Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 178: Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones
"Nannan! What are you doing during the Chinese New Year?"

"Mom, I didn't do anything to him?"

"Then why are you glaring at Wei Dong as soon as he comes home fine?"

"Mom, if you protect him like this, which one of us is your biological child?"

Mother Ding smiled and teased her daughter: "Mom brought you from the shrimp boat."

"?!" This mother-in-law!
It's really worth calling me "Mom".

"You brat, come here." Ding Qiunan ignored Mother Ding and pulled Jia Weidong into the room.

"Sister Qiunan, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? It's all your fault, I'm too big." Ding Qiunan pouted and twisted his hand on Jia Weidong's waist.

Jia Weidong was happy when he heard this: "Hey! Sister, you can't blame me entirely for this, neither can you."

"You brat, you still said"

In fact, it wasn't a big deal. After Jia Weidong left that day, Ding Qiunan didn't get up until noon, and he still couldn't walk very neatly.

Jia Weidong did it on purpose.

Just like the Lion King, only the strong have more rights.

Only in this way, when Father Ding and Mother Ding find out one day that he has another woman, it will be easier for him to accept it and not embarrass Jia Weidong too much.

Have lunch at Ding’s house.

After knowing that Jia Weidong was going on a long trip, Ding's mother took Ding Rushan for a walk as soon as the meal was finished.

The west room of the Ding family.

"Brother Wei Dong, are you really going to travel far away?"

"Well, I'm going to leave in the morning of the third year of junior high school and come back before school starts."

"Brother Wei Dong, come see me as soon as you come back!"

"Okay," Jia Weidong nodded in agreement.

"Brother Weidong." Ding Qiunan leaned into Jia Weidong's arms, put her arms around Jia Weidong's neck, stood on tiptoes and raised her head, kissing Jia Weidong with her small cherry mouth.

Jia Weidong held Ding Qiunan's waist: "Why are you so proactive today?"

Contrary to his previous passive and submissive attitude, Ding Qiunan's kiss was a little passionate and his movements a little urgent.

"Brother Wei Dong, I miss you."

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Weidong drove a minivan and left Ding's house feeling refreshed.

After arriving home, Jia Weidong took Qin Huairu's four daughters with him and rode his bicycle to Ji Yufei's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Seeing Jia Weidong and the four girls come to the door, Ji's mother warmly entertained them without any abnormality.But after dinner, when Jia Weidong left with his five daughters, including his own daughter, Ji's mother looked at the backs of the six people who were leaving happily, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.

February 1, the second day of the Chinese New Year.

morning.

Jia Weidong drove a minivan and took the five sisters to Lou Bancheng's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Among the parents of several daughters, the ones who are most tolerant of Jia Weidong's son-in-law, apart from Qin Huairu's parents, are Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan.

As soon as Lou Tan saw Jia Weidong arriving, he greeted him with a smile and enthusiasm. He served tea and water and ordered the cook to cook.

Lou's mother already knew about Lou Xiao'e's pregnancy. Looking at Jia Weidong, she was also the mother-in-law, and the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked her.

Lou Tan took the five sisters to chat in the living room, and Jia Weidong followed Lou Bancheng into the study.

"Weidong, I heard from Ezi that you are going to Xiangjiang again tomorrow?"

"Dad, I bought a thousand acres of land in Xiangjiang and plan to build a farm first."

Since Lou Xiao'e became pregnant, Jia Weidong omitted the word "gan" for godfather and godmother when calling Lou Bancheng and Lou Tan.

"Weidong, you are still studying and have a job, which is already good. Why are you so busy making money?" "Dad, I want to support Sister E and the children, and I want to give them the best life."

"Feed them? They have jobs and have hands and feet. It doesn't matter how much money you make, right?"

Will the money be useless?

No, you can live without anything, but you can’t live without money.

How can a poor man dare to enter the prosperous world? How can a breeze in his sleeves dare to mislead a beautiful woman?
It is true that it is easy to support several of my women now. As long as I give them a job, I don't even need to support myself.

Will you watch it again in ten or twenty years?
"Dad, although I have no pressure to raise Sister E and the others now, what if the situation changes in the future?"

"Weidong, do you mean the situation will change? Have you heard anything?"

Since the public-private partnership of the steel rolling mill, Lou Bancheng has been living on tenterhooks.It is impossible not to worry at all, otherwise Lou Xiaoe would not be allowed to marry Xu Damao.

"No, Dad, just like a child learning to walk, there will always be stumbles at the beginning. At the beginning of the replacement of the old with the new, there will always be some turbulence. You have to cross the river by feeling for the stones. However, this is just my personal guess and there is no basis for it. "

"A child walking? Crossing the river by feeling the stones?" Lou Bancheng muttered to himself.

"Dad, I think it would be good for you to go to Xiangjiang to develop. Xiangjiang is also China's territory. Going there is not considered a betrayal."

"This" Lou Bancheng fell into deep thought.

"I hope this old Taishan can be persuaded by me."

"I can't help but think of something I can do. Send Lou Xiao'e there first, and then ask the mother-in-law to take the children there. I'll see if you can go."

Not going yet?Then Lao Taishan, you can fend for yourself.

After lunch, Jia Weidong and the five sisters said goodbye and left the Lou family.

After returning home to pick up Banggan and Xiaodang, Jia Weidong drove a minivan straight to Qinjiadongzhuang Village to pay New Year's greetings to Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's parents.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Weidong's minivan stopped at the entrance of the Qin family's yard.

Because Jia Weidong drove a small truck here once before, there were much fewer people watching this time. However, Qin Jingru's family came to greet them after hearing the commotion.

After New Year greetings and some pleasantries, Qin Huairu urged Qin's mother and Sun Hongmei to work on dinner together. The second aunt and Qin Jingru's sister-in-law Fang Guiying also went to the kitchen to help.

The five sisters all knew that Jia Weidong would leave tomorrow morning and would definitely go back early in the evening.

In the evening, the Qin family set up two square tables in the main room. There was no way, there were too many people. The Qin family, the second uncle's family, and Jia Weidong's family, all the big and small tables were crowded.

"Weidong, I'm happy today. Let's have some drinks."

"Weidong, it's rare for you to come here except for the Chinese New Year. Come and have a drink with your second uncle."

Qin's father and second uncle both began to persuade him to drink.

"Uncle Dad, Second Uncle, I have to drive back in a while, so I can't drink."

"Weidong, why are you going back so late? It's a rare visit. I'll stay at home for one night and go back tomorrow."

"Uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, I have something to do early tomorrow morning, and I must go back in the evening. Why don't I let my sister-in-law and the others stay at home for one night?"

"Then drink less"

City people don’t have the concept of drinking and not driving, let alone country people.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu came up to help Jia Weidong:

"Dad, second uncle, Weidong has a habit - don't drink when driving, don't drive when drinking, let him have a drink with you the next time you have nothing to do."

Although Jia Weidong himself felt that it was okay for him to drink half a pound, he still did not drink. If Qin Huairu and the others went back with him, seven or eight people, large and small, would take their own car.

It can't be child's play.

After dinner, Jia Weidong stood up and said goodbye. Of course, the girls would not stay and said goodbye to the two families one after another.

The light of the minivan pierced the dark night sky and headed towards the city.
