Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, Sunday arrived.

Today was the day to go home and handle the ancestral grave.

Du Xiaojuan suddenly told Wang Dashan that she also wanted to go back with them.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dashan couldn't help but feel surprised:

"You actually want to go back together?"

Du Xiaojuan retorted:

"How so? Not welcome?"

Wang Dashan then said:

"It seems there are rules at home; when moving the ancestral grave, women aren't allowed to go up the mountain."

Du Xiaojuan said coldly:

"Feudal superstition, favoring males over females!"

Wang Dashan was speechless:

"This is a rule left by the ancestors; what can I do about it?"

Fortunately, Du Xiaojuan wasn't a woman who nitpicked; if she nitpicked, she probably would have divorced Wang Dashan long ago.

She waved her hand lightly, with an indifferent expression:

"I just want to go back to Shanggou Village to breathe some fresh air, and by the way have a meal with your Third Brother; that's all. As for your muddleheaded old man's grave, whoever wants to go handle it can go; you couldn't even make me go handle it if you tried!"

This was her honest truth; truth be told, before she married Wang Dashan, she already had quite a few opinions about Wang Zhanggen in her heart, feeling this old thing cared too much about face and didn't know his place.

And the series of events that happened afterward further verified this view of hers.

Especially one time before, Wang Zhanggen got rumors from who knows where, saying she, Du Xiaojuan, couldn't bear children, was a hen that doesn't lay eggs, and even said these things to Du Xiaojuan's face.

Since that time, she had no shred of good impression left toward this father-in-law Wang Zhanggen; the only reason she hadn't torn face completely was to maintain decorum out of consideration for Wang Dashan's feelings.

Truth be told, if Wang Zhanggen weren't already dead, she wouldn't be willing to go back to Shanggou Village with Wang Dashan at all.

"Alright then, let's bring the kid back too; when the time comes you watch the kid, my mom cooks, and me and my Second Brother and Third Brother go up the mountain to check the grave; after checking the grave everyone eats a meal together."

Wang Dashan spoke like this.

So the whole family, after eating breakfast, set off together back to Shanggou Village.

Du Xiaojuan brought Kang Yi along too; if anything came up she could help look after things.

On the way back, Wang Dashan drove the car, Du Xiaojuan sat in the front passenger seat.

Li Xiulan, Kang Yi sat in the back row.

And the child Wang Dujin sat in the child safety seat in the back row.

Kids love to play and make a fuss; last time when going home, Kang Yi held him the whole way, and only then did he not make such a fuss.

This time Du Xiaojuan, however, said that for safety's sake, he absolutely had to sit in the safety seat.

Wang Dashan was quite speechless about this:

"Can't we just hold him? He's not used to sitting in the safety seat; he makes a huge fuss."

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"There has to be an adaptation process; anyway, in the car my son has to sit in the safety seat; this is setting rules for him, and it's for his safety! Besides, we spent over ten thousand yuan on the safety seat; if your son doesn't sit in it, is it supposed to be a decoration?"

Wang Dujin in the back seat wailed and cried; Kang Yi coaxed him but couldn't coax him well.

Wang Dashan was annoyed to no end:

"Letting him cry like this won't do either!"

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"Stop at the service area up ahead; let your mom come sit in the front passenger seat, I'll go to the back to coax the kid!"

Li Xiulan and Kang Yi sitting in the back, neither could say anything.

Because they knew Du Xiaojuan's temperament.

Wang Dashan, however, kept nagging non-stop:

"You're just making trouble out of nothing; what's wrong with holding him for a bit? Why do you have to insist on making such a fuss?"

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Haven't I told you before? It's to set rules for him, and for his safety! Wang Dashan, have you ever thought: if a car accident happens, and your son isn't in the safety seat, he'll fly out like a block of tofu; then you'll have plenty of time to regret it!"

Wang Dashan didn't want to say anything anymore.

Because he couldn't out-argue Du Xiaojuan.

Fortunately, the service area was coming up soon.

Drove the car into the service area, found a parking spot and stopped.

Du Xiaojuan immediately got out of the car, then had Li Xiulan go to the front passenger seat; she went to pick the kid up from the safety seat to coax him a bit; after soothing the kid's emotions, she put him back in the safety seat, buckled the seat belt, and then set off again.

Result: not long after setting off, Wang Dujin couldn't sit still again.

But this is normal too; kids are just hyperactive, curious about everything, especially kids who just learned to walk; forcing him to be restrained in a safety seat for such a long time is obviously quite difficult.

"I told you he can't sit still, but you just wouldn't believe me!"

Wang Dashan couldn't help but say a sentence.

Du Xiaojuan didn't pay him any mind, instead taking out toys for Wang Dujin to play with.

Wang Dujin played for a while, then felt bored again, so he started making a fuss once more.

Du Xiaojuan sang him nursery rhymes, and he quieted down for a while, but not long after, he started getting restless again.

Du Xiaojuan told him a story, and he stayed quiet for quite a while.

After much trouble over most of the journey, the little boy Wang Dujin finally got sleepy, and then fell asleep in the safety seat.

Finally, it was peaceful.

Du Xiaojuan was exhausted enough to choke.

Seeing her like this, Wang Dashan felt heartache for her, but couldn't help adding a sentence:

"Aren't you just making trouble for yourself and exhausting yourself?"

Du Xiaojuan coldly glared at him:

"Shut up! Better to exhaust yourself now than exhaust yourself forever after! Wang Dashan, I'm telling you, about the child's education, what I say counts, don't you dare give orders! Besides, I still say that sentence: set the rules early!"

Wang Dashan's mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped speaking.

What Du Xiaojuan said could be said to be very unkind to his face.

Making him lose all face in front of Li Xiulan and Kang Yi.

At this moment Li Xiulan spoke:

"Dashan, let's listen to Xiao Juan; what she says has some truth, indeed the rules should be set as early as possible."

Wang Dashan said instead:

"Mom, when you raised us three brothers back then, there weren't so many rules! You raised us three brothers free-range, and haven't we three brothers grown up just fine!"

Li Xiulan laughed hehe:

"Wasn't that because there weren't those conditions? If there were those conditions, who would want to raise free-range? To tell the truth, Xiao Hua isn't tall, very likely related to not being raised well when young; thinking about this matter, as his mother, I feel quite guilty!"

Wang Dashan muttered a sentence:

"No matter how tall, it's useless anyway; aren't you still looked down on by your wife? Third Brother having a clever head is enough!"

Du Xiaojuan was utterly speechless:

"Wang Dashan, what do you mean by this? I haven't looked down on you; it's your own self-esteem acting up, don't blame me!"

Wang Dashan laughed hehe:

"Fine fine fine, it's all my fault, okay!"

Du Xiaojuan was simply speechless to death at Wang Dashan's attitude.

She had a belly full of anger.

But she still endured it.

Wang Dashan was driving the car; the lives of everyone in the car were in his hands, so it was better not to quarrel with him.

At this time Du Xiaojuan took out her mobile phone:

"I won't talk to you anymore; I'll call your Second Brother to tell them we're almost back!"

Speaking, Du Xiaojuan dialed Wang Erhai.

Using changing the subject to eliminate the quarrel.
