The next morning, Sister-in-law Gao knew what was going on as soon as she saw the mat hanging in the corridor.
He jokingly teased Little Rice Cake, "Did you wet the bed last night?"
Little Rice Cake was shocked: "How did Auntie know?"
“Your older brother and sister also wet the bed when they were little, so I have experience with it,” Sister-in-law Gao explained.
Little Rice Cake felt like she'd found a companion; at least she wasn't the only one wetting the bed: "Do my older brother and sister wet the bed too?"
"Yes, when they were your age, they couldn't control themselves either and wet the bed at night. They'll get better as they grow up. Don't drink too much water before bed, and get up by yourself when you need to pee at night."
Little Rice Cake learned: "Thank you, Auntie. I will never wet the bed again, and I will never eat watermelon at night."
"Mom said it was because I ate too much watermelon that I wet the bed. I didn't do it on purpose. I'm not a bad child!" Little Rice Cake was afraid that others would think she was a bad child.
Sister-in-law Gao smiled and patted her head: "Yes, Nian Gao is the cutest. She's not a bad child. Go play with your older brothers and sisters!"
Little Niangao, no longer gloomy from bedwetting, happily went to find the four Gao children and proudly announced that she, like them, had wet the bed.
Little Rice Cake, who used to feel embarrassed and ashamed, now knows that all children wet the bed. Not only does she not feel ashamed, but she also tells her friends about it as a very proud thing.
Before long, everyone in the compound knew that Little Rice Cake had wet the bed.
If these were other parents, they would have already started criticizing them, but Little Rice Cake still has the nerve to tell others.
Someone asked curiously, "Did you get beaten up?"
Little Rice Cake shook her head: "My parents are not the kind of parents who like to hit their children. Children should be influenced with love, not solved with violence. My mother said that hitting children is bad."
“My mother also said, ‘It is the father’s fault if the son is not taught. What’s so great about hitting a child? If you’re so great, hit the father.’”
The sisters-in-law asked curiously, "Did your mother dare to hit your father?"
Little Rice Cake nodded: "Yes, I dare. Whenever my dad does something wrong, my mom will beat him."
"What could your father possibly do wrong?" the sisters-in-law gossiped.
You know, even though He Tingchuan is such a good husband, he still makes mistakes sometimes.
Yun Jin, don't go too far!
God knows how many people envy her for marrying a good man; she shouldn't be ungrateful.
"Yes, my dad has done a lot of wrong things. My mom's feet hurt, so she asked my dad to massage them, but he cut off her toenails instead, which made my mom so angry that she hit him."
The sisters-in-law: "......"
"And another thing, Mom asked Dad to clean my ears, and Dad grabbed Mom and cleaned her ears too, even though Mom didn't want her ears cleaned."
The sisters-in-law: "???"
“Last night we ate watermelon. Mom said she didn’t want any more, but Dad insisted on giving her the tip of the watermelon, saying it was very sweet. My mom was afraid of gaining weight after eating it, so she scolded my dad, saying he was a stumbling block on her weight loss journey.”
"!!!"
The women who had just witnessed the public display of affection regretted their actions; they shouldn't have made such a fool of themselves.
This isn't a family conflict; they're clearly just flirting.
Little Rice Cake asked, "Isn't my mom being a bit mean? She always bullies my dad, but he's always so cheerful. I don't know what he's thinking. Anyway, my mom never bullies me!"
"You're too young to understand. Your mother made the right choice in marrying into the right family!" the sisters-in-law said sourly.
Little Rice Cake didn't quite understand, but judging from their tone, it probably wasn't anything bad.
After Yun Jin and the others finished getting ready, the four of them, along with Gao's sister-in-law's children, went out together.
The women asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's take Grandma Nian Gao and the others to the river to fish and play!" Yun Jin also prepared some food and drinks, so they could eat and play at the same time, treating it as a camping trip.
He Tingchuan had all the items, while Yun Jin followed leisurely, carrying a parasol and a fan.
The sisters-in-law envied He Tingchuan for always accompanying Yun Jin no matter what she wanted to do.
These days, when women want to work overtime at night, the men aren't too willing, either because they're too tired or too sleepy.
Look at Yun Jin, her complexion is rosy and she looks very energetic, it seems the man must have put in a lot of effort last night.
You can't think about it; the more you think about it, the more you want to beat up your own man.
Yun Jin was unaware of the lewd thoughts in the minds of these women. They went to the guesthouse, picked up Mr. and Mrs. He and He Zizhen, and went fishing by the river together. Grandpa He loved fishing.
He Tingchuan and the other boys went fishing, while Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao and the others to swim in the ditch. She bought a lot of swimsuits, and Gao Min and the others also prepared some.
There's also He Zizhen's.
Mother He doesn't go into the water.
Wearing a one-piece swimsuit and an inflatable swim ring, Yun Jin swam and played in the clear ditch with the children, having a great time.
He Tingchuan heard his wife's laughter and kept looking over.
Seeing that the fish he had hooked was about to escape, Mr. He coughed lightly and said, "Just focus on fishing. Don't be distracted. Do you think your wife will run away?"
He Tingchuan felt embarrassed for a moment, then looked away and rebaited his fishing gear.
After Yun Jin and the others had finished playing in the water and changed into clean clothes, they came back. Yun Jin leaned on He Tingchuan's back and looked at his catch: "How come there's only this little bit of fish? The grilled fish for tonight is probably going to be gone."
He Tingchuan, being hugged by his wife, smiled and said, "Now that you're here, the fish can't escape. You'll see."
Yun Jin wanted to see, so she pulled up a small stool and sat next to He Tingchuan. He Tingchuan didn't disappoint her; sure enough, not long after, the fish took the bait, a good number of them, big and small, enough for grilled fish tonight.
Mr. He caught quite a lot of fish, which greatly boosted the emotional connection between He Zizhen and Xiao Niangao, who declared that Mr. He was the best fisherman.
Mr. He was amused and decided to come fishing again tomorrow. Since the children like grilled fish, he would grill it for them.
Dad can't eat the grilled fish, but he can drink the fish soup!
Mrs. He makes a delicious tofu and fish soup, which Mr. He loves.
In the afternoon, Yun Jin made an appointment with Yuan Qing to go check out the new shopping mall. He Tingchuan stayed home to take care of the children, and Yun Jin took the bus alone, which made her reluctant to go out.
He Tingchuan felt sorry for his wife, so he borrowed a jeep to take her there, not wanting Yun Jin to suffer even a little bit.
With his concern, Yun Jin wouldn't force herself to suffer. She took He Tingchuan and Xiao Niangao with her, then went to the shop to pick up Yuan Qing. The four of them went over there to take a look.
Upon arriving at the location, Yun Jin looked at the commercial street that was almost completed and knew that this was a new urban area. For the next twenty years or so, this area would be very lively, but it would decline later.
Having enjoyed over twenty years of prosperity, Yun Jin saw potential in this place and, after discussing it with Yuan Qing, decided to open a branch here.
Without further ado, the next day Liu Sanchen contacted the developer, and Yun Jin got the clothing store in the second location at the entrance. Two other good locations were taken by the gold shop.
Yun Jin happened to be at the residence, so she could oversee the renovation and make changes according to her wishes, so the overall style of the renovation would remain largely unchanged.
The clothes in the store are all very similar.
Yun Jin called the wholesaler and started preparing to stock up on autumn clothes.
