(Due to the excessive number of words in this chapter, it has been updated in two parts, and the following is the first half of "43a".) ）

"There was a red glow on the top of the mountain, and the fog was in the valley, and there was a small cuckoo in the woods, and it sang loudly to me...... The two chopsticks are the same length, it helps people eat, the big fish and meat are tasted, and the taste is delicious, it knows ......" On Friday afternoon, Yangyang faced the TV, sitting in the living room and singing children's songs while flipping through the picture book. Lao Ma also faced the TV, listening to Yangyang singing children's songs while watching TV. In the 33-degree weather, although the air conditioner was on, the room was still hot, and the rippling children's voices were like a cooling medicine, which made the old man quiet and happy.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, He Zhiyuan hid in the house alone, lying on the big bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. I am busy in the morning, at noon, and at night, and I can only rest for a while in the afternoon. After beating him up and stopping updating new novels, he found himself very tired. In a long day, I was only mentally mented when I was chopping vegetables and stir-frying, and the rest of the time I was groggy all the time, whether I went out to buy breakfast in the morning, went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, or stayed at home to work, the whole person was so tired that I seemed to be able to fall down and snore anytime and anywhere.

In the past, when I was a teacher in class and at work, I would be tired when I got home; Later, with Yangyang's wholehearted care, he was tense all the time before she was three years old, and as long as Yangyang was not in him, he was so tired that he could fall asleep at any time; Later, he began to write novels, doing housework is hard homework, writing is also hard homework, but at home he is always nervous, and he falls asleep as soon as he touches the pillow at night. It's been different lately, and he can't sleep at night. The more he couldn't sleep, the more he didn't dare to look at the time, and the night Gui Ying was drunk on Tuesday, he didn't sleep all night.

The world seems to be upside down, He Zhiyuan can't find his origin, yesterday he was groggy, today he is groggy, and tomorrow is also groggy. Afraid of being discovered by Gui Ying, as soon as Gui Ying came home from work, he behaved energetically, and he was afraid that his children would find out that he locked himself in the house and pretended to be writing a novel; Afraid of being discovered by his father-in-law, once he is alone, he is always busy with housework.

Gui Ying's stomach is much better, and it still hurts from time to time. Today Friday is not busy with work, she got off work at half past six and went home. At seven o'clock in the evening, after the family finished eating, Gui Ying made an appointment with a doctor from the gastroenterology department of the Chinese medicine hospital on her mobile phone, planning to go to the Chinese medicine hospital this weekend to pick up the medicine for conditioning and conditioning.

"Grandpa, shall I give you a riddle?" At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Yang, who was wearing only a pair of floral pants, came over to talk to Lao Ma with a picture book.

"Cheng, you say!" The old horse lay on the sofa, turned off the TV, and seriously cooperated with Yangyang.

"There is a bird lying on the tree, its head is very similar to that of a cat, it can see clearly at night, and it has a high ability to catch mice." Yang Yang finished reciting it like singing a nursery rhyme, and then said to his grandfather with an expectant face: "Guess a bird!" ”

"Humph!" Lao Ma couldn't help but smile at Gui Ying, who was sitting next to him, and deliberately teased the child's house: "Oh, what bird?" Swallow? ”

"That's not right!" Yang Yang turned his head and pouted.

"So what? Crane? ”

"What? Grandpa, what did you say? ”

"I said crane, is the mystery a crane?"

"N-yes!" Yang Yang vetoed loudly.

"Oh, could it be an owl?" Lao Ma squeezed his eyebrows and pretended to be ugly, which made Gui Ying, who was in the circle of friends, also laugh.

"That's right! It's an owl! Yang Yang tilted his head to announce the answer.

"Oops, that's hard to guess! How about Grandpa give you a riddle? The old horse held his head in one hand and asked his little tanhua with a smile.

"Hmm...... OK! ”

"Let me think about it first!" The old horse pondered for a moment, thought of the simplest, and said slowly: "Sometimes it bends like a boat, sometimes it is round like a plate, whether it looks like a boat or a plate, you can guess it!" ”

"Huh?" Yangyang didn't understand her grandfather's half-native Mandarin too much. Gui Ying drew a boat painting on the side to explain, Yang Yang laughed and still didn't understand, and the old horse had to reveal the answer: "It's the moon!" The moon in the sky, you know? ”

"Uh...... All right! Yang Yang said embarrassedly.

"Then grandpa will come out with another one, do you want one?"

"Yes." Yang Yang nodded.

"There are many starters, the chessboard is big, the children are cold, not cold!" Lao Ma thought that this time the Mandarin was more perfect, who wanted to Yangyang didn't understand it.

