70s: Raising a Baby

When the family was having breakfast in the morning, Ye Jinzhi waited for everyone to finish eating and announced something.

"Mom and Dad have decided that we need to move." As soon as the words came out, the children's eyes widened with confusion on their faces.

In fact, Ye Jinzhi and the others had not planned to move. After all, it was not far from the military area, and Yuan Shaochen could drive, and it would take about half an hour to get home.

But what happened last night made them realize some problems. The older children are better off. They have been taught by Father Ye since they were young. Even if he loves them, he will not spoil them.

And later I moved to the military compound. Although I didn't live there for a long time, I still learned a lot subtly.

But only Ayan, although he also lived in the military compound when he was young, he was too young at that time and didn't know it at all.

Now that Ayan is like this, they all have a lot to do with it, and they have unavoidable responsibilities.

Ye Jinzhi had no other choice. She was busy with work now, and it was impossible for her to stay at home and take care of him every day.

The best plan is for them to move to a large courtyard, hoping that this can subtly change his personality.

"Then are we going to change schools?" Azhao saw that several of his younger brothers were silent. He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Ye Jinzhi nodded. She also knew that the sudden transfer of schools would have an impact on them to some extent, but there was no way. Ayan could still correct it now that he was still young, but it would be difficult to change it when he was older.

Ayan has become accustomed to the fact that as long as he acts coquettishly, everyone will follow him and there is nothing they can do against him.

If they move to the compound, even if Ye Jinzhi is busy with work, Yuan Shaochen will be close, and Yuan Shaochen can often take care of more.

"Then when will we move?" Azhao may have been used to moving, but he was just surprised and quickly accepted it.

Moreover, he is only in the first year of junior high school and has just made contact with the classmates in the class, so he does not have deep feelings.

But the two twins are different. They are already in fourth grade. They will graduate in another year, and they are all familiar with their classmates.

It was a bit hard to accept that they should transfer to another school all at once. The two children sat there in silence, looking at Ye Jinzhi.

"Mom, I don't want to move, can we not move?" Ah Xu was already crying, and Ye Jinzhi felt uncomfortable hearing it.

She knew that this was a bit difficult for them to accept. The last time they moved, they had only been in contact with the children for about a year, and they were very reluctant to let go.

"But dad can't come back every day. Can Ah Xu bear to see dad living alone?" Ye Jinzhi told him a little lie.

Ah Xu didn't speak. He had been soft-hearted since he was a child. What Ye Jinzhi said made him a little shaken.

"Don't cry. Ah Xu, I would like to ask my mother to bring you back to live with me after the holidays." Ye Jinzhi helped him wipe away his tears.

Ah Xu's eyelids moved and he didn't speak, but Ye Jinzhi knew that he was about to succeed.

Keep up the good work and add another fire.

"When we move, Ah Xu can still see brother Qin Rong, brother Yuanyuan and the others. Doesn't Ah Xu like my brother and the others very much?"

"Really?" Ah Xu raised his eyes, somewhat disbelieving.

Ye Jinzhi nodded, "Of course, and we are very close to Grandpa Zhou. We can visit Grandpa Zhou often. Doesn't Ah Xu feel that Grandpa Zhou is lonely? If we move here, we can spend more time with Grandpa Zhou."

In fact, it is very convenient to move there. Unlike here, because it is a courtyard house, not only are there few people living there, but also everyone has rarely met each other.

If you move to the compound, people like Qin Zheng and his family live there, and Uncle Zhou also lives in the government compound opposite, and there are many familiar people around him.

Ah Xu reluctantly nodded in agreement.

At this table, the only one who didn't respond was Ayan. He hasn't gone to school yet and has no friends of the same age here.

Ye Jinzhi also took this into consideration when he moved there. Ayan had almost no contact with his peers.

Because of the previous movement, most of the surrounding courtyard houses were taken away by the government and given to ordinary people.

It was only later that the Siheyuan was rehabilitated and the Siheyuan was returned to its original owner. However, the Siheyuan had been ruined by people in those years. When those people came back and saw that their homes had become like this, they were unwilling to live in them. Even if they did, they would not live in them. It's an older person.

Only the Ye family and a few other houses in the surrounding area were not harmed. Ayan grew up in this square world as long as he could remember, and rarely came into contact with children of the same age.

This is something Ye Jinzhi never expected when he moved here. Children who don't interact with the outside world are just like canaries locked in a cage.

