Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Yang Jianguo got up, took her arm, and said, "Knowing there's a child, why are you still stomping your feet like that?"

"Come on, sit here. You're at home now, why are you being so polite?"

Seeing Yang Jianguo's behavior, the young couple looked at each other with affection and spoke very sweetly.

The old couple!

This feeling is more reassuring and joyful than receiving any gift.

Li Aiguo and Li Aimin, who had disappeared somewhere, did not return until almost lunchtime.

Upon seeing his own sister, he showered her with praise.

Yingzi praised him so much that he kept smiling. He reached out and pulled out two red envelopes, slapping them into the brothers' hands: "Here, your brother-in-law asked me to wrap these."

"Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, sister." They bowed with beaming smiles, and the two of them hid to the side to open the red envelopes.

...Good buddy, a big unity.

The 10-yuan red envelope startled the two brothers. They looked at each other, dumbfounded, holding the money.

"What are you two doing there? Aren't you going to help your mother with the chores?"

Yingzi's father turned his head and laughed, scolding, "All you ever do is run wild outside all day long."

The two brothers quickly clutched the money tightly, clenched their fists, and stuffed it into their pockets: "Hey, coming right now, brother-in-law, let me refill your tea."

Seeing that his brother had prepared the tea, Li Aimin's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother-in-law, are you hungry? I'll get you some steamed buns."

"..." Looking at the two boys with a mix of amusement and exasperation, Yingzi's father was also curious.

Just how much did they have to be banned to make these two lazy boys become diligent?

It should cost at least three to five dollars, right?

I had lunch at home and saw quite a few guests coming and going.

When he left, Yang Jianguo's hands were full again.

The father-in-law accepted the gifts he had brought.

Most of what Keren brought for him was taken by the two of them.

"How much can your mother and I eat? Those two boys are always at school and never come home. Aren't you two taking them with you? Isn't that a waste?"

Well, that's what I just used to shut my father-in-law up.

He then drove the car around and brought it back.

"Yingzi, take care of yourself. Tell Mom if anything happens."

“Jianguo, live a good life. As long as we see you two doing well, your father and I will be happy.”

Standing under the eaves, Yingzi's mother stood on tiptoe and waved, saying, "Come back and visit often, take your time, take your time."

Yingzi's father stood to the side, puffing on his cigarette, watching with a deep gaze.

That slightly bent and forward-leaning spine seemed to be expressing something.

The radiant smile vanished abruptly after he stepped out the door.

Her eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes and kept flowing.

The brakes came to a stop, and Yingzi wiped away her tears with her hand.

Yang Jianguo propped the car up and put it down, then went over and hugged his wife: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll come often, often..."

He gently stroked Yingzi's back, his shoulders damp with tears.

She finally calmed her turbulent emotions and looked at him shyly with her slightly swollen eyes: "Is it swollen?"

"No swelling, my wife is beautiful no matter what." He smiled and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

Yang Jianguo lowered his head and sucked on his forehead. "In my heart, all the women in the world combined are not as good as a single hair of yours."

"Woo~"

He had just raised his head, but it slumped down again. Yingzi punched him in the chest with her hand, choking back tears, "I hate you, you did it on purpose..."

Yingzi returned to the courtyard with two big red eyes, but fortunately everyone was busy moving around.

Except for a few households, everyone else in the courtyard had left.

Even Sha Zhu has taken a girl and gone off to have some fun somewhere.

Chapter 143 Baby Walker, Egg Cracked

Ding-ding, bang-bang~

The sounds of hammering and banging had been going on for a while in the courtyard.

Lifting the curtain, Qin Huairu saw Yang Jianguo sitting on a small stool in front of her house.

He was holding several steel pipes and scraps of steel plates.

They were making a lot of banging and hammering noises, I don't know what they were doing.

Qin Huairu brushed her hair aside, picked up the basin, and walked towards the pool.

Upon arriving, she asked Yang Jianguo with remarkable efficiency, "Master, have you eaten?"

"Hmm." Yang Jianguo turned around, nodded, and continued with his work.

He plans to use these scrap materials to make a baby walker for his son/daughter.

