Dad is about to tell a story, and Zhou Qingxian and the others are more serious.
Ding Qiunan and the others were more direct, they all stopped, they just liked listening to his story.
After noticing their movements, Zhou Jimin smiled and said to the little guy in his arms:
"The next story is not suitable for you to listen to. What if you can't sleep at night?"
"Ah? Dad, do you want to tell a ghost story? We are not afraid."
Xiaoyi said loudly, Xiaoxian and Xiaobudian nodded repeatedly, indicating that they were both brave.
"Why?"
"Because we have a father."
"My presence may not necessarily be your blessing. You'd better not listen to this ghost story. Be good and go back to your room."
The more they say this, the more they don’t want to leave.
With all your expectations raised, how could you be willing to leave?
Zhou Jimin had no choice but to ask Ding Qiunan to help, but she shook her head and said that you caused the trouble yourself and solved it yourself.
He had no choice but to start speaking.
"It is said that during the Republic of China, there was a farmer named Yao Mantun in Yaojiagou who supported his family by his weaving skills."
"On this day, he took the woven baskets, brooms, etc. to the city to sell them. When passing by a pastry shop, he saw the candies and bought three."
"His baby likes this kind of candy very much. It's soft and golden on the outside, and the tender sugar juice on the inside flows out when he bites it."
Although there are not many words in the beginning of the story, it explains things clearly.
Ding Qiunan and the others all listened with interest, and the fourth child even stopped writing because he was also fascinated.
The story is very simple. Yao Mantun rushed home carrying a load, and met Aunt Yao from the village chief's family at the entrance of the village.
But I saw that Aunt Yao's eyes were dull, her lips were blue, her whole face was swollen, and there were some bruises on her forehead. She didn't say hello when she saw him, and just sat motionless.
Yao Mantun gave Aunt Yao a horn candy and then went home.
Then when I passed by the village chief's house, I found that someone was dead in the village chief's house.
In the mourning hall, Aunt Yao's photo is placed in the center.
In the photo, Aunt Yao has an expressionless face, black lips, swollen face, and a very conspicuous bruise on her forehead. It is exactly the same as what Yao Mantun saw at the entrance of the village ten minutes ago.
Buzz!
When they heard this, Ding Qiunan, Zhou Shuqing and Huang Xiaohua all felt that the temperature in the room dropped by more than ten degrees. It was so cold!
I have goosebumps all over my body.
The fourth child also shuddered, glanced left and right, and then moved slightly closer to his elder brother.
Only Zhou Qingxian and the others didn’t understand it very well.
Although the text is very simple and easy to understand, they are only three or four-year-old children after all. What can they understand?
"Yao Mantun lowered his head and looked at the four candies in his hand. Then he saw that the village chief's youngest son was holding half of another candy in his mouth and running happily."
"Aunt Yao loves her little grandson the most, Yao Mantun thought while holding the candy in his hand."
After saying that, Zhou Jimin looked at Lao Si and continued:
"This is a very small and short story. It just tells that after Yao Mantun came back from the city, he saw a person dead in the village and connected it with the horn candy. That's all."
"Divergent thinking is to rely on some people and things that you have seen or happened in your daily life. Whether they are related or not, you can piece them together..."
"When you accumulate more in the future and have more life experiences, you will slowly understand."
The fourth child is obviously still immersed in the story and his thoughts are wandering.
Ding Qiunan and the others are no longer so afraid.
The story is very simple, if only to put it simply, it is that after Yao Mantun came back from the city, he learned that Aunt Yao of the village chief’s family had passed away.
However, after Zhou Jimin's processing, the storytelling and readability have become much richer.
However, Zhou Qingxian suddenly asked at this time:
"Dad, why are Aunt Yao's photos placed in the mourning hall? Can my photos be placed in the mourning hall in the future?"
How naive are human cubs to say such ignorant and fearless words?
Snap!
When everyone was laughing, Zhou Jimin slapped the little guy on the butt:
"Don't say that again, do you hear me?"
My butt hurts a little, but compared to this pain, Zhou Qingxian feels even more aggrieved. Why can't she say it?
She rubbed her little butt with her little hands, then raised her head and asked her father, why?
"Why? Didn't you listen carefully to the story just now?"
After looking at Xiao Yi and Xiao Doan who were gloating about their misfortune, Zhou Jimin also slapped the twins on their butts respectively. This time, it was fair.
"And you two siblings, please listen carefully and don't talk nonsense."
"In the story Dad just told, Aunt Yao's photo is placed in the center of the mourning hall because Aunt Yao is dead and her family is paying her farewell and paying homage."
"Also, Yao Mantun, who I just mentioned, saw someone throwing down some wheat husks at the intersection and making a circle with cigarette ashes."
"This is a ritual handed down in the village when someone dies in the village. Food is brought to the deceased, and soot is used to prevent the deceased from returning to the village and to carry the food forward."
