Chapter 1070: Don't sleep until you finish writing!

"If you dare, you're no longer my son! Don't ever enter this house again!"

"I won't enter! Don't call me son anymore either! Let's treat each other as peers!"

Bang—!

A burst of commotion in the backyard, and after a while, Liu Liu Guangqi was seen walking out of the second gate angrily.

Seeing Li Li Xuewu and Seeing Sha Zhu standing at the Chuihua Gate, his footsteps slowed slightly.

But he had already walked here, so he couldn't find a corner to hide his face.

Their family didn't care about losing face anymore; the whole courtyard had heard it.

"You're back, Section Chief Li."

Liu Liu Guangqi was very polite, greeting Li Li Xuewu with an embarrassed smile.

Li Li Xuewu narrowed his left eye slightly to look at him, raised his eyebrows and asked: "What's wrong?"

"My dad, he..."

Before he could finish, hearing footsteps behind him, Liu Liu Guangqi didn't look back, knowing it was his dad following.

"Forget it, let's talk when we have time. I have something to do, you go ahead!"

After speaking, without waiting for Li Li Xuewu's reaction, he decisively headed towards the main gate.

"Don't you come back—!"

Still feeling unsatisfied, Liu Liu Haizhong saw Li Li Xuewu and the others standing at the door and felt he had lost face, chasing to this point and shouting at the gate: "This isn't your home, and I'm not your dad!"

"Yo—! Second Uncle, what are you talking about?" Seeing Sha Zhu joked: "Did you solve the case? Did you do a blood test?"

"Go away—you joke with everyone!"

Liu Liu Haizhong was now lacking confidence and had lost his previous arrogance, but he could still take a joke.

Li Li Xuewu saw him embarrassed and followed Seeing Sha Zhu's joke and asked: "Don't tell me you two broke up and are going to be buddies from now on?"

He looked at Seeing Sha Zhu and teased: "Then how should we call each other in the future? Hahahaha—"

"I don't care about that!"

Seeing Sha Zhu leaned over to Liu Liu Haizhong and put his arm around his shoulder, saying: "I can't call you Second Brother, right? Second Uncle!"

"Are you trying to address me like that?"

Liu Liu Haizhong was also amused by him, raising his fist to punch him, but was hugged by Seeing Sha Zhu.

"Go away—it's annoying enough, I'm going to be pissed off!"

"Don't, it's not a big deal."

Seeing Sha Zhu took a stool from the screen door where they often sat and handed it to him, saying: "Sit down and chat, say what's making you unhappy!"

After watching the Second Uncle sit down, he turned to Li Li Xuewu and said: "Also let us be happy, right? Hahahaha!"

"You only have this much promise—!"

Liu Liu Haizhong joked with Seeing Sha Zhu for two sentences, and the fire in his heart dissipated a lot.

If it didn't dissipate, what could he do? The three sons were one more mixed than the other. He could beat them when they were young, but now who could he control?

"If you ask me, you shouldn't bother with him at all. I'm not trying to stir things up!"

Seeing Sha Zhu handed Li Li Xuewu a stool, took one himself, and the three of them opened a dragon gate formation at the screen door this afternoon.

"Just like your great filial son, he never comes back without incense, and when he needs you, when there's good food at home, he drags his family along, Dad~ Mom~, he's really not a thing!"

"Hey—! Why say all this!"

Li Li Xuewu frowned slightly and looked at Seeing Sha Zhu, signaling to Liu Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle is uncomfortable enough, and you're still hitting him."

"What's wrong with this? Everything I said is a fact, right, Second Uncle?"

Seeing Sha Zhu spread his hands and asked Liu Liu Haizhong, saying: "We live in the front and back courtyards, even if I want to watch your fun, I can't say it like this, right?"

Liu Liu Haizhong waved his hand, not caring about his straightforwardness, nodded and sighed: "They say family ugliness shouldn't be spread, but the front and back courtyards... sigh!"

He helplessly patted his knees with both hands and said: "I'm not old yet, but his mother is inconvenient, and he's already disgusted."

"You, think openly! With him or without him, you've lived your life!"

Seeing Sha Zhu advised him: "Health is the capital of revolution until the end. You have to sit and wait for the day he regrets it!"

"Hehe—I'm angry with him?!"

Liu Liu Haizhong smiled bitterly: "I don't think it's worth it myself, it's meaningless."

"To talk about managing sons, I am the most failed in our courtyard, can't compare with your dad."

