The family was going to welcome guests, so Zhan Aiping changed her daughter's bed sheets and quilt covers into clean and beautiful new ones. She warned the little one, "If you get them dirty again, I will only use military green sheets for you in the future."
There are a lot of military green sheets and quilt covers in the army. They are pure color, free of impurities, and durable.
Beautiful patterned sheets are expensive, so using old army green sheets will save you a lot of money.
Little Tangyuan nodded obediently: "I want a flowery bed sheet."
If the bed sheet is army green, painting on it will not bring out beautiful colors and will be monotonous.
Zhan Aiping said: "If you want flowery sheets, just be obedient."
"Mom, my brother wet the bed." Little Tangyuan secretly went to Zhan Aiping to tell the scoundrel, trying to shift the blame.
Why did mom only talk about her sheets and not my brother’s
Zhan Aiping: “…”
"Yuanyuan, how did you know?" Zhan Aiping squatted down and looked her daughter's beautiful big eyes level.
Little Tangyuan's eyes are clean and beautiful, and their obsidian pupils reveal a pure and innocent feeling.
Little Tangyuan came over and whispered in her mother's ear: "I found it quietly."
Zhan Aiping touched her daughter's hair and thought that Guo Bao Rou always said that her sister was stupid and foolish, and was a little fool.
I still don’t know who the real fool is in this family.
Their little Tangyuan seems to have a talent for being a scout.
"Discovered it quietly? Then don't make it public."
That would hurt my brother's reputation.
After Zhan Aiping comforted her daughter, she went to her son's sweet and sour pork room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw his neatly stacked sheets and quilts. Zhan Aiping stared at the neatly folded quilt on the bed, hesitating about how to lift it up.
She pulled the quilt away and saw a dried-up stain underneath, with clear and distinct lines.
Zhan Aiping: “…”
It's a good trick to cover up one's own mistakes.
Did he think no one would notice it? He might as well just take it down and wash the sheets.
When his mother found out that he wet the bed, Guo Bao Rou was so ashamed and angry: "I'm so smart, how could I wet the bed? I accidentally poured tea on it."
Zhan Aiping: "Just smell it yourself."
Even my own mother couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Is this clever? This is called being clever.
Now these sheets and quilt covers need to be washed and dried. I don’t know if the dried marks can be washed off. If they can’t be washed off... the map drawn by a little classmate will always be on it.
Little Tangyuan said proudly: "I won't wet the bed! Shame on you, brother!"
Although little Tangyuan scribbled on the bed sheets, she did not wet the bed.
Little Tangyuan hugged her mother's thigh and made a face at her brother's sweet and sour pork. She said to Zhan Aiping in a loud voice: "Mom, you cook for him!"
Pot-Boiled Pork subconsciously said: "I don't want it!"
Zhan Aiping had a terrible headache: "You still want to eat the food cooked by mom? Dream on! Mom is going to the cafeteria to get food today!"
You should be forced to eat in the cafeteria every day! You are spoiled!
When Gu Sheng came back in the evening, before he even stepped into the house, Captain Luo called him over and told him the truth: "Do you know where your wife went today?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Captain Luo winked and said, "Your wife has gone to the canteen to get food. You will have food to eat when you go back... You won't cook at home anymore?"
Captain Luo thought, Zhan Aiping has only been a good wife and mother for a few days, and now she is giving up? If she doesn't want to cook, she probably doesn't want to do other housework either.
Are the couple next door about to have a quarrel? !
Although his wife Zhang Lirong has a strange temper, at least she still cooks at home. This is because Zhang Lirong dislikes the taste of the big pot meals, and also dislikes the bad cooking of Captain Luo, so she cooks by herself.
Gu Sheng said: "My wife went to the cafeteria to get food?"
Captain Luo sighed, "She bought a lot. It's not late yet. Why doesn't she cook for herself? You are a lazy woman."
After the first time, there will be a second time, and the family next door will never have peace.
Gu Sheng said: "Then I will go back and take care of her."
Captain Luo was delighted. He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise. "Yes, yes, yes, this woman should be taken care of more."
Gu Sheng nodded and strode into the house. Captain Luo happily returned to his own yard. He hid in two small adjacent rooms, waiting to listen to the noise coming from the neighboring house.
Zhang Lirong frowned and looked at him: "What are you doing?"
"Shhhhh!" Captain Luo said, "I'm waiting to hear the quarrel next door."
Zhang Lirong's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The couple gathered together to eavesdrop, but after a long while they heard nothing, and then their son started crying.
Gu Sheng returned home. He went to the kitchen and found two lunch boxes filled with food. He touched his chin and smiled as he slid over to Zhan Aiping:
"My wife is really lazy today."
Zhan Aiping raised her eyelids, and without further explanation, she said directly, "Pack up and get ready for dinner."
Gu Sheng said with a hint of joking: "My wife is not only lazy, but also wastes money. She even bought new lunch boxes."
Zhan Aiping crossed her arms and said, "Our family has grown in number, so we bought two large lunch boxes so that it will be convenient for us to go to the canteen to get food in the future."
"Let's go eat."
Gu Sheng: "Wife, wait a minute, I will cook for you."
"What else can I do? I must have offended you again."
