Tonight, the Lin family was particularly lively, and Ning Shu warmly welcomed Hai Cai’s family.
Although there was no meat because their visit was sudden, and the app hadn’t recently shown any meat, there were plenty of vegetables and seafood.
The vegetables were grown by Ning Shu herself, and the seafood was traded with the indigenous islanders on trading days for dried fish, kelp, dried meat, shrimp, and more.
So, with vegetables, eggs, fish, and shrimp, this dinner was still very sumptuous.
Especially when Qian Aifen heard about the cheap seafood trade, she was very tempted and planned to trade some when she returned home.
The seafood from the indigenous islanders was mostly dried, so it was cheaper during the trade.
After dinner, because Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen were there, Ning Shu didn’t go to aid digestion but instead, the three children took Da Mao, Tie Dan, and Hai Cai to aid digestion together.
Watching her son, Qian Aifen sighed, “With Yibao, Erbao and Sanbao here, Hai Cai’s spirits have also improved.”
Ning Shu said, “I guess when he was in the hospital and on the train, no one talked to him, so he only thought about his body when he was uncomfortable.
With someone there, some of his spirit was taken away, so he’s better now.”
“That could be it.” Qian Aifen felt that it was mainly because of the three brothers.
Hai Cai and Yibao and Erbao had grown up together since they were young, both raised by Lin’s mother.
When they were young, they crawled on the ground together, and as they grew older, they walked hand in hand, falling down together and getting up together.
Yibao, Erbao and Haicai, they raised them together, so their relationship was especially deep.
They were no less close than real siblings. “By the way, Third Sister, about Zhuang Xiaopang’s matter, you mentioned to Dad about reporting it to the police. If we report it, how will it be handled?”
“I don’t know how it will be handled. After all, Zhuang Xiaopang is still young and shouldn’t be convicted of intentional murder.
So, if he is sentenced, it definitely won’t be as severe as an adult’s. But there will definitely be punishment.”
After some thought,
Ning Shu said, “Guodong has a friend in the county police station. When you go back, go to the county police station first and see what the comrades at the police station say. Then decide how to proceed.”
The police station is easy to deal with.
Since Lin Guodong is in charge of the police station, Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen are reassured.
However, “He won’t be taken away and shot, will he?” Qian Aifen was still somewhat worried.
Although she wanted someone to be punished, she still felt uneasy at the thought of him being shot.
“He won’t,” after all, Zhuang Xiaopang is only a few years old.
However, Ning Shu didn’t know what the sentence would be. “Just listen to what the comrades at the police station say when the time comes. After Hai Cai was rescued, did Zhuang Xiaopang admit that he pushed him?”
Qian Aifen replied, “He did. After Hai Cai was rescued, he said Zhuang Xiaopang pushed him. We went to Zhuang’s house to argue about it at that time.”
Zhuang Xiaopang admitted it under Xiao Pang’s mother’s questioning, and then Zhuang Xiaopang’s mother apologized to us, so she will compensate for Haicai’s medical expenses.”
The main thing is that Xiao Pang’s mother’s attitude is very good, so it’s also a bit difficult for them to take action.
If Xiao Pang’s mother had a bad attitude, then it probably wouldn’t be difficult.
Ning Shu sighed, “Xiao Pang’s mother is a sensible person. But with Zhuang Xiaopang’s character, if he doesn’t receive education, and he continues to live in Qinglin Bay Brigade, this matter won’t be resolved, and he might still act out.
Since his father passed away, he will definitely hold a grudge against Yi Bao, Er Bao, and Haicai, after all, they were the ones who saw his father messing around with other women.”
Qian Aifen’s hair stood on end when she heard this. “Then what if he doesn’t catch him and goes after Haicai later? No, no, he must be caught.”
Isn’t that right? Because of his father’s matter, he resents Yi Bao, Er Bao, and Haicai.
Yi Bao and Er Bao are gone now, so he’s targeting Haicai.
Just thinking about this made Qian Aifen even more uneasy. ” Third Sister-in-law, can Haicai stay here until Zhuang Xiaopang’s matter is resolved? Don’t worry, we’ll cover his food expenses.”
Ning Shu wasn’t concerned about the food expenses; she was actually willing to let Haicai stay a bit longer.
After all, it’s probably not easy to take care of Haicai’s health in the countryside.
Moreover, Zhuang Xiaopang’s matter hasn’t been resolved yet, so she really can’t rest assured about sending Haicai back home.
Although the plot rules no longer apply, after what happened with Haicai, Ning Shu felt that there were some things she couldn’t be so relaxed about.
“No problem, there’s no need for food expenses. Haicai rarely visits his Third Uncle’s house, It doesn’t we also like Hai Cai” Ning Shu said.
The three of them chatted about this and that, and by the time it got dark, San Bao, Yi Bao, Er Bao, and Haicai had returned, with Da Mao and Tie Dan following behind.
When it was time to sleep, the three children were overjoyed to know they could sleep with their mother.
When Ning Shu came in after bathing, she saw the three children staring at her with round eyes.
“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Ning Shu asked as she climbed into bed.
Er Bao grinned and said, “Waiting to sleep with Mother. Mother, will Haicai be living with us from now on?”
