Remember [Flag] in a second, popular free reading!
It's already mid-August, and it's cold here, so after Xie Xiaonian had breakfast the next day, he was going to turn over the ground in the yard and plant vegetables such as radish and cabbage.
And the vegetable plots they were allocated could only be planted when the loyal soldiers got off work or rested.
"Mom, I'll help you hoe the ground!" Seeing that Xie Xiaonian had been busy, Heping stepped forward with a shovel and said.
"Hey, hurry up and put the shovel down, what should I do if I hurt my foot. That's it.,Mom will be done in a while.,You go back to the house and play with pancakes and Xiaobai.,Just help mom pay attention to my sister.,If my sister wakes up.,Call me in time.。 Xie Xiaonian stepped forward and took the shovel in Heping's hand and coaxed.
"Okay then, then I'll go watch my sister!" Seeing that he couldn't help, Heping had no choice but to go back to the house.
Xie Xiaonian is used to planting land in the space, and in addition to the leisure and entertainment places in the yard that are planned to build sheepfolds and rabbit pens, and to vacate the leisure and entertainment places, there is not much place to grow vegetables, so for most of the morning, Xie Xiaonian hoeed the ground and raised seedlings.
As soon as he finished eating at noon, Zhong Guoquan brought his daughter Zhong Lingling to the house.
When Zhong Guoquan came before, he didn't bring his daughter with him, so this is the first time Xie Xiaonian has seen Zhong Guoquan's daughter.
"This is Lingling, it's so cute, come, sit here and play with the pancakes!" Xie Xiaonian stepped forward and hugged Lingling, put her on the ground and played with the pancakes.
Under this series of actions, the child didn't even look at Xie Xiaonian, and he didn't resist or move.
Xie Xiaonian stuffed a rag doll in her hand, and she grabbed it woodenly, not to play, but also not to throw it away, like a puppet, let her do whatever she wanted.
"Lingling is more recognizable, and her reaction is a little slow, sister-in-law, don't mind!" Zhong Guoquan saw that his daughter did not react, and he was afraid that Xie Xiaonian would be embarrassed, so he said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's the first time I see it, it's normal for the child to recognize life, you will often bring the child in the future, and it will be good to play with us, after school, you don't always lock the child at home, the child still has to be in constant contact with children of the same age to become lively!"
"Well, I see, sister-in-law. This is the Jiang rice noodles I bought in the county yesterday and brought them to taste the pancakes and apples. "I ate other people's mooncakes yesterday, and I have to have a return gift.
"Then I'll go on politely, apples and pancakes, thank you uncle." Xie Xiaonian said politely.
"Thank you, uncle, Mom, I want to eat!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Although they often eat snacks for pancakes, most of them are made by Xie Xiaonian himself, and the two of them rarely eat things like the Jiang rice noodles they bought.
"Here, you can eat together, don't eat too much, otherwise it will be easy to get angry!" Xie Xiaonian put the things in the hands of Heping and let them eat them by themselves.
"Sister Lingling, give, it's delicious!" Heping took out a Jiang rice strip and handed it to Lingling first.
It's a pity that Lingling didn't react and didn't move!
"Apple, you just stuff the Jiang rice sticks into her hand, and she will eat it slowly." Zhong Guoquan knew that although his daughter was very obedient, she would not take the initiative to react, so he said.
But Heping was also stubborn, so he insisted on holding up the Jiang rice strip in his hand, and said softly in his mouth: "It's really delicious, I don't lie to you, you can taste it, let's go on!" ”
After about ten seconds after Heping finished speaking, I saw that although Lingling was still sitting with her head down, she slowly raised her free right hand and took Jiang Mitiao.
Zhong Guoquan looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes were a little red, you must know that he usually fed Lingling or dressed, he never saw her have any active reaction, and he always thought that his daughter would not have any reaction to the outside world.
"It's really good, since I went back to my hometown this time, it's the first time I've seen Lingling take the initiative to reach out and pick up something!" Zhong Guoquan said excitedly.
"I don't think Lingling is unresponsive, it's that the adults are too impatient, just like just now, if you, the child hasn't reacted yet, you must have just stuffed the Jiangmi sticks into the child's hands, so you usually have to be patient, so that the child will be fine slowly." Xie Xiaonian continued.
"Sister-in-law, you're right, I'm too anxious, Lingling is different from ordinary children, you can't treat it the same, you have to be more patient, I was too anxious before." Zhong Guoquan said ashamedly.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, just take your time, Lingling can take the initiative to accept it now, and it must be inseparable from your efforts during this time. In the future, if you are fine, you will bring Lingling to the house more, I think she and Apple get along very well. Xie Xiaonian persuaded.
"Mm-hmm, I'll bother my sister-in-law in the future." For the sake of his daughter's recovery, Zhong Guoquan has to come to disturb him often, even if he is cheeky.
After Zhong Guoquan left, Xie Xiaonian instructed the two children: "Lingling has not been treated well since she was a child, her heart is a little closed, and her reaction may be slower than others, you should be patient when you play with her in the future, and get along with her, do you know?" ”
"Got it, Mom!" Pancake replied obediently.
