Accidentally entered a high gate

Ma Jingshan was relieved.

Ma Jingshan then chatted with Wang Jichuan about other things.

Not long after Ma Jingshan left Wang Jichuan's house, he saw his youngest son and granddaughter distributing roast duck to the children in the courtyard. The people in the courtyard often gave his granddaughter food, and they would also invite the children in the courtyard to their house for meals, or buy some treats to share with the children in the courtyard, like they were doing now.

Little Wanwan ran over to Ma Jingshan with a duck leg in her hand. "Grandpa, let's eat roast duck!"

Ma Jingshan patted Wanwan's little head. "Grandpa isn't eating. Grandpa's going back first. You can go back after you finish eating. Grandpa wants to test you to see if you remember what you learned yesterday."

"Okay." Xiao Wanwan tore a large piece of meat off the duck leg, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to Ma Jingshan.

Ma Jingshan had no choice but to eat it because his granddaughter insisted on giving it to him. "Alright, Grandpa ate it. Come back early after you finish eating."

"Um."

After Xiao Wanwan finished eating the roast duck and returned home, Ma Jingshan first tested her on what she had learned the day before, and then taught her some new material. Only then did he talk to Su Jingyu, Ma Lifeng, and Zheng Chunfang about Xiao Yanmin. "Besides thinking that Yanmin would starve to death if he stayed with them, the Chu family probably also wants Yanmin to live a normal life."

Su Jingyu, Ma Lifeng, and Zheng Chunfang were not surprised after hearing this. Because unless there is a problem, people generally cannot bear to abandon a boy.

Su Jingyu: "Since the higher-ups have agreed, let's just focus on recovering. As for the Chu family..."

Ma Jingshan also wanted to help the Chu family. However, "If Wanwan hadn't found Yanmin, it wouldn't have been a problem for us to find someone to take care of them. Now that Wanwan has brought Yanmin back, it's not easy for us to do anything."

"Sigh..." Su Jingyu sighed. "Now... sigh... well... let's raise them as twins from now on."

Ma Lifeng and Zheng Chunfang: "Okay."

The next day, Ma Lifeng took all the necessary documents to register Xiao Yanmin's household registration.

Zheng Chunfang also spoke to her superiors about Xiao Yanmin's situation. However, she didn't mention whose child Xiao Yanmin was.

Their leader was surprised. "Yan Bang is only a month old, and you've already adopted someone else's son?"

"There's no way around it, my daughter insists on raising her."

What family spoils their child so much? Especially a girl.

The supervisor felt Zheng Chunfang wasn't telling the truth. But he couldn't keep asking. "I knew it. By the way, your daughter should be starting kindergarten by now, right?"

"Yeah. I just wanted to save myself the trouble, so I let her stay at my in-laws' place. But then she brought me back someone even more troublesome."

"Hahaha... I understand. Once the formalities are completed, you can place him and Yan Bang in our company's daycare center."

"Thanks."

"It's alright. You're doing a good deed. If you have any difficulties, just let me know."

"No, no. You go ahead with your work, I'm going to get back to work."

"Okay. Please give my regards to your mother-in-law."

"Okay. You're busy."

"Um."

Ma Lifeng was no longer required to take care of the children. Now…

After breakfast, Ma Lifeng picked up Xiao Yanbang. "You little rascal, now you can enjoy the same treatment as your sister."

Ma Lifeng chose to hold Xiao Yanbang not because Xiao Yanbang was his biological son, but because Xiao Yanbang was heavier than Xiao Yanmin. Xiao Yanbang was chubbier than Xiao Yanmin at birth and was also more than a month older than him.

Xiao Yanbang couldn't understand what he was saying.

Xiao Yanbang felt that his embrace wasn't as comfortable as his mother's. "Ahhh..."

While making "ah ah" sounds, Xiao Yanbang raised his two chubby little hands and stretched them out towards Zheng Chunfang.

Zheng Chunfang took Xiao Yanbang from her. "I can carry him, you carry Yanmin."

"Alright." Ma Lifeng picked up Xiao Yanmin. "Don't rush back after get off work, I'll come pick you up."

"Okay. Dad, Mom, Wanwan, we're leaving."

