Dabao wants to be autistic: "Can't you help me just once?"
Geng Zhiye: "Why is your mother not allowed to do this and not to do that? Isn't it true that I don't have points?"
Dabao lowered his head to look at himself who was so short that he would drown if he fell into the kitchen vat. He didn't want to pay attention to his father and only said some heart-wrenching words.
Geng Zhiye put down Erbao, gave her a bench, asked her to stand next to Dabao, and then took out the vegetables from the cupboard.
Dabao reminded him that there were razor clams in the basin under the chopping board.
"Why are you buying razor clams again?" Geng Zhiye took out the basin.
Dabao: "Mom only knows a few things you taught her. I want long fish, but mom can't do it."
"Are you hairtail fish? It's delicious when fried. We're almost out of oil." Geng Zhiye thought about what other fish there were, "I'll buy snails and oysters tomorrow, and then buy another one——"
Dabao: "Crucian carp!"
"There are too many thorns for you two to eat."
"But grandma did it."
Geng Zhiye: "Crucian carp is fat in winter and there is little seafood in the capital. Your grandma has no choice. Let's buy shrimps. Did your mother make them?"
Dabao snorted angrily and said, "It's boiled. Mom said it tastes delicious. Of course she made it delicious."
Geng Zhiye wanted to laugh: "Is your little conscience saying that shrimp is not delicious?"
Dabao thought it didn’t taste good, but surprisingly, it tasted delicious even after being boiled in water: “Dad, mommy doesn’t know how to cook.”
Geng Zhiye heard what he meant. Ye Fanfan's cooking skills were not good enough to cook shrimps in plain water. "Fresh ingredients don't need a lot of seasoning. For example, the sea bass my father bought before he left home didn't even taste good when steamed." Put a lot of stuff in.”
Dabao was confused: "The capital is so big, but the food is not good?"
Geng Zhiye: "The fastest time from catching fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs here to being served on the table is three hours, maybe two hours. The seafood in the capital has not left Tianjin for two or three hours."
Dabao seemed to understand: "Didn't my mother's cooking skills become better?"
Geng Zhiye wondered: "Is mom good at cooking? Although dad is a regiment leader and a soldier, he needs to board the ship for patrol. He will be away for several days. What will you eat if mom can't cook?"
How could Dabao not understand such a simple truth, "Mom is good at cooking and her tail is raised to the sky."
Geng Zhiye could totally imagine Ye Fan's triumphant look and took the opportunity to deal with Geng Dabao: "You can pretend not to see it, eat and drink when you should. Anyway, your mother doesn't dare to make you hungry."
"She dares! No one can control her, Ye Fanfan dares to do anything!" Dabao said loudly.
Geng Zhiye took out the washed razor clams and said, "Unless you violate the law again, your mother wouldn't dare. I know her."
"I know her!"
Geng Zhiye: "She is my wife. We have known each other for seven years. Where were you seven years ago?"
"I——" Seven years ago, Dabao was waiting in line on the Naihe Bridge to be reincarnated. Dabao's "I" can't come out, "You help mom bully me! I want to tell grandma, tell grandpa, tell grandparents, tell my aunt and uncle!"
Geng Zhiye poured the dirty water into the bucket and started washing vegetables, "Dabao, it seems that the vegetables were not bought in the market?"
"I don't know!" Dabao said without even looking.
Children should vent their anger, otherwise they may become angry with their parents if they hold it in for too long. Geng Zhiye smiled nonchalantly: "Er Bao, tell daddy."
"Don't say it!"
Geng Zhiye: "It seems that I didn't buy it. Who gave it to me?" The chief of staff's lover is a worker's son and is not good at growing vegetables. The vegetables at Political Commissar Liao’s house haven’t grown yet. It has been four months since the troops were sent here, and it has been less than three months since the family members moved here. People who have grown vegetables in such a short time are not only hardworking, but also good at growing them, "Comrade Liu Guihua."
< br>
Dabao opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth.
