The conspiracy of the courtyard

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's loud voice, he felt overwhelmed, but he did not dare to ignore it.

They could only ask Chen Ping and her son, who were the only ones in the middle courtyard waiting for He Yushui to finish school, to look after Banggeng, who had just learned to walk, and then take Jia Zhang into the house to negotiate.

Chen Ping was left standing beside the stone bench, looking a little silly and cute, and said to Lu Zixuan:

"Son, are we familiar with her? Is she so confident that she can let us take care of the child? Can you do it? I can't. He is different from you. How about you tell her that you have something else to do?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it. Come on, little one, call me brother, I have some candy in my hand, try it."...

Lu Zixuan said with a big promise as he walked towards Banggeng.

"Little Gengzi, you are awesome. You even know how to lick candy wrappers. Call me brother. Remember to listen to me from now on. I will give you candies every day. Call me brother first..."

An hour later, Jia Zhang came out of the house with Qin Huairu, whose eyes were swollen.

Seeing Bang Geng chasing Lu Zixuan and calling him brother all the time, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Oh my, how come my grandson is so smart, he can even talk now, come and call grandma."

No matter how Banggeng cried and made a fuss, Jia Zhang picked up Banggeng and ran to the front yard to show off.

When Chen Ping saw Qin Huairu coming out, he quickly threw away his bag.

"Sister Qin, I'll leave the child to you. We'll go home first."

Qin Huairu thanked him repeatedly

"Thank you, Sister Chen, thank you. Um, can I talk to you for a few words?"

Chen Ping was about to leave with Lu Zixuan, but after hearing what Qin Huairu said, she couldn't just leave, so she could only follow Qin Huairu into the Jia family.

"Sister Chen, I won't be polite with you. I don't want to change my household registration. Is there any good solution?"

Qin Huairu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

Chen Ping shook his head and looked at Qin Huairu, persuading her with some sympathy:

"This is not up to you alone. If your mother-in-law insists that you change, you can ask Jia Dongxu to talk to her.

You tell Jia Dongxu that if Banggeng wants to have a bright future and go to school in the city, he must have an urban hukou, and Banggeng's hukou will follow yours.

You can let your mother-in-law keep her household registration in the countryside. Doesn't she just want to get more land and make more money? You can take your household registration book to the match factory and say that your family only has one apprentice and is in financial difficulty.

Take some manual labor and earn some money, then she won't mind so much. Give her some of the money you earn, don't give it all. You are so smart, you must know what to do.

This is all I can help you with. Try not to let her take care of the child in the future. Just look at how cowardly Jia Dongxu looks and you will know how she takes care of the child.

I'm telling you, for the sake of our being from the same hometown, they can be as close to Yi Zhonghai as they want, but you don't follow them, he's not a good guy. Remember that."

Qin Huairu nodded heavily, with tears in her eyes, and whispered:

"Sister, thank you. I know you are doing this for my own good. I have never dared to talk to you because Yi Zhonghai warned me.

Actually, it was Yi Zhonghai who instigated my mother-in-law to go to your house to ask for milk powder. Banggeng has enough milk, and he just wants to control you. Every time he talks about you, he is full of hatred.

By the way, the deaf old lady told Yi Zhonghai yesterday that an acquaintance of hers is going to be transferred to the subdistrict office, so you should pay attention to it. "

Chen Ping was stunned. She had never expected that showing kindness would bring her rewards. She was very surprised. Before leaving, she patted Qin Huairu's hand to show her gratitude.

When I got home, I didn't bother to say hello to He Yushui, and asked Lu Zixuan directly

"Son, if what Qin Huairu said is true, it will be really troublesome. We can't stop it, what should we do?"

"Does authenticity matter? There's no need to take it too seriously. Even if Yi Zhonghai has connections, so what? They've basically collapsed now. If the deaf woman feels that she's strong enough, then she can give it a try. We're not made of clay."

Lu Zixuan answered very calmly, and Chen Ping couldn't tell what his attitude was.

Because the military control committee was about to withdraw, Chen Ping was temporarily transferred to the district government. The sudden busyness left Chen Ping no time to care about the follow-up of the Jia family.

Chen Ping is in charge of the district government's safe handover, public security, defense and other procedures and files. Although she is just an office clerk, she is very busy and has no time to spare.

The secondment was finally over and I was busy with the official opening ceremony of the street office.

When all the work was done, Chen Ping found that she had put on a thick and heavy cotton coat, and the snow on the ground had already submerged her ankles.

When I looked back and saw only a lonely row of footprints, I realized that I had lost track of how long it had been since I had taken my son to work.

I hurried to the door of my house, and when I heard the graceful and melodious sound of the harmonica, a warm feeling flowed through my heart. I pushed open the door with hot tears in my eyes, and saw my son sitting by the stove with his back to the door, playing the harmonica.

Chen Ping wiped the tears from her eyes, smiled, suppressed her excitement, and asked in a trembling voice, "Son, have you eaten?"

Lu Zixuan stopped what he was doing, turned around and stood up. Seeing Chen Ping with red eyes, he nodded and said

"I've eaten. Zhuzi bought some big meat buns today. They're warming in the pot. You can help yourself. What's wrong? You look so sad. Did the new deputy director give you a hard time?"

"No, I just felt a little lonely on the way back. Just now I saw you sitting there alone, and I felt a little sad."

Chen Ping has become accustomed to answering truthfully because there is no way she can lie.

Lu Zixuan took the homemade cotton slippers and handed them to Chen Ping and said

"That's it? The rain just stopped, and she kept complaining that you were too busy to chat with her. Change your shoes first, drink some ginger soup, and then eat after the cold is driven away."

"Son, you are so considerate. I am so moved that I am about to cry. You are such a little kid and I need you to serve me every day. I am a little derelict in my duty as a mother."

As Chen Ping spoke, she felt her nose getting sore and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Forget it. You are my only mother. If I don't serve you but serve others, won't you feel bad? Don't be moved yet. Eat your meal quickly. Have a piece of candy to reduce the spicy taste.

I think there will be a meeting for the whole hospital soon. The new deputy director is having dinner at Yi Zhonghai's house, accompanied by the deaf woman. They should be here for us, so don't worry about it, just listen."

Lu Zixuan handed the crispy candy to Chen Ping and said.

Chen Ping frowned, took the candy, put it in her mouth, and smacked it vigorously. When she felt the sweetness, she breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Well, that's normal. It would be strange if Zhou didn't cause trouble. I never treated him well at the street office. His lustful eyes made me sick. Has the meeting been notified?"

"No, my little brother sent me the message and gave me a handful of candy. Jia Zhang was furious."

Lu Zixuan spoke with a gloating look.

Chen Ping suddenly laughed out loud and asked curiously

"What kind of magic potion did you feed Bang Geng? This kid is so close to you, but now when he sees Jia Zhang, he doesn't call her grandma, but just calls her Lao Zhang."