He signaled to Li Li Xuewu and said: "The same stick produces filial sons, you have three, we have three, sigh, can't compare!"

"Don't say that."

Seeing Sha Zhu knew how to comfort people. He pointed to the Yan family and reminded: "The three sons of the third grandfather are all finished. I think he is worse than you in the point of failing to teach his son."

"Hiss—!"

Li Li Xuewu clicked his tongue after hearing his words. Is this really knowing how to speak, or not knowing how to speak? Offending people in strings?

Seeing Sha Zhu didn't care about this, giggled and patted Liu Liu Haizhong on the back, saying: "I'm comforting you, don't listen wrong."

"Hmm—thank you!"

Liu Liu Haizhong smiled and patted his thigh, making Seeing Sha Zhu wince in pain.

"Taking advantage of today's free time, I want to ask you something, so that my heart can land."

He looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked seriously: "Is our factory really going to move, and is this worker new village really yellow?"

"Hi—I'm asking him too!"

Seeing Sha Zhu stuck his neck out and said: "You know his person, his mouth is the tightest."

Li Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to him, looked at Liu Liu Haizhong and asked: "Do you have something? Or..."

"Sigh... I won't hide it from you." Liu Liu Haizhong took a deep breath and explained: "What the eldest son came back to say just now is this."

"The factory's house replacement plan has stopped, the hope of living in a building is slim, and the original plan to move over to live with us and let his wife take care of his mother is gone."

Liu Liu Haizhong looked at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "I just want to know what the factory is considering, so that we can have a psychological preparation."

"Just because you can't live in a building, you don't want to support the elderly?"

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Then what Seeing Sha Zhu said just now is not wrong, Liu Liu Guangqi is really too much."

"Me, I'm not doing it for him, let alone for this anger."

Liu Liu Haizhong signaled to his home and said: "I have a house to live in, no matter what, I won't lose."

"I'm thinking, this work..."

He shook his hands and smiled bitterly: "Always have to retire gloriously, have a place to eat, you say, right?"

"Yo—chatting!"

They were talking here, the first grandfather led Banggeng in from outside, greeted them, and Banggeng also greeted them.

"You went out? Why did you bring him?"

Seeing Sha Zhu smiled and pulled Banggeng's head, teasing him.

Banggeng didn't care about this, took a stool from the screen door and wanted to sit.

But Seeing Sha Zhu was fast, grabbed it and handed it to the first grandfather, teasing Banggeng to grab his stool.

He was the only one in the courtyard willing to tease children, but it was also for fun, and he wasn't annoyed.

The first grandfather explained with a smile: "Met his mother at the factory, asked me to lead him back, and hand him over to his grandmother to watch him do homework."

This could be considered a reminder to Banggeng, and also an explanation, completing the task.

Banggeng pricked up his ears and pretended not to hear, couldn't grab Seeing Sha Zhu's board stool, so he could only move another board stool and sit beside Li Li Xuewu.

Seeing Sha Zhu teased him again and asked: "Banggeng, have you finished your homework, sitting here with us."

"Phew—homework? I won't write that broken thing, even dogs won't write!"

Bang Geng was flopping his big, fat face around like a cat; he had no sense of decorum. He wouldn't sit on the stool, insisting on squatting on top of it like a *hou* beast.

"Hmm, you're awesome, I'll definitely tell your mother this, just wait to be beaten!"

Seeing Sha Zhu was used to teasing him, teasing him since he was a child, and now he didn't have the proper form of an uncle.

The two made trouble again, and Yi Hate Yi Zhonghai sat beside Liu Liu Haizhong, watching them make trouble with a smile.

Li Li Xuewu saw Liu Liu Haizhong still looking at him eagerly, waiting for his reply.

"There is no accurate news from the factory yet, even if there is, I can't tell you. You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Then... what should I do?"

Liu Liu Haizhong was confused, spread his hands and asked: "Just keep waiting like this?"

"Actually, it won't take long."

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "You are anxious, the factory is more anxious than you."

He signaled to the Steel Rolling Mill and said: "Third industry project construction site, ecological area school construction site, hospital construction site, etc.!"

"These construction sites stopped work and production at the same time."

Li Li Xuewu looked at him and asked: "Do you know how much the loss is in one day?"

Without waiting for Liu Liu Haizhong's surprise or thinking, he nodded and said: "My meaning is, this kind of thing related to the fate of the collective will not change because of one person's will."

