Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

After returning to the community, Wu Yuansheng first put away the things he bought in the morning.

The collections are now stored close together, with the distance between the two villas being only fifty or sixty meters.

While putting the items away, he took a few photos of the oil painting of the girl he had bought.

I plan to show this to Yi Xiaoyue, and then find some time later to take a few photos of Wu Qi and Wu Ming wearing similar clothes.

The house was large, so he found the "iron ring rolling" toy he had bought a few years ago.

Having not played this for a long time, he tried it himself, but he felt a little unfamiliar with it and it wasn't as smooth as when he was a kid.

"Dad, are the two hoops in your hand toys?"

When they got home, Wu Qi saw the "iron ring rolling circle" in his hand and asked curiously.

Hearing the word toys, Wu Ming also looked at him.

Children of this age no longer play with such toys.

When Yi Xiaoyue saw him come back, she smiled at him and started serving dishes to the table.

"Yeah, it's a toy."

Looking at the two siblings, he said with a smile.

"Then how do you play it? Let us see how it works."

Wu Qi thought about it and said to him again.

"Let's eat first! The living room is small, it's not convenient to play this. Have you finished your homework? If you have, we can go outside and play for a while this afternoon."

"I'm done! Let's eat then."

Next, he took them to wash their hands, and then they sat around the table and started eating.

Taking out his cell phone, he showed Yi Xiaoyue the oil painting of the little girl in military uniform.

She also said it was beautiful and that she would take some photos when the weather got warmer.

She had never taken photos of this style before, so Wu Yuansheng suggested that she take a few.

"Dad! I'll tell you two brain teasers. Can you guess them?"

While they were eating, Wu Qi suddenly remembered something and said to him.

"Then tell me! Daddy isn't as educated as your mom, so he may not be able to guess it."

Looking at her serious yet cute look, he said with a smile.

"No way! I know you wrote songs for Aunt Fang and Aunt Li, and you also wrote scripts!"

She continued.

"Then tell me some brain teasers!"

"A taxi was driving normally on the road and did not violate any traffic regulations, but was stopped by a policeman. Why?"

Wu Qi quickly told the riddle.

I was driving normally and did not violate any traffic rules, but was stopped.

Taxi. When he thought of taxi, he suddenly understood.

"Because the police want a ride! Right?"

"Yes! I just want a ride.

Let me say the next one:

There is something that you can hold with your left hand but not with your right hand. What is it?"

"It's my right hand!"

What she asked was also very simple. After thinking about it for a while, he answered it.

"Dad! I'll tell you a brain teaser too!"

Wu Ming spoke after Wu Qi finished speaking.

She didn't let Yi Xiaoyue guess, maybe because she knew that what he was talking about was what she taught her or what they had watched together.

"Then tell me!"

"What gets dirtier the more you wash it?"

"Is it water?"

He tried to ask.

He seemed to have heard someone talk about this somewhere.

"Yes!"

They ate and chatted.

After lunch, Wu Qi and Wu Ming pulled him over and asked him to play with them to play the "iron ring rolling" toy.

After helping Yi Xiaoyue clean the table and wash the dishes, the whole family went outside.

Because it was windy and the temperature was still dropping, they did not go far, but just played in an open area in the community.

There are two operating modes for rolling this iron ring. One is to put the iron hook inside the ring, and the other is to put it outside the ring.

When he was a child, he was very skilled in both methods.

I feel a little unfamiliar with it now, but after playing for a while and finding the feeling, it becomes more convenient.

Maybe they thought it was strange, so when they were playing, some neighbors nearby saw it. Some of the older ones said they hadn't seen such a thing for a long time.

Some people even borrowed it to try it out for a few times.

Some children in the community also saw the toys they wanted to play with and asked their parents to help buy them online.

Wu Yuansheng searched on his mobile phone and found that there were many businesses selling this toy and it was not expensive.

In addition, the size and weight are also different.

The largest ones are for fitness purposes and can weigh dozens of kilograms.

When he has nothing to do later, he plans to buy one weighing several dozen kilograms for fun.

(When people reach a certain age, especially when they are no longer short of money, they will understand that health is the most important thing. Being able to maintain good health, exercise more, and live a good life are better than anything else.)

During this period, Wu Qi asked Yi Xiaoyue to try it. She had never played with it before, so she definitely wouldn't be able to operate it. However, with such a toy at home, she believed that after a period of practice, she would be able to play it.

She has been practicing yoga for a long time and is currently in great shape.

Judging from her appearance, she still looks to be in her twenties.

After wearing the mask for three years, Wu Yuansheng rarely went outside to be exposed to the wind and sun, so his skin became whiter, and his life became better, so he gained a little weight.

He himself has changed a lot and no longer looks as old as before.

Sometimes when he goes out, people say that he is getting younger and younger.

After playing outside for about two hours, they went home.

"Today is Christmas Eve, do you want to go out for dinner tonight?"

After sitting at home for a while and drinking some hot water, he asked Yi Xiaoyue.

"It's better not to go out for dinner. Masks have just been taken off. I saw some clinics full of people lining up for injections and medication. It's Christmas Eve or not. It's different now than before. There's nothing fun outside!"

He felt that what she said made sense.

I remember that in my previous life, I rented a house in XZ District. The place where he lived was right next to a large site that had been demolished.

That was also the time when masks were just taken off.

There is a mourning tent set up on the grounds every day, and funerals are held almost every day, just like in a funeral home.

It lasted for two or three months until the weather got warmer after the Qingming Festival, when it gradually got better.

During that period, every time I passed by a pharmacy or clinic, I could see people queuing up to buy medicine or waiting for injections.

Especially in the morning, there are more people queuing.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t go out to play now, all you need is a mobile phone, which has all the content.

Besides, Christmas has not been lively in the past few years.

The scene that happened ten years ago probably won't exist again and only exists in the memories of those who experienced it.

"Dad! Come over and play the ring toss game with us for a while!"

Not long after, Wu Ming came over, took his hand and said.

He and Wu Qi placed some toys on the ground and often played with them using small wicker circles they had made.

"Don't just play. You've played for a long time this afternoon. Go read a book with your sister! Let Wu Qi tell you the story in the book!"

Before he could speak, Yi Xiaoyue said to Wu Ming.

She has been very attentive to the education of her two children, starting from prenatal education until now.

Whether it's looking for experience online or discussing it with other women.

But she was well educated, at least much better than him.

"Listen to your mother and go read a book with your sister. You can play for a while in the evening when you have time."

Wu Yuansheng also followed suit.

"OK then!"

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he went to find Wu Qi.

With nothing to do, he helped to prepare dinner at five o'clock.

At this time, the wind outside was blowing even harder.

After dinner, at seven o'clock, snowflakes started falling from the sky.

Children like and are excited about snow and are not afraid of the cold.

Wu Qi and Wu Ming even argued about going outside.

"Do you want to go to Yazhou for some time?"

Feeling cold, he said to Yi Xiaoyue.

"Forget it, let's wait until they grow up!"

“It will take a long time for them to grow up.”

"It's okay! Time flies. In fact, you don't need to buy a house over there. You only live there a few times a year."

Thinking about the actual situation she described, Wu Yuansheng felt the same way. He had basically not lived in the house he bought there in the past few years.

I blame myself for being hot-headed at that time.

"Why don't we live there in the future and transfer them to a school in Yazhou."

"Forget it. I think the mainland is better! I'm used to it."

"Then let's wait until they grow up and then we can go live there!"

The two chatted for a while, and after staying outside for a while, they returned indoors.

They spent Christmas Eve at home instead of going out.
