I haven't slept well in the past few years since I joined the army, and I rushed home with stars and moons on the way, and my body was really tired. Don't really say, the quilt at home is really comfortable, warm and soft, not like the years of the Great War, sleeping is not comfortable at all, sleeping on the ground, taking the sky as the quilt, the moonlight as the quilt, sometimes the emergency situation can not even sleep, the most uncomfortable one, three or four days in a row did not sleep, the eyes have not been closed, all day long hanging a highly nervous heart, wearing heavy and cool armor, spring, autumn is better, autumn, winter, the armor on the body can not be touched at all, the bone is cold.

As soon as I fell asleep, I didn't know how long I slept, and then Xin'er woke me up: "You get up quickly, you must have suffered a lot in fighting outside, and you are very tired, and I can't bear to wake you up at noon when I see you sleeping too deeply, and now it's evening, why don't you get up for dinner, and it's not too late to sleep after eating." ”

"What? It's evening? ”

"yes, get up and finish eating, don't go to bed and go hungry." Xin'er said softly.

"I've slept for so long." I stretched out in bed satisfied, "Don't say it, I'm really hungry, I'll get up." ”

I was so busy rushing home that I didn't have to eat breakfast, and my stomach was really rumbling with hunger, so I quickly got dressed, got out of bed and walked out. Winter is almost over, but the temperature is still so low, I just woke up and couldn't help but shiver, "Achi! "I let out a loud sneeze.

"Oh, be careful, don't catch a cold." The mother said with concern, "Go back to the house and add some clothes, by the way, my mother knitted a sweater for you, and you can wear it to see if it is suitable." With that, my mother pulled me into the house without saying a word, pulled out a gray sweater from the closet, and handed it to me.

The sweater is very comfortable to the touch, uh, and very thick, "Mother, this sweater is too thick." I said.

"Isn't it just right to wear a thicker one on this day? Try it, my mother knits it according to the size of your clothes, and I didn't give it to you if your father wanted to wear it. The mother smiled and said, "Later, I knitted one for your father, Xin'er, and Xiaohao." ”

I changed into a sweater, the size was just right, it was not big or small on my body, mainly it was very warm, and I felt that I didn't need to wear a jacket.

"Just right." The mother said, "Let's go, let's eat, I'm hungry." ”

"Well, I'm a little hungry indeed."

At the dinner table, Xin'er's parents are also there, and they are also a lot older, and time is not forgiving.

"Xiao Sheng, how long can you stay at home when you come back this time?" My father-in-law asked me.

"If there are no emergencies, we can stay at least in August or September, and then concentrate on military training next winter, and spend the rest of the time at home doing farm work." I replied, "Tang Gaozu Li Yuan is different from Yang Guang, he followed the government soldier system of the previous dynasty, and the soldiers were scattered in the government. ”

"That's good, just spend more time with Xin'er and her mother." Father-in-law said.

"Xiao Sheng made the right decision to join the anti-Sui rebel army." Mother said.

Dad took a sip of wine lightly and said, "That's for sure, Yang Guang is mediocre and strict, he has long lost the hearts of the people, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, isn't it a matter of time before Yang Guang is destroyed." ”

"The Sui Dynasty's forces were completely exhausted by Yang Guang's construction of the Grand Canal and the three expeditions to Goguryeo, otherwise it would not have perished so quickly." My father-in-law asked me, "By the way, Xiao Sheng, I remember that you didn't join the Wagang Army in the first place?" How did he become a subordinate of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, now? ”

"The Wagang army grew stronger and stronger under the leadership of Li Mi, but was severely injured by Wang Shichong in the battle of Bishan, and since then it has been in a slump, Li Mi had to lead us to Li Yuan, Li Yuan gave Li Mi an official position, and married his cousin to him, but Li Mi still felt that he could not be reused, so he took us to resist in Taolin County, and was finally killed by Sheng Yanshi, and we also returned to Li Shimin's army."

"What a twist and turn."

Xiao Hao is not honest at all in Xin'er's arms, it takes a long time for Xin'er to feed him a mouthful of food, and Xiao Hao's little hands are still tinkering with the rattle I bought for him, very naughty.

"Xiao Hao, play this after eating." Xin'er put down the rice bowl and tried to take the rattle away from his hand, Xiao Hao was willing, and the two pairs of small hands grabbed the rattle tightly and did not let it go. Xin'er didn't have a problem, she didn't dare to snatch it away from him with too much force, so she had to coax him softly, but Xiaohao, the little kid, didn't eat this set at all, and in desperation, Xin'er had to continue to feed.

"Ah, Xiao Hao opened his mouth." Xin'er said.

Xiao Hao opened his mouth, his hand was still tinkering with a rattle, and suddenly accidentally touched the rice bowl, and it fell to the ground, the rice bowl was torn apart, and the food inside spilled all over the ground.

Xin'er put Xiao Hao on the ground and made a gesture to beat him, Xiao Hao was so frightened that he cried, his mother hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Hao, and carefully coaxed him, Xin'er picked up a broom from outside the house and swept the broken bowl and food into the dustpan, and came back and made a gesture to beat him, Xiao Hao was teary-eyed, and his mother was also persuaded on the side.