"Mom will read it to you - there are many chess pieces, the chessboard is big, you can only look at it, you can't play it! What is the mystery? Gui Ying was gesturing again, Yang Yang didn't know what to do, and smiled silently.

"It's a star in the sky!" The old horse pointed to the way of heaven to break the mystery.

"But I haven't seen it!" Yang Yang shook his little hand and retorted innocently.

"You haven't seen the stars?" The old horse pointed to the ceiling, his eyes wide.

"Where are the stars in the city? She used to sleep at eight o'clock, but now she sleeps at nine o'clock, even if there are lights everywhere at twelve o'clock at night in Shenzhen, where can she see the stars? Gui Ying defended her daughter.

"Oh my baby, poor to death! Hurry up and go to your grandfather's house to see the stars, okay? The stars of the day, shining and beautiful! The old horse drew a heavenly flatbread, which caused Yang Yang to be stunned.

"What are you doing? It's so noisy! Tsai listened lively, and couldn't help but step on the slippers and click out.

"Your grandfather and Yangyang guessed riddles!"

"Low is not low! Which age is still guessing riddles! The boy let out a pop.

"There are riddles in people's kindergarten textbooks, Low, what Low! Oh! You didn't study it as a child? Gui Ying rolled her eyes.

Lao Ma thought of an interesting one and said to Zaizai: "Just now, I thought of a good riddle, Zaizi, you can guess it too!" If you guess right, you will be rewarded! Listen, oh - it grows on a tree, it sinks in water. There is fragrance and taste, green and red! ”

"What award?" Tsai Tsai was curious.

"You don't care about the awards! I've guessed it right beforehand! ”

"Flowers?" Gui Ying replied.

"That's not right!" The old horse closed his eyes slightly and shook his head proudly, and when he saw that everyone's expressions were amazing, he clapped his hands and jumped up inexplicably.

"Kelp? Nori? Tsai straightened his neck and tried it.

"That's not right! Again, 'Grow in a tree, sink in water.'" There is fragrance and taste, green and red! 'Guess one and get five dollars!' The old horse took out five dollars from his pocket and shook it around, causing Yang Yang to stand on tiptoe to grab the money.

"Chinese medicine?" Gui Ying asked.

"That's not right! If you can't guess again, I'll announce the answer! ”

"Wait, wait!" Tsai begged, pondered for a moment and said, "It's red dates!" ”

"Huh! Still not right! Haha......" The old horse slapped his thigh happily and laughed, then stuffed the five yuan back into his trouser pocket, looked at the three and said, "It's tea!" Grows on trees and sinks in water. There is fragrance and taste, green and red! You wonder if it's tea! ”

Gui Ying put down her phone and smiled mysteriously: "I'll give one, and I'll give ten yuan if I answer correctly!" ”

"Oh my God!" Tsai Tsai was so excited that he stood in the middle of the living room, moving his feet around.

"'Glacier thawing' - hit a city name!" After Gui Ying finished speaking, she covered her mobile phone tightly and pursed her lips and snickered, and did not forget to remind Zaizai: "You are not allowed to check your mobile phone, and it doesn't count if you check your mobile phone!" ”

"A few words?" Tsai asked.

"Two words - the name of a city in a northern province!" Gui Ying covered her mouth excitedly after speaking.

"Ice Thaw...... Hit a city...... Two words...... Northern...... Kaifeng in Henan? The old horse looked at the sky with his eyes, and thought of Kaifeng.

"Oh yes! It's Kaifeng! Hurry up and receive red envelopes! Gui Ying pointed at the old man and stomped his foot.

"I'll make one! You wait! Tsai Tsai turned on his mobile phone and opened the Internet to find riddles, and after a long time, he said: "I came up with an anagram." 'Chengdu dialect' - type a word! Hahaha, let's see if you two can still do it! Tsai Tsai stood on the side and twisted around, causing Yang Yang to clap his hands and jump excitedly.

"Chengdu dialect ......" Gui Ying swiped his right hand in the palm of his left hand, pretending to ponder for a long time and then said: "Chengdu dialect sizzles...... Teach? A reprimand? ”

"Oh my god, you're a genius! It's so hard to answer! ”

"My stupid son, I heard it when I was drinking with customers, how could I guess it at once if I hadn't heard it so hard! I have also heard that 'Beijing vernacular' is forgiveness, and 'gathering gold into a tower' is the Xin of Sanjin! ”

"Ahh And he also goes' - type a word, the simplest word! ”

The old horse looked up and stared at the boy, stunned for a few seconds before speaking: "Chinese people? ”

"My grandfather was a genius too! No, no, it's too easy for me to come out! I'm going to have a little harder again! 'No one in the room' – type a word! ”

"Zhuang - Zhuang of the village! It's easy! Gui Ying shook her head and complained.

