Chapter 594: Being Discovered for Listening to Gossip (Edited)
After Wen Shuanghua retired, she devoted all her attention to her three grandsons and taking care of her young daughter-in-law.
With her around, Yu Wanqing doesn't have to worry about anything. She just needs to eat well and rest well.
The confinement period was over in the blink of an eye. They did not hold a big banquet, but just invited some close relatives and friends to have a meal.
Yu Wanqing was talking to Shen Tian and the others with her three children. Wu Peiyi suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, why don't you see the eldest brother?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wanqing remembered that she had met Huo Lanci this morning. Now more than two hours had passed, and she still hadn't seen him.
"I didn't notice it. Maybe he was out doing something."
This is not right, Aci would tell himself every time he went out.
Thinking of this, she put the matter to heart and planned to ask her grandfather or mother-in-law if they had seen him.
"Luo Hui said that the boss is on vacation today." Wu Peiyi said with a smile: "I wonder if the boss is going to prepare a surprise for you to celebrate your confinement."
"I heard from Luo Hui and the others that when you went to the countryside, your eldest brother was more romantic than other male educated youth."
Shen Tian smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Qingshan also said that he said that the boss relied on his good looks to attract sister-in-law and made her obsessed with him, and finally you two became his targets."
"Qingshan said that they were injured at the time and their sister-in-law came to their rescue. They then discussed giving the eldest son to their sister-in-law as a gift to show their gratitude."
When Wen Shuanghua came out and heard these words, she sat down next to Shen Tian and whispered, "Anything else?"
"Tell me more. I also want to hear what they have to say to each other."
Shen Tian was frightened by Comrade Wen Shuanghua's behavior. She realized that she was really curious about the past of the boss and his sister-in-law. Suddenly, she regretted having said too much.
She glanced at her sister-in-law cautiously, and met her smiling eyes.
At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind: Damn it, my sister-in-law seemed angry.
She thought secretly in her heart: Qingshan, I'm sorry, you have to bear the anger of your sister-in-law.
They all knew that if someone provoked her sister-in-law, she would not attack women, but would directly beat the men in her family.
It is called normal training.
Yu Wanqing said, "Yes, I also want to know how they discuss the things that Aci and I have to say in private."
"Speak up, I want to know, too."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Tian and Wu Peiyi with a smile: "Can't you listen to it yourself and not tell us?"
Wen Shuanghua nodded: "That's right."
Shen Tian and Wu Peiyi looked at each other. They had never met such a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before.
One wants to hear gossip about his son and daughter-in-law, and the other wants to hear gossip about himself.
Shen Tian thought, since half of the story has already been said and it is a foregone conclusion that Qingshan will strengthen his training, then just go ahead. A little training should not be a big deal for Qingshan.
Probably not!
As Shen Tian thought about it, she lost confidence.
Never mind, I’ve already said half of what I want to say. I have to say it.
Then she and Wu Peiyi told Yu Wanqing and Wen Shuanghua, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all the gossip they had heard.
Wen Shuanghua came here with the intention of listening to gossip, and when she heard the interesting parts, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After listening, she looked at Yu Wanqing: "Xiao Wu, you are so naive that you actually believed what Huo Lanci said."
Yu Wanqing was about to say something when she heard Huo Lanci's voice coming from outside the door: "Mom, you are really a good mother to me. You are always thinking about laughing at me."
Upon hearing this, Wen Shuanghua, Yu Wanqing and others looked outside the door and saw Yu Zhian and Li Xiulan standing behind Huo Lanci.
Yu Wanqing stood up suddenly: "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked forward and hugged her mother, then smiled and hugged her old father: "I thought you didn't have a vacation and wouldn't come."
Yu Zhian smiled and looked at her daughter who was already a mother: "Today is the full moon of our three grandchildren. We will definitely come."
"We want to see our three children, and we also want to see you in person, otherwise we will miss you very much."
Li Xiulan nodded: "We all know that the Huo family treats you like a baby, but as a parent, we still worry about our own child."
After hearing this, Wen Shuanghua laughed and walked over to Li Xiulan: "Xiulan is right. As parents, we cannot be false in our concern for our children."
"You two, hurry into the house and take a look at your grandchildren. They are so cute." Wen Shuanghua took Li Xiulan to the cribs of her grandchildren and said, "Xiaowu is really great."
