"Does Aunt Qi drink water?" Zhou Guangming looked at Second Sister Qi and asked again.

"I'm not thirsty, I don't drink anymore. Second Sister Qi looked at Zhou Guangming and said, "Let's go play!"

Second Sister Qi watched Zhou Guangming leave, and then looked at Hua Banzhi and asked, "Then what are you doing making a cradle?"

"It's made up for the little baby in your belly. Hua Banzhi pointed to her big belly and said.

"Ah!" Qi Ermei looked at her and said in surprise, "What's so embarrassing?"

"Just when I give a gift to a child, what's embarrassing. Hua Banzhi looked at her and smiled, changed the subject, "Seeing that the month is older, are the things for the child ready?"

"What is there to prepare, his sister's leftover clothes, just change them. Second Sister Qi said casually, "And I heard the eldest girl and his father say that the summer is long, and the winter is not hot, so I said the wrong thing......" Quickly changed her words, "It shouldn't be cold, so you don't need to prepare anything?"

"Who said that the winters here are also very cold, but the winter time is short, not without winter. Hua Banzhi looked at her and said seriously, "It's just that you don't need to prepare so thick, you have to prepare what you should prepare." ”

"In that case, it's very simple. Second Sister Qi said in a relaxed tone. "Isn't it just a cotton coat? ”

"And small clothes, frog pillows......"

Second Sister Qi interrupted her and said, "Wait, what is the frog pillow?"

Hua Banzhi took the bamboo strip and drew the shape of a frog pillow on the ground.

Second Sister Qi smiled knowingly and said, "It's a pillow for a long time! The buckwheat pillow that our babies sleep on has flattened their heads and looks good in a ponytail." ”

"It's not good to look at the back of the head when it's flattened!" Hua Banzhi drew two pictures on the ground with bamboo strips, "Compare it, you see." He turned around and called out to the light, "The light comes." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Guangming ran over and said, "Mother." ”

"You always say that my family looks like a doll, so do you think this head is a question mark?" Hua Banzhi looked at Zhou Guangming and said, "Come and squat down and let your Aunt Qi take a look." ”

Second Sister Qi looked at Zhou Guangming who was squatting in front of her, "It's so cute." ”

"Okay, let's go!" Hua Banzhi patted Zhou Guangming on the shoulder.

Zhou Guangming looked at the two of them and said, "I'm over." ”

"Hmm!" Hua Banzhi looked at Zhou Guangming with soft eyes and nodded, and after he left, he looked at Qi Ermei and said, "Look at the dolls in the window in the department store, their heads are round, and their heads are flat after sleeping." ”

Second Sister Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's true that you said that." He smiled and said, "That doll is so beautiful." "You draw me a picture, I'll make a frog pillow for the child, and sleep my son's head beautifully." ”

Son?Hua Banzhi moved his lips, and then replied cheerfully, "No problem." ”

"You're really good at what you do. Qi Ermei stroked the cradle and said, "Each piece of bamboo strip is cut evenly, the size is the same as the thickness, and it must be smooth and beautiful, this work depends on people is real kung fu." ”

"The bamboo strips are cut by people. Hua Banzhi looked at her and smiled.

"That's a good stall owner. Qi Ermei looked at her whitened hand and said, "This is also very laborious to make up, a man's job." In other words, Mr. Lin is willing to let you do this kind of work. ”

"Isn't he not at home?" said Hua Banzhi with a sly smile.

"Don't tell me you made it up. Qi Ermei pointed to the bamboo weaving thing in the courtyard.

"yes! I made it up. Hua Banzhi spread out his hand and said, "You see my hand is fine, the hand from the countryside is strong." Pointing to the cradle on the mouth, he said, "When piercing, two bamboo strips should be bent into two circles, and the edge of the cradle should be sandwiched in the middle. ”

"You can do it, it's a prelude. Second Sister Qi looked at her and shook her head slightly.

"yes! He can't help it when he comes back. "Flower Banzhi smiled slyly and slyly.

"Actually, you don't have to do this!" Second Sister Qi's eyes widened, "To be honest, don't be angry, your teacher Lin's salary is high, and it won't cost a lot of money to buy these things." ”

"I know. Hua Banzhi looked at her with clear eyes and nodded, "If I don't know, then buy it, why waste money if I can make it up." No one's money is blown by the wind, and I don't want to spend his money, and I spend it with peace of mind. It feels like eating rice. ”

Second Sister Qi put her hand on her forehead and said, "Don't burn!"

"What's the matter, I'm not sick. The flower half-branch brushed her hand away.

"Then how can you talk nonsense?" Qi Ermei looked at her in surprise and said, "As the saying goes: marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat." This man is the breadwinner, eats him, spends him, and that's as it should be. When a woman gives birth to children, takes care of the elderly, and performs her own duties, why does it change the taste in your mouth?"

"It's not that I've lost my taste, it's that men are unreliable. Hua Banzhi raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said calmly, "I raised you before marriage, it sounds sweet." After marriage, I will raise you! Add an extra 'of' word, and you will instantly lose your status in the family. Asking for money in the palm of his hand is as humble as begging. ”

"My eldest girl and her father didn't say that. The corner of Qi Ermei's mouth flashed a sweet smile and said, "The financial power of the family is in my hands." Why are you struggling so much with your own man?"

Hua Banzhi smiled and shook his head slightly in his heart, what if a man cares about you?

The cruel reality and more knowledge have taught her never to pin her hopes on others, especially men.

Men will attribute the tiredness of work to you, thinking that you don't work to increase his pressure, and a little unhappiness in life will also be attributed to you, thinking that you can't even take care of your family if you don't work to make money.

On the contrary, if he works well, men will feel that he is capable, and few men will feel that he has a strong backing from his wife, so that he has no worries to concentrate on the credit, and he will take it for granted that you do all the housework.

And very few men will take care of the children at home and do housework as a tiring thing that can be compared to work, even if some work is easy to read the newspaper and chat in the office, you are very tired of doing housework at home, he will feel that he has a lot of credit.

Expecting a man to have a conscience is too small.

Hua Banzhi's gaze turned to Second Sister Qi, Chen Dali's work is now going smoothly and everywhere is smooth. The two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they have experienced war, and they see the truth in adversity, which is different from ordinary people.
