My village can't be like this

Chapter 533 Learning to Walk

As soon as Labor Day passed, the liveliness in the village became much quieter.

Although people still come every day, the number of people is not as big as the two days on weekends.

After all, the holiday only lasts for two days, and everyone has to go to work on weekdays.

In the morning, Su Ying went to school as usual, and Zhang Jianguo drove the family's sheep to the mountains for some fresh air after a long absence.

Because everyone has just harvested the rapeseeds in the fields and brought them home during this period. Now there is no water in the fields for plowing, and no corn has been planted in the fields yet.

Zhang Jianguo thought, taking advantage of this period of time when the fields were still bare and without crops, he drove the sheep that had not been let out for a long time to the mountains to let them go.

After all, if the fields are full of crops after a few more days, it will be more troublesome to let the sheep out.

Because after a while, the paddy fields were plowed, the seedlings were planted, and the corns in the ground also sprouted seedlings.

Zhang An's family has more than 30 sheep in total, and some relatively narrow paths are definitely not enough for them to walk.

Moreover, the green seedlings and corn seedlings are very popular among the livestock. Once they encounter them, they will definitely eat other people's crops when their owners are not paying attention.

The issue of animals eating other people's crops used to be the most popular cause of quarrels among villagers.

Generally speaking, if your own livestock eats someone else's crops, you will definitely suffer a loss. Even if you don't apologize, you will have to help others patch up seedlings.

Zhang Jianguo didn't want this kind of trouble to happen. Even if there were a few big dogs at home following him, the number of sheep was increasing and it was not as easy to control as before.

So he decided not to go out to herd sheep until the fields were planted with crops.

And Wang Fang is not idle either. The cherries in the orchard have turned from green to yellow, and some have even turned light red, which means that this year's cherries are about to mature.

Wang Fang is very concerned about the orchard at home, because she knows that most of the family's income depends on it.

So every year when the cherries are about to mature, Wang Fang goes to the orchard several times every day.

As soon as she found that it could be picked, she would ask Zhang An to contact Lu Cheng and Ding Yi immediately.

And she herself began to be busy looking for cherry pickers.

After all, the sudden hailstorm a few years ago left a shadow on her. As long as it rains, it doesn't care about crops or fruits, and it will show no mercy at all.

As a result, everyone in the family was busy with their own affairs. Only Zhang An was idle at home like a landlord.

It's just that this year is different from previous years. There is an extra little Siqi hanging around him.

But in fact, Zhang An was not idle. He was currently trying his best to teach Xiao Siqi something.

Now the little guy is more than half a year old, and his teeth have grown several flaps.

It may be that Zhang An often takes him into the space, and the spring water and crystal dew in the space have never stopped, so now little Siqi develops much faster than other children of the same age.

So now little Siqi is able to crawl around on the ground skillfully, and sometimes he can even pull a chair or other things around him to stand up on his own.

In the past few days, Zhang An has discovered that his son no longer seems to be crawling on the ground like before. He is no longer satisfied even standing with a desk, chair or bench, and feels like he wants to walk.

Of course Zhang An was happy to see this, so he focused on his son every day and tried his best to teach little Siqi how to walk.

However, it took several days, but little Siqi did not make any breakthrough progress on the road of toddlerhood.

Every time Zhang An puts little Siqi into the walker, he can walk around the yard very skillfully with the help of the walker.

But once Zhang An took him out of the walker and just asked him to pull up a chair and wanted him to try it, it wouldn't work.

Because as soon as Xiao Siqi let go of the chair he was holding, he fell directly to the ground before he could take a step forward.

It was nothing at first, but after falling a few times, little Siqi simply refused to let go of what she was holding.

This made Zhang An very distressed. Knowing that his son had fallen several times, he was already scared of falling.

So, Zhang An made another small bench specifically for his son to hold on, and wanted to see if his son could learn to walk while pushing the small bench to move.

Because when Zhang An was a child, he learned to walk by pushing a small stool.

The material used for the small bench is neither light nor heavy, so you don't have to worry about Xiao Siqi being unable to push it, or being overturned very easily by him.