The material was leftover from when we built the cellar last time.

Baby walkers are a bit early, but it's better to be prepared!

As for why it's not made of wood...

I'm a riveter, not a carpenter.

Besides, isn't steel stronger than wood?

If you do a certain job, you have to love that job.

Iron Man, doesn't he have to deal with iron... guys?

However, he's only making a framework for now; he'll have to get the factory to finish it later.

I don't have any tools.

Drilling, welding, and grinding until there's not a single scratch.

Every edge and corner must feel smooth to the touch.

Even if it's not for his own child, he'll still do his best.

Besides, it's for my own child.

Striving for perfection is the only standard.

As it got dark and most of the people in the yard returned, Yang Jianguo finished his work.

The frame in front of us is already set up; let's put it in the adjacent side room first.

Once we start work, we'll take it to the workshop for further processing.

Just polish it into shape.

Upon entering the room, Yingzi was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) crocheting.

Yang Jianguo made a baby walker for his child, and Yingzi sewed a cover for it.

The yarn was an old garment she found in the closet.

To be precise, it was left behind by Yang Jianguo's deceased parents.

Originally, I was worried that she would be averse to it.

Yang Jianguo kept all those things hidden and never mentioned them.

Yingzi found it herself and asked.

He immediately took out those old clothes and said with a smile, "Those are our child's grandparents."

“I am pregnant with the Yang family’s child, their grandson.”

"How could a grandfather or grandmother harm her grandson?"

“Let’s use this one. This child will have grandparents to protect him wherever he goes in the future, and he will definitely be safe and healthy.”

Seeing him come in carrying the frame, Yingzi put down what she was doing and came up to look at him with surprise.

"Jianguo, this is so beautiful! You're so skillful!"

Seeing her reach out to touch it, Yang Jianguo stepped back and laughed, "What skill do my rough hands have? Don't touch it yet, there are a lot of barbs on them."

Those seemingly insignificant little barbs can easily cause a cut if you touch them with your finger.

"Oh, then put it in that room!"

"I'm going to let it pass, I won't let you even take a look."

The shelf was placed in the next room, and the old hen in the cage was clucking and flapping its wings.

I don't know if it's a system issue with these two laying hens.

That's really impressive; it lays eggs every single day.

Occasionally they'll give you a... yes.

We eat eggs every day at home and still have some left over.

It all depends on these two old hens; there are still several eggs in the hay nest next to them.

"Just put it in this corner, it won't hurt."

Yang Jianguo placed the shelf against the corner of the wall, then turned around and saw Yingzi squatting next to the chicken coop: "What's wrong?"

"Jianguo, look, isn't it about to hatch chicks?" Yingzi waved without looking up and moved her feet to the side.

Yang Jianguo crouched down close to her and peered into the haystack.

The egg in the middle has a thin crack on it.

If you look closely, you can see that the crack is slightly raised upwards.

"That's true." Yang Jianguo chuckled.

Is it possible to drive to a remote area?

Judging by this, it's obvious that the chicks are pushing their way in from the inside.

"You wait here," Yang Jianguo said as he left.

When he returned, he had a flashlight in his hand.

Press the switch on top and hold the flashlight close to the egg.

The faint outline appeared before the two through the eggshell, and the sticky downy hairs were clearly visible.

"Jianguo, what should we do?" Yingzi pointed at the egg, both excited and worried.

I have absolutely no experience with this.

The chicks definitely need to be hatched, but how to hatch them in a way that ensures their survival is unknown.

What if he doesn't survive? Wouldn't that be a waste?

Yang Jianguo thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Let's just pretend we don't know anything and leave it!"

"Huh?" Yingzi was stunned.

What do you mean? Just leave it here to fend for itself?

"The eggs can hatch because the temperature in our room is just right, and the nest can absorb heat, so we've accelerated their hatching."

"In that case, let's just let it grow. Who knows, one day when we open the door, we'll see chicks running around inside!"

Hearing him say that, Yingzi laughed happily: "That must be interesting."

Turn off the lights and close the door.

Back in the main house, Yingzi was still talking about it: "Jianguo, if it really hatches, how are we going to raise it?"