"These are just some folk customs before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's enough for you to know. Don't worry about them. Do you understand?"
Even if you don’t understand, you have to understand.
Seeing the three little guys nodding their heads obediently, but looking a little aggrieved, Zhou Jimin felt funny.
After the story was finished, Zhou Jimin drove them to bed.
However, the three little guys said they were too scared to go back to their room to sleep and wanted to stay with their father.
Yes, Zhou Jimin knew that this must be the case, so he had no choice but to give Ding Qiunan a helpless look.
The latter glared back coquettishly, meaning that if you dare not sleep with me, you can do it yourself.
After all, if Zhou Jimin went next door to sleep with the children, then she would be alone in the empty room.
Then she definitely won’t do it!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
So when it's time to go to bed, the family sleeps directly on a big bed.
Fortunately, the bed is big enough and the little ones are small enough.
The happiest person is not the three older ones, Zhou Qingxian, but the little guy Zhou Bingliang who is the most noisy and refuses to sleep.
Because he is the youngest in the family and is not yet one year old, he usually sleeps in his crib by himself.
Today, with his parents and brothers and sisters with him, he must have a falling out before he can do it.
"Xiao Liang, lie down and go to sleep quickly. You are not allowed to talk anymore, do you hear me?"
I heard it, but as soon as I sat down, the little guy started playing with the little one again.
It wasn't until he saw his father's big slap that he calmed down.
However, the big eyes are still rolling.
The two adults were on each side, and the four children were lying in the middle, but they were all covered with their own quilts.
Zhou Jimin was afraid that they would kick the quilt randomly again, so he arranged for them all to make rice dumplings and wrapped them all in quilts.
In this case, it would be difficult for them to move around.
After the children fell asleep, the two adults quietly left and went to the next room.
It took more than two hours before the two people came back after finishing their work.
The night was dark and calm, lonely and speechless, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day.
He also got up early in the morning and went out. Before Zhou Jimin walked out of the house, he paid special attention to the area near the door of his house.
Sure enough, under the thermal imaging camera, near an alley a hundred meters away, under the cover of a trash can, there was a person hiding inside.
Damn it, if Zhou Jimin hadn't been alert, he wouldn't have noticed this bastard.
After all, at dusk, there are only faint stars scattered around the world. What can be seen clearly with this light?
Not to mention that people are hundreds of meters apart and are still hidden in trash cans. How can you observe them?
"If I don't catch you, the rat, today, labor and management will take your last name!"
Zhou Jimin will never be lenient to those who dare to peek at him.
He did not take action immediately, but went back and wrote a small note to Ding Qiunan, saying that he might have something to do today and would come back at noon or afternoon, and then quietly climbed out of the wall on the other side.
.
After waiting in the alley and confirming that there was no one around him, he hurriedly stepped into the space.
A few minutes later, he had completely changed.
Then, he followed the shadow and quietly groped towards the trash can.
After finding a hidden corner where he could clearly see the corner of the trash can, Zhou Jimin began to squat there.
When it comes to patience, he certainly has it in abundance.
Moreover, Zhou Jimin didn’t think that the other party could stay in the trash can for a day.
It's almost dawn now, and this mouse definitely doesn't dare to stay any longer when it's daylight.
However, it’s time for a slap in the face.
The other party was really so confident that until it was already dawn and there were already people on the street, this person hadn't left yet.
Zhou Jimin walked back and forth in this alley twice and almost exposed himself before he saw someone putting the trash can on a cart and taking it away.
Damn it!
Zhou Jimin never expected that the person covering up this mouse would be the old man sweeping the floor.
Sure enough, your uncle is still your uncle, awesome!
Immediately, Zhou Jimin stopped wandering around and followed closely.
Tracking the old man sweeping the floor requires a lot of skills.
Because the uncle must be very familiar with the place he often cleans. He can estimate clearly what time people come and how many people there are.
Therefore, we cannot be careless and lose Jingzhou.
Go all the way north along the street, then go west at the intersection of three streets.
After walking for more than two kilometers, we arrived at a garbage station.
There are very few people at the garbage station at this time.
Zhou Jimin stood at the door of the garbage station and looked far away, staring at the people in the garbage can.
After the old man pulled the cart back, he went to get some water and rest for a while.
At this moment, the mouse in the trash can suddenly came out.
Seeing how sneaky the other party was, Zhou Jimin knew that this rat had nothing to do with the old man.
However, Zhou Jimin will definitely not miss this opportunity, and he will definitely ask Lao Xing and others to investigate afterwards.
It had only been more than ten years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it was normal for there to be rats that had not yet been dealt with.
Especially the sweepers walking through the streets and alleys. There are too many people, and the investigation work is too big.
In addition, the three-year famine has just ended, and the rampant rats are really helpless.
Of course, cleaning work is the main responsibility of Lao Xing and others, and Zhou Jimin only targets the rats who are his enemies.