Li Xiulan and Yu Zhian looked at their white, tender, adorable grandson lying on the crib and really wanted to hug him right away. However, they had just gotten off the train and felt dirty, so they couldn't just hug the child.
Yu Zhian looked carefully and said, "Qingyun looks like Xiaowu, and Xuyang and Ningning look like Aci."
Although still young, one can already see some signs of his facial shape and features.
Wen Shuanghua smiled and nodded: "I couldn't see it when I came back from my business trip, but in the past few days, they seem to have grown up all of a sudden."
"At the time, the literati joked that one child looked like the mother and two looked like the father, so the mother was at a disadvantage."
Everyone laughed after hearing this. Huo Lanci nodded and said, "Actually, what Big Brother said is right. It was Xiaowu who was pregnant for ten months and it was Xiaowu who gave birth to the child. Now it is me who is reaping the benefits. She is indeed a bit at a disadvantage."
"You know how to think. Be good to your wife in the future and don't let her down." Wen Shuanghua said softly, "From pregnancy to childbirth, Xiaowu has really paid too much."
Although Xiaowu didn't say anything, they couldn't take it for granted.
How can there be so many things that are taken for granted in this world?
The child takes the father's surname after birth, and the father did not suffer any hardship to get three children. The person who should least take it for granted is the child's father.
Huo Lanci pulled Yu Wanqing's hand and said with a smile: "Even if you don't remind me, I will be nice to Xiaowu."
Li Xiulan and Yu Zhian went to the guest room to change their clothes and wash their hands before picking up their three children.
It was almost time for lunch, so Wu Peiyi pulled Shen Tian to the kitchen to help.
Fortunately, the Huo family’s kitchen is relatively large, so several people can move around inside to help cook.
Li Xiulan looked at Ningning's cute face, patted her daughter's hand, and said a lot of things without saying anything.
Also in Li Xiulan's distressed eyes.
"I heard from your aunt that you will be rejoining the army in a few days."
Yu Wanqing nodded: "The team is very busy now, I want to go back and help."
She needs to go back and prepare a new team, a new elite team led by her.
Although she didn't know what task she would complete next, she understood that it would be difficult since she needed to form a team of so many people.
Even, it’s dangerous.
She has come this far and there is no turning back. She can only keep going. As long as her teammates become stronger, their chances of survival will increase no matter what mission they encounter.
When she first came into this world, she thought about living in the countryside for a few years, returning to the city in the 1980s, buying some land, building a few houses, and becoming a landlady in the future.
If she had a few houses in a good location and collected rent, she could have lived a life of idleness and waited for death.
Now, she has taken a completely different path, but no matter what, she has no regrets.
Now that you have made the choice, you must do your best, try your best, and strive to leave a mark in history.
Li Xiulan understood her daughter's actions and said slowly, "There are always too many things in this world that cannot be helped, especially the path you and Aci have chosen."
"Fortunately, you met a good sister-in-law. Even if your mother-in-law steps down to help you take care of the children, she has no other ideas." She just saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family busying around helping to entertain the guests.
Joy that comes from the heart cannot be faked.
"Your mother-in-law is also considerate and caring about you. She will help take care of the children. Your eldest aunt and Comrade Zhuang are also serious and meticulous people. Even if you are away for training or on a mission, you don't have anything to worry about."
Li Xiulan looked at the little guy in her arms and said, "Your eldest and second sisters-in-law told me to quit my job and come here if you can't find someone you trust to take care of your children."
"Don't be like this." Yu Wanqing looked at Li Xiulan: "I know you and your elder and second sisters-in-law love me and will never say anything, but it really hasn't come to this."
"Besides, I can't take the kindness of my eldest and second sisters-in-law for granted. You are good to me, so I need to consider you too."
There are grandchildren at home, but they come to help their daughter take care of the children. If this gets out, people will wonder how they will talk about their parents.
Li Xiulan smiled and looked at her daughter: "So, I didn't listen to them."
"Your eldest sister-in-law watched you grow up, and your second sister-in-law and you were sent to the countryside together as educated youth. You both have a deep relationship, but you will have your third and fourth sisters-in-law in the future. I can't guarantee that there won't be any trouble in the future."
"So, no matter how much I love you, for the sake of the harmony between you two siblings, I can only keep some of my love in my heart." She smiled and said, "Your father said that if we can't help physically, then we can give money."
