Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

After dinner, several people

Ma Liyue didn't let anyone else do it, she cleaned the dishes and kitchen by herself

Yang Qingqing and Yang Qinghe sat in the main room and chatted casually.

Several children were playing in the yard. Wen Jing was playing catapult with a few girls, while Wen Xuan, Wen Yuan, and Wen Jie were playing with a ball.

Yang Qingqing also took the ball from the space under the pretext that it was a defective product from the supply and marketing cooperative. In order to match its identity, Yang Qingqing even used paint to paint it a color that even its mother couldn't recognize.

The whole courtyard was filled with laughter.

Yang Qingqing saw that the children were far away, so she said

"Brother, Wenjing and the others are about to start school, and we went to buy some school supplies today."

"Of course, what did you buy? How much did you spend? I'll give it to you."

Yang Qinghe thought that Yang Qingqing told him this because she spent money, and wanted to ask him for it, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.

"Brother, you misunderstood! It didn't cost much! It's just a small matter. Wen Jing told me something today.

I think I should tell you.

She said she didn’t want to go to school anymore and wanted to work at home to help me share some of the work.”

Before Yang Qingqing finished speaking, Yang Qinghe immediately interrupted her.

"No, we can't do that! Even if Wen Jing's last name is not Yang, she is still a member of our family. As long as she is a member of our family, she must study hard and cannot give up halfway.

I went to tell her that he couldn't miss school. We are so angry with her."

When Yang Qingqing saw her second brother's excited voice, she knew that he really loved Wen Jing and treated her as a family member.

"Brother, listen to me. I haven't finished yet.

Wen Jing may have felt that her past experience would bring her some unnecessary troubles at school.

She doesn’t want to go to school, but thinks it’s the same to study at home.”

Yang Qingqing saw that Yang Qinghe was about to speak again, and immediately signaled him to listen to her first.

"I can understand her thinking. She did have some unpleasant experiences in school before.

So I think Wenjing can share our last name first. When she grows up, she can decide whether to change it back or not. It’s up to her!

"Brother, what do you think?"

"That's not good!"

Yang Qinghe did not reject Yang Qingqing's proposal outright. He mainly thought that there were indeed some people in the village who would definitely tell others if they knew about it, which would definitely cause harm to Wen Jing.

But he also felt that when his elder brother adopted Wen Jing, he wrote him a letter.

He also explained that he did not allow Liu Wenjing to change her surname because he did not want her to forget her father and who she was.

But in the current situation, I feel that changing my surname to Yang can save me a lot of trouble.

So Yang Qinghe was a little hesitant about whether to agree

"Second brother, I know what my eldest brother and sister-in-law meant before. It was mainly because Wen Jing was still young at that time.

If she changed her name at that time, she might have slowly forgotten her original surname and her biological father's name.

But now she is so old. She will definitely not forget her relatives. Whether she changes or not is just a formality.

This is just right for her, as she is from the same village. Her future schoolmates will definitely not look at her differently or have different attitudes towards her just because her last name is different from ours.

I think not only Wen Jing will not be affected, but our family will also be spared a lot of groundless speculation and influence.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Yang Qingqing actually thought her proposal was good, after all, Wen Jing herself agreed.

"Then you should also ask Wen Jing what she thinks? We can't just say whatever we want!"

Yang Qinghe finally agreed. After all, Yang Qingqing's proposal would benefit the whole family.

"Wen Jing and I have already discussed this. She agrees. I just want to ask my second brother to help me get a certificate from the brigade, and then go to the county public security bureau to help Wen Jing change her household registration.

"Second brother, is it okay?"

"So he's waiting for me here? What do I think?

That's no problem. I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. I have to ask for leave from the team in the morning.

I will talk to Brother Changhui and ask him to keep it a secret so that no one else in the village will know.

You probably haven't told other people in the village about Wen Jing's background, right?"

"No! I asked Wen Jing, but even Yin Ping and Jian Fang didn't know. They still thought Wen Jing's last name was Yang!

This must be clarified, otherwise what we do will be meaningless."

"Okay, I will definitely get it done tomorrow afternoon. It won't affect their school opening."

Seeing that her second brother agreed, Yang Qingqing did not say anything more about this matter, but said

"Then you must be having dinner at home tomorrow night!

Also, do you know what class my second sister-in-law will be working tomorrow?"

Yang Qingqing thought that they would all come back to eat tomorrow, so she could cook better and satisfy Wen Yuan, the greedy little cat.

"Your sister-in-law will work during the day tomorrow and the night shift the day after tomorrow. We will definitely eat at home tomorrow night.

You don't have to worry about us and don't spoil the children too much, especially the boys.

This child is always pushing his limits. You can't just give in to them on everything.

You still have to take care of what you should do. You didn't listen to what our ancestors said.

You don't have to beat them, but you can't always give in to them.

I think we should eat steamed corn bread and mixed wild vegetables tomorrow.

In the past, our ancestors did not even have steamed bread to eat. They relied on wild vegetables and tree bark every day and worked hard to create the new society we have today.

We cannot forget the contributions of the revolutionary martyrs.

We must not destroy the future of our country."

Yang Qingqing watched Yang Qinghe getting more and more excited, and immediately said

“I know, I don’t spoil them with anything.

I only think of rewarding them because they are really obedient.

Also, we will never forget the contributions of the revolutionary martyrs.

Don’t forget, we are all children of martyrs, how could we forget our families?”

Yang Qingqing looked at Yang Qinghe. Although he was no longer excited because of her words, he was obviously depressed.

Maybe he was thinking about the time when the family was together, and now he is the only one left with his sister.

My mood suddenly became bad

"Brother, don't think too much. I will make delicious food for you tomorrow and let you and sister-in-law taste my cooking skills."

"Okay, we'll be leaving in a moment, you guys should get some rest too."

The next day

Yang Qingqing still slept until the sun was high before getting up.

At this time, Wen Jing had already prepared the meal, and the children had also gotten up early and had breakfast.

Their breakfast was also simple, just yesterday's pancakes, small fish, pickles and corn paste.

At noon, Yang Qingqing and her friends finished all the leftover fish, pickles and pancakes from yesterday.

Even the cabbage and tofu that Yang Qinghe got from the cafeteria were all eaten.

After dinner, Yang Qinghe went to help Wen Jing change her surname.

Yang Qingqing was bored so she went to the space to stroll around

Several children went out to run around, saying that if they didn't play anymore, they would have no chance to play.
