After breakfast, he moved a deck chair and sunbathed in the yard.
Xiao Wu was so playful that he disappeared with rhubarb after breakfast.
Banggeng also left him alone. With Dahuang here, there was no need to worry about Xiaowu's safety.
Shen Xiaonan was playing with the sewing machine in the room, saying she wanted to make clothes for them.
Xiaoying was playing shuttlecock in the yard, having a great time alone.
As for the Jia Zhang family, they still have the same shoe soles that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
In this era, cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles were mostly worn. The whole family was very expensive in shoes, but Jia and Zhang's shoes were not worn out quickly.
"Xiaoying, do you want to play on the swing?" Banggeng looked at her daughter and prepared to make something fun for her.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xiaoying didn't even kick the shuttlecock, she ran to Banggan and screamed excitedly, "Great, dad, I want to swing."
"Okay, Dad will make it for you today." Banggeng rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to have a big fight.
In fact, with his carpentry skills, making a swing is a piece of cake. Even if he has no skills, he can easily make it.
There happened to be two good pieces of wood at home, so he decided to use them in order to give his daughter something to play with.
But before making the swing, he had to dig two holes to bury the wood deeper to ensure safety.
After digging for a long time, two holes about one meter deep have been dug.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dad." Xiaoying stayed by her side obediently, serving him tea and water.
"Haha, it's not hard. As long as our precious daughter is happy, daddy is willing to do anything." The post was full of doting.
He loved his daughter to the core, holding her in his mouth for fear of melting, holding her in his hands for fear of breaking.
Lunch at noon was cooked by Shen Xiaonan. Although her cooking skills are not as good as Banggeng, they are not bad. Her cooking skills are on par with Shazhu. She is also a great chef outside.
Perhaps due to comparison, the dishes cooked by Shen Xiaonan are not as popular as Bangjie.
Fortunately, the two little guys didn't dislike it and enjoyed the meal quite happily.
After lunch, Banggeng rested for a while, looked at his eager daughter and son, and without delay, got up and started to continue working.
Hearing that Banggeng was playing on the swing, Xiaowu didn't go out to finish, and excitedly surrounded Banggeng with Xiaoying, full of anticipation.
The hole has been dug, and the rest is easy.
The wood was treated with stick stems three times, five times and two times divided. For the sake of beauty, some decorative patterns were carved on it, and then it was brushed with varnish to make the wood brighter.
After setting up the frame and fixing the two upright posts, all that's left is the swing's seat plate and fixed ropes.
For safety, Banggan found some thick and big ropes. Originally, the ropes at home were not that big, so he specially dismantled them and knitted them again.
The swing is located in the open air in the yard. In order to be waterproof, he also wrapped a circle of tape to prevent the rope from getting wet in rainy days and easily corroding.
There are two swing seat rods prepared. Although it is nominally made for my baby daughter, my son cannot leave it behind.
Don't favor one over the other.
"Okay, let's sit down and try." After working for a long time, Bangge clapped his hands and waved to the two little guys.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying couldn't wait for a long time.
Hearing Banggeng's words, he immediately rushed over and sat on the swing happily.
The two little guys were already rocking proficiently without pushing with sticks.
The two little guys are very happy now that they have new toys.
He didn't even go out to play. He stayed on the swing and couldn't get off.
"Go ahead and play, don't worry, you won't have time to play in a few months." Banggeng said with a smirk on his face.
In order to give his son and daughter a good childhood, Banggeng did not teach them reading and literacy in advance, and even stopped Shen Xiaonan from teaching her.
But after studying, they will suffer.
Bangge’s educational philosophy is to play when you should play and learn when you should learn.
He would not let his son and daughter take this path just because he and Shen Xiaonan are both doctors.
He will respect the children's own choices.
Let them find an industry that interests them, or simply start their own career.
Bangge lay on the deck chair in the yard again, watching the two little guys playing happily.
At this moment, Banggeng suddenly noticed a head quietly peeking out of the door.
BangGeng took a look and found out that this was the daughter of a neighbor who was two years older than Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying. She must have just returned home and heard the laughter of Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying, so she ran over to watch the fun.
"Xiaoying, your good friend is here, let her come in and play!" BangGeng greeted.
"Sister Xiaoya." Xiaoying cheered, jumped off the swing, and greeted her happily.
The neighbor's child's surname is Li and his name is Li Yanan.
Since moving here, Xiaoying quickly became friends with her and often played together.
"Uncle Banggen." Li Yanan greeted Banggen politely.
"Haha, I just made a swing at home, you and Xiaoying should play first!" Banggeng said with a smile.
Then he said to Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, Xiaoya is here. Come down first and let sister play for a while."
He knew that his father had picked it up from outside.
"Stop dawdling, come down quickly and push us." Xiaoying showed her sister's dignity. Not only did she not let Xiao Wu play, she also made him work as a coolie and push the swing for them.
Watching the two little girls playing on the swing, Xiao Wu pushed the swing with a grimace from behind, but soon discovered that pushing the swing was also fun, especially when the two sisters were pushed higher and higher, the two sisters screamed.
He's in high spirits.
"My son will never become a straight man in the future!" Bangge touched his chin, a little doubtful.
Obviously he has such a high emotional intelligence, why didn't his son inherit this?
Could it be that the good genes were taken away by the daughter while she was still in the womb?
Playing until it was almost dark, Xiaoya finally remembered that he hadn't gone home yet.
He said goodbye in a hurry, and said hello to Bangge obediently before leaving.
"Come over and play when you have time!" Bangge maintained a welcoming attitude towards this little neighbor.
After all, Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying grew up in the countryside and were used to playing with children of the same age. Now that they have come to the city, they have not made many friends.
"Then I'll come over to play again tomorrow." Li Yanan's temperament matches her name, and she has a cheerful spirit in everything she says and does.
When I heard Bangge’s invitation, I agreed without thinking.
"Welcome, welcome, I'll make some snacks for you tomorrow." Bangge also liked Li Yanan's refreshing energy.
"Dad, what delicious food are you going to make for us?" Xiaoying asked curiously.
"Spicy shredded chicken." Banggeng replied with a smile.
"I don't think I've ever eaten this before." Xiaoying tilted her head and thought about it carefully.
However, although she had never eaten the spicy shredded chicken that Bangge mentioned, just hearing the word spicy made her mouth water.
