When I got home, Zhou Wen hadn't gotten up yet, and I was tired last night.

After all, his own man has been a monk for several years, and he has held it for too long.

The old lady was busy in the kitchen, closed the door, and tried to keep the movement as small as possible.

"Grandma, I bought back breakfast, no need to make it. Let's wait for the dumplings to be made at noon before starting the fire. ”

"Xiaowen hasn't gotten up yet......"

"Let her sleep a little longer, and let's go to the east side of the house to eat."

The old lady was holding the big treasure, and there was a blessing at her feet.

Since Dabao was able to walk upright, Laifu had a new purpose.

Not to mention that it is not far behind.

Zhou Wen chatted with Wei Ping'an last night, saying that the paparazzi in our family are very smart, they protect Dabao when they are young, and every time the child falls, he uses his body to stand up or cushion.

So Dabao didn't fall much.

At that time, the focus was on the blessing.

The mischievous Rifle who used to be mischievous seems to have suddenly grown up and will take care of the baby.

Well, the rifle is male.

Auspiciousness is the mother's.

The first floor of the small building on the east side is also very warm.

It's just that the space is too small, and Laifu can only lie at Wei Ping'an's feet.

Dabao was hugged by the old lady, and after taking two bites, he struggled to get to Wei Ping'an's side.

In the end, Wei Ping'an took it and pressed him on Laifu's belly and sat on a small stool.

Dabao has a good appetite,

A bowl of tofu brain was put into his mouth by Wei Ping'an spoonful by spoonful, and a little kid did a full bowl.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, and it's a blessing to be able to see Dabao."

"It's really, you can eat well and feed."

When he was about to finish eating, Zhou Wen came in with a yawn.

"Why didn't you call me, ...... awakened from hunger?"

With his mother, Dabao went to his mother's side again.

Wei Ping'an just got up.

"Let's go, Zimo, let's go make a dining table and chairs."

There are a lot of scattered timbers under the east wall of the courtyard.

There are leftovers from the previous renovation, as well as newly bought sheds for honeycomb coal in recent years.

Zhou Zimo followed his brother-in-law and ran to the yard.

……

Unexpectedly, Wei Ping'an found that Zhou Zimo had mislearned.

As a student with excellent academic performance, his hands-on ability is so wasted.

"If you can't apply what you've learned, what's the use of learning."

Wei Ping'an reprimanded Zhou Zimo.

It's really a bit unbearable.

Want to be like those students decades later?

Isn't this a few decades later, if you don't know how to do it, how can you compete with others in society more than ten years later?

On paper, this kind of waste wood has been borrowed from someone surnamed Zhao thousands of years ago.

The old lady seems to be ideologically a bit of a sign of "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

Shangliang's concept, it is no wonder that Zhou Wen's original request to marry Wei Ping'an was for Zhou Zimo to study.

"Reading is good, but you can't read dead books, let alone dead books. Next, I said, you do it. ”

Although Zhou Zimo was being trained, he was very energetic.

This kind of activity similar to "placing building blocks" made him find it very interesting and very interested.

"Come, let's break down this picture, Dabao, you can also come and see ......"

The baby fat Dabao suddenly had a father, and he was very happy, as long as his mother let go of his hand, he almost trotted straight towards Wei Ping'an.

Staggering, Rifle was guarding him, not leaving an inch.

"Here, if you take it apart, it looks like this...... 2 taels of this wood are needed...... And this...... What about here? ”

Under the guidance of Wei Ping'an, Zhou Zimo "disassembled" the sketch of the children's dining chair drawn by Wei Ping'an, and selected the wood according to the disassembled parts.

The wood was found in the corner of the yard by Wei Ping'an and Zhou Zimo, and some of the missing ones were also taken out by Wei Ping'an in the cellar, which was actually in the space.

Zhou Zimo made his own selection, drew lines on the wood, and Wei Ping'an sawed and cut it.

The old lady took a needlework and went out.

She had her old sisters, always getting together to chat, sometimes pasting matchboxes, sometimes taking insoles......

The grandson-in-law is back, and for such a festive event, I have to go to the old ladies and talk about it.

There were so many cynicisms and so many messy rumors before, and they had to be corrected.

The old lady was holding her breath.

Zhou Wen also looked at it for a while and went back to the north house.

She had to chop the stuffing and make dumplings at noon for the winter solstice.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't learn these things in school......"

was reprimanded by Wei Ping'an, Zhou Zimo was a child after all, and couldn't help but defend himself.

"If you don't have it in books, can't you pay more attention to it in your daily life?"

Wei Ping'an chatted with Zhou Zimo, and his hands did not pause.

"The next step is to calculate the angle, with the goal of designing the center of gravity. After Dabao sits down, the center of gravity must be shifted backwards, which is the determination principle of the four straight legs of the chair......"

In fact, if it weren't for taking care of Zhou Zimo and getting him more involved, Wei Ping'an might have completed it in about an hour.

