On the morning of February 16th, the sky was clear and clear.
Xu Hongping stayed in the kitchen and prepared meals.
She walked to the door of Erfeng's room and shouted: Erfeng, it's time to eat!
Erfeng replied: Mom, go ahead and get busy! I'm getting dressed!
Xu Hongping turned her head and went into her room, shouting: Mr., get up quickly, it’s time to eat!
Uncle Tang was lying on the bed, snoring "whirring".
Xu Hongping muttered: What a big man, I will prepare the meal, and after the meal is ready, I have to give you three left and three right invitations! Please depend on your mood! What sins did I commit in my previous life!
Hi!
She walked over, grabbed Uncle Tang's ear with one hand, and shouted: Mr. Tang, it's time to eat!
Uncle Tang covered his ears with his hands - he jumped up and said hoarsely: Ouch! Ouch! pain! pain! pain······
Xu Hongping said: Even if you sleep like this, you still feel the pain.
Uncle Tang opened his eyes and asked: Ping'er (Xu Hongping), please let go of my ears! It hurts to be pulled like this.
Xu Hongping let go of Uncle Tang's ears and said angrily: Get up quickly! It’s time to eat!
Uncle Tang quickly put on his clothes and said: I'll go, I'll go.
Xu Hongping walked to the gate and shouted: Shitou, it’s time to eat!
Shitou thanked him: Thank you, Mom! I'll come right away.
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Shi Shitou is still sweet. I have been busy all morning, and hearing this sentence is worth it.
She walked slowly to the living room.
"Mom, are you going to the market today?" Erfeng asked, setting out the bowls and chopsticks:
Xu Hongping replied: Yes, because we were out of stock, we stopped going to two markets (market days). Today we have thirty or forty handkerchiefs, plus a few stacks of insoles, which should be able to cope with the market.
Erfeng replied: As long as you can handle it.
"Mom, let me wipe my face." Shitou came in and shouted:
Erfeng then said: Shitou, you're so sweaty, go in and wash your face quickly, we're about to start dinner!
Shitou hurried to the back room and said: Sister Erfeng, you eat first, you don't have to wait for me.
Erfeng shouted: Shitou, walk slowly, be careful not to hit the wall.
Shitou replied: Sister Erfeng, don't worry, I won't hit the wall.
Erfeng smiled and said: This stone is always frizzy.
Seeing Erfeng's face full of joy, Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, stop, stop.
"Come here, come here." Xu Hongping continued:
Erfeng stopped what he was doing and walked slowly to Xu Hongping's side.
Xu Hongping asked: Erfeng, has Shitou done that to you recently?
Erfeng asked: What does the stone mean to me?
Xu Hongping pointed her fingers in one direction and said: This.
Erfeng said coyly: Mom, you always ask questions like this, which makes people feel embarrassed.
Xu Hongping joked: Yo! Yo! Yo! My belly is already so big and I am still shy.
There will be a while before you give birth, so you both have to be patient with each other and pay attention to the child.
"Aren't children very healthy? What should children pay attention to?" Shitou walked out of the living room and asked:
"Healthy, healthy, who said it's unhealthy?" Xu Hongping asked:
Erfeng called out: Shitou, come over for dinner quickly. I'm asking mom for advice on how to wear a child.
Shitou came to the table and responded: Oh!
"Ping'er, you haven't started eating yet!" Uncle Tang walked over step by step.
"The whole family is here. You are the most important. We are not waiting for you!" Xu Hongping replied:
Uncle Tang continued: Yes, yes, yes, count me the most.
Xu Hongping took the bowl, went to serve herself some rice, and shouted: "You all come to the table, let's eat."
Uncle Tang came to the table and stretched out his hand to hold the bowl.
Xu Hongping brought the rice to the table.
Uncle Tang held the rice in his hands and kept putting it into his mouth.
After a while, Uncle Tang stopped his chopsticks and called out: Ping'er, these days, I've been staying at home with nothing to do, except reading and sleeping in. You're causing trouble, and I feel bad. I think I'd better go out and continue doing it. Business, this is good for you, me, and the whole family.
Xu Hongping held the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and said, "Ms. sir, do you think I just pulled your ears?"
Uncle Tang replied: No, it is not.
Actually! I had this plan a few days ago.
Xu Hongping chewed her rice and looked at Erfeng.
Erfeng and Xu Hongping looked at each other and understood, and said: Dad wants to go into business, I have no objection.