Ma Jingshan and Su Jingyu: "Mm."

Little Wanwan waved her hand and said in her childish voice, "Go to work hard."

Ma Lifeng freed one hand and pinched Wanwan's chubby cheeks. "Don't imitate your grandfather's way of speaking. Your grandfather's way of speaking isn't very pleasing."

Ma Jingshan's eyes widened instantly. "Ma Xiaosan! Are you asking for a beating?"

"Hahahaha..." Ma Lifeng laughed as he carried Xiao Yanmin outside, "Wife, hurry up! If you don't leave, your man is going to get a beating."

Zheng Chunfang followed after him with a smile, carrying little Yanbang in her arms.

After they left, Su Jingyu looked at Ma Jingshan. "I don't think our little third sister is lazy at all."

"Hmph! I'm going to work. Wanwan, study hard."

"Um."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's been 1973.

Little Bowl is five years old (by Chinese reckoning).

Little Yanbang and Little Yanmin can walk now.

When Xiaowan first found Xiao Yanmin, he was thin and small. Now he's quite a chubby little boy.

Little Bowl had just come back from outside and was about to have a drink of water when a chubby little boy hugged her. "Jie Jie! Jie Jie! Jie Jie! Jie Jie..."

"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Let me have some water before we play again."

When Xiao Yanmin heard his sister say she wanted water, he started looking for his baby bottle.

Before he could find it, Xiao Yanbang came over with his baby bottle. "Sister, water."

Little Yanmin: "..." Brother is so amazing! "Jie Jie! Water water! Water water! Water water! Dede! Dede!"

Xiao Yanbang was a little annoyed that Xiao Yanmin was calling him "Dede" again. "Brother."

"Okay."

Xiao Yanbang: "..." Why can't I teach him? "Sigh..."

"Hahahaha..." Wanwan was amused by her two younger brothers.

On the other side, Ma Lifeng also smiled. "You want to borrow my house?"

"Okay. Anyway, just come back and rest for a while at noon."

"No."

The other party didn't expect Ma Lifeng to refuse so directly. "Why are you like this? You're only coming back for a short while at noon. If you want to rest, I can just save you a bed, right?"

Ma Lifeng: "..." It's true what they say, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. "I won't lend it."

"How...how could you do this?"

"What about me? Am I eyeing someone else's house? Or trying to take over someone else's house?"

"You..." The old woman was nearly furious. "You're just taking up space without doing your business! What... what are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!"

Chang Weihong had just finished eating and was about to take a nap when he heard his mother's voice.

Chang Weihong jumped out of bed in a flash. Damn it! Who dared to mess with his mother?

Chang Weihong put on his shoes and came out. As soon as he came out, he saw Ma Lifeng dragging his old mother toward him.

Chang Weihong: "..." My goodness! Of all people to mess with, why did you have to mess with him? Don't you know everyone in the factory fawns over him? "Mom, what did you do to Xiao Ma? Xiao Ma, my mother is uneducated, please don't take it to heart. Mom, quickly apologize to Xiao Ma."

Grandma Chang could hardly believe her ears! "What did you say?"

"I told you to apologize to Xiao Ma right now."

Grandma Chang: "..." What's wrong with her son? After he joined that... well, the factory manager was always very polite to him. "Son, are you overwhelmed with work?"

"I'm perfectly sober now. You should apologize to Xiao Ma right now."

Grandma Chang: "..." If you were sober, would you make me apologize to a little brat? "He's occupying the house but not living there!"

Chang Weihong knew why Ma Lifeng had dragged his mother in front of him. "Why isn't Xiao Ma staying here? Xiao Ma stays here every day. Xiao Ma, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Xiao Ma, you should go back and rest; you have to go to work this afternoon."

As Chang Weihong spoke, he pushed his mother into the house. "I'll treat you to drinks another day."

"Okay. You go ahead and do your work." With that, Ma Lifeng left.

Chang Weihong breathed a sigh of relief.

After Chang Weihong returned to the room, just as Old Mrs. Chang was about to say, "Why are you so cowardly?", Chang Weihong looked at her and said, "Mother, are you trying to kill me?"