"This person includes me, and you, and even more the Director Li you heard about."

"I heard someone mention this."

Seeing Sha Zhu took the conversation on the side and said: "At noon the day before yesterday in the cafeteria, someone mentioned relocation, saying how much relocation money Hebei Province gave."

"Hu Nao, don't believe these words."

Li Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "At least I haven't heard of it here. If there is relocation money, it must be negotiated before it exists."

He looked at the few people and said: "Director Li and I just returned from Tianjin, and haven't seen anyone, let alone negotiations, let alone relocation money."

"Said so, with nose and eyes." Seeing Sha Zhu explained: "Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, and Hubei leaders came to ask us to move."

He was also confused when he said this, and laughed: "I'm also confused listening, how did our factory become a sweet pastry."

Seeing Sha Zhu teased: "It would be good if we really went to the south. I heard the water and soil in the south nourish people."

"Hmm, the Yuezhou office still lacks a cook, I'll arrange for you to go over later."

Li Li Xuewu teased him with a smile, then shook his head and said: "It's all groundless things, I only know what I know. Liaoning Province people came."

Looking at their three surprised expressions, he nodded and said: "Because I received them, there is indeed an intention to talk about this."

"What—! There are also Liaoning Province!"

Seeing Sha Zhu shouted in surprise: "Are we really moving to the northeast? Lao Biaozi said that side is very cold, and urine freezes!"

"You believe his words?"

Li Li Xuewu glanced at him and said: "If it were really like what he said, wouldn't northeast people stop urinating?"

"Hiss—!"

Thinking of going out to the toilet at minus thirty degrees, Seeing Sha Zhu couldn't help but shiver.

"Then who spread the matter of Hebei and Henan leaders coming to ask?"

"Don't know, I only say what I know."

Li Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "I am the most realistic person, one is one, two is two, don't say things that aren't accurate, let alone lying."

"Hmm—"

Yi Hate Yi Zhonghai and Liu Liu Haizhong believed him, nodded in agreement, but Seeing Sha Zhu looked at him suspiciously.

"Wasn't the matter of Hebei and Henan deliberately spread by you?"

At dinner time, the Daozuofang was lively.

The scene of twenty or thirty people eating together, which hadn't happened for a long time, happened again today.

The whole Li family, old and young, all came over.

Seeing Sha Zhu's family, Fei Fei Shanying living in the backyard with two children, and Wang Wang Yajuan who came to pick up her sister were also kept to eat together.

Two tables on the kang, one table on the ground, sitting full, chattering and lively.

Without old Lao Biaozi, Seeing Sha Zhu didn't drink as recklessly as before.

He couldn't drink with Shen Shen Guodong, without that fierce energy, he could only slowly sip with the second grandfather and grandfather.

Shen Shen Guodong was talking about how many people the recycling station recruited to hang on to collect scrap, while Seeing Sha Zhu commented on whose family's little someone was unreliable.

And Li Li Xuewu just listened to them arguing, thinking about who they were talking about, nothing more than the people in Jiaodaokou.

Of course, Jiaodaokou is a street, not big, but not small, with several hutongs crisscrossing.

If you mention someone suddenly, he really can't remember, and he has to mention his dad, or someone close to him.

Otherwise, you have to mention whose family's little someone, living where, and if you still can't remember, you have to mention his sister, or his younger sister.

If you really mention his sister or younger sister, or even sister-in-law, and Li Li Xuewu still can't remember, that is absolutely his problem.

It must be that his sister or sister-in-law is too shabby, and he didn't notice.

"Used to follow Ma?"

Shen Shen Guodong raised his eyebrows and reminded: "His sister is one grade higher than you, the one who married to Tianjin, came to find me the day before yesterday saying she wanted to collect scrap here, good fellow."

He pointed to his left eye and signaled: "Blinded one eye, it looks scary, and speaking is timid, not as arrogant as before."

"You agreed? How did the eye go blind?"

Li Li Xuewu remembered him, he was quite capable of fighting on this street, a ruthless person who dared to greet people with a fork on his head.

Shen Shen Guodong shook his head and said: "How could I say no, used to lend us food, quite righteous person."

"The eye was when he went out to fight with Ma Ma Liuzi, and someone used a finger tiger to stab it, said the eyeball was brought out, tsk tsk—"

He was also a sigh, feeling the king of the past, actually falling to this point today.

Li Li Xuewu frowned after hearing this news, and asked: "How is Ma Ma Liuzi? Didn't take care of him?"