Zhang An put Xiao Siqi on the ground, then asked him to hold on to the small bench with both hands and stand firmly on the ground.

Zhang An himself walked two meters away, stretched out his hands towards his son, and kept coaxing Xiao Siqi to go find him.

At the beginning, no matter how much Zhang An coaxed and teased, Xiao Siqi just held on to the small bench and kept smiling at him, without moving even an inch.

In the end, Zhang An had no choice but to take out a huge grape from the space, because this was Xiao Siqi's favorite thing.

After peeling the skins of the grapes, Zhang An handed the grapes to Xiao Siqi's mouth and let him take a small bite, but he did not give the whole grape to Xiao Siqi like before.

But after Xiao Siqi took a bite, he walked two steps away with the remaining half grape and started waving to Xiao Siqi.

They all say that a brave man must be rewarded, and this sentence is indeed true.

Little Siqi, who just held on to the small bench and refused to move a step, was now tempted by the grapes, drooling and staggering while pushing the small bench to find Zhang An.

Originally there were only two steps away, but Zhang An saw that his son had let go of his courage and pushed the small stool to come to him.

So when Xiao Siqi was about to find him, he took two steps back.

After the father and son were chasing each other in the yard, and they circled half of the yard, Zhang An stopped moving, waiting for Xiao Siqi to fall firmly into his arms, and then eat the remaining grapes.

Because based on his understanding of his son, if these grapes are not given to little Siqi, the young master will start to lose his temper.

So Zhang An didn't think about using a grape to let his son chase him on the small bench in the yard. Instead, he took it step by step and gave the grape to his son after walking a few steps.

Then he took out another grape from the space, tempting Xiao Siqi just like before.

In this way, the father and son continued to play the circle game of chasing and escaping in the yard.

"Zhang An, what are you doing?"

At this time, Ding Yi came over with the kid in his arms.

Ding Yi and Li Li came back on May Day and had been busy some time ago, so they took a vacation for themselves in the past few days to experience family happiness with their family in Changqing.

At this moment, Ding Zi's eyes were a little red and swollen, there were tears on his face, and he was blowing two bubbles from his nose.

Zhang An knew at a glance that this little guy must have made trouble at home again. If nothing else, he was spanked by Li Li, otherwise he wouldn't be crying so sadly, and he was still sobbing a little now. "Our family, Siqi, has been dissatisfied with crawling on the ground these past two days. He feels like he wants to stand up and walk, so I am teaching him how to walk."

While Zhang An was talking to Ding Yi, he put the grapes on his hand into Ding Zijie's mouth.

As the little guy's godfather, seeing that he is still sobbing, I must first coax him to behave.

Moreover, the young master of the Ding family is also a foodie. No matter how sad he cries, as long as he puts something delicious into his mouth, he will stop crying immediately.

Of course, the premise was that Li Li didn't feed it to him, because this guy was not big, but he was very vindictive. He remembered it clearly as soon as Li Li hit him.

But at this time, Xiao Siqi discovered that the grapes that originally belonged to him had been given away by his own father. In a hurry, he left the small bench with both hands and rushed directly towards Zhang An.

By the time Zhang An noticed that his son had left the bench, it was already too late. Xiao Siqi had already come towards him.

Originally, he was very worried about his son falling to the ground, so he instinctively went over and hugged little Siqi.

But he calmed down in an instant, because he saw his son rushing towards him step by step, although he was staggering and looked very dangerous.

But every time he was about to fall, his other foot stepped out in time to support his shaky body.

So Zhang An didn't rush forward to hug his son, and kept the distance between himself and his son within one or two steps.

This distance is very suitable, allowing the son to walk on his own and holding him in time when he is about to fall.

"Old Ding, have you seen that our Siqi started walking on his own?"

As a father, the happiest moments are nothing more than a few situations: when your child is born, starts talking, learns to walk, and gets married and starts a family.

At this moment, Zhang An was not only happy, but also disbelieving.

So when he talked to Ding Yi, his tone was full of disbelief.

"I see, I see, be a good boy, how old is your Siqi?"

Ding Yi's attention at the moment has also been on Xiao Siqi, who is even more incredible than Zhang An.

