Seeing her sister's conflicted face, Xingxing sighed, hugged her picture book, walked to the bed, and carefully placed the picture book under the pillow.
After thinking about it, he took it out again.
He held the picture book in both hands and gently placed it on the pillow.
Zhou Sese watched this scene.
It's both sad and funny.
At the same time, she couldn't help but blame Sheng Xijiang in her heart. No matter how busy she was at work, she shouldn't ignore her child's spiritual world.
If it were a few decades later, a seven-year-old child would feel like vomiting after reading a book, and would never treasure a picture book like Xingxing does.
Thinking of He Dahua making noodles, Zhou Sese made tomato noodle soup for the two children. The sour and sweet tomatoes were combined with the soft and chewy eggs, and the noodles were soft and chewy. The two children licked the bowl clean because of the delicious taste.
I don’t even have to wash the dishes anymore.
Chunsheng came just after we finished our meal. He smelled the fragrance and drank the remaining bowl of soup in the pot, making his little belly bloated.
Diandian sat next to Chunsheng.
Looking at Chunsheng's belly with surprise, she said, "Brother Chunsheng, it seems like you're about to give birth!"
Chunsheng touched his round belly and said, "No."
Diandian said childishly, "Really, last time Aunt Niu had a big belly, and a few days later she gave birth to a big and adorable baby."
Diandian was talking about Niu Li, who was also a military wife in the compound and whose child was just six months old.
Chunsheng gradually became serious, "If I give birth to a baby, then who am I, the father or the mother?"
Diandian said, "The one who gives birth to the baby is the mother."
Chunsheng: "But I'm a man."
Diandian: "So what?"
Chunsheng was extremely worried, "If this happens, my baby will be left without a father."
The two children fell into deep thought about this matter.
Finally, Diandian mustered up the courage, patted his chest and said, "Then I'll be the father!"
Hearing this.
Chunsheng nodded happily, "Then let's make a deal. You can't go back on your word. The one who goes back on his word is Xiaogou. I'm the baby's mother, and you're the baby's father, but... what about Xingxing?"
Diandian said, "Brother will be the baby's grandfather."
Chunsheng: "Good idea!"
Zhou Sese sat beside her, cutting the cloth while frowning fiercely.
Haven’t they heard the song “Dad’s dad is called Grandpa”?
Oh, yes.
This era may not have it yet.
But why does Diandian know that her baby and she are grandmother and granddaughter?
Zhou Sese pressed her aching temples and decided that it was time to find an opportunity to explain to the two children the concept of address.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Zhou Sese got up quietly.
I found that Xingxing was already sweeping the yard.
"Why are you up so early?"
"I...sweep the floor."
Zhou Sese simply cooked a pot of porridge and steamed a few sweet potatoes.
She took the sweet potato and ate it as she walked. "I have to go out today. The porridge and sweet potato are in the pot. Wait for your sister to wake up and you can eat together. If I can't come back at noon, you can take the lunch box to the cafeteria to get some food. You know how to get it, right?"
Xingxing pursed her lips and hummed.
Zhou Sese walked out while chewing sweet potatoes in big mouthfuls.
I met He Dahua at the door of her house, carrying two buns. We looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
——
Hejia Village
He Dahua didn't even go back to her parents' home, but took Zhou Sese directly to the pig farm built on a vast open space not far from the village.
The person guarding the pig farm was an old man holding a bamboo pole. When he saw the two female comrades, he immediately waved the pole and knocked them, blocking their way.
He Dahua smiled and said, "Uncle San, I'm Dahua, and this is my friend. I have something to ask the factory manager."
The old man snorted, "The factory director is not someone you can see whenever you want. Dahua, you are indeed a soldier who married an official. You speak so confidently. If you don't know, you would think the pig farm belongs to your family."
He Dahua frowned.
Zhou Sese grabbed He Dahua, looked at the old man and said, "You blocked the road so naturally. People who didn't know would think the pig farm was run by your family."
The old man was furious. "Get out of here, everyone! Otherwise... or I'll let the dogs bite you!"
He Dahua whispered in Zhou Sese's ear, "This is my third cousin. Li Feng was originally introduced to his daughter by the matchmaker. At that time, Li Feng was just a new soldier. His family looked down on him and scolded the matchmaker out. They didn't even let Li Feng, who was standing outside, in.
At that time, I had just returned from work at the pig farm and saw Li Feng standing outside the door. He looked embarrassed and restrained, and looked very pitiful. I went over and said a few words to him, and later we got together. After we got married, Li Feng was promoted all the way, and my third cousin's family and my family completely cut off contact.
Even her daughter was saying outside that I, her younger sister, had robbed her of her good marriage, saying that I deliberately dressed up in front of Li Feng during their blind date. God knows, I had just finished feeding the pigs and was smelly.
Zhou Sese understood it completely.
Pulling He Dahua aside, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me about the dispute between you and this old man earlier?"
He Dahua was extremely helpless. "Chunsheng is already seven years old, and it's been eight years since the incident. I thought it was time to let it go. It's not unusual to hit someone who smiles at you. Why is he like this?"
Zhou Sese crossed one arm around her chest and gently touched her chin with the other hand. "It seems that we can't waste our time here. He won't let us in. Come with me."
On the way.
Zhou Sese asked, "Is it true that outsiders are not allowed to enter this pig farm?"
He Dahua was speechless. "Did you listen to his nonsense? There are often groups of children in the village who come to watch piglets being born. Some people see it but don't care. He is just trying to embarrass us. If I had known, I would have hidden in the dark and let you go alone."
Zhou Sese's eyes rolled around, "Hurry up and catch up."
A few minutes later.
The two faced a wall. He Dahua swallowed and asked, "Is this really necessary?"
Zhou Sese rolled up his sleeves and said, "No venture, no gain. You meet me outside, and I'll go up alone."
Before he finished speaking.
Zhou Sese took three steps back, took a sudden run-up, ran to the wall, jumped up suddenly, hugged the top of the wall with both hands, kicked the wall with his feet, and jumped up in an instant.
By the time He Dahua reacted, Zhou Sese was already riding on the wall.
He Dahua: “???”
She looked worried, "Be careful."
Zhou Sese made a gesture, "I'm going in."
After jumping down, Zhou Sese patted the dirt on his body, stood up, and suddenly saw the person standing in front of him...
