Dinner is leftovers leftovers at noon. Although the Yin family’s family background is very rich, but the old man Yin and Yin Ke’s parents have come from hard times, and they will not dislike the leftovers. Naturally, Yin Ke is not that kind. Children who can't eat this kind of food will have to let Old Man Yin be beaten to death.

Xu Ning made a small pot of pimple soup in the kitchen. The space water was used in it. It was delicious and mellow. Even if he had eaten a lot at noon, the men still drank three bowls each. If it weren’t for the stomach, there would be no place. I've installed it, and I must continue to drink it.

Because Yin Ke is here tonight, Xie Zheng has no chance to be a bit ambiguous with Xu Ning, so he can only sit in the living room and watch TV. The TV is imported. The color 29-inch is also the largest in China. Yes, the price is naturally not cheap, but it can't stand up to color. Xu Rui especially likes watching cartoons with Xiao Huihui.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Xuejuan stepped forward and picked up her son who was sleeping on the sofa, and asked Xiao Huihui to go to bed together.

In fact, Qin Xuejuan didn’t want Xiao Huihui to sleep in the house, but she had been guarding Xu Rui since she was a child. Xiao Huihui could scratch the door and keep screaming at night, so she still had to put it in when she woke up. She built a nest for Xiao Huihui in the corner of the bedroom, and there were stuff in it. Huihui knew that it was convenient to go to the bathroom, otherwise Qin Xuejuan would not agree to her son crying.

When Qin Xuejuan intends to let Xu Rui sleep alone next year, it is time to exercise.

Seeing her mother going back, Xu Ning also greeted Xie Zheng and Yin Ke, "Don't watch it too late, you two, I'm going to bed too."

"Go, don't forget to close the window at night, the weather forecast just now said there might be light rain tonight, don't catch a cold." Xie Zheng warned carefully.

Yin Ke looked at his good buddy stubbornly, so he cared and followed.

How did he know that if it weren't for staying cheeky, the two little lovers would have found a place to kiss me and me.

"I know." Xu Ning got up and yawned and walked slowly to the backyard along the hand-shou veranda at home.

After entering from the gate, the chaosou veranda was built along the eaves of the walls along the road, and there are also rolled up curtains under the chaosou veranda. The erosion of wind and rain makes it moldy, and it can also be used to avoid getting wet when passing through the veranda when moving through the various rooms.

Yin Ke stood by the bed and looked at the floor lamp that lit up in the backyard, embellishing the backyard like a dream.

"This is obviously the imperial capital, but in Xu Ning's home, it feels like being in a water village in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xie Zheng curled his lips and said, "From the time the house was bought, to the later repairs, and then to now, it has spent a lot of money. But compared to those newly built high-rise buildings, I still like this style of house, retro and modern. The combination, and sunshine is also adopted to the maximum extent, it is much more comfortable and cozy than the high-rise buildings with steel structure."

"That's what I mean." Yin Ke opened his mouth and yawned, "Go upstairs to sleep. I was tossing at school last night and fell asleep until early in the morning. I was woken up by the brother in the dormitory early in the morning."

"Well, you go first, I will go after watching the news." Xie Zheng pointed to the CCTV news on the TV and said.

Yin Ke didn't say much. He yawned and walked upstairs. He went upstairs in the afternoon and saw it first. Although the room is not big, the bed is very comfortable.

In summer, if the front and rear windows are open, sleeping at night is absolutely cool and comfortable, while in winter, there is a radiator in the room, which can be heated by itself to ensure that it will not be cold.

Even after Xu Ning took a bath, even if he was in the quilt, the quilt was slightly cool, but it didn't make people feel cold. After lying down for a while, the smooth fabric adhered to the skin, as if people were in the clouds.

She just pulled up the layer of tulle inside the curtain. The thick sky blue curtain outside did not move. The faint light outside the window shined through the tulle curtain, with a hazy beauty. A faint wood fragrance, very light and not pungent, this kind of grass and wood scent will relax people's spirits.

Dimly, the light outside seemed to be pressed down, and Xu Ning fell asleep unconsciously.

