"It hurts when mom spanks me." Fu Mingxi acknowledged it deeply, and then said coquettishly, "Dad, next time mom spanks me and my brother, can you let mom be gentler?"
"Okay." Fu Qingshan nodded, then shouted towards the kitchen, "Wife, my daughter asked you to hit her and her brother more gently next time."
Fu Mingxi's eyes widened and she reached out to cover Fu Qingshan's mouth, but Fu Qingshan turned away so quickly that she couldn't cover his mouth in time before he finished speaking.
Fu Mingxi was so angry that he kicked his legs and tried to get off the ground, "Dad is bad! Brother, we don't want Dad to be good! Let's go find Mom!"
It took Fu Mingjing only two seconds to switch from hope in his eyes to anger. After landing, the brother and sister stomped their feet hard at Fu Qingshan and cursed in unison, "Bad Dad." Then they ran into the house hand in hand, calling for their mother.
Even in the yard, Fu Qingshan could hear the two children standing at the kitchen door praising their mother as the best mother in the world.
Two sycophants.
Fu Qingshan thought to himself, I really don’t know who he looks like.
Qiao Xinyi came back with a few children, and the Fu family became lively in the evening.
Some came to play with the Fu family children, some came to chat with Qiao Xinyi, some came to find Fu Bailu, but no one came to find Fu Qingshan.
There were only women in the family, so Fu Qingshan found an excuse to go there.
"Accountant Du is here too?" Fu Bailu was a little surprised to see Accountant Du coming with the child.
When Accountant Du was pregnant, she said she had a feeling she would have a daughter. Surprisingly, she gave birth to a son.
But because of the pension issue of Captain Cheng, the Cheng family resented Accountant Du, so even though Accountant Du gave birth to a son, Mother Cheng never came to the provincial capital to see her grandson once.
However, Accountant Du's mother came all the way to the provincial capital to help with the confinement and to take care of the baby. When the baby was over a week old and could walk, Accountant Du sent him to school, and Accountant Du's mother returned to her hometown.
Although Accountant Du's food and lodging were provided for a month and he also gave her five yuan, her brother and sister-in-law were not willing to let her come, but Accountant Du's mother did work hard to help her daughter with the confinement and childcare.
As a result, this child became Accountant Du's backbone. Over the years, many people who wanted to introduce him to potential partners were rejected by Accountant Du.
Just like what she had said to Qiao Xinyi at the beginning, she had no plans to remarry in this life, and it was enough for her to just take care of her children.
Although Qiao Xinyi has been in Beijing these years, the two have been in correspondence and can be considered friends.
"Yeah, I heard that Xinyi came back with the child, so I came over to join in the fun." Accountant Du's unit and dormitory are not far from the military family compound, and there are buses passing by, so it is convenient to come and go.
"Hurry up and sit down." Fu Bailu clapped her hands towards the child in Accountant Du's arms, "Cheng Jiawei, my friend, will your mother-in-law hold you?"
The child was shy and quiet, so he turned his head and threw himself into his mother's arms. Listening to the big brother's laughter, he secretly looked at Fu Bailu.
Knowing that Qiao Baili was going to get married, everyone naturally talked more about Qiao Baili and Tang Yuanchao.
Qiao Xinyi didn't stay in the staff dormitory for a long time during the past few years of school. Many people came and went in the staff dormitory, and Qiao Xinyi was not very familiar with them. She only knew about her family from a few sisters-in-law who had a good relationship with her.
"Your sister is the one who has a clear mind." Sister Yang said, "When we girls get married, even if we don't want to marry someone who is rich, we must at least marry someone of equal status."
Tang Yuanchao often came to the Fu family, sometimes staying for two days, so the people in the family compound were familiar with Qiao Baili's partner and knew Tang Yuanchao's background.
In the eyes of Mrs. Yang and others, Tang Yuanchao and Qiao Baili are a perfect match.
Tang Yuanchao has a good family background, but Qiao Baili has such a sister and brother-in-law as her backing. She herself is a college student and can make a lot of money. She is also very outstanding, and the two are a good match.
There must be a reason why Sister Yang could express such emotion.
"Didn't the daughter of Captain Sun of the Second Regiment graduate from junior college last year? She also found a boyfriend."
"She found her boyfriend secretly. She graduated from a junior college, and after graduation, they went to work together."
"Before the Chinese New Year, the child told her family that she was dating someone, and her boyfriend's family wanted to come to our house during the Chinese New Year to discuss the two of them getting married." Sister Yang said, shrugging her hands. "That made Sister Sun very angry at the time."
"That child's girlfriend has never been to the Sun family before? And she didn't let Captain Sun and his wife meet her first?" Fu Bailu asked.
"No one thinks this is ridiculous. Zhang Xiao said he would come to propose marriage." Sister Yang shook her head. "Don't talk about this. Besides, the man's family is from the countryside. He used to rely on his family to support his schooling. Now he stays in the provincial capital and has a girlfriend in the provincial capital. His parents and brothers and sisters-in-law said they also want to come to the provincial capital to enjoy the good life."
"When they were young and had just joined the company, even if they wanted to get married, the company might not be able to provide them with a house. Their family was quite interested, so they asked Sister Sun if she could buy a house in the provincial capital for her daughter as a dowry."
Even though Qiao Xinyi was well-informed, she was still stunned.
Fu Bailu was even more amused when she heard this. "Did Captain Sun and his wife ask other daughters-in-law in their family if they had a dowry house?"
"My family said that they had inquired and heard that girls in the city are more delicate than girls in the country. I heard that there are girls in the city who get married with houses.
It is said that both Captain Su and Mrs. Sun are salaried and have two children to support, so they must have enough money to buy a house. "Mrs. Yang also found it absurd when she heard what Mrs. Sun said.
"My boyfriend's brother and sister-in-law came to the provincial capital for two days and even found out the price of the house here. They said it was only a few thousand yuan."
Mrs. Lu continued, "My family also said that if they were reluctant to give their daughter a house as a dowry, they would lend money to their daughter and son-in-law to buy the house. They said that their daughter and son-in-law both have jobs, and they will slowly pay the money back in the future."
Accountant Du said, "This family is so calculating. They must have been calculating in their previous life. How much do they plan to give as a dowry to marry a girl from the provincial capital who has a house?"
"My family said that they have inquired around and that girls in big cities don't want a dowry. My family is marrying off their daughter, not selling her. They just gave five yuan as a formality, and the bride will take the dowry and the betrothal money back to her husband's family when she gets married." Sister Yang responded.
Qiao Xinyi was not actually very curious about the process, she was just curious about the result.
"What happened in the end? Didn't Captain Sun and Sister-in-law Sun drive the family away?" Qiao Xinyi knew without asking much that the process was probably a chaotic one.
"Captain Sun and his wife would definitely not agree to marry their daughter to such a wicked family, but the daughter seemed to have taken the magic potion of that family and was determined to marry.
She said that her husband's family worked together to support his studies, and that his husband was pregnant, so it was his duty to help the family. She felt that her husband was filial, had a conscience, and was someone worthy of entrusting her life to. ”
"Captain Sun and his wife disagreed, but the girl said something about freedom of marriage and no one can stop it. Anyway, what she said was very chilling to her parents.
The daughter has to go to work, and as her parents they can't keep her at home. She is grown up and is determined to marry into the old family. Captain Sun and his wife can't stop her, so they can only tell their daughter that if she insists on getting married, she should not recognize her parents and should never come back to this home again. ”