The mouse that came out of the trash can was also dressed like an old man sweeping the floor.
It’s just that this guy quickly changed his clothes after leaving the garbage station.
Zhou Jimin, who was lagging far behind, kept staring at the other party, not daring to relax for fear of being accidentally discovered by the other party or losing track of him.
This mouse is still very cautious and careful.
He took Zhou Jimin for a few rounds, and even queued up at the breakfast shop to buy some large steamed buns and bean juice, and then walked slowly to his own residence.
Through observation, the relationship between this mouse and its neighbors is quite good. I don’t know if it is a deliberately created illusion.
Seeing the other party enter an alley, Zhou Jimin stopped following him.
People usually live in alleys, and most of them are acquaintances. If he followed them carelessly, he was destined to be discovered.
After waiting for the mouse to enter for a few minutes, Zhou Jimin changed into the uniform of the armband team leader again, with the penis on his waist, and then walked in.
The armband team is also a type of people who will not be noticed by others, just like the sweepers.
There are not many armband teams in the whole capital.
Zhou Jimin was running, so he arrived nearby before the mouse entered the courtyard.
When he saw Zhou Jimin, the mouse was so frightened that he thought he had been exposed.
"Hello, comrade, did you see any stranger passing by the alley just now?"
With a business-like attitude and a slightly anxious tone, Zhou Jimin's question made the mouse feel a little relieved.
"Hello, comrade, I didn't see anyone passing by. They were all neighbors, no strangers."
Mouse Heart said, if a stranger is being investigated, do you count yourself?
"Thank you!"
After that, Zhou Jimin ran away.
After a brief conversation, the other party's expression and reaction allowed Zhou Jimin to basically determine that the mouse in front of him had settled in this yard.
That's easy.
Running out of the other end of the alley, Zhou Jimin didn't even change his clothes. When he saw the supply and marketing cooperative not far away, he ran over to make a phone call without saying anything.
"Comrade, make a phone call, this is money!"
A fifty-cent note was placed on the table. Zhou Jimin directly picked up the phone and called Xing Yicheng's home.
Soon, the phone was picked up, and the voice was that of a little girl. Without asking, you knew it was the little guy Xing Anyao.
"Hello, I'm looking for Xing Yicheng. Is he at home?"
He didn't have time to talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
Xing Anyao opposite was also very sensible and immediately said that her father had gone to work and asked him to call the office.
Snap!
The call was hung up. Xing Anyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly forgot about it and ran to tell her mother that she was looking for her father.
After the home telephones are installed, most of them are used by Lao Xing, which is equivalent to office telephones.
The phone number of Lao Xing's office was quickly dialed by Zhou Jimin, and this time he directly contacted Lao Xing himself.
"What? You caught another mouse?"
When Xing Yicheng heard that the call was from Zhou Jimin, he wanted to say a few words. Unexpectedly, he heard Zhou Jimin say that he had caught a mouse.
But he was stunned!
Since when did mice become so easy to catch?
During the period before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, rats were very rampant.
But even so, there is no one like Zhou Jimin who catches mice every now and then, and he still raids all the mice's nests in one go.
This isn’t about catching mice, it’s about raiding homes and killing people!
How cruel!
"I'll bring someone over right away, soon!"
The phone was hung up and Zhou Jimin smiled.
Just now he hung up on Lao Xing's daughter, and now Lao Xing calls him back. It's like reincarnation.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Jimin went directly to the entrance of the alley to squat.
As long as the mouse is still inside, it will never escape!
After a while, several jeeps roared from a distance and soon arrived in front of Zhou Jimin.
Lei Yuankai was the first to jump out of the car and punched Zhou Jimin on the shoulder:
"I asked the Zhou University educator, can you leave us a way to survive? You can catch mice every time you come back. I suspect that you are clairvoyant and have ears for the wind. All mice can't hide in front of you. When you meet a
If you catch one, no one can escape."
"You are a teacher at Peking University, specializing in education and scientific research. Why don't you come over and lead the team, so that I can get some credit along with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Yuankai's neck was pinched by Lao Xing's big palm:
"Xiao Kai, what did you just say? Say it again?"
"No, I didn't say anything." Lei Yuankai was immediately frightened.
Fu Yujie and the others suddenly burst into laughter. Zhou Jimin followed suit and said to Lao Xing:
"Old Xing, I have to trouble you again today. The mouse should still be at home. He just bought breakfast and returned home twenty-three minutes ago."
"My opinion is to catch it now, there is no need to put in a long line to catch big fish."
Judging from past experience, this trick is of little use.
Moreover, the current environment has become better. I believe that those mice have become sick mice and will not cause trouble again.
After all, a lifetime is only a few decades, and the shortest incubation time of these mice is more than ten years.
Do you really think you still have a chance?
Just kidding!