In the evening, the Gu family had dinner and split into two groups. Gu Sheng brought his two children to eat the food that Zhan Aiping brought back from the cafeteria, while Zhan Aiping ate alone in the private kitchen.
The aroma of freshly baked food was overwhelming, and Gu Sheng made two dishes for her.
Sweet and sour pork and small glutinous rice balls sat next to their father, who looked at them coldly. They were angry but dared not say anything. They felt aggrieved but ate their food obediently.
There are only vegetables and radishes. They are so pitiful. They are not little rabbits, so why should they only eat vegetables and radishes
The brother and sister ate with sad faces.
Gu Sheng said: "Eat it well!"
Zhan Aiping finished the meal by herself, and Gu Sheng took the children to wash the dishes. Finally, the couple was left alone in the room. Zhan Aiping combed her hair and asked, "How come the two children are so obedient in front of you?"
In front of their mother, they keep chattering and telling complaints to each other, but in front of their father, they are so quiet that they don't say much.
"What else could it be? These kids are very cunning. They bully the weak and only care about the strong."
Zhan Aiping raised her eyebrows: "You are hard and I am soft? Mom has a bad temper too, and I don't indulge them."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly: "Why don't you spoil them? How protective are you of your children?"
"They know that when mom is angry, she will be soft-hearted, but when dad is angry, he will not be soft-hearted."
Zhan Aiping said firmly: "I will not be soft-hearted either."
Gu Sheng hugged her from behind and whispered, "You worked so hard to carry these two children for ten months, how could you bear to give them up?"
Although Youyou and Yuanyuan are his biological children, he is their father and lacks the true blood connection with their children like a mother does.
Zhan Aiping said: "My mother is willing to do that. She beats me very hard, and she is partial to you, not me."
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "You are the one who is involved but the one who is watching clearly."
"My mother, she—" Zhan Aiping was suddenly choked. She paused for three seconds and finally stopped talking.
She originally wanted to say that her mother used old army green sheets for her when she was a child to save trouble, which was particularly excessive because other little girls had beautiful new sheets.
But judging from my daughter and son’s recent behavior, it seems like some broken memories have reappeared.
Zhan Aiping blushed and said, "... Hey, I found that my daughter really looks like me."
When she was a child, she just scribbled and howled.
Gu Sheng said: "I discovered it a long time ago."
Zhan Aiping turned to look at him: "Then I think my son is like you. When you were a child, did you also wet the bed secretly without letting the adults know?"
Gu Sheng denied calmly: "That's not the case."
Zhan Aiping stared at him intently: "Tell me the truth. I will remember to ask my mother-in-law next time I go back to her house."
She needs to write it down in a small notebook first.
Gu Sheng said: "She won't remember this kind of thing even if you ask her. Why are you asking this?"
"Your son wet the bed, and he tried to cover it up."
"I don't know whether to say he's awful or smart."
Zhan Aiping lay on top of him, looking down at him: "What problems did you have when you were a child? Tell me the truth. Have you seen the mirror over there? Your son is just like a mirror and will reflect your past truthfully."
Gu Sheng: "There is no leaf in this world that is the same as the other. The younger leaf is better than the older leaf."
Zhan Aiping blinked her eyes: "As long as it exists, it will be exposed."
Gu Sheng said: "Don't blame me for all your son's problems. He might be like you."
"You can never blame me for bed-wetting, because I'm just like your own daughter. I never wet the bed. If I wet the bed one day, I will definitely let everyone know and will never hide it."
After all, it is not uncommon for children to wet the bed. Many children have had this problem. Zhan Dapingping was a little kid when she was young. She never thought it was ugly. She even thought it was strange: Look! I can wet the bed!
Gu Sheng: “…”
"In order to cover it up, your son actually folded the quilt neatly!" Zhan Aiping admired her little sweet and sour pork's cleverness very much.
"Your alert daughter immediately discovered that he was hiding something and uncovered the truth."
Gu Sheng: “…”
"Your two sons and daughter are so smart that I don't dare to have a third child with you." Zhan Aiping touched her belly. Giving birth is like drawing cards. You don't know what card will come out.
Parents are like two card pools. When mixed together, what kind of card will be formed
Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Then let's not have any more children and just raise these two 'smart' children."
His wife is always entangled in this issue.
"I want to have a child who can sing and dance well." Although she didn't have anything, she hoped her child would have something. Zhan Aiping found that she was very curious about trying art when she was a child.
But she is not good at drawing, she is always out of tune when singing, and she is not good at dancing... the dancing teacher never chooses her.
"I'll change your son's bed sheets tomorrow, so don't leave a diaper picture there."
The sons and daughters in their family are both spendthrifts on bed sheets. If they do this again in the future, she will use her mother's old tricks.
Gu Sheng said: "I'm not going to visit your son and daughter's room."
Gu Sheng didn't have much contact with Xie Wan and Qin Lu, and had even less connection with them when they grew up. He didn't understand why his wife was so serious.
Zhan Aiping felt melancholy, "At least we can't embarrass ourselves. Qin Lu is going to bring her daughter here, and I'm afraid I'll envy her child. The child will look like her mother, and will surely be as talented as she was when she was little."