Erbao looked at his brother with a puzzled face, but Erbao didn't say anything.
Geng Zhiye asked with a smile: "Do you want to know how dad guessed it?"
Dabao wants to know, but doesn't want to give in.
As a four-year-old, there is no need to follow him on the line. Geng Zhiye continued: "Your mother had no friends when she arrived here. There were only a handful of people delivering food to her, probably the ones waiting to press the water. Among those people, only Liu Guihua had been in the countryside before joining the army. 90% of the people in rural areas Nine people know how to farm.”
Dabao was unconvinced: "Sister Miao Miao has food at home."
"They haven't grown up yet. These vegetables are so long without the roots and so high including the roots." Geng Zhiye gestured on the ground, "Geng Dabao, daddy is teaching you another lesson. What should you say?"
< br>
Geng Dabao: "You are my father, you, you -"
"Should I teach you?"
Geng Dabao nodded: "Yes! Also, I forgot what uncle said." He was very annoyed when he said the last three words.
Geng Zhiye: "Is it my duty to give you some advice?"
Dabao's eyes lit up: "Dad, does he know?"
"I understand everything your uncle understands, and I understand what he doesn't understand." Geng Zhiye opened the cupboard again, "Want to eat rice or noodles?"
Dabao: “Eat steamed buns!”
It seems that my son really doesn’t like rice. Geng Zhiye asked: "Has Fanfan ever made egg fried rice?"
Dabao and Dabao shook their heads together: "No way, Fanfan!"
Ye Fan came in: "What can't I do?"
Dabao: "If dad doesn't teach you, will you make tofu fish?"
Ye Fan wanted to sew his little mouth shut. Although he was four years old, he could still speak louder than a forty-year-old.
"I can knit sweaters, can your dad?"
Dabao shook his head: "Dad didn't say he could."
Ye Fan was heartbroken: "Geng Zhiye, go to the hospital and find someone who will obey you."
Dabao asked curiously: "Didn't I pick it up from the garbage dump?"
Ye Fan suddenly became so angry that his body shook. Geng Zhiye subconsciously gave her a hand. Ye Fan froze, obviously not expecting him to take action. Geng Zhiye realized that she was pretending, and he was angry and funny: "Stand still."
"Geng Dabao can't have it anymore."
Geng Zhiye took out the steamed buns: "Let me ask you first, are you talking nonsense to him again?"
Dabao nodded: "Dad, you are not at home. Mom lies to me and my sister every day. Yesterday, she said that Erbao and I were picked from the garbage. The day before yesterday, she said that she picked it up at the train station. She also said that someone gave it to her. Mom, I If you want a younger brother, go get one.”
Ye Fan is so annoyed.
"Geng Dabao, aren't you tired of talking so much?"
Dabao is not tired, Dabao is thirsty. But his mother wouldn't allow him to pour water himself, so he told his father that he was thirsty.
Ye Fan: "Bear it!"
"What are you talking about?" Geng Zhiye pulled her, "Heat up the steamed buns." He waved to the two children, "Follow me."
Dabao and Erbao followed him to the living room.
The two thermos bottles were under the coffee table. Geng Zhiye moved them to the dining table against the wall: "Fanfan, don't put the thermos bottles under the coffee table in the future. They will be easily kicked over."
"I know." Ye Fan didn't need to worry about such trivial matters before, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
Geng Zhiye looked around: "Be careful and don't let Dabao and Erbao touch the scissors and kitchen knives."
Dabao: "I won't touch it!"
Erbao nodded: "Cut your hands!"
Geng Zhiye: "You two are good boys. Would you like some milk powder?"
Dabao went back to the house and opened his small cupboard to hold a box of milk powder: "Mom said you can't drink too much."
"I'm worried that you and Erbao won't be hungry after drinking too much. If you want to be as tall as your parents, you need to eat more vegetables and meat. Dabao, do you know why your mother likes to cook fish and shrimp?"
Dabao nodded: "Because there is meat. But I want to eat, I want to eat braised chicken."