"Him? Can't even take care of himself, can he take care of Sun San'er?"

Shen Shen Guodong curled his lips: "Sending Sun San to the hospital to pick up his life is not bad, usually they would have run away."

"But running away early or late is running away!"

He explained: "The Zhang Wang Jianguo mentioned last time has been very fierce lately, fighting from the south to the north, shouting to stand up."

"Ma Ma Liuzi blocked him in the Jinyu Hutong and beat him, beating him to his knees and calling him grandpa, and later he never saw his figure again."

"It's all like this, the face collapses, the person falls, if he doesn't run, he will be beaten to death sooner or later."

Seeing Sha Zhu ate peanuts, sipped a small wine and said: "Returning from the factory last time, I saw a group of kids fighting on the road."

"Good fellow, such a long machete."

He gestured and said: "I felt dizzy looking at it, those little cubs didn't take it seriously at all, swinging it and hacking at the head, wanting to take a life."

"The street didn't manage?"

Li Li Xuewu spent a lot of time working in the factory, so he really didn't pay attention to things on the street.

Especially the stubborn masters and Buddhas, as well as those little cubs, are all old rats in the sewer, who would care about them.

When he asked this sentence, he also glanced at Ji Ji Yuxiu on the kang table.

Ji Ji Yuxiu also heard the discussion here and took the initiative to explain: "The bureau is also studying how to crack down on this situation, it is estimated that there will be practical actions next week."

"I'm not trying to put eye drops on you!"

Shen Shen Guodong's face was a bit red from drinking, and he waved his hand at Ji Ji Yuxiu embarrassedly, explaining: "We were just talking about it."

"I'm not in the office anymore, even if you talk about me, I'm powerless."

Ji Ji Yuxiu smiled and said: "But our street should be fine, haven't heard of anyone making trouble."

"Give them a few guts—"

Seeing Sha Zhu put the wine cup on the table, curled his lips and said: "The north is the station of the Wei Third Regiment, the east is the branch bureau, the west is the office, who dares to make trouble?"

He drank some wine and talked a lot, pointing to the southeast, northwest and started talking about the situation here.

I don't know how he heard these things when he went to work and managed the kitchen here after returning.

Seeing Sha Zhu sat with his back to the kang and didn't see the eyes of Diliya and He Yu Shui staring at him.

The table sitting on the kang were all mothers who had just given birth, as well as the old lady and Liu Yin.

Zhao Zhao Yafang, Gu Ning, Fei Fei Shanying, and Diliya, the little Li Shu and Zhang Huaimin also gathered at this table to eat, listening to the liveliness of the adults.

The next table was the younger generation, Li Xue, Ji Ji Yuxiu, He He Yu Shui, Xiao Yan, and the sisters Wang Wang Yajuan and Wang Wang Yamei.

Ye Second Grandfather was thick-hearted, seeing the sister-in-law's eyes looking at Seeing Sha Zhu to remind him, he raised his glass to touch him, which was considered interrupting him.

Li Li Xuewu watched Seeing Sha Zhu being reminded by the second grandfather stupidly, and looked at the kang with a laugh.

At this time, He He Yu Shui was also looking here. I don't know if it was because he teased Seeing Sha Zhu to say these things, or because of something else, she glared at him.

He had never suffered such a loss, didn't provoke disaster, didn't provoke trouble, why was he annoying.

"Your brother mentioned you this afternoon, had a blind date? Where is the object?"

"None of your business—!"

Knowing that Li Li Xuewu was teasing her, He Yu Shui rolled her eyes, and at the same time glared at her brother who looked back at her.

Seeing Sha Zhu was also confused, turned to look at Li Li Xuewu and asked: "Did I say it?"

He scratched his head and said: "Didn't you ask me?"

"Your memory, forgetting things after drinking, what to do."

Li Li Xuewu picked up the wine glass and touched him, saying: "Come, walk one!"

"Done? I'm at the bottom here."

Seeing Sha Zhu compared with the wine glass, and seeing Li Li Xuewu finished, he also finished.

A sentence of interruption was considered to have forgotten who asked this first just now.

He only remembered Li Li Xuewu asked, but he didn't say, this matter must be guarded against Li Li Xuewu.

It was not easy for his sister to agree to a blind date, and it would be yellow if Li Li Xuewu stirred it up.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Li Xuewu's character, he didn't trust his sister's concentration.

