The child had questions in his head, "Isn't the washboard used for washing clothes? Can it also be used for kneeling?"
No one in the family knelt on the washboard. The neighbors all had jobs and had less time at home. Even if there were children kneeling on the washboard, they would not be seen.
Therefore, in his concept, the washboard is a tool for washing clothes.
There is no concept of kneeling.
Jian Shuyan agreed, "You can kneel down."
Kneeling still hurts.
"I have knelt down, my brother has knelt down, my uncle has knelt down, my father has knelt down..."
He counted the heads with his fingers. A bad feeling arose in Dad Jian's heart. Hearing his eldest grandson talking about his father kneeling down, he opened his mouth to stop him, but it was too late.
"Grandpa and grandpa have all knelt down before."
There is a sound when it hits the ground, and the voice is louder.
Everyone heard it.
The children couldn't believe the two grandpas. Jian's mother and the others lowered their heads and shook their shoulders to see that they were laughing.
Jian Yunmu and Jian Yunlin both covered their faces. It was over. Their reputations had been ruined by a little brat.
"Grandpa, you..."
"Son, don't ask."
Jian Yuelan quickly covered the child's mouth with quick eyes and hands. Looking at Jian's father and uncle who were looking forward to smoke rising above their heads, they suppressed their laughter and whispered in his ear, "Grandpa and the others want to save face."
The child immediately understood what she meant and blinked at her.
Jian Yuelan couldn't bear to let go of her hand, and the child naturally changed the subject, "Grandpa, let me take you to see the room."
"Go, go, go!"
We can't stay here anymore, let them find a place to save face first.
As for the little brat Jian Shuyan, let them wait.
Staring hard at Jian Shuyan, who had an innocent face and looked like he had no idea what good thing he had done, Jian's father and brother followed the children out of the hall as if they were fleeing to regain their lost face.
The great-grandmother sighed, "My dear, I made you laugh."
The second elder quickly said it didn't matter.
In fact, they were extremely embarrassed. After all, they really didn't want to know that the two father-in-laws and the men of the Jian family had the traditional custom of kneeling on the washboard.
After enduring it again and again, the old man still couldn't hold it back and said, "I'll carry someone behind my back from now on."
It's really beneath the dignity of a man to be told by a child.
What could Jane's mother and the others do? They could only nodded and said they would pay attention next time.
The old lady's eyes suddenly widened, should you pay attention next time?
In other words, the men of the Jian family can't escape the punishment of the washboard no matter what, right?!
Jian Yuelan saw her sister-in-law's hands clenched into fists, and her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at Jian Shuyan.
"Shu Yan, Shu Qi, you sleep with your brother tonight."
"Ah? Don't you have a room by yourself?"
The two brothers, who had no idea about the good things they had done, looked confused, and Jian Yuelan wanted to sigh. These two silly nephews still wanted to sleep by themselves, fearing that they didn't want their butts to bloom.
She reminded in a subtle way, "Look at your mother."
See what mom is doing?
The confused brothers turned to look at their mother, and then——
"Auntie, let's sleep with my brother."
Oh my god, my mother's eyes are so scary.
It feels right to beat them up.
The two brothers, who didn't want to be beaten, tried very hard, "Auntie, if you don't let us sleep with your brother, we will cry for you."
"Well, sleep with my brother."
You will definitely not be able to escape from this beating, but it is better to be a little later than to be beaten on the first day.
Seeing that Tai Nai looked tired, she got up and came to the old lady, supported her arm and said, "Tai Nai, I will take you to take a bath and rest."
The old lady was really tired, so she looked at the two elders after hearing the sound.
The two of them immediately stood up and said, "It's time to rest. If you have anything to say, we can wait until you have rested before talking about it."
With the words of the two elders, the next thing will be easier to handle.
Take a shower when you need to take a shower, and rest when you need to rest.
By the time everyone was settled, it was already past six in the evening.
Except for Jian's mother, Jian's father, the old lady and Jian Yuelan live in the same courtyard, the rest all live in the same courtyard as the second elder Doudou and the others.
At night, Jian Yuelan lay on the bed, exposing her belly and letting Jian's mother apply ointment to her.
The sight of her belly with visible veins frightened her, "This belly is too big."
"The children are well raised."
The arrival of her parents and Tai Nai made Jian Yuelan feel more at ease than ever before. She smiled and said, "Mom, don't leave this time."
Jian's mother laughed and said, "Little greedy man, tell me what your plans are."
"I want to keep my sister-in-law to help me. Shuyan and Shuqi are studying in Ancheng."
It was a good plan, but——
"That may not be possible. Your eldest brother wants to take your sister-in-law and Shu Yan to the capital."
Looking up at Jian Yuelan, she said warmly, "Your grandfather has already led your eldest brother and the others to accumulate connections."
This means that the old man wants to keep his eldest brother by his side for development.
Jian Yuelan was silent for a long time, "Then when grandpa and the others come, I will have a good talk with them."
Let's see what the old man's plans are for the future.
"It's time to have a good talk."
Jian's mother said softly, "Once the old man confirms that your eldest brother will be his successor, our family and the Ye family will be tied to death."
"Daughter, you and Xiaoye need to think carefully. Once you take some paths, you will never have the chance to look back."
"There's nothing to think about."
Jian Yuelan chuckled, "Mom, love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families. From the day Ye Linxing and I received the certificate, our family has actually been tied to the Ye family."
If she and Ye Linxing didn't get the certificate and didn't have a baby, then they really need to think more.
However, they have been married for several years and have three children. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to break up.
The Jian family's success lies in the fact that it has a prosperous population and a large number of talented people. Even without the power of the Ye family, it is only a matter of time before it rises.
As for the Ye family, including the two children in her belly, there are only nine people.
My parents-in-law are engaged in research, and their connections are concentrated in scientific research circles, so it is impossible to take over the Ye family's connections.
Ye Linxing is a soldier, and he will work until the day he retires.
Needless to say, joining the military or politics has nothing to do with her.
Train Doudou and his brothers...
Don't be kidding, when they grow up to be able to take over connections, people in the circle will not know how many batches of people they will receive, and the specific ones they will receive are still unknown.
Therefore, the eldest brother is the best choice for the old man.
She can understand the old man's thoughts.
"Actually, the old man had this idea a long time ago. He just felt sorry for Grandpa Luo and was afraid that his plan would come to nothing."
Jane's mother was clear about her in-laws' grandfather's thoughts, but she couldn't figure out why she was still involved with Mr. Luo and the others.
"What happened to your Grandpa Luo and the others?"
"I'm attracted to my eldest brother."
Jian's mother immediately understood that the old man and the others wanted her eldest son to take over the Luo family's network.
After thinking about this, she complained with black lines on her forehead, "I just found out today that your eldest brother is quite likable."
Jian Yuelan burst out laughing, "My eldest brother is already popular."
Mature, steady, knowledgeable and insightful, he loves to think and is good at taking one step at a time and seeing ten steps at a time. In those ten years, he chose to lie dormant for safety. Fortunately, it is not too late now.
"The eldest brother is still young. Mom, just wait and see. He might become the most accomplished member of the Jian family."
As for what happens secretly, you have to look at Xiao Eleven and Xiao Shiba.