Erbao added loudly: "Roast duck!"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "There is no roast duck or braised chicken here. But you can ask Fanfan to take you to the fishing village." After returning the milk powder to Dabao, who sent it to the house, Geng Zhiye took the two children back to the kitchen, "Fanfan, although It cannot be bought or sold privately, but it can be exchanged for something.”
Ye Fan understood instantly: "I will find the commune secretary tomorrow."
Geng Zhiye almost bit his tongue: "That's not what I meant."
"Don't worry about it. I have more experience in this matter than you. I promise that no one will find fault with me." Ye Fan looked at the two children, "I just listened to you two outside, what did you say about me?"
< br>
Dabao took a sip of milk powder and handed it to his sister's mouth: "Drink quickly."
Geng Zhiye shook his head and smiled: "Why are there so many people today? Didn't you call me?"
Ye Fan went out with a bucket to press water for cooking, and happened to meet Liao Miaomiao and her younger siblings to play with Dabao and Erbao. The little girl is warm-hearted and wants to help Ye Fan press the water. Ye Fan said smoothly that he could come to her house to pump water in the future.
The golden crow fell in the west, and many military wives came out to fetch water. Liao Miaomiao's mother Zhuang Qiuyue is one of them. Liao Miaomiao waved to her mother. Liu Guihua, who lives behind Geng's house, passed by Geng's house and saw this scene. No one called her, so she was embarrassed to come in, so she asked the lover of the chief of staff on the other side of Geng's house if there was still water in the tank.
Liu Guihua was talking to the people in the yard next door at the door of Geng's house. Her voice was as loud as a loudspeaker. Ye Fan could hear her clearly in the yard. If she couldn't pretend to be blind, she asked them to press the water from home. Zhuang Qiuyue was the only one in the courtyard, so others were embarrassed. There are more people, and embarrassment also comes with company - seven or eight military wives and a group of children came to Wuyangyang.
When Geng Zhiye arrived home, several people had already packed up and gone home.
Liu Guihua believed that the Geng family's water was private and she felt guilty about taking it away, so she planned to give Ye Fan a handful of home-grown vegetables.
Liu Guihua used a pressure well for the first time, thinking that just like well water, many people could drain the water. Her family still needed four buckets of water. She was anxious and impatient, so she took a little bit of water and cut off a lot of vegetables with a sickle.
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but interrupt when Ye Fan said this: "No wonder this handful of vegetables has no roots. Oh, no, how do you know she is worried that the water in the pressure well has dried up?"
Dabao: "Aunt Osmanthus said that. Aunt Osmanthus said, "There is still water."
Geng Zhiye looked at Ye Fan: "What are you saying?"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him: "How can I say what's wrong with her in front of so many people? Miaomiao said she has a loud voice and says what's wrong with her every day."
Dabao nodded: "Aunt Zhuang doesn't allow Sister Miaomiao to say anything."
Ye Fan: "Then you still say it?"
"There is no one else. Dad, do you want to tell Aunt Guihua?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "But you can't say that. Because the walls have ears. Annoy, light the small pot and I'll cook."
Liu Guihua's vegetables are very tender. Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye to boil them in water, and the razor clams were also boiled in water.
Dabao stood up in anger: "Mom!"
Ye Fan was startled: "What happened to you?"
Geng Zhiye asked his son to sit down: "What's the hurry? I'm cooking, and my mother says to boil it, so I boil it?"
Dabao looked at him sideways, looking exactly like Ye Fan sometimes. Geng Zhiye couldn't help but laugh: "Dad promises to make it different from what mom made." Ye Fan understood: "Don't you want to eat boiled food? Geng Dabao, you ungrateful brat, I want to keep the original taste of the ingredients."
Dabao didn’t understand: “If you don’t know how to do it, you can just say it.”
Ye Fan choked for a moment: "Want to rebel? Why haven't I seen you picky about food before? Geng Da——"
"Excuse me!" Geng Zhiye interrupted, "How many times have you cooked before? How old are you, and how old is Dabao?"