Ning Shu knew their thoughts, but she had to disappoint them. “He will just stay here temporarily to recover, and he will go back when he’s better.”
Er Bao was a bit reluctant. “Then Mother, can we let Haicai stay here forever? We can farm together to make money, go to the mountains together to collect firewood, pick wild vegetables, and dig bamboo shoots.”
Ning Shu rubbed his head. “Would you like to live at Haicai’s house forever?”
Er Bao didn’t hesitate to answer this question.
He shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum. “No, no, I want to be with Mother.”
Ning Shu smiled and said, “So, just as you don’t want to leave me, he doesn’t want to leave his mother either.
You think about playing with Haicai, but Haicai also wants to be with his own parents, right?”
Er Bao thought silently for a moment, then sighed, “Being a kid is really troublesome.”
Ning Shu was baffled by this.
How did Lin Erbao suddenly come up with such profound words?
“Why do you say that?”
What made him so thoughtful?
Er Bao said, “Because kids want to be with their mothers, but adults don’t, so being a kid is really troublesome.”
Ning Shu chuckled, “How do you know that adults don’t want to be with their mothers?”
Er Bao replied confidently, “Look at Dad, he doesn’t want to be with his mother.”
Ning Shu: “…”
She was speechless.
Yi Bao pouted.
Many times, he didn’t understand his younger brother’s thoughts.
He thought being a kid was great because he could be with his mother.
When he grew up, he wouldn’t be able to be with his mother anymore.
Thinking about this made Yi Bao feel uncomfortable;
he didn’t want to grow up.
Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen stayed in the army for a week.
During this week, although Haicai’s health was still not good, sometimes he had a low temperature, and sometimes he had a low fever, but after hospital examinations, it was said that he could recover slowly with medication.
Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen were finally relieved.
So, they decided to return to Qinglin Bay Production Brigade.
After all, it was not a long-term solution for them to stay here.
Although the other children had Lin parents to take care of them, they still had to go back to work.
As for Haicai, because his body had not fully recovered, he not only needed medication but also sometimes needed intravenous glucose.
Coupled with the fact that Zhuang Xiaopang’s matter had not been resolved, he would stay here for a while.
When his body recovered, and Zhuang Xiaopang’s matter was resolved, Lin Guofeng would come back to take him.
After sending Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen off on the train, Ning Shu returned to the army and enrolled Haicai in the kindergarten.
The kindergarten tuition was cheap, only one yuan per semester.
The children not only could learn something but also benefited from developing their social skills.
Moreover, with the three children going to kindergarten, leaving Haicai alone at home would be boring for him.
So, the number of Lin family children going to kindergarten increased from three to four.
However, although the house was now livelier with an additional person, Lin Guodong had been on a mission for over a month.
Even though in the plot, Lin Guodong was supposed to live a safe life to old age, not returning for so long still made Ning Shu feel uneasy.
Fortunately, Lin Guodong didn’t let Ning Shu worry for too long.
He returned in the early morning of the third day after Lin Guofeng and Qian Aifen left.
He came back in the early morning, considering that Ning Shu and the children were sleeping, Lin Guodong didn’t knock on the courtyard door but climbed over the wall directly.
However, just as he landed after climbing in, he saw the light in his son’s room turn on, and then the door opened.
So, in the dark night, separated by a courtyard, Lin Guodong and the person standing at the door of the room looked at each other from a distance.
Because of the light in the room, Lin Guodong could see the person inside clearly, but the person inside couldn’t see him clearly.
Then, “Ah… there’s a bad guy… there’s a bad guy…” Haicai shouted loudly.
He was so focused on shouting that he didn’t think to run into the house.
However, Haicai shouted with all his strength, his voice hoarse from shouting, not only waking up the three children and Ning Shu but also waking up the neighbors on this street.
Soldiers are light sleepers to begin with.
As soon as they heard someone shouting that there was a bad guy, they didn’t even bother to put on their clothes; they just opened their doors and rushed towards Ning Shu’s house.
“Haicai it’s Third Uncle” Lin Guodong hurriedly shouted, but it was too late.
The door to their courtyard was already being knocked on by Wang, the nearby camp leader.
Even Vice-Camp Leader Yang next door was climbing over the wall.
And the men from other families also began to arrive one after another.
Their attire was also a hodgepodge.
Some were bare-chested in shorts, some were wearing cotton sweaters and pants…
“Dad…” Yi Bao rubbed his eyes sleepily, saw his dad at the door, and then went back to sleep.
Er Bao and San Bao also saw their dad, and like Yi Bao, they continued sleeping, oblivious to their surroundings.
Ning Shu was awakened by Haicai’s shout. She hurried out and saw Lin Guodong, feeling relieved.
At the same time, the courtyard door was banging: “What’s going on inside? What happened?”
Haicai also saw his uncle and was a bit dumbfounded, knowing that he had made a fool of himself.
He felt so embarrassed that even his toes curled up.
Lin Guodong hurriedly went to open the door.
When he opened it, he said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I just came back from a mission and scared the kid when I climbed over the wall.”
Camp Leader Wang: “…”
Vice-Camp Leader Yang, who was climbing over the wall: “…”
Others who were rushing over: “…”
Camp Leader Wang said, “Old Lin, you’ll have to treat everyone to a meal tomorrow.”