"'A Thousand Miles Together'—what word?"

"Chongqing's heavy! This is easy, too! "Old Marton lost three points of interest.

"You two are awesome! This - 'half spring and half summer', what word? ”

Gui Ying's right index finger drew on the left palm for a long time, and complained: "This is a bit difficult to guess, give me some hints!" ”

"It's about the words 'spring' and 'summer' – it's about the strokes!"

Dozens of seconds later, the old horse said: "Mai's wheat? ”

“Bingo！ My grandfather got it right! One more, 'A Pillar in the South Sky' - type! ”

The old horse couldn't guess, scratched his hair and said, "I have no culture, I can't guess this word!" ”

"Bragging! You definitely know this word, even Yangyang has learned it! Tsai pointed to the ripples, and Lao Ma and Gui Ying looked down at the ripples of Mu Ne with their index fingers, and both smiled.

Two minutes passed, and seeing that grandpa and mother still couldn't guess, Tsai reported the answer: "It's one!" Dare you say you won't! And one of you, 'the poor are suing'—what is the word? ”

Gui Ying couldn't guess and asked, "Is there a hint?" ”

"This has nothing to do with the strokes, you have to guess from the meaning! It's similar to the 'Chengdu dialect' training just now. ”

At this time, Zhiyuan came, and seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he smiled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"We're guessing riddles! Come on, come on, you hurry up and join in! Now the question is out! Boy, it can't be too difficult, it's too difficult for your grandfather to guess! Gui Ying snickered and pointed at the old horse, who sighed disdainfully.

"'Poor man fights lawsuit' - type a word!"

"Hao-Hao of Bai Xu, I told my students about this before!" Zhiyuan sat beside Gui Ying and smiled embarrassedly.

"Alright! It's Hao! What about this - 'tirade', play an idiom, a four-character idiom! ”

"That's the case, let's play as a family, make it formal, and give out red envelopes if you answer correctly! The difficult one is ten yuan, and the easiest one is one! Whoever wins is the question! What do you think? Gui Ying nodded again when she saw that everyone was speechless, so she looked at Zai Tsai and said, "You say it again, and then talk about the amount of red envelopes!" ”

"'Long speech', type a four-character idiom! Get it right and get two dollars! ”

"It's only two!" Gui Ying raised her eyebrows.

"It's the easiest!"

Zhiyuan clasped his hands on his chest and replied with a smile: "A thousand words!" ”

"A long story - a thousand words!" Gui Ying clapped her hands and asked her son, "Is it not?" ”

"Yes - the red envelope has been sent! My dad answered too neatly! Whoever wins is out! Your turn! Tsai Tsai pointed to his dad and said.

"Okay, then I'll make one!" Zhiyuan sat beside Gui Ying, clasped his hands to his chest, pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, and said: "'A body of hair, four hands, sitting like a human, crawling like a dog' - beating an animal." This is not difficult, and three pieces will be awarded if you answer correctly! What do you think? After Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked around at everyone.

"Monkeys?" Zhiyuan hasn't finished reading it yet, Lao Ma said one first.

"Hehehe...... It's a monkey! Your grandfather answered faster! Zhiyuan picked up his mobile phone and sent a small red envelope of three yuan to Lao Ma. Lao Ma happily held his mobile phone in both hands, clicked on it and received the little red envelope.

"Okay! It's my turn! I'm talking about an animal, too. 'The eyes are not big, the tail is slender, and they steal for a living, and whoever sees them fights' - Animals! ”

"Mouse! Mouse? Tsai Tsai and Gui Ying spoke in unison.

"Oops, this one is so easy! Shall I give you two a dollar each? Lao Ma said as he began to operate the two-yuan red envelope according to the process in his heart.

"Okay! A dollar is money! Tsai said holding his mobile phone.

Gui Ying saw everyone waiting, and spoke: "Then I'll come out next!" I found a difficult one from my phone, listen! 'Born in the water, afraid of the water, once in the water, there is no trace' - hit the things in the kitchen, eat and eat! ”

Tsai asked, "Which kind?" Vegetable? Meat? Kitchen utensils or what? ”

"I can't be too specific, it's not a staple of vegetables and meat, but you eat every day!"

