Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 132

    ”The guy next door is back?” Zhang Chengbei asked casually when he returned home.

    ”Try it, the salted egg yolk Baked Char Siew made by Xiao Qin next door is very delicious, do you think we should buy an oven? I heard Xiao Qin Said, she made it in an oven, and you can make a lot of delicious food with an oven…” Huang Xinying rambled, she was very interested in the oven next door.

    ”The oven? That thing, forget it…they are on the boat, haven’t they had enough toast? It’s not delicious, it doesn’t fit For our appetite, we would rather eat steamed buns and pickles.” Many ships are equipped with ovens, and no one likes the baked bread, and would rather eat some steamed buns and pickles than bread.

    It’s okay to eat it once or twice, but it’s unbearable to eat it every day.

    Huang Xinying said: “That’s because your craftsmanship is not good. Xiao Qin said that he would bake a few croissants in a few days for people to taste.”

    ”Croissant? Croissant? This little Qin went to college for a few years and brought some strange things.”

    Zhang Chengbei looked at the sliced ​​salted egg yolk Baked BBQ Pork on the table, not to mention, it looked strange and attractive, and the smell was salty and fragrant, he couldn’t help it I directly squeezed a slice with my hand and put it into my mouth. It’s okay not to taste it. I found that the taste was absolutely amazing!

    ”The house next door is really back.” Zhang Chengbei sighed in his heart.

    For the return of the old Lu family next door, Zhang Chengbei was mixed, happy and melancholy. Can’t describe it at all.

    Lu Yan’s family can be regarded as their neighbors for the longest time. If they don’t have feelings, it’s not true. The family’s family came back, representing the surrounding yard. The excitement started, and Zhang Chengbei felt a little inexplicably happy in his heart.

    But he was also very worried. When he thought of the twin girls next door, Zhang Chengbei had a heart attack.

    Imagine two fair and tender little girls calling him every day: “Uncle Zhang Uncle Zhang!”

    The heart ache again, why do they have daughters? !

    No matter how complicated Zhang Chengbei’s emotions are, he can only accept the fact that the couple next door is back.

    Lu’s yard was soon cleaned up. Lu Yan and Qin Rouxin made swings and beautiful thatched sheds, put up simple flower stands, and the vines of passion fruit were covered She pruned, renovated the ground on the ground, planted the seeds, and in a few days, the yard was very different.

    Qin Rou took the sweet bean paste sisters to raise seedlings. They also raised chickens and rabbits in the yard, and built a beautiful chicken coop on the outermost edge and rabbit den, surrounded by a beautiful wooden fence.

    Back to the double-storey family room with a yard on the island, the sweet bean paste sisters can be regarded as having more fun places.

    Mother wants to grow flowers and plants in the yard, and they can also play mud happily at home.

    Qin Rou: “…”

    My daughter loves to play with mud and so on, but she can’t stop her. Qin Rou brings her daughter to play with mud and knead the mud to make a little clay figurine.

    ”Mom, look!” Doudou hugged a lump of black mud and fell to the ground with a slap, splashing onto her cute little white shoes Also all mud.

    Rong Rong is not like this, but the children will be messy when they play, and the mud with one hand will be wiped on her face and body.

    In the end, the white and tender little faces turned into black little faces.

    ”I really don’t want to do your laundry for you mom.”

    Playing in the mud in a beautiful little dress, still my little girl who loves beauty?

    Qin Rou pinched the little faces of her two daughters. Although she felt angry and funny, she also comforted herself in her heart. This is the performance of children being close to nature. She also liked to play strange things when she was a child, such as buying mulberry leaves to raise silkworms, and catching snails with other children on rainy days to compete with other children to see who’s snail runs faster…

    It’s really strange, she was not afraid of many bugs when she was a child, but when she grew up, she was afraid.

    Childhood is daring!

    Qin Rou took them to the bottom of the faucet to wash the mud off their bodies.

    ”Mom, I want to wash the incense!”

