Chen Jiqing and Chen Jixiang laughed and said that their uncle was a lazy person.
Tian Jing sat down to eat breakfast which was later than the two children: "The early worm is eaten by the bird."
The two children looked confused.
Tian Jing explained to them: "Little birds are diligent and like to get up early. There is a saying that the early bird catches the worm."
"What if the bug sleeps in? Will the birds not be able to eat it? So, the lazy bug is a bug that can live for a long time."
"Pfft!" Mother Li laughed: "Tiantian, don't teach these two children bad ideas."
"Ji Qing Ji Xiang, what your sister-in-law says is wrong, don't believe her."
Chen Jiqing and Chen Jixiang nodded: "Sluggard, talk about laziness."
"Hahaha." Mother Li laughed loudly: "Yes, that's the truth."
Tian Jing "..." She was out, she couldn't even speak to the two babies.
Li Min chopped stuffing with his brother, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, finally there is someone who can defeat you."
"I don't care about the little brat." Tian Jing continued to eat breakfast.
…
In the afternoon, everyone was making buns when Li Weibo and Yu Ziyu came back.
Tian Jing asked with concern: "Is Ziyu cold? Did you have fun in the mountains?"
"Neither cold nor cold." Yu Ziyu shook his head: "The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful, but it's a pity that you can't do rafting in the cave."
Tian Jing said: "In the future, if you choose to come back in summer or autumn, you can play."
"Yeah!" Yu Ziyu nodded: "Next time, I must choose a season where I can play."
She looked at the surface on the chopping board and then at the pots of stuffing: "I'm going to wash my hands and help."
After washing her hands, she asked Li Weibo to roll up her sleeves, picked up the dough, kneaded it, then scooped out the filling and wrapped it.
The hand speed is quite fast, and a bun is formed in just a few strokes. The wrinkles of the bun are also very beautiful.
Seeing her neat look, Li Min was finally satisfied: "Is Ziyu doing housework at home?"
Yu Ziyu nodded: "Let's do it, otherwise it would be too tiring for my mother to do it alone."
Seeing that she was willing to answer, Li Min continued to ask: "Isn't your mother going to work?"
Yu Ziyu pinched the bun without raising his head: "My mother used to work, but then my father was often transferred, so she took a leave of absence without pay and joined the army."
Li Min asked: "Then what does she usually do?"
Yu Ziyu pointed to the kitchen: "It's just these housework. When you live in a house with a yard, you can grow some vegetables to eat at home."
Li Min didn't understand: "City people can't think of it, but they actually grow their own vegetables."
"Auntie." Yu Ziyu raised his head: "You don't know, what we yearn for are green, pollution-free vegetables. We grow them at home, so we can eat them with peace of mind."
Li Min waved his hand: "There are so many vegetables in Kushan, you can eat them as you like. I also dried a lot of dried vegetables in the summer and brought them back to you."
Yu Ziyu was stunned and immediately thanked: "Thank you, aunt."
"You're welcome." Li Min waved his hand: "I finally understand that things that are common in rural areas are rare in big cities."
"Yes!" Yu Ziyu agreed: "Just like dried vegetables, farmers have them in their homes."
"If it is really sent to big cities, citizens may not dare to buy it. They are worried that the vegetables are not washed properly, and they are also worried that there are rotten vegetables in them. In short, there are many opinions."
"From now on, they will envy my family for having green and organic vegetables and dried vegetables to eat."
Li Min asked: "Don't you dislike it?"
"What do I dislike?" Yu Ziyu asked, "Is it possible that my aunt's dried vegetables are made from rotten vegetables?"
"How is that possible?" Li Min's voice became louder: "I dried it after I couldn't finish it."
"What you are eating now are vegetables from greenhouses. When summer comes, you will be eating vegetables that grow naturally at your doorstep."
"The vegetables we grow at our doorstep are not involved in the vegetable trade in the village."
"In the spring, they were all planted, and they were not sold and were not controlled according to the harvest time. When the ripening period came, they were all ripe and I couldn't finish the food."
Yu Ziyu smiled: "When it comes to growing vegetables, my aunt is very good at it."
Li Min raised his head: "Of course, I am an out-and-out farmer."
Tian Jing pursed her lips and snickered. Zi Yu was very good at talking, and he won over Li Min with just a few words.
Li Weibo, standing behind his girlfriend, went to talk to his father with confidence.
After hearing his parents' plans for their marriage, Li Weibo felt very guilty:
"No wonder my eldest brother planned to get married early and let my sister-in-law take on the responsibilities at home."
"Now that it falls on me, I realize how painful it is that I can't do anything."
Li Zhengguo patted his second son's shoulder comfortingly: "As a soldier, and a special soldier, I have a lot of helplessness."
"Back then, if it wasn't for your mother, I wouldn't have considered quitting."
"You don't have to feel too guilty. Ziyu is used to her status and life as a military relative. We are also capable of allowing your wife and children to enjoy a better material life, so don't worry."
"Pa!" Li Weibo saluted his father: "Thank you, father and mother. We three brothers are the happiest people."
Li Zhengguo smiled and saluted back: "This is exactly what we expected."
…
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mother Li took a group of women to make dumplings.
What should be steamed is done, and what should be stewed is done.
Then make some dumplings and freeze them. You don’t need to do anything during the first month of the year. You can just heat them and cook them.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
Mother Li was making dumplings when she was hugged by a figure who rushed in.
"Ranran?" Mother Li threw away the half-wrapped dumplings excitedly, with tears streaming down her face:
"Of course, it's been more than two years since you came back. Don't you even miss grandma?"
Li Weixin directly picked up her grandma, hugged her and patted her: "Think about it, don't I just have a vacation now?"
Mother Li lightly slapped her grandson: "You kid, are you treating grandma like a baby?"
"Don't you mean old children?" Li Weixin let go of grandma: "You are crying, shouldn't I comfort you?"
Mother Li said angrily: "You think grandma is old?"
Li Weixin waved his hands repeatedly: "I will never grow old, my grandma will always be eighteen."
Mother Li laughed: "You little kid, you've gone out to learn to be glib."
"Actually," Li Weixin said close to her grandma's ear, "I learned this from my dad. My dad coaxed my mom like this and told us not to tell women about their age."
Mother Li pinched her grandson's face with flour-covered hands: "Then you still call me an old kid?"
Li Weixin quickly changed his words: "I made a mistake, you are a child."
"Nonsense!" Mother Li squeezed hard again: "I've gained weight, I'm a little fatter than at home."
Li Weixin snatched his own face: "Grandma, I think you want to turn your grief and anger into food intake. Eat more and drink more and you will get fat."
"You talkative!" Mother Li stopped talking to her little grandson and pointed at Yu Ziyu to introduce him:
"This is your second brother's girlfriend, Yu Ziyu, called Sister Yu."
"Hello, second sister-in-law." Li Weixin did not follow what grandma said: "As soon as I came back from the mission, I heard from the captain that my second brother was getting married."
"If you call me Sister Yu, you have to change your name to Ersao. It's better to just call me Ersao."
Li Weixin's eyes turned to the outside of the kitchen: "Right? Second brother?"
