"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xie Xiaonian asked suspiciously.
"It seems to be the voice next door, you take me out of the space, I'll take a look, don't have something wrong!" Xu Zhongjun said.
"Let's go out together, don't really have an accident, it's not good for others to find out that I and the child are not at home." Xie Xiaonian said out loud.
Then, the whole family went out of the space.
"Mom, where is Daddy?" Pancake saw Xu Zhongjun going out in the middle of the night, so he asked.
"It's a little bit of a thing, you and your brother are playing on the kang, your father will be back in a while." The two children had just slept in the space, and Xie Xiaonian didn't force them to sleep.
Because he was worried about Xu Zhongjun, after a while, Xie Xiaonian asked Xiaobai beside him, "What happened next door?" ”
"The old man who is lying in bed all day next door is sick, and my brother-in-law is helping to take him to the hospital." Xiaobai replied.
"Huh? Is that serious? It's nothing. Xie Xiaonian asked with some concern.
Although Xie Xiaonian didn't have much communication with them and didn't know each other very well, he usually chatted with the two old men when they were basking in the sun in the yard, and the two old men were very kind.
"It's fine." Xiaobai changed his lying position and replied lazily.
Hearing Xiaobai say that it was okay, Xie Xiaonian was relieved.
And what she didn't know was that what Xiaobai said was okay, and it was understood from its perspective and consciousness, not from the current medical level.
"Why have you been around for so long? How is Uncle Liu next door? ”
After more than two hours, Xu Zhongjun came back, Xie Xiaonian looked at the somewhat tired Zhongjun and asked with concern.
"You got it?" He didn't say that Uncle Liu had an accident.
"Oh, I heard from Xiaobai."
"It's nothing, I've been rescued, and now I've been transferred to the general ward." Xu Zhongjun said while undressing and preparing to go to bed on the kang.
Although my body was not tired, I was highly nervous just now, and when I relaxed, I was still a little tired.
"Didn't Xiaobai say that it was okay, why should he still rescue it?" Xie Xiaonian muttered in his heart.
However, since Uncle Liu next door had nothing to do, and Xu Zhongjun was also a little tired, Xie Xiaonian didn't say anything else, and continued to play with the children on the kang.
It was a small episode in their lives, and then the family put it behind them.
"Mom, Daddy's birthday is going to be in a few days, are you going to make a birthday cake again? Am I going to be able to eat cream again? ”
The next morning, Pancake suddenly remembered that his father was about to have a birthday, and asked happily.
"Yes, but your dad has a birthday, what are you going to give for your birthday?" Xie Xiaonian asked curiously.
"What's a birthday present?" Pancake asked, puzzled.
Heping also looked at Xie Xiaonian curiously.
At this time, Xie Xiaonian remembered that there were few birthdays at this time, and there was no concept of birthday gifts.
So Xie Xiaonian patiently explained: "A birthday gift is a gift given on your birthday, and there is no limit to what you can give, it is mainly a thought." You see, when you celebrate your birthday, your mother makes you a cake, and your father gives you a toy, which can be considered a birthday gift. ”
"In this case, then I will think about it and discuss it with my brother." Pancake nodded.
"Brother, we can write some words now, or let's write some blessings to Dad." Heping looked at the notebook in his hand and suggested.
"Okay, okay, I'll still draw, and I'll draw a picture for my dad when the time comes." Pancake said happily.
Although there is no such thing as a greeting card, the addition of a pancake and a proposal for peace is not a greeting card for future generations!
Neither of the children has learned to draw, so the so-called painting of pancakes is just scribbling.
"Mom, what do you think?" Heping turned his head and asked Xie Xiaonian's opinion.
"Very good, you two can make your own decisions, as long as you think you can." Xie Xiaonian's management in this regard is still very relaxed.
"Then we'll start drawing now, Mom, where are our crayons? And can we use the blank paper in the study? Pancake asked Xie Xiaonian.
"No problem, Mom will get it for you." Xie Xiaonian replied cheerfully.
The rice paper in the space study is still left by the previous owner of the space, and this thing is not particularly easy to buy in this era, but Xie Xiaonian is a high school student after all, and he is still a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, so he can have such a paper, and he can also talk about the past.
Painting is conducive to developing children's imagination and hands-on ability, so the crayons were specially bought by Xie Xiaonian for the two children before.
After Xie Xiaonian took out these two things, the two children lay on the kang table and started writing while discussing.
Xie Xiaonian didn't participate, just sat next to him to make next year's shoes for the two children.
As soon as he drew for a while, the pancake hurriedly said to Xie Xiaonian: "Mom, don't tell your father about this first, we will give your father a surprise when the time comes." ”
"No problem, as long as you don't say it, I definitely won't say it." Xie Xiaonian replied with a smile.
"When mom celebrates her birthday next year, what are you going to give mom?"
