"We can't let Little Goose bully other children anymore. That's bullying the weak and taking advantage of the strong. Dad won't be able to protect you next time."
Lu Yang returned from a walk with his daughter, who was followed by a string of little ones. He tried his best to persuade her, as they had been terrified of being complained about by other parents these past few days.
All the children wanted to raise a gosling, and if they weren't allowed to, they would throw tantrums at home.
Even if they get a beating from their parents, they'll still want more after a few days, which is incredibly annoying for everyone.
Lu Yang was also helpless. His colleagues implied that his little goose was so enviable that everyone wanted to raise it.
Ultimately, it was An'an who used the goose to show off, which made the other children envious.
Lu Yang only needed to ask around a little to find out that his daughter was using the goslings to scare people.
This little gosling is exceptionally obedient to An'an. Now it's getting bigger and bigger, flapping its wings and calling as it rushes over. Which child wouldn't be scared?
These past few days, the alleyways have been filled with the shrill cries of children. They cry and make a fuss if they aren't given goslings, and some even refuse to eat.
Enraged, Song Qing locked up the little goose and gave An'an a beating with bamboo stir-fried meat.
These children don't actually want to raise goslings; they're clearly envious of An'an for having such an obedient helper, and they also want a gosling to bully others.
"They're older than me, so if they fight with me, isn't that the older one bullying the younger one? Dad, why don't you talk to them?"
The harmonious father-daughter atmosphere was broken by An'an turning her head away. She wiggled her hips and ran outside angrily. Lu Yang sighed and went back inside to cook.
He's been explaining all sorts of reasons to his daughter these past few days, and she finally agreed to stop letting the goose peck at people.
But whenever she takes the gosling out, the other children get scared, so she can't really keep the gosling locked up at home all the time.
Where is your sister-in-law?
The vegetable garden in the yard had just been cleaned up, and the soil was still damp. Lu Ronghui was picking vegetables, and she was lost in her own thoughts when she saw her brother come in and give him a few subtle glances.
"My sister-in-law went to talk to Sister Yuehong."
"Then I'll cook, you go stay outside."
Lu Yang didn't realize anything was wrong at first. He had just finished washing the pot and was about to start cooking when he noticed that Lu Ronghui was still standing there, and her eyes were looking a little strange.
"What's wrong?"
"fine."
There was meat at the vegetable market today, and Song Qing thought that Lu Ronghui would be taking her exams soon, so she decided to give her some extra nutrition and bought a piece of pork.
"Tonight we'll have steamed eggs and stir-fried pork twice."
They don't have enough egg coupons every month. With so many people in their family, the egg coupons, which amount to a little over a pound each month, only last for a few days.
Fortunately, they were near Yanghe Village, and Lu Ronghui secretly traded eggs with the villagers, and sometimes she could even get some wild game to eat.
"My family called today."
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he carefully glanced at his sister's face and found that she seemed to be in a daze and had not listened to what he said.
Her parents had long neglected her younger sister and favored outsiders. She had been working in the countryside for several months, and her family had not sent her a single letter or package. Not only Lu Ronghui, but Lu Yang was also very upset.
Now that something has happened at home, he understands his sister's situation. If his sister doesn't want to hear about family matters, he immediately shuts up.
"What's wrong?"
“Dad is still at home. The Bai family’s situation has escalated and has been taken over by a top-secret unit. He can’t get any information right now.”
He received a call from home right after he got off work, at the gatehouse. Lu Weiguo's work had been taken over by someone else, and he was having a very hard time at home. He hesitated for a long time before calling his son.
The Bai family's affairs are now being taken over by higher authorities, and his work has been taken over by others. As for Lin Shuyue, needless to say, her deputy has already started taking over her work.
The couple's careers suffered setbacks, and their home felt desolate. After much thought, they finally went to talk to their son.
Lu Yang knew this situation was unavoidable. Others were subjected to public shaming, parading through the streets, or being sent to the countryside. His family had been lucky enough, so he could only comfort his father.
Lu Ronghui was still lost in thought, clutching the vegetable leaves in her hand, and didn't seem to care much about Lu Weiguo and his wife's affairs.
To avoid arousing his brother's suspicion, he could only reply, "What else did he say?"
"Are you asking us if we're going home for Chinese New Year?"
Lu Yang didn't know if he would have any leave during the Spring Festival. He had already taken a lot of leave this year, so he probably wouldn't be able to go home.
Lu Ronghui didn't want to go back. She hadn't spent the New Year in Xin'an for many years, and she didn't want to go back at all.
"I don't want to go back."
Lu Yang quickly changed the subject. He could tell that his sister wasn't enthusiastic about going home for the New Year, and even seemed reluctant.
The brother and sister chatted for a while longer, but Lu Yang noticed that his sister was not very interested and seemed hesitant to speak.
“You need to talk to your brother about something, don’t keep it to yourself.”