But in order to educate Zhou Zimo, who was about to "learn to be abolished", Wei Ping'an patiently followed him in the courtyard to ink.

Dabao followed aside, dragging the small wooden strip for a while, and handing it to Wei Ping'an with a hammer for a while.

It didn't matter whether Wei Ping'an used it or not, he held it up and stuffed it into his hand.

"Okay, now use a knife to scrape off the burrs on the wood and sandpaper them...... Leave these things to you, you must be careful, otherwise it will be your nephew who will be injured......"

Zhou Zimo nodded solemnly.

"Well, I'll give you another homework."

Zhou Zimo immediately came to the spirit.

It felt like it was back a few years ago.

"With the remaining wood, make two small mazas, nails and wide linen cloth, and I'll give them to you later."

"Yes, brother-in-law."

I don't know if Zhou Zimo has masochistic tendencies, anyway, he is full of energy when he listens, and he doesn't feel discouraged at all.

Wei Ping'an shook his head and entered the house.

Zhou Wen has already chopped the stuffing, fennel seedlings.

It's cutting meat.

"Daughter-in-law, what can I do to help?"

"You go and make a face, Dabao, don't hold Dad's leg...... Why hadn't I seen him so clingy before? ”

I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, Wei Ping'an listened happily, picked up Dabao and lifted it to his shoulder.

"Son, let's go......"

The winter solstice is the 22nd solar term of the year and the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is the winter solstice, which means that the cold season is about to begin.

And dumplings have the meaning of "chilling" since ancient times.

The common people have been circulating the folk proverb that "if you don't serve a dumpling bowl on the winter solstice, no one cares if you freeze your ears".

At noon, the sun was shining.

Every household has a fire, no matter what filling or noodles, no matter how much or how little, they are all eating dumplings.

The old lady came back from the backyard with her needlework and dustpan again.

I guess I went to the deaf old lady in the backyard just now.

Just in time to boil water and prepare for the dumplings.

I put down what I was doing and went to the kitchen to get busy.

The reason why I don't stay at home in the morning is because I want to give the little couple a little personal space.

Seeing the natural intimate behavior of her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, the old lady was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Ouch, this little pig is so handsome."

"Grandma, this is an elephant ......"

"Oh, it's an elephant, our big treasure is really powerful."

Wei Ping'an hugged Dabao, let Dabao's butt sit in the crook of Wei Ping'an's arm, the cute baby leaned back slightly, and the little adult commanded the newly seen father to run all over the house.

Outside, the little uncle was busy sweating profusely, and he didn't stop.

Zhou Zimo wants to work overtime, so that his nephew can sit on the dining table and chairs he made when eating dumplings.

It's very convenient to look at, if it's not too small, he also wants to use one.

The dumplings stuffed with fennel and diced meat, Zhou Wen's craftsmanship is very good, and it can be filled with filling.

Each dumpling fished out of the pot has a round belly, which is as big as a thin skin and filling.

It's very appetizing to look at.

Wei Ping'an tasted one, and the saltiness was just right, so he adjusted the dipping sauce according to this saltiness.

It was mixed with some cold water for old vinegar, dripping two drops of sesame oil, and finally knocking a small bowl of garlic paste.

A dumpling dipping sauce without garlic is soulless.

"Do you still have sesame oil at home? I remember I ran out a few days ago. ”

"Last time Sister Yushui came to borrow it, the bottle was given to her together, and she hasn't returned it yet."

Zhou Zimo interjected.

The old lady's heart tightened, and she saw that her grandson-in-law looked calm, but she still explained: "Zimo is very good at studying, thanks to your good teaching at the beginning, so I borrowed some junior high school textbooks from Yushui......"

"Alas, Yushui is also a hard-working child, and he doesn't look like a brother when he is a brother......"

Zhou Wen added.

"Doesn't He Yuzhu take care of the rain? I just heard Zimo say that I bought a bicycle. ”

"Hmph, the delicious food has entered the stomachs of the Jia family's mother, and they have been blocked at the gate of the compound several times to rob ......"

Wei Dabao sat on the newly made children's dining table and chairs, looked left and right, fortunately, his uncle polished it carefully enough, and Wei Ping'an wrapped towels and small quilts in the armrests and backrests on both sides, which will be used for the time being.

Zhou Wen opened a dumpling, blew it in a small bowl on the table in front of Dabao, and used chopsticks to order two drops of vinegar.

"The little girl Yushui is also very pitiful, once I sent Sister Ai away in the middle of the night, and when I came back to see her drinking water, I knew that she was hungry when I asked. Her brother didn't cook in the evening......"

It was also that time that Zhou Wen kindly led He Yushui to his home for two bites, and the contact gradually increased.

Wei Ping'an looked down on a lot of things, and he didn't have any opinions on his family making friends with some people in the yard.

