Raising Babies in the 70s

"It's alright, darling, dumplings don't cry anymore." Qin Rou picked up the little guy to coax him, this little cry made dumplings, crying with red eyes, just like a little rabbit, The baby's fat little white face looks soft and easy to bully.

Qin Rou thought to herself, your father looks like "I am very righteous and inviolable", but how can a young cub who looks like his father look so soft and cute?

She looked at her brother Zhouzhou again, the same eyebrows, a small baby face, a high nose, red and moist lips, a pair of eyes that are particularly beautiful, the most beautiful when there is no expression on the face Like his father Lu Yan, even with baby fat, he can still see how handsome he will look in the future.

—Monkeys also read dishes.

Pick the persimmon softly.

Although Zhouzhou and Jiaozi look exactly the same in appearance, they are slightly different in character, especially after they go to kindergarten and meet other children, they are obviously different.

, Zhouzhou has also begun to learn to take care of his younger brother. Although his younger brother is not much younger than him, he is also a compatriot's younger brother.

What about my younger brother, Dumpling, his personality is softer and better to pinch, but he is very playful, soft, and likes to act like a spoiled child. , not only act like a spoiled child with parents, but also like to act like a spoiled child with his own brother Zhouzhou in private in the small room of the two brothers.

Qin Rou once overheard the soft and sticky little dumplings and said to his brother, "Hey, I want to be a boat."

“Bee…”

Dare to make unreasonable demands face to face, and the elder brother Zhouzhou will also spoil him. This is the reason why the little dumpling occasionally wears the elder brother's bracelet, which is all earned by acting like a spoiled child.

Little Dumpling likes to pretend to be a brother very much, and in kindergarten, he likes to let other children call him Brother Lu, maybe because he is always a brother at home, even if he is only a little over two years old, there is a kind of desire to be a brother of obsession.

Although I have ambitions to be a brother, my younger brother is my younger brother.

"Okay, stop crying."

Qin Rou kissed the little brat and put him beside her brother Zhouzhou, and her brother Zhouzhou, who was also a little dwarf, went up to hug him, and patted him like a mother On his back, little hands wiped his tears.

“Bee…”

"The boat is for you."

"Dumplings don't snatch." Little Dumpling hugged his elder brother. There was basically no difference in their height and body shape.

Little Dumpling hugged her brother hard, trying to pick him up, Zhouzhou also hugged him backhand, and the two little cubs made a fight.

Qin Rou suddenly felt very relieved when she saw the appearance of their two brothers and sisters.

Stayed at my sister's house for dinner at noon. The salted mackerel was steamed on rice and it was very fragrant. Several children liked it very much. Afterwards, he silently leaned towards his mother.

The brothers had written rejection all over their faces.

Qin Rou smiled softly at the corner of her mouth when she saw the two of them. She didn't force them to eat. I just don't know why the two cubs don't like to eat.

Brother-in-law Chen Mian was chatting with the helpers in the village, talking about the harvest in the past two years, in the countryside it depends on the weather, of course, because of the geographical environment of Qiongzhou Island, even if Lazily do not farm the land, but also eat coconuts and mangoes from the sky, not to mention there are fish in the sea, and the tide will bring small seafood from the tidal flats...

Neither use fertilizers properly nor pay attention to them.

Working casually, the use of chemical fertilizers is very careless. In addition, for the harvest of private plots, some fertilizers are just spread, and some people carry the soil to their private plots.

These are part of the reason why food production is not so high.

The captain of Dajiao Village plans to fertilize the grain well this year and use new seeds. He also asks Chen Mian, who understands cultural knowledge, to help. Later, some fields in the village will be planted with new types of crops. hybrid rice.

"Eat well, and sit down for the dumplings."

The brothers Zhou Zhou and Dumpling sat on the bench and ate honestly. Although the brothers were a bit picky eaters and didn’t eat radishes, they also ate well when they ate. After all, they were two small rice buckets, especially edible .

The two sat in the middle, and the two little guys were a little rebellious at this time, especially the dumplings. They just didn't believe their mother's words and liked to sit in the air on the side.

“Pop—”

After Xia Mingxi and his elder brother Zhouzhou stood up, the little dumpling fell to the ground and the rice bowl fell. Fortunately, the rice in the bowl was all eaten.

It's just that her little **** was pierced.

"Mom..." The little guy looked at his mother aggrieved.

"You know you're going to sit in the middle?"

You idiot.

Qin Rou hugged this little cub in her arms and coaxed, thinking that every time she was hurt, it was always you, a silly little cub.

After the brothers had lunch, they fell asleep hugging each other on the bamboo bed at the sister's house. Qin Rou covered their belly.

Qin Rou also yawned. Sister Qin Mian asked her to rest for a while. At this time, the temperature was still a little high at noon. Taking a nap on a hot day was the most comfortable. Qin Rou also took a nap.

After waking up, Qin Mian tried to teach her how to use the sewing machine, "Just like this...

"Why don't you try."

Qin Rou pointed to herself: "Let me try?"

Try it?

The red rope of her, her facial features are delicate and pleasant, and she is extraordinarily gentle when she smiles.

The young woman holds a book in her hand.

"Is this Mr. Chen's house?"

"I'm an educated youth who just came to the village and my name is Ye Mingxiu."

Qin Mian said a few words to her, and called Qin Rou over, "Amei, come here, the dumpling books are back."

Qin Rou was surprised: "the book that was snatched by the monkey came back?"

"Well." Ye Mingxiu nodded, "The monkeys on the mountain are naughty, and they like to imitate people."

