Rural Scenery of Rebirth

On the New Year's Eve, Deng Deng woke up early in the morning. Xia Chen didn't sleep after feeding his son milk powder, but lay beside him, singing "babbling" and sleeping in his arms. Inside, twisting and turning, the calf kicked from time to time.

Xia Chen patted and coaxed sleepily, just not sleeping honestly.

Deng Deng didn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

Xia Chen pinched Dengdeng's little nose pretending to be angry, and said angrily to him, "I know you're making trouble with Dad early in the morning, so you're not good at all."

Deng Deng raised his two little paws, patted his father's hand, and said "ah" several times, which obviously meant to let his father let him go quickly.

Xia Chen didn't exert any force at all with his hands. He didn't expect the little thing to be so small and quite angry. He lowered his head and kissed his son's tender face fiercely, and got up with the little thing in his arms.

Xia Chen first dressed her son. It was a small red padded jacket. Jiang's mother specially made it for her grandson. The cotton cloth felt very soft, warm and comfortable, but the style looked a bit old.But the child is only a few months old, and Dengden's skin is fair, and he doesn't look rustic at all when he wears it, like a New Year's doll, which looks very cute.

After Deng Deng got dressed, Xia Chen put him on the bed, picked up the red down jacket that Lei Jun had prepared in advance at the end of the bed, and put it on himself.

Both father and son are wearing red clothes, standing together, it really looks like a father and son outfit.

Xia Chen's red mid-length down jacket was specially bought by Lei Jun in City C after Deng Deng was born last time because of the cold weather.

One for each of them, Xia Chen's is the smallest size, his is the largest size.

In fact, Xia Chen didn't know Lei Jun's thoughts.

The exact same clothes, if the two of them wear them out, it's like a couple's outfit.

Deng Deng was dressed too thickly, lay flat on the bed, could not move, looked at his father, and called out "Yi Ya".

Xia Chen quickly put on her clothes and picked up her son. As for the messy bed, there is definitely no way to tidy it up now.

When the two father and son were about to go downstairs, Lei Jun came up from downstairs.

Hearing footsteps, Xia Chen looked back at him.

"Wake up so early?" Lei Jun came over and asked.

Xia Chen looked at him, and said helplessly, "Your son is so noisy, he wants to continue sleeping, but he just moves around in my arms, making it so noisy that people can't sleep at all."

"Ah." Deng Deng called out to Lei Jun as if responding to his father's words.

Lei Jun smiled and took Deng Deng, who was waving his hands in Xia Chen's arms, and hugged him. "Sister-in-law cooked porridge in the morning, and when you wake up, let's go downstairs and have breakfast."

"Well, I'll go downstairs after I've made the bed. You go down first with Deng Deng in your arms, and take his baby bottle with you by the way. Remember to feed him some water. I'll come down after I make it up." Xia Chen grabbed his son's hand She squeezed her little hand and said.

"Okay, hurry up." Lei Jun kissed him on the lips, picked up two feeding bottles on the bedside table, one for milk and one for water, and went downstairs first.

Xia Chen watched the father and son leave, first tidied the quilt on the bed, walked to the door, changed the slippers on the feet, put on the cotton boots placed on the shoe cabinet, swept the room, looked Have you forgotten anything about Dengden? No, go downstairs.

When we got downstairs, the TV blared loudly, and happy music was playing inside.

Mr. Lei held Deng Deng in his arms, and Lei Jun fed him water.

With a smile on her face, Lei Xin sat aside, watching Deng Deng drinking water.

Deng Deng took a few sips, then refused to drink any more, closed his mouth, and refused to suck on the pacifier.

Lei Jun didn't force him, picked up the lid on the side, and covered the bottle to avoid dust and bacteria.

There are several hot and sour dishes on the table, all of which Xia Chen likes.

This morning, the meat porridge that Li Wenli specially cooked was very fragrant. He could smell it upstairs.

