Chapter 310: Li Yaoguo lying flat

 The customs here on Dandan Island.

On the first day of the child's first birthday, before the first week-catching ceremony is completed, the child's feet cannot touch the ground. They must either put them on the bed or hold them all the time.

 Early in the morning.

Zhou Xiaoying changed Tutu into a red cotton-padded jacket, a tiger-ear hat with a tiger head pattern and a pair of tiger shoes.

 Looking very festive.

 But little Tutu didn't like the new clothes very much, and kept pulling off his hat and planning to throw it on the ground.

Li Duoyu, who had picked it up five times, said with a black face: "If you throw it away again, I will spank you."

As a result, little Tutu ignored him and turned around happily and continued to throw up his hat.

What he didn’t expect was that his father wouldn’t pick up the hat for him this time. Little Tutu kept pointing at the hat, looking like he was about to cry, and said, “Wear it”

 “Can’t you throw it away yet?”

Little Tutu, who could understand some words, shook his head, but Li Duoyu put his hat on again.

As soon as he found the opportunity, he immediately threw his hat to the ground and let out a sweet laugh.

 “Your uncle’s.”

 “You are so rebellious.”

If grandma hadn’t specifically given instructions today, no spanking or scolding Tutu would be allowed today, otherwise it would definitely make his **** explode.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua looked at little Tutu's festive clothes and said with jealousy.

“Aniang is too partial. Our family will have nothing when Haoran turns one year old.”

“Can it be the same? When Haoran was one year old, it was not open yet, so we were not allowed to engage in these superstitions.”

Li Yaoguo said: "I will go to the eel factory to record the data first. When we start eating, ask Haoran to come and call me."

Zhu Xiuhua looked at him with disgust:

 “Go quickly, I’ll be annoyed when I see you.”

“Then I’m leaving. Remember to give little Tutu a red envelope.”

Zhu Xiuhua frowned: "When Haoran was one year old, Duoyu and Xiaoying didn't give it to us. If we gave it to us, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Li Yaoguo was speechless:

“At that time, how old were they? They hadn’t started making money yet. How could they give red envelopes to Haoran?”

Zhu Xiuhua was still a little unhappy: "Wouldn't that be a big disadvantage for us? If we give you a lot of fish today, do we also have to give you water flowers? It seems that your eldest brother and sister-in-law also want one this year."

"This is not fair at all to those of us who gave birth early. When we got married, they didn't follow the etiquette. If my eldest brother gets married, we should also follow the etiquette."

Li Yaoguo said with a bitter look on his face: "Why worry so much? We got married too early. There is nothing we can do about it."

 Zhu Xiuhua thought about it for a while and said: "I still feel that it is too much of a disadvantage. How about we have another one? When the time comes, we can take back all the gifts we gave."

 Hearing this, Li Yaoguo suddenly had his head turned upside down.

"No more, I'm leaving first. If I don't remember the data later, Duoyu may want to deduct my salary."

Zhu Xiuhua frowned: "Do you have a physical problem? Why do you look so impatient every time I have a serious discussion with you?"

"How could it be a physical problem? If so, how did Haoran come about?"

“Then tell me why you don’t want to have a second child now that you have a new job.”

Seeing that Zhu Xiuhua was struggling with this matter again, Li Yaoguo said a little impatiently: "I am making plans for the future. Let me ask you, do you think Duoyu will always be the village director?"

Zhu Xiuhua thought about it for a while, then shook her head: "It's unlikely. His character doesn't look like an official fan. When he was the village director, he didn't want to make money, but he ran around here and there. Maybe he even gave money back, certainly not. It will take too long.”

Li Yaoguo nodded and said: "I think so too. If we have a second child now, I will be out of luck when choosing village secretary or village director next time."

“Look at those village cadres, Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping, they only dare to have one child because they are afraid of losing their qualifications to run.”

Zhu Xiuhua said doubtfully:

 “Are you really going to run for office?”

Li Yaoguo said seriously: "I don't think it's an option for both of us to work for Duoyu together. Have you noticed that since you worked for him, you didn't dare to quarrel with him and your voice became quieter? .