"When we educated youths went down the mountain at noon today, not to mention how interesting it was. On the way, we met a monkey reading a book. Well, this is the one I took. This fat-headed fish is really cute."

"This monkey likes to learn our movements at ordinary times, and sometimes yells at us. It is estimated that Wang Zhiqing is often seen wearing glasses sitting on a stone and reading a book, and it also learns this way."

"You didn't see it with your own eyes, that monkey stole Wang Zhiqing's glasses and grabbed the book from nowhere, and sat on a stone by the roadside, putting on glasses for himself and pretending to be The way she turned the book was so funny, it made everyone laugh out loud."

"This book was just scratched by a monkey for a few pages, and Wang Zhiqing's glasses are miserable. They have to be taken to the city for repair."

The Qin Mian sisters were amused by her description.

Qin Rou took the book in her hand and said, "Thank you, comrade, please send it to me."

Comrade Xiao Qin looked at the baby shark in his hand, and sighed in his heart for a while, but he didn't expect this book to really meet the fantasy adventures and walk away from the hands of wild monkeys on the mountain.

"No trouble, no trouble." Ye Mingxiu smiled and shook her head. She looked at Qin Rou hesitantly, and said, "You are the sister of Teacher Chen's wife."

When she came, she heard from the villagers that this teacher Chen Mian's brother-in-law was serving in the navy on the island.

"Yes, this book was stolen by the monkey from my youngest son." Qin Rou turned her head and pressed her chin to the two little pigs on the bed.

The two little pigs were as sweet as dead pigs when they slept.

Ye Mingxiu glanced at the two little guys on the bamboo bed from a distance, and the smile deepened, "Are these two twins twins?"

"Yeah, they look exactly the same."

"It's so rare, so lucky."

Ye Mingxiu was talking and laughing, Qin Rou saw that she seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated to speak, so she waited for her to speak.

Ye Mingxiu hesitated for a while, and finally began to ask: "Comrade Qin, I wonder if you know a comrade named... Zhao Jianghong."

As she spoke, Ye Mingxiu's face flushed a little, but her eyes flashed and she described in detail: "Zhao Qiansun Li's Zhao, the river of great rivers and rivers, Feihong's Hong who treads snow and mud ."

"He also served in the island navy."

Qin Rou: "???!!!"

Zhao Jianghong? !

"Yes, if I didn't bump the name, this officer Zhao knew my husband and came to my house for dinner."

"He and our old Lu used to be good buddies."

"Really, really?" Ye Mingxiu was very surprised. She didn't expect to ask such a casual question, and she really met someone who knew him, but she inquired about a strange man for no reason. It's really unreasonable, "Oh, I picked up a pen from Comrade Zhao before, and I want to return it to him."

Ye Mingxiu took out a pen, and the three characters of "Zhao Jianghong" were glued on the pen with tape.

"What a coincidence." Qin Rou was surprised.

"Do you know what kind of person this Comrade Zhao is?" Ye Mingxiu asked, blushing.

"Has he been divorced before?"

Seeing her like this, Qin Rou suddenly wondered if her heart was sprouting, and she was a little interested in Zhao Jianghong, but after listening to the questions she asked, she was not familiar with Zhao Jianghong at all, and did not understand his information.

"Yes, he is divorced."

"That's him!" Ye Mingxiu clapped her palm.

"Why, did you have any other contacts before?"

"It's just...surprisingly, we don't know if we are pen pals...one-sided."

Ye Mingxiu was stumbling and didn't know how to describe it.

The relationship between her and Zhao Jianghong is not too big. Now it is popular among educated youth to write letters to make pen pals. Confessing one's feelings is similar to the tree hole of this era.

Ye Mingxiu used to have a friend wall in the post office, and it can't be called a friend wall, but a wall where "small advertisements" can be posted, usually in post offices and train stations. Paste some advertisements on paper, post information about exchanging houses, exchanging jobs, and occasionally making friends.

Ye Mingxiu impulsively left an email address. Of course, she regretted it after leaving it. She went to see the next day and found that the address she had left had been torn up. She also It doesn't matter.

But later, this mailbox really received a letter from a person named "Jiang Shang Feihong".

Ye Mingxiu had read his letter and became interested in him, but every time he sent a letter, he never left his specific information and address, making it impossible for people to find it.

The confidant does not need someone to write back to him.

Although Ye Mingxiu really wanted to reply to his letter, but there was no way, until she came back to Qiongzhou Island to be an educated youth, she accidentally picked up a pen on the way, she found the handwriting on the pen and the letter The handwriting on the pen is the same, and there are military marks on the pen. The names Jiangshang Feihong and Zhao Jianghong are also very similar. Did she really think it was such a coincidence?

This Zhao Jianghong is Feihong on the River.

An even more coincidence happened. He said that he was in the army, and he also mentioned a little about his childhood friend who had twin sons. Today, Ye Mingxiu heard the villagers describe how monkeys robbed children of children. The characteristic is that it turns out to be the younger brother of a pair of twins, and the father of the kidnapped child is also in the army.

This is too coincidental.

Such a series of coincidences is indeed incredible, it is like a fate from heaven, it landed precisely by the side of people, Ye Mingxiu didn't even think about it, and volunteered to come to the Chen family to help When returning the book, I actually wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the mysterious Comrade Zhao Jianghong from the sea.

I didn't expect this inquiry, but she really did.

"I have read his letters, in which he confided his pain and depression, I think he is a very interesting person, his writing is very attractive, he is like a blue The melancholy of the sea of ​​color..."

Qin Rou: “…”

Such a vivid description...

How do you feel like meeting the young men of the 1970s?
