After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Jia Dongsheng supported Nan Yi and was a little confused. He didn't know where Nan Yi lived.
"Ermao, do you know where Uncle Nan Yi's home is?"
"Know."
Ermao said confidently, but then his face turned bitter: "But I only know the distance from the factory to home, I don't know the distance from here to home."
While talking, Ermao was still looking back and forth on the street.
"That's okay, let's go back to the factory gate first, and then go home."
However, Nan Yi was so drunk that he had no consciousness at all and was completely dependent on Jia Dongsheng's support. Unfortunately, he didn't even encounter a tricycle on the road and could only walk with support.
By the time we arrived at the repair shop, it was almost dark.
The time it took to come back was more than twice as long as the time it took to go there.
"Uncle Dong, let's go this way."
The factory had already closed for the day, and Liang Ladi was not waiting there. Perhaps in her opinion, it was safer to leave the child to Nan Yi.
Following Ermao, supporting Nan Yi, they walked little by little. It wasn't far, just over twenty minutes, before they walked into an alley and arrived in front of a small courtyard.
"Uncle Dong, this is Uncle Nan Yi's home. My home is a little further ahead, just around the corner."
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll send your uncle Nan Yi back first, and then I'll send you home."
"Uncle Dong, no need, we can go back by ourselves."
Ermao patted his chest and said like a little adult: "I can bring my brothers and sisters home."
"I know you can, but I also want to visit your house, is that not okay?"
"Okay, Uncle Dong is welcome to visit my home."
"Haha, that's good. Wait, Ermao."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dongsheng entered the courtyard, took Nan Yi to a room, put him on the kang, took off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, and then left.
Ermao, Sanmao, and Xiu'er waited obediently outside the yard, which made Jia Dongsheng even more satisfied.
"Let's go, Uncle Dong will take you home."
As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng picked up Xiu'er and walked forward.
After walking a short distance, just a few minutes, they arrived at the gate of a large courtyard. This should be a three-courtyard compound, and there was no back house at the front door. At this time, a woman and a little boy about seven or eight years old, about the same size as a stick, were waiting at the door.
The woman was Liang Ladi, and the little boy was probably Liang Ladi’s eldest son, Liang Damao.
"Ermao, you guys are back."
Liang Ladi had been waiting for a long time. She originally thought that Ermao and the others would be back when she got home from get off work. However, when she got home, cooked and ate, Ermao and the other two children had not returned yet.
She went to Nan Yi's house again and saw that Nan Yi had not come back. If Liang Ladi didn't know Nan Yi well, she would have thought that Nan Yi and Jia Dongsheng had taken the children away and sold Ermao and the others.
Fortunately, when I was waiting anxiously, he finally came back.
"Sister Ladi, I'm sorry. Nan Yi and I had a few drinks, and we got drunk while chatting. I just sent Nan Yi back."
Jia Dongsheng noticed Liang Ladi's anxiety and couldn't help but reveal an awkward smile on his face. It was indeed a bit too much to take someone else's child away for such a long time.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm just worried they'll get you into trouble. Kids are still too naughty and ignorant."
Liang Ladi sensed Jia Dongsheng's embarrassment, so she immediately responded with a smile, then pointed at the little boy and said, "This is my eldest son, Liang Damao. Damao, come and call Dongsheng uncle."
"Hello, Uncle Dongsheng."
"Hello, too." He greeted Damao first, then exchanged pleasantries with Liang Ladi: "Sister Ladi, you've raised these children so well. They're all good kids, well-behaved and sensible. They're so adorable."
"My wife is also newly pregnant, and we don't know yet whether it will be a boy or a girl. Later, I will really have to come to you to learn from you how to raise a child."
After hearing these words, Liang Ladi was overjoyed. There was nothing she could do. Which parent doesn't like to hear others praise their children?
Liang Ladi was of course no exception. The more Jia Dongsheng praised her, the happier he was.
"Dongsheng, you're exaggerating. These kids aren't that good. Hurry, give Xiu'er to me. Your arms must be sore from holding them."
As he spoke, Liang Ladi came over to take Xiu'er, and Jia Dongsheng also handed Xiu'er over while smiling.
"Hey, Xiu'er is really well-behaved, no exaggeration at all. I can't help but think now, if my wife can give birth to such a well-behaved and sensible daughter, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams."
Hearing this, Liang Ladi couldn't help but be stunned. There was nothing she could do. In this era, people were proud of having sons. Suddenly, a man like Jia Dongsheng appeared who wanted his wife to have a daughter. In Liang Ladi's eyes, he was like a rare animal, rarely seen!
"This is the first time I've heard of your idea. What's the matter? Don't you want a son?" Liang Ladi took Xiu'er and asked with a smile.
"Hey, of course we have to have both sons and daughters, so we have to give birth to them one by one. There's no rush."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and replied that he was really not in a hurry. There were almost a whole group of women who wanted to give birth to his children. It was only a matter of time before he had both a son and a daughter.
"You have a point."
Liang Ladi smiled and said, "Dongsheng, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
When saying this, Liang Ladi was a little hesitant.
As the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow's door. It was only half an hour away from being completely dark. If she let a grown man into her house at this time, there would be no explanation if someone saw her.
So, Liang Ladi's words were purely polite, but what if Jia Dongsheng was tactless and agreed?
It was impossible to agree. Liang Ladi understood the problem, so he also understood it. So, Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "Sister Ladi, I can't stay here any longer. It's too late. I have to go home quickly. You should go in quickly. Xiu'er is so sleepy that she can hardly open her eyes."
"It's a bit late, so I won't treat you today. Next time, if you come earlier, I'll treat you to a meal."
Although she said so, Liang Ladi knew clearly in her heart that even if she invited people to dinner, she didn't have anything at home to host the banquet.
"Okay, it's settled, Sister Ladi."
"Well, thank you for treating the children to dinner today. Thank you so much."
"Hey, you're welcome. I just feel like I'm compatible with your kids. I'll come see them next time I'm here on business."
With that, Jia Dongsheng prepared to say goodbye: "That's it, Sister Ladi, I'm leaving first."
"Children, say goodbye to your Uncle Dongsheng."
Liang Ladi teaches her children.
"Goodbye, Uncle Dongsheng." It was Damao who said this.
"Goodbye, Uncle Dong."
Ermao, Sanmao and Xiu'er called each other like this, and they sounded very intimate, which made Liang Ladi couldn't help but look at her own children, and then looked at Jia Dongsheng, her eyes moving slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Haha, see you guys too."
Then Jia Dongsheng waved his hand and left.