Xing Yicheng nodded and agreed with Zhou Jimin's suggestion.
Then he asked Zhou Jimin to assign a task, and he must catch the mouse.
The latter did not delay, after all, he knew the situation in the neighborhood best, and he was the only one who knew the mouse’s address best.
"Okay, time is running out, I'm sorry."
To be polite, Zhou Jimin took out a hand-drawn drawing, which clearly showed the shape of a mouse. The drawing was very clear, just like the photo.
"Everyone knows clearly that this person is a mouse. He is 1.75 meters tall and weighs about 158 kilograms. The error is not more than half a kilogram."
"A very ordinary mouse, but don't be blinded by his ordinary appearance. This person is very cunning..."
Immediately, he changed another hand-drawn sketch, and it was the image of another person.
The second picture is an image of an old man with his clothes changed.
Lei Yuankai, Fu Yujie and others were all shocked, but they were not shocked by the change in the mouse's image, but were shocked by Zhou Jimin's incredible handwriting.
Not to mention anything else, just in this short period of time, I can draw two consecutive hand-drawn sketches and bring the image of a mouse to life on the paper. This ability is amazing!
Xing Yicheng slapped him over and told Lei Yuankai, Fu Yujie and others to listen carefully and not to be in a daze.
"Four people are left at the entrance of the alleys on both sides to be alert to the situation on the two streets." Zhou Jimin continued, "The others followed me in to arrest people."
After the task was assigned, Xing Yicheng directly assigned eight people to stay, and the rest followed in.
Most of the courtyards in the capital are courtyards, especially those in the east and west cities near the Forbidden City. They are basically courtyards of different sizes and well-proportioned.
Compared with before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the current courtyard should be called a large courtyard.
Just like the Wutongshu courtyard, Nanluoguxiang courtyard, etc., and the courtyard in front of you are all representatives of the courtyard.
Since it is a large courtyard, chaos is normal.
However, no matter how chaotic it is, it’s okay. After Zhou Jimin and the others come in, they will go straight to the mouse’s house.
The mouse, who was eating steamed buns, saw Zhou Jimin and others coming in through the window. He instantly realized that he had been exposed and ran away immediately.
In the house behind Mouse's house, there is an underground secret passage leading outside. As long as he enters this secret passage, he will definitely be able to escape.
However, he underestimated Zhou Jimin's speed and overestimated his own reaction speed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When he just opened the entrance to the underground passage, Zhou Jimin had already broken through the door and entered.
Seeing that the other party was about to get into the underground tunnel, without saying a word, he pulled the trigger in his hand, and the bullet instantly hit the other party's calf.
Two bullets passed by, and both legs were immediately disabled. It was already too late to run away.
The mouse with blood bleeding from the corner of its mouth, its face full of pain and paleness, stared at Zhou Jimin and smiled miserably, and wanted to bite its tongue to commit suicide, but Zhou Jimin came over quickly and removed the mouse's jaw.
"Quick, search every corner, don't let go of any clues."
Lao Xing was not slow and rushed in.
Lei Yuankai and the others also filed in and quickly searched every place in the room.
Zhou Jimin glanced at it and pointed to the underground passage.
The two big-headed soldiers got right in and quickly disappeared.
"Old Xing, it seems there is only one mouse here. It's a bit of a waste of resources to send out so many people today. If I had known this, I would have caught him myself."
Xing Yicheng laughed and said, "What a beautiful idea. Every time you take the credit alone, we all become negative examples."
"What is a mouse afraid of? No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat."
After chatting for a few words, the team was quickly dismissed.
In fact, there is only one mouse, but it is very fat.
Lei Yuankai and the others found two boxes of gold from Mouse's house, weighing tens of kilograms. They were really rich.
Correspondence, code books, etc., as well as several pass certificates, letters of introduction, etc.
It can be said that this mouse has basically preserved all the evidence.
After seeing these things, Zhou Jimin didn't know whether to call this rat ignorant or fearless or too confident.
But I guess it’s mostly the latter.
Otherwise, which mouse would be so foolish as to store these things at home?
Is it to implement the code of conduct that the most dangerous place is the safest?
How clever!
The neighbors in the courtyard are like quails, hiding in front of their homes and watching through the windows.
There are also foolish and bold people who dare to stand at the door of their own homes and look around without any fear.
Seeing Lei Yuankai explaining to his neighbors, Zhou Jimin put away his smile, turned around and left.
He doesn’t need to worry about the follow-up matters, Lao Xing will bring him news.
I hope it's good news, but he doesn't want rats to continue to squat at his door.
When they returned to Nanjianzi Hutong, Ding Qiunan kept looking sad. Although it was not obvious, Zhou Shuqing and the others had somewhat guessed it.
When we were having breakfast just now, Zhou Jimin was not there. Several little ones kept asking where their father was. Ding Qiunan forced a smile and just said that he had gone out and would be back soon.