This young and promising cadre, which girl wouldn't be confused when she saw it.

Don't say that people in this era are simple, simple and robbing others' lovers don't conflict.

There are not a few girls in the factory who talk about Li Li Xuewu privately.

Just as the wine cup fell on the table, Wang Wang Yamei suddenly said to Li Li Xuewu: "Wu Ge, I'm going to have a blind date too."

This sentence was a bit meaningful, or unfinished, unwilling.

Those who heard it looked at Wang Wang Yamei in surprise, and then looked at Li Li Xuewu.

The atmosphere almost froze into ice, her sister Wang Wang Yajuan frowned and poked her under the table.

Li Li Xuewu saw her concern, raised his eyebrows with a smile and said: "Is that so! This is a good thing, where is the object's family?"

"It's in the East City, not too far, his dad and my dad are friends."

Maybe it was because she was shocked by everyone after being excited, or maybe she knew she was wrong after being poked by her sister.

At this time, Wang Wang Yamei lowered her head and introduced the situation of the blind date family.

After listening to this, Li Li Xuewu knocked on the table in front of Shen Shen Guodong and reminded: "Have a way to inquire, see how the character is."

After saying this, he explained to Wang Wang Yajuan who looked over: "Since it is your dad's friend, the family must be no problem."

"Shen Guodong often handles things on the street and knows the young people in this area relatively well."

Li Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If the young man's character is also good, getting married early is a good thing."

Because of Li Li Xuewu's words and Wang Wang Yamei's explanation, the atmosphere in the house returned to its original state, but everyone had a count in their hearts.

Gu Ning took care of Li Shu eating, although she heard and saw it, she didn't take it seriously.

If he really had something with this little girl, he wouldn't put it under her eyelids, let alone call it to a table to disgust her.

Besides, if she were angry because there were too many people who loved him, she wouldn't have to do anything else, and she would be full of anger all day.

Maybe it was because she saw Gu Ning didn't care, that everyone was relieved.

"Thank you, Wu Ge."

Wang Wang Yajuan thanked Li Li Xuewu on behalf of her sister and said embarrassedly: "Our family didn't consider this aspect."

She looked at her sister and said: "My dad came back and mentioned it to my mom, and then it was decided, haven't met yet."

"Quite a good thing, a happy marriage."

Li Li Xuewu touched Seeing Sha Zhu who was watching the fun with a smile and reminded: "If He Yu Shui has any needs for a blind date, mention it to Shen Guodong, they are all brothers."

After speaking, he touched the cup with Seeing Sha Zhu and Shen Shen Guodong, which was considered a reminder for these two upcoming happy events.

He He Yu Shui didn't accept his kindness, just glanced at him and continued to eat.

If he really cared, why not find a private time to ask? Even if he wanted to investigate the background, did he need Shen Shen Guodong?

After dinner, the boys took the initiative to help clear the table, and others talked for a while about today's liveliness.

The weather was cool at night, and Wang Wang Yajuan and Wang Wang Yamei sisters left after eating.

Shen Shen Guodong called two boys to follow them back. Although it was past eight o'clock, it was still too late.

At this time, there were already little cubs running around, and being scared was not worth it.

Several children were sleepy, Li Shu was sucking her mouth in the grandmother's arms, and Liu Yin arranged to go home to rest quickly.

Han Han Jiankun's car had already arrived, and it arrived when they finished dinner.

After the liveliness, it was another separation, and separation was for the next

The women got off the *kang* and put on their shoes. Fei Fei Shanying called out to Li Li Xuewu, mentioning that they wanted to go home.

"We've stayed here long enough. Once the children are a bit older and it's convenient, let's go back home to live."

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient here?"

Li Li Xuewu smiled and patted Shen Shen Guodong's shoulder, saying, "Just now at the dinner table, Shen Guodong was saying that with you coming to the shop to help, he's been saved a lot of trouble."

"What help can I provide? It's just..."

Being praised by him, Fei Fei Shanying said somewhat embarrassedly, "Staying here all the time, it's also inconvenient for you to come home."

"Besides, I have a house over there too; if no one lives in it for a long time, it will fall into disrepair."

"Then let's wait until the children are a bit older and can be left to others before we talk about it."

Li Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Counting Li Tang, He Zhuang, plus your family's Zhang Huaimin and Wen Yuan, and our family's Li Shu and Li Ning, when the time comes, we'll have enough to form a small kindergarten!"