"It's not good to eat, so I know how to play, but now it's good, the rice bowl is broken, and the food is scattered on the ground." Xin'er said angrily, I can finally understand how difficult it is to be a mother, and instantly changed from a gentle lady to a fiery woman. The first time I saw Xin'er get angry, I couldn't help but smile.

"Broken peace, broken peace! Xin'er, don't be angry, Xiaohao is still young and ignorant. The mother persuaded on the side.

"Mother, every time Xiao Hao makes a mistake, you protect him, so how can he realize his mistake? Children should be educated from an early age. Xin'er's tone softened a lot, and she suddenly turned to me, "Xiao Sheng, you bought the toy, this is your son, you can tell me what to do." ”

"Me?" I was at a loss, Xin'er suddenly handed over such a "heavy responsibility" to me, and I didn't react for a while watching the "play".

"yes, tell me what to do." Xin'er emphasized again.

I pretended to be serious, "I don't think children can be used to it like this, mother, don't protect him, Xiaohao should be punished, otherwise he won't have a long memory in the future and will become more and more naughty." ”

"Isn't it normal for children to make mistakes?" My mother said to me, "Didn't you often make mistakes when you were a child?" Your father and I didn't punish you either. ”

"I was a child prodigy, how could I make such a mistake, why don't I remember what mistake I made?" Mother suddenly counted me down, I have to theorize about this.

"You're embarrassed to say that you're a prodigy, aren't prodigies just mixed up with what you are now?" As soon as my mother finished speaking, my father, my father-in-law couldn't help laughing, and even Xin'er covered her mouth and smiled, oops, my mother belittled me like this, my mood at this time is really "dumb to eat Coptis chinensis - there is bitterness to eat yourself".

"Mother, we're talking about Xiao Hao, why did you suddenly count me down?" I wasn't happy, but I still said respectfully: "Mother, Xiaohao had better be punished today to have a long memory, otherwise he will become more and more naughty in the future, and he won't be able to control it when he wants to." ”

"Yes, mother, don't protect Xiao Hao, we will punish him in a measured manner." Xin'er echoed on the side.

"Oh, old woman, you just let Xiao Sheng take care of them, it's not good for Xiao Hao like this." Dad is on our side at the moment.

The mother hesitated for a moment, and handed Xiao Hao into Xin'er's arms, "Don't beat Xiao Hao, children with fine skin and tender meat, it's not good to break it." ”

"Mother, don't worry, how can we beat him." Xin'er said.

"And what kind of punishment do you have?" Mother asked.

"I'm going to let Xiao Hao be punished? Is that okay? "Xin'er is asking for our opinion.

"Don't, don't, don't punish me, I will be obedient in the future." Xiao Hao couldn't cry in Xin'er's arms, and his little face was red from crying.

"It seems that Xiao Hao also knows that he is wrong, so let's do it, we won't punish him for standing, I think the rattle will be confiscated for a day, and it will be regarded as a punishment for Xiao Hao, Xin'er, what do you think?" I asked.

"Okay, so be it, confiscate the rattle." Xin'er gently patted Xiao Hao's head and whispered, "Xiao Hao, if you behave well tomorrow morning, my mother will return the rattle to you at noon, okay?" ”

"Okay, Xiao Hao must behave well, mother, don't be angry."

A farce finally came to an end, and the family sat down to eat together again, Xin'er took another bowl, filled a bowl of rice, scooped some soup, sandwiched some vegetables, and patiently fed Xiaohao to eat.

"Xin'er, you can eat too, let Xiaohao eat by himself, it's so big, can't you still eat?" The mother-in-law said to Xin'er.

"Xiao Hao knows how to eat, but he is a picky eater, and if he eats by himself, he only picks what he likes to eat, so I feed him, and when his picky eating habit is corrected, let him eat by himself." Xin'er explained.

"I'll feed it for a while, you can eat some too, you're hungry." I stretched out my hand to take Xiao Hao, and Xin'er was a little uneasy.

"Will you feed? There are many places to feed children, such as how much is appropriate for a spoonful of rice, and when feeding vegetables, especially fish, fish bones must be clean...... "Xin'er said a series of precautions.

"Oh, don't worry about leaving it to me, you can eat." I took Xiao Hao from Xin'er's arms, the first time I became a father, the first time I fed my children, for me, this is a very meaningful thing, I will definitely treat it with my heart.

As Xin'er said, feeding the child is really not a simple thing, the meal is fed too much at one time, the child can not swallow it and is easy to choke, and the feeding of the vegetables, the meat can not be large, the fish must also pick the fish bones clean, and the temperature of the meal can not be too high, so as not to burn the child, the speed of feeding can not be too fast, too fast is easy to choke...... In short, feeding your child is really not an easy task.

When I fed Xiaohao, Xin'er kept staring at me, for fear that I would make a mistake. After all, it's the first time to feed a child, I didn't pay attention to it once, the speed was fast, Xiao Hao should have choked, coughed, Xin'er didn't care about eating, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hugged Xiao Hao.

"Forget it, I'll feed it, I'm almost done." Xin'er said, took the rice bowl and fed it.

Looks like there's still a lot of learning for me. I thought to myself, I'm not qualified yet.
