Chapter 39: The Storm Rises (1)

This night, Zhang Guoqing was still awake, his son woke up at about two o'clock in the morning and there was movement, before he could cry, Zhang Guoqing was already rolling in a carp, immediately picked up his son, soaked the milk powder with one hand, and tried the temperature again, before quickly putting it in Ping'an's mouth.

"Ping An baby is really good, give your mother to sleep, wait for you to eat well, Dad will sleep with you, my family will grow up quickly when you eat safely, grow up, Dad will take you to play, Dad will go to the green in the spring, pick wild vegetables; Take you to swim and fish in the summer; When autumn comes, Dad will take you to the mountains to pick wild fruits; When it's winter, Dad will take you to build a snowman and play with ice cars. Good baby, grow up quickly, good baby sleep. ”

After a while, Zizhen fell asleep, Zhang Guoqing really felt that his little peace could hear his words, if his grandfather saw it in heaven, he would also be happy, and he should have no regrets before he died. Fortunately, he left, and the family left that world. Otherwise, the white-haired people would have been heartbroken to send the black-haired people away one after another.

He carefully hugged himself to his side and wrapped his arms around him. After watching too much news, the child can't lie down in the middle, and he has to find a way to wait for winter.

At this point in time, his father had gone to the backyard to see if the pigs were hungry, to see if the chickens were well protected, whether there was any trace of the yellow skin, and to see if the walls of the backyard were being cared for by thieves. Then these sons followed him to see the self-reserved land, some of them were cleaned up before going to work, and those who had no place to clean up were usually turning over the ground, and there was a good harvest in the coming year, or they went to the backyard of the house to clean up the vegetable garden, and the work at home was also a lot, in addition to farm work, there were also hemp ropes, straw sandals, baskets, firewood, etc., all of which had to be busy before going to work.

In the countryside, the men of the Zhang family are undoubtedly diligent, but also feel sorry for their mother-in-law, and the ordinary rural families nowadays are different, today's women are giving birth, doing housework, doing farm work all inclusive, from the chickens crowing, before dawn began to cook, feed pigs and chickens, wash clothes, carry water, clean up the vegetable garden and keep their own land to do a good job before going to work, the man is lying on the kang and sleeping until he shouts to eat, only to get up and eat work, and wait for the afternoon to get off work, then cook and cook vegetables and wash clothes, clean up the yard, busy serving the pigs and chickens and ducks at home. Because of this, the women of all sizes in the village are envious of the daughters of the Zhang family.

In the past few days, according to the seasons of previous years, the sweet potatoes in the backyard should be quickly collected, and then the white radish, Chinese cabbage, etc. were all received in the cellar, and the Chinese cabbage and white radish in the self-kept field had been squeezed into a jar of sauerkraut and pickled radish earlier, in addition to the sauerkraut and pickled radish in the utility room, the sun-dried beans, dried vegetables, etc. were full, ready to eat no vegetables in winter, and the dishes of the family in the coming year. The cucumbers in the corner of the yard are carefully served, and this is the last cucumber of the year. It is also necessary to receive the cellar before the frost, and cucumbers and green onions are prepared by every family in the northeast, and they are indispensable all year round.

Zhang Guoqing ran to the well to wash his face and brush his teeth, changed into a patched coat and pants, and went to the backyard to find his father and his brother to meet, everyone took a hoe to collect and throw out the sweet potatoes in the backyard about 8 points, and the four of them worked together to finally clean up half before breakfast, and then went to work, and then got off work in the afternoon, and then found time to clean up.

On the dinner table today, it is rare to have red dates, white rice porridge and sweet potato cakes, and the family sits together, drinking white rice porridge and feels like the New Year. While eating the wheat seedlings, she sighed how good it would be if it were white rice porridge every day.

Zhang Guoqing was sad when he heard it, and then looked at the ears of wheat for fear that the bowl would not be clean, licked and licked, he took the bowl and drank a few sips, and directly divided it into the bowl of wheat seedlings and ears of wheat, the two little guys said thank you uncle happily, Zhang's mother saw that he was going to serve him after eating, he refused to answer, it is estimated that her mother still counted the rice grains to boil porridge, he ate less, his father and mother and two brothers, or have sister-in-law children can eat more, he didn't think about reminding his mother to burn more, and then forget it, his mother has been a home for so many years, and his mother has planned it, this is her authority, she exercises the right to be a family, why does he have to find his mother unhappy. Besides, he eats less, and he can find Jiaojiao to eat.

Before leaving, the second couple went out in a hurry, and when Father Zhang and the eldest couple finished eating, they were no longer there, and they were really not afraid of making a big fuss.

Everyone laughed dumbly, Zhang Guoqing took the two little guys back to the West Wing, Zhou Jiao had already eaten breakfast, just breastfeeding her son, she was very happy to see the two little guys, she was bored in the room alone, and it was really good to tease the children.

Zhang Guoqing took the diaper and put it in the footbath, took it out, saw that her mother was not in the front yard, hurriedly washed it first, afraid that the soap would be stimulated, afraid that the grass and wood ashes would be washed with gray hemp, so he found the soap corner and washed it carefully a few times, made sure that it was clean and hung in the yard, to see if there was nothing wrong, ran to Jiaojiao and leaned on the pit to rest for a while, it was too early in the morning, and he would work and be a little tired.

"Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while, you must wake me up tonight, I didn't listen to Ping'an's crying last night, and I slept until dawn" Zhou Jiao looked at him distressedly, with dark circles under his eyes and tiredness on his face.

Zhang Guoqing can't let her misunderstand, he is afraid that she will not do well in confinement, so he will take care of his son, for fear that he will cry and wake up his wife, and he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"I deliberately didn't call you, let you sleep soundly, and as soon as Ping An cried, I picked you up and breastfed. Before he wakes up, you can sleep too, and you can't wake up until 10 o'clock. There was no time to rest in the afternoon. After saying that, I thought about it and was happy.

"Do you want to eat anything? Brother, I have to buy some villain books to read, otherwise it's really boring. Zhou Jiao said depressedly.

Mai Miao thought about it and still didn't want to eat it, but her mother had instructed that the little aunt should give it to her younger brother to eat.

"No need, I just ate rice porridge today, and I haven't finished eating the sugar from my aunt."

Zhang Guoqing gave them a thumbs up and praised: "It's really good, go back and go back to the city to buy some snacks and put them at home, so that grandma can give them to you in the future." ”

Zhang Guoqing thought about it, "Jiaojiao, I'll go to the backyard to collect the sweet potatoes, and I'm not busy when I don't have work now." Mai Miao, you accompany your aunt to play here. There is something to run an errand and call uncle, uncle is in the backyard. ”

After speaking, leaving the two little girls to accompany Zhou Jiao, he went to the backyard, found the hoe, and turned the ground and dug sweet potatoes alone, his mother saw it, and hurriedly finished the work in hand, and came over to help clean up the sweet potatoes.