They did the same with Qingmei. Since she couldn't go to Nanfu to help take care of the child, they just paid for it.
The same is true for my youngest daughter now, and will be true for my other two daughters-in-law in the future.
Of course, if they gave birth in Shangyang and stayed at home to recuperate after the baby was born, she would definitely take good care of them.
Yu Wanqing smiled and hugged her mother: "I understand, I understand everything, Mom and Dad, you have done a good job."
Not to mention helping her, in fact my parents can rarely help my sister-in-law take care of the children because they both have to go to work.
Most of the time, it was the Zhang family who lent a hand, and everyone worked together to take care of the three nephews.
At the end of last year, Brother Chunlei was already married. After he had a child, my sister-in-law's little girl was a little older and could be sent to the red education class.
"My eldest and second sisters-in-law are also good daughters-in-law who know how to care for their parents-in-law. My third and fourth brothers are so picky, so the daughters-in-law they choose in the future will definitely not be bad."
Speaking of the third brother, Li Xiulan couldn't help but ask, "Why don't I see your third brother?"
"Third brother said he would come today, but he might be a little late." Yu Wanqing was also a little curious. Why did third brother, who always had a good sense of time, not come today so late?
Li Xiulan snorted softly: "Your father and I have already arrived in Beijing from Shangyang. He is working in Beijing, so it's not time yet."
Without me watching over him, the third child would have completely let himself go.
Thinking of this, Li Xiulan secretly wondered how to give the third brother a beating.
Others may not know, but my wife and I know clearly that the third child looks like a salted fish, not fighting or competing, because he has no choice.
The current environment is destined to prevent him from realizing his ideals.
She was afraid that the third brother would do something secretly and get something on the black market. If he was caught, things would be troublesome.
After hearing this, Yu Wanqing whispered, "I suspect that Third Brother has gone to pick up Cuiwen."
Li Xiulan's eyes lit up: "Your third brother has come to his senses?"
"I'm not sure whether she has opened her eyes or not. I just know that Cuiwen works very well in the factory. She is sweet-talking and cheerful, so many people like her and want to introduce her to someone."
Yu Wanqing leaned over to her mother and whispered, "I see that Aunt Zhuang is a little moved."
"I told my third brother about this when he came to visit the children a few days ago."
She thought at the time that if the third brother had an idea, she should seize it.
If she has no idea, she also hopes Cuiwen can find a good partner.
"You did the right thing. Tell him what happened. If he really wants to, he can pursue the girl himself." Li Xiulan said with a smile, "We'll see if he comes alone or with Comrade Cuiwen."
He hoped it was the latter. If they came together, it would prove that Cuiwen might have some feelings for the bad boy at home.
If this is true, things will be easy.
The mother and daughter talked in the room for a while, and then Ningning started crying and asked for food.
As soon as she started crying, the two brothers who were hugging her outside also started crying.
Yu Wanqing and Aunt Zhuang could only quickly make milk for the child to drink.
Li Xiulan saw that all three children were drinking milk and asked quietly, "Are they not breastfeeding?"
Yu Wanqing said: "Not enough, not enough to feed a child."
She found it very strange. Even though she had the healing ability to repair her body, she had very little breast milk after giving birth to a child?
It's simply outrageous.
Li Xiulan was silent for a moment: "That's fine. You have to go back for training. If you have too much breast milk, it will definitely cause you a lot of trouble."
She had experienced this kind of helplessness before.
It’s really nice that my daughter doesn’t have to worry about her clothes getting wet like she did before.
After the three children had eaten, their third uncle finally showed up pushing a bicycle.
Li Xiulan heard the noise and looked outside the door, only to see her son and Zhuang Cuiwen walking in one after the other.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and both saw the word "promising" in each other's eyes.
Yu Jiali came in carrying two bags. He was not surprised to see his parents here. "Oh, I didn't expect that Comrade Lao Yu and Comrade Li Xiulan were here earlier than me."
Yu Zhian wanted to say: Why don’t you wait until we finish our meal before coming over?
When he saw the young comrade behind him, he smiled and said, "We took the bus at five in the morning."
Considering that you brought a lesbian here, please don't say such harsh words.
Otherwise, if they were scared away, I guess the third child would cry with me.