This made the little ones very dissatisfied, but luckily they didn't cry.
Maybe they are used to the fact that their father always disappears suddenly.
"What's wrong? Are you all listless?"
As soon as he walked into the house, Zhou Jimin noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. Several big dogs had gone somewhere, and Ding Qiunan and the others seemed to have no energy to work.
"Ah, Dad, Dad is back."
Zhou Qingyi, who was squatting at the door, saw her father for the first time. Her face suddenly turned cloudy and she turned toward her father.
Zhou Qingxian, the little ones also saw it, and they rushed over happily, and soon they hugged their father.
Ding Qiunan and the others also raised the corners of their mouths slightly. As long as Zhou Jimin is here, there will be no shortage of laughter in this family.
"Where have the little goldfish gone? Where are Wangcai and the others?"
"They went out to play and came to see you."
Hearing Zhou Shuqing's words, Zhou Jimin smiled silently, "Why are they looking for me? Where have I gone? How can they find me? I don't even know where I'm going. Xiaoqing, don't let them do such stupid things next time.
Did you hear that?"
His affairs are complicated and numerous, and they are simply not something that Little Goldfish and the others can contact.
That is to say, they all followed Wangcai, otherwise, he would still have to worry about them.
Zhou Shuqing nodded and asked slightly worriedly:
"Brother, how many jobs do you have? Why do you always feel like you need help with everything?"
This question was also what Ding Qiunan wanted to ask. Although Huang Xiaohua was very curious, she still picked up the flour and prepared to get up and leave.
"Xiaohua, why are you going?"
"Ah, I'll go outside and knead the dough."
"It's not cold. Just knead dough here. It's just chatting. There's nothing you can't hear."
Zhou Jimin is not stupid. He is very clear about what should be said and what should not be said.
He never tests people's hearts because they can't be tested.
When Huang Xiaohua heard this, she smiled happily and sat down again.
Then I heard Zhou Jimin talk about work. It was very simple. There were four jobs in total.
Two technical consultant jobs at Red Star Company and Northeast Automobile Company, teacher at Peking University and confidential scientific research work.
A job at Northeastern Automobile Company is actually a piece of candy that cannot be thrown away.
Every time Zhou Jimin wanted to quit his job, but Liu Jianming told him, the boss wouldn't let him!
Lu Jiyi even called several times, saying that he should not quit his job and that Northeast Automobile Company needed his technical guidance.
He did provide technical guidance, but it was all on paper. He has never been to Northeast China since that business trip in 1960.
I was fooled once, and there will never be a second time.
"Brother Zhou, you are so awesome."
After listening, Huang Xiaohua said with sincere admiration.
A person can hold multiple jobs and still handle them with ease. He is indeed not an ordinary person.
In fact, in future generations, who is not a slanting young man?
Zhou Jimin's current income is a fraction of that of the top elites of later generations.
Before Zhou Jimin could say anything, someone knocked on the door, and the little boy ran out.
Not long after, I saw Huang Zhaodi and the other sisters walking in happily.
As soon as they arrived, the production of new year goods sped up a lot.
Needless to say, Huang Xiaohua and her sisters are experts at doing housework. They are efficient and fast, ensuring quality and quantity.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, the little goldfish and the others also came back, followed closely by the third and fourth children.
After everyone came back, Zhou Jimin repeated what he had just said, telling them not to go out to look for him in the future.
The little goldfish just nodded, indicating that he understood, and then joined in making new year's goods.
Fried sugar horns require dexterity to shape nicely, just like dumplings.
In this regard, the little goldfish is a few steps ahead of the two sisters Pandi and Laidi.
As for Zhou Qingxian and the other little ones, they are just making trouble. If they can be wrapped well and don't leak when fried, they are already very good.
However, they loved to play, and Zhou Jimin didn't stop them. Anyway, he would let them eat the fried candy corners they made by themselves.
Put it together with the fried candy cakes prepared by Huang Xiaohua and others, the contrast is very sharp.
"Dad, when I make fried rice dumplings later, I will definitely make the most beautiful one."
After staring at the fried candy corner for a while, Zhou Qingxian refused to admit defeat, put her little hands on her hips, and said loudly to her father.
Her mother immediately laughed and scolded: "Youzi is so simple, it's just a small ball. Of course you can make it well, even Xiaoliang can do it well."
"Hmph, I don't like mom anymore. Dad, let's go make fried rice dumplings."
When the little guy heard this, his face dropped, he snorted, and ran away.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely cheerful.
Time is speechless and flies by.
The fragrance spread throughout the house, but no neighbors said anything today.
Because today is New Year's Eve, every household has prepared sumptuous meals, and there is also the smell of firecrackers, which dilutes the fragrance of the food. If you don't get closer, you really can't smell it.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Qingxian and the other little guys started taking a bath, because this way they could wear new clothes and new hats.
