Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Jianguo, Yingzi, you're back." Seeing the two enter, Aunt Yi got off the kang (a heated brick bed).

With a rosy complexion, she told the two of them about the child's performance that day.

The baby vomited after three feedings of formula, but has stopped now.

The second child took a nap, but kept his eyes open all afternoon and refused to sleep.

Yingzi stepped forward and took a look, but instead of just staring around with her eyes wide open, she looked around aimlessly.

A child this age can't actually see very far.

You can only see a meter or two away.

Otherwise, why would she stop caring about someone once they're away from her?

She turned her head around looking for her, because she was nowhere to be seen.

Yingzi pressed her face against her, and her daughter, who had just been turning her head to look around, immediately turned back to stare at her.

Then, her little mouth smiled.

Her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep!

"Oh my, this child is really something." Aunt Yi looked at him with envy that her eyes reddened.

Even at such a young age, she already knew how to look for her mother.

Good, really good.

"Auntie, eat here tonight before you go back." Yang Jianguo put the steamer on, preparing to steam the buns.

"No, no, there are still people at home!" Aunt Yi said tactfully.

The couple are both very busy people, and they rushed back as fast as they could just want to spend more time with their child.

If I just stand here by myself, won't people find me annoying?

"I'm leaving now, I'll come again tomorrow morning." Aunt Yi left the house beaming.

As I walked home, I felt refreshed and my steps became lighter.

It's true, everything about it feels good.

Especially my chest, which used to feel stuffy, suddenly felt much better.

Those two pink little guys are so adorable!

This is what it means to live life.

Just as they were enjoying themselves, they ran into Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, how's your situation?" Aunt Yi asked, genuinely concerned for him.

Xu Damao didn't provoke her, and his attitude towards Aunt Yi was quite good.

"What else can we do?" Xu Damao said indignantly, "We got the money back, those two shameless bastards..."

Xu Damao has really lost face this time, taking the blame for others and losing money.

He almost got himself filled in, which was a huge compliment.

Bright green...

Just thinking about this made Xu Damao's face turn green and purple.

However, he later spent two days staking out the place and managed to catch the woman meeting another man.

Not only did they get their money back, they also earned ten yuan in compensation.

When Xu Damao gets into a tantrum, his words are no joke.

They received ten yuan in compensation.

That's the end of that.

Xu Damao was just feeling uneasy and hadn't been in the mood to look for the girl these past few days.

When you encounter someone who actively flirts with you, you feel like they're setting a trap for you. Look at their eyes... like they're looking at a fool.

This caused Xu Damao to lose sleep and appetite.

bother!

Seeing his agitated state, Aunt Yi said earnestly, "Da Mao, it's not that I'm criticizing you."

"You should settle down and find someone to settle down with."

Xu Damao tilted his head. "I want to look for her too, but can't I find her?"

He is admired, but others look down on him.

Those who are interested in him, he only wants to have fun with and has no interest in marriage.

They're picky about people, finding fault with this and that.

Ultimately, Xu Damao's heart was wandering!

He had no intention of getting married from the bottom of his heart.

Aunt Yi is an experienced woman; half of her body is buried in the yellow earth.

Can't you tell what he means or what his attitude is?

He sighed, said nothing more, and went back home after saying goodbye.

Go inside and close the door.

The room was cold, the stove was cold, and it was deserted.

Aunt Yi stood inside the door, just sitting there.

After a long while, he let out a sigh and walked towards the stove.

It's time to start the fire and cook.

“Pingping, look at your dad, this is your dad.” Yingzi pointed to Yang Jianguo who was coming over and whispered to her son.

Her little eyes were fixed on her fingers, spinning them around and around.

When Yang Jianguo brought his face close to his face, right up to him.

Only then did he notice that there was a... giant monster in front of him!

"Wah, hoo hoo..." She yelled loudly, waking An'an from her sleep with just two shouts.

"Wow, ahh..." My daughter's voice is really high-pitched.

The two sobs rose and fell, alternating, accompanied by a chorus of voices.

Hearing the rhythm was good, Yang Jianguo's feet started moving unconsciously.

It's here, I feel it!

Seeing that he was still wriggling around, Yingzi patted him on the shoulder, amused: "Is this how a father should act?"

Seeing his wife's angry and disgusted look, Yang Jianguo chuckled and scratched his head: "Alright, I'll go cook."

"Alright, you watch the child, I'll take care of it." Yingzi pulled him back and got up to walk towards the stove.

"After a long day, let's relax with a soak!" Yingzi brought over a basin of hot water while she was playing with the child.

I took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the basin.

Then he went back to the stove and continued working.

These days, Yingzi has seen how tired her man is!

Though he didn't say it, it was on his mind.

Taking care of the child is hard work for her, but isn't it hard for him too?

To help her sleep well at night.

Yang Jianguo would get up as soon as he heard a noise, and would hold the child and sway on the ground all night, trying to soothe him.

Yingzi knew all this, just so she could get a full night's sleep.

Every day when people ask him if he's tired, Yang Jianguo always says he's not.

He said he slept for four or five hours, and that's enough.

But Yingzi would be a fool to believe that.

Working during the day and taking care of the baby at night, how can you not be tired?!

Having a man by your side to help you shoulder the burden and support you is a great advantage.

Yingzi found all the hardships and exhaustion sweet.

Their enthusiasm was also heightened.

She felt increasingly sorry for her man and wanted him to rest properly.

But sometimes, Yingzi really couldn't hold on.

My eyelids were drooping like they were weighed down by a weight, and I couldn't stop them.

He fell asleep while he was talking.

When I opened my eyes again, it was dawn.

This is her current state, and Yingzi is angry at herself for being so useless.

"Alright, then you'll feed the baby every day... milk, change their diapers, cheer them up when they're awake, and pat them when they're asleep."

"I work during the day, and when I come back I cook, clean, do needlework, and take apart and change clothes."

"My clothes are always clean and neat, all thanks to my wife's care."

Yang Jianguo raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I've married a hero."

Seeing that he had noticed and remembered all these matters, big and small, Yingzi was overjoyed beyond words.

Don't you understand what a couple means?

Come on, take a look, this is what you call a couple.

How could life not get better with all this?

Learning and teaching at the same time, the days passed one by one.

Before we knew it, the two babies were almost a month old.

Yang Jianguo held the full moon celebration in the courtyard.

The main reason is that we don't want to make a big fuss.

With his current reputation, if he were to do something in public, it would definitely get leaked.

Then, when that day comes, you'll see how many uninvited guests will come and wear out the restaurant's doorstep.

It's convenient and lively in the courtyard.

It's mainly about showing your appreciation and making the elderly happy.

In the past, a full moon and a first birthday were considered big events.

Firstly, it's to bring good luck, and secondly, it's a way to send best wishes to the child.

Yingzi's parents took this matter to heart from the very beginning.

Let Yingzi discuss it with him. Our conditions aren't bad either, so we should still do it. Just make sure it's done properly.

Yang Jianguo agreed, saying that life is only lived once.

We have the resources, and we're not breaking the law, so what can't we do?

The head chef was Sha Zhu. Five tables were set up, and six dishes were cooked for each table: two meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.

At Yang Jianguo's establishment, everyone, whether familiar or not, and whether they harbored any resentment, was given ample respect.

Even the smallest amount they gave was one dollar.

Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye, a couple, generously gave five yuan.

However, in a couple of months, the money will be gone again.

Ran Qiuye's due date is fast approaching.