Dabao nodded: "Mom, the big one bullies the small ones!"
"Stop saying a few words!" Geng Zhiye glared at his son, "I have seen brothers and sisters pinch each other as soon as they open their mouths, but I have never seen a mother and son pinch each other every day. Are you proud of winning? Dabao, your mother is so angry, you Are you happy?”
Dabao blinked, his mother is so powerful, how can he make her sick?
Geng Zhiye choked when he saw this, Dabao didn't have this ability. Ye Fan couldn't tolerate him. He was so angry that he had to give Dabao a few blows to vent his anger.
Erbao got up, took his brother's hand, and then his mother's hand: "Shake hands, good friends."
Ye Fan and Dabao were stunned.
Geng Zhiye laughed out loud: "Look at how well-behaved Er Bao is. You two should learn from Er Bao."
Erbao nodded: "Fanfan, Dabao, learn from me!"
"What a beautiful thought!"
The mother and son had a perfect understanding, and they pulled back their hands and glared at Erbao.
Erbao looked at his father helplessly, and he tried his best.
Geng Zhiye sighed: "You should calm down. Fanfan, put two pieces of firewood, Dabao, watch the fire."
Ye became annoyed: "What am I doing?"
"I'll make a sauce, you watch." Geng Zhiye gave her a head of garlic, "You will use this sauce for boiling in the future. I see there is sesame oil in the cabinet. Did you buy it these days?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Give them some steamed egg custard. It's actually more expensive than the capital."
Geng Zhiye: "Everything that needs to be transported from the shore is expensive. Dabao, doesn't mom love you?"
Dabao shook his head: "I didn't say mom doesn't love me. Mom, can you not be angry with me?"
Ye Fan: "Can you not be angry with me?"
Yes, the conversation broke down again. Geng Zhiye had no choice but to laugh again: "It would be better if you both said less." Seeing that Ye Fan was struggling to peel the garlic, Geng Zhiye took it and flattened it with a knife and handed it to Ye Fan. Ye Fan suddenly realized: "No wonder Comrade Tao Chunlan shoots the garlic first every time."
Dabao saw that his mother didn’t understand: “Dad, are you better at cooking than mom?”
Geng Zhiye: "Your mother used to be weak, and your grandparents didn't dare to ask her to work. When I was a child, your aunt needed someone to take care of her. Your grandma couldn't take care of cooking, your grandpa was busy at work, and your uncle went to university to live on campus, right?" If I do it, your second uncle will do it.”
Dabao looked at his mother: "But mother is fine."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "She is fine now. She is as old as you and Erbao and often goes to the hospital."
Dabao looked suspicious.
Geng Zhiye: "You can ask grandma for confirmation."
Dabao couldn't help but not believe it when he said this: "Fanfan, let's make peace."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, took out the razor clams, washed the pot, poured water and blanch the vegetables.
Dabao spread his hands and looked at his father. You saw it, right?
Geng Zhiye: "Look, if you don't talk, there won't be a quarrel."
"Dad, I don't blame you for helping Fanfan."
Geng Zhiye did not answer: "Is there still fire under the pot?"
Dabao stuffed a small wooden stick and said, "There are only a few firewood left."
Ye Fan took the opportunity and said to Geng Zhiye: "Miaomiao's mother asked me to go up the mountain with her to collect firewood. But what will they do if I'm not at home?"
Geng Zhiye asked Dabao: "The door is locked from the outside. Are you and Erbao playing in the courtyard?"
Dabao nodded: "Mom, please come back soon."
Geng Zhiye: "Dad will be back at noon."
"Okay!" Dabao faced Ye Fan, am I obedient?
Ye Fan ignored him. Geng Zhiye praised him for being obedient, and then told Ye Fan that he would give the cooking team dozens of dollars and they would deliver coal and stoves in the next few days. Once he has finished briquettes, he won't have to worry about running out of firewood at home.
"When will the toilet be built? Bricks and cement have been delivered." Ye Fan asked.
