Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

After Mrs. Jia paid the money, she went to a small forest not far away. She would stay here every time she ate alone. She would not go back until she finished eating.

Qin Huairu was alone at home with her child, doing housework while teaching her son how to speak. She couldn't calm down.

Although she knew that He Yuzhu was going to get married, when it came to that moment, she always felt empty in her heart. Qin Huairu didn't know what was going on with her. Anyway, she felt that she had made a miscalculation when she met He Yuzhu's wife today. The other party is shrewd,

The first thing Qin Huairu thought about was losing her lunch box and a neighbor brother who knew both cold and hot.

It may be because Jia Dongxu is not dead yet, so although Qin Huairu is sad, he is not so urgent. He can take his time if he has any ideas.

Zhao Xiaotang returned home happily, holding the vegetables he bought from the market. When he entered the gate, he met the third uncle guarding there.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and every household will relax and buy some things that they are usually reluctant to buy to improve the lives of the adults and children at home who have worked hard for a year.

The third uncle is not afraid of the cold weather. He just sits at the door of his house and watches the people coming and going in the yard. When others are packing bags, he will go up to say hello and chat a few words.

Although they were both old neighbors in the same yard, they knew what the other party meant, but after Yi Zhonghai was arrested,

The third uncle no longer dares to blatantly ask for things. Now he has a very Buddhist attitude: If you give it to me, I will accept it. If you don’t give it to me, it doesn’t matter!

"Xiaotang is coming back from shopping for vegetables! Are the vegetables fresh today? How much did they cost per pound? Your third aunt just went shopping for vegetables and she hasn't come back yet?"

"Oh! There was no food at home, so I went to buy some. I didn't meet the third aunt, so I went to Chaoyang Wet Market to buy some food."

"Then you have traveled far enough! The leeks you buy are really fresh."

"It's not fresh, why should I buy it?" Isn't that nonsense?

Zhao Xiaotang walked home as he spoke, without giving the other party a chance to come over and check.

"Hey, you run really fast, as if I care about you and pick up some leeks."

When the third uncle saw that the other party didn't buy it, he was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he had to say something bitterly, turned around and took out a big broom. He was going to sweep the yard and see if he could meet other neighbors who came back from shopping for groceries. .

"Fu Bao, how do you feel about staying at home today?"

As soon as Zhao Xiaotang opened the door, he saw Fu Bao balled up.

"Not so good. I just went around the yard and almost didn't get caught by them."

After Fu Bao transformed into an orange cat, his habits even became closer to those of a cat. When he spoke, he did not forget to lick his front paws with his tongue.

"Hahaha, who will catch you? Just treat them as playing with you."

Zhao Xiaotang said with a smile, took the dishes to the kitchen and put them away, then came back and poured a large glass of warm water to drink.

"Didn't you see any excitement?"

"There is no excitement. It's just the sound of Mrs. Jia of the Jia family scolding Qin Huairu, and some aunts and uncles saying that other people's parents are short-lived. They are either saying that their children are not very smart, or they are praising their son for getting a bonus this month. ,

Or whose son should get married, or whose daughter should get married, etc. Don't be too boring. "

Fubao didn't know what to complain about, especially when it was walking on the ground, it couldn't bear to look at those people spitting out melon seed shells and peels.

"Everyone else has friends. Do you want to make some friends? Wouldn't it be too lonely if you didn't have friends at your age?"

Fu Bao suddenly raised his head and said, this was when he was passing by the yard just now and saw the children playing and playing games together. Then he suddenly realized that Xiaotang was too lonely living alone.

"Why do you suddenly ask this? I don't feel lonely! You see, I have to read books and newspapers every day to understand this era. Now that I have space, I still have to work in space. I am so busy every day. How can I be lonely? ”

Zhao Xiaotang was a little surprised by its question. After thinking about it for a moment, she didn't feel lonely. Anyway, she had a very busy day.

This does not include the time you have to cook, eat and wash clothes, and of course the time to clean the house. There are so many things to do every day, how can you feel lonely!

"Okay, I'm just asking."

The two chatted here without saying a word. Zhao Xiaotang saw that it was almost time, so he prepared to cook dinner. He was lucky today. He saw leeks for sale at the vegetable market. Although they were a little expensive, if they were not expensive, they would be sold early. It was already bought by someone, but she was still waiting for her to buy it.

Wearing an apron, I softened the dough and waited for it to rise. After mincing the meat filling, mincing leeks, adding seasonings and mixing well, the dough was almost ready. When I was rolling out the dumpling wrappers, I missed the store decades later. The ready-made dumpling skins sold are not very convenient.

Soon, dumplings with round bellies appeared on the steamer grid one by one.

"Hey~ It seems that I have a good taste. Every time I come here, I see you making delicious food."

Xu Damao stood at the door and said with a smile,

He had just returned from a movie screening in the countryside. The place he went to this time was inaccessible by bicycle. This was a task assigned by the superiors. He had no choice but to get off the bus alone with the projection equipment and walked for more than ten hours before arriving. place,

Fortunately, the village chief had the foresight to ask a young man from the village to pick him up on the way, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

After finally finishing two movies, he couldn't get anything because it was too far away, so he really didn't catch anything.

After finally going to hand over the equipment, he heard the third uncle say that Zhao Xiaotang had bought leeks. He was already tired and hungry, so he wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he would get it.

"Tch! You must have taken a bath on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month last year, otherwise you wouldn't be so lucky. You must have just come back from the countryside!"

Zhao Xiaotang was not surprised to see it was him. After all, he had just heard him talking to the third uncle.

"There is such a saying, I don't know! Where did you little girl hear this?"

Xu Damao walked directly into the kitchen without being polite. He consciously ran to wash his hands and then took the dumpling wrappers and started making dumplings.

"I didn't expect you to be quite skillful with your hands and wrap things in a stylish way."

Zhao Xiaotang took a look at the dumplings he made and commented.

"That's right! Don't look at who I am. For me, making dumplings is not something I can do with my hands."

Xu Damao said proudly, and then started to pack another one.

Zhao Xiaotang looked at the corners of his mouth with malicious intent and then opened his mouth to give him a bombshell news.

"What do you say?"
