After Xu Shiyan delivered the things, he walked around the farm again and made sure that everything was okay here before riding his bike home.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw General Tie guarding the door.
Needless to say, Su Anying must have taken the child to her parents.
During the Lunar New Year, Zhou Guilan was worried that her third son and his wife would be busy as they had to take care of the children and make dumplings.
So I went there in person, and together with Su Anying, we carried the two younger ones and led the two older ones over here.
When Xu Shiyan entered, bursts of laughter came from the room.
When I entered the east room, I saw Su Anying making dumplings with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Xu Chenghou was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding a spoon in his hand and feeding Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping the canned food one spoonful at a time.
I don’t know who came over to visit and brought canned food. The old man didn’t say anything and opened it for his grandchildren to eat.
Where can I find anything delicious these days?
Summer was about to end, and Xu Shiyan planted many fruit trees in the garden, which provided fruits to eat.
What's there in winter? The only ones that can be chewed are probably big radishes.
Occasionally, I see an apple seller selling apples, but before I know what to do, they are all sold out, making it impossible for ordinary people to buy them.
Canned fruit is delicious in the eyes of adults and children.
If a child has a cold or fever, just keep it in a can. It is more effective than medicine and injections. It can be called a magical tool.
Even if the Xu family's life is better than that of other families, it is impossible for Xu Haiyuan and others to open their mouths and eat canned food.
The two children sat obediently in front of their grandfather, waiting for their grandfather to scoop out the soft pulp for them to eat.
Eating and laughing at the same time, not to mention how happy I am.
"Dad, why are you giving them canned food? It's quite expensive. How about leaving it to you and my mother?"
Xu Shiyan walked in, hung his coat on the wall, came to the edge of the kang, reached out and pinched his son's cheek.
"The greedy cat only knows how to coax your grandpa, but he doesn't know how to save good things for his grandpa and grandma to eat.
You two should eat less, be careful if you eat too much, you won’t be able to eat dumplings at night.”
"Look at you, I managed to coax them not to make a fuss and let your wife and others make dumplings properly.
These two children have to learn how to make dumplings, and they can’t even use the dough they knead."
Xu Chenghou glanced at his son, his tone full of doting on the two children.
"Then why don't you beat them? Beat them hard. Beat them once so that they will remember them and keep them safe the next time."
Xu Shiyan saw that his father was in a good mood today, so he deliberately said this to scare the two children.
Xu Chenghou glared at his son, "You can take him home later and beat him up, as long as you don't do it in front of my eyes, you can do whatever you want."
It doesn’t work here, I can’t see it.”
Of course Xu Chenghou knew that he was trying to scare the two little ones, but he couldn't help it. A grandfather who loves his grandson is really not nonsense.
"The canned goods were sold the day before yesterday, and the supply and marketing cooperative came with a batch of them at a reduced price. They were cheaper than usual. I bought them because they looked good.
He was reserved specifically to coax them, so that they would not always cause trouble.
Do you think this is good? I feed them and they eat, and they eat deliciously."
"They can eat whatever they like, no matter what they eat.
You hurry up and wash your hands, go and help wrap it up, and take advantage of them being honest right now to wrap it up quickly."
No matter how smart a child is, he is still a child after all and will always be naughty.
In order to coax the children not to cause trouble, Xu Chenghou really used all kinds of methods.
Xu Shiyan took a look and saw that the other end had just been wrapped with half a curtain. Most dumplings made at home were wrapped with two curtains, which was quite a difference.
So I quickly washed my hands and took the rolling pin to roll the dough.
Xu Shiyan is very good at rolling out dumpling skins quickly and roundly, and can be made by one person for three people.
There was an extra helper, so naturally it was faster. After a while, another half of the curtain was covered.
Su Anying went to boil water, and while the water was boiling to make the dumplings, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan went to the yard together and lit up a 200-gun firecracker.
When the firecrackers sounded, Zhou Guilan and Xu Shiqin quickly picked up the two little ones and covered their ears for fear of scaring them.
Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping, on the other hand, were not afraid at all. They followed behind their grandfather and father, clapping their hands happily.
The dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork were very fresh and everyone ate them.
Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping may have eaten too many canned food. After eating three or four dumplings each, they both complained that they were full and refused to eat any more.
The adults didn't care about them. If they don't want to eat, just don't eat. They can play as they please.
As a result, the two children said they were full and didn't want to eat dumplings, but after a while they took down the cans placed on the windowsill.
The two of them dug out the canned food with spoons and ate it happily. When the adults noticed something was wrong, the two children even drank the canned soup.
"Oh my God, you two have eaten two cans this afternoon, and now you have even drank the soup. You are not allowed to pee on the bed at night?"
When Zhou Guilan saw it, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly took away the empty cans and bottles.
I was afraid that the two children would accidentally smash the bottle and hurt them again.
"Yingzi, please be more careful at night and ask them to get up and relieve themselves.
How big is your belly? It would be weird if you eat so many cans and drink soup and don’t pee on the bed." Zhou Guilan warned her daughter-in-law worriedly.
"You too, just give it to your children. You can open them one by one, or two at once.
If they caught him, how could he still eat it?" Zhou Guilan rolled her eyes at her husband and began to complain about Xu Chenghou.
It’s not that I feel sorry for the food, the key is that I’m afraid that my children will be hurt by eating it.
The two are five and four years old. They ate two cans. What if they get diarrhea and have diarrhea?
"One is an apple and the other is an orange. They both want to eat it, so what can I do? Just open it and let them eat it.
Why do we still feel so distressed when the child eats something?" Xu Chenghou glanced at his wife and muttered in a low voice.
The two babies were very happy while eating, but now they felt exhausted, so one hugged grandpa's neck, and the other ran to find grandma to hug, both of them were too lazy to move.
When the old couple saw this, they stopped arguing. They each held their children and coaxed them, letting them go for a walk on the ground to eat.
The two children were eating canned food to keep them going, and Xu Shiyan couldn't say he was going home right away.
Even if he said so, Xu Chenghou would never let them leave at this time. He was afraid that the couple would beat the children when they went home, so he coaxed the two children to play on the ground.
Xu Shiyan had no choice but to sit on the edge of the kang and look at the Clivia in bloom on the south window sill.
Yellow, red, orange, red with yellow, yellow with red, really all kinds of colors and shapes, competing for beauty.
Xu Shiqin's ability in raising Clivia is really not impressive. The flowers she raised are so beautiful.
"It's a pity that I thought of it too late. If I had thought of it earlier, I could have raised them all and made more money by selling them."
Xu Shiyan looked at the flowers and muttered with regret.
Nowadays, all the seedlings on the market are small ones, which are cheap, but unfortunately they won’t grow much and won’t bloom in two years.
Not to mention those with seeds. When the time comes, seedlings with only a few leaves will cost tens of dollars.