Geng Zhiye: "The moon is bright in the middle of the month. The political commissar and the chief of staff and I built it in an hour or two. After we built it, we built it for them."
Ye Fan remembered that that day he vaguely heard Political Commissar Liao exclaiming, "There is a typhoon." "Didn't Political Commissar Liao grow up by the sea?"
"My hometown has mountains but no sea. I grew up by the lake. I used to be a soldier in the southwest. The chief of staff is from Bincheng in the north, and so is his wife. If you don't know how to cook the seafood you bought, you can ask them." Geng Zhiye poured the juice on the razor clams. Leave some more to pour over the green vegetables.
Dabao took his sister to the living room to pull out the table and bench.
When Geng Zhiye heard the noise, he glanced towards the living room and whispered: "Dabao is so sensible."
"You're just too sensible." Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "I treat myself as an adult every day. I don't look like a child at all."
Geng Zhiye laughed: "Don't be dissatisfied. The same rice can feed all kinds of people. Besides, are you satisfied if I ask you to hug me or urinate in mud every day?"
Ye Fan imagined it and shuddered.
Geng Zhiye gave her two pots of vegetables: "Wash your hands, Dabao and Erbao. I'll take out the steamed buns. Don't come in."
Ye Fan took them to the water well. He pressed water with one hand and took Dabao's hand with the other to wash his hands. He wiped Dabao clean and washed Erbao again. The hand washing water flowed down the hook into the vegetable field.
Geng Zhiye came out to find the mother and son before they saw the land between the pressure well and the fence where vegetables were being planted: "Did you grow it?"
Ye Fan: "Miaomiao's mother helped me plant it together. I plan to plant all the land to the east in the next few days."
"Take your time. Dabao and Erbao are still young, and I'm often away from home. It doesn't cost much to buy food." Geng Zhiye picked up Dabao, and Ye Fan picked up Erbao, and the family went back to the house to eat.
After the meal, Geng Zhiye cleaned up the kitchen and boiled hot water.
The family washes cleanly and uses clean firewood. Geng Zhiye realized for the first time that he had to make briquettes quickly. But before that there is one more thing. Geng Zhiye put the two children to sleep and handed the letter to Ye Fan in the bedroom.
Ye Fan looked at the wrinkles on the letter: "I thought you didn't plan to give it to me."
Geng Zhiye was shocked: "How did you know???"
Ye Fan opened it and said, "You bent over while cooking and the envelope was exposed from your trouser pocket. We just came out of the house, and your dad wouldn't be so anxious to write you a letter. If Aunt Yu or Xiaoqin has something to do, they will send a telegram." There is no need to come back and open the letter from your friend and comrade. After removing these impossibilities, there is only one possibility left.”
Geng Zhiye lifted up the quilt and sat down: "I'm afraid my mother-in-law wants you to ask you to go back."
"She is ignorant, and my sister-in-law and my father will not let her go."
Geng Zhiye: "What does the letter say?"
Ye Fan frowned: "It seems that one sentence has become a prophecy."
Geng Zhiye took it over and wrote at the beginning that she was worried that Ye Fan didn't know how to sew quilts and sent them two new quilts. Geng Zhiye was not surprised at all. Ye Fan was eighty years old, and in the eyes of Comrade Tao Chunlan, she was still a little girl who needed her care.
In the middle, I express my longing for Dabao and Erbao. It was said that Dabao and Erbao were not at home, and the house was so quiet that even words echoed. Geng Zhiye thought that Geng Dabao could be a judge in the future. The plaintiff and defendant's lawyers were speechless by him, and the efficiency of case judgment would be greatly improved, which would definitely save the country a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
Seeing the words "Chen Xiaohui", Geng Zhiye raised his eyebrows and turned to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan: "Did you see it?"
