In the blink of an eye, it’s March 1987, and spring plowing is about to begin again.
Ten-year-old Li Weihao, nine-and-a-half-year-old Li Weiyan, eight-and-a-half-year-old Li Weibo and Chen Fu are already in the second semester of second grade.
Li's mother works full-time as a cook for her three grandchildren and one grandson in the county town.
I live in a yard bought by my younger son, not far from my eldest daughter-in-law’s natal home.
If something happens, I can help over there. Yanyan can also go back to his grandpa's house and continue practicing martial arts.
Every winter and summer vacation, one old man and four children were taken back to Kushan by small car.
…
Grandma took her four brothers to the county seat again.
Li Weili roped in her cousins Chen An and Li Weiyu to give her mother advice.
"We are six years old, why are we not allowed to go to school?"
"The school will enroll students in the second half of the year, that is, after the summer vacation. Are you sure you want to go to school this year?"
Li Weili moved her left and right hands, and the two who were held by her left and right hands nodded hurriedly.
"Little aunt (little aunt), we also have to go to school."
Tian Jing glanced at her daughter and said, "Well, you go to the great-grandpa at the east end of the village for preschool education first."
Li Weili wanted to regret it, but her mother stopped her with one word.
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase. Unless you admit that you are making trouble unreasonably."
After throwing the three noisy ones into the courtyard to add some fun to the lonely grandpa, Tian Jing took her young son to leisurely raise seedlings in the east side house.
"Tian Jing."
Ouyang Meihua rushed in and was about to enter the main room when she saw the door to the east was open.
She stepped into the east side room and said, "Quick, hurry up and watch the fun."
"What's the excitement?"
Seeing that Tian Jing was not interested, Ouyang Meihua picked up the well-behaved Ranran and walked out.
"Hurry up, Lin Erlai and Fang Qiuhong are back."
Coming back now?
Only two and a half years, right?
If we deduct the weekends for three years, it seems to be about the same.
Go and have a look.
When Tian Jing and Ouyang Meihua arrived, Lin Erlai's door was surrounded by villagers.
Lexia waved to the two people.
The two people took the baby into Lin Guangde's courtyard.
Tian Jing held Ran Ran, Ouyang Meihua held Le Xia, and the three adults and one child stood on the wall separating Lin Erlai's house.
Excellent viewing angle.
I saw Fang Qiuhong pushing Lin Er.
"You heartless person, I have given birth to three babies for you, and you just want to divorce me. Why?"
"I can't settle accounts with you inside, but you can't get rid of me when you come out."
Lin Erlai changed, became silent, and his temperament became steady.
On the other hand, Fang Qiuhong became more impetuous and domineering.
Lin Erlai blocked the courtyard door and refused to allow her to enter, "Please respect yourself, we are already two families."
"Nonsense, I didn't agree to the divorce. You forced me to divorce."
"If I don't get a divorce, Hua'er and Duo'er will be abused by you. You are not worthy of being a mother, so get out of here."
Seeing Lin Erlai's anger, Fang Qiuhong changed her strategy, "I have learned legal knowledge for two and a half years, and I will never treat them badly again."
Lin Erlai did not let go, "The damage has been done, can you just admit your mistake? As long as you stay away from them."
Unable to win over Lin Erlai, Fang Qiuhong started to make nonsense, "Tell me, is it because you have another woman that you don't want to accept me again?"
Lin Erlai became impatient, "Can you stop talking nonsense? We went out together today, and you were always following me."
"If you come back, I won't have custody of Hua'er Duo'er. What are you talking about?"
Fang Qiuhong's eyes lit up, "It's just right. We don't want those two losers. Let's get a birth certificate and give birth to another baby. I have a hunch that this time it will be a boy."
Fang Qiuhong's words not only chilled the villagers, but also chilled Lin Hua'er and Lin Duo'er, who were led by their second uncle and stood aside watching.
