in applauding him and gave him a lot of flattery.
"The little guy can really do somersaults, could he be the Monkey King Sun Wukong?"
The girl was not to be outdone, and jumped out to sing in a childish voice. Chen Baozhen ran back home and got out a musical instrument, and while she played it, the little girl sang.
"The sun sets in the west and the clouds are rising..."
In the end, a group of people played the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken". Chen Baozhen was still childish at heart, and she was having a great time playing with her bestie and a dozen other kids.
The children's shouts and noises became less shrill, and the sunset in the distance turned into a cloyingly sweet syrup.
"Teacher Chen, you sing so well."
"Sister Qin has a nice voice and wears beautiful clothes. Sister Qin is so white, as white as toothpaste."
"Sister, you are so white."
…
Qin Yao was surrounded by a bunch of children and felt happy. Children are innocent. There is no good, evil, or hatred in their eyes. The likes and dislikes in their hearts are extremely pure, and the flattery they say is so sincere and touching.
There are too few entertainment activities these days. Playing with children until you sweat will make you feel relaxed and happy.
Gu Cheng walked out of the kitchen, took off his apron, stood at the door, and looked at the warm and lively scene not far away with gentle eyes.
Qin Yao was chatting and laughing with the children around her. Her face was covered with a layer of golden gauze, like a hazy oil painting. She was standing in the middle of the round sun, and the picture was beautiful.
Under the golden glow of the setting sun, the moon that arrived early hung on the branches, but no one noticed it until the golden crow completely sank.
Qiang Hu found it particularly boring to play among a group of people. His friends around him were all eager to please Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen. The happy smile on Chen Baozhen's face made him doubt himself.
Is he here to bring laughter to Teacher Chen?
No way!
While hesitating, Qiang Hu saw Gu Cheng standing at the door. His tail immediately tightened and he dared not say anything more.
Gu Cheng turned around and went back to the kitchen. He smelled the smell of smoke in the room and thought of the scene just now. He felt calm and satisfied in his heart.
Gao Jianguo was sharpening a pair of scissors, and the pair of scissors in his hand was rusty.
Gu Cheng asked him, "Lao Gao, how many children do you plan to have?"
Gao Jianguo was stunned. He was a little bit unbelievable. Gu Cheng actually asked him this question, which made him a little embarrassed. "One, two, I guess. I can't have a child just because I want one."
He has been married to Chen Baozhen for some time, but the couple has not yet had a child. They plan to wait another year or two until Baozhen gets used to life here before considering having a child.
"I want three." Gu Cheng said lightly.
Gao Jianguo almost choked on his own saliva. He really wanted to say: Captain Gu, you’re not even married yet, and you want three?
"She likes children." Gu Cheng's eyes were gentle and he judged with great certainty.
Gao Jianguo: "Then give birth to five children so that your family can form a basketball team."
Gu Cheng: “…Too many.”
"More is better, it's more lively."
"No." Gu Cheng said firmly: "Three will be enough, one who looks like me, one who looks like her, and one who looks half like me and half like her."
Gao Jianguo: “…” You’re dreaming. There’s no such great thing waiting for you.
The parents of the children outside called them home for dinner. The children left one after another, with sweat on their faces and candies in their mouths, thinking: It’s fun, but it’s too tiring.
"Qiang Hu, will you come and bring laughter to Teacher Chen tomorrow?"
"Teacher Chen smiled happily today and gave us two candies."
Qiang Hu: “…”
Qiang Hu himself doesn't know either.
Qin Yao and Chen Baozhen simply tidied up the yard. Chen Baozhen raised her hand and rubbed her face. The evening breeze blew on her face. She felt that her face was about to freeze from smiling. She was sweating all over, but she didn't feel heavy at all. She just felt happy and relaxed.
The kids are noisy, but they are so cute!
Chen Baozhen asked Qin Yao: "Yaoyao, should I go buy more candies? I'll let them bring me joy next time."
Sugar is precious, but a small piece of fruit candy is not worth anything to Chen Baozhen, and compared with the money Wang Chunhua returned, it is even a drop in the bucket.
As the saying goes, money can’t buy happiness.
The money is back, and I only have to spend a few dollars on candy, and it’s cheap fruit candy.
Qin Yao said, "You don't have to buy so much. Next time you come, you can give one candy to each person. After the third time, you won't give any candy."
