The days passed like this, He Bai's two scarves had already been obtained, and it was close to the end of the year, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and all the students had already taken a vacation.

Every day, the alleys are filled with the cheers of children, who are holding firecrackers everywhere, and the sound of crisp laughter can be heard from afar.

It's okay all day today, Xia Ping plans to make some dumplings to eat, and she and He Bai went out to buy materials and moved in the kitchen.

For He Bai, who has never made dumplings, whether it is rolling dough or making dumplings, it is very testing.

After breaking the dumplings countless times, he was deflated and swapped places with Xia Ping, becoming her to roll out the dough.

Compared with making dumplings, rolling dough is relatively easy for him, although the dough is not evenly rolled at first, but after rolling seven or eight, he gradually got started, and he can roll the dough very well later.

Seeing this, Xia Ping praised him without hesitation, and praised the person proudly lifting his chin, and the movements of his hands became faster and faster.

In the end, when he rolled out a lot of dough, Xia Ping wrapped half of the dough, and when he threw down the rolling pin and wanted to run, Xia Ping hurriedly reached out and pulled him over.

"Baby, I won't wrap it, okay? This dumpling is too difficult to wrap. Staring at the dumplings that were wrapped like a small ingots by the little daughter-in-law, He Bai begged for mercy.

Xia Ping shook his head, "No, you wrap it slowly, it doesn't matter if the bag is ugly, I'll eat it." ”

After looking at the little daughter-in-law for a while, He Bai sighed, okay! Wrap it up!

He Baisheng, who was extremely reluctant in his heart, thinking that the ugly dumplings had damaged his image, picked up a piece of dough without love.

The two of them wrapped for more than an hour, and hundreds of dumplings were finally wrapped, and He Bai, who was already hungry, hurried to hot water to cook dumplings.

After eating and drinking, Xia Ping looked at so many dumplings and planned to divide a few portions to send to his mother and the He family.

After resting for a while, Xia Ping took the dumplings and He Bai to the compound, and He Bai, who had learned to be smart, bypassed the road that was always stuck in traffic and picked another road to the compound.

After arriving at the old house, he found the car parked at the door, he raised his eyebrows, and said that the old father would pick the time, I don't know if he counted the little daughter-in-law who made dumplings today and brought them back, so he went home in his busy schedule.

When I entered the door, I saw that only the old lady was sitting on the sofa watching the opera, and Old Man He and Father He should have gone to the study to talk about things.

Although the old man retired, he still asked about some important things, so every time his son came back, he would always call people to the study to talk for a while.

The old lady who saw her grandson and granddaughter-in-law coming back sat on the sofa with a person, pointed to the plot being played on the TV and said: "Look, this actor who plays Pan Jinlian is very good-looking." ”

He Bai saw the red-and-white face, pouted, the powder on it could make a dumpling, and he didn't know what the old lady's eyes were, and even said that she was good-looking.

But after seeing the little daughter-in-law nodding in agreement with the old lady's statement, He Bai completely doubted his vision, could it be that he didn't look carefully, so he didn't find the actor's shining point?

Got close to the TV and stared hard for a while.,The eyes really can't keep up with the two of them.,He's completely given up research.,Forgive me for my clumsiness.,I really don't know what's so good about this thing.。

After putting the dumplings in the kitchen and letting Aunt Liu cook some of them, he sat on the sofa and saw that the little daughter-in-law and the old lady were so fascinated by it, and pouted with disdain.

The babbling words are not clear, and they have to pull the tone for a long time when they say something, I really don't know what they have to look at.

Extremely depressed and puzzled, He Baidu paced to the backyard, circled around the glass flower room twice, took out his mobile phone and compared, and felt that his idea was still good, although the flower room was a little smaller, but it could be expanded after it was removed.

After comparing for a while, He Bai was very satisfied, thinking that he would find a time to talk to the old man and the old lady, and ask them to find someone to come to the door and get this thing done as soon as possible.

After grinding in the flower room for a while, knowing that it would be a long time before the two people in the room finished watching the opera, he paced slowly and slowly approached the small house with seven gourds.

The dog began to bark again after a long distance, and He Bai relied on them not to get out, and looked in through the railing after approaching, laughing at them and provoking them from time to time.

The seven gourd babies were almost by this human being, and they had never seen such a hated person, although he had the smell of that little girl, but it didn't prevent them from hating him.

The clever dogs knew that the big pig's trotters had arched the lovely little girl, and although they could not go out, they gnashed their teeth and stared at the white, and laughed louder.

Listening to their deafening roars, He Bai felt bad, and sure enough, a window on the first floor was opened with a bang, and an old man with a wrinkled face stood behind the window with a straight face, and the next moment, the roar of the roof about to be lifted came.

"You bastard, how many times have you said it, don't tease my gourd baby, I don't think you have a long memory if you don't beat you."

He Bai rubbed his ears, as if the voice was ringing in his ears, he shook his hand proudly at the window, and replied loudly: "Grandpa, don't be so loud, your granddaughter-in-law is in the living room, and you will be responsible for frightening her." ”

“…！” The old man choked, glanced at the door cautiously, didn't dare to yell loudly, and only pointed at him and asked him to leave his baby gourd baby quickly.

