When Shen Zhihua saw his brother walking towards him, he immediately became afraid.
His eyes widened instantly and he looked at Yin Xiaoman with an incredible look, as if he couldn't believe that his mother could do such a cruel thing to him!
"It's no use looking at mother. Come here!" Dabao snorted and continued to walk towards him.
"Mom, help! I..."
Before Shen Zhihua could shout out the rest of his words, he was grabbed by Dabao.
He was so scared that he swallowed everything back into his stomach and dared not say a word.
Zhihua still wanted to struggle, but Dabao slapped him on the butt without any mercy.
With a "pop", the kid whimpered and cast a wronged glance at Yin Xiaoman. His little mouth was pouting, and it was obvious that he still wanted to ask for help.
But under Dabao's "claws", he dared not move at all.
Yin Xiaoman turned her face away, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zhihua was her first child and also the one that worried her the most.
This child made a lot of noise when he was in her belly. Everyone provided him with good food and drink, but he was still extremely weak when he was born.
He couldn't even cry, and just whimpered like a kitten.
This made the whole family heartbroken.
Everyone wanted to treat him as the apple of their eye. His brothers and sisters kept him by their hands all day long, taking turns to hold him and coax him, and they were reluctant to let him go even to the ground.
I raised him like this until he was two years old.
Oddly enough, after his second birthday, the boy's health has been getting better day by day.
Especially after his father taught him how to swim, he turned into a naughty monkey overnight and started jumping around.
He is so naughty that anyone who sees him can't help but feel itchy and always wants to slap him.
Maybe it’s because I received a lot of attention from my whole family since I was a child and grew up in an environment of love. Even though he was the one who received the most beatings in the family later on, Zhihua still had a good character.
No matter how much you beat or scold him, he will not bear a grudge. He will cry out in pain after being beaten, then he will wipe his face and turn around to smile at you.
He makes people so angry that they are half dead, but there is nothing they can do about it.
And if you lose control and give him a good face, the little brat will take advantage of the situation and come over to you to get close to you.
Seeing that he was about to start humming again, Yin Xiaoman turned his face to the outside of the yard and didn't even look at him.
When he turned around, he saw Chen Mingshi standing at the door and looking inside.
"Mingshi, why are you here at this time? Come in quickly. Have you eaten?" She waved outside.
"Not yet, we'll eat later. Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?" Chen Mingshi saw Yin Xiaoman sitting on the rattan chair, and hurried over to ask worriedly.
Chen Mingshi and Chen Mingli, brother and sister, were born in the same year as Erniu and are now eleven years old.
Both of them have made great progress in the past few years.
Especially Mingshi, who is only slightly shorter than Dabao and looks like an adult.
Looking at his nervous expression, Yin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Auntie is fine, just tired. Take a rest."
Hearing her say this, Chen Mingshi grinned.
He pointed at Shen Zhihua, who was being pressed by his brother beside the wooden basin and having his clothes stripped, and laughed.
He said bluntly, "Aunt, is it Zhihua who has pissed you off again? Haha, don't be angry, my brother Dabao will take care of him."
After hearing what he said, Zhihua howled even louder.
Xiao Shiyan stood beside his two brothers, looking at them with an embarrassment on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know who to help and was extremely worried.
Yin Xiaoman ignored them and glared at Chen Mingshi with a smile: "Okay, stop gloating here. Isn't it time for Dabao to deal with you? Tell me, what are you doing here?"
It's dinner time now, this guy must be here for something.
"Brother Dabao asked me to come. Just now at the stream, he said he wanted to teach Zhihua a lesson, and asked me to call Mingli to come over and deliver the meal."
Yin Xiaoman: “…”
So the eldest son is planning to teach that guy a lesson today?
She couldn't help but take another look at her second son, who had been stripped by his brother and was left with only his shorts, now completely naked.
"Mingli, didn't we agree that you two could come together? Why are you the only one here?" At this time, Erniu also stood up from the rattan chair and asked in confusion.
"She? She came with me? She's gone again? Really!"
Only then did Chen Mingshi realize that there was no one next to him again.
He glanced in the direction of the door, then ran out as if he was used to it, muttering something.