He laughed and joked to the few people looking over, "Right in this room, we can watch them all together without even delaying work."

"You make it sound so easy; are children really that easy to take care of?"

Liu Yin smiled and urged them to hurry; the children were all asleep, so they shouldn't go home too late.

A large group of people came out of the *daozuofang* and dispersed. Li Xue helped carry Li Shu and Li Ning's bags from the house and put them into the car.

Taking small children out is just like moving house.

Li Li Xuewu held Li Shu, Gu Ning held Li Ning, while Mother Liu Yin was instructing Li Xue and Zhao Zhao Yafang about something.

Just as everyone was walking toward the Bai Bai Xiyuan to get into the cars, they saw Bang Geng also walking out carrying a small bundle, his mouth sniffling.

Seeing him in this state, everyone laughed. Sha Zhu teased him, but he didn't respond, just kept his head down and walked out until Li Li Xuewu spoke up to ask.

"I'm running away from home—"

Bang Geng shouted with a crying voice, "My mom hit me, wuwuwu, she hit me."

"What did you do to get hit?"

Sha Zhu raised an eyebrow and said, "It couldn't be because I told your mom tonight that you threw away your homework and wouldn't even write it if a dog barked at you, right?"

Li Li Xuewu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You really told his mom that?"

"Wuwuwu—it's all your fault!"

Bang Geng finally knew who had leaked the secret. So that's why the beating he took was so unjust!

He pushed Sha Zhu hard, almost causing Sha Zhu, who had drunk a bit too much, to fall over.

Fortunately, Yu Shui was following behind and supported him, while also giving him a pat.

"I'll teach you to mess around, acting like this with a child."

"Exactly—!"

Bang Geng cried out, "What does it have to do with you whether I write my homework or not! Do you have to go and tattle?"

"Bang Geng!"

Qin Qin Huairu had actually been following behind all along. This was her own son; could she really drive him away and not care?

Even if she really didn't care, the mother-in-law wouldn't allow it either.

Tonight, she had made up her mind. After returning, she saw that Bang Geng's homework notebook hadn't been touched at all, cleaner than a face.

In the past, the family was poor and there were no conditions to provide him with a good learning environment, so that was one thing, but now the family had the conditions, and he still wouldn't study.

Sha Zhu's joking words also came to her mind at this moment. Angry, she grabbed a broom handle and hit Bang Geng's buttocks a few times.

This child was growing up and developing a temper. After being hit, he actually dared to act stubborn. She didn't know who he learned it from, but he actually dared to shout about running away from home.

The mother-in-law wanted to stop her, but Qin Qin Huairu spoke directly: if he wants to go, let him go quickly, don't delay their sleep.

Bang Geng was left standing there. Seeing that his grandmother didn't stop her again, he could only pack two pieces of clothing and walk out with his bundle on his back.

Jia Jia Zhangshi felt pained and wanted to talk to Bang Geng, but was afraid of Qin Qin Huairu.

She wanted to talk to Qin Qin Huairu, but was afraid the daughter-in-law would say she was spoiling the child.

Not until she saw Qin Qin Huairu following out with the broom handle did she feel relieved, staying at home to look after the two younger ones.

This child couldn't go without being disciplined now. She wanted to keep spoiling him, but she wasn't the one in charge of the family anymore.

Qin Qin Huairu had become a cadre, and the aura about her grew daily. Especially after managing people for a long time, her speech always carried majesty.

The whole family relied on her for their livelihood, so wasn't her word law?

Her work was getting better and better, but the problem of her son's education was becoming more and more serious.

The old lady in the house didn't care about him, and couldn't care for him anymore. After school, he would throw his schoolbag aside and climb onto the wall; who could catch him?

He wouldn't come home until dark, wouldn't enter the door until mealtime, and would collapse after eating. If you didn't hit this child, were you saving him for the New Year?

She had been following Bang Geng out all along. Qin Qin Huairu didn't believe her son dared to run away from home, and even less did she believe he had anywhere to go.

So she followed behind to see what he would do.

At this moment, she saw the Li family and the people from the *daozuofang* finish their dinner and disperse, and Bang Geng started making a scene with Sha Zhu again, which is why she came out.

She glared at Bang Geng and said, "Aren't you running away from home? Don't delay, hurry up, we're about to close the main gate."

Qin Qin Huairu was also good at speaking. With a few words, she made the situation clear, and was able to correct Bang Geng's mistakes and force him to recognize them.