She was awakened by the light the next morning.

Outside the window, I could hear the scream of gray, Xu Ning got out of bed barefoot, walked to the window and pulled the curtains aside, pushed open the wooden door of the balcony, a faint damp rushed over his face. It should have been the next one last night. It was light rain, and the sky in the distance was stained with mist. On the lawn downstairs, Xu Ruizheng and Huihui were chasing after me. The tail of Huihui was like a propeller, chasing the little master while screaming. Then, occasionally seeing signs that Xu Rui was about to fall, Huihui would rush over to make mats for the little master.

"Sister, get up to eat." Seeing Xu Ning on the balcony, Xu Rui smiled and shouted at her with a gray neck underneath, with a clear voice and full of vitality.

"Come on, don't play anymore." After returning to change clothes, after washing, he went downstairs to the front yard.

It's not too late for Xu Ning to get up. Yin Ke hasn't gotten up at this point, and Xie Zheng hasn't gotten down upstairs, but the grandparents seem to have circled the house a few times, and they just came back from morning exercises.

"Grandpa and grandma early!" Xu Ning watched as the two walked in hand in hand, "isn't there a park nearby? Are there many people doing morning exercises in the morning?"

"Not young or old." Yu Chunhua looked at her granddaughter, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"New bed and new quilt, of course I slept well." Xu Ning took her grandma's arm, "Where are your two elders?"

"Of course it's comfortable." Old Uncle Yao squinted his eyes and felt more happy. This is the place where he lived when he was a child, and now he sleeps in the room with his old woman, and he slept in the same room as a child. Although the layout has been slightly changed, the bed is not him. The kind of baby bed when he was a child, but it was still comfortable and made him feel at ease.

Because the two old people were getting older, Qin Xuejuan didn't give them Simmons, but was covered with a few layers of soft quilts. The old man's bones couldn't withstand the toss of Simmons, and it was estimated that his whole body would feel sore after a night of sleep.

And next to the east kitchen in the front yard, there is a fire kang, which is prepared for the two elderly people in winter. The fire kang is good for the body and keeps away the cold. You can move in to sleep when the weather is cold, although the room is not big. The daylighting is not good either. It's better to just sleep and not do anything else.

After all, every room in the house is equipped with a radiator, and no room in the house will be cold in winter.

Qin Xuejuan came out of the kitchen and saw that the morning exercise was back, and said to Xu Rui: "Rui Rui, go upstairs and tell my brother to get up and eat."

"Oh, I'm going now." Xu Rui stepped on his calf and rushed into the living room to the second floor.

Xie Zheng has gotten up. He is holding a book of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases while reading on the deck chair on the balcony. Yin Ke next door is probably still lying in bed. It is just seven o'clock in the morning. .

"Brother." Xu Rui rushed in, saw that the quilt had been folded, and then turned to the next door.

At half past seven, everyone was sitting in the living room for breakfast.

"You are going to the flower and bird market in the morning?" Yu Chunhua looked at the children in front of him, "Then buy some flowers and don't attract bugs like that."

"We plan to see if there are any lotus root sellers, and we will plant them in the backyard pond, and then buy a few colors of koi to put in." Xu Ning drank the millet porridge, "This kind of words looks good and clean. I always feel that there is something else. If it’s very fragrant, it’s impossible not to attract bugs, right? It’s not good if it’s turned on to provoke bees."

"Lotus is okay." Yu Chunhua nodded, and then said to the old uncle medicine next to him: "The lotus pond at the back of our village is beautiful. The backyard in our backyard can grow at most 20 or 30 sugar. It's better if it's bigger."

Uncle Yao laughed when he heard the words: "How big do you want to be bigger? When the Qing Dynasty was an official, there were strict regulations on the size of official mansions. Of course, those favored officials were not counted, and the emperor could not give them imperial residences. Mansions, then the mansions where the relatives and relatives of the imperial family live, look at the ruined and defeated ones now. The only ones that are kept intact are the limited mansions that have also been converted into scenic spots by the state. How could they be sold to us."