Soon, his complaining voice was heard at the door.
"I can't see you anymore and you're squatting here again. Didn't we agree to deliver the food first? We'll figure it out after you get home. Hurry up!"
As he spoke, Yin Xiaoman saw him walking in with his sister.
Chen Mingli has grown up now.
Maybe it’s because he suffered a loss when he was a child, this child has never gained weight.
She is about the same height as Erniu, but when standing next to her, she looks dark and thin, with yellow hair. No matter how you look at her, she looks like a yellow-haired girl.
After Chen Mingli entered the yard, he walked up to Yin Xiaoman as usual and bowed slightly to her.
Without waiting for her to greet him, he stood up straight, smiled at her, and called out, "Auntie."
The voice was still the same as before, kitten-like and soft.
Yin Xiaoman was also speechless at the girl's habit that remained the same for several years.
I didn't bother to say anything to her, and waved my hand helplessly: "Okay, go quickly, Erniu is waiting for you in the house."
After saying that, she shouted to her daughter in the kitchen: "Give Mingli a handful of fruit candy, she loves it."
"I know." Erniu responded loudly from inside, her voice full of joy.
Soon, the sound of two little girls chatting and laughing could be heard from inside.
This meal was delivered by Erniu and the Chen brothers and sisters.
Dabao grabbed his second and third brother, and took them with basins, buckets and soap, and went to the stream to watch them wash all the clothes that were covered in mud.
The second brother was punished, and the third brother... was just a little follower.
After all the children left, Yin Xiaoman's heartbeat slowed down a little. She stood up again and went to the kitchen.
The meals for the experts have been delivered, but the meals for my family have not been prepared yet.
She felt a little uncomfortable today, so she stopped making trouble.
After taking a look at the kitchen, Yin Xiaoman saw a few tomatoes and a handful of long beans. He prepared to cook some noodles and make some noodles with gravy to satisfy the whole family.
First, fill half a pot with water and put it on the fire. Then wash the long beans, put them in and blanch them, then take them out, soak them in cold water and cut them into small pieces.
Then he took out three eggs from the cupboard and fried them with tomatoes and beans to make a broth for the noodles.
In order to make it taste better, she took advantage of the fact that no one was at home and scooped a large spoonful of lard from the space and put it in.
Although it is just a simple stew, the taste is still fragrant.
Wash the pot, put water back in and put it on the fire. Yin Xiaoman opened the cupboard and took out the dry noodles that had been rolled out and dried and placed in it for later use.
What he saw was that the lid of the jar containing the fruit candy was only closed on one side, which was obviously the result of Erniu being in a panic and not paying attention.
The environment on the island is particularly suitable for the life of various insects. Apart from anything else, if you don’t cover the food jars for a while, the surrounding areas will be crawling with ants in no time.
Not to mention it's a sugar jar.
“How rough!”
She grumbled as she reached out to take out the jar, only to find that the candies inside were barely touched.
Because she doesn't want the two little ones to eat too much sugar, she doesn't make too much of the fruit juice candy each time. After making them, she will count how many pieces are in the jar. She has a clear idea of how many are there.
Looking at the current number, needless to say, Mingli and Mingshi each took only one piece.
Looking at the sugar jar, Yin Xiaoman couldn't help but recall the past that should have been forgotten long ago.
Back then, Qi Feng and Shen Qingyun went to talk to Zhang Xiaozhi together. As expected, she cried and made a fuss, saying that the people in the camp and the expert group were in cahoots and bullied a weak woman like her.
She was crying so hard that people who didn't know the inside story would feel that she had suffered a great injustice if they heard it.
It’s a pity that Zhang Xiaozhi’s cleverness backfired because she was too greedy.
She wanted to catch Mr. Chen, but at the same time she didn't want to let go of the money he gave her.
Where in the world is sugarcane sweet at both ends?
If she said that she had never charged for cooking for the two children, and that she cooked in Engineer Chen's dormitory, then Engineer Chen might really have a hard time explaining himself this time.
But she accepted it anyway, and she accepted a lot, far more than the value of those meals.
