Chapter 806: Chapter 0806: Zhao Di’s Premature Birth 4

After Cui Shaoyuan left, the entire atmosphere of the unit relaxed.

Ouyang Zijin received his salary, and during his break, he habitually walked into the service shop to buy something.

The one now in charge of selling was no longer Xiaowang, but the new recruit Jiang Xiaolou, who had been on duty for several months. He greeted with a grin, "Commander Ouyang, coming to buy something for Xibao again? We’ve got some good stuff today."

Ouyang Zijin slapped the counter, "Would I not know if there were any good things?"

"Right!" Jiang Xiaolou smacked his own head. Since the logistics department was responsible for procurement, of course, Ouyang Zijin knew best what good things the service shop had, "Since you know, you tell me what to buy! I don’t know if it’s because Deputy Commander Lu gave the word, but the comrades who used to buy things here for Xibao have dwindled a lot."

Ouyang Zijin shook his head, "You’re not unaware of the recent events, who would dare to act against the wind now? The comrades originally meant well, but their actions were twisted by others, nearly bringing disaster upon Deputy Commander Lu’s family."

Jiang Xiaolou muttered, "Speaking of her causing trouble out of nothing, she did catch a few corrupt officials though."

Who she is, goes without saying.

Although Cui Shaoyuan and his people did not pursue the matters instigated by Cao Hongzhu, now everyone in the unit went out of their way to avoid not only Cao Hongzhu and Lu Zhaozhi but also made their husbands’ situations very awkward.

"Alright, alright, Comrade Cui and the others haven’t left yet. What nonsense are you spouting here?" Ouyang Zijin slapped the money and the food tickets on the counter, "Xibao runs around with a bunch of smelly boys every day, so skinny it’s pitiful, his cheeks even a size smaller than Fubao’s, which is heartbreaking. Give me a can of malt essence and one canned food, I need to nourish him."

Xibao lost weight? Jiang Xiaolou hurriedly took the money and food tickets and fetched the items.

Ouyang Zijin, with the items in hand, entered the family courtyard. From afar, he saw Xibao, dressed in a red outfit with white rabbits on it, sitting at the entrance to his yard like a chunky figure, holding a thin stick, poking around on the ground, shaking his head and muttering.

As he got closer, Ouyang Zijin heard him loudly recite, "If the jade is not cut, it cannot be made into a tool. If a man does not learn, he does not know righteousness. As a son, at a young age, acquaint with teachers and friends, and practice rites..."

The enunciation was very clear, and the flow was coherent.

When he recited "At four, one can yield the pear" Xibao couldn’t continue, his eyebrows knitted together.

After a moment, he turned towards the courtyard and shouted, "At four, one can yield the pear! At four, one can yield the pear!"

Ouyang Zijin then heard Lu Jiang’s voice coming from inside the courtyard, "You little dummy, how many times has your mother taught you? Everyone says you’re smart, but I think you’re a little dummy. The next line is ’Younger brother to elder, should know to yield. First is filial piety, then respect, followed by exposure to learning.’"

"Baby is smart! Not a little dummy, daddy is the little dummy," Xibao retorted, then continued smoothly, "Know some maths, recognize some script. From one to ten, ten to a hundred. Hundred to a thousand, thousand to ten thousand. The three powers are, heaven, earth, and man. The three lights are, sun, moon, and stars. The three principles are, ruler to subject, right; father to son, close... Daddy, daddy, father, and son are close, yeah! Daddy and baby, yeah!"

Ouyang Zijin chuckled, "Xibao, look what tasty things Uncle Ouyang has brought you?"

"Tasty things!" Xibao’s eyes sparkled as he jumped up, but soon he sat back down, clutching the little stick, scribbling on the ground by his feet, "Don’t want, don’t want, don’t want! Baby has, Mommy makes food."

Ouyang Zijin was extremely puzzled. This was a change in Xibao’s character? Actually not interested in tasty treats?

...Xibao, my nephew, started speaking late. His longest sentence was ’Daddy earns money to buy lollipops’. He is really very clever in other aspects. The majority of the plot was written based on him. My niece is more than two months older than him. She could speak very early and clearly, knew some of the Three Character Classic at two, and would often tell my nephew, ’Xibao, you have to call me Princess Nini.’
