At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

"Fine, I won't eat the milk candy, but I'm in a sugar debt now."

After saying this with a wry smile, Yi Zhonghai put her down.

"With that mouth of hers, she'll be able to coax you into selling your heart sooner or later."

Tan Xiulian said with a laugh.

"I'd be happy to."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"Dingya, give them one, then wash their hands and eat. Save the rest for tomorrow."

Tan Xiulian gave the order.

As the time spent raising children increases...

She gradually developed the authority of a "mother".

After all, there are so many children.

If there isn't a dignified person in the family to keep things in check.

It's completely uncontrollable.

Yi Zhongding nodded, telling them to eat first, and went to help carry the food into the house.

Steamed buns, cornbread, rice, stir-fried greens, and stir-fried radishes.

Gone.

Most of the time, this is what they eat.

The only time Yi Zhonghai has a day off is on weekends.

The whole family would only eat meat once a year.

But their standard of living is already much better than that of most families in the compound.

We've eaten.

Yi Zhonghua led his two younger sisters to help their sister-in-law wash the dishes.

The other four are still too young.

Tan Xiulian wouldn't let them into the kitchen.

Otherwise, not only will you make things worse, but you might also break a few bowls.

Yi Zhongding, on the other hand, brewed tea and drank it with his elder brother.

The teapot was broken by Zhongren.

He can only use a teacup now.

"Dingya, look, when I went to the neighborhood committee today, Director Zhang took us to the district office to get the documents."

"Hey, we were just saying we'd buy it, but who would have thought the government would be so generous and just give it to us?"

"From today onwards, that piece of land belongs to our family. This is all thanks to you; you saved our family over a thousand."

"At my current level 6 worker salary of 72 yuan a month, it would take me a year and a half to earn that without eating or drinking."

Yi Zhonghai placed the documents on the table, tapped them with his finger, making the table rattle.

Yi Zhongding picked it up and looked at it; there were two.

One construction permit and one land use right certificate.

It does indeed encompass the entire wasteland of the east courtyard.

With this thing, he felt at ease.

"Then we can find a construction team to start building, and we can move in by the end of the year."

"Today I saw that the city wall, the gate towers of Chaoyang Gate and Fucheng Gate, are being dismantled section by section. The bricks of that city wall are all good stuff."

"I see a lot of people moving back home there, so we can move back and build houses."

Yi Zhongding finished looking at the documents and said.

"Hmm, you're right. Since we've made up our minds, let's not waste any more time."

"I have a coworker in my factory whose cousin has been working in construction for decades. I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask him to come and take a look at the place."

"The institute needs to give a heads-up. Let's choose a time when the announcement is published in the newspaper. It's a festive occasion, and it's a national award, so they won't dare to say anything."

Yi Zhonghai nodded without hesitation.

The two were chatting.

Then I heard my sister-in-law shouting, "Dingya, hurry up and take these two little troublemakers back home, they can't get any work done!"

Yi Zhongding ran to the kitchen and took a look.

Okay.

Yao Yao and Miao Miao are practically treating this place like a battlefield.

The splashing water from their water fight made the whole kitchen wet.

The two of them were still laughing heartily.

Tan Xiulian was both annoyed and amused.

He was also holding a bamboo strip about the length of his forearm.

Judging from its appearance, it looks like a broken bamboo strip from a bamboo scrubber used for washing pots.

But she waved the small bamboo stick in the air for most of the day.

Let alone dust.

I didn't even touch it.

No wonder the two little ones weren't afraid at all, didn't run away, and even smiled at her.

Yi Zhonghua, on the other hand, squatted helplessly to the side, wiping the water droplets from his face with his small hands.

"These two little rascals are causing trouble here, they want a beating, don't they?"

Yi Zhongding chuckled and pulled the two of them out, giving each of them a light tap on their bottoms.

Then I took a clean washcloth and dried their hair and faces.

"I'm helping my sister-in-law wash the dishes."

Yao Yao said emphatically.

"No, we were having a water fight. I started it."

Miaomiao puffed out her little chest, looking quite proud.

"I asked you to help your sister-in-law wash the dishes, and you went off to have a water fight. You're quite honest, aren't you?"

Yi Zhongding was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This little girl is so lazy that she can't even be bothered with polite conversation.

"So, are you done washing?"

Miao Miao lowered her head in embarrassment.

He clearly realized he had made a mistake.

"Alright, let's go. You're all soaking wet. I'll take you to change your clothes."

"Let me tell you, when you get a little older, you'll have to wash your own clothes. Let's see if you're still dirty then."

Yi Zhongding shrugged helplessly.

"Can we have a water fight while doing laundry?"

Miao Miao raised her little face and asked earnestly.

"Hey, I've noticed you're quite interested in war, so why are you usually so lazy?"

"With your personality, I'm afraid you wouldn't even bother dodging bullets on the battlefield."

Yi Zhongding was a little puzzled about what kind of brain circuit this little girl had.

"No, I don't like fighting, but water fights are fun, Guoguo. The water splashes in the air, it looks so pretty."

Miao Miao shook her head, tugged at his sleeve, and waited until their eyes met before speaking seriously.

"So you like riding a big horse and fighting with Yao Yao?"

Yi Zhongding asked again.

"That's Guoguo playing with me. I like Guoguo."

Miao Miao blinked her big eyes and said in a clear, crisp voice.

"I like Guoguo too."

Yao Yao raised her little hand and shouted from the side.

"You two little girls are both so good at sweet-talking."

"From this day forward, no one within a hundred miles is allowed to have yellow hair."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhongding suddenly felt his eyes well up with tears.

All the hardships of becoming a stay-at-home dad after transmigrating vanished at this moment.

The last sentence was originally in my mind, but I blurted it out unconsciously.

"Yellow hair? Guoguo, I saw it when my sister-in-law took me to buy candy the other day. She said it was a foreigner, so why can't there be blond hair?"

Miaomiao bit her finger and asked curiously.

"Because blond-haired people like to bully others, those foreign devils bully us Chinese."

Yi Zhongding said earnestly.

"Okay, fine, then I'll beat up that blond guy every time I see him!"

Yao Yao waved her little fists, looking both cute and fierce, which was absolutely adorable.

"You're just a kid, you can't beat the blond guy, let the older brother do it."

Miao Miao thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up. She pointed to Yi Zhonghai, who had just walked out and was standing at the door, smiling at the three of them.

"What? Why are you hitting that blond guy? He's bullying you guys, big brother, let's beat him up for you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.

Guoguo said that foreign devils are bullying Chinese people and that we should beat them up.

Miao Miao ran up to him and said in a clear, crisp voice.

"Stop hitting me. First, make sure you call me 'brother' correctly. Let's go change our clothes."

Yi Zhongding said with a laugh.

"Okay, go change your clothes first. You tell me who to beat up, and I'll go beat him up."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and patted her head, coaxing her with a few words.