After closing the window, he looked at his son sitting across the table, paused for a while, and asked softly, "You said I was so loud just now, and my granddaughter-in-law didn't hear it, right?" This room is very soundproofed, you shouldn't hear it! ”

Looking at the old man's worried appearance, He Yuanshan held back a smile, cleared his throat, and replied with a straight look: "Dad, although the room is well insulated, if I am right, the sound of you almost lifting the roof must have been heard." ”

The old man wiped his face and said cautiously: "Since the granddaughter-in-law heard it, it means that your mother also heard it, right?" ”

"I think so." He Yuanshan nodded.

The old man collapsed on the chair in despair, yes, this time the image was completely ruined, not to mention, he might have to be reprimanded by his wife after his granddaughter-in-law left.

Old man He is depressed, how majestic Lao Tzu was when he was young, how can he think that when he is old, he has to grovel in front of his wife, but now it is good, he even has to think about speaking loudly.

But he didn't think that this was his own will, and the old man was close to collapse, and he slumped in the chair for a while before waving his hand to the son in front of him and signaling him to go out.

Then he secretly poked at the door and listened to the movement outside for a while, and only after realizing that he didn't say anything did he carefully open the door and walked out.

The old lady who had turned off the TV was sitting on the sofa chatting with Xia Ping, and when she saw the old man coming out of the study, she rolled her eyes.

It's been all day long, and I don't know what he's crazy about, what kind of roar he's okay to roar, such a silent wall can't stop his ghost roar, isn't it just seven dogs, the eldest grandson can tease it for a while if he wants to, anyway, he won't kill it, look at his baby, it's really annoying.

He Bai came in from outside with his hands behind his back, and he was in a very good mood when he made the seven gourd babies half dead, even the little daughter-in-law was occupied by her grandmother, which did not hinder her good mood.

The old man who got a white eye stared at those tiger eyes, if it weren't for the scruples of his granddaughter-in-law here, he would definitely pull this bastard out and beat him.

After the dumplings were cooked, regardless of the tension at this time, he listened to He Bai's instructions, only served three bowls, gave them to the old man and the old lady and He Father respectively, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Grandparents, this is the dumplings made by my daughter-in-law, and I brought them back for you to eat." He Bai raised his chin and said shamelessly.

The old lady ignored the unserious grandson, looking at the buns in the bowl like gold ingots, she only felt that her heart was very ironing, although it was just a bowl of dumplings, but it also proved that her granddaughter-in-law had her own heart, and she was already very satisfied with the family from time to time.

He Yuanshan scooped up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, swallowed it with a smack, nodded with a smile, and said to Xia Ping beside the old lady: "The dumplings are very good, you have a heart." ”

Xia Ping, who was praised by her future father-in-law, blushed, and said: "No, this is all done by He Bai and me." ”

"Oh, what kind of craft does this kid have?" He Yuanshan raised his eyebrows and looked at He Bai with satisfied suspicion in his eyes.

He Bai touched his nose, originally he was a little weak-hearted, after all, the dumplings he made were really unseeable, but looking at the suspicion in his father's eyes, he was very unhappy, and raised his chin and said proudly: "Of course, my craftsmanship is good, this is what to do, when I have time to cook you a Manchu full banquet, then you will be stunned." ”

"Okay, since you said that your craftsmanship is good, then this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be handed over to you, and then I will see if your craftsmanship is as good as you said." He Yuanshan took a deep look at his son and said slowly.

He Bai, who was assigned a job for no reason, was stunned, and just wanted to protest and stopped eating when he looked at his father's straight face.

All right! Isn't it just cooking? Just do it, is it still hard to get yourself? If not, it's a big deal to ask your mother-in-law for advice.

Between the two going back and forth, the old man had already finished eating the wontons, and he smacked his lips and beckoned Aunt Liu to serve another bowl.

Aunt Liu, who heard the voice, walked out of the kitchen, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and said softly: "You can have dinner soon, the old man should eat less!" ”

"Yes, eat less, or you won't be able to eat dinner." The old lady nodded and asked Aunt Liu to clean up the old man's bowl and not let him be greedy.

Seeing that his diet was arranged, the old man muttered in a low voice: "It's just a few dumplings, and the gaps between the teeth haven't been stuffed yet, why don't you let me eat them, the older this old woman gets, the more picky she gets, when we were young, the Manchu and Han Dynasty gave me food, why don't I even eat more wontons when I'm old." ”

He said this quietly, but Xia Ping, who only relied on the old lady, listened to it without a word, and glanced at the old man with surprise in his eyes, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, so he had to endure it hard.

He Yuanshan and He Bai are both deaf and clear-sighted, although they are a little far away, and they don't listen to the old man's words word for word like Xia Ping, but the intermittent sound can also make them guess.

