Chapter 2862 An eagle should spread its wings and soar high
"I agree."
As Yu Zecheng finished speaking, the people around him looked over in surprise.
Yang Xiaotao even raised his eyelids slightly and turned his head to look at Yu Zecheng in surprise.
Yu Zecheng also looked over, then blinked and gestured with his lips.
Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what it meant.
So he's going to play the bad cop?
This bastard!
But the children below were overjoyed.
Little Stone, in particular, raised his hands as if he had won a battle, and even clapped and celebrated with Ran Hongbing next to him.
Duanwu and Miaomiao smiled happily, and then both of them looked at their father.
Right now, it's clear that several mothers disagree.
All they could fight for was their father.
They can go as long as their father agrees.
Because they knew that in the end, the father was the one who made the final decisions in the family.
Well, except for Zhou Wen's father.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that in the Zhou family, the men were responsible for working and earning money, while the women were responsible for earning money and managing the household.
But there are exceptions, such as when Yang Xiaotao makes a decision, the other party is definitely fine with it.
Miao Miao and Duanwu immediately turned their gazes to their father.
"Yu Zecheng, you...you're something else!"
Upon hearing what Yu Zecheng said and seeing the children's gazes, Cuiping sat down angrily and then turned to the side and gave Yu Zecheng a hard knock on the back of the head.
The men in this family are beyond control.
Ran Qiuye didn't expect Yu Zecheng to agree.
Then, looking at the children standing in the yard, especially Duanwu's stubborn appearance, she suddenly saw the shadow of her own man in her son.
Then I suddenly realized something about the current situation, the appearance, and the state of mind.
Something is wrong, very wrong.
If her husband disagreed, she would have rejected it long ago.
They won't even get a chance to speak.
It's either black or white.
Since her man didn't refuse immediately, that means...
He actually agreed!
Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye felt somewhat at ease.
Because she knew that her husband wouldn't harm the children.
Since he agreed, he must have made thorough preparations.
Otherwise, they would not agree even if there was the slightest danger.
If that's the case, then what else does she have to worry about?
Why does she still play the villain?
When no one was paying attention, Ran Qiuye leaned close to Cuiping and whispered something.
Cui Ping's eyes lit up, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Yang Xiaotao.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Yang Xiaotao, waiting for the final decision.
Yang Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then looked at Ran Qiuye, "Since Director Yu has agreed!"
Cough
As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yu Zecheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly coughed lightly.
But Yang Xiaotao didn't even look at him and continued, "Then Zhou Kui, what's your opinion? Do you agree or disagree?"
Zhou Kui's large body trembled instinctively upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's voice. He then looked up at his wife, then at Xiaoyu standing at the back, and then…
"Speak quickly!"
Yang Xiaotao couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up again.
Zhou Kui looked at Yang Xiaotao, recalling what his mother had once said.
When you're out there, listen to Brother Tao.
Listening to your mother is the right thing to do.
Thinking of this, Zhou Kui immediately nodded, "Brother Tao, I, I'll listen to you!"
Yang Xiaotao was speechless.
I asked you to give your opinion and make a decision, but you just pushed the blame onto me.
Okay, you're good.
Yang Xiaotao spoke again, "Then let me explain."
Ran Hongbing and Duanwu and the others became worried.
In this courtyard, the brother-in-law (father) is the one who has veto power.
Yu Zecheng suddenly felt a little nervous. Could this guy have misunderstood what he meant?
Ran Qiuye had already understood Yang Xiaotao's meaning, and now she looked over, wanting to see what Yang Xiaotao would say.
He then stood up amidst the gazes of the crowd, glanced at everyone present, nodded to Ran Qiuye, and then said, "As a father, I am very pleased that you were able to stand up today, stand firm in your thoughts, and have your own opinions."
Hearing this, Miao Miao gripped Duanwu's hand tightly. The two siblings felt that their father would definitely agree.
"At the same time, as a revolutionary builder, I hear your voices, I hear your heartfelt words, and I hear your dedication to contributing to the country and the revolution."