Seeing him, Jiang Shufen smiled and said, "Today your sister-in-law cooked the meat porridge early in the morning, you can eat more later."

Xia Chen smiled at her and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go to the kitchen and wash my hands first."

"Go." Jiang Shufen smiled and nodded.

Xia Chen walked into the kitchen, washed his hands first, and then helped his sister-in-law take the dishes and chopsticks into the main room.

Lei Shan came in from outside the yard, holding a fishing rod and a bucket in his hand.

Seeing him, Li Wenli hurriedly said, "Don't be so busy, let's eat."

"Eat first, I'll put the fishing rod in the house." Lei Shan nodded to her, put down the bucket in his hand, and went to the utility room to put the fishing rod.

Xia Chen saw that there were several crucian carp in the bucket, and they kept trying to jump out, splashing a large amount of water.

Xia Chen lightly bumped Lei Jun who was standing beside him with his hand, and asked, "Brother, did you go to the fish pond this morning?"

After hearing what he said, Lei Jun replied directly: "Well, Mom said that I want to use crucian carp to make sweet and sour fish at noon. Don't you like it, so I asked my elder brother to remove it."

"The fish in the morning are so easy to drop, and the elder brother really dropped all the crucian carp." Brother Lei Shan is also too good. That day he and Lei Jun removed only three grass carp, but not a single crucian carp.

"Big Brother used to take care of the fish pond, so he naturally has a solution." Lei Jun smiled and said.

Xia Chen is convinced that the eldest brother has rich experience in raising fish, and he must have his know-how in this area.

The meals were all ready, and the family sat around the table, eating breakfast lively.

Xia Chen has a good appetite and ate two bowls of meat porridge in the morning.

During the meal, Deng Deng was the most noisy in Lei Jun's arms, with his eyes rolling, he kept staring at the porridge in the bowls of the two fathers, obviously wanting to have a bite.

Seeing him like this, Xia Chen dipped his chopsticks into the soup in the bowl, wanting to feed him a taste.

However, before he put his chopsticks into Deng Deng's mouth, he was stopped by Jiang's mother.

"Xiaochen, Dengdeng is less than four months old, and his stomach is still relatively weak. Your sister-in-law put salt in this porridge, so you can't eat it for now. After Dengdeng has passed four months, cook white porridge for him alone. Him." Jiang Shufen was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so she hurriedly explained to him.

Xia Chen shyly retracted the chopsticks, not looking at Deng Deng's pitiful little eyes, thinking, it's not that Dad doesn't feed you, it's that you are too young to eat.

Lei Jun also gave him a funny look.

Xia Chen glared at him and continued eating porridge.

After breakfast, Jiang's mother remembered that the Spring Festival couplets she had bought hadn't been posted yet, so she went to the kitchen to make rice milk.

Xia Chen hurriedly took on this task, he had never pasted Spring Festival couplets with his own hands.

After a while, Xia Chen took Lei Jun with him, he held Spring Festival couplets in his hand, followed by Lei Xin, who was carrying a large bowl of rice milk, and the three of them went to put up Spring Festival couplets outside the yard together.

Deng Deng is taken by the old man, so he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

To the outside of the yard.

Lei Jun was the tallest, in charge of pasting Spring Festival couplets, Xia Chen was in charge of brushing the rice milk, and Lei Xin was in charge of serving the bowls. The division of labor between the three was very even.

Lei Jun was about to stick Xia Chen's Spring Festival couplets on the wall.

Xia Chen stood behind him, looked up and down, and hurriedly said: "A little bit to the left, it's all crooked."

Lei Jun smiled when he heard what he said, and moved to the left.

Lei Jun found a good place and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Okay." Xia Chen nodded behind him.

After Lei Jun heard his answer, he posted the Spring Festival couplets.

As soon as all the Spring Festival couplets outside the yard were pasted up, there was the sound of a car on the road behind.

