After returning home and entering the yard, Zhou Yang saw Bao'er lying under the eaves with several little monkeys from the Li family, not knowing what they were doing.
Hearing the footsteps, the little girl immediately turned around to check.
When he saw clearly that it was Zhou Yang, he immediately stood up happily and ran towards Zhou Yang.
"dad!"
Zhou Yang hadn't seen the little girl for a few days, so he couldn't help but walked a few steps quickly, then picked her up and kissed her hard on the face.
However, what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that the little girl wiped her face in disgust and said, "Dad, you can't kiss me in the future!"
"Uh...why?"
"Brother Wenhui said that boys can't kiss girls casually. You are a boy, so you can't kiss Bao'er!" the little girl said seriously.
Zhou Yang: &……%%&……
This topic made Zhou Yang feel a little heavy. He decided to change the topic and asked: "Tell dad, what are you playing?"
"Gerpoles, brother Wenhui and Huzi caught a lot of gerpoles for me!" Bao'er said happily.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Zhou Yang's face froze instantly.
Gepole is a local term, which is actually a tadpole.
Zhou Yang originally thought that his girl might be as gentle as Li Youwei, but now it seems that he has thought too much, this girl is really tough!
From grasshoppers, caterpillars, and butterflies to sparrows, mice, and rabbits, there is nothing she dares not play with. She is a wild girl.
I carried the little girl to the eaves and saw a dozen cans and wine bottles, each with many tadpoles inside.
After seeing Zhou Yang, the little children of the Li family all stood up to say hello. The uncles and uncles kept calling and were particularly affectionate.
Now that the older children have gone to school, only these four or five-year-olds are left to play together.
"Dad, Brother Wenhui said that these frogs will grow into toads in the future. Is it true?" the little girl asked curiously.
Zhou Yang didn't know how to answer this for a while, after all, it involved another question.
That is, the local people do not distinguish between frogs and toads, and they are collectively called "toads".
"Under normal circumstances, they will grow into frogs, the kind over the creek bend, not the ugly toads in the fields!" Zhou Yang said.
"Is it different? Bao'er thinks they are all ugly!" the little girl tilted her head and asked again.
"It's different. A frog is a frog, and a toad is a toad!"
"What's the difference?"
The little girl put on a posture of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, while the other little dolls also looked at Zhou Yang curiously, waiting for his answer.
"Well... the toad is uglier!"
"dad..."
Without waiting for the girl to continue asking, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Bao'er, take Xiaoya and Xiaohu to wash their hands, and daddy will find candies and snacks for you!"
Hearing this, all problems were instantly forgotten. The little girl immediately struggled to climb down from Zhou Yang, and then happily took several little ones to wash their hands.
Zhou Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and took Liu Yunlong back to the house.
In the room, Li Youwei was sitting alone on the kang, with some books and notes placed on the kang table in front of her.
In the hanging basket on the roof beam, the two sons were sleeping soundly.
However, Li Youwei was not reading a book at this time, but was lying on the window looking at Zhou Yang and Bao'er.
Seeing Zhou Yang push open the door and come in, Li Youwei immediately said happily: "Aren't you busy today? Why are you back so early?"
"Well, I'm done with my work over there for the time being. I miss you and the baby, so I'll come back and have a look!"
Hearing this, Li Youwei blushed slightly and said, "If you don't come back, I plan to ask Wen Hui and Huzi to go to Xipo to find you!"
"Is it about the baby being one month old?"
"Well, didn't you say last time that the full moon and moving should be done together? I'm afraid you were so busy that you forgot!" Li Youwei said.
"Don't forget, this is not about coming back to discuss with you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Bao'er running in with a few child soldiers, and then said with wet little hands: "Dad, where are the candies and snacks?"
Zhou Yang immediately opened the big red cabinet, grabbed a handful of fruit candies, took out some snacks, and gave them to the children one by one.
After sharing the delicious food, the little guys were very happy!
Afraid that these little guys would wake up the two younger ones, Zhou Yang asked Bao'er to take them outside to play for a while, while he and Li Youwei continued the conversation just now.
"I'll go over to the new house later to have a look and clean it up. We'll move some things there tomorrow and people will come over the day after tomorrow. What do you think?" Zhou Yang said.
"I listen to you. It's just that Dabao and Xiaobao are celebrating the full moon. Who are you going to invite?" Li Youwei said.
"I really haven't thought about this yet. What do you think?"
Li Youwei frowned and said, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. You said that when the child is over one month old, the old house should invite him!"
"Then I definitely have to invite you!" Zhou Yang said.
"Those cadres in the village work with you every day, I think you should invite them!"
"right!"
"There are also those educated youths who jumped in line with you at the Educated Youth Point. You can't help but call them. I think it's okay for the new educated youths this year to be invited or not, but it's inappropriate not to call them Cui Zhiqing, Bai Zhiqing, and Liu Zhiqing!"
"It's really inappropriate not to scream!"
"There are also Mr. Guo, Professor Yang, Comrade Qiao and my teacher from Xipo... These people are either relatives or friends, as well as elders. It would be inappropriate not to call any of them."
Then Li Youwei continued: "But if we call them all, the total number of these people will be at least a hundred. How can we receive so many people!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown.
Indeed, his family really couldn’t accommodate so many people!
And he also knew that there might be more than just these people coming on the day of the full moon.
Mr. Nie should be coming, and so should Lu Zhengjun, as well as Lao Li, Lao Lu, and Captain Wang from the county.
If all these people came, it would be impossible to receive them.
Seeing Zhou Yang's frown, Li Youwei immediately said: "Why don't we just stop doing it and just have a meal for my family?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said, "I'll think about this again!"
"Okay! But you have to make up your mind early!"
"Okay! By the way, where is mother? Why don't you see her?"
"Give us some private land!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang remembered that his family still had less than an acre of private land, and immediately said with some embarrassment: "Look at how busy I am, I have forgotten all about this!"
"It's okay, it's not much. Mom took my eldest brother and sister-in-law to plant some beans and vegetables so that we can have some vegetables in the summer!" Li Youwei said.
"Well, I'll go over and help you later..."
As he was talking, he heard voices in the yard.
The two of them looked out the window and saw their mother-in-law and sister-in-law walking in dusty and wearing headscarves.
Behind him were my father-in-law and my eldest brother, two big men carrying shovels, and each holding a canvas bag in their hands!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang immediately came out to greet him.
"Dad, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work, please sit in the room!"
Li Fengnian shook the dirt off his body and said, "Aren't you busy anymore?"
"Well, I'm not busy for the time being. I should be able to rest for a few days!" Zhou Yang said.
Just as he was talking, Li Youwei interrupted: "Mom, why are you so fast? Didn't you just leave in the afternoon?"
Zhang Guiying smiled and said, "When we went over, Wang Ping had already led people to cultivate your family's private land."
"In addition, when they saw us coming, the educated youth members from nearby communes also rushed over to help. Less than an acre of land was completed in a short time."
When she said this, Zhang Guiying was in a good mood. Her daughter and son-in-law were popular in the village, and her mother-in-law's face was also bright.
Hearing this, Zhou Yang was also moved.
Even though no one usually talks about how much he has done for the village, everyone sees and remembers what he has done and how much he has done.
At the critical moment, you can see their figures and their actions!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt that his son's full moon celebration must be held, and it must be grand!