Shitou called out: "It's a good thing that Dad wants to go out to do business. We should support him."
However, Sister Erfeng is about to give birth, so it might be inappropriate for Dad to go out at this time.
In addition, our family is not short of living expenses.
Although, I have never been in charge.
Xu Hongping glanced at Uncle Tang and said, "Ms. sir, it's up to you!"
Uncle Tang whispered: "With all Shitou said, what reason do I have to leave!"
Shitou said: Dad, you may be able to cope with going out to do business now, but it will be different in two years, and all functions of the body will decrease accordingly. You should not go out to eat or sleep in the open. You should stay at home. You will get tired of sitting. , just stand or walk.
If you really can't stand idle any longer, you go to the front to work on the ground and stretch your muscles.
Uncle Tang smiled and said: I am not yet 70 or 80 years old. You are talking as if you are taking care of my funeral. I am a man and I am not ready to be raised by a woman.
Xu Hongping threw the bowl away and said angrily: Tang Jin, I have been married to you for so many years because of your respect for me.
did not expect! You simply look down upon - women.
Uncle Tang argued: I'm sorry, my wife! Tang Jin can't speak - he keeps saying words, but Tang Jin doesn't mean to despise you.
Rather, Tang Jin doesn't want to drag you down.
Xu Hongping folded her hands and said nothing.
Shitou saw Xu Hongping's face and said: Okay, okay, let's not discuss this matter any more. It's just Shitou's talkativeness. Dad just stays at home, and we will slowly figure out a solution for all the trivial matters at home.
"Dad, Mom, are you full?" Erfeng asked:
Uncle Tang nodded and replied: Yes.
Erfeng was busy collecting the dishes and chopsticks.
Xu Hongping shouted: Erfeng, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and let me get the bowls and chopsticks.
"You have a big belly and are always grabbing these things. You don't know how to love yourself at all." Xu Hongping scolded:
Shitou shouted: Mom, let me hold these bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Hongping replied: No, you go in and pack your load. I will go to the market after washing the dishes.
Shitou responded: It's better for mom to pack the burden. I don't know what to bring to the market today to sell!
Xu Hongping put away the bowls and chopsticks and called out: "Bring two piles of insoles and those sewn handkerchiefs today. I will put them together on the table of the sewing machine."
"I'm going." Shitou walked straight to the back room.
Xu Hongping held the bowl and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Uncle Tang got up and said, "I'm going to feed the pigs."
Xu Hongping put the bowl and chopsticks on the pot and shouted: Shitou, have you prepared your burden?
Shitou replied: I am still packing the handkerchief.
Xu Hongping replied: Just pretend, I'm still washing the dishes!
Tang Bo carefully divided the water.
He picked up the bucket and strode out of the kitchen.
"Mom, have you finished washing?" Shitou stood at the outer door and shouted:
Xu Hongping then said: It's almost there. There is still a bowl that has not been washed. You go to the living room and I will be there soon.
Shitou picked up the burden and walked left and right to the living room.
Erfeng saw Shitou coming out with a load and called out: Shitou, why didn't mom come out with you?
Shitou put down his burden and replied: She still has a bowl to wash.
He pulled a stool over and sat down on it.
"Shitou, let's go!" Xu Hongping came over in a hurry.
Shitou picked up the burden and said, "Okay."
Xu Hongping warned: Erfeng, you must pay attention to your health at home.
Erfeng then said: Mom, please stop being so nagging. If you don't trust me, don't you still have a dad at home?
"Don't think I'm verbose. Your dad is a big man. He doesn't even know how to take care of himself, let alone you! He's careless, but you can't be careless." Xu Hongping replied:
Erfeng waved his hand and replied: I understand.
Xu Hongping led Shitou out of the door and muttered: This girl is still young!
"Ping'er, you're still at home! The sun has risen outside." Uncle Tang walked in, carrying a bucket.
Xu Hongping moved her feet and replied: Aren't we walking!
"Ms. sir, you stay at home, be more alert, and pay more attention to Erfeng." Xu Hongping said blankly:
Uncle Tang responded: I will.
Xu Hongping walked out of the door and called out: The sun has risen so high, let's walk faster.
After a while of bumps.
They rushed to the market, and there were some people in the market.
Shitou stood in the middle of the street and shouted: Mom, let's build the factory shed next to it!
Xu Hongping stopped, looked around, and said: This is a good place to set up a stall.
Shitou put the burden aside and quickly set up the factory shed.