    ”Wait until you’ve had enough.”

    ”Xiao Qin, your Doudou and Rongrong have grown so big.” Zhang Chengbei wandered to the entrance of Lu’s yard, he looked at the next door from the windowsill The two little girls have been playing in the mud for a long time, these two little guys, they look so cute and cute, they seem to be like two little jumpers.

    The two sisters look exactly the same, and their facial features are very similar to their mother’s. They wear a small beige straw hat with a bow ribbon hanging from the brim. The skirt, the skirt has a lot of beautiful lace in white. At this time, there were several black paw prints on the clothes.

    When the two little guys pouted their butts and played in the mud just now, they were cute and cute.

    Qin Rou was standing beside the two girls wearing a blue denim suspender skirt. She also wore a sun hat on her head. A long strand of falling hair outlines her pretty face.

    One big and two small standing together, saying that they are mother and daughter, more like a sister with two cute little sisters.

    The man surnamed Lu next door is really lucky, Zhang Chengbei thought that it was me, Lao Zhang, who took a look ten years ago, and didn’t see this Chief of Staff Lu The couple kept their secrets hidden, so they didn’t take precautions in advance.

    ”This is Uncle Zhang next door. Doudourong calls Uncle Zhang hello.”

    Sweet Bean Rong sisters obediently followed and shouted: “Hello, Uncle Zhang.”

    Zhang Chengbei saw two short and stout little guys holding the hats on their heads, looking up to reveal a baby fat tender white face with black eyes Lingwuling’s voice is crisp and agile, like the sound of the wind blowing a bell, with a sweet watermelon fragrance that dispels the summer heat.

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    He tried his best to look away at the mud pit on the ground, thinking that I am not an egg fruit, I am not sour.

    ”The voices of these two little girls are very nice, like you, Xiao Qin, can you sing?” Zhang Chengbei tried hard to find his voice and tried to imagine the house next door The short board, the Zhouzhou Dumpling brothers next door, sang out of tune and ran to the southeast, northwest and northwest, and they have never seen such a bad sound.

    Their family should be like this, right?

    ”Yes!” The sweet bean paste sisters responded happily.

    Zhang Chengbei saw these two proud and confident eyes, and he instantly became excited, thinking that your two brothers were so confident back then.

    ”Sing to Uncle!”

    Sweet Bean Rong sisters sang a song “Jasmine Flower” to him, and the tender child’s voice sang this sweet jasmine flower just right.

    ”Uncle, uncle, do you want to listen to other songs?”

    Sweet Bean Rong sisters, like their brothers, also like to show their singing voice in front of outsiders.

    Zhang Chengbei had a silent face: “…”

    No, uncle doesn’t want to hear it.

    ”Beanie can sing a lot!”

    ”Rong Rong also sings a lot!”

    …

    After listening, Zhang Chengbei tried his best to squeeze a smile, and said very awkwardly: “Xiao Qin, your two daughters really inherited the good voice of mother, In the future, I can go to an art school and sing on the big stage!”

    Don’t say anything else, the two little girls sing very well.

    He wanted to steal one home.

    The heart of wanting to have a daughter has resurfaced in the past. Fortunately, he is engaged in family planning at the moment. With his own one super, two balances and three possessions, he has three eldest sons.

    Qin Rou smiled and asked, “Do Doudou and Rongrong want to sing on stage?”

    ”Rongrong just wants to sing to my mother.”

    ”Doudou also just wants to sing to my mother!”

    In terms of their ability to speak sweet words, neither brother can compare to this pair of sweet bean paste sisters.

    Although they are two air-leakage jackets in action, they are definitely two warm-hearted jackets in words.

    Most of the time, they speak sweet words to their mothers. If it is two little spider spirits, then they like to use sweet words to trap their mothers.

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    Just want to sing to my mom?

    It seems that in my daughter’s heart, your father’s status is not high, which makes my old Zhang mentally balanced.

    I love my mom, don’t love my dad!