So Qi Feng said: "It is natural for comrades to help each other. Look, Master Chen is busy, helping other people's children to cook a meal, and then he turns around and asks Engineer Chen for money. What are you doing? Are you going to take the capitalist road under the noses of our battalion leaders?"
Zhang Xiaozhi was immediately frightened out of his wits.
She wanted to die and refused to admit it.
But this island is different from other places.
Not to mention hiding the money, she can't even spend it!
She knew better than anyone that as long as the battalion commander or the instructor wanted to check, they could just ask someone to search her and the money would be found immediately.
Her monthly salary is a fixed amount, and even if she doesn't eat or drink, she can't explain where the extra few dozen dollars comes from.
Therefore, with Shen Qingyun and Qi Feng's combined threats and intimidation, it took almost no effort for the woman to agree to leave the island and accept the group's arrangements.
As for what Lupin will ask her to do next, that is not something the people on the island are concerned about.
As expected, Master Chen had no idea about this matter before.
It was only after Qi Feng and the others had finished handling the matter that he learned the whole story from others.
He suddenly became furious.
Not only did he beat up the two kids, he also ran to the dormitory and beat up Engineer Chen as well.
That was not all. He also brought the siblings Mingshi and Mingli to find Shen Qingyun's house, and called Qi Feng and his wife over as well.
He dictated the statement on the spot in front of the two families and asked Qi Feng to write a letter of guarantee.
Listed above are at least twenty things that the Mingshi and Mingli siblings should not do in the future.
Not only that, the old man also specifically instructed to leave a blank page and stared at Qi Feng and wrote down a few big words to be added.
He asked the two siblings to make a promise in front of many witnesses that they would never do the bad things listed above again. If they did, he would personally send both of them back to their grandmother's house without any hesitation.
Master Chen said: "Everyone in our Chen family is a well-known man who can stand tall and proud. I was a militia company commander in the past, and I fought against bandits and the Japanese!
Your father was certainly not dedicated enough in raising you, but his heart was not distracted and he was completely focused on his work!
He is also a person who has made contributions to the country! And your mother has worked hard for the country!
But what about you two?
What are you doing? One is a thief, the other is a petty thief. Tell me for yourselves, how are they similar to the people from my Chen family? !
Either change completely from today on, or get out! We in the Chen family don’t want descendants like this! ”
Everyone present was shocked by the old man’s domineering declaration.
Although everyone knew that he said these words just to scare the two kids, there was no way he really didn't want them.
But even so, these words made everyone's heart beat fast and their hearts were pounding.
The adults were so shocked, let alone two five or six-year-old kids?
Mingshi and Mingli were so shocked by what their grandfather said that they didn't even dare to cry and just did whatever he told them to do.
They wrote their names on the paper with trembling hands, and imitated their grandfather, using borrowed red ink to press their fingerprints.
No matter how crooked and ugly the handwriting was, the two children believed from the bottom of their hearts that if they dared to make the mistake, their grandfather would keep his word.
They will never be able to stay on the island again, and no one will care even if they die outside.
From then on, there were no more well-behaved children on the island than these two.
That’s not all. This time, Master Chen has made up his mind to take care of both his son and grandson.
On the same day, he directly asked the highest-ranking cadres in the two camps present to move back with his children to live with his son.
In his words: "I was wrong before. I always thought that out of sight, out of mind, but now it seems that this is not the way to go. He is a brainless person. If he doesn't pay attention, he won't know when he is being cheated to death.
I've also figured it out. This is how his life will be. Now that he has children, he should stop harming other lesbians. Just let him go with his work.
I moved there with Mingshi Mingli and looked after his house. I want to see who else dares to come up with this plan, so let her get past me first! ”
Now that the old man has said so, what else can others say? Since they were close, Qi Feng personally went to call Li Hai and Qiao Mai over.
Without waiting for the old man to say a second word, as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them readily accepted his request to exchange houses.
You know, because of the special circumstances, Master Chen lived alone with his two children. The camp took good care of him and allocated a small suite for him.
Although it was just a small one-bedroom apartment, it was much better than living in a small single room with Mr. Chen.
Qiao Mai and the other two are not stupid, how could they not agree?
