189 The figure at the door is the first shift
The next day, Li Aobai still got up early and went for a morning run.
Zhang Xiaoqiang saw that the calendar on the wall was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and she still wanted to sleep a little longer, so she was really reluctant to leave the warm bed.
There is quite a lot of work to do today, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. There is also an enamel basin on the side of the kang, and the noodles have been made inside. She was worried that her noodles were in the kitchen yesterday, but she couldn't get up due to the low temperature, so she put them on the kang in the afternoon.
Quickly clean up and start washing. Zhang Xiaoqiang stared at the mirror on the wall for a long time, and for more than a year, she has indeed looked much better. The hair was also longer, and this time I was in too much of a hurry to come back and didn't go for a haircut. But the long hair shawl is more charming.
Zhang Xiaoqiang still tied up the rubber band, which was very energetic.
The kitchen has the fillings that were mixed yesterday, so steaming the buns is much easier.
When the preparations were ready, Li Aobai returned. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I began to add water to the fire, the standard style of a good man.
Because the dough is in place, the buns are steamed very well. There is a special thing in the countryside that the better the steamed bun for the New Year, the more prosperous the life will be in the coming year.
The steamed buns are white and fat, six steamed buns, and three steamed buns. After steaming, Zhang Xiaoqiang hung them upside down, so that they could be easily stored in a basket of steamed buns.
Li Aobai took a bite first, blew and ate it, and suddenly drew out the greedy worms in his stomach.
Zhang Xiaoqiang fried some cabbage vermicelli and boiled some bud grits.
A family plus Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen, eight people. A basket of steamed buns and rice was swept empty.
Grandma was eating when the bun fell on the table again. Zhang Xiaoqiang took advantage of the time when everyone went out after eating and gave the medicine to her grandmother. There were only two grains, and I watched my grandmother eat them.
Then it was still Zhang Xiaoqiang who cleaned up the mess.
The morning time is gone, the New Year is approaching, and everyone is blindly following to do something.
The family went out, and Yang Aobai read a book on the kang.
At this time, there was a figure of a man at the door, and Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that his father was coming as soon as he saw this figure. But he was too embarrassed to enter the courtyard, and hesitated left and right at the door.
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked over, and her father rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said, "I'll take a look at you." How are you guys? ”
"Well, very good, don't worry! Let's go, sit in the house. The head is cold. Zhang Xiaoqiang let her father into the house.
Seeing his father's searching eyes. She knew she was looking for her brother. She called her brother's name into Li Jun's room. Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen ran out in response, and Zhang Chen also asked, "Sister, is there anything delicious?" ”
Zhang Yongchang saw his two sons come out, the little boy who was once thin and weak and timid was now white and pure, like a city baby. Especially Zhang Chen, his fleshy face became round after a little length, and no matter who saw it, he wanted to touch that round face.
Zhang Yang saw his father. The smile on his face stopped, and he was stunned in place. Zhang Chen didn't ask anything delicious anymore. He also stood still in place.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said Zhang Yang: "Yangwa, Dad came to see us." ”
Li Jun also came out, and when he saw Zhang Yongchang, he shouted: "Uncle, come into the house, it's cold outside." ”
Zhang Yongchang entered Li Jun's house. On the kang is still the endgame of chess just now, and next to it is the uncle of the three children. The thick quilt and the warm kang showed that the child did not suffer here, and his heart was full of self-reproach and gratitude.
He stretched out his hands to his youngest son, wishing he could come into his arms. In the past, the child was injured and beaten, and he had never held the child, so he especially wanted to hug the child.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Chenwa, go, let our dad hug you." Zhang Chen heard his sister say this, so he walked to his father's side.
Zhang Yongchang took his son into his arms, which came too late. He now knows that he loves these three children, but he used to be too stingy with this father's love, thinking that as long as he is around.
During the period when the child went out and returned safely, he was always obsessed with the memories of the child. The pain anesthetized his nerves, and he could only cry bitterly in front of Wu Lan's grave. When I returned home, I was silent and ignored no one.
When his son and daughter returned safely, he immediately felt like he was hugging the child. He owes not only his father's generous embrace, but also care and protection.
Although the child returned, he did not stay at home. He hasn't had a good time these days, and he has secretly come to Lao Li's house a few times, but he has never been embarrassed to come in. Standing at the door, or looking around, watching the two sons jumping around in the yard, listening to Li Jun's laughter in the house.
I happened to be seen by my own woman today, and I was a little embarrassed. Zhang Xiaoqiang also hated her father's incompetence and foolishness many times, and when she came back this time, when she saw her father's old face, frost-dyed black hair, and no longer straighten his back, the hatred in his heart was gone.
The father, after all, is the one who gave his son his life, and this bloodline cannot be broken.
Zhang Chen shouted: "Dad! ”
Zhang Yongchang's tears fell. Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to wipe his tears and said, "Dad, don't cry!" ”
The two sons finally recognized themselves, and he was so happy.
Once when his son was pumped by Ou Chunhua's broom, he shouted Dad, Dad, Dad, he was indifferent when he heard it, thinking that the boy was naughty and should be educated.
When Zhou Congxiang lifted Zhang Yang's ears, the thin Zhang Yang's feet were off the ground, and his mouth was also shouting Dad, he couldn't save his son, and finally Zhang Yang's ears were swollen for a long time.
Later, when the two children were beaten, they stopped shouting, but cried, and when they were done, they slept in the hut.
Therefore, the child looks at him strangely, and he will not come close to him.
Zhang Yongchang said to his daughter: "Qiang girl, can Yangwa and Chenwa let me take them back?" ”
Zhang Xiaoqiang said affirmatively: "No, after the year, I will take them to school in Hacheng." ”
He knew that it was all self-inflicted. He seemed to want to say something more, but he swallowed it without saying it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang will no longer rest assured that her two relatives will be placed in such an environment, and the two children are not yet capable of protecting themselves. Take it with you, provide them with you, let them read, let them grow.
Zhang Xiaoqiang said to her father: "Dad, we will take time to come back to see you every year." In the past few days, you have nothing to do, come over, accompany your brother, and we will leave after the New Year. ”
Zhang Yongchang nodded, not knowing how to say it. If the child continues to follow him, it will be impossible for him to come and live 24 hours a day, and with his current environment, he will not be able to give his two sons a good life and study conditions.
How he wished that his son would have a good life, and that his two young children would grow up in a normal environment. If his daughter does this, how can he object, he can only agree! (To be continued.) )
