70s: Raising a Baby

"I want it." Without asking how much it was, she just grabbed the key from his hand and locked the box.

"Hey, you are trying to burn bridges by crossing the river." Before Yu Xuyang could react, he was pushed away by him, with a look of hurt on his face.

"How much?" Yuan Shaochen ignored his mischief.

"Just think of it as my contribution to your marriage."

The two of them had known each other for a long time. Yuan Shaochen, whom they had just met, was not married yet. When he got married later, he missed it because of family matters. When he came back, he learned that Yuan Shaochen had been transferred.

It had been so long, but yesterday I happened to see a friend asking him if he wanted this. He thought that Yuan Shaochen said that his wife could play the piano, so he thought of giving it to him.

"Okay, I'll go back first and come back home for dinner."

Yuan Shaochen was not polite to him either. He was not short of the money, so he really had to give it to him.

"Hey, don't you invite me to your house for a meal?" Yu Xuyang was dumbfounded. He had already prepared to go to his house for dinner, otherwise he would have left long ago, why would he have waited so long.

"If you are willing to eat alone, then leave." Yuan Shaochen picked up the documents in the drawer and raised his eyebrows at him.

Yu Xuyang didn't ask why, knowing that it might be inconvenient for him, so he turned the car key in his hand.

Yuan Shaochen held documents in one hand and a box in the other.

"Sorry, I have to meet an elder today. Next time -"

"Stop it," Yu Xuyang interrupted, looking at him carelessly, "I'm not that narrow-minded."

Yuan Shaochen smiled and said no more.

"Let's go first." His car was parked under the tree next to him. As he passed by, he whistled at Yuan Shaochen, which was very naughty.

"Captain, let me do it."

Yuan Shaochen waved his hand, "No, you go and eat."

This time happened to be the time for everyone to go back. Seeing that Yuan Shaochen had taken such a large box of things, he couldn't help but be curious.

"The former regiment leader is going back." The person who spoke was Political Commissar Huang who lived in their home.

Yuan Shaochen nodded, "Yes."

"What's in this big box?"

"A friend gave it to my wife."

When they heard that it was something used by women, everyone withdrew their gaze and stopped staring at that thing.

"Former captain, how are you going to torture those boys tomorrow?"

When they came today, they heard that Yuan Shaochen dragged those boys out to run with heavy loads at noon, and they sighed in their hearts.

I used to hear others call him "The Lord of Hell", and I thought those little bastards couldn't bear hardships and were very squeamish.

Now it seems that he is really cruel. No wonder the soldiers he led love and hate him.

"Dad, you are back."

Just one day after arriving, several children have already mingled with the children in the compound.

As soon as Gu Chen put down his schoolbag after school, he ran to Yuan's house to play with them and had a great time.

"Hello, Uncle Yuan." Not to mention anything else, the children in the compound were more courageous than the other.

A group of children stole matches from nowhere, and there was a sparrow next to them, preparing to roast it.

"You brat, what are you doing?" A rough roar came from behind.

"Dad, let's roast the sparrows." Gu Chen didn't show any fear at all. He held matches in his hands, and the children put up the branches in a decent manner and put the sparrows on them.

"Roasted sparrow, don't roast yourself."

It's such a hot weather, and there are no adults around. If someone accidentally catches a fire, they won't be able to save it.

"I don't have enough food for you at home, so get back here quickly."

A group of children were strangled in their cradle before they even started, and were taken back by their father dejectedly.

"Let's go." Everyone had finished leaving, and Yuan Shaochen also went back with a few children.

Several children were very angry when they saw the fathers of those little friends just now, and looked like they were going to beat them.

At this moment, everyone was a little uneasy and did not dare to speak next to Yuan Shaochen.

"Is mom home?"

"Yes, mom is in the study room." She answered honestly.

But I didn't expect that even when I was almost at the door, my father didn't mention anything about what just happened.

They all saw that Gu Chen and the others were scolded by their father on the road and even beat them.

"Dad." Ah Zhao was a little confused. When he was still a few steps away from the door of his home, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

"Is something wrong?" Yuan Shaochen was thinking of going back to give him a surprise, so his pace quickened a lot, and several children were walking and running behind him.

"You won't scold us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the scolding voice from next door, "You brat, you still dare to play with fire."

