NOVPUBZheng Yaozu chuckled and said, “Aren’t I just joking?” 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Well, Lin Lan was not joking. She tied the cloth in front of the bike and stacked Haonan’s rations, clothes and toys above. Then, she had the two children sit in the back seat together. Haonan hugged Xiaowang from behind and tied him up with a cloth to prevent him from falling down.
Old Lady Zheng had already begun to shed tears from extreme distress. It was pretty ironic since it appeared as if her grandson was going to be tortured, especially with how Haonan kept urging Lin Lan to hurry up.
Lin Lan waved her hands towards them, “Let’s go, don’t think about it anymore,” She rode her bicycle and left.
Old Lady Zheng trotted to catch up and kept shouting, “Haonan, if you miss me, please ask your Fourth Aunt to bring you back. Little Fourth Aunt, please ride slowly and watch the child.”
Haonan didn’t care at all as he just laughed, entirely happy to go out and play.
Old Lady Zheng turned around and looked at Lin Mei’s gloating look before she stamped her foot, “And you say you’re the child’s mother? For those who didn’t know better, they’d think you were a stepmother.”
Lin Mei rolled her eyes, “Isn’t Haonan your son?” Pointing at Zheng Yaozu, “Or isn’t that your son?”
Old Lady Zheng really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “You sneaky child, daring to mess around with me now. Forget it, I’ll just go and visit in a day or two…”
“Stop!” Lin Mei said, “No one is allowed to go! Just let him stay for a few days. I gave him enough food for the duration, so he can just return when the rations are finished,” After that, she went to discuss what Lin Lan had mentioned.
As soon as she left, Zheng Yaozu gestured to his mother and added, “Mom, she practically gave Haonan half a bag of food, which is enough to last for a while.”
Aiya, my poor old soul can’t take it.
Everyone knew that Director Han was very powerful. Even his own sons were whipped with a whip, which was personally experienced by both Dawang and Sanwang!
Old Lady Zheng began to cry for her sweetheart again, “My little sweet treasure is most definitely going to suffer, I pray he won’t be beaten up.”
(T/N: Any spelling errors from Haonan is intentionally done since he tends to pronounce everything in a child-like manner/ he doesn’t know better)
When Lin Lan brought Haonan and Xiaowang home, it was still not that late. Coincidentally, it was about time to start cooking for lunch.
In broad daylight, the younger children would always choose to play with friends, never really wanting to return home. But Haonan and Xiaowang held hands before they went to the vegetable garden with small baskets to harvest the vegetables and catch grasshoppers.
Lin Lan caught a few big grasshoppers and dressed them in green foxtail for them to play with.
When they returned home from harvesting vegetables, the children had already finished their morning lessons in school. Seeing Haonan here, they all looked at him in surprise.
“Haonan, you plan to live here by yourself? You don’t want to go home?” Sanwang asked him.
Haonan, “No~”.
Here, with so many elder siblings, things seemed to be a lot more fun. With that, Haonan didn’t want to go home at all.