"That's what I said." Yu Chunhua nodded, "I don't mean that I want to live in a big house. I feel that when we go out in our village, it will be spacious. Then look at the imperial capital. Besides a house or a house when we go out, our house is pretty good. ."

Xu Ning put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, "If grandma thinks the garden at home is small, let's open up the house next door. The house in the backyard is very dilapidated. We can demolish and expand the garden."

"You are going to open a shop in the house next door."

"I need to study for eight years now, but the house next door can't be stored for eight years. I'll look at it later. The plot of land in my mother's hand is estimated to start in the next two years. You can also ask my mother to give it to me over there. I can pick a location, or if my mother buys land in the future."

"I think this idea is pretty good." Xie Zheng agreed with Xu Ning's opinion. "Grandma hasn't seen it next door, right?"

"I didn't go. I went to the next door half a month ago. Didn't anyone live in it before? It's overgrown with bugs and rats everywhere, it's dirty, and the house is in tatters." Yu Chunhua said with regret.

Speaking of this, Yin Ke knows better than Xie Zheng, "It turns out that this house is owned by the Gardens Bureau. It seems that there is also an office next door, but Grandma Yu doesn't know. This kind of house is very troublesome to maintain. After that, the department next door moved to the new government building. It was almost six or seven years since it was moved, and the house was unattended. There was no time to manage it. Twenty or thirty years ago, there were a lot of houses of this kind in the imperial capital. Later, since I was young ten years ago, many of these houses were unoccupied for a long time, and many of them simply couldn’t live in them. Planting wooden houses, they prefer to live in foreign-style villas."

"Anyway, since the house next door has been bought, I definitely can't let the house continue to be abandoned. If it becomes empty, just repair it." Yu Chunhua and Qin Xuejuan said.

Qin Xuejuan smiled and nodded and agreed.

Actually, it doesn’t need to be said by her mother-in-law, Qin Xuejuan is also going to be repaired. Since her daughter is not going to open a shop here, open up the yard and expand the pond. There will be a variety of lotus flowers in it, and some koi carp will be raised in the middle. The pavilion, by the way, plant a little more trees, and of course, add a garage on the other side. In the future, the family will definitely buy a car. Thinking about the house will soon become a small two thousand square meters, that feeling is simply not too good.

She likes this retro-style house very much. After all, European-style villas have lived in from small to large, that’s how it is, but last night she slept in the room all night, the quality of sleep was very high, a good night’s dream, even her son got up She didn't even hear her when she went to pee by herself.

In the morning, the little guy proudly told him about it.

"Then start construction early, and strive to finish the decoration before the New Year." Qin Xuejuan looked at Xie Zheng and smiled: "Bring your grandpa and grandma to live here during the New Year."

"Good." Xie Zheng nodded.

Yin Ke opened his mouth and said that he wanted to come, but when he thought about the relationship between his family and the Xu family, Xie Zheng's family was close, so he could only give up.

"Yin Ke, don't be polite if you want to come." Qin Xuejuan smiled warmly.

Yin Ke sighed, "For those celebrating the New Year, family members can't let me go out and run around, but in the first month I came back to visit my grandparents, uncles and aunts."

"Well, we are waiting for you at home."

Since it needs to be renovated, today’s flower and bird market will not go, but living near the imperial city, there are a lot of places to play, Houhai, Jingshan, etc., just go around anywhere, and one day will pass.

"Let’s go to Quanjude at noon." Xie Zheng looked at Xu Ning, "have not eaten yet?"

"No." Xu Ning's eyes lit up immediately. Although he hadn't eaten it before, these three words were well-known.

Xie Zheng saw the little girl's shiny eyes, with a smile on the corners of her lips, her eyes soft as water, "Take you over for a taste at noon."

"Um!"

"Do you want to eat your parents?" Qin Xuejuan looked at the two old men.

Old Uncle Yao smiled triumphantly, "You play with yours. If we want to eat, we will go together by ourselves."

