Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons cycle.
Time flies, the years fly by, and the annual Beginning of Winter comes quietly.
After this period of cultivation, Zhao Wenzhuo's body was finally almost restored.
I finally got the OK from the doctor and I can go to work.
This day coincides with the beginning of winter. An old Beijinger said: "The beginning of winter makes up for the winter, and you don't make up for the empty words."
Two good things came together, how could we not celebrate, so Zhang Guifang got busy early in the morning.
Zhang Yu hadn't gotten up yet when he heard the noise outside the house.
But this was nothing to him. Zhang Yu turned over and planned to go back to sleep again.
But before I fell asleep, I heard a knock on the door. Along with the knock on the door was my sister-in-law's voice: "Xiaoyu, are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up, sister-in-law, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon." Hearing the shouts from outside the house, Zhang Yu didn't even bother to go back to sleep. He got up from the bed in one fell swoop.
The second one gets dressed.
Thanks to his good habit of arranging the clothes he will wear tomorrow and placing them on the chair at the end of the bed before going to bed, it only took him a short minute from the time he heard his sister-in-law's call to the time he walked to the door.
When Zhang Yu walked to the door, he shook his head vigorously twice to dispel the sleepiness and make himself appear more energetic.
Then he opened the door and glanced at his sister-in-law at the door. Zhang Yu greeted her as usual: "Good morning, sister-in-law!"
Looking at her nephew who was still looking sleepy at this time, Zhang Guifang glanced at him angrily for the first time: "It's so early, the sun is shining on your buttocks."
As he spoke, he saw the dark circles under Zhang Yu's eyes, and the dissatisfaction on his face deepened: "When did you go to bed last night? Did you stay up late again? Staying up late is harmful to your body. You stay up late every day..."
Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to start the education mode again, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a toothache.
He didn't hate his sister-in-law's teachings, but the teachings really didn't need to be so nagging.
It's strange to say that I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law during this time. Her temper suddenly became louder, and sometimes she would nag her endlessly. Just like today, if she didn't change the subject as soon as possible, she would continue to talk.
Chat for an hour or two.
Zhang Yu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of how his younger uncle was tortured for smoking some time ago.
My sister-in-law's nagging skills have really been increasing recently, and even my most powerful sister-in-law can't hold on anymore.
In order to avoid making the same mistake as his uncle, Zhang Yu decided to change the subject first before talking about anything else.
As for what's wrong with my sister-in-law recently, Zhang Yu also has some guesses.
No matter how you look at it, this looks more like what later generations would call "menopause."
After thinking about the menopause uploaded on the Internet, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that his sister-in-law's performance was quite good, at least she was not too irritable.
Ever since he thought that his sister-in-law might be menopausal, Zhang Yu began to think about whether he should find a reason to take his sister-in-law to have her pulse checked by an old doctor to see if she could be treated.
After all, this is not only beneficial to my sister-in-law, but also allows innocent people like them to escape the punishment of nagging.
Zhang Yu thought a lot in his mind, but he came back to his senses only for a moment. Seeing his sister-in-law opening her mouth and wanting to continue speaking, Zhang Yu hurriedly interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, what happened to you just now?"
You should know that although Zhang Guifang doesn't like him sleeping in, she won't force him to sleep in, and she usually won't call him when nothing happens.
Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Guifang was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead fiercely and said with some annoyance: "Oh, look at my head, I almost forgot about the business!"
"Hey, if you forget, sister-in-law, just forget about it. It's not a big deal, so why did you hit her so hard?" Looking at her forehead that turned red immediately after being patted, she felt a little distressed.
Listening to her nephew's concern, Zhang Guifang felt warm in her heart, and at the same time she became increasingly dissatisfied with the other gentlemen in the family.
You see, I really don’t blame her for favoring Xiaoyu. In this family, it is her nephew who loves her the most.
It's not that Zhang Guifang looks down on other people, it's just that there is no harm if there is no comparison.
If other people in the family encountered this situation, their first reaction would not be to laugh at her for her poor memory. It would be nice if she could forget about it. How could they possibly notice her red forehead from being slapped?
So, Xiaoyu is still considerate!
Zhang Guifang was happy, but Zhang Yu, who was standing next to him, felt a little creepy and had chills running down his spine.
Seeing the expression on his sister-in-law's face, Zhang Yu subconsciously took a step back.
