Chapter 387 It was the same time last year

Wang Xiao is almost four years old. We have always invested a lot in his education, so the child is very eloquent.

But if I want to take this kid with me, a normal crossing would be quite noticeable. People going north are all doing business, so who would take such a young child? Then I can only sneak him across the border. After thinking about it, forget it.

He had to travel north secretly, and if he had a child with him, he would go crazy.

Wang Yuanchao quickly shook this thought out of his mind.

……

When he arrived in Guangzhou, he naturally met Zheng Juan first. In the second half of last year, he was studying outside and traveled to the United States more often, so he came to Guangzhou less often.

So Zheng Juan couldn't control herself and threw herself into Wang Yuanchao's arms.

"Brother Yuan Chao, I'm 18!"

Ok?
Wang Yuanchao realized what she meant.

“How’s your Cantonese learning going?”

Zheng Juan nodded and said:
"Many of the customers here speak Cantonese, and my colleagues often speak Cantonese, too. You've taught me everything, and I'm learning very quickly."

The two chatted in Cantonese for a while, and it was indeed quite good. Wang Yuanchao said:

"When I come back from the capital, you will come with me to Hong Kong."

Zheng Juan felt very happy after hearing this. Suddenly, she remembered something and after hesitating, she said with difficulty:
"Then I'm leaving. Who will take care of my elder brother, second brother and younger sister? Who will help you pass on the message?"

Wang Yuanchao chuckled. Is that all?
Now they can all travel freely to Guangzhou, and Zheng Juan’s role as a transit station is no longer very important.

So he said:
"My company comes to Guangzhou regularly every year. My eldest brother and his friends know the time and they will make the arrangements themselves.

Just come with me peacefully.

By then, your brother and his friends can go to Bao'an Hall to learn Chinese medicine, and your mother can stay at home to enjoy her retirement and help take care of you guys!"

Zheng Juan thought of another question:
"Who will buy your train ticket to the north when I'm gone?"

Well, that is indeed a problem.

Zheng Juan works in the guesthouse at the train station. For Wang Yuanchao, she has a good relationship with her colleagues at the ticket office, which makes it very convenient for her to get tickets. What if she is gone?

Wang Yuanchao smiled and stroked the girl's thick black braid, saying:

"Without Butcher Zheng, will I have to eat hairy pigs? It's just a small train ticket. Don't worry, Bao'an Hall has been contacting here for many years. Can't they get a train ticket?"

Yes, Bao An Tang can even bring Chinese medicine to Hong Kong, let alone train tickets.

After figuring this out, Zheng Juan smiled sweetly and even pecked Wang Yuanchao boldly.

……

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang
The Wang family huddled together again.

Wang Sheng signaled his younger sister Wang Li to stand at the door and stand guard to see if anyone approached.

Wang Li glanced at his elder brother, grabbed a handful of melon seeds in annoyance, and leaned against the window beside the gate. It was pitch black outside except for the faint light from the Yan family.

Wang Sheng then said:
"Yuan Chao said he would take the train tonight and arrive at noon the day after tomorrow.

We will go to the small courtyard to get together as we did last year, and as for the children, we will send the older ones to the countryside to play for a few days."

The ones who should be sent to the countryside are naturally Dagouzi and Tiedan. They are about 4 years old and can talkative, so they can't be allowed to talk nonsense.

Look, Huang Ting came here after get off work and took the child back, while Qin Jingru brought her eldest son to accompany her younger brother. When Wang Yuanchao came back last year, she was pregnant. In the middle of the year, she gave birth to a big fat boy, which made Wang Heping very proud. They had two sons, while the eldest brother only had a son and a daughter, although the eldest sister-in-law's belly was big again.

The two sisters-in-law took turns getting pregnant, as if they had agreed on it, making Miao Cui both miserable and happy.

Wang Heping smiled and said:
"This kid, I knew he would definitely come back this year."

Miao Cui said:
"Lower your voice! Are you afraid that others won't hear you? Send the children to the countryside tomorrow, and bring your dad back with you."

Wang Heping nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I, your son, will handle the matter properly."

Miao Cui said nervously again:

"Did he say how many days he would stay this time?"

She often thought about her youngest son before he came back, but this time he came back, it was like an underground war, which made her nervous.

Wang Shengdao:
"No, it probably won't be long. What else are you worried about, Old Third?"

Miao Cui glanced at her eldest son and said:

"There are so many cases of boats capsizing in the gutter. How can you not be careful when facing such a life-threatening situation?"

Seeing his elder brother also being scolded, Wang Heping felt much better. Mom is still fair, eh.

Wang Sheng nodded repeatedly to admit his mistake and said:

"Then let's split up and buy some food? We need to replenish his food and clothing expenses, right?"

Miao Cui glanced at her little daughter standing by the window and said:

"Doesn't your sister live there often? Can't she replenish what she needs?"

Wang Li almost choked on the melon seeds. He was standing guard here, and he was still scolded by his mother? This was really...

But it is really bad to think that my mother has retired and has to take care of a bunch of children at home. Even she would rather stay in my third brother's small courtyard and live alone, and does not want to come back and be disturbed by her nephews and nieces.