"Oil?" As soon as Zai Zai finished speaking, Zhiyuan said one: "Salt or white vinegar!" ”

"Ahh It's salt! Gui Ying's eyebrows fluttered and said to her husband beside her: "Two yuan!" Dear, receive red envelopes! ”

Zhiyuan accepted the red envelope, thought about it, and said: "'The head is like an oolong, the body is like a centipede, the black is angry, and the walk is like the wind!'" '—Take a transport! ”

"Trains? Train! Tsai Tsai and Lao Ma replied one after the other.

"Hahaha...... It's a train! Three dollars per person! I sent a total of six yuan in the group, two people receive it, you two grab the red envelope! ”

When Tsai heard this, he alertly opened the group message and rushed to grab the red envelope! "Ahh Five pieces and seven cents! Hahaha...... Grandpa, you can only grab three cents! Oops! This game is good - stabbing - exciting! Everyone was happy when they saw Tsai Tsai holding up his mobile phone and shouting and jumping.

"Whoever grabs more will make a riddle!" The old horse said to the boy.

"Wait! Oh yes! 'Boxy, mingling with people, sweating, counting it is the busiest' - hit a daily necessities. Reminder, I've never seen it before, I only saw it after my grandfather came, and my grandfather has this thing on him now! Tsai pretended to smile mysteriously at his grandfather, and Yang Yang also ran to his grandfather's side to look up and down, left and right.

"Say it again!"

"'Boxy, mingling with people, sweating, counting it is the busiest' - hitting a daily necessities, an elderly person of my grandfather's age is estimated to be useful!"

The old horse replied calmly: "Sweat towel!" Isn't it? ”

"That's right! The answer is a square scarf, a sweat scarf! But my grandma doesn't need it, Grandma Zhou Zhou, my classmates' grandparents don't use it, I only see you use it alone! It's amazing! After speaking, Tsai Tsai glanced at his parents, and the two of them were smiling strangely with their eyes.

Lao Ma raised his eyes and looked at the boy with disdain, took out his square scarf from the pocket on his chest, shook it, and added: "I have never seen the world!" There are so many people who use this! After speaking, he wiped his sweat, folded it, and put it back in his pocket.

"It's not that no one uses it now, it's just that there are fewer people who use it! At that time, there was no toilet paper, and then there was toilet paper, and when there was toilet paper, toilet paper was also very expensive, and how dare the people in the village use toilet paper to wipe their buttocks and nose every day! When I was a child, all the children in the village used sweat towels, who didn't have male and female babies? I also use a pin to pin my chest, specifically to wipe my nose! It's just that I used it less later! Gui Ying popularized the story of sweat towels to her children.

"Alright, it's my turn! This is what my husband taught me when I was a child: 'The things of the generations, everything is clear, everyone's words, every sentence is clear' - type of books! ”

Tsai Gui Ying frowned and thought about it, and Zhiyuan suddenly replied: "History books!" ”

"Right! It's a history book! Give you three bucks! After Lao Ma finished speaking, he grinned and gave Zhiyuan a red envelope of three yuan, and Zhiyuan also accepted it beautifully.

"Well...... Yang Yang ran to his father's knee and hummed, Zhiyuan comforted: "Don't call, don't call!" Dad's red envelopes are all yours! Sizzle...... I'm out of this interesting! 'Wood carving and bamboo painting, leading the slave out of the hall, speaking for the slave' - playing a traditional art! Tsai, you also spent money to see it in the Grand Theater, and I told you about it when I went to the museum! Zhiyuan reminded his son.

"Shadow puppetry!" The old horse stretched out his neck to probe.

"Uh...... No, but it's close! ”

Tsai scratched his ears and cheeks, Gui Ying looked surprised and said, "I know!" Puppet show! ”

"That's right! It's a puppet show! Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Give five yuan for this!" ”

Gui Ying crooked her head and accepted the red envelope happily, and then found a riddle from her mobile phone and read: "'There is a city in all directions, the city is full of soldiers and horses, two generals sit opposite each other, and it is better to win or lose than to win or lose without using swords and guns' - play a game!" Hahaha...... This riddle is worth five bucks! ”

The old horse intersected his fingers, leaned against the sofa and said calmly: "Let's play chess!" Is it chess? ”

"Humph! Be! The old village chief's combat effectiveness is okay! Gui Ying pointed and sent a five-yuan red envelope on her mobile phone.

Lao Ma accepted the red envelope, pursed his lips and said: "Guessing riddles, I played better than you when I was a child!" I want to think about it...... This is interesting: 'The general gives an order, the soldier listens to it, the general's order is good, and the soldier is troubled!' '—Play a game! After saying that, the old horse sat up with a smile, clasped his hands to his chest, and laughed in his throat.