All this cannot be blamed on him for being timid or ignorant. In fact, he has never seen his sister-in-law show such a gentle expression.
This is too pervasive.
Ever since she was little, no matter how nice Zhang Guifang was to Zhang Yu, she had never shown such an expression.
Thinking of his sister-in-law's "gentle" smile just now, Zhang Yu couldn't help but shudder.
To be honest, if he wasn't afraid of being beaten, he would still use Sun Wukong's words now: "Monster, please give me back to my sister-in-law!"
Of course, Zhang Yu still cherished his life very much. In order not to be beaten to death, he swallowed these words silently.
Zhang Guifang was too moved and did not notice anything wrong with her nephew's face, otherwise he might never show such a "gentle" expression again.
Just when Zhang Yu was thinking about whether to bring his eldest brother over to "enjoy" his sister-in-law's rare "tenderness" with him, Zhang Guifang finally returned to normal.
Of course, one must ignore the "tenderness" in Zhang Guifang's eyes.
But compared to just now, Zhang Yu can still barely accept this situation now.
As for "There is nothing you can do if you don't accept it", there is no need to say such hurtful words.
At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly recalled Zhao Wenzhuo's expression that day.
He remembered that his sister-in-law was so "gentle" that day, almost exactly the same as his sister-in-law today.
This this……
Zhang Yuneng said: "The ancients did not deceive me sincerely, it is not that one family does not want to enter the same house!"
Of course, Zhang Guifang, who was touched by her nephew's concern for her at this time, did not see the expression on Zhang Yu's face and did not know what he was thinking.
Otherwise, Zhang Yu may have his first male-female doubles match in his life.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, I remember that you have a melon in your house."
"Wogua?" The topic changed so quickly that Zhang Yu didn't react for a while.
After repeating it, I finally understood the meaning and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there are more than twenty, and they are all placed in the corner of the kitchen."
Zhang Yu said that he was going to get it.
To be honest, Zhang Yu didn't really equate pumpkins with pumpkins at first, but as time went by, he followed the local customs and gradually learned to call pumpkins pumpkins.
But sometimes when someone hears someone talking about wogua, he may need to react.
Speaking of which, these melons in the corner of the kitchen were picked when the pumpkin seedlings were pulled out some time ago. They have been stored for a long time, and I don’t know if they are damaged or not.
But it's probably not broken. The day before yesterday, he took a small one from the side to cook rice. He didn't smell any odor when he came in and out these days.
There should be no problem, Zhang Yu thought with some uncertainty.
Because many of the melons had not grown yet when he was pulling the seedlings, he picked them directly when they were tender.
He remembered that this kind of tender melon should not last as long as the old ones.
After he lifted the straw on the melon nest, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not broken.
To be honest, Zhang Yu prefers sweet potatoes to eating sweet potatoes.
The reason why they store melons is because they have too many knots. The old ones are fine and can be used to make soup, but Zhang Yu doesn’t like eating the tender ones.
So when his sister-in-law asked for them, Zhang Yu couldn't wait to let her take them all.
While taking it, he asked: "Sister-in-law, are these enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. You won't need so much. Just one will do. I'll leave the rest with you first." Seeing her nephew looking like he wanted to give all the melons to him, Zhang Guifang was also a little bit dumbfounded, but it was just a package.
It's just dumplings, there's no need for so many melons.
Turning to look at the pile of melons in the corner, Zhang Yu felt that he could never consume them all. After all, he had only eaten two melons in the past ten days.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu held out another big melon and said with a smile: "Is one enough? How about you get another one, sister-in-law?"
"No, I'm just making dumplings. I won't use any of them." Zhang Yu didn't mean to hide his expression. Zhang Guifang could easily see his thoughts from his face and refused with a bit of laughter.
"Oh!" Zhang Yu put down the big melon in his hand with some disappointment. He thought he could give out two more this time.
It's just dumplings. Thinking of the dumplings my sister-in-law mentioned, Zhang Yu became energetic again.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat dumplings today."
"Eat." Seeing him regaining his energy, Zhang Guifang was also happy. He was still a child at such an old age, so he immediately became happy when he heard about eating dumplings.
"What's the filling?" Zhang Yu likes to eat dumplings.
“It’s stuffed with melon and eggs.”
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yu opened his mouth in surprise: "Is there still this stuffing?"