For a child, if they use this to threaten their parents for the first time and you are afraid of them, next time they might even dare to hold a knife to their own neck.

So, hit him once to make him behave, so he wouldn't dare to think like that next time.

Seeing Qin Qin Huairu getting angry, Sha Zhu laughed dryly and hugged Bang Geng to explain, but was stopped by Yu Shui, who pushed him toward the *Chuihua Sect*.

"You're everywhere! Next time you drink this much, you run away from home too!"

Diliya followed behind and said this to him, while simultaneously winking at Qin Qin Huairu with a smile.

Qin Qin Huairu nodded in understanding, knowing she was helping her discipline the child.

If Sha Zhu really stood in the middle, it would give the mother and son a way out, but Bang Geng wouldn't realize his mistake.

Then the fire she lit today and the beating Bang Geng took would all be in vain.

Bang Geng was her own son; she wouldn't hit him too hard, so did she need Sha Zhu to stop her?

So, for the help from Yu Shui and Diliya, she also nodded in thanks, while her gaze continued to pressure her son.

Bang Geng stood there aggrieved, watching the people in the recycling station ignore him.

And Wu Shu's family were either getting into their cars or returning to the courtyard, seemingly not thinking of greeting him.

He stood there watching everyone leave, with only his mother still here with him. For a moment, he really didn't know what to do.

Really run away from home?

It wasn't cold at this moment, but it wasn't hot either. If he really slept outside for a night, he wasn't afraid of the cold, but he was afraid of the dark.

He didn't even dare to go to the toilet by himself at night. Thinking of when Yan Brother Jiecheng died before the New Year and was laid out at the door, his legs trembled.

Don't look at how he wasn't afraid of Yan Brother Jiecheng when he was alive, but after he died, there was always a sense of mystery.

Originally, he had just heard movement at the door and came over.

Now the sound of the car started, and Wu Shu didn't pay him any mind; the whole family left through the Bai Bai Xiyuan gate.

The boy closing the main gate was even making a joke of him, waiting for him to lower his head and admit his mistake.

He was a man; how could he lower his head and admit his mistake!

The comic books all said: a man sheds sweat and blood, but not tears!

"Mom... I was wrong—"

Just as Qin Qin Huairu urged him to go out again, Bang Geng finally softened.

Qin Qin Huairu knitted her brows, glared, and said, "Aren't you running away from home? Why are you going back on your word? I'm not raising you here anymore."

"Go on, go live the life of a vagrant you want! Hungry, cold, find a trash can on the street to sleep in!"

"I won't do it anymore, Mom, I was really wrong."

At this moment, there was no one left at the *Chuihua Sect* entrance. Bang Geng wasn't afraid of losing face as a man anymore. Seeing his mother really driving him away, even pushing him toward the door, he hurriedly knelt down to his mother.

Qin Qin Huairu was also extremely angry and demanded, "Do you still dare to say you're running away from home? Do you still dare to threaten me with this?"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

Bang Geng was also scared to tears, sobbing, "I'll never dare again."

"I'll tell you one last time, Bang Geng."

Qin Qin Huairu pointed at Bang Geng, who was kneeling on the ground, with the broom handle and said, "If you ever dare to threaten me with these things again, I'll drive you out, and you're never to come home again! Do you hear me?"

"I hear you, I hear you."

Bang Geng was scared. He timidly grabbed Qin Qin Huairu's trouser leg and promised while crying.

Qin Qin Huairu reached out and pulled him up, pointing to the courtyard, "Go home! If you don't finish your homework, don't sleep tonight."

"Wuwuwu—I know."

Bang Geng carried his bundle and walked toward the courtyard, crying. Thinking of the mountain of homework he had to make up, his tears couldn't stop flowing.

Perhaps it was because they saw Qin Qin Huairu getting angry, but those entering or leaving the courtyard gate at this time of night didn't greet them much; if they bumped into them, they just nodded.

If it were in the past, there would always be people watching the fun, or people like Sha Zhu pretending to be the good guy.

Qin Qin Huairu told Bang Geng that if he ever dared to tattle to anyone else or hide from her in the future, and she caught him, she would beat him again.

Now Bang Geng was truly afraid of his mother. In the past, the beatings were counted, and they were light and didn't hurt.

Now it was different. After his mother became a cadre, she managed people more and more strictly, and her beatings hurt more and more. When it hurt badly, he wouldn't even dare to let his buttocks touch the bed.