However, the little boy had just changed into new clothes and when he ran to find his aunt Dese, he accidentally fell and the new clothes were dirty.
Wow, the little guy cried so sadly.
The new clothes that I have been waiting for for a long time, and I only looked handsome for a few minutes, met with this misfortune, how pitiful.
I just don’t know if the little guy is crying about his new clothes or because his hand hurts after falling.
"Haha, this kind of childhood is complete."
When Zhou Jimin saw his child falling down, his first reaction was to laugh:
"Don't cry, little one, get up quickly. In the past, wrestling during the New Year was a good thing. It was said that one fall would bring wealth, and two somersaults would be a sign of great wealth."
"So, stop crying and go find your mother to change clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little one got up and asked with tears in his eyes:
"Dad, does falling two somersaults mean a sign of wealth?"
I don’t understand the others, but I can understand this sentence.
Zhou Jimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily:
"If you dare to fall again, I will let you fall for a whole day without stopping for a moment."
Ga!
The little one, who was still thinking about falling down for the second time, ran away quickly.
There was still a bit of resentment in his heart, and he knew his father was coaxing him to play.
The little goldfish behind them, Zhou Shuqing and the others laughed loudly, while Ding Qiunan in the room gave Zhou Jimin a blank look and taught the children a bad lesson.
With the new year and new atmosphere, the Zhou family has replaced new peach charms, door couplets, and red lanterns.
Lanterns were lit, firecrackers were lit, and 1963 arrived as promised.
"Wow, what a beautiful sunset."
It's almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner, but the dark cloudy sky suddenly turns into a sky full of colorful clouds. This orange-yellow color is very beautiful.
The little goldfish’s exclamation attracted everyone’s attention.
In the yard, three little guys quietly raised their heads and looked at the sky.
At the door, Zhou Jimin took out an old-fashioned camera at some point, found the angle, clicked it, and recorded the scene.
The sky was so picturesque that after taking the photo, Zhou Jimin also looked up to admire it.
There was moderate snow last night, and it was cloudy in the morning.
It's sunset now, so it's likely to be sunny tomorrow.
It’s just that there is no weather forecast now. Although the weather forecast is not very accurate, we can still get a rough idea.
"It's time to eat."
The firecrackers have already been set off, so after enjoying the sunset, it’s time to have New Year’s Eve dinner.
The New Year’s Eve dinner at home is always the most sumptuous, and it will be the same this year.
As the head of the family, Zhou Jimin said a few words of blessing, and the New Year's Eve dinner officially began.
The fragrance of rice overflows in the house and we share it together, and the lights of thousands of houses outside tell a long story.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the little goldfish took Xiaoxian and the others out to play with firecrackers, and the third and fourth children also went out together.
The two brothers each share a hobby. On weekdays, if they have nothing to do, they would go back to their room to do their own thing.
"Aren't you going to look at them?"
Inside the house, Zhou Jimin and Ge You were lying in a slumber.
Hearing Ding Qiunan's words, he didn't open his eyes, "Why don't you take some time off? I want to be quiet."
"Tired? Let me press it for you."
A gentle and kind wife, very considerate. What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
While she was massaging him, Zhou Jimin said again: "Why don't you ask me who Jingjing is?"
Huh?
Ding Qiunan was obviously stunned and didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.
"Let me tell you a joke. The couple had a quarrel. My husband told me not to bother me anymore. I want to be quiet."
"When his wife heard this, she got angry and asked who Jingjing is? Why do you miss her? What kind of vixen is she? Do you not have me in your heart?"
"My husband was very confused and quickly explained that I just wanted to have some peace and quiet. Why are you making such a fuss? Are you being unreasonable?"
Pfft!
After hearing what he said, Ding Qiunan smiled instantly, stretched out his hand to pat him, and said he knew how to coax me with sweet words.
"You are my wife, if I don't coax you, who will coax you?"
"Meeting you is truly the greatest happiness in my life."
Zhou Shuqing walked into the house and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, can you stop being so greasy? I'm getting goosebumps."
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he suddenly sat up, looked at her with interest, and said:
"Xiao Qing, after the Chinese New Year, you are now eighteen years old. You have been working in Red Star Company for half a year. Have you met a boy you like? Tell me. If you are shy, you can tell your sister-in-law that you need it when the time comes.
I'll be the matchmaker and I'll handle it."
With a swish, Zhou Shuqing's face turned red.
She glared at her elder brother and said angrily: "Brother, you really don't know what to do. I don't want to get married yet, so why get married so early? I still want to be free for a few more years."
"When you reach the age, when you meet the person you like, it's time to get married. Don't keep waiting and waiting, choosing and choosing. What should you do if you are spoiled for choice?" Zhou Jimin said earnestly.
"When you are young, you always think that there is a better one waiting for you. Only when you are old will you realize that you are not as good as the person you laid eyes on for the first time."