Seeing her nephew's ignorant look, Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "Why don't you have it? There are so many things that can be used to make dumplings."
Zhang Yu was not embarrassed because of this, but he was a little curious: "Why did you think of making dumplings today?"
"You forgot that today is the beginning of winter, so you must eat dumplings.
It’s said that if you don’t carry the dumpling bowl at the beginning of winter, your ears will freeze and no one will care.” Zhang Guifang explained.
After listening to her explanation, Zhang Yu nodded and said by analogy: "Then it is also the rule to eat dumplings filled with melon fillings on this day."
"Hmm." Zhang Guifang felt guilty. To be honest, she was not born and raised in Beijing, and she didn't know the real reason for the custom of eating dumplings stuffed with melon fillings. The reason why she makes dumplings with melon fillings every year at the beginning of winter is also
I just learned it from other people.
Zhang Yu simply did not continue to ask questions, which made Zhang Guifang breathe a sigh of relief.
Just looking at her nephew's continuous yawns and eye-catching dark circles, Zhang Guifang couldn't help but frown.
"Xiaoyu, how long did you stay up last night?"
Zhang Yu couldn't help but yawned again. After hearing his sister-in-law's question, he wiped away the tears caused by yawning and answered: "Twelve o'clock."
In fact, when he fell asleep, he had already said that the east was white, and he still remembered that the sky was stained by the morning glow, which looked particularly intoxicating.
In fact, he didn't want to stay up late. After all, he still clearly remembered what happened to him in his previous life. How could he be willing to make the same mistakes again?
But there was no way. Some time ago, the teacher gave him a difficult problem and asked him to try and see if he could solve it.
He was busy for a long time, checking various information, and even went to the simulation classroom to ask the teacher there for advice. After struggling for a long time, a flash of inspiration finally flashed through his mind.
He seemed to have some clues, but not many.
He was worried that he would forget after sleeping all night, so he stayed up late.
However, staying up late this time is not without some gains. Although the problem has not been completely solved, the idea has been found.
As long as you continue to follow that train of thought, the problem will eventually be solved.
Thinking of the meaning behind that difficult problem, Zhang Yu felt that staying up late actually had nothing to do with it.
As long as he pays attention, it shouldn't be like the previous life!
"Xiaoyu, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep quickly. I'll call you after the dumplings are in the pot." Guifang watched her nephew yawning one after another with distress, knowing that he definitely didn't go to bed at twelve o'clock.
"Okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and get some sleep." Zhang Yu really couldn't hold on anymore, so he said this and got ready to go to bed.
By the time Zhang Yu was woken up again, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
After washing up, he went to his sister-in-law's house. As soon as he sat down, Zhao Feng placed a large plate of steaming dumplings on the table.
My sister-in-law started to greet everyone: "Eat quickly!"
Seeing Xiao Zha move his chopsticks, Zhang Yu also picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
The moment you bite it, the juice pops out.
After tasting the taste, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. He had never known that dumplings filled with melon fillings could be so delicious.
If you first look at how other people eat, you will know that they have the same idea as Zhang Yu.
After a satisfying meal of melon-stuffed dumplings, Zhang Yu and Zhao Feng were kicked out and asked to deliver quilts to Zhao Xiaoping, who had not yet gone on vacation.
There is only such a girl in the family, so Zhao Wenzhuo naturally feels distressed.
Without waiting for my sister-in-law's instructions, she neatly packed a portion of dumplings for the brothers to take to their daughter.
Naturally, the two brothers would not refuse.
Just like that, Zhang Yu carried the dumplings and Zhao Wenzhuo carried the quilt and walked out.
As for why they didn't push the bicycles, it was of course because the weather was too cold, and the school was quite far away. They didn't want to ride for half a day and then ride back again.
If you have that time, wouldn't it be better to take a car?
The two brothers walked out as they talked. They didn't know that there was a big "surprise" waiting for them at the entrance of the courtyard, or in other words, waiting for Zhao Wenzhuo.
At this time, there was a woman squatting in the corner of the courtyard door. She stared at the door and everyone who came in and out.
During this period, no one’s enthusiastic aunt asked her who she was? Did she come here to find someone? Did she need their help?
But nothing was answered.
Seeing that she was in such a mess and that she was a girl, the aunts felt that nothing could go wrong, so they relaxed their vigilance and stopped staring at her.
Who would have thought that something would go wrong if we were so lax.