"Well," Yuan Shaochen turned around and realized that they had been too quiet along the way. When he turned around, he saw that the children all looked worried.

He didn’t leave either, he just stayed there.

"What should you do if it really catches fire?"

"We thought of it a long time ago and brought a big bucket of water." A Hao said from the side.

"Besides, it's very close to the creek. I also saw some uncles training there. They would come over as soon as we called." Ah Xu added.

Yuan Shaochen raised his eyebrows, these boys are quite smart, "You have a plan, that's fine."

In fact, he had already seen a bucket of water behind the tree, but he did not expect that that place was also carefully chosen by them.

"Let's go back, take a shower and change some clothes."

The children saw that Yuan Shaochen had no intention of settling accounts with them, so they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

He even relaxed his steps unconsciously and followed Yuan Shaochen in.

"Dad, what's in the box in your hand?"

Knowing that his father did not blame them, Ahao asked about his doubts. He had seen it a long time ago, but he was afraid that his father would be angry and did not dare to speak all the way.

"Go back and take a look." As soon as he entered the house, Yuan Shaochen's steps became bigger and faster. Seeing that their father was in such a hurry, the children simply trotted to follow him.

"Deng Deng Deng -" there was a series of footsteps.

The study door was open, and Ye Jinzhi was writing something when he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"Mom., Mom, dad brought a gift for you." The voice came before the person appeared.

Just as Ye Jinzhi was about to stand up, he saw Yuan Shaochen coming in with a black portable box in his hand.

"What is it?" It looked like it was quite small.

Yuan Shaochen didn't say anything. He first put the documents in his hand on the table, and then put the box on the ground.

"Record player!" Ye Jinzhi shouted in surprise and looked at Yuan Shaochen in disbelief, "How did you find this?"

It was such a surprise that Ye Jinzhi was so excited that he was speechless.

This is a little quirk of hers. Almost no one knows that she likes the feeling of listening to music on the record player.

This made her feel very artistic. She used to have one at home. It was an antique. It was very old and was left by the previous generation.

But the quality was very good and it never broke. The record player was still working until her accident.

"Yu Xuyang sent it. He heard that you like to play the piano, and his friend wanted to sell it, so he sent it here."

Seeing how happy she was, Yuan Shaochen silently credited Yu Xuyang in his heart.

"Mom, what does this do?" Several children looked left and right, not knowing how to use it.

"This is for listening to music. There is no tape at home. Mom will buy some tape later."

After receiving the gift, Ye Jinzhi looked like a little girl, with a smile on her face that could not be stopped.

"There is a cabinet in the study room of the quadrangle that can just fit this." Ye Jinzhi squatted on the ground and muttered to himself.

Perhaps because of the gift he received, Ye Jinzhi was in a good mood on the way to see Zhou Guocheng again, humming along the way.

When they got there, Zhou Guocheng had been waiting for them at home early. When he saw their car coming in, he came out to greet them.

"Uncle Zhou."

"Grandpa Zhou."

Several children rushed to Zhou Guocheng as soon as they got off the car and shouted around him.

"Zhizhi is in a good mood today." After dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room eating fruit, and Zhou Guocheng spoke out.

"Mom got a gift."

"Dad gave Mom a record player."

"Grandpa Zhou, have you ever seen a record player?"

"."

When the children heard this, they told everything without any secret.

"Zhizhi likes record players. It's just right. I have some tape here. I'll take it back and listen to it later."

Zhou Guocheng was completely different now from the first time they met him. His whole person had changed a lot, especially in front of several children, his aura became softer and kinder.

Even Ayan, who was most afraid of him in the past, is not afraid now, but it is just that he is not afraid. He still can't do it to make him like his brothers.

Although Zhou Guocheng said he had let go of his grudge against this child a lot, he was still a little different from Ah Zhao and the others, not as close to him.

Fortunately, Ayan is not so careful and can't notice the slightest difference.

Nestled in her mother's arms, her mouth was full like a little hamster, and she couldn't take any time off at all.

A few people stayed until the courtyard was about to close before going back. Fortunately, there was only a few steps away, so there was no need to worry about being late.

"Uncle Zhou, you can go home and play when you have nothing to do. Don't work so hard. Don't run around all the time. Your body will be overwhelmed."