This can be considered a rule of thumb, but young people are naturally disgusted with paternalistic pressure to get married.
Therefore, Zhou Shuqing just listened, and then went in one ear and out the other, not listening at all.
Ding Qiunan on the side pulled Zhou Jimin so that he stopped urging the marriage.
In fact, if you think about it from another person’s perspective, which young person doesn’t feel that he is the second boss and the third boss?
No one is good enough for you, and it’s normal to have such thoughts.
"Brother, it's the New Year. I don't want to have these worries. I just want to start over."
"Xiaoqing, have you ever heard of a saying? In the new year, there will be new worries."
"No, I haven't heard of it, and I don't want to hear it."
Seeing that her eldest brother wanted to continue talking, Zhou Shuqing quickly said to her sister-in-law:
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and take care of my brother. Really, if you don't let me have some peace and quiet during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I didn't pick this little sister up, right?"
Ding Qiunan looked at the two brothers and sisters funny and said nothing.
After a while, the little goldfish and the others came back, laughing and joking, and the house became lively again.
If you have a few more brats, you won’t be able to calm down.
Unless they are all asleep, that is impossible.
The fun lasted until midnight, the little kids fell asleep, and there was no movement outside the door. I can finally live a peaceful life this year.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xing Yicheng came to the Zhou family.
Brought news that the mouse caught on New Year’s Eve is gone.
Everything was explained clearly, and Fu Yujie thought that the other party was very cooperative, so he didn't pay attention, and the mouse bit his tongue and committed suicide.
A lot of information has been dug up, but Lei Yuankai and the others are still working.
Lao Xing himself didn't stay long. After saying that, he left and left his daughter at Zhou's house again. I don't know if he has always been so forgetful.
"Why is Lao Xing looking for you again?"
As soon as Lao Xing left, Ding Qiunan came over to the study. This was not out of curiosity, but because he was worried about Zhou Jimin, or worried that he would be called to work by Lao Xing again.
This is a criminal record, and more than once.
"It's nothing, just a casual chat, don't worry."
Zhou Jimin smiled and immediately changed the subject so that she could not continue to think wildly.
Except for him, no one else in the family knew about the mice.
"By the way, Zhao Di is here, why don't you go say hello to her?"
Ding Qiunan, who was interrupted, rolled his eyes, thought of something again, and said quickly.
Now is the Chinese New Year period, which is the best time to visit relatives and friends.
"Isn't Zhaodi at home all the time? Why is she here again?" Zhou Jimin asked strangely, not realizing that Ding Qiunan was talking about another Zhaodi.
Ding Qiunan covered her mouth in a funny way, "I'm talking about Xiaoxian's wet nurse. Her surname is Fan, not Xiaohua's sister."
The name Zhaodi was the most popular name before the millennium.
Throughout the country, there are not only 100,000, but 70,000 or 80,000 names with similar names, such as Niandi, Pandi, Yindi, etc., just Huang Xiaohua’s sister, they all have this Di!
"Oh, it's her." Zhou Jimin frowned, "Did she come alone, or was there someone else with her?"
"She came here with Li Meifeng, what's wrong?" Ding Qiunan didn't understand why he suddenly became angry, and thought he didn't want to see Fan Zhaodi.
"I seem to have said, don't let Li Meifeng see Xiaoxian, right? She is not welcome in our family."
Before the Chinese New Year last year, he had warned Xiaoxian. She should still remember it, but Ding Qiunan had forgotten it.
From the few meetings, Zhou Jimin already knew that Li Meifeng was actually Xiaoxian's biological mother.
For such a mother, he was extremely disdainful of her abandonment of Xiaoxian. No matter what reasons she had, she should not have done so.
"Why?"
Seeing Ding Qiunan's face full of doubts and confusion, Zhou Jimin had no choice but to mention the matter again and tell her what he had seen and guessed before.
"What? Are you sure?" Ding Qiunan said with surprise on his face.
After reacting, he quickly covered his mouth, but the shock in his eyes could not be concealed.
"No need to be sure. Although what I just said is my own guess, think about it for yourself. Apart from this explanation, are there any other possibilities?"
This is indeed the case. Who cares about a little kid every day?
Although it is difficult to have children in this era, Li Meifeng is a woman herself and looks not bad. Is it difficult to have children?
Zhou Jimin doesn't want to know about Li Meifeng. As long as she doesn't bother Xiaoxian, he won't bother to talk to her.
Ding Qiunan can't bear it, because she is also a mother, so she naturally knows and understands Li Meifeng's thoughts better.
But seeing Zhou Jimin's expression, she had no choice but to hold back.
In the living room, Fan Zhaodi was holding Zhou Qingxian and having a childish conversation, while Li Meifeng next to her looked at the child tenderly.
Zhou Qingyi and Xiao Doan, who were leaning next to them, were not so popular, which made the two little guys a little frustrated.