In the past, Ye Jinzhi didn't understand why his brothers came back, but Ayan was so happy that they would meet tomorrow.

It wasn't until last night that Ye Jinzhi stayed up all night and was reflecting, that he was shocked to realize that she had ignored so much.

Ye Jinzhi winked at Yuan Shaochen, and Yuan Shaochen knew what she was going to do when he saw her expression.

"Let's go, let's take you to do military boxing." He took the children away, leaving Ye Jinzhi and Ayan alone.

"Ayan, come to mom." Ye Jinzhi stood not far away and called him.

Ayan was still sulking, but Ye Jinzhi noticed it when he was eating breakfast. He kept a bulging face and didn't talk to anyone.

However, when Ye Jinzhi saw his father taking his brother out to play, he caught a hint of desire in his eyes, and his heart suddenly throbbed.

So when Ye Jinzhi called him, he rushed into Ye Jinzhi's arms without any hesitation.

"Mom." As soon as Ye Jinzhi hugged him, he heard his uncontrollable crying.

"Mom, give me a hug." He picked him up and walked to the living room.

"Don't cry, mom is here, don't cry anymore." When Ye Jinzhi said this, Ayan cried even harder.

Burying his face in her shoulder, Ye Jinzhi felt that his shoulders were soaked with tears.

Ye Jinzhi gently stroked his back up and down, whispering comfort.

After a long time, Ayan slowly stopped crying, but he was also sweating all over.

Ye Jinzhi ignored talking to him and went to get a wet towel to help him wipe his body.

Otherwise, his body would be sticky and uncomfortable, so Ayan would let his mother wipe his sweat while hiccupping.

"Stop crying, our Ayan is wronged, isn't he?" Ye Jinzhi thought so much last night, and then thought about why Ayan insisted on taking the car with him last night.

Maybe Ayan also longs to make good friends in his heart. Taking this car with him will attract a lot of children.

"Mom, hiccup, mom." Ayan kept calling Ye Jinzhi, still feeling sad.

Ye Jinzhi also kept responding, "Mom is here, mom is here."

"Ayan, do you want to move? There are many children in our new home. Ayan can make many children there."

His hair was wet from crying and stuck to his forehead. Ye Jinzhi helped him spread it and used a fan to fan him.

"Yes." Ayan nodded heavily and leaned into Ye Jinzhi's arms without speaking.

"Mom, please try to spend more time with you in the future." Seeing how well-behaved he was, something in Ye Jinzhi's heart instantly softened.

Ayan didn't say anything, but grabbed Ye Jinzhi's clothes and fiddled with them.

After a while, Ye Jinzhi thought he had stopped talking, and said softly in her arms, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Ye Jinzhi was silent for a moment. She didn't expect him to say this. It was completely beyond her expectation.

"I shouldn't be naughty and make dad angry."

Ye Jinzhi lowered his head and saw Ayan looking at her with his head held high. Seeing her lower her head, her eyelids trembled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ba." Ye Jinzhi lowered his head and kissed him hard on the forehead.

This was so unexpected to her, she never thought he would take the initiative to apologize.

Ayan watched his mother kiss him, his little face that had never been smiling, pursed his lips and smiled, his little face turned red, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"It's okay, mom forgives you, but Ayan wants to tell dad himself, okay?"

Ayan was a little embarrassed after hearing what his mother said, he was afraid.

Ye Jinzhi knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and touched his head to reassure him.

"Don't be afraid, Dad loves you too, but he is too embarrassed to speak. Can we, Ayan, be more generous and apologize to Dad?"

Although Ayan was a little scared, when he heard his mother's encouragement to him, he nodded slowly under Ye Jinzhi's gaze.

"Let's go, dad is over there." Ye Jinzhi led him to find Yuan Shaochen.

Yuan Shaochen and the others found a shady place, and several children were practicing the moves given to him by Yuan Shaochen.

"Here, dad is there." Ye Jinzhi stood at the door with Ayan.

"Mom." Ayan hesitated when he saw that his mother didn't go in with him.

It happened that Yuan Shaochen happened to look over, and Ye Jinzhi waved to him, indicating him to come over.

"Then mom is here, okay? Ayan can go tell dad himself." Ye Jinzhi said next to him.

Ayan looked up and saw that his father had come over and his mother was beside him again, "Yeah."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that they never came in, Yuan Shaochen muttered quietly at the door.

