Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 226: Parents have shortcomings
Mrs. Jia Zhang stared and said, "When I think about farming now, my bones all over my body ache, and it's hard for me to bend down, let alone work in the fields. You can't let me live a peaceful life for a few days!"

Jia Dongxu listened helplessly and could only look at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu had already expected it and said, "I'll go then."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face brightened slightly and she said, "Huairu is still young, so it's good to do some work. You can't work for the factory in vain!"

Jia Dongxu said: "It won't be in vain. There will be some subsidies, but not too much."

Jia Zhang said: "If you have it, you can do it. You can share the family income as much as possible. Huairu, remember, don't be so serious when you go back to work. Just pretend to be a day and it will be over."

"Mom." Jia Dongxu said angrily: "Don't say such things again, it won't be good if others hear it."

Jia Zhang didn't take it seriously and said, "I'm just talking at home. I'm not stupid."

Jia Dongxu said: "Mom, then Huairu will go to plant vegetables. You will have to have snacks at home to cook and take care of Banggeng."

Jia Zhang said: "I know, Banggeng is my grandson. If I don't care, who will?"

Xiaobangjie raised his head and said, "I want my mother."

Jia Dongxu ignored his son and said, "Let's eat."

Qin Huairu touched her son's head while the family ate. From time to time, Mrs. Jia Zhang muttered about the news from outside about the family affairs between the east and the west.

……

Xu Deyong's family is stewing chicken, but Yi Zhonghai's family is cooking medicine.

The medicine is for the aunt to drink.

The eldest mother said with some distress: "Lao Yi, I have been taking all kinds of medicines in the past ten years. I have spent a lot of money, but it is still not good. How about forget it and let's adopt one to take care of him in his old age."

Yi Zhonghai said expressionlessly: "Who knows what will happen to the adopted one? Don't raise him to become a white-eyed wolf. There will be no place to cry when the time comes. In this case, it is better to go back and find a reliable person for our retirement." Woolen cloth!"

The eldest mother said: "As the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. Some people look trustworthy but they don't. It's better to adopt someone and raise him from a young age."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's leave it like this for now. You can finish these few courses of medicine first."

The aunt sighed, hesitated for a moment and said: "It really doesn't work, why don't you...find someone else..."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he said: "What are you saying? I feel ashamed when I hear it. How can I behave if others hear it? Those who don't know think I want to abandon you. Who will respect me in the future!" Never say such words again."

The eldest mother nodded silently, looking at the bright lights of each house outside. She felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that in each house there were adults and children sitting around the table to eat, but there were only two in their house.

But tomorrow she would have to pretend to smile as if nothing had happened. She had gotten used to it over the years.

Strength is not about not shedding tears when facing sadness, but about wiping away tears and still living with a smile.

……

Xu Deyong's family is having chicken tonight.

Xu Nan clamped the meat for Xu Huizhen and said, "Huizhen, eat more. You look too thin. Don't look back. The child's nutrition can't keep up."

Xu Huizhen could only say: "Thank you, grandma."

At the same time, he glanced at Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong understood it and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't always feed Huizhen, give me a piece of good meat."

Xu Nanshi said: "It's useless if you eat too much, just chew two bones."

"Ah bah bah..."

At this time, Xiao Lier's mouth clicked and made a sound.

Xu Deyong quickly scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup and blew it into the mouth of the impatient Xiao Li'er.

Xiao Li'er's little mouth squirmed, and her two little feet lifted up and down in a good mood.

Xu Deyong then said with an innocent face: "Grandma, you have a grandson, you have forgotten your grandson, and you have raised me like a puppy."

Xu Nanshi chuckled and said: "Dogs don't get the same treatment as you. Just be content. Huizhen, eat more."

As a pillow person, Xu Deyong naturally knew that Xu Huizhen was not as thin as she looked. She looks thin when dressed, but looks fat when she takes off her clothes. She is also talking about a woman like Xu Huizhen, and the fat has not grown in the wrong place. Don’t you think it’s irritating!
It's a pity that these days he can only be in high spirits, look at the meat and sigh, and even think about "Kun Kun".

Alas, after having tasted the taste, once I look back on the past, I feel uncomfortable when I hold it in.

On such a night, one can only look at the plum blossoms to quench thirst, and invite the wife's "fifth girl" to come out...

……

After dinner, the courtyard gradually became lively. The weather was hot and even if you went to bed early, many people would enjoy the coolness in the courtyard.

The children in the courtyard didn't mind the heat either. They ran around shirtless in various courtyards and were soon sweating profusely.

Even the old men were shirtless, swaying cattail fans, and fanning themselves to repel mosquitoes, playing the role of "Bang Ye".

Xu Deyong's family was no exception. After dinner, they sat under the shed in front of their house, but they didn't bring the radio.

Otherwise, when the time comes, 80% of the people in the three courtyards will come around.

This is also the reason why Xu Nanshi doesn't want the radio.

There are two reasons for this kind of thing. Once people are used to hearing it, if you don't take it out for others to listen to one day, they will definitely have some opinions in their hearts.

It's like helping. If you help a few times, it's a help. If you help too much, you'll owe someone something!

It's not troublesome enough to get into trouble for something like this.

Xu Nanshi thinks that listening to her ore radio is very good. Once she wears the headphones, no one will like them!

Xu Deyong lay leisurely on the recliner, eating water chestnuts and chicken head rice as snacks, while two cattails burning next to him emitted smoke.

Xiao Li'er didn't mind the heat either, so she had to sit on him. He was already hot enough, and he had to hold a small stove and could only keep fanning the big cattail leaf fan in his hand.

Hey, now it’s time to make the water chestnuts and chicken head rice into river fresh ice bowls, that would be so refreshing.

In the past, the river fresh ice bowls at the Lotus Market were filled with sliced ​​fresh and tender lotus roots, peeled water chestnuts, lotus seeds, fresh chicken head rice, fresh walnut kernels, and fresh almonds, all chilled with crushed ice.

The tip of the bowl is dotted with white sugar and bright quince, which is a pleasure to look at.

Although there is no ice machine, there is no shortage of ice in the old capital in summer. Every winter, the Shichahai Ice Cellar and those who have ice cellars at home store a lot of ice for use in the following summer.

There are also bowls of poached fish, jelly, and oatmeal noodles in ice water, and vendors selling fresh water chestnuts and old chicken heads are walking among the crowd.

It's a pity that there is no ice at home.

Xu Deyong could only feel pity secretly, but he didn't know that he was also the envy of others when he ate.

For example, Xiao Li'er would look up from time to time to see what he was eating, and Xu Deyong would play "hide and seek" with her.

As soon as Xiao Li'er raised his head, he "shut up" and started eating again without looking at him. Finally, Xiao Li'er was so anxious that he reached out to clasp his mouth.

He Yuyu came to save him, and Xiao Lier still liked playing with the little sister.

He Yuzhu glanced at his sister who was running away from someone else's house, and said with some boredom, "Deyong, let's play cards."

Xu Deyong said: "If I don't have any cards, I won't play."

"Then play six-piece chess." (Do you still remember the experience of playing chess with stones and wooden sticks?)
"It's boring."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "You are boring."

Xu Deyong ignored this guy, who was obviously more "angry" than him, so let Envy deal with it!

At this time, Liu Haizhong led Liu Guangqi out of the backyard with a smile.