    The old Liu family’s dancing doesn’t like her father either, but prefers her mother and his Uncle Zhang.

    As an uncle who is very fond of jumping, Zhang Chengbei is also half a godfather. With such a goddaughter, Zhang Chengbei is both gratified and sad. Because when Tiaotiao was hanging out with his son Dundun, he felt more like an extra godson.

    —Four sons!

    Zhang Chengbei smiled and said, “I only sing it for my mother, not my father? Will your father feel sad when you hear it?”

    ”—what are you talking about?”

    When Zhang Chengbei turned around, he saw Lu Yan standing at the door of his own courtyard. He was wearing a new snow-white military uniform. The color was too white, reflecting light. As soon as the Sweet Dou Rong sisters saw their father, they didn’t care about anything and rushed to their father.

    ”Dad!”

    ”Hold high!”

    Lu Yan was holding two good daughters in one hand and the other, and behind him stood an old man, Wang Yuanzheng, when Wang Yuanzheng saw his two daughters, Immediately smiled: “Lu Yan, your two daughters have grown up a lot.”

    ”Hello, Uncle Wang.”

    ”Hello Uncle Wang!”

    ”Old Zhang, you are also in the old Lu family.” Wang Yuanzheng was cheerful, he wore glasses and smiled very gently.

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    Zhang Chengbei did not expect to see two class enemies at once.

    Wang Yuanzheng has only one daughter, Wang Niannian, who is seven or eight years old now.

    Because only one eldest daughter was born, Wang Yuanzheng’s family and Xue Xiaohui’s family urged them to have a second child and a younger brother, Wang Yuanzheng was under pressure Say no to.

    Niannian’s grandmother and grandmother didn’t like his daughter Niannian, which made Wang Yuanzheng, who loved her daughter, very uncomfortable, and was also afraid that after giving birth to a younger brother, he would let him Wang Niannian was wronged, he thought that he would not give birth, and responded to the call of the country to plan his family, and had only one daughter.

    There is only one only daughter in the family, and there is a lot of gossip around. Wang Yuanzheng doesn’t take it seriously. In other people’s mouths, he has a very comfortable life with a wife and a daughter, and he doesn’t care what other people say gossip?

    ”Joke? What’s the joke about me? I’ll have a daughter.”

    ”What about having another one? Like them? In order to have a son, one or two…three daughters? Worry about each one? Really? Are you going to give birth to a son and throw your own daughter aside?”

    Comrade Lao Wang considered all kinds of things very carefully before getting married, and now when he has a child, he also thinks about all the possibilities After reading it again, he felt that it was completely pointless to pursue a boy. It would be better to raise his precious daughter Nian Nian, a family and He Meimei.

    As for others? Mind his shit.

    ”That’s a monster!”

    Firstly, Zhang Chengbei thinks that this person has a strange idea, and secondly, he thinks that this old man is connoting himself.

    Failure in the pursuit of a son or something, in exchange for him, it is a failure in the pursuit of a daughter, but he is still suffering and can’t say it, in front of others with a smile and proud of himself Three big fat boys were born.

    Zhang Chengbei sighed quietly, but I have to say, Wang Yuanzheng is right, if he really gave birth to a daughter in the future, he would be afraid of a bowl of water Injustice, it is not okay to favor the daughter and treat the son unfairly.

    His family now has three sons, except that they have no daughters, they can be regarded as living peacefully and beautifully.

    However, occasionally I still regret eye soreness.

    Before Lu Yan’s house next door came back, Zhang Chengbei was particularly sore to Wang Yuanzheng. Wang Yuanzheng didn’t take gossip seriously at all, and the people next to him said It doesn’t make any sense, so I won’t say it.

    Old Wang’s husband and wife both have jobs, they only have one daughter they love, not to mention how comfortable and happy, Wang Niannian is quiet and well-behaved and listens to his parents, She is the ideal daughter of the masses.

    After so many years, the hair on the top of Lao Wang’s head is not less, and he already needs to wear a hat to hide his baldness, and his sons are worried about his hair loss.