Ye Jinzhi raised his head and smiled at him. When A-yan wasn't paying attention, he pointed at A-yan and mouthed a few words to him.

"Go." Ye Jinzhi pushed Ayan gently, and she took a few steps back knowingly.

Yuan Shaochen became heavier and heavier as he walked. He was only five steps, four steps, three steps away from them.

Ayan clenched his little hands into fists nervously and looked back at Ye Jinzhi.

"Come on." Ye Jinzhi made a cheering gesture towards him.

Ayan was like a warrior who was about to go to the battlefield. Before Yuan Shaochen came to him, he took the initiative to walk towards him with his short legs.

"Dad." You might have been a little worried at first and didn't dare to speak loudly.

But later, Ye Jinzhi didn't know what the father and son said. In short, he saw Ayan go from being nervous at the beginning, to relaxing, to being picked up by Yuan Shaochen, with a smile on his lips.

Because he didn't go there last night, the milk tea and fruit tea prepared by Ye Jinzhi yesterday were all wasted.

In the afternoon, Yuan Shaochen took several children to play together. This was requested by Ye Jinzhi, who wanted them to cultivate the relationship between father and son.

She made milk tea and fruit tea again, and soon the surroundings were filled with the milky aroma of milk tea and the freshness of fruit tea, and the smell spread far away.

Ever since Ayan appeared in the morning, the relationship between father and son has become even better, especially Ayan, who wants Yuan Shaochen to hug him.

The father and son were very close to each other, and Ye Jinzhi was happy and relaxed. No one disturbed her. After she finished doing this, she leaned on the sofa and read a book.

"Miss." A voice sounded from the door.

Ye Jinzhi turned around and saw the person coming, and was not surprised, "Come in and sit down."

By the way, he poured him a cup of fruit tea that he had just made, and looked up at him: "I've thought about it." It seemed like a question, but Ye Jinzhi knew that they would definitely agree.

The man nodded, "Think about it."

"Then I will take you to find the factory site next week?"

Unexpectedly, the man shook his head, "But we want to put the company in your name."

"In my name?" Ye Jinzhi was puzzled, "What are you doing for me? This is your own business."

The man was silent, no matter what Ye Jinzhi said, he would not compromise.

"This is our only condition. The Ye family has given us a home and has never treated us badly for so many years. If it weren't for the Ye family, we don't know where we are now, and we might have starved to death."

Ye Jinzhi looked into his eyes and knew that if he didn't agree, they would definitely not continue.

After a long time, Ye Jinzhi nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll pay half of the money."

The man's expression was about to relax after hearing the first half of the sentence, but became anxious after hearing the second half.

"No, we have money, we can't use your money."

"Then what you mean is that you give me free money and work for free, and I just sit back and enjoy the money after you contribute money and effort?" Ye Jinzhi was almost amused by them. What kind of idea is this? He likes to give people free money.

"No, we are"

The man hurriedly explained, but when Ye Jinzhi stared at him like that, he felt less and less confident and his voice became lower and lower.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Ye Jinzhi didn't know what to say.

The man drooped his head, like a wronged puppy, just like Heisang when he was wronged. He was afraid that she would be angry, and glanced up from time to time. He felt guilty when he bumped into Ye Jinzhi.

Ye Jinzhi was silent for a long time, and she didn't know whether to laugh or scold them.

"Is this decision yours alone, or the nine of you?"

The man heard that Ye Jinzhi was about to compromise. He was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly raised his head to explain.

"The decision is made by all of us, not mine alone."

"Where are they?" Ye Jin subconsciously looked outside. Just as he was about to look back, he found several heads suddenly appearing at the door, looking sneaky.

The eyes of several people just happened to meet Ye Jinzhi's, and they quickly retracted like turtles.

Ye Jinzhi heard a burst of noisy footsteps going away outside, and soon the sound was no longer heard.

He smiled helplessly and turned to look at the man opposite. The man might also feel embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at Ye Jinzhi.

"I can accept your conditions, but I will pay half of the money."

"We have money." The man was unwilling.

Ye Jinzhi raised his hand and told him not to worry: "If you don't let me pay, then we won't have to talk, and I will only pay, and you will do everything else yourself."

"This" the man opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"You go back and discuss it with them. If it doesn't work, let's not discuss it. If it works, then we can go check out the factory site."