Lin Guangde came over with his two nieces and nephews, "Secondly, I can afford to raise these two nieces. As long as you give up all your rights, we will go through the adoption procedures right now."
Lin Erlai refused, "I don't, Hua Erduo'er is my daughter."
Lin Guangde pointed to the two girls beside him, "Look at their changes in the past two years and think about what they were like before. Are you qualified to be a father?"
"Look at how indecisive you are now, don't ask me to sue you again."
Nine-year-old Lin Hua'er is no longer the thin and timid look she once was. She is better looking than the average rural girl. In addition, she has inherited Fang Qiuhong's white skin, and is now a beautiful girl.
Three-and-a-half-year-old Lin Duo'er is smaller than her peers, but she looks very cute, with a rosy little chubby face.
Fang Qiuhong also looked back. When she looked back, she was surprised that her two daughters were very good-looking.
She hurriedly walked towards the two girls and said, "No, these are my daughters."
"Get out!" Lin Guangde angrily yelled at Fang Qiuhong, who was walking over.
"Don't forget, your guardianship has been revoked. At that time, I kept it out of kindness."
"Now, I regret it. Lin Erlai, are you a man?"
After his second uncle said that, would Lin Erlai still dare to nag him? If he nags him any more, he will no longer be a man.
He rushed to Fang Qiuhong, "Fang Qiuhong, leave Kushanli as soon as possible. If you dare to make trouble again, I will call the police. You harass me and act like a hooligan to me. I tell you to continue to stay in there."
Hooliganism is not only committed by men, but also by women.
Fang Qiuhong learned legal knowledge, and Lin Erlai also learned it.
Fang Qiuhong pointed at Lin Erlai, "You're cruel, just wait, I won't let you go easily."
Lin Erlai replied disdainfully, "Besides looking for your uncle, do you have any other options? Your uncle has only been out for half a year, right? He was expelled as soon as he entered."
"This is why you cling to me and don't dare to go back to your parents' home."
"snort!"
Fang Qiuhong didn't even look back, "I will find a way to cure you."
The excitement was gone and the villagers dispersed.
Lin Erlai wanted to get close to his two daughters.
Lin Hua'er backed away, "We don't want to come back, we want to follow my second uncle."
"flower?"
Lin Erlai asked in disbelief: "Did Dad treat you badly?"
"not good."
Lin Hua'er shook her head, "Compared with my mother, I was better before. But, the life we lived at my second uncle's house was just a life."
"I already understand that you are as selfish and vicious as my mother. Even if I am three years old and should help with housework, what about Duo'er?"
"Can't you see what Mom did to Duo'er? You saw it, but you just didn't say anything. Because you also want Duo'er to be gone, so that you can continue to have boys."
"You are too terrible. I dare not go back. I am afraid that in a few years, you will marry us casually for a high bride price."
"We don't want to go back, we don't want a father like you."
While Lin Erlai was stunned, Lin Huaer took her sister and hid in the courtyard of her second uncle's house.
Lin Guangde shook his head and sighed, "Secondly, it wasn't just Fang Qiuhong's behavior that hurt my heart, your actions did the same."
"When your child is young, you can trick her into not understanding. When she grows up, she will understand."
"Parents, don't deceive yourself, let alone your children."
Tian Jing and others had already jumped off the wall when Lin Hua'er entered the yard.
She pulled Ouyang Meihua and prepared to leave. This was an internal matter of the Lin family and had nothing to do with her.
But she saw that the fifth daughter-in-law secretly glared at Lin Hua'er and Lin Duo'er just now.
Ouyang Meihua also saw it, but she was unwilling to leave, "Lin Guangde, your fifth daughter-in-law has not been married well."
"If you want to keep Hua Duo'er, you should divide the family. Otherwise, the two children will still not be able to grow up in a healthy family."
Tian Jing pulled her and said, "Come on, you have finished saying what should be said and what should not be said."