A few days ago, I heard from Jiang's mother that the eldest sister and brother-in-law's family will come back to celebrate the New Year together today.

Xia Chen has been here for so long, and I also heard Lei Jun talk about the life experience of his elder brother-in-law Huo Jianhua. He knows that his parents are gone. His father died of illness when he was in his teens, and his mother also died of illness a few years ago.

Huo Jianhua had just passed his adult birthday. In order to reduce the burden on his family, he signed up to be a soldier. When he returned from the army, he was in the countryside and had passed the marriageable age. .

Huo Jianhua fell in love with the eldest sister at first sight.

The same is true for the eldest sister, the two fell in love at first sight.

With the consent of the two families, they got married soon.

For the eldest brother-in-law Huo Jianhua, Xia Chen could clearly see that the old couple were very satisfied.

As for Huo Jianhua's family members, his parents passed away one after another, and now there is only one eldest sister who is married to another province and is still far away. The most common contact is to make a phone call.

Since the eldest sister's mother-in-law passed away, except for the first two years, the couple did not return to Leijia Village for the New Year.

In the past few years, under the insistence of Jiang Shufen and Mr. Lei, Lei Xiu and Huo Jianhua brought their two sons back to Lei's house every year.

Therefore, Xia Chen and Lei Jun didn't enter the yard when they heard the sound of the car.

The two turned around and looked at the car on the road at the same time.

The car came here and stopped quickly.

As soon as the car door was opened, Xia Chen saw the twins jump out of the car, saw him and Lei Jun, and ran over quickly.

Then, Huo Jianhua and Lei Xiu also got out of the car with a lot of things.

The two got out of the car and did not leave. Standing in front of the car door, Huo Jianhua looked into the car, as if talking to someone.

The family dawdling in the car made Lei Xiu's expression obviously a little unsightly.

"I'll pick up my brother-in-law and the others." Lei Jun said to Xia Chen.

Xia Chen nodded, and he walked directly to where the eldest brother-in-law and the others were standing.

When the twins met Lei Jun, they stopped running and shouted to him in unison: "Third Uncle."

Lei Jun patted their heads and told them to go back to the yard first.

The twins happily agreed, and continued to run in front of Xia Chen.

The two boys ran forward, each took his hand, and called out affectionately: "Uncle."

Xia Chen smiled at them, glanced in the direction of the car, and saw Lei Jun walking beside the eldest sister and the others, so she decided to take the twins into the main room first.

At this time, Xia Chen obviously heard Deng Deng's familiar dry howling in the house, and must have missed him, and made a fuss.

Xia Chen turned around and walked in with the three children.

After entering the courtyard, the twins let go of him, and walked in front with sister Lei Xin, and the three children rushed into the main room talking and laughing.

Xia Chen followed behind with the remaining unfinished couplets.

As soon as Xia Chen walked into the main room.

Sure enough, Deng Deng spotted him at a glance, and stretched out his hand in his direction, without shedding a single tear on his face, he was such a small thing that thunder does not rain.

Xia Chen put down the couplet in his hand, walked over, took Deng Deng from the old man, and hugged him.

Denden was immediately happy, and called out to his father "babbling", which made his face drool.

Jiang Shufen had a conversation with her two grandsons, and seeing that the youngest son didn't come back with her, she asked him, "Xiaojun picked up his elder sister and brother-in-law?" She also heard the sound of the car just now.

Xia Chen nodded to her and said, "Elder Sister and the others have brought a lot of things."

"Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt have come back with us." At this time, Huo Fei suddenly said to Grandma.

Huo Xiang continued his brother's words and said: "Yuanyuan has been making trouble in the car, the second aunt has been coaxing her, and she still kept crying when she got out of the car. Mom and Dad have to wait for the second uncle and second aunt, let us go first." let's go."

As soon as he heard that the second child's family had returned, Mr. Lei's face darkened on the spot.

The author has something to say: Huahua is indeed the driving force of codewords.
