Days of farming with bamboo horses

"...Do you want to make your own wedding dress?" Su Zipei asked in a low voice.

"Of course, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, how can you give it to someone else?" Li Ying didn't notice the abnormality, and continued to laugh, "I heard that wearing a wedding dress made by myself will lead to a harmonious and beautiful marriage in the future. "

Zhou Chengyu supported his forehead silently, the little thing is a decisive handicapped party, he would prick himself with a needle, how could he let him make the wedding dress by himself?

"Can't you ask someone else to do it?" Zhou Chengyu said, and the two people on the opposite side disagreed. He coughed lightly and explained, "Zipei is not very good at this kind of needlework. I'm afraid he will hurt me."

"Every brother prepares the wedding dress by himself, or Dad prepares it. I have never heard of anyone who makes wedding dresses for others." Li Ying paused.

Su Zipei scratched her head, a little shy: "Will it be difficult? I'm clumsy, and it may take a long time to learn."

"It's not difficult, I can teach you." Li Ying was full of confidence.It's just that when he saw Su Zipei's craftsmanship in the future, he regretted talking so much.

The four of them chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. In fact, this is also the reason why many villagers chose to separate their families.It's not that there is a disagreement between the brothers, it's just that if the brothers marry their husbands, they will spend so much on food, rice, oil and salt, and things at home will become troublesome.If we live together again, there will always be interests involved, and unpleasantness will arise. It is better to separate early and keep in touch with each other as before. There is nothing to argue about, but the relationship is not alienated.

The two Zhou Chengyu brothers were chatting at the dining table, Li Ying was busy feeding Lin Yu, Su Zipei concentrated on the food in the bowl, and finally ate most of the food in the bowl, heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard the cry of a child coming from the room .

"Husband, please feed Xiaoyu, Xiaotong is crying, I'll go and see." Li Ying put the bowl into Zhou Chengzhi's hand, and hurriedly got up and left.

Su Zipei looked at Li Ying's direction curiously. The second child, Zhou Lintong, was still young, and Li Ying didn't take him out very often. Su Zipei had seen Lin Yu, but not Lin Tong, so she was curious.

I don't know what it's like to be a father, but Li Ying looks very happy.Moreover, the brothers here are not painted, and they are not girly at all. On the contrary, they can work in the fields and do housework, which is very good.

On the contrary, Su Zipei was not as worried as before. He was mostly curious. He was still a boy, but he was able to have children.

Zhou Chengyu saw Su Zipei's eyes from the corner of his eye, and looked at his bowl. He really ate a lot, so he reached out and squeezed his palm: "Zipei, do you want to see the baby?"

Only then did Zhou Chengzhi come to his senses, and smiled brightly: "I was negligent. If Zipei likes children, go and have a look. The first room on the right is the one, but children tend to cry more."

Su Zipei was a little surprised when he heard the words, and stared at Zhou Chengyu with almond eyes: "Is it possible? Will it disturb the big brother?"

"No, but I have to drink a bowl of soup when I come out later." Zhou Chengyu helped him decide in a "democratic" way, and seeing Su Zipei's expression for a moment, it was funny again, "Okay, let's go, I'll let you eat It's like feeding you poison."

"Yeah." Su Zipei nodded lightly, and smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Chengzhi, "Then, big brother, you talk to Chengyu, I'll go and have a look."

After Su Zipei left, Zhou Chengzhi said to his younger brother while feeding his son: "Don't be too aggressive, you should control your temper at ordinary times. He has no relatives and no reason, and it is a good thing that he is willing to follow you. From now on, the two of you can live a good life, ah Father will be at ease knowing."

"...Am I very fierce?" Zhou Chengyu really couldn't tell, did he look like a bad guy? "Besides, he is willing. If I don't care about him, brother, do you think he will drink medicine and eat?"

Zhou Chengzhi glanced at him suspiciously, taking it as acquiescence: "Don't talk about it, what are you going to do in the future? After marrying your husband, you will have to spend more money. You can't just do nothing like before. Before you And I don’t need a field. Or you can follow me and learn to be a bricklayer, just work harder.”

"Don't, don't—" Zhou Chengyu rubbed his nose, and declined, "I don't like architecture, if you can't do it, you should do it yourself, brother. I've already thought about it, and I will make wood carvings or root carvings and sell them."

"What?" Zhou Chengzhi was puzzled.

When it comes to the things he likes, Zhou Chengyu is more talkative than usual, and he introduced wood carving and root carving to his elder brother in an orderly manner, and he talked clearly and logically.

"Is it feasible to carve wood? You have to know it yourself, don't just stick it upside down." Zhou Chengzhi said, it was the first time he heard that wood can make so many things, and he didn't say anything else, anyway, young people, let him It's good to try it.

Zhou Chengyu smiled confidently: "It's definitely possible. I'll go to town in a few days to see the market, and I'll try it first."

In the room, Li Ying was holding the baby and feeding the milk, the smile on his face was undiminished, he was very content with having a husband and a child, and not worrying about life.Su Zipei stood at the door and knocked lightly: "Brother, can I come in?"