    ”Old Wang, what about your family?”

    ”I’m studying dance at the Children’s Palace. I’ll stay at the old Lu’s house for a while and go back with my daughter by the way.”

    Several people were talking, Lu Weizhou, Lu Weize, and Wang Niannian came over. The two Lu Weizhou brothers also went to the Lucheng Children’s Palace for a circle today. Wang Niannian was in I studied dance, so I came back together.

    Wang Niannian is much shorter than the Lu brothers, but her figure is slender and light, with a pair of watery apricot eyes as watery as her mother Xue Xiaohui, she He was wearing a snow-white, slim-fitting dance suit, with a beautiful pink hem on his waist and a little red on his forehead. As soon as he saw his father, he trotted behind Wang Yuanzheng.

    She called someone shyly.

    ”Uncle Lu, Aunt Qin, Uncle Zhang…”

    Sweet Bean Rong sisters saw her, and they whispered sweetly: “Sister Nian Nian is so beautiful.”

    ”Doudou and Rongrong look good.”

    ”Niannian sister’s dress is beautiful!”

    ”It’s a dress for dancing.”

    …

    Zhang Chengbei looked at Lu Yan without a smile: “In the future, your bean paste will also be sent to the Children’s Palace to learn to sing and dance?”

    ”Let’s see what they want to learn.” Lu Yan put down his two daughters, and the sisters Tiandourong went to talk to the brothers and sisters beside him, he hooked him Wang Yuanzheng’s shoulder: “More exchanges in the future.”

    ”I never thought that I would have two daughters before, bro, your daughters are so old, we will be together in the future, I’ll talk more about raising my daughter.”

     “No problem!” Wang Yuanzheng agreed immediately, he didn’t want to talk about anything else, he liked to talk about his wife and daughter.

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    Although he has the heart to communicate, he has no daughter.

    Zhang Chengbei slandered: The deer (Lu) in front of him likes to pretend to be in front of him. He must have said this in front of him on purpose to show that he has daughter.

    His eyes stayed on Lu Yan, thinking it was really hateful, especially you old Lu, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, originally thought you were He is a simple, honest and reliable person, but I didn’t expect this kid to be very bad, and he has harmed me for ten years.

    ”The four brothers and sisters of your family have returned to our family home, and there will be more playmates in the future.”

     “They can bring their sister to play.”

    Zhang Chengbei looked at the two sweet bean paste and thought: play more with you sister dance.

    ”It just so happens that several of your children are here, how about I take some pictures for you? I bought the latest imported camera, a photojournalist. It’s not necessarily as good as mine…”

    Zhang Chengbei is not without things to show off. In the past few years, he has practiced his photography skills hard, bought a lot of books on light and shadow, and talked to others Professional photographers have studied, and even bought imported cameras. Wu Lun is the technology and the equipment are appropriate. Taking advantage of the crowd at this moment, if you don’t show off at this time, when will you wait to show it off?

    Don’t the couple from the Lu family next door also like to take pictures? Aren’t the pictures all over the wall? Isn’t the album one after the other?

    The old Zhang family is even better at taking pictures!

    ”Take pictures? Good! Let’s take pictures together!”

    Zhang Chengbei’s proposal, everyone responded positively, so the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Liu family and the Wang family Everyone came and stood a few rows of people. Zhang Chengbei took out his imported camera and took several group photos of them.

    But…

    After the filming was over, Zhang Chengbei found out:…what about myself?

    Should there be one more Zhang Chengbei in the picture?

    ”We still have to take pictures of our old Zhang, he is so good-looking, we can’t let other people take pictures, Lao Zhang, you look good on the camera, but don’t take pictures of people It’s broken!” Teacher Huang commanded with a smile.

    The old man Zhang showed off his imported camera, and Teacher Huang also wanted to show off his husband’s good photography skills.

    —must be done by him!