For example, Lou Xiao'e, Lao Li Tou, and He Yushui.

This girl seems to be stupid, but she actually knows it very well in her heart.

I remember that when she graduated and got a job, she quickly found a partner to marry, and later almost broke off contact with the courtyard.

Thinking about being treated by her brother "favoritism" over the years, it is not as comfortable as a neighbor's widow, and it also makes her feel angry.

saw through some things, so he picked up some things, and staged a drama of two brothers and sisters 'falling in love and killing each other'.

"Sister Yushui often tutors me in my homework, and a lot of knowledge I don't understand in junior high school textbooks is taught to me by Sister Yushui."

"Respect for teachers is a tradition, rain has the grace of education for you, you have to have a show, each has its own opinion, and will serve you a plate of dumplings later, Sister Yushui."

"Oh."

Zhou Zimo subconsciously sighed, then looked at the plate on the table, and then looked at his brother-in-law.

"Your brother-in-law didn't tease you, and he wasn't angry. There's still one in the kitchen, so let's eat first. ”

"Daughter-in-law, do you still have frequent contact with Lou Xiao'e of Xu Damao's family?"

"When I was off last week, I also made an appointment with my son to go to Dashanlan to visit the shop, and the new jacket on Dabao's body was made by my grandmother with new fabric."

"Oh, what have they done to our family in the years I've been away from home?"

"It's very good, in this courtyard, I can talk to Lou Xiao'e, and Uncle Yan is also Zimo's teacher, so I can also say a few words to Yu Li in the front yard, but her person is the same as their family, she has some calculations and doesn't have much contact."

"It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, it's understandable."

Yan Bugui's identity as a teacher, Wei Ping'an didn't say much.

If you have paid the tuition, what is there to say, if you make up for the extracurricular classes, then say two more things.

"How do you ask this?"

"I suddenly remembered, didn't I hear you say that when you were sent to the hospital, Xu Damao and the two boys of the second uncle's family followed to run errands."

"yes. Let's send some dinner to the two of them in the evening, and I'm back now, so I can thank them for helping you. ”

"Okay, I'll wrap more in the afternoon, and there's still a lot of stuffing left."

Northeast women are atmospheric and hospitable.

If it weren't for Wei Ping'an's previous relationship with the courtyard, they might ...... has been targeted for a long time.

"Well, I'll go out in the afternoon and come back with some sesame oil."

"I heard that the share will be restored next year, and I don't know if the news is reliable or not."

"Don't worry about that, I'm back, and our family won't lack these things in the future."

"Know you're up for it. By the way, Sister Ai said before that she might come back tonight, but she didn't know if it would be too late. ”

"Really? After dinner, I will go to the front to clean up, and if Sister Ai comes, I will go to the front yard to sleep at night. ”

"Oh, I don't need you to go over, I'll go back to sleep with Zimo, you just came back, just sleep in this room, let Xiao Ai go to the second floor."

The old lady was not happy.

"Let's go over, this cold day, I'm used to it in Qinghai before, it's much colder than this, you have such an old body, you can't bear it if you come to such a night."

While chatting and eating, the dumplings have meat and the portion is sufficient, and after a while, I ate a round belly.

Wei Ping'an also enjoyed this feeling of eating and chatting, especially the taste of home, and he was happy.

In the Great Northwest, I also chatted when I ate, but all I talked about was data, data and calculations that made my head sick......

How can there be a short time in the parents that is heartwarming.

Ai Mudi didn't come in the evening, probably because he couldn't catch it in time.

The old lady and Zhou Wen took the dumplings to the backyard and sent them around, and also sent 6 to the deaf old lady.

The friendship between their old sisters, Wei Ping'an did not intervene, did not encourage or hinder.

Lou Xiao'e's house, Xu Damao also knew that Wei Ping'an was back, but he didn't bother him when he thought about the festival, so he took wine to Wei Ping'an to drink after the festival.

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, received a plate of dumplings, and after a while, he sent Liu Guangfu to send a small plate of scrambled eggs, at least two amounts, which can be regarded as a courtesy.

He Yushui was in his room, with a plate of dumplings on the table in front of him.

The little girl was in tears, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Not far away, his brother He Yuzhu hummed a little song, He Yushui didn't have to guess to know that it must be fried peanuts with Mao San, I don't know if Qin Huairu is there.

Wei Ping'an's home.

After dinner, the two of them were sitting cross-legged on the bed playing poker.

It was the one with four pokers in front of him, Wei Ping'an moved the poker position, and asked Dabao to point out the original position.

Fun and educational parent-child games.

It can not only exercise Dabao's memory ability, but also enhance the relationship between father and son.

After all, I missed Dabao's birth, Dabao's waddle to learn to walk, his first time he learned to speak, and many, many firsts......

It can only be compensated for by time and attentive companionship.

"Dabao, Mom has to go to work tomorrow, Dad will take you outside to play, okay?"