"I'm relieved too."
Ran Hongbing and Shi Tou also smiled.
Yang Xiaotao swept his gaze across the crowd and said, “The era we live in was paved with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs.”
"How many people have fallen silently to make our lives possible today?"
"So many people have given their lives."
"They can make sacrifices for the revolution; they are also fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters."
"They are willing to sacrifice, to give, and to face danger."
“My son and daughter can do the same.”
Ran Qiuye turned her head away, while Cuiping silently shook her head beside her.
They can understand, but they are mothers.
"Therefore, I agree to your participation in the competition."
"I also hope that you can achieve good results and bring glory to the country and the people."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Duanwu immediately rushed to Ran Hongbing, "Uncle, we can play games now."
Ran Hongbing held the Dragon Boat Festival and spun it around in the air, looking very pleased with himself.
Xiaoyu pinched her fingers together and ran straight to her mother's side.
Liu Yuhua sighed. "A son is no longer under his mother's control once he grows up." That saying is quite true.
Shi Tou looked at his father, then at his mother, and finally went to his mother's side.
Then his ear was twisted and turned around. "You little brat, you're pretty good, aren't you? You can shoot a gun, right? You can throw grenades, right?"
"Mommy, it hurts, it hurts a lot."
Cuiping wouldn't let go; her eyes were full of love.
Yang Xiaotao came to Ran Qiuye's side and said, "Wife, the child is grown up and has his own ideas. We should support him if we can."
Ran Qiuye snorted coldly, and at this moment Yueyue and Rongrong led Dudu over, looking very happy.
"Yes Yes Yes."
“Among your family members surnamed Yang, I am the only outsider.”
"You all gang up on outsiders."
As Ran Qiuye said this, Miaomiao quickly stepped forward and hugged her. "Sister, eldest sister, I also have the surname Ran."
Ran Hongbing came over and said in a soft, gentle voice.
Ran Qiuye said irritably, "You? You're siding with outsiders!"
I'll deal with you later.
Ran Hongbing dared not speak.
Looking at the delighted children, Yang Xiaotao suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Don't be too happy yet."
The group was taken aback, then their hearts tightened, as if something terrible was about to happen.
The others in the courtyard also heard Yang Xiaotao's voice and pricked up their ears to look over again.
Ran Qiuye and Cui Ping's eyes lit up. Was there a turning point in this matter?
Then Yang Xiaotao spoke up, "There are age restrictions for our participation in this competition."
Didn't Lou Xiao'e and the others tell you at the time?
Ran Hongbing shook his head upon hearing this, "No, no."
Miaomiao and Duanwu Xiaoyu both looked over curiously, not understanding why.
Yu Zecheng looked at Yang Xiaotao and silently gave him a thumbs up.
Ran Qiuye and Cuiping, who were standing nearby, both laughed.
However, their smiles froze on their faces before they could fade.
Then Yang Xiaotao continued, "According to the competition requirements, the youngest contestant must be at least ten years old."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao sighed, "So, Xiaoyu, you two can't go on Dragon Boat Festival."
"what?"
Duanwu let out a scream. Her mood was like a rollercoaster, soaring to the top of excitement and then plummeting to the bottom of despair.
"Ten years old? What right do you have to do that?"
Duanwu asked reluctantly, and Yang Xiaotao chuckled, "There's nothing we can do. You're only nine years old this year, and Xiaoyu is even younger, so neither of you can go."
"But Miaomiao and Shitou can go, so you guys have to do your best!"
After saying that, Miaomiao and Shitou weren't very happy; instead, they were somewhat disappointed.
After all, they are a "team". If their teammates can't go, what are they going to do?
"Dad, I... I'm not going either."
Miao Miao spoke first, and Yang Xiaotao frowned and asked, "Miao Miao, you need to think this through. Just now you were all about bringing glory to the revolution, how can you back down now?"
Miao Miao nestled in Ran Qiuye's arms and whispered, "Then we can't go together, and we can't win the competition."
"It would be embarrassing to go."
