Chapter 115: They’re Really Digging a Fish Pond!

That night, they ate takeout again, but they didn’t order any dishes.

Li Xinyue made a stir-fried egg with green peppers, a dish of string beans, and a seaweed soup.

The spicy fish was delicious and never got old, so they had a hearty dinner.

After digesting their meal, the father and son took a shower in the water faucet outside, while she went to take a shower at Xiao Nan’s place.

Only after entering did Li Xinyue realize that all single men were the same!

It seemed like he hadn’t lived here himself, it was practically bare!

Fortunately, she was only taking a shower, so there wasn’t much to complain about.

After showering, Chen Mingchuan and his son were waiting outside: “Xiao Nan said someone will come to dig the fish pond tomorrow.”

Huh?

Li Xinyue’s mouth twitched: “He really intends to dig a pond for Yier to raise ducks in?”

“Yes.”

Li Xinyue was truly in pain.

To love your child, you shouldn’t go this far, right?

“Don’t, it’s too dangerous, what if the child falls in and gets hurt?”

Chen Yiheng immediately objected upon hearing this: “Mommy, I’m not afraid, Daddy taught me how to swim, I’ve already learned.”

He learned after only two or three times?

Li Xinyue didn’t believe it: “Yier, there are many children here, they don’t know how to swim.”

“What if they sneak in and fall in and drown, what then?”

Hearing this, Chen Yiheng blinked.

As if thinking for a long time, he finally said: “Mommy, drowning is like Da Nian, it means you won’t ever be able to talk or move anymore, right?”

You have to make the child understand what danger is.

Li Xinyue nodded: “Yes.”

Finally, Chen Yiheng gave up.

“Mommy, then I won’t raise ducks, I’ll wait until I grow up and earn money to buy you duck meat to eat.”

“What a good son!”

Li Xinyue patted his head and promised: “When we have the chance, Mommy will get you some rabbits to raise.”

No child dislikes small animals, Chen Yiheng’s little eyes immediately lit up: “Mommy, I want to raise four.”

“Okay, raise four.”

This kid, he’s treating Xiao Nan like family.

The Chen family of three finished showering and sat down. It was still early, Chen Mingchuan took out a book to read.

Li Xinyue found some paper and wrote out the phonetic alphabet.

The family sat in the living room, reading their books, teaching their child, a peaceful and beautiful scene.

But things weren’t so good at Wu Weiguo’s house.

“Mom, are you trying to make me feel unwelcome here?”

Wu’s mother was furious: “How could I have such thoughts? I just wanted to help you build a closer relationship.”

“Build a closer relationship? You call this building a closer relationship?”

Wu Weiguo was truly furious.

His mother pretended to invite people to dinner when they didn’t even have anything prepared at home!

“Do you think Chen Mingchuan and his wife are fools?”

“Do you know how powerful he is? With your little tricks, he’ll definitely notice.”

“Mom, stop treating everyone like fools, okay?”

“What you’re doing is not helping me, you’re holding me back! When people interact, sincerity is key!”

Speaking of this, Wu Weiguo’s face turned black with anger.

Chen Mingchuan valued his hometown connections, and he had received a lot of help from him over the years while serving in the army.

After his wife became pregnant, Chen Mingchuan found someone to transfer Wu Weiguo to the repair shop, and even made him the senior foreman.

The repair shop belonged to the logistics department, with fewer opportunities for field training, so he could take better care of his family.

And it was under Xiao Nan, his iron brother.

But what was his mother doing?

“After Lanzi gives birth and completes the three-day confinement, you two should go back.”

“If you stay here, I’m worried it will affect my relationship with my comrades, I cherish this camaraderie.”

“What?”

“My daughter-in-law will be back after three days?”

Although busy at home, Aunt Wu still wanted to stay at the military base for a few more days. At least she could eat her fill here.

Of course, she didn’t think much about who she was eating with.

In her heart, her son’s was hers, and it was his responsibility to feed her.

“I will go back, but I said I would stay for half a month when I came. You’re making me go back like this, how can I save face?”

Wu Xiaohe refused even more: “I won’t go back, Second Brother, we were wrong this time, okay?”

“We won’t do this again in the future.”

“Besides, Second Sister-in-law has two in her belly, can she handle everything alone?”

Aunt Wu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: “Yes, yes, Zhao Lan has two in her belly, she can’t do it alone.”

“Second son, Mom was wrong, we won’t do this again, okay?”

Could they really change?

Wu Weiguo glanced at Zhao Lan. In fact, Zhao Lan didn’t like her mother-in-law and sister-in-law being there, because these two were really unpleasant.

But her husband was a filial son.

“Weiguo, Mom just came, going back like this will make people in the village laugh.”

“I’m about to have my confinement period, this is my first child, I don’t know anything, I feel more at ease with Mom here.”

“That’s right, that’s right, I’ve given birth to six or seven of you siblings.”

“Besides, your ex-wife gave birth to two, I took care of both their confinement periods. Second son, I have experience.”

“Don’t worry, I promise you, I won’t drag you down anymore, okay?”

Although Wu Weiguo was a father for the third time, to be honest, he really didn’t understand anything about women giving birth.

The first two children were born in his hometown.

He went back when his eldest was born, but according to local customs, he, a man, could only watch.

But he knew that women giving birth was extremely, extremely painful.

That was also why he was so fond of his wife.

Finally, he relented.

“Alright, I’ll trust you this once. I also believe that Mom doesn’t want to affect my future.”

Of course!

Having a son serving in the military was Mrs. Wu’s pride!

The Chen family didn’t know what was happening at the Wu family. Chen Mingchuan, who was reading, was deeply attracted by Li Xinyue’s way of teaching Chen Yiheng…

“Remembered?”

The vivid and engaging teaching method made Chen Yiheng very interested: “Remembered, Mom, I’ll read it to you!”

“Open your mouth a, a, a, à… Mouth like an egg o, o, o, o… Cheeks puffed up e, è, ě, è…”

This kid, worthy of having an excellent father, his genetic inheritance was indeed good!

“Great! We’ll learn these three today, tomorrow we’ll start learning to write, and then we need to be able to recognize them fluently.”

Chen Yiheng nodded vigorously: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mom, I will remember.”

After a busy day, it was almost nine thirty. The family of three got into bed and soon fell asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, the soldiers who were digging the fish pond came.

Li Xinyue and Chen Mingchuan went over to tell them their intentions…

The soldiers digging the pond were from Xiao Nan’s camp, led by his communications officer, Wang Xinlai.

“Battalion Commander Chen, our camp commander told us to dig it wide and deep, really not digging it?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “No need, the child is still young, if he really falls in, it will be a big deal!”

Indeed, Battalion Commander Chen was very thoughtful.

Wang Xinlai immediately nodded: “Okay, then we won’t dig it.”

“No need to dig.”

Wang Xinlai led the soldiers back to report. The family of three came out of Xiao Nan’s house, but unexpectedly ran into Wang Lijuan…
