Girls do seem to be smarter than boys when they are young.
Wenhui can now say a lot of repeated words, but she still can't say two separate words together. She is only one year old, so she is already very smart.
Wenxuan is not good at it. He only knows how to call mom and dad. He is unwilling to learn anything else and will cry to you when he gets tired of being taught.
And Wenhui seems to be a little more sensible. Now she almost doesn't cry anymore. She can shout, point, and even roll on the ground when she wants something, but she rarely cries.
"Zhuzi, the time has been set. It's National Day. I'm here today just to ask you to bring out a recipe so that I can prepare it for you."
He Yuzhu took out a piece of paper from the desk drawer and handed it to Li Chu: "The recipe is ready. Can we prepare the dishes for two tables?"
Li Chu nodded: "Well, let's prepare two tables. I don't know how many people will come over there. I'm not afraid of too many, but I'm afraid of not doing enough."
"Then what I wrote is enough. You can just prepare like this. Do you need a stove over there?"
"No, I have two stoves and a briquette stove in the kitchen, which should be enough."
"Then there's no need to make another plate. I'll go over on the 30th to take a look at the prepared dishes, and then I'll go there early on the 1st. I'll bring one more person with me, otherwise I might not be able to do it all by myself."
"I don't care how many people you take with you, but Zhuzi, let's talk about this first, the food you cook for me must be full of ingredients, and you can take away the rest. I understand this rule." Li Chu said with a smile.
He Yuzhu patted his chest: "Don't worry, Xiao Chu, I still have professional ethics and I won't do anything like deliberately cutting out materials."
"Hey, let me tell you, what you two said to each other confused me. Brother Chu, what kind of banquet are you preparing?" Xu Damao listened for a long time before he finally understood.
"One of my younger brothers is getting married during the National Day and is going to entertain guests at my place."
"Brother Chu, do you have a younger brother?" Xu Damao felt a little strange, and He Yuzhu also looked at Li Chu. He only knew that he was going to have a banquet on National Day, and he didn't ask much else.
"Well, I have three younger brothers, my uncle's children."
Xu Damao nodded and didn't ask again, but he still felt a little strange. Everyone in the courtyard knew that Li Chu was a brother and sister, but they had never heard that he had an uncle, and he had never seen an elder coming here before.
To see him.
After chatting for a while, Li Chu saw that it was getting dark, so he said goodbye and left.
When they walked to the backyard, Li Chu did not rush into Xu Damao's house. He pulled him and asked in a low voice: "I didn't ask you just now. Have you settled everything with your father-in-law?"
Xu Damao looked unhappy when he mentioned this matter: "We have finally reached an agreement, but he requested that a boy's surname be Lou."
"This... what if all the next babies are girls?" Li Chu felt that this request was really ridiculous.
Xu Damao sneered: "I don't care about him. If it wasn't for Xiao'e and the child's sake this time, I would have fallen out with him a long time ago."
"Alas" Li Chu sighed secretly in his heart and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder: "Don't embarrass your wife, she is her parents after all."
Xu Damao lit a cigarette, knowing that Li Chu didn't smoke, so he didn't give him a cigarette: "I just felt sorry for my wife, so I had a serious discussion with him, otherwise... hum!"
Li Chu knew that no matter what happened, this incident had pierced a thorn in Xu Damao's heart. No one could tell how things would develop in the future.
He only hoped that Xu Damao would take Lou Xiao'e's sake and not go too far.
After all, my wife’s relationship with Lou Xiao’e is pretty good.
Don't think that Xu Damao is just an ordinary projectionist, but this guy is smart, knows how to get things done, and can also make people look embarrassed.
Such people will indeed live better than ordinary people in turbulent times like the great era.
Don't think your Lou family is a rich family, but when the time comes, just anyone can take care of him.
Director Lou seems to really not be able to see the situation. My dear, how tense has it been this year? In the first half of the year, five numbers and four numbers came one after another. Some time ago, the double ten numbers came out.
He wouldn't have thought that this was before liberation, when he was still sitting in a car all day long.
Without saying anything else, I entered Xu Damao's house, chatted with his mother for a few words, and then left with Ding Qiunan.
On the way back, Xiao Hei led the way, Ding Qiunan held a flashlight in his hand, and both children were held in Li Chu's arms.
It was originally meant to be held by each person, but Wenxuan didn't know why he had to be held by his father, and Wenhui didn't want to be held by her mother.
Li Chu had no choice but to suffer. The two little guys were very quiet in his arms. Wen Hui even gave the candy in her hand to her brother.
"I was chatting with Xiao'e just now. She was also dissatisfied with what her father did this time and couldn't say anything." Ding Qiunan suddenly said.
Li Chu thought for a while and then said something to his wife in a cryptic way: "Next time when you chat with her, tell her to ask her dad to find this year's newspapers and read them carefully."
Ding Qiunan turned to look at her husband: "Li Chu, what does this mean?"
He shook his head: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry about what it means. Just tell her like that. Let her remind her dad that it is a daily newspaper that has been published this year, and let her dad read it clearly word by word."
Ding Qiunan carefully remembered what he said in his mind, and planned to remind Lou Xiaoe next time.
She knew that her husband had to go there to work every week and must know more than others, so he had his own reasons for saying this.
"Woof woof woof" Xiao Hei, who was leading the way, suddenly shouted.
Ding Qiunan looked over with his flashlight and saw Xiao Hei stopping at the corner of the alley and looking back at them.
Xiao Hei usually wouldn't bark without letting his wife go over. He must be barking like this because something happened.
Li Chu stuffed the two children into Ding Qiunan's arms. He took the flashlight and asked his wife to follow him, and walked slowly over.
Xiao Hei had already run back and followed Ding Qiunan.
Li Chu walked to the corner and shone his flashlight, and then he saw clearly that it was a man lying on the ground.
His face was unshaven, and his age was hard to tell, and his body was covered in dirt.
Slowly walking to the man's side, Li Chuxian gently kicked his leg with his foot. The man lying on the ground did not move at all. Then he slowly squatted down, grabbed the man's wrist with his left hand, and gave it to him.
He took a pulse.
There was still a pulse. At least he knew that this person was still alive, and Li Chu felt a little relieved.
The pulse showed that this person fainted due to an imbalance of yin and yang. In today's terms, it means malnutrition, or simply said that this person fainted from hunger.
Li Chu turned back to his wife who was not far away and said, "It's okay. I must have fainted from hunger."
