Ding Mingyue looked at him funny and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law is gone, and I'm still there!" Cooking, doing laundry, and starving you, and letting you go out in dirty clothes. ”

"But his aunt won't come back at noon, so I'll have a good lunch." Ding's father was worried.

"So?" Ding's mother turned her eyes lightly and said, "I have to do it yourself, old man, there is a way: do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." ”

"You old woman, am I a widower? Let me do it myself. Dad Ding said hurriedly.

"Big brother, sister-in-law is right, I'm afraid it will become the norm in the future." Ding Mingyue also agreed, pursed his lips and snickered, "Big brother, as the captain, you personally take the lead in planting grain in the field, if you want to eat noodles, you have to go to the mill and grind noodles with donkeys." The corn still rubs two cobs against each other to get the kernels off...... It used to be my sister-in-law's job, and now you're going to do it. ”

The peasant men work hard, and the women do not accept it, they have to weed in the field, plant millet to seedlings, plant soybeans to weed, plant corn to wade to the ground, cut wheat to prevent thunderstorms in a hurry, and use a flail to smash the grain and beans little by little...... In addition to these field jobs, laundry, cooking, giving birth, and taking care of children are also women's chores.

"How can I do it, your sister-in-law is not here for these jobs, you do it!" Ding's father imagined himself carrying a cloth bag and going to the mill, where there were all women, and he was a man, or the captain, which was detrimental to the majesty of men.

"Oh! Then you don't eat. Ding Mingyue said on the ground.

"Why? It's okay to say just now, you cook for me. Ding's father said immediately.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, how can I cook porridge without rice." Ding Mingyao smiled and watched his face turn green, "I have a job, not at home to eat and squat." ”

Ding's father was choked half to death, pursed his lips and pointed at Ding Mingyue and said, "Why are you too?" What the hell are you standing on, I'm your brother. ”

"Brother, don't yell at it, this apricot needs my sister-in-law to give birth to a child and be confined, so I have to help take care of the child. Three winters and three summers before holding the big doll. Ding Mingyue said rationally, "You said that my sister-in-law can come back then, and Xing'er is the first time she is born, my sister-in-law will not help, who will help." ”

"We have fulfilled our obligations as parents by raising the three of them, and their children are born and raised by themselves." Dad Ding said very seriously.

"You old man, who doesn't raise a son and bring a grandson?" Ding's mother looked at him and said, "You are special! ”

"You old woman, how do you understand what I mean?" Dad Ding said vigorously, "I think we also took care of the children by ourselves back then, and there were no old people to help." ”

"That's why you're so ruthless!" Ding Mingyue said with a smile.

"I do this because I have my considerations, only if they themselves know the hardships of raising children, they will know the hardships of being parents, otherwise they think they grew up by themselves." Dad Ding said honestly.

"Brother, if Guodong gets married and has children, you won't bring this grandson." Ding Mingyue said with an expression of waiting to watch the play.

"Equal treatment." Dad Ding said categorically.

"Sister-in-law, we have heard my brother's words today, if he can't implement it then, look at my sister, how I laugh at you." Ding Mingyue looked at him funny and said.

"Now, old man, will I be able to enter the city at the end of July?" Ding's mother looked at him with a smile and said.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Dad Ding waved his hand and said, what else can I do, my daughter is important at present.

I don't know where this chat is going.

"If we're going, let's send a letter to my sister." Ding Guoliang patted his forehead and said, "Mom, how do you sleep in the city." ”

"I sleep in the same bed with your sister, and I can take care of your sister at night." Ding's mother gave him a look that you are so stupid.

"Then where does my brother-in-law sleep?" Ding Guoliang asked in surprise.

"I don't believe you stupid, your brother-in-law didn't go on a boat for an internship during the summer vacation. I won't come back until the end of August, and then you'll be living in the school's dormitory, so I'll have to live in your room. Ding's mother shook the big pu fan and said.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go inside and sleep! I have to get up early tomorrow and go to the ground. Dad Ding got up and said.

"I'll bring you water, you go and wash off the sweat on your body, and you can sleep comfortably at night." Ding's mother followed and said.

There is no bathhouse in the countryside, and in the summer, you either jump into the river to wash, or you can dry in the stone trough, and take a water ladle at night and scoop it up.

Ding's family built a simple bathroom next to the kitchen with stones, and the water was drained into the vegetable field, which was very convenient.

It was another Sunday, during breakfast, Ding Guodong bit into the shrimp dumplings and said, "I see that there are not many briquettes in the kitchen, and I will go to buy coal after eating." ”

"Go ahead!" Ding Haixing nodded and said, thinking about it and saying, "Ask the other door, do they need to buy coal, buy it together." ”

"I see." Ding Guodong nodded.

"As for the flatbed truck, go to the logistics to borrow it." Ding Haixing reminded.

"Hmm!" Ding Guodong nodded.

"Mom, I want to go to the coal station too." Hongying's eyes said hopefully.

"What's so nice about the coal station, it's all black in your clean sailor suit." Ding Guodong said honestly, "Good, play at home." ”

"But I want to go out and walk around, I'm so bored at home." Hongying pouted and said pitifully.

Since the tree-climbing incident, the three of them have been really honest for more than a week.

Mom has a big belly, and she can't go to the beach without an adult to accompany her, so boring!

Ding Haixing's eyes changed and said, "Hongying, don't go to the coal station, let your Uncle Ding take you to the beach to catch the sea in the afternoon." ”

"Really?" Hongying's little face looked at Ding Haixing excitedly.

"Really." Ding Haixing looked at the brilliant Chaoyang Road outside the window, "It's overcast in the afternoon, so I'm not afraid of getting sunburned." ”

"It's cloudy?" Ding Guodong was worried, "Will it rain?" Like the previous two weeks, the rain was terrifying. ”

"Don't!" Hongying said mournfully, she didn't want her hard-won seaside trip to be in vain.

"It's just cloudy, and I didn't say it would rain." Ding Haixing looked at the two of them funny.

"Okay, it's beautiful." Hongying said happily.

Ding Haixing looked at Hongying with a smile on her face, and she was introverted and shy when she first met, but now she is lively and cheerful, like a child of this age.

After eating, cleaning up the table, taking the briquette ticket and money, he knocked on the door of the Jing family.

It was Jing Boda who opened the door, and when he saw Ding Guodong, he said enthusiastically, "Uncle Ding, come in." ”

"Is your mom there?" Ding Guodong bent down and looked at him.

"My mom is here! Come on in! Jing Boda stepped out of the way, Ding Guodong walked in, and when he passed the kitchen, he took a special look.
