Chapter 480: Have Fun
"Give it to me, useless thing! Go away! It's in the way!"
He Hongjin took the hoe and drove the people away.
People often say that fatherly love is like a mountain, but they don’t express it directly.
This point was concretely reflected in He Hongjin.
He drove Fu Jingyou away, not because he really disliked him.
The children have been away from home for more than half a year. One reason is that I miss them, and the other is that I am worried that the children will not be accepted outside.
It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, and I can't stay for more than a few days. I really don't want to let the children suffer.
How could Fu Jingyou not know him?
It didn't go as he wished, so Fu Jingyou took the hoe back:
"Why not?"
Fu Jingyou dug down with his hoe and cut a long line of weeds:
"Uncle, take a good look at me and see if I've regressed."
"You little brat..."
He Hongjin shook his head helplessly.
"The school also has compulsory classes on rural labor, so I do these jobs occasionally."
Fu Jingyou said with a smile.
He Hongjin is a rough and tumble farmer with conservative ideas who cannot express his emotions directly.
Fu Jingyou knew a little bit about it, so he took the initiative to join in the conversation, applying what he had learned from his wife:
"You've been out for so long and you didn't even tell me you missed me?"
"……Go! Go! Go."
He Hongjin's ears flushed with embarrassment, and his rough face looked even darker:
"You haven't learned anything good since you went out, yet you're saying such cheesy things? How dare you say such cheesy things!"
Fu Jingyou laughed, but he didn't stop hoeing and kept talking, one sentence after another:
"What's corny about it? I just miss my uncle a lot."
He Hongjin made a "tsk" sound and said some disgusting and cheesy words.
In fact, he turned his back and squatted down to cut the grass. While pretending to wipe the sweat off his face, he raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes.
The father and son were chatting in the backyard.
In front, Lu Miao asked Minjie to keep an eye on Dabao and Erbao.
He rolled up his sleeves, took out the washbasin and asked Shuotong to take it to the backyard.
She asked Fu Jingyou to fill the container with water, and together with Chen Guifen, they removed the sacks covering the beds, tables and chairs, and cleaned them inside and out.
It took the family more than two hours to clean up the house, and it finally looked a little tidy.
We'll rest here at night and have our meals at the He family's.
After everything was cleaned up here, the whole family went to the He family.
He Hongjin and Chen Guifen walked at the end.
Looking at the young couple in front, who were holding Dabao and Erbao, and holding Minjie's hand.
There were crowds of people, and there was a large group wherever they went.
The old couple secretly sighed in their hearts that their home had not been so lively for a long time.
Oh, that’s great.
They are all back.
…
After dinner at He's house in the evening, Fu Jingyou and Lu Miao did not rush home.
Lu Miao played games with the children in the yard. In the house, under the kerosene lamp, Fu Jingyou held the radio and chatted with He Hongjin head to head:
"This one adjusts the volume, this one changes the channel... If you press these buttons back and forth a few times, you can also record."
"Recording? What's a recording?"
"Dabao, come here."
Fu Jingyou waved his hand, and Dabao, who was having fun in the yard, immediately ran over, lay on his lap and shouted:
"Dad~"
Erbao also followed, and Minjie followed closely behind.
Lu Miao was sweating all over, so he went into the house and took a small stool to sit down. He fanned himself twice with a palm-leaf fan, then turned his hand in another direction and fanned the children from a distance.
Fu Jingyou coaxed the three children to call them grandpa and grandma, and said auspicious words like "Grandpa and Grandma Live a Long Life".
Finally, I pressed the radio a few times, and the voice from before immediately came back:
"Dabao calls me grandpa."
"grandfather!"
"Erbao Minjie also shouted, saying that grandpa would live a long life."
The radio immediately became noisy, and the three children started vying for the first word, as if they were fighting for the words.
He Hongjin watched from the side, touched his crew cut and laughed:
"How long can this sound last?"
“If you don’t delete it, it will always be there.”
"How do you put it?"
"There are only two buttons. Pressing them in reverse will play the recording."
Fu Jingyou taught patiently, and He Hongjin squinted his eyes and watched attentively.
Lu Miao only gave a brief introduction in the afternoon.
This time, Fu Jingyou explained to He Hongjin in detail how to use the radio, then stood up, said goodbye, and went home with his wife and children.
It was already dark and it was only just beginning to get light outside.
Mingxia was a little scared, so she put her little face close to her mother and hugged her neck tightly:
"Mom, why didn't Brother Shi'an come with us?"
"Brother Shi'an is from the north, and so are my grandparents. He won't come here... Does Xia Xia miss Brother Shi'an?"
"Well, Xia Xia thought."
Mingxia nodded seriously.
Lu Miao kissed her tender little face and said, "Stay a few more days, and you'll be able to see me when you go back. Then you can play with Brother Shi An again, okay?"
"Okay~"
Lu Miao kissed his daughter again.
In Beijing, the chirping of crickets and grasshoppers can also be heard during this season.
But the nights in the countryside are obviously much more lively than those in Beijing.
After washing up and lying on the bed, the two little ones refused to sleep.
Later I'll ask what the little bug that makes that sound is called.
After a while, he asked what the little insect that made the sound was called.
He babbled excitedly for half the night before falling asleep.
The two adults were exhausted from the car ride and after coaxing the child, they fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Fu Jingyou got up early and rode his bike to the town to buy a few pounds of meat.
Many fruits and vegetables are ripe in this season, so he bought some watermelons and peaches, and also weighed two kilograms of tender white chestnuts.
The peaches are juicy and crispy. They are sweet and crispy when you take a bite.
Lu Miao found the peach delicious, so he peeled the peach and cut it into thin strips for the two children to eat.
Fu Jingyou peeled chestnuts for her.
She didn't know that chestnuts could be eaten raw, and thought Fu Jingyou was teasing her, so she turned her head away and refused to eat.
Later, when she saw Fu Jingyou put a chestnut into his mouth and chew it with a crunch, she became curious again and asked Fu Jingyou to peel another one for her.
The white-skinned chestnut has a white sweater inside that falls off easily.
Lu Miao tasted it and found it tasted good.
Young chestnuts are crispy, lightly sweet, and have an indescribable fragrance.
If I give it a score of 10, I would give it 7.
When eating, it feels like opening a blind box, because some of the chestnuts are more juicy and taste sweeter.
Without Fu Jingyou's help, Lu Miao peeled the chestnuts and ate them one after another.
I stopped eating thinking about the next sweet thing.
As a result, I ate a lot of chestnut peels and didn't get a single sweet one.
She didn't give up, and wanted to keep trying with a frown, but Fu Jingyou held her hand halfway:
"If I eat any more, my stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Lu Miao pursed his lips and had to give up.
He Hongjin didn't let Fu Jingyou go to the fields to work, and Fu Jingyou was like a giant macaque that had escaped from the zoo.
Running all over the mountains and fields with three children.
He knew his limits, so Lu Miao didn't stop him.
It would be good for the children to walk around and have a look around more.
The countryside is larger than the city, so there must be a place that can stimulate their innocence and give them a wonderful childhood.
Especially Minjie, who is not young anymore and can go out to play normally, but his family members are afraid of accidents and don’t let him play outdoors.
This time, with his uncle leading the team, Minjie was overjoyed.
In He Hongjin's words, Minjie's mouth has been smiling a lot since Fu Jingyou came back.