Shi Tou's earlier excitement had faded, and upon hearing Miao Miao's words, he told his mother, "Then I won't go either."
Cui Ping turned her head and said disdainfully, "Hehe, that's not what you said just now."
Shi Tou shook his head. "Well, we're all revolutionary comrades, we should share weal and woe, we can't be traitors."
Cui Ping sneered, "Smooth talker, just like you from the Yu family."
Yu Zecheng smiled sullenly, inwardly admiring Yang Xiaotao's move.
Upon seeing this situation, Ran Hongbing immediately shook his head helplessly, "If no one's going, how can I go?"
Ran Qiuye looked up and said, "That won't do, this is a mission from the Ninth Division."
"Since you've accepted the assignment, you can't give it up."
"Go find your teammates. I believe in you, you'll definitely find them."
Ran Hongbing opened his mouth, a sudden twitch in his heart.
"Big sister, I'm your own brother."
Sure enough, between her son and her younger brother, she was closer to her son.
The old Taoist priest and Elder Ye chuckled, then huddled together and said, "This kid's tricks are getting more and more sophisticated; the children are still too naive."
Upon hearing this, Old Ye put his hands behind his back and looked at Yang Xiaotao in the crowd, smiling mysteriously, "Just you wait and see, there's definitely a story behind this."
The old Taoist priest listened thoughtfully.
"Alright, then let's put this matter behind us."
"Let's all go home and cook dinner."
Yang Xiaotao spoke to everyone, and the others in the courtyard called for them to go home, making it very lively.
When they got home, Yang Xiaotao told the children to go play, and he and Ran Qiuye went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
"Speak, what exactly do you mean?"
As soon as she entered the kitchen, Ran Qiuye asked anxiously.
Yang Xiaotao, holding a kitchen knife and with his sleeves rolled up, asked, "What...what do you mean?"
Ran Qiuye stepped forward and pinched Yang Xiaotao's waist with two fingers.
hiss~~~
Yang Xiaotao gasped.
"Wife, wife, it hurts."
Ran Qiuye wouldn't let go either, "Don't think I don't know. If you didn't want them to go, you would have rejected it immediately."
"You mean you want them to go?"
Yang Xiaotao quickly put down the kitchen knife and hugged his wife. Not wanting to be taken advantage of, he reached out and pinched her fattest spot.
Ran Qiuye let out a soft groan and relaxed her fingers.
"I am fully promoting democracy and listening to the opinions of young revolutionary comrades."
Yang Xiaotao was talking nonsense, but Ran Qiuye didn't believe him. Seeing that her fingers weren't working, she grabbed down hard.
"Wife, you're playing with fire."
"Hmph, come on, who's afraid of who?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotao gave in and nodded, saying, "Actually, I'd like them to go out and see the world."
"I knew it was."
Ran Qiuye strained, and Yang Xiaotao breathed heavily, trying to stay calm.
"We can't keep our children tied up in the courtyard house. Let them go out and explore, see the world with their eyes, and feel the world with their hearts. That way, they will understand the world better."
Yang Xiaotao spoke softly, but Ran Qiuye could sense the expectation in his words.
"Then why did you bring up age?"
"Haha, this is just to let them calm down. Besides, this needs to be done quietly."
At this point, a serious look flashed in Yang Xiaotao's eyes.
It would be a lie to say I'm not worried, but as long as we make preparations in all aspects, we can be completely safe.
I need to talk to Lao Yu about this.
"Then, what about age?"
Ran Qiuye's breath was fragrant, and after she finished speaking, she felt a little hot.
Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "Age is not a problem. As long as you say you are ten years old when you register, who can check?"
"Besides, Duanwu and Xiaoyu are not short at all; some people would believe they are twelve or thirteen."
Ran Qiuye nodded in agreement, but she was still a little worried.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao tightened his grip again, "Don't worry, since I'm letting them go, there won't be any problems."
Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaotao, then, sensing the situation, quickly said, "Let go."
Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "I can let go, but not tonight."
Ran Qiuye blushed, then whispered, "Whatever you want~"
