Chapter 282: Did Not See It at First
After Su Danhong’s confinement period was completed, one month passed.
After Mother Su went home, she was given 100 yuan by Ji Jianyun to buy meat. Of course Mother Su refused to accept it. Her son-in-law had to pay a fine of 4,000. 4,000 was enough to buy a shop in town.
This was a lot of money, and money was already so tight. How could she have the guts to accept this money from him?
Besides, she had a lot of free time while taking care of her daughter in the past month. Her little grandson was very well-behaved and didn't make trouble at all. As long as he was comfortable, he would sometimes play by himself when he was awake, and would quickly fall asleep when he was tired.
As for diapers, her son-in-law bought a lot of them from the college town. They didn’t need to be washed. They could just throw them away after they were used. It was so convenient.
She was responsible for three meals a day and nothing else.
And during this month, she ate so well and she came back with some extra weight.
But Ji Jianyun still gave the money to her. He told her that he still had savings and she didn't need to worry about them. Then he drove away.
Mother Su just let him be.
At home, Su Danhong felt at ease and very comfortable. The weather was just right, and since she finished her confinement, she did not suffer at all.The third child’s name was Ji Xiang and his nickname was Xiangxiang.
It was Su Danhong who chose the name and the whole family didn't have any objections.
Little Xiangxiang became chubbier overtime. His little arms are so white and Qiqi liked to pinch him when he saw him. However, the child did not understand how to be gentle and ended up making Xiangxiang cry.
Renren gave him a lesson. “Brother is still young, why are you pinching him?”
“I didn't use any force and he cried like,” Qiqi said.
Renren said, “You've already pinched him until he’s red, and you’re still saying you didn't use any force?”
When Qiqi saw what he did, he was flustered. He apologized to his third brother, “Brother, I'm sorry. I, second brother, didn't mean it.”
But it was no use. Xiangxiang still cried. Qiqi was so frightened by the cries that he left his brother behind and let his mother take care of him. He ran to the orchard on the mountain to complain to his father.
“Younger brother is too squeamish. I accidentally pinched him, and he didn’t stop crying. Last time I beat Da Hou's brother, Da Hou's brother didn't even cry that loudly.” Qiqi said.
Ji Jianyun laughed. “How old is your brother? How old is Da Hou's brother?”
“He just loves to cry,” Qiqi complained.
“It will be better when he is older,” Ji Jianyun said with a smile.
“Then I want to sleep with you all tonight!” Qiqi demanded and included his younger brother.
“That won't work. If you come over to sleep with your parents, your older brother will have to sleep alone. Will you let your older brother sleep alone?” Ji Jianyun said.
“I don't care about him, he just tried to teach me a lesson,” Qiqi said.
Ji Jianyun said, “You did something wrong, so your older brother should teach you a lesson. He hasn't beaten you yet. Da Hou and the others all beat their younger brothers, but your brother has never beaten you.”
Usually it was the naughty second son who would hit his older brother, and his older brother didn’t fight back.
But despite Renren's gentle appearance, the last time he saw his brother fighting with other children, he immediately went to help and he was good at fighting.
Of course, this was what Ji Jianyun was thinking internally, but he had to maintain a teaching attitude externally.
Qiqi went silent.
Ji Jianyun said, “Then sleep with us tonight, but only tonight.”
“Okay!” Qiqi immediately became happy. He grinned, and said, “I’ll ask my brother to sleep with us!”
“That bed is not big enough,” Ji Jianyun said.
“It’s enough with how we slept last time,” Qiqi said.
“Okay then. What is your mom doing at home?” Ji Jianyun chatted with his son.
“Mom is making sesame cakes in the kitchen,” Qiqi said. He then got a little greedy and said, “I want to eat it.” But if he went down the mountain right now, his mother would definitely scold him.
“Go down with me later, and your mom will give some to you,” Ji Jianyun said.
He nodded, and then went to collect eggs with his dad.
The dad and son talked while collecting eggs. After they were done, they went to wash their hands. Ji Jianyun carried Qiqi on his back and they went down the mountain.
Along the way, Qiqi felt that his perspective on the world had changed. He must grow as tall as his dad in the future!
So after he came back, he ate sesame cake without hesitation. Not only did he eat the sesame cake, he asked his mother to heat up milk for him to drink.
Su Danhong made a cup for each of the brothers. After they had eaten and drank enough, she went into discipline mode.
“Did you just pinch your brother?” Su Danhong asked.
“I didn't mean it,” Qiqi said.
“Have you apologized to your brother?” Su Danhong asked another question.
“I’m sorry!” Qiqi said immediately.
“What will you not do next time?” Su Danhong looked at him and asked.
“I won't pinch him next time.” Qiqi whispered.
“Remember what you said. If you pinch your brother again next time, then you will be deprived of your afternoon snack,” Su Danhong said.
This punishment was so severe that Qiqi could only nod seriously, and then Su Danhong was satisfied.
She had no choice. This kid was too naughty, and he was not going to listen at all if she wasn’t serious.
As for Ji Jianyun, there was no hope. He would not get angry with the children unless they went too far. He only got angry like never before when Qiqi went to play in the water with the older children.
Xiangxiang had fallen asleep and forgot about what happened.
That night, Renren and Qiqi came over holding small pillows, and Su Danhong looked at her man helplessly.
This man was so good at spoiling their children that she had to play the role of a strict mother.
The family of five settled down to sleep. They talked on the bed before falling asleep.
Yuanyuan was taken back by Li Zhi two weeks before Su Danhong was due to give birth. His mother was in better health and Yuanyuan had grown up a lot. She was even attempting to stand up.
Li Zhi's mother praised Su Danhong for her child-rearing skills and noting how she nurtured her granddaughter to be fat and plump. Moreover, all the children under her care at that age were growing well and it was obvious that they were taught well.
So during Su Danhong’s confinement period, Li Zhi’s mother even brought eggs over.
Li Zhi also came while holding Yuanyuan in his arms. Yuanyuan wanted to cry a little when she saw her third aunt. The child was still young, but she was not that forgetful. She still remembered Su Danhong.
But in the end, she was a part of the Li family, so she had to go back to the Li family home.
Li Zhi's mother found a new match for him a while ago. The woman was honest and definitely would treat Yuanyuan well. She had already seen the woman, but Li Zhi did not agree and refused.
At this moment, he was not considering marriage. He had a daughter to support, so how could he marry?
Su Danhong felt that Li Zhi was hurt.
Meanwhile, Ji Jianyun felt that his judgment of Li Zhi was correct. He always thought Li Zhi was good, and it was clear he was right. As for his sister, she was unlucky. Good and bad people sometimes form relationships, but people of the same nature will eventually end up together.