Just when they saw their parents coming in, the two little guys ran over and asked, "Dad, do you like me?"
Holding her father's neck, Zhou Qingyi asked in a low voice.
"You are daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. Of course daddy likes it. What's wrong?"
"But I don't seem to be as popular as my sister. Dad, am I not as beautiful as my sister?"
Snap!
After gently patting her butt, Zhou Jimin said with a smile: "Don't compare like this, understand? You are both daddy's favorite babies, and you are both equally cute and beautiful. Do you understand?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After saying that, he looked at Ding Qiunan, and she nodded, indicating that she understood.
Although Zhou Qingyi is still very young, because Li Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi like Zhou Qingxian more than she and the little one, it is normal to be jealous.
Children just want to win and be equal.
As soon as she saw Zhou Jimin coming in, Li Meifeng stood up in shock, seeming to be very afraid of him.
He didn't look at Li Meifeng, he just said hello to Fan Zhaodi, exchanged a few words, and left on the pretext of being there beforehand.
It would be better if Ding Qiunan handles the rest.
An hour and a half later, Zhou Jimin came back and did not see Li Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi.
In this regard, he did not pay attention to any further follow-up. Anyway, he believed that Ding Qiunan would handle this kind of thing.
As for the impact of Li Meifeng and Fan Zhaodi, it passed quickly.
As the fifth day of the Lunar New Year passes, the spirit of the New Year gradually dissipates.
However, for Zhou Qingxian and others, this year has not yet passed.
During the past few days during the Chinese New Year, their sister-in-law took them to set off firecrackers and blow up the nearby river every day, and they had a great time.
The red envelopes given by their father were probably thrown into the supply and marketing cooperative to buy firecrackers.
Just after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jimin asked the little goldfish to stop playing with the children, and at the same time, he had to check his winter vacation homework.
Upon hearing this, the little goldfish exploded immediately.
Because she hasn’t moved at all, her winter vacation homework has been put in her schoolbag since the holiday began.
As for the schoolbag, she put it directly in the cabinet and stored it, without letting it have a chance to see the light of day again.
"Brother, you remembered wrongly, I don't have any winter vacation homework."
She lies without blinking an eye and tries her best to quibble.
"It doesn't matter, I can give you the questions now. Anyway, the homework for the fourth grade of elementary school is very simple."
Last August, Zhou Jimin gave them questions so that Little Goldfish and Pandi Laidi could skip from second grade to fourth grade.
Ga!
The little goldfish was dumbfounded. Brother, can you be a human being?
Compared to the winter vacation homework, the questions her eldest brother gave were more difficult, there was no doubt about it.
If that's the case, she might as well go and write her winter vacation homework quickly.
Looking at the shocked expression of the little goldfish, Zhou Jimin said with a smile:
"Now that I think about it, have you done any homework during the winter vacation?"
"I remembered, brother, I'm going to do my homework."
After leaving these words, the little goldfish ran away in a flash.
Behind them, everyone laughed.
The third and fourth children are quite honest, and they have not cheated or cheated. They have finished their winter vacation homework long ago.
Speaking of which, the little goldfish was spoiled by her big brother, so if she can be lazy, she will definitely not miss the opportunity.
On the contrary, the third and fourth children are more sensible and don't want their eldest brother to have to worry about this.
The two sisters Pandi and Laidi also finished their homework. The little goldfish still wanted to copy the homework, but her elder brother found out.
She had no choice but to grimace and stay alone in her room doing her homework.
Zhou Qingxian is still young, but when she heard about the winter vacation homework, she was also curious to take a look.
She wanted to read her homework, and Zhou Qingyi and Xiao Doian naturally wanted to read it too.
"Since you all like to watch it so much, fine, no problem, I'll teach you."
There is no early childhood education now, and it relies more on the influence of parents and the surrounding environment.
In the Zhou family, Ding Qiunan often reads story books to them, practices calligraphy, and studies, but they haven't started yet.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin, a teacher from Peking University, provides enlightenment education to his children.
With this kind of treatment, if they don’t get into Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future, they will be sorry for their father.
The three children sat down happily, using the living room as a temporary classroom and the small stools and tables they usually used to eat as desks.
Zhou Jimin got a blackboard from nowhere and hung it on the wall, with many pinyin and Chinese characters written on it.
Then they listened to their father teach them how to read and practice pronunciation.
Although Beijing accent is Mandarin, there are some differences.
This needs to be corrected.
To this end, Zhou Jimin also made a special trip to space to practice standard Mandarin pronunciation.
That is the legendary broadcasting tone!
This kind of tone is different from usual speaking. The broadcasting tone is obviously more official and formal, and it also sounds better.
Both father and daughter were keen on studying. It had only been two days before Ding Qiunan curiously said to Zhou Jimin:
"Jimin, it's the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, don't you have to go to work?"
