The Reborn Wicked Mother-in-law: The Officer Son Returns Home, Stunned

Chapter 123

The kids came out of the washroom quickly. Qin Nian saw several kids fetching water by themselves to do the laundry.

"Mom, is the washing machine broken?"

Qin Nian looked at Yang Yufen.

"No, it's in good condition. Last time, these kids used the washing machine to wash potatoes. Later, I punished them to do the laundry by themselves. When they realize how tough it is to do the laundry, they won't make themselves dirty all over in the future."

Speaking of this, Yang Yufen remembered those sets of clothes that couldn't be washed clean yesterday. Fortunately, they were all old clothes.

"So that's how it is."

Qin Nian nodded. Looking at the washing machine that required someone to change and drain the water back and forth, she thought it would be a good idea to start with the washing machine. It was really hard for one person to do the laundry for the whole family. It was okay in summer, but it wouldn't be so easy in winter.

The kids caught the cartoon on time. After the cartoon ended, the news broadcast started. Yang Yufen watched the news, while the kids took the radio to the yard.

"Mom, come with us, okay?"

Li Wen grabbed Qin Nian's sleeve, and Qin Nian followed the kids.

Hearing the kids communicating in foreign languages, Qin Nian was quite shocked. Especially when she saw that Erbao knew more than one foreign language, she helped correct their pronunciations. The more time she spent with the kids, the more she realized how much she had missed.

During the days when she was away, the teacher and his wife had taken on the role of the kids' grandparents and helped take care of the kids for her.

"Li Wen, is it tiring to learn so many things?"

Qin Nian noticed that Li Wen was learning more than Li Wu. The two kids were only born a short time apart. Li Wu had gone to play, but Li Wen was still listening to the radio.

"No, it's very interesting."

Wang Xing nodded beside him.

"The only drawback is that not many people can help us. Only when grandma is free can she correct our pronunciations and teach us more. But mom is so amazing! Mom knows it all, but dad doesn't."

Just then, Shen Xianjun came out and heard this. He twitched the corner of his mouth. There was no doubt that this kid was disliking him, the father.

Forget it. He, as a father, wouldn't argue with a kid. He was already fed up with learning one foreign language, but this little kid was learning three. Only his father - in - law and mother - in - law had the patience to teach.

"It's about time. Aren't you going for training today?"

Shen Xianjun tapped his watch. Li Wen immediately stood up and stopped clinging to Qin Nian.

"Mom, we're going to train with Grandpa Liao. He's going to talk about setting traps today."

"Go ahead."

Just as Li Wen finished speaking, Hu Zhenghao came back from outside the door to call the kids.

"Do the kids have such a rich daily life?"

Qin Nian couldn't help being curious.

"They've developed this habit. They have to go for a run together at six in the morning, have classes at half - past seven. At noon, Grandpa Liao will tell them war stories. School is over at five in the afternoon, and the cartoon is on at six.

If their grandma is free at seven, she'll teach them foreign languages. There's also night training at eight in the evening, and they'll be back at nine, just in time to go to bed at half - past nine."

Yang Yufen walked out with a smile and told Qin Nian the kids' approximate daily schedule.

Qin Nian nodded and remembered it in her heart.

"Mom, I have something to do outside tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back. I may not come back for lunch."

"It's okay. The family bikes are usually in use, and you can ride them."

Yang Yufen nodded.

"I'll go to see your Aunt Guixiang tomorrow. In the evening..."

"Mom, we'll be back in the afternoon."

Qin Nian quickly interrupted.

"Mom, I'll cook dinner."

Shen Xianjun added.

"Okay, then I'll leave the family to you."

Yang Yufen went to bed early after washing up. The next morning, Shen Xianjun was making breakfast.

Previously, his vacations were short, but since this vacation was long, Shen Xianjun would take the initiative to do things.

"I'll cut the leeks and then go to see your Aunt Guixiang. Remember to feed the chickens."

"Mom, don't you want to have breakfast?"

Shen Xianjun was used to his mother's instructions, but he was quite unaccustomed to his mother's thrifty habit of not having breakfast at home suddenly.

"Can your aunt be short of a meal for me?"

Yang Yufen carried a basket to the backyard, cut the leeks, and then went out.

"You're here again to send leeks. I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."

As soon as Gui Xiang saw Yang Yufen, she quickly put the noodles into the pot.

Since the business of the noodle shop had been getting better and better and she had also made some money from growing vegetables in the fields, Gui Xiang, on Yang Yufen's advice, had found someone to help. She had called her divorced niece.

It was really a hard - luck story. She was said to be divorced, but she didn't even have a marriage certificate. Her husband had a bad temper and would beat her when drunk. She was still pregnant at that time, but then she lost the baby.

Gui Xiang's elder brother called her and said that his daughter was in such a situation. He brought her back, but it wasn't a good situation at home either. There were his son and daughter - in - law at home, and the daughter - in - law would inevitably have opinions. So he pleaded with Gui Xiang.

Gui Xiang said she'd find a job for her, without saying what it was. Anyway, she could support herself. When the niece came, Gui Xiang was shocked by her emaciated appearance.

This niece was born before she got married. A person in her thirties looked older than her in her fifties.

She was very dexterous, used to doing farm work and strong. Now the noodle shop was open all day, and there were a lot of regular customers.

Yang Yufen stayed there for half a day and couldn't even find a chance to help during the busiest time.

It wasn't until after two o'clock that the noodle shop finally became quiet.

"Why do you have so much free time to stay here today?"

Gui Xiang sat down beside Yang Yufen.

"Qin Nian is back, and Xianjun is on vacation. The kids don't need me to take care of them now, so I'm out for some activities."

"Qin Nian is back. It's really great that the family is reunited!"

Gui Xiang was really happy for Yang Yufen.

"Yes, I just want to go back and see my old man. I haven't had time for all these years."

Yang Yufen sighed.

"Are you afraid of delaying the two kids' work?"

Gui Xiang also thought of her eldest son.

"Yes."

Yang Yufen nodded slightly.

"Oh, what are you being shy about? Just tell the kids and see how they arrange it. I'm also thinking of taking Ershun and the others back for a visit this year."

As for her old man, he still had to take care of those acres of land, so he definitely couldn't leave it unattended.

"Changshun called the other day and said something about the kids' schooling. He wants the kids to come here to study."

"Did you agree?"

Yang Yufen looked at Gui Xiang.

"No, kids can't be away from their parents all the time. And the three kids of my eldest son don't like studying. Actually, I know what my eldest son and his wife are thinking. They have their own small family and want to take care of it. I can understand that. But I was really uncomfortable when they wanted to split the family back then when Ershun was in that situation.

Now that the conditions are better, I'm not against helping my eldest son, but Ershun's situation is special. We don't know how long we'll be able to take care of him. We definitely have to support Qingqing to grow up.

We old folks have also realized that Qingqing is a filial child and good at studying. If we teach her well and save more money in the future, we'll find a son - in - law for her to marry in, and Ershun won't have to worry about his later life."