"Hey, why are you here? Come in quickly." Li Ying smiled, hugged the child in her arms, and beckoned him to sit down by the bed.

The baby in his arms was pink and tender, wrapped in swaddling clothes, with thick hair and chubby little hands, babbling and talking to himself, Li Ying moved gently from side to side, and fed the milk in the bowl by the way .

Su Zipei looked at the baby who was babbling and drinking milk, and felt a little strange: "This is the three-month-old Lin Tong? What is he eating now?"

"Milk, produced by the cows at home." Li Ying smiled, "If you give birth to a child in the future, ask Chengyu to buy you a cow to raise. You can not only feed the child, but also eat it by yourself. It is good for your body. Well, goat's milk is also fine, and when the child is a month old, he can feed some rice cereal."

"Ah? Do I want to eat too?" Su Zipei trembled a little when he heard that he wanted to eat. He always felt that milk was fishy and he didn't like it.

"It's so stupid, how can you take care of your children if you don't eat more? A man wants to go out to make money, like our family has no elders to help take care of the children, so we can only take care of the children by ourselves?" Li Ying chuckled, "Sometimes When farming is busy, you have to drag your children to the fields to look at the rice seedlings.”

"...Yes, is it difficult?" Su Zipei swallowed, he was afraid that if he was too stupid, he would not only be unable to help Cheng Yu, but would actually drag him down.

"You'll know when you become a father. You don't have to worry about going anywhere, especially if the child is more noisy. You will always worry about it wherever you go. Especially during childbirth, it is also a big difficulty." Li Ying chatted with him, not knowing Why did you talk about having a baby?

Su Zipei listened carefully, with his brain bit by bit, even if he couldn't help Cheng Yu, at least he couldn't become a burden, he could remember as much as he could!

"However," Li Ying looked at him with a smile, "take good care of your body now, then it won't be so hard, and there is nothing to teach you. When you have a child, it will come naturally."

"Ah?" Su Zipei was a little guilty, and others would get used to it naturally, but it didn't apply to him, because he was really not good at these things.

"Would you like to hug Xiao Tong?" Li Ying looked curiously at him. It happened that the child had already been fed and stopped eating. He quietly gnawed his fingers in Father's arms.

Although Su Zipei wanted to hug him, but it was such a small ball, he was afraid that if he accidentally smashed it, it would be bad.But before he finished struggling, Li Ying put the child in his arms, and stretched out his hand to correct his posture: "Place your hands like this, hold them up, or the child will fall off if it moves."

Su Zipei held the baby nervously, for fear that he would drop the baby if he was not careful. Fortunately, the baby in his arms didn't move too much, and stayed in his arms very quietly, with a pair of dark eyes still looking at him curiously. .

Su Zipei looked at it with joy, stretched out his hand to gently shake his chubby little hand, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, Lin Tong's hand is so small, so soft, so cute."

Li Ying also laughed when she heard this, and tied the bib on the child's chest: "After I like children, I will have more children with Cheng Yu. Watching them grow up is also amazing."

Su Zipei responded lightly, his ears were a little hot, and he handed the child back to him: "If I don't understand anything in the future, come to my brother-in-law, brother-in-law, don't think I'm annoying, I'm stupid."

"What are you talking about? Of course not. You can come over if you have nothing to do. Will I chase you away?" Li Ying laughed.

Su Zipei happily agreed. After coming here for so long, apart from Cheng Yu, the man he has come into contact with the most is this brother-in-law who made clothes for him. At first, he was really afraid of troubling others, but Li Ying has a good temper , chatting together, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Su Zipei stayed in the room for a while, and they didn't go out together until Li Ying put the child to sleep.At the dinner table, Zhou Chengyu and the others were already full, and the dishes were still there, waiting for the two of them to come back to continue eating. It's summer now, and it won't get cold too quickly.

When Su Zipei walked in, he saw a bowl of soup hanging in front of Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu ate very quickly and would not stay for long, so it was for him.He walked over to Chengyu and sat down next to him, looking at the dishes left in the bowl, with a small face on his shoulders, and the movements of holding the chopsticks showed a sense of grievance.

Just picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and took away his bowl with one hand, replaced by a bowl full of soup, Zhou Chengyu put the soup in front of him, quite funny: "Just drink the soup, tonight You're very good, I won't force you to finish the food."

Su Zipei was very happy to be able to eat less. The little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, picked up the bowl and drank lightly.

Li Ying looked amused in his heart. The young couple got along with each other in a new way. Their personalities complemented each other. One had a tougher temper, while Zipei was softer and easy to talk. They probably wouldn't quarrel in the future.

"In a few days, I will go to the matchmaker's father and ask him to propose marriage, but Zipei lives with Chengyu, how can this be better?" Li Ying asked.

"...Uh." Zhou Chengyu was rarely stopped by the question, how did he know what to do?He is a modern person and cannot do these things.

"It's just a formality, just go through the ceremony at home and let everyone know." Zhou Chengzhi said.
