Wei Jianguo looked at the two children playing happily, feeling sympathy and a little envy.
In rural areas, many children just want to have enough food to eat.
When children are four or five years old and can walk clearly, they have to work, such as pulling weeds, catching insects to feed chickens, and picking wheat grains. Children who are more favored in the family can do these easy jobs.
Children who are not loved by their parents have to start washing clothes for the whole family at the age of four or five, and when they are a little older, they need to cook for the whole family.
Having food to eat and not starving to death has already exhausted all their strength.
There were very few literate people in the village, and Wei Jianguo only started learning to read after he joined the army.
Only parents who love their children very much will send their children to school.
The school will not teach a single word of what Song Shuxi said. It’s not that they don’t want to teach it, but the teachers themselves don’t know how to teach it.
The more Wei Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt that if these two children dared not study hard and be unfilial to their mother in the future, they would be punished with belts.
Although he thought so, Wei Jianguo was still very careful when he said, "Wife, although the two children are tight-lipped, they are still children after all. When you teach them, you must grasp the right degree and never talk about those four olds, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Song Shuqian nodded. She knew the importance of this. "I recently bought some comic books. I plan to use "Heavenly Dragnet", "The Message Tree" and "Brother Militia" as introductions. These are all bought from the bookstore, so there must be no problem.
It’s a pity that the two children can’t learn musical instruments and horse riding. But think about it from another perspective: when they grow up, they can learn to drive from you, and that would be a sign of progress for the times. "
Wei Jianguo gently pinched her fingers. It's not a good idea to touch her head casually outside.
The two children ran to the front, but when they saw that their parents didn’t catch up, they ran back.
"Mom, this is beautiful. I'll give it to you," An An said, holding a conch as big as an adult's palm.
Song Shuqian took it and put it to her ear to listen. "Oh, thank you, son, there is the sound of Haida. Pick up some good-looking ones, and when we get home we'll ask dad to help drill holes and make them into wind chimes to hang in the yard, okay?"
Lele was a step slower than her brother. She just came over and handed over the shells she had picked up. "Okay, okay, okay, Mommy Lele wants one of her own."
"Of course you can. You can go talk to your dad and ask him to help you punch the holes. We can also make small animals with the puzzle pieces. We can make a turtle like Lele likes, or a big tiger like his brother likes."
The two children, one on each side, hugged their father's thighs and said, "Daddy, Daddy, can we play with the hole?"
Wei Jianguo naturally agreed, and he also enjoyed this kind of personal time.
In fact, Wei Jianguo didn’t know how to get along with children.
Song Shuqian would always bring him along to play with the children and tell stories together.
Occasionally, I would bring my children along to act cute with my dad.
His former comrades-in-arms couldn't even recognize the current Wei Jianguo, as he had become much softer.
Wei Jianguo smiled gratefully at his wife.
Song Shuqian likes her two children to adore their father, and she never shares with them the difficulties of their father's childhood. In Song Shuqian's view, all the ease and difficulty together have made Wei Jianguo what he is today.
Those are his past, his medals.
As his children, all we need to know is that our father is a hero, he loves them and he loves this family. That's all.
The two children were tired from running, so they found a relatively dry place and sat down.
Song Shuqian looked funny, she must be tired.
She and Wei Jianguo simply spread a tablecloth here, took out the fruits they had prepared at home, and gave them to the two children, letting them eat by themselves.
Of course they have their own.
Song Shuxi would never be reluctant to eat anything herself and would give all the good things to her children.
After living through many lives, she has become very insightful.
In this world, the person we love most should be ourselves.
When the two children saw their father and mother, they jumped up and climbed onto their mother.
Mommy, Xiangxiang, hug me.
Song Shuxi hugged the two of them, wiped the sweat off their face, and then started to ask a hundred thousand questions.
"Mom, why are the waves moving around?" An An is a very observant child. He has discovered that the waves come and go.
"Because there are many forces pushing them. You see, in the summer when we use a fan to blow air, it causes the wind on the surface of the water to fluctuate. The wind on the sea is very, very strong."
When faced with children's imaginative questions, Song Shuqian is always very serious.
Answer whatever comes to mind, without hiding anything.
Because that's what her mother taught her and her brother. This is also why the two children were able to live a prosperous life when they went to the border to join their father.
But she obviously underestimated An Anlele's emphasis on fairness.
"Mom, An An has already asked, but Le Le doesn't have any questions."
Both children are very sensitive to order and have requirements for the placement of items and the sequence of things.
Song Shuqian quickly said, "Lele, what questions do you have?"
"The waves keep running back and forth. Will they get lost?"
“I won’t get lost. The waves are smart. They know they will always be moving around in the ocean. So, they learn to follow the direction of the wind.
And the sea is very, very big, so the waves always have somewhere to go, so they don't get lost. "
Song Shuqian is very experienced in dealing with children's problems. Wei Jianguo silently gave a thumbs up. He was not good enough and could not answer so many questions.
