Two or three things about the Duan family

This spring, Duan Hu didn't plant any more crops. He discussed with Shi Xiaoshi, they didn't earn much food, and they didn't have time to deal with it. They only planted a few acres of watermelon on the sandy land, and rented out the rest of the land.

This summer, because Duan Shao had to take care of Qi Huan who was pregnant, Duan Hushi and Xiaoshi had to take care of the watermelon by himself.Father Shi and Abba Shi often come to help.

Last year, the reputation of Duan Hu's watermelons spread. After the watermelons were ripe, people would sneak up to visit them at night. Father Shi counted the number of watermelons that were missing, and felt very distressed. He finally decided to sleep in the watermelon field at night. , He is going to look at the watermelon fields, those are all paulownia.

He asked Duan Hu to build a wooden shed with him. It was not cold in summer. The three sides of the wooden shed were tightly blocked, and only one side had a large rectangular opening. It was a small door. Look at it. In the past, you can just see the condition of the watermelon field.

Sometimes, Father Shi would sit in the wooden shed with his grandson in his arms. The door of the wooden shed was wide open, and Father Shi would sit and smoke inside. Duan Tangtang would play with a group of friends in the watermelon field. Sweating profusely from playing, Father Shi would cut watermelons for the children to eat.

Duan Tangtang's little friends were still too young, each of them had watermelon juice all over their faces and necks after eating, Father Shi had no choice but to fetch water from the river not far away, and scrub them one by one.

Duan Tangtang was the youngest, he ate all the watermelon on his clothes, Father Shi simply stripped him off, gave him a bath, then put away the dirty clothes, let him go out to play naked, and run around with his little bird ——Many children in the village came here when they were young.

In the evening, Duan Tangtang's little friends were all called back by the adults in the family. At this time, only their grandparents and grandchildren were left, and Aba Shi would come over with a pot of rice. People squatted together to eat.

Seeing that Duan Tangtang took the bowl with his bare buttocks and was about to sit down on the ground, Father Shi hurriedly scooped him up.

Putting down the bowl, Father Shi said to Father Shi, "Eat first, I'll go home and get Tangtang some clothes."

Father Shi grabbed him, "Eat first, otherwise the food will be cold."

Aba Shi looked at the naked little grandson, thought for a while, put the grandson on the ground beside him, then pulled a lot of watermelon leaves, spread them on the ground, and then put his coat on the top. He hugged his naked grandson up.

Satisfied, he touched the leaves and clothes under Duan Tangtang's buttocks, for fear of hurting his grandson's tender buttocks.

Oh, by the way, Duan Tangtang can already eat a lot.

Every few days, Duan Hu would exchange Papa Shi back. As soon as he came back from the shop, he came directly to the watermelon patch.

Shi Xiaoshi often accompanied him, Duan Hu was always very happy at this time, as for what happened on this happy night?

Hehehe...

Sometimes Duan Tangtang would come to accompany him, and Duan Hu would grab Duan Tangtang and tell him stories, telling him to read, one, two, three...

When I came back from the town that day, I saw Duan Tangtang and a few young children surrounding a man from a long distance away. It was Duan Hu's neighbor named Duan Chun.

Duan Chun hugged his little nephew and threw it there again and again, and Duan Hu could hear the child's happy giggling from far away.

Duan Tangtang twisted his chubby hands together and looked at his little friend enviously.

Xu Shi was tired, so Duan Chun stopped to rest.Seeing this, Duan Tangtang plucked up the courage to go forward, and said pitifully to Duan Chun, "Uncle..."

Duan Chun looked down at him, then patted Duan Tangtang's little head, "Tangtang, it's not that uncle doesn't want to play with you, it's just that uncle really can't hold you, what if he accidentally drops you?"

Duan Tangtang was too fat.

Hearing this, he pursed his lips and did not speak, then reached into the small pocket on his stomach, and after pawing for a long time, he pulled out a piece of candy, looked at Duan Chun expectantly, and handed the candy over .

Duan Chun smiled, of course he can't accept things from a child, and was about to refuse when someone shouted from a distance, "Tangtang."

Duan Tangtang turned his head away when he heard the words, grinned his little mouth immediately, and ran towards that person, "Father~"

Duan Hu bent down and hugged the little fat man who ran over, "Oh, it's so heavy."

Standing up with Duan Tangtang in his arms, Duan Hu greeted Duan Chun with a smile from a distance, and then got into the carriage with Duan Tangtang in his arms.

Duan Tangtang failed to go to school, and was ridiculed for a long time in the village, but even if people laughed at him in front of him, he didn't know what it meant, and every time he was called, he just opened his mouth politely Calling people, talking and talking, people feel boring, the matter passed like this, and later, people only talk about it occasionally when they think about it.

The income from watermelons has doubled compared to last year. This year, Duan Hu bought a few more boxes of honey and put them in Shi Xiaoshi's shop, which is another income. Money is already a big savings for them.

Duan Hu thought about it, bought the dim sum shop, and after expanding it a bit, Shi Xiaoshi taught Tang Xiaoan the craft.That is to say, the shop and handicraft Shi Xiaoshi provided, and the rest were handed over to Tang Xiaoan, and the dividends were divided into seven and three, Shi Xiaoshi seven, Tang Xiaoan three.

As for Shi Xiaoshi, Duan Hu rented a shop next to the furniture shop, and spent money to buy a stewed meat recipe, selling stewed meat and honey at the same time.

They also bought a small yard in the town, and only waited for Duan Tangtang to go to school and live in it when he grew up.

Last year when selling watermelon, Duan Tangtang could only make trouble, but this year he is back to yelling. The same people sell watermelon, and Duan Tangtang's lucky fat baby is more attractive than other shops.

However, Duan Tangtang would help, but he didn't have the patience to stay there selling watermelons all the time, and Duan Hu wouldn't let him shout, for fear that his voice would become hoarse.

After wiping off his sweat, the sun was so hot that everyone was drowsy, but Duan Tangtang was extraordinarily energetic, he wanted to run around and play.

If the sun hadn't been so strong, Duan Hu would have given in, but he looked up at the particularly dazzling sun, and held Duan Tangtang in his arms.

It's not every day that you can sell the watermelon early and go back. For example, today, when Duan Hu cleared the stall and went back, the sky had already cooled down.

Holding Duan Tangtang, who was sleeping like a piglet, into the car, Duan Hu wrapped him up in the little quilt that he had prepared earlier in the morning, and then drove home.

When going back, Duan Hu was afraid that Duan Tangtang would be on his back, so the car drove slowly, and it was already dark when we got back.

After tying up the cow, Duan Hu hugged Duan Tangtang and walked in lightly. He pushed the door open with a squeak, and saw Shi Xiaoshi who was asleep on the table, rubbing his sleepy eyes, "Are you back?"

Duan Hu looked at Shi Xiaoshi, whose face was full of marks because he was sleeping on the table, and nodded with a smile.

"Ok!"