So I understand my mother's temper of scolding whoever she sees. It's all because of the environment. "Well, I'll make up for it. I'll make up for it. The group just gave me a new task. I said I'll go out to collect folk songs. I'll do it tomorrow. Don't worry about it."

Wang Shengdao:
"Okay, I've told you everything. I'll go back and eat first."

He just patted his butt and left.

Wouldn't his mother-in-law help take care of the baby? Now, his sister-in-law also gave birth to a daughter, and his brother-in-law, Zheng Guoqiang, moved to the Huang family's courtyard house. The Zheng family was unwilling to help take care of their granddaughter, so in the end, they had to ask his mother-in-law to help.

Wang Sheng left, and Wang Heping quickly wiped his hands and said:

"I'll go to the kitchen to see how the steamed buns are doing!"

Wang Li saw that his two brothers had escaped, so he returned to his mother and changed the subject, saying:

"Mom, tell me, with so many wives, how many babies will Third Brother have?"

Miao Cui snorted twice in annoyance and didn't want to talk anymore.

Wang Li laughed dryly twice:

"Mom, let me massage your shoulders!"

……

When Yu Li got home from get off work, Xiao Cao came running over:
"Mom, hug me!"

Now that Xiaocao is over two years old, he has grown taller. Yu Li knows that it is all thanks to the milk powder.

She picked up the child and said to the three aunts:
"Mom, isn't Jie Cheng back yet?"

The three aunts said:

"He said he was going to help Jie Di find a job."

There are four brothers and sisters in the Yan family. Except for the eldest who has a job, the second and third brothers have gone to the countryside, leaving only Yan Jiedi. After all, sending a little girl to the countryside is equivalent to strategically abandoning this girl.

Yu Li didn't say anything.

I glanced at the door opposite. Not only was it closed, but it was also dark, and it was noisy as usual. So I asked casually:

"No one is home across the street? That's rare."

The three aunts sneered:
"He left at noon! He might have gone out to hide somewhere to improve his food."

The Wang family across the street were all workers and cadres, they had money and money, they lived a good life, and they could even support their relatives in the countryside. The third uncle and his wife were so jealous. But they could only be jealous.

One time, Wang Heping said he wanted to go to his eldest brother Wang Sheng's house to improve his food. He spoke a little loudly, so the third uncle heard it, and then everyone spread the news.

In the quadrangle, the Jia family lives in the middle courtyard. The Wang family doesn’t dare to eat delicious food.

As a result, those who live next door to them can no longer take advantage.

Otherwise, the child would run over and always get a bite. The little girl from Old Wang's family still had some conscience, and every time she saw Xiaocao running over, she would give him some food. If the child got some, it was also the Yan family that took advantage, right?

So the third aunt especially likes to let Xiaocao play with Lao Wang’s kids, since they all live in the same front yard.

It’s all because of the Jia family that forced the Wang family into this state.

It was what he deserved. Jia Zhang loved her eldest grandson, but Banggeng graduated from junior high school last year (69) and stayed at home for a year. This autumn (70), he was dragged to the countryside by the community. Only a bunch of women were left at home, not even a male.

[The mainland hasn’t celebrated the Spring Festival yet, so even though it’s already 71, people still say this year or last year]

But thinking about this, the third aunt looked at her granddaughter, then looked at Yu Li's belly, and complained slightly:

"Look at the two daughters-in-law across from me, the eldest and second daughters-in-law, both of them have never rested their stomachs.

Xiaocao is already two years old, when will you give birth to another child?"

While there are many children in the Wang family across the street, if you have a child now, you can bring him over to chat with him and get some food, right?

When Yu Li heard what her mother-in-law said, she immediately thought of Wang Yuanchao at this time last year, at this season.

Before she had time to sort out her thoughts carefully, she was interrupted by her mother-in-law's next words.

what?
Another one?
She glanced at the much stronger grass. If it weren't for the secret help from Old Wang's family, wouldn't it have become as thin as a little mouse?

There is only Xiaocao, and he is already so stingy. How can another one suffer?
Besides, I am still a temporary worker. I don’t get paid for giving birth at home. What should I eat and drink?
My mother-in-law really doesn't feel any pain in her waist even when she's talking while standing.

Not to mention, her husband's hasty treatment made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Originally, she thought that doing that was just uncomfortable, so she just endured it. But during those few times with Wang Yuanchao, she realized that it was so comfortable that her soul almost left her body.

It was at this time that she began to understand what those so-called adulterers and adulteresses were trying to achieve.

So she said nothing, went straight to the pot in the kitchen, took out the dinner for her and Xiaocao, and went back to the back room.

Seeing her daughter-in-law like this, the third aunt thought that Yu Li was complaining about them not dividing the family and asking them to hand over their wages, so she protested silently. She went back to her room and said to the third uncle:

"It's time to eat! Yu Li has already gone back to her room with her dinner, and you're still here messing around with your broken radio."

The third uncle was in the house, and he heard everything that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were saying. He adjusted the legs of his glasses, hummed softly, and said:
"I just wanted to split up the family, and I didn't say we couldn't do it.

Who will help take care of the children after they are divided? "

The eldest daughter-in-law's weakness is in their hands.

The third aunt glanced in the direction of the back house, and then went to Yan Jiedi's room to call her for dinner.