Seeing that the little daughter-in-law was really difficult, He Bai stretched out his hand and pulled her over, and said to the three of them: "I'll take Pingping to rest for a while, and we'll come down after Aunt Liu cooks the rice." ”

Because her son is still there, the old lady is not forced to keep her granddaughter-in-law, and it can be seen that this little girl is a very shy person, and this son knows that she is a fierce person at a glance, and she doesn't know what to be scared of him if she stays.

When the others completely disappeared into the stairwell, the old lady instructed the old man to take out the scarf in the room, "Your daughter-in-law has knitted a towel for all of us, and you have a share." ”

"For me?" Father He had some expectations in his heart, he was a lot older, and he finally received a gift from his daughter-in-law, and he was still very happy.

After the old man took out the old man's scarf, he took it, looked at it over and over again, and then said, "But she knitted it by hand?" ”

"That's not it!" The old lady nodded and glanced at him with disgust: "Your son is not as bad as yours, look at the daughter-in-law you ask for and the daughter-in-law he asks, it's not that I exaggerate, it's really a world of difference between the two of them!" ”

"It's been so many years, not to mention the things she made herself, it's just a cup of tea, and I haven't seen her hand it to me, and every day she looks like someone else owes him 8 million, and it's very detached to look at it."

He Yuanshan lowered his eyes, carefully folded the scarf and put it aside, and was silent for a while before he spoke softly: "I divorced her." ”

"What? divorced" This time not only the old lady, but even the old man was shocked, he raised his head and stared at the upright son who was sitting tightly.

"Why don't you tell us about this? When did you get divorced? The old lady was a little anxious, for so many years, although she had been thinking about divorcing the two of them, but the two of them were really divorced, and she was still a little flustered.

"I just did it yesterday." He Yuanshan said slowly: "She has been a demon for so many years, I feel that it is because I have not fulfilled my husband's responsibilities, and I have always tolerated her, but I have thought about it for the past few days, rather than going on like this, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, parents rest assured, in terms of material, I have not treated him badly." ”

The two elders glanced at each other, followed by a long silence, and finally the old lady let out a breath of turbidity, breaking the silence first.

"I'm leaving, I'm too embarrassed to say anything, anyway, you're so old, you can handle everything by yourself."

Looking at the white hair that had been revealed on her son's head, the old lady sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that decades had passed in such a blink of an eye, and she was still a hairy boy, but now even the white hair has come out, and there are many fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

This time flies too fast, and people live for a lifetime, so it is not possible to do everything smoothly, but if you can have the ability to live a little better, it is still necessary to do it.

He Bai and Xia Ping, who were carrying the heavy topic downstairs, didn't know, and Xia Ping, who was brought back to the room, pushed the person in front of him and muttered in a low voice: "Why did you bring me up again?" I didn't even say a word to my grandmother. ”

"Oh, what do you have to talk about with an old lady when you're young, isn't it good to come up and spend more time with your husband?" He Bai pinched her face dissatisfied, and when she saw that her face clearly showed two finger prints, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and touched his nose with some weakness.

"How could you say that? Grandma knows a lot of things, and it's a pleasure to chat with her! Xia Ping muttered in a low voice: "Besides, I stick to you every day, how do I need to accompany you?" You're not tired of it? ”

"My husband doesn't like you, are you tired of it?"

Seeing his dangerous eyes, Xia Ping shrank his neck and shook his head cowardly: "No, no, no, how can you be tired?" I like to be with you the most, but I've only been here for a long time, and I always have to chat with the old man. ”

Although he was not very satisfied with her answer, He Bai also decided to let her go, after all, if he made someone cry again, he would be distressed, so he carried the person to the rocking chair, lay down and let her lie on her chest, and looked out of the window with her.

There are patches of white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, this scene is rare for the capital, except for the occasional winter to see, the remaining three seasons you don't even think about.

Xia Ping, who was forced to lie on top of him, blushed, and looked at the sky outside the window, the clear blue sky and white clouds may be a little surprising to He Bai, but they are not at all attractive to her who can be seen all year round in her hometown.

After watching it for a while, she was tired and carefully changed her position, her ears were close to his hard chest, and the sound of a steady heartbeat came into her ears, although she was not a little sleepy, but Xia Ping fell asleep unconsciously.

Fortunately, this time she didn't sleep long, and woke up naturally after half an hour, maintaining this action for a long time made her feel a little sore, and her face was pressed out of a big red mark by his hard chest.

Xia Ping, who had soft hands and feet and a sore neck, couldn't struggle, and muttered softly to He Bai, who was looking at his jokes: "You help me, I'm so sour, I can't get up." ”

He Bai, who forgot that this posture would make people sour, picked her up with self-blame, half-hugged her and let her walk around the room, and after walking for a while, he carefully let go of the person.

After being able to control his hands and feet freely, Xia Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, the sour feeling was so uncomfortable, his hands and feet didn't feel like his own, and the sourness really made people want to die on the spot.

Xia Ping, who really didn't want to nest in the room with him, gently pushed He Bai's hand back, and said softly: "It's time to eat, let's go down quickly." ”

After staying for a while, seeing that her spirit was much better, He Bai nodded, took her hand and walked downstairs slowly.