Xu Hongping walked to Shitou and helped Shitou build the factory shed.
Shitou said: Mom, go over there and hold the factory shed. Let me tie up the factory scaffolding here.
Xu Hongping stepped up and replied: That's fine.
Shitou stepped forward and tied the factory shed tightly.
In an instant, Xu Hongping held on to the factory shed and muttered: Shitou, I want to go ahead and buy some water...
"If you want to go, go ahead!" Shitou responded:
Xu Hongping asked: But, the factory shed?
Shitou argued: The early spring sun is very pleasant to bask in, and it doesn’t matter whether the “factory shed” is built or not.
Xu Hongping let go of the shed frame and called out: "If Shitou doesn't want to build a shed, then don't build it. You put the shed away while I go buy water."
Shitou then said: Mom, you are so afraid of heat, I am afraid of you...
"Don't be afraid. You also said that the sun in early spring will not be too hot." Xu Hongping walked away.
Shitou calmly went to collect the factory shed.
"Brother, give me two pairs of insoles."
Shi Shi put it in the factory shed, took two pairs of insoles to the guest, and said: Uncle, here they are.
The guest officer took the insole and handed Shi Shi a penny.
Shitou held the money and shouted: Uncle, walk slowly.
"Handsome guy, pick out 4 handkerchiefs for me."
Shitou responded: Sister-in-law, the styles of handkerchiefs are different, you should choose it yourself.
The sister-in-law stood looking left and right and said: Please help me get two handkerchiefs for "good health" and two handkerchiefs for "richness and wealth".
Shitou picked four handkerchiefs and shouted: Sister-in-law, take them.
"Young man, bring me two handkerchiefs."
Shitou asked: Old man, please choose for yourself!
The old man replied: I'm illiterate and can't use this. My granddaughter is asking me to buy two handkerchiefs for her. I'm so old that I can't even see the flowers on the handkerchiefs. The young man chooses two handkerchiefs for me... ····
"That's troublesome. I'm a man. Which style does a woman like? I don't know at all!" Shitou replied:
The old man continued: Don't have any psychological burden, just do what you like.
"Brother, I'll give you two cents." The sister-in-law just handed Shi Shi two cents.
Shitou took the money and called out: Sister-in-law, please help me pick out two handkerchiefs for this old man's granddaughter.
The sister-in-law smiled and said: This is not good!
The old man replied: OK, OK, OK, I believe in this sister-in-law’s vision.
The eldest sister-in-law was extremely reluctant, but to save her face, she asked: Uncle, how old is your granddaughter?
The old man said: She is 13 years old.
The sister-in-law said: 13 years old is the age when love begins. Handsome guy, give him two handkerchiefs that say "one heart and one mind"!
Shitou took two handkerchiefs with the words "One heart and one mind" and read: "One heart and one mind."
The old man thanked me: Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you sister-in-law!
The sister-in-law smiled, turned and left the stall.
Shitou held the handkerchief and shouted: Old man, take the handkerchief.
The old man put the handkerchief in his pocket, put his hand into his arms, "searched it", and shouted: Young man, I will give you money.
Shitou replied: A total of one penny.
"Shitou, I'll give you this bottle of water." Xu Hongping shouted:
Shitou replied: Mom, put the water aside and I will drink it later.
The old man handed Shi Shi a penny and said, "Young man, you caught it."
Shitou took the money and said politely: "Welcome to come again, old man."
The old man smiled at the stone and walked forward slowly.
Xu Hongping handed the water to Shi Shi.
Shitou held the water and said thank you, Mom!
He unscrewed the bottle cap, raised the water bottle and drank.
Xu Hongping called out: "I didn't bring water here today. I was pulling on the factory shed just now, and my throat was unbearably dry."
Shi Shi put down the water bottle and said anxiously: Mom, how do you feel now?
Xu Hongping then said: It's okay. I went over and drank two mouthfuls of water - my throat was no longer dry.
Shitou echoed: That's good.
Xu Hongping said: I just met Brother Chu at the other end of the street.
Shitou asked: Except for the uncle, did he set up a stall today?
Xu Hongping replied: He set up a stall and he was selling groceries.
"Mom, here's the money for you." Shitou took out a few pennies from his pocket.
Xu Hongping replied: You can carry it yourself.
Shitou said: Why should I carry it? I don’t spend any money!
Xu Hongping commented: For such a big person, from now on, you must learn to spend your own money.
Shitou looked at the money in his hand and said hesitantly: I, I, I...