Why do they say you don't fear bad things, you only fear bad people? Disciplining children is the same.

After entering the house, Qin Qin Huairu gave her mother-in-law a look, not asking her to help, and pointed at the washbasin, telling Bang Geng to go outside and fetch water to wash his face himself.

His face was a mess from crying, looking as miserable as could be.

After Bang Geng went out, Jia Jia Zhangshi asked painfully and helplessly, "Who did he learn this from?"

She nervously promised, "I certainly never taught him this, and I've never heard anyone else mention it."

"I'm not saying you taught him, what are you thinking?"

Qin Qin Huairu sat in the room, watching Bang Geng washing his face outside, and said, "He must have heard about what happened with those two things in the front and back courtyards."

"Oh my, I didn't think of that."

Jia Jia Zhangshi clapped her hands and said, "When Yan Yan Jiefang was shouting at his mother in the front courtyard, Bang Geng ran over to watch the fun."

"And this afternoon, Liu Liu Haizhong was arguing with his eldest son in the back courtyard, and he crowded over there too."

"I'm not complaining about you; I also know it's not easy for you at home, taking care of three children."

Qin Qin Huairu said in a tactful tone, "This child can't go on without being disciplined. Look at our courtyard; if we really follow his temper..."

"I know, I know, it's that I wasn't careful. Oh my—who would have thought!"

Jia Jia Zhangshi admitted her mistake while complaining that there were no good people in the front and back courtyards.

She muttered in a low voice, "I said we should stay far away from them; they aren't good people."

Qin Qin Huairu glanced at her mother-in-law. Seeing that Bang Geng was about to return, she reminded her, "In the future, when he comes home from school, tell him to do his homework, and if he goes out to play, tell me when he gets back."

The second half of this sentence was said when Bang Geng had already entered the room, with an unmistakable tone of warning.

Bang Geng also hung his head and went to find a towel to wipe his face, still sobbing with shortness of breath.

He went to the table, sobbing, to find his homework. Looking at the large blank space, he couldn't help but feel grief welling up inside—damn it, how long will it take to write all this!

Jia Jia Zhangshi still felt pained for her grandson, so she went to pour him a cup of hot water and coaxed him to drink it.

"Write slowly, you'll be done in a while."

"Don't sleep until you finish!"

Qin Qin Huairu sat there and reminded him, "This is the rule from now on. If you think you can go without sleep at night, then go out and play during the day."

She shook the broom handle in her hand and said, "If I catch you once, I'll hit you once, to see if you learn your lesson."

"Quickly tell your mom you won't do it again."

Jia Jia Zhangshi advised her grandson, "How can you not study? If you don't study, will you have to go scoop feces when you grow up? How smelly that is."

Qin Qin Huairu couldn't stand her mother-in-law's way of educating, but there were only the two of them at home.

She said to Bang Geng, "I don't ask you to get into university, I don't ask you to stand out from the crowd, and I don't ask you to buy me a house or land."

"I just hope you don't become an illiterate who can't read or understand the newspaper, so that when you go out, someone sells you and you even help them count the money!"

"Mom..."

Bang Geng sobbed, holding his pencil, and raised his head to remind her, "If I'm illiterate and can't read or understand the newspaper, how can I help the person who sells me count the money..."

"..."

Hearing her son's words, Qin Qin Huairu felt like the broom handle was about to snap, and she was about to grind her teeth to dust.

"Am I talking about you being sold and counting money—?!"

She stood up in anger and scolded, "I'm telling you to study! Study! Study!"

Qin Qin Huairu pointed at Bang Geng's homework notebook with the broom handle and questioned, "Why am I telling you to study? Huh? Why?"

Bang Geng was startled by her. Seeing his mother asking urgently, he replied without thinking, "To help the person who sells me count the money..."

"Oh my—the beating you took really wasn't unjust at all!"

This child usually looked quite clever; what was wrong with him today?

Jia Jia Zhangshi hurriedly pressed down on Bang Geng's head, not letting him speak anymore, and told him to hurry up and do his homework.

Bang Geng also reacted at this moment, knowing he had said the wrong thing. While lowering his head to do his homework, he used a trembling, tearful voice to remedy it: "To *not* help the person who sells me count the money..."

"Qin Huairu, don't be so hard on him, okay?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi looked at her daughter-in-law, whose nose was about to be twisted with anger, and hurriedly stood up to comfort her, "Being able to know not to help others count money is already very good."