"I think Lingling is very good now, although she reacts slowly, she is very well-behaved and obedient, I like to play with her!" Peace said seriously.
"Really, that's great, then Lingling will come to the house and I'll hand it over to you to bring, I think she also likes to play with your big brother today!"
Xie Xiaonian was very relieved to see that Peace was so sensible, there was a feeling that my family had just grown up, she really didn't expect Peace to have the potential to be a warm man.
"Well, okay, I'll definitely take care of Sister Lingling." Peace reassured.
At noon that day, when Xie Xiaonian was stir-frying, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he found a girl standing at the door with two big braids and wearing a plaid shirt.
"May I ask who you are?" Xie Xiaonian looked at the completely strange girl in front of her and asked suspiciously.
"I am the niece of He Shulin opposite, my name is He Hongmei, and I just came to visit relatives today." He Hongmei said shyly.
"Oh, hello, hello, no one at Deputy Battalion Commander He's house opened the door for you?" Although Zhang Chunping and the children did not come back at noon, Xie Xiaonian knew that He Shulin would go home to cook by himself at noon every day, and there should be no one.
"Yes, my second uncle picked me up, he just went to the cafeteria to fetch food for me, and I was fine at home, so I came to visit the door and get to know each other."
In fact, what He Xianghong didn't say was that she was attracted by the fragrance of Xie Xiaonian's stir-fried vegetables.
She has been taking the train for the past two days, and she has been nibbling on the tortillas and pickles that her milk brought her, but she has not eaten well, and just now when she smelled the fragrance of Xie Xiaonian's stir-fried vegetables, her stomach growled uncontrollably.
"Oh, then come in and sit, I'm cooking, don't leave at noon, you can eat at my house!" After all, this is Zhang Chunping's niece, for the sake of Zhang Chunping's face, Xie Xiaonian can't kick people out.
"Still no, my second uncle has already gone to cook. Eldest sister, your house is really clean, and you are a person who loves cleanliness at first glance! After He Hongmei entered the house, she praised sweetly.
"You can just call me Xiao Nian, I usually have nothing to do at home except to watch the children, so I can only clean up these rooms repeatedly. You sit down first, I still have a dish, I'll come out right away! ”
Xie Xiaonian felt that she was not a few years older than her, so she was really unaccustomed to being called eldest sister, and when she was called by He Hongmei like this, she was inexplicably a generation shorter.
When Xie Xiaonian brought the last dish to the table, and Heping and Pancakes consciously sat at the table and waited for dinner, He Hongmei was still sitting on the sofa and had no intention of leaving.
Xie Xiaonian was not easy to catch up, so he greeted with a smile: "I see that your second uncle will have to wait for a while, you can eat here first, Chunping's sister-in-law is not at home, and I should entertain you for her." ”
"You and my second aunt have a good relationship?" He Hongmei asked suspiciously.
"Yes, your second uncle and my husband work in the same camp, and our two families live opposite each other, isn't the relationship closer than that of other families, so don't be polite, take this as your second aunt's house, sit down and eat together!" Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
"In this case, then I'm welcome!" He Hongmei looked at the colorful and fragrant food on the table, swallowed her saliva and said.
"Of course you're welcome, sit down, you're welcome, eat as much as you want!" Xie Xiaonian greeted with a smile.
Although Xie Xiaonian will fry several dishes every meal, the amount is not much, and each time it is just enough for the family to eat, so after beckoning He Hongmei to sit down, Xie Xiaonian quickly went to the kitchen to make a cucumber again.
"Xiao Nian, this fried pork you made is so delicious!"
After the meal, He Hongmei was not polite, she first stepped forward and put the largest piece of braised pork into her mouth, and while speaking, she broke the mixed noodles steamed buns, and sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork into the steamed buns.
"This kind of large braised pork, so much oil and water, anyone can make it delicious, if you like it, eat more, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is meat left at home!"
Xie Xiaonian is not a stingy person, so he didn't say anything about He Hongmei's impolite behavior.
At this time, people are hungry for meat, and Xie Xiaonian can still understand it very well.
However, because Xie Xiaonian usually restricts the father and son from eating only meat, Xie Xiaonian will only cook a hard dish like braised pork once every few days.
The father and son, who were looking forward to it, saw that He Hongmei had sandwiched a small half of the braised pork for a while, and quickly reached out and grabbed a piece of it, for fear that it would be gone in a blink of an eye.
And He Hongmei listened to Xie Xiaonian's words, and didn't care whether others ate it or not, she continued to put meat in her bowl, whether it was braised pork or pork ribs, as long as it was meat, those who came were not afraid.
While sandwiching it into the bowl, her mouth was not idle, a bite of meat, and no one else ate it with relish.
Xie Xiaonian saw that the pancakes were eaten slowly, but there was also the rule that Xie Xiaonian usually formulated, if he didn't finish eating the bowl, he was not allowed to clip more, and he was about to cry when he saw that the meat on the table was getting less and less.
