Chapter 146 Dad is a traitor
Xiao Ruyi knew that Darong worked the middle shift and would not get off work until 9 o'clock in the evening, so she went home after school, finished her homework obediently, and climbed into bed to go to sleep before 8 o'clock.
Zhong Yunxing didn't ask a single question from beginning to end, but he knew clearly in his heart that this girl must have provoked Darong again.
Xiao Ruyi originally planned to fall asleep before Darong came back, so that by the next morning, Darong's temper would have almost subsided.
However, the more you want to fall asleep, the more impossible it is to fall asleep. Xiao Ruyi lay there from 8 o'clock until 9:. Even when the sound of Darong parking the car was heard in the yard, Xiao Ruyi still had a frown on her face and didn't fall asleep at all.
Zhong Yunxing sat aside, watching Xiao Ruyi who couldn't fall asleep and was trying to sleep, pursing his lips and trying to hold back a smile.
"Are you back?"
Seeing Darong come in, Zhong Yunxing winked at her.
Darong looked down and saw Xiao Ruyi's eyelashes fluttering. She felt both angry and amused and rolled her eyes at Zhong Yunxing who was smirking.
"Ruyi performed very well today. When I came back, she had almost finished her homework. After dinner, she washed herself and went to bed. She was great."
Zhong Yunxing smiled and described to Darong how Xiao Ruyi had behaved that night, then raised a curious face, waiting for Darong to report to him about his precious daughter's "great achievements".
"She must have fallen asleep, otherwise I would have spanked her. She even dared to pull out my valve core today."
Darong successfully satisfied Zhong Yunxing's curiosity and told him all about his precious daughter's mischief.
After hearing this, Zhong Yunxing's initial giggle turned into an inexplicable feeling of heartache. Xiao Ruyi did nothing wrong, but when parents were busy running around, they ignored the feelings of too many children.
Darong looked at the change in Zhong Yunxing's expression and seemed to sense his heartache. She touched Ruyi's forehead and did not criticize her again.
Xiao Ruyi originally closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and then she really fell asleep. When Darong touched her forehead, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
After winter, Zhong Yunxing's excavator project gradually came to an end and stopped. Zhong Yunxing's Dongfanghong is a tracked one and cannot be driven directly on the road. He needs to hire a trailer to tow it every time he goes back and forth, so the daily towing fee is also a fixed expense.
"Mom, is there anything to eat?"
Zhong Yunxing had just pulled the bulldozer back to Erdaohezi. It was already past lunch time and he could feel his stomach rumbling, so he looked for something to eat as soon as he entered the door.
"I'll make you some noodle soup. I just ate all the leftover steamed buns at noon. Just watch out for the auspiciousness."
Mother Zhong put down the little Xiangrui in Zhong Yunsheng's home, got up and went to the outer room to prepare food for Zhong Yunxing.
"Did her aunt really go to work?"
Zhong Yunsheng and Xiangrui were playing with fishing toys on the kang and asked casually to Mother Zhong.
"Ah, yes. Shengzi has to take exams now. He goes to the street to attend classes after work every day and doesn't come back until midnight. Wenying also found a factory job and her life is much more stable now."
Ever since the last crab incident, Zhong Yunsheng seemed to be stimulated by Wu Meifeng's contempt. He suddenly began to study hard and passed the accounting certificate in more than half a year. Now he works as an accountant in a private company and is preparing for the accountant examination.
"That's good. Let him take the exam. It's good to have a skill. It saves him from being exhausted all day long like me."
Zhong Yunxing's answer was just an unconscious one, but it upset Zhong's mother's mixed feelings. She lowered her eyes and didn't say anything else.
"Eat quickly."
A large bowl of hot noodle soup was brought into the house. Zhong Yunxing sat on the kang, watching his mother eat happily while she was warm.
Ever since Zhong Yunxing's project was suspended, he has completely taken over the task of picking up Xiao Jixiang, and he enjoys making the trip once at noon and once at night every day.
"Dad, you are a traitor, you are the same as mom."
Although Xiao Ruyi is still dissatisfied with her parents' favoritism, she has reluctantly accepted this fact over the past period of time. She only complains a few words when doing her homework.
"Why does your father become a traitor?"
Zhong Yunhong, who had just returned from get off work, happened to hear Xiao Ruyi's complaint and happily continued the conversation.
He had long heard that Xiao Ruyi was dissatisfied with Darong's picking up Jixiang and went to remove the valve core. He felt both amused and distressed.
"Second uncle." Xiaoru saw that Zhong Yunhong came in, but after saying hello, he lowered his head to continue doing his homework without saying anything more to complain.
"Brother, stop doing it. Let's go out to eat. What does Ruyi want to eat? Second uncle will take you there." Zhong Yunhong walked up to little Ruyi and patted her little forehead.
"I want to eat hotpot!" When Xiao Ruyi heard that they were going out to eat, all the gloom in her heart instantly disappeared, and she looked at Zhong Yunxing excitedly with her big eyes shining.
"Okay! Let's eat hot pot."
The two brothers took their two little ones to the newly opened hot pot restaurant on the street.
At that time, little Ruyi didn't understand why Zhong Yunhong often took her out to restaurants. In the simple Ruyi's heart, she just felt that having food and drink was enough to make her happy.
At the end of the year, Zhong Yunxing received his forklift shift pay for the first time. Little Ruyi didn't have much idea about money, but seeing her parents smiling, she felt very happy too.
"Dad, is all this money ours?" Ruyi asked Zhong Yunxing with twinkling eyes.
"Well, I guess so. This money was earned by dad, but we have to pay back part of it to others, and the rest is ours." Zhong Yunxing touched Xiao Ruyi's head with tenderness in his eyes.
Ruyi nodded ignorantly, and watched her parents unpack the stacks of money, sort them out and put them into envelopes, and then the two of them went out with the money.
Although Zhong Yunxing earned a lot of money driving a bulldozer, after deducting the cost of fuel, repairs and repayment of debts, he was actually only left with a simple salary.
But even so, Darong still appeared very happy, and her happiness made all of Zhong Yunxing's hard work this year meaningful.
"Mom, I don't like playing the piano. It's so boring. I don't want to learn."
After leaving Sibei'er's house, Xiao Ruyi noticed Darong's lonely look. Xiao Linlin had started learning the electronic organ before going to school, and Darong had always been very envious. After she knew that Sibei'er bought a new organ for Linlin, she couldn't help but talk to Xiao Ling.
However, Xiao Ling refused to lend the piano to Ruyi for study, saying that the old piano was broken. Although Darong knew that this would be the result, she still couldn't hide her emotions.
At that time, Ruyi was already in the third grade of elementary school, and she had begun to understand the difference between wealth and money.