Because little Siqi is a few months younger than their Ding Zijie, and yet he is already learning to walk? And it seems that I have learned it.

As for their daughter, who was almost one year old and still cried and fussed a lot, his mood was indescribable.

It's a pity that Xiao Siqi is still young after all, and he couldn't walk steadily when he insisted on taking five or six steps.

However, Zhang An was not far from him. Seeing that he was about to fall, he immediately caught him.

"It's great that our family Siqi learned to walk so quickly."

Zhang An rubbed his son's hair with great satisfaction, the smile on his face beaming with joy.

But Xiao Siqi didn't care about him, and kept pointing at the grapes that Ding Zizi was sucking in his mouth and babbling.

How could Zhang An not know what his son was talking about? He was accusing himself of giving Ding Zijie his grapes.

At that moment, he shook his head helplessly. It seemed that this person from home would also be a foodie when he grew up.

"Here, here, don't look at what's in my brother's mouth."

Seeing his son's little mouth curled up, Zhang An immediately took out another grape from his pocket and handed it to him.

Seeing the grapes in front of her, Xiao Siqi retracted her fingers, grabbed the grapes with both hands, and put them into her mouth, and smiled on her face.

People say that on a June day, a child's face can change at will, and this is absolutely true.

Later, Zhang An asked his son to walk on his own a few times as he did just now, and the effect was unexpectedly good. Although little Siqi was still staggering, he could walk into his arms every time.

It seems that children really only learn to walk for the first time and countless times. As long as they get over the first hurdle, the rest will become much easier.

At this moment, Zhang An's mind already pictured his son running around and playing with the children in the village.

"Zhang An, how did you teach this? How come your family's Siqi was able to learn to walk before he was even one year old, but our child is almost one year old and can't even crawl well."

Ding Yi, who was standing next to him, witnessed with his own eyes the process of Zhang An teaching little Siqi to learn to walk, and he became more and more disgusted.

At this time, in his eyes, Xiao Siqi already existed like someone else's child.

"You are a bit worried now. When the child grows up to a certain point, even if you don't teach him, he will try it on his own. Our family Siqi is used to crawling around on the ground every day, so he has to be restless. Some will naturally learn to walk earlier.”

Of course Zhang An knew what Ding Yi was thinking now, so he could only comfort him with words.

The reason why little Siqi is so active is because he is used to letting him crawl on the floor all the time at home.

Although Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo regarded Xiao Siqi as his eldest grandson, they still let him play with himself on the ground.

After all, as a rural person, whose children don’t grow up crawling on the ground.

In Ding's family, it was his parents, two old men, who were taking care of Ding's son.

The two elders of the Ding family really doted on their grandson Ding Zijie. No matter when they were holding him or carrying him on their backs, they would never let go of him, let alone put him on the ground to play in the mud.

But this is understandable, after all, city people treat children like this.

But in this way, compared to Xiao Siqi, Xiaoziji lost a lot of opportunities to exercise and exercise himself.

Although little Siqi has the help of space, spring water and crystal dew, he will definitely be far better than other children.

But if the Ding family raises their children this way, even the children of other families in the village will learn to walk before Ding Zijie.

"So that's it. Then I have to talk to my parents. From now on, I can't carry him on my back at all times. I have to let him get down and crawl on his own."

At this time, Ding Yi figured out that before learning to walk, he must first learn how to crawl. He couldn't even crawl well, let alone walk.

Then he put the Ding Zizi he was holding on the ground and let him and the two brothers Xiao Siqi play by themselves.

Wang Fang cleans the yard of Zhang An's house every day and rinses it clean with water frequently. He doesn't have to worry about it being as dirty as the mud. This is also the reason why little Siqi can often play on the ground.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Ding Yi and Zhang An, the two children played very happily on the ground, and their smiles never stopped.

Ding Zijie liked playing with Xiao Siqi very much, so he kept crawling on the ground to find him.

And little Siqi had just learned to walk. When he saw Ding Zijie coming to see him, he staggered around the yard and crawled around with Ding Zijie. The two brothers had a great time playing.