"It's just a riddle, right?" Tsai said bluntly.

"It's a riddle! Why aren't you sure? From your uncertainty, originally five pieces now give one, meaning meaning! ”

"So little!" Tsai Tsai opened his nostrils and snorted and said, "I have a harder one, which is difficult for all of you!" Listen! 'Cao Cao raised his troops in the dark, Zhou Yu used fire to attack, Kong Ming borrowed the wind and brought a fan, and the thick fog was too peaceful' - hit a thing, used in summer. ”

"Say it again, say it slowly!" Gui Ying lifted her chin at her son.

Tsai Tsai then slowly read it again according to his mobile phone: "'Cao Cao raised his troops in the dark, Zhou Yu used his technique to attack with fire, Kong Ming borrowed the wind and brought a fan, and the thick fog was peaceful' - this riddle is worth eight yuan and eight! Hit a thing, our family used to use it every summer, but in the past few years, we don't use it, use another live one! ”

"Air conditioner every summer?"

"Fan? Folding fan? ”

Gui Ying frowned and said to herself: "The fog is too peaceful-mosquito coils? ”

"Ahh Tsai shook his head again and again, heard the mosquito coil, his eyes were round, and he pointed at his mother and shouted: "My mother is right!" It's mosquito coils! ”

"Oh, this red envelope is very generous and not like you!" Gui Ying was stunned, and Yang Yang ran to see the red envelope her mother received.

"Okay, I'll give my baby one too! Don't say it! Listen, Mommy will give you a riddle, listen to it - 'round and bulging, fluttering, swaying, going straight to the sky' - hit a toy, you have it in the house! ”

"Huh?" Yang Yang was confused.

"Blow! Can you play as a ball if you blow it up? What is it? Zhiyuan gestured with both hands to remind his daughter.

"What?" Yang Yang bit his little hand and was still puzzled.

"A toy! It's very light, it's very light, and it flies up as soon as you pat it......" Gui Ying bowed her head and explained patiently.

Yang Yang pointed to the ceiling and said timidly, "Is it that bubble?" ”

"Bubbles? Bubbles are right, too! Gui Ying turned to look at everyone, and then said to Yangyang, "Balloon, isn't it?" Bulging into the sky? ”

"Hmm!" Yang Yang nodded in affirmation.

"Oops, it's not fun to let her in!" Tsai complained and stomped his feet to urge.

"Okay! Don't add her! Let me make a special reminder first, our family has something that we use every day. Listen: 'Cao Cao's stomach is empty, Zhou Lang attacks with fire, Guan Gong passes on the water bag, Kong Ming borrows the east wind' - hit a daily necessities from fifty years ago! Zhiyuan nodded and smiled at everyone.

"Hookah?" Gui Ying asked, pointing to the hookah that the old man had placed on the armrest of the sofa.

"Ah...... How do you guess? It's a hookah! Incredible! Five bucks for you! Zhiyuan laughed and was shocked, and shook his head frequently.

"Hahaha...... When you say hydration bag, I think of his hookah! Gee! I made a lot of money tonight! It's time for me to get out, my one is educational and ironic. After Gui Ying finished speaking, he held the mobile phone in his left hand to read the riddle, and his right hand compared it to the riddle on his body, and said: "'Look at **** from afar, watch the monkey boxing up close, there is no half a piece of cloth on the body, but a towel in your hand' - play a living habit, except for your grandfather, everyone else has a habit every night!" ”

"Take a bath! Our family counts my grandfather not taking a bath at night! Tsai pointed at his grandfather and pouted and raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't I wash it? Did you see me in the morning or at noon when I took a shower? I wash it almost every three days! Clean enough! The old horse touched the collar of his clothes and pretended to be angry.

"I've never seen you take a shower anyway!" Gui Ying pouted.

"I washed it, and my dad washed it a lot in the morning! In the morning when I cook! Zhiyuan worked hard to clarify the truth that was rare in this family.

"Okay, okay, let my grandfather go! I'm out of you listen! 'A good friend, who comes to meet every day, and the facts tell me, never speaks' - hit a ...... Something that's gone! It used to be everywhere on the streets, but now it's gone! I can't see anywhere! ”

"Breakfast stand? No way! ”

"That's not right!"

"Morning news? Now there are too! ”

"It's getting closer!"

"Gone now—the newspaper?" After Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Zai Zai for judgment.

Tsai clapped his hands and said, "It's a newspaper!" ”

The family talked to me until half past ten.