Well, the relationship between these two elderly people is really very good. They usually go shopping in the morning and even pick up their grandson to and from school. Occasionally, people will take advantage of the working day when their grandson is at school and take the bus hand in hand to the neighborhood. Of various tourist attractions to play.

The best time was last week. The two of them spent five days working in the Forbidden City. After watching them, they switched to other scenic spots such as Jingshan, and even thought of waiting for the two to be free. Going to the Great Wall.

Qin Xuejuan is not at ease, you two old people are going to climb the Great Wall, it is so tired, but unfortunately I can't help it.

In the afternoon, Xie Zheng returned to school, and Xu Ning was not in a hurry to go back because there was no class on Monday morning.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Jianjun was unable to come to the family for a reunion because he only had one day of legal leave. He could only call his wife to relieve his lovesickness, and he kept chanting on the phone to hurry up for the New Year. He missed his wife.

Qin Xuejuan listened carefully. After all, in the living room, the father-in-law was watching TV with his grandson, and the mother-in-law and daughter were cooking lunch in the kitchen. She was really afraid that the father-in-law and son would hear her husband’s coquettish voice on the phone, and she would be ashamed. .

"Do you think I don't want you?" Qin Xuejuan said in a low voice.

Xu Jianjun smiled like a second fool over there, "I must miss me, I know."

"It's good to know, you work hard and you have moved from the town to the county. I believe you will definitely be able to come to the imperial capital from the county." Qin Xuejuan held the phone and said with red cheeks, "I know best. Your ability is definitely fine."

"Then I go from town to city, then province, and then to the imperial capital. This is not a good ten or twenty years, I will be old at that time." Xu Jianjun said so, but his voice was gone. Lost, but still full of enthusiasm, "I will not let you down, I will continue to go up, no matter where you go in the future, people will say that you Qin Xuejuan's vision is correct."

Qin Xuejuan's eyes suddenly moistened, and she nodded repeatedly, "Well, I am looking forward to it. Even now, I can tell everyone that I have never missed my vision."

"It's a holiday today. You can't cry, lest your parents and children laugh at you." Xu Jianjun also felt sour in his heart. How long has it been since I hugged his wife to sleep, it's really **** painful, "Behind me Some people are waiting to make a call. I won’t say anything today. I will call you on the phone in the factory when I go back tonight, and wait for my parents to fall asleep after ten o’clock, OK?”

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

"Goodbye daughter-in-law."

A pair of fateful mandarin ducks hung up the phone reluctantly.

Qin Xuejuan was about to go to the kitchen to help, and when she turned around, she almost knocked down her son next to her.

"Oh my dear son, what are you doing behind your mother?"

"Daddy's phone number?" Xu Rui and Huihui looked up at their mother together, "I haven't talked to my dad yet."

"..." Qin Xuejuan wanted to dig a hole in.

Just now I was just talking to my husband, but I forgot to let my children and their dad say a few words.

But she was ashamed to say that she had forgotten, if she let her parents-in-law and daughter know, she would definitely be a joke.

"Ruirui, my dad is busy with work. Can I let you talk to my dad in the evening?"

Xu Rui looked at her mother with bright black eyes, and after a while she nodded her head with her small mouth, "Well, mother don't forget this time."

Qin Xuejuan covered her face and went out.

Well, she failed and didn't lie to her son.

How old is this kid, too shrewd, right? Can this be seen?

Xu Rui led Huihui and sat down beside his grandfather. "Mom must have forgotten that there is still my son."

Old Uncle Yao looked at his grandson's little appearance and laughed loudly, "It's been a long time since your parents have seen each other. There must be a lot to say, so follow along."

"My dad and I haven't seen each other for a long time." Rui Bao was slightly aggrieved.

"In more than four months, Dad will be here, and when the time comes, I will be with you every day." Old Uncle Yao comforted his little grandson. That's all. Xu Jianjun is a national cadre after all, and his work is important.

Children, although the mood is easy to go back and forth, but the recovery is also very fast.

After the fragrant meal was on the table, the little guy simply forgot the uncomfortable feeling of thinking about his father just now.

dad? Only after finishing the meal can I have the strength to miss Dad.