Before leaving, Ye Jinzhi gave him instructions.

"Okay." Zhou Guocheng nodded in agreement.

But it is still impossible to retreat for a while. Ye Jinzhi also knows that, but he still says it every time.

When I went back, the courtyard was still very lively. The weather is hot now. Whether there is air conditioning or not, everyone likes to go outside to enjoy the breeze at night.

The children were also playing outside. When they saw them coming back, the children who had played with Azhao and the others during the day all came running over.

"Where have you been? We were playing with you. Grandma Li said you were not at home." Gu Chen was panting from playing and was a little unhappy that they were not at home.

"We went out to eat."

"Then let's go play together." Gu Chen walked away as fast as he got angry, pulling them to leave.

The children looked at their parents first.

"Go ahead, remember not to play too long and come back early."

Although they have just arrived, Ye Jinzhi is not worried at all whether they will be bullied. If they can still be bullied after practicing for so many years, then they deserve it.

Moreover, the communication skills of these children are unknown. From childhood to adulthood, they have never worried about having no one to play with. There are a bunch of people following them wherever they go.

"Yeah, let's go." After a while, the figures of several children disappeared at the door.

"We're back, do you want something to eat?" Aunt Li asked when she saw them coming back.

Ye Jinzhi waved his hand, "No, Aunt Li, you can go and rest."

"Run slower, you can't run anymore." Yuan Shaochen was a little helpless, fearing that she would fall, so he followed her and carefully protected her.

Ye Jinzhi held the record she had just brought from Uncle Zhou's house in her hand. She couldn't wait to listen to it.

Because the cabinet hadn't arrived yet, Ye Jinzhi put the record player directly on the desk, and her files could only be placed in a small corner.

After a while, the record player slowly started spinning, and soothing music sounded in the study.

At first, Ye Jinzhi didn't notice it until he felt a heat on his waist, and Yuan Shaochen's hands slowly tightened around Ye Jinzhi's waist.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jinzhi turned around and saw the lust in Yuan Shaochen's eyes, passionate, unabashed, and full of emotion.

Due to the music in the study and Ye Jinzhi's good mood, she was willing to cooperate with him at this time. She took the initiative to put her red lips on Yuan Shaochen's lips, her eyes a little hazy.

"Mom? Dad?" Several children came home and found that the house was quiet.

"Did you sleep?"

Listening to the approaching footsteps of several children outside the door, Ye Jinzhi suddenly woke up and wanted to get up.

"Don't be afraid." Yuan Shaochen's unclear voice said, "I have locked the door."

They had already moved from the study to the bedroom. Yuan Shaochen's dense kisses fell on Ye Jinzhi's smooth skin, causing red marks, like red plum blossoms.

"Hmm~" Ye Jinzhi quickly fell deeply into Yuan Shaochen's tenderness, his consciousness blurred, and the back of his white hands tightly grasped Yuan Shaochen's back.

"Sleep again." Seeing that Ye Jinzhi was about to be awakened by the wake-up call, Yuan Shaochen covered her ears, took her into his arms and comforted her gently.

The atmosphere was so good last night, and Ye Jinzhi was so cooperative that Yuan Shaochen couldn't hold it back for a while. The two of them had a quarrel for a long time, even pretending not to hear the children coming back.

After the breathing of the person in his arms slowly calmed down, Yuan Shaochen let go of her and gently got out of the bed from the other side.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Shaochen found that one of his hands was grabbed by her, thinking that she had woken him up.

"Has the study been cleaned?" Ye Jinzhi's voice sounded charming as if he had just woken up.

"Don't worry, I swept it yesterday." Naked, Yuan Shaochen walked to her side and put her to sleep again.

"Dad, come on, come on." Several children had gotten up early, but their father was even later than them today.

"Let's go." Yuan Shaochen always had a dark face, and others could not see his expression. Naturally, the children did not see his embarrassed expression.

"Azhao, let's go together." By coincidence, Gu Chen happened to pass by their house.

With yesterday's companionship and the fact that they had made many good friends, Yuan Shaochen did not stay with them all the time. He left after seeing that they were practicing well.

"Not one of them woke up."

A group of people suddenly woke up when they heard Yuan Shaochen's roar. They thought that Yuan Shaochen would not be able to come over just like yesterday.