 Besides, eggs cannot be put in one basket. It is always good to have more ways out. "

"Also, as long as I don't have a second child, even if I can't run for Zhang Jinsha and the others, with Duoyu's current relationship, it would be a good idea to introduce me to Director Zhang of the credit union."

 Seeing that her husband suddenly started to make progress, Zhu Xiuhua was a little excited: "Okay, I support you, but you can't go to the credit union."

“Why?” Zhu Xiuhua said with a straight face, “It’s not a good place anyway, so I can’t go there.”

Seeing that Zhu Xiuhua became arrogant and unreasonable again, Li Yaoguo didn't bother to argue with her.

 Actually, he felt quite guilty when he said these words, because they were all lies to her.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of competing for the positions of village secretary and village director, because there was no way he could compete.

Even if Duoyu is the village director and village secretary, Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping are also very prestigious in the village.

 Plus this year, they did a lot of things with Duoyu and accumulated a lot of favors.

 The most important thing is, Duoyu knows very well what kind of moral character he has.

Even if he ran for election, Duoyu would not be able to work so hard to help him canvass votes.

What troubles Li Yaoguo most now is that Zhu Xiuhua has been very active recently since his third child, Li Shuihua, became pregnant with her third child.

The third child is often mentioned as an example. During this period, he was actually planning to get pregnant and refused to let him sleep for several nights.

Now, Li Yaoguo just hopes that Liu Xiaolan will give birth to the baby quickly and keep Chen Wenchao busy, so that he will have a reason to stay at the eel factory overnight.

 Actually, it’s not that he doesn’t want a second child, he just finds it troublesome. Raising children now is different from before, and there are too many things to consider.

 When they were children,

 They are all free-range.

 Reading is just a formality, there is no homework, it all depends on self-consciousness.

One Haoran already gave him enough headaches. If there was another Haoran, there wouldn't be enough room at home.

 You will definitely have to build a new house.

Household land is so expensive now. If we really want to build it, it will definitely cost a lot of money.

If both children go to college, it will be a big expense. He is thirty now.

  If another one comes, he will have to work as a cow or a horse for twenty years. Li Yaoguo doesn't think this is necessary.

 He doesn’t know what others think, but for him the “one-child policy” is really good.

 He just doesn’t want to be so tired.

There were other things that he didn’t dare to tell his parents about. If he had worked hard back then, he would have had a chance to get into college.

 But he didn’t know what was going on. Some time before the exam, he seemed to be discouraged.

 I don’t have much interest in the city or the future, so I didn’t work that hard during the college entrance examination.

 Then he returned to Dandan Island and became the most humble village accountant.

 In order to prevent Wang Dapao from knowing the collective funds and accounts, he almost never asked him to do anything.

So during that time, he was really idle. Later, Li Yaoguo met Zhu Xiuhua at a sorority party arranged by the brigade.

At that time, she was awarded the title of Village Red Flag Bearer because of her outstanding performance and being a good worker.

 But by that time, the wind of reform was already blowing, and the villagers' aesthetics had also changed. The most popular women had also changed from being productive and capable to being sweet and artistic.

The most popular ones at that time were female teachers like Xiaoying and Shanshan, and half of the young people in the village were pursuing them.

But Li Yaoguo doesn't like her very much, it's not that he doesn't like her, he just thinks that beautiful women are difficult to take care of.

He has watched Xiaoying and Duoyu grow up. These two little **** quarreled constantly, but he knew very well what they were thinking.

 So at that time, even if he had a choice, he would have no choice but to pursue Lin Shanshan.

Aniang also urged him several times. Shanshan was close to their family and was Xiaoying's colleague, so she encouraged him to pursue Shanshan.

But Li Yaoguo felt that this kind of literary girl was too troublesome, and she might have to write love poems. When he was in high school, what he hated most was prose and poetry.

 Hypocritical as hell.

Aniang urged him many times, but he had no motivation at all, and he didn’t know what happened.

After several contacts with Zhu Xiuhua, I found that the two of them were quite compatible. I didn’t know what was going on, so they started working together.

 In just half a year, the two of them received the certificate in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