    ”We Lao Zhang took a lot of good-looking photos for me before, and they look better than those taken in other photo studios, Xiao Qin, if you have the skills Come to my house and see.”

    ”Okay, looking at your old Zhang’s posture, he must have practiced a good technique.”

    ”He must do it himself!”

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    He glared at his own teacher Huang, thinking that he didn’t want this daughter-in-law anymore! Who is this? ! Is there anyone who sells her husband like this? Shouldn’t he take the initiative to think that his husband should also go in and take a photo?

    Zhang Chengbei worked hard to take pictures of this group of people. Although he was full of complaints, he did not take pictures indiscriminately.

    He has to show his skills and must take good pictures!

    ”Xiao Qin, have we known each other for almost ten years?”

    ”Yeah, it’s been almost ten years.”

    Ten years ago, Qin Rou and Lu Yan came to Qiongzhou Island. In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

    The 10th wedding anniversary of the two of them is also in these days.

    Although Qin Rou didn’t take the initiative to mention it on the surface, she was quite concerned about it. After all, this is a special day. Ten years ago, it was like that. One inexplicable day, she and Lu Yan met for the second time, and they got married.

    Recalling that day, Qin Rou thought that their marriage was casual enough, but now it’s the tenth wedding anniversary, shouldn’t it be so casual?

    It’s the tenth anniversary after all.

    The day before the wedding anniversary, Lu Yan came home with a big suitcase. Although he did not take the initiative to say anything, Qin Rou intuitively knew that it must be for herself one’s gift.

    She wondered what this man Lu Yan would give her as a 10th wedding anniversary gift.

    Qin Rou stood at the edge of the box and hesitated. It was a huge cardboard box, like the kind that houses home appliances. what.

    ”Curious?” Lu Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile and looked at his daughter-in-law.

    Qin Rou nodded, she was really curious, but she had a sense of ritual, knowing that such a gift had to be opened on the wedding anniversary. significance.

    Chief of Staff Lu really doesn’t know how to do things, and the gifts given tomorrow should be brought back tomorrow.

    ”Kiss.” Lu Yan pointed to his cheek, Qin Rou leaned over, tiptoed kissed his face, and smiled: “Just kiss him. tell me?”

    Lu Yan blinked his eyes, clenched his chin, and gestured, “Remove it yourself.”

    Qin Rou: “???”

    Today? Shouldn’t it be a gift for tomorrow?

    Qin Rou is suspicious: “Today? Did you remember the wrong date? Is this a gift for me?”

    No one gave a gift a day in advance.

    ”You will know if you dismantle it.”

    ”Then I really took it apart?”

    ”Tear down.”

     Said that Qin Rou really went to take a knife to open the gift, she was too curious what gift Lu Yan would give her.

    Under Lu Yan’s doting smile, Qin Rou opened the huge cardboard box, and then she found that it contained nothing else…

    —that was actually a white wedding dress!

    It was a white and complicated floor-length wedding dress. The skirt was very large, the layers of patterns were exquisite and gorgeous, and the sparkling sequins spread countless brilliance in the sun.

    Qin Rou was stunned, Lu Yan smiled and hugged her face and said, “Tomorrow let’s wear this to take pictures on the beach.”

    ”I bought it from overseas by an ocean-going crew, do you like it?”

    Love it! !

    Is this an answer?

    Qin Rou threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her excitedly, the huge force almost knocked Lu Yan down, Lu Yan firmly hugged her eyes My daughter-in-law, countless joy overflowed my heart.

    ”Lu Yan, I love you so much!” It is rare for Qin Rou to express her love so frankly.

    ”Me too.”

    Lu Yan smiled and said in her ear, “Would you like to change it and try?”

    ”Change it tomorrow.” Qin Rou smiled shyly and blushed. She went back to the room and took out the things she had prepared for a long time. , squeezed and pushed it in front of Lu Yan.

    ”I also prepared a gift for you, I wanted to give it to you tomorrow.”

    ”Then give it to me tomorrow.”

