80s Raising a Baby

Chapter 274 Chapter 274: Being Surrounded
When Chen Zhongwu heard that he was looking for him, he put down his chopsticks, got up and walked over.

As soon as she walked over, she saw Xiulian's husband carrying a basket of fruit and looking at her obsequiously.

"Director Chen."

Chen Zhongwu walked over and patted Wangcai on the head to make him leave, then looked at Xiulian and her husband and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiulian's husband put the fruit in front of Chen Zhongwu, "Director, I was on a business trip a while ago, and only after I came back did I realize that my wife and sister-in-law are not happy."

"You also know that she is from the country. She can't tell right from wrong, has no discernment, and has made my sister-in-law angry. I'm here today to apologize to my sister-in-law."

Hearing what he said, Chen Zhongwu smiled generously, "Your sister-in-law won't take this trivial matter to heart, you take it back and give it to the children."

"I still have this fruit at home. I'll keep this fruit." Xiulian's husband put down his things and left.

Chen Zhongwu looked at the fruit placed at the door, his face darkened, "Jingli!"

When Jing Li heard the call, she quickly put down her chopsticks and came over, "Dad, what's the matter."

Chen Zhongwu: "Send the fruit back to the neighbor."

His job is special, and there are many people in the family courtyard who talk a lot. If someone saw ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly.

Jing Li looked at the fruit basket on the ground and didn't ask much, picked it up and went to the next door.

The neighbor next door was not peaceful at this time, Xiulian watched her man come back empty-handed, and muttered angrily: "Isn't Director Chen the most honest, what's the matter, he even accepts a fruit basket, and he is not afraid of others gossiping."

"I see crows in the world, they are generally black, and they are not good things."

As soon as Xiulian's husband entered the door, Xiulian yelled at her so angrily and said with a livid face, "Shut up! If it weren't for you, I would be licking my face and apologizing to others."

"You can buy fruit baskets for people, look at this yard, if anyone doesn't curry favor with them, you are the only one who offends others."

Xiulian: "Who offended her? She looked down on me."

Xiulian's husband: "Okay, I don't know you yet."

"My mother will come over in two days, and you will listen to her when the time comes."

Xiulian was dumbfounded when she heard that, "What? What are you talking about?"

"Your mother wants to come, I don't agree."

Xiulian's husband: "This matter is not up to you."

Just when Xiulian was about to quarrel with her man, the door suddenly rang.

"Who is it?" Xiulian asked angrily.

Jing Li: "Auntie, I'm Jing Li, please open the door."

After hearing this, Xiulian walked toward the door angrily.

He opened the door and looked at Jing Li and asked, "What are you doing here!"

Jing Li replied with a smile on her face: "Auntie, my father asked me to bring this back, and asked you to keep it for the children to eat."

Xiulian looked at the basket of fruit and replied with some coyness: "Then...then I won't be polite." Then she took it.

Seeing that she picked it up, Jing Li smiled and turned to go home.

As soon as she left, Xiulian's husband came out, and when he saw the fruit basket in her hand, he almost died of anger, and wanted his mother to come over no matter what, Xiulian got angry and quarreled with him again.

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Qian still had no plans to come back this week. The three children had no choice but to leave school and buy vegetables and cook by themselves.

When I was walking home after shopping for vegetables that day, I heard the sound of jingling bells behind me.

The three children looked back and saw Tian Dabao dressed like a human being riding a bicycle behind them.

"Uncle."

Tian Dabao: "Why are you three shopping for vegetables, and where is my sister?"

Jing Hui: "My mother is not at home."

Tian Dabao was taken aback: "What did your mother do?"

Jing Hui: "My mother has gone to the capital."

Tian Dabao: "When will she come back?"

Jing Hui: "I didn't say anything."

Tian Dabao hesitated for a while and asked, "Is your dad coming back today?"

Jing Li: "You should come back, uncle, do you have anything to do with my dad?"

Tian Dabao: "There is something wrong."

"Give me the food, and I'll bring it to you."

Jing Cheng was not polite when he heard it, and passed the food directly.

Tian Dabao took the vegetables and hung them on the handlebar, looked at Jing Hui and said, "Shall I carry you?"

Jing Hui nodded after thinking about it, and climbed onto the back seat.

"Let's go first and wait for you in the courtyard." Tian Dabao took Jing Hui away after finishing speaking.

Leaving Jingcheng and Jing Li behind, Jing Cheng looked at Jing Li and asked, "How is it? Is there anyone still bullying you?"

Jing Li glanced at Jing Cheng: "Thanks to you, there are none for now."

Jing Cheng: "If someone dares to bully you, just tell me, don't be embarrassed."

Jing Li: "Everyone gets along very happily."

Jing Cheng: "That's good."

The two of them walked home while saying this, and Tian Dabao was already waiting at the door with Jing Hui.

Surrounded by aunts watching the excitement, as soon as they saw Jing Li and Jing Cheng coming back, they immediately asked curiously, "Jing Li, who is that person?"

Jing Li glanced at Tian Dabao, and replied suspiciously, "My uncle."

Auntie: "No wonder, I just said that Jing Cheng looks a bit like him, so it's your uncle!"

"Does your uncle have a date?"

Jing Li shook her head: "No."

The aunt burst into a smile when she heard it, "No! That's good, that's good."

When Jing Li was still in the dark, Jing Cheng grabbed her by the side, "Uncle is still waiting, let's go back!"

Jing Li said hello and left with Jing Cheng.

"What do they mean?"

Jing Cheng gave Jing Li an angry look, "You really are a nerd, you didn't see that they wanted to talk to my uncle."

Jing Li was a little surprised, "Ah!"

Jing Cheng: "Are you stupid or not, look at how handsome my uncle is dressed today."

When Tian Dabao worked with Boss Chen in the past, he wore rough clothes and an unshaven beard all day long. Today, he wears a long windbreaker, leather shoes, and his hair is neatly combed. He looks like a good-motivated young man.

Moreover, Tian Dabao is not bad in height, so Jing Cheng is a little bit along with him.

Jing Li: "I didn't expect my uncle to become a favorite."

Tian Dabao sat at the door with Jinghui in his arms, impatient with being stared at by everyone, and seeing the siblings still muttering behind him, he urged, "Hurry up, both of you."

Only then did Jingli realize that she forgot to give them the keys, so she hurried over to open the door and let them in.

Tian Dabao couldn't help muttering as soon as he entered the door: "There are no people in your courtyard! You can't stop staring at people."

Jing Cheng: "It's not that you are so good-looking."

Tian Dabao: "You kid."

"Your parents are not at home, who will cook?"

Jing Cheng: "Let's do it!"

Tian Dabao took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves and said, "I'll come!"

Jing Cheng looked at him suspiciously: "Would you know it?"

Everyone knows what kind of children Tian Dabao was raised by Mrs. Tian.

Tian Dabao: "I have nothing to do at home these few days, and I just learned something. Let me give you a try."

Seeing Tian Dabao's eagerness to try, Jing Li said hesitantly, "Uncle, why don't we come?"