Xie Xiaonian was a little surprised when he saw that the two children were so attentive to preparing gifts for the loyal army.
Who made her have a birthday in March, and when she celebrated her birthday, peace had not yet come to the house, and the pancakes were so small that there was no such thing as giving gifts.
"We haven't thought about this yet, but don't worry, Mom, we will definitely give you a gift that is better than Dad's." Peace said seriously.
"yes, it's definitely better than Daddy's." The pancake saw that Xie Xiaonian was jealous, so he coaxed sweetly.
"Well, then mom is waiting." Xie Xiaonian saw that his position was not shaken, so he said happily.
Although Zhongjun never beats and scolds children, he is usually more serious and has a relatively short time at home, so in comparison, the two children still have the best relationship with Xiao Nian, and Xie Xiaonian's jealousy is just a superfluous move.
As for the cake to be made for the loyal army, Xie Xiaonian planned to make it again that day, after all, the loyal army in the space kitchen often came and went, and if there was anything, the loyal army could see it at a glance.
It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, on the evening of October 20, after dinner, when the family was playing on the kang, Xu Zhongjun said to Xie Xiaonian: "Xiaonian, you wait a while to pack my luggage, tomorrow we will start a confrontation exercise between several regiments, and I will go out at 5 o'clock in the morning." ”
"Drills? How long does it take and can I come back for dinner in the evening? Xie Xiaonian asked.
"I definitely can't come back for dinner at night, and it will take 3 days to come back at the earliest, and 5 days if it is slow."
"For so long? It's your birthday in two days, and you won't be able to spend it at home if you don't have a birthday! Xie Xiaonian said a little unhappily.
"There's no way, it's just in time, if you can't come back, it won't be this year, and it's the same next year!" Xu Zhongjun comforted.
He hasn't had a birthday for so many years, so he doesn't particularly care about birthdays.
"Alright then!" Even if Xie Xiaonian disagreed, there was no way, after all, work was the most important.
On the surface, she said that she was generous, but Xie Xiaonian still hoped that the loyal army could come back on the 23rd, in her heart, her birthday was once a year, and it was a must.
However, she didn't say this, for fear of putting pressure on the loyal army and affecting his game.
"Dad, my brother and I have prepared gifts for you, how can we give them to you if you are not at home on your birthday?" The pancake didn't care about being exposed at this time, and hurriedly said.
"Huh? You still have a gift for Dad, so you can give it to Dad, and the gift doesn't have to be given on the same day. Xu Zhongjun said with some surprise.
"Really? Okay, then we'll give it to you now, brother, let's go to the bedroom and get it! ”
After saying that, Heping carefully held the pancake on crutches and went to the bedroom to get a gift for the loyal army.
"Happy birthday, Dad!" The two brothers handed the gift to Xu Zhongjun together and said loudly.
"Thanks, let me see what gift you have for Dad?" Xu Zhongjun took a piece of paper held by the two brothers and said with a smile.
Xie Xiaonian hadn't seen what they had prepared before, and at this time, he also hurried in front of the loyal army.
It turned out that the two brothers drew a scene of their family of five playing in the yard, and there was a birthday cake on the table in the middle, which said Happy Birthday to Dad.
And this courtyard is based on the first row of houses in the space.
The painting is very simple, and it is not very good, but Xu Zhongjun is still very happy, and he has never leaked much Xu Zhongjun with his expression, so he happily hugged the two children and kissed one of them on the face.
However, his beard was so scummy that the two children immediately resisted loudly in disgust.
"Good zha, don't kiss me!"
"Mom, your face hurts!"
"Tie? I'll try again! The loyal army hugged the two children tightly and laughed.
At this time, the family is really like pancakes and peace paintings, and they are happy.
Before leaving, the loyal army said that if it was fast, he might come back in three days, so on the 23rd, even if there were no outsiders at home, after eating at noon, the family of four did not enter the space, and waited in the living room for the loyal army to return.
But until the end of the dinner in the evening, it was past nine o'clock, and the loyal army still did not come back.
"Mom, isn't Dad coming back tonight?" Pancake said with some disappointment.
If Dad doesn't come back for his birthday, he won't be able to eat the cream cake.
"Maybe you won't come back, you've given all the gifts, and you're still so disappointed, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat the cake?" Xie Xiaonian asked clearly.
"Not really!" Pancake said with some embarrassment.
"What's so hard to admit about this, whether your dad comes back today or not, I'm sure I'll make a birthday cake, and I promise you'll be able to eat it tomorrow morning." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
"Really, great!" Pancake was so excited that if it weren't for the injury on his leg, he would have jumped on the kang.
Peace is also happy, and he rolls on the kang several times before stopping.
Handmade cream is not easy to make, and Xie Xiaonian will only make it in advance when he encounters a special day, no wonder the two children are so happy.