    ”Just…just today.” Qin Rou originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, but now she feels in a good mood, she can’t wait until tomorrow, She wanted to tell Lu Yan those words now.

    Lu Yan kissed the back of her hand and said with a smile, “Okay, let your brother Lu come to see what gifts your daughter-in-law has prepared.”

    Lu Yan opened the gift box in his hand, only to see a fine light flashing in front of him, and the next second, he saw the snow-white one placed in the yellow flannel pearl.

    —This is a natural pearl from the deep sea, and the surface of the pearl cannot find any flaws, so it can be said to be flawless.

    ”This is what I got by accident when I went out to sea with a fishing boat. I opened a pearl oyster. I didn’t expect it to contain pearls, let alone this one. Pearls are so flawless.”

    Qin Rou looked at the man with a smile and continued:

    ”Lu Yan, you are like this pearl, a rare thing in my life, I am so happy to meet you ten years ago , marrying you is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

    The next day, Qin Rou changed into the snow-white wedding dress, snow-white gloves, and the long skirt dragged on the floor. She turned her head to look at the man beside her, The pearls under the earlobes shone finely.

    The man next to him took off his usual white military uniform and put on a light gray suit. of tenderness.

    Qin Rou took his arm, looked up at his handsome face, only felt that her throbbing heart was about to jump from her body Out.

    Lu Yan lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.

    ”Wow!”

    ”Mom is so pretty!”

    The four little guys in the family all gathered around and made amazing noises. The sisters Tiandourong looked at today’s mother and thought that the mother in the wedding dress is good Beautiful so beautiful.

    ”Mom is the most beautiful mom in the world!”

    Ten years ago, they didn’t even have a wedding. Ten years later, they could only take four cubs to the beach to take wedding photos .

    It also comes with an exclusive photographer, Zhang Chengbei.

    Zhang Chengbei saw the couple dressed up in the next door early in the morning, his face was split.

    This bastard, Lu Yan, said it well in advance, saying that he would ask him to take a few pictures of their young couple. accepted.

    And now, what wedding photos did he take for the couple to go to the beach? !

    His mother’s tenth anniversary wedding photo.

    I have never filmed it!

    Zhang Chengbei is now more uncomfortable than eating ten sour lemons, I really want to go back and slap myself, who made you naively promise this old dog Lu, now Get on the pirate ship to take pictures for people and act as a photographer.

    Today the sky is beautiful, the sun is excellent, the light blue sky, the white clouds, the dark blue sea behind them, their feet are stepping on the fine sand, The handsome man held the hand of the woman beside him, and the children held up the gorgeous snow-white skirt.

    Lu Yan hugged the woman in front of him and said gently, “You are very beautiful today.”

    Qin Rou blinked: “You are handsome too!”

    Zhang Chengbei looked at the picture in the camera, his face was green like the sapphire bitter gourd planted in his yard.

    Doudou and Rongrong excitedly said, “Uncle Zhang, you should take a good picture of your mother!”

    ”Uncle Zhang! I want to take pictures of Mom and Dad!”

    ”Brother, give me the flowers.”

    ”Dad, you want to kiss mom!”

    …

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    Their figures walked through the coconut groves on the beach, stepped on the coastal reefs, photographed the blue sky and white clouds, and even more gorgeous sunsets.

    Under the sunset, a woman in a snow-white wedding dress snuggled up to the man beside her, they looked at the surging waves in the distance, and their backs overlapped together. .

    Under this picture, children’s childish voices rise and fall one after another.

    Zhang Chengbei said numbly: “You guys finally take a family photo.”

    At the end of the day, Zhang Chengbei’s face was green and his heart was sour, but he still had to take pictures of the couple in front of him seriously. Didn’t that lose face for his man?

    I have known you and my husband for ten years, but I did not want to take wedding photos for you and my wife!

    If time could go back, he would like to go back ten years.

    Outrageous? Just ten years ago, why did he take the initiative to talk to Lu Yan?
