Chapter 414: 414 come back
Moreover, the husbands at home had already instructed them, so they really didn't dare do anything.
Cai Yingmei carefully attended to her husband.
"Changjin, don't worry, I promise I won't gossip anymore."
Zhou Changjin nodded, glad she could understand. There was really no need to make things difficult for her.
Zhang Chunsheng also knew Tan Shaoting was back and realized he wouldn't swallow his pride. In the future, it would be a different story if Zhou Changjin was no longer under his command, but if he was unlucky and ended up under Tan Shaoting, he'd suffer for sure.
Tan Shaoting was a vengeful person, especially when it came to Xiao Su, whom he cherished greatly.
Yuanyuan saw it was about time and finally had him go take a shower. Soon they would have lunch.
The three kids were well-behaved and didn't cling to their dad.
At noon, the family of five went to the dining car together.
This time, it was Yuanyuan who went to get the food. Tan Shaoting just sat with the three kids.
Everyone in the dining car was watching them.
Here, people who were married and had families were all several years older than Tan Shaoting. Seeing someone so young already being a leader, with a beautiful wife and three kids…
This wasn't a typical person, someone really not to be messed with. Both husband and wife were strong, ready to take action at a slight provocation. Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
The three kids ate by themselves, so the couple also ate on the side.
They weren't planning on chatting with anyone else. After the family finished eating, they stayed there eating fruit.
The kids were used to this, smiling and eating fruit while watching the crowd.
Su Yuanyuan felt a bit regretful. It was her fault, always taking the three kids out, letting them run wild. They still didn't understand and naturally liked crowded places.
Tan Shaoting took out a bright red apple from his pocket and handed it to Su Yuanyuan.
"Wife, have some too."
This made all the women envious of Su Yuanyuan.
Which woman doesn't want to be pampered by her husband?
The three little ones waited until everyone had finished eating. When there were only a few people left in the dining car, they were led by their parents back.
Once the three kids took their nap, Tan Shaoting held his wife close.
"Nothing dangerous happened, right?"
"No, just a bit cumbersome, not dangerous at all.
When I went to hand over the assignment, they told me you were already on your way."
"Haha, initially I didn't want to come along. I was afraid you'd miss me."
Tan Shaoting laughed as he held Su Yuanyuan, "I knew you wouldn't leave me behind. So when I got the news, I wanted to head back too.
Zhang Chunsheng specially called to say you and the kids were on the train."
The two were affectionate, but Tan Shaoting dared not make any moves, knowing his wife wouldn't agree.
After about another week, they arrived in the Capital, disembarked directly, and got onto a truck.
The family of five was quite conspicuous in the crowd. After all, Tan Shaoting was carrying two kids and Su Yuanyuan was carrying one. All three looked identical.
The families were directly arranged to stay in a designated hostel. Tan Shaoting went to gather with them.
Su Yuanyuan stayed with the three kids in the room to rest.
Here, they were told to try not to go out in the next two days.
But the children wanted to go out and play. So Su Yuanyuan negotiated with them, saying if they stayed seated in their stroller, they could go out.
The mother and kids went for a stroll. It wasn't quite the wilderness, but close. It was a base, surrounded by many fields.
Now when you go out, all you see is an endless field. It's all corn, and the stalks are so high that they block the breeze, making it not cool at all.
The three kids still found it quite novel to be out. All they could see was lush green.
Su Yuanyuan walked along the path, but it was hard to push the stroller, so they stood at the door of the hostel watching.
"Mom? What's that?"
"That's a cornfield."
"Corn?" The little girl smacked her lips, thinking of eating boiled corn.
Su Yuanyuan laughed, "In a few days, Mom will make you pine nut corn."
Though it wasn't cool, the greenery everywhere improved her mood.
So the mother and kids didn't plan on going back.
Su Yuanyuan saw grasshoppers in the grass, so she crouched down and asked the three kids, "Do you want to come down and play?"
All three nodded together.
"You can play, but you must listen. Don't stray too far from me, and don't go deep into the grass."
Now, whatever Mom said, they would agree.
Su Yuanyuan took them down and taught them how to catch grasshoppers.
Because there weren't many pesticides, there were quite a few grasshoppers.
When she was little, she caught grasshoppers too, so she knew them well.
After catching some, she told them these were pests and taught the kids their names.
There were plenty of grasshoppers, so she pulled off a stalk of grass with fuzz and strung the grasshoppers together.
The three kids got excited and started catching grasshoppers themselves.
"Don't leave my side, and don't go into the grass."
Su Yuanyuan had already checked the surroundings for safety, but she still had to give reminders.
This was the kids' fun, so Su Yuanyuan prepared a stalk for each of them, with the grasshoppers they caught strung on them.
The kids' laughter reached into the hostel. Every household had kids.
Whether they were teenagers or as young as Qi Yan, they all wanted to come out and play.
"Why don't you just obediently stay inside? Now you've lured the kids to want to go out."
Though there were complaints, no one dared to say anything harsh.
The kids were whining at home to go out, and in the end, it was agreed. After all, other than crying, they just kept crying, which was annoying to hear.
But all the kids were told to stay away from those four—they're not to be provoked.
The three kids were even happier seeing so many others come out.
There's nothing among kids, so they quickly began playing together.
Su Yuanyuan just followed behind her three kids. In fact, not many adults came out. Though the train had sleepers, it wasn't comfortable, so most were resting.
Kids these days were mostly free-range, playing on their own without any worry. Someone like Su Yuanyuan was the exception.
With more people, the grasshoppers were, of course, fewer. Some kids wanted to go into the cornfield, and a few started picking corn.
Su Yuanyuan frowned, watching those kids in their teens.
"You're not young anymore; don't you know right from wrong? Don't you realize this is theft?"
The kids were startled; Su Yuanyuan kicking the Zhou Family couple had left a deep impression on them.
So they all stood there with their heads down, each holding two cobs of corn.
"Go back and find your parents. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable."