"Ah!" Chen Baozhen's eyes widened: "If I don't give them candy, what if they don't come?"
Qin Yao laughed: "That's just right."
Chen Baozhen laughed out loud: "Yaoyao, you have so many ideas in your head. You have become so smart."
Qin Yao smiled and said, "Be thick-skinned. If they are willing to continue to make you happy without giving you candy, that's a good thing."
"Haha." Chen Baozhen put her hands on her hips and said with certainty, "Yes, they are here to make me happy!"
Even if it isn't, it has to be!
The men in the room cooked the food and set the table. Gao Jianguo served Chen Baozhen a bowl of chicken soup, and Gu Cheng also served Qin Yao a bowl of chicken soup. The four of them ate under the lamp.
Gu Cheng's cooking skills were neither delicious nor bad, because Gao Jianguo's cooking skills were usually just like that. Chen Baozhen was surprised to find that Gu Cheng could even peel crabs and shrimps for Qin Yao.
His fingers are long, with distinct joints, and are extremely flexible. Whether he is peeling crabs or shrimps, his movements are graceful and beautiful, like a pair of artist's hands.
Chen Baozhen has been learning musical instruments since she was a child. Her hands are very outstanding, but compared with Gu Cheng's hands, they are nothing.
Chen Baozhen's mind immediately changed, and she praised: "Yaoyao, Captain Gu's craftsmanship is really good, and his hands are beautiful. If you have children in the future, let them learn musical instruments from me."
Qin Yao blushed: "You're thinking too far ahead."
"Not far." Gu Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Chen Baozhen's words touched his heart. The more he looked at Chen Baozhen, the more he liked her.
Gao Jianguo felt something was not good when he saw this scene. He felt that Gu Cheng's current state was very abnormal, just like the experience he had experienced before, when he fell into the trap of a woman when she was passionately in love.
When he first got together with Chen Baozhen, he was also so intoxicated by imagining an elegant and artistic married life in the future.
However, what he got after marriage was a shattered reality, a messy yard and a messy home, and the boring pauses and repetitions when Chen Baozhen practiced the piano.
Bring a few kids to his house to practice piano?
That scene is too dangerous.
Gao Jianguo was sweating profusely: "Eat, don't talk so much about the future."
Thinking about his future married life and children, Gu Cheng relaxed a lot. When he spoke, his handsome face subconsciously smiled: "Yaoyao, eat more."
Qin Yao looked up and met his smile, and was stunned for a moment. Gu Cheng seldom smiled like this in front of outsiders. His eyebrows were curved and his eye bags were gentle, as if a pot of intoxicating wine was brewing in his eyes.
Chen Baozhen noticed the smile on Gu Cheng's face. She was stunned for a moment, and asked Gao Jianguo in a low voice with some confusion: "How old is Captain Gu this year? Is he only 25? He is only five or six years older than Yaoyao, which is suitable."
"Lao Gao, how many years older are you than him?"
After hearing this, Gao Jianguo almost put down his chopsticks and was so angry that he couldn't eat his meal.
He is about to vomit blood.
How many years older... How many years older... How many years older...
*
After Wang Chunhua was forced to return the money, she was so angry that she lay in bed for several days. However, she had no choice but to let her children go to Chen Baozhen to complain.
Her money, her money! ! !
"Qianghu, you went out again today and took people to Teacher Chen's house to 'play'." Wang Chunhua gloated. Letting the children go to Chen Baozhen's house to sing folk songs and throw mud in her yard was a good idea she came up with to annoy Chen Baozhen.
Children speak without restraint. No matter what children do, it is only children who do it and adults cannot be blamed.
"Mom." Qiang Hu felt tired and bored. He scratched his head: "Why do you insist that I go to Teacher Chen's house to bring her laughter and happiness?"
He felt like a monkey performing tricks, so tired and hard-working.
Wang Chunhua was stunned: "Who asked you to bring her happiness?"
"But she was smiling so happily! The kids were playing with her." Qiang Hu felt aggrieved.
"Mom, how about I call everyone to our house to bring you laughter and happiness?" Qiang Hu said with an idea.
"I asked them to make up a song for you, too. 'Spring flowers, spring flowers, no worries even if it rains, others have umbrellas, but I will bloom.'"
Wang Chunhua was almost angry to death by his words.