"Chen Xiaohui goes back to the house as soon as she gets off work, and won't come out to eat without asking her? My mother-in-law suspects that she looks like an old woman? Is that an exaggeration? You used to -"
Ye Fan nodded: "I don't do much washing and cooking, but when Comrade Tao Chunlan was washing clothes, I pressed the water, and I passed the spatula to her while she was cooking. She washed the dishes and pots, and I chatted with her."
"She can stay in Shencheng if she doesn't want to go back to the Ye family. As long as the father-in-law and mother-in-law are very cruel, when Chen Xiaohui said she was just coming over for a visit, my mother-in-law would tell her that she was happy." Ye Fan told Geng Zhiye that Chen Xiaohui was not convinced. , "She wanted my mother-in-law on both sides and didn't say anything."
Ye Fan: "On the day we arrived, she knew how to carry the package in her car, and she didn't leave until we got on the bus. She didn't seem to think of herself as a young lady. Is there some misunderstanding? It's easy for people to have random thoughts when they are suddenly free. Besides, my mother has always been Because you have a problem with Chen Xiaohui’s attitude. Send a letter to Xiaoqin and ask her what’s going on.”
Geng Zhiye nodded: "I'll write it right away."
The next morning, Geng Zhiye received a letter from his sister.
Political Commissar Liao handed over the schedule for next month: "We'll look at it after work. Take a look at this first."
Geng Zhiye glanced at it and shook his head: "Me, you and the chief of staff, one person for a week, each with a battalion commander."
"Where is Deputy Commander Niu? If he is not allowed to be on duty, there will be disagreements and complaints that we look down on him. When it comes to on-the-spot command, the chief of staff and I are not as good as him."
Geng Zhiye: "He has more military medals than me. I just graduated from the military school and went to the front line and he was the company commander. How come I am the chief and he is the deputy?"
Political Commissar Liao said without thinking: "Impulsive!"
"When I encounter bald people on patrol, they will deliberately provoke them. What do you think Lao Niu will do?"
Fuck you! Political Commissar Liao's mantra came to Deputy Commander Niu's mind. The same thing happened to the three of them, using loudspeakers to yell at each other. Although it is cowardly, with the current strength, I have to do this.
"Then you explain to him?"
Geng Zhiye stuffed the letter into his pocket, took the duty patrol list, and crossed out the three words "Niu Dayong". "It's true that Old Niu came here because he has a bad temper and a tough temper, but he is easy to coax. When we board the ship, just say you are at home." We have to keep someone on duty. If we are on duty day and night, it will be very troublesome if we can't think straight when there is an emergency."
Political Commissar Liao: "Why is it him?"
"He has rich experience and excellent physical fitness. I can rest assured that he is here. Besides, you didn't put him on duty during the New Year and the holidays?"
Political Commissar Liao had a complicated look on his face. All officers had to stand guard during the New Year and holidays.
"It's sophistry!"
Geng Zhiye refused to give in: "If you can't tell me, take him with you when you patrol, or ask the chief of staff to take him with you."
Political Commissar Liao scratched his nose and suggested in a low voice: "Actually, we don't need to board the ship."
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but exclaimed: "Still seasick?"
"Who said I'm seasick?" Political Commissar Liao asked hurriedly.
The door of the office was pushed open, and Vice Captain Niu stepped in: "Talk about you! Fortunately, you grew up by the lake."
"The lakeside is different from the sea!" Political Commissar Liao defended himself loudly, but unfortunately he was not straightforward and strong.
Geng Zhiye calmly stood up and hooked Deputy Commander Niu's shoulders. The two brothers said, "Ignore him." He was still stiff when he brought it to the table. He came just in time and was discussing the schedule. Lao Liao wanted you to lead the team alone, I think. If that doesn't work, go on patrol with him and ask him to adapt as soon as possible. I don't trust him to lead the team."
Deputy Captain Niu looked at the duty list, and his name was crossed out: "The captain is still thoughtful, but I don't trust him. He fainted when he encountered waves, and was sold to his hometown. Fellow.”
"Who are you calling a little devil?!" Political Commissar Liao slammed the table and got angry, "Just listen to him and sell you later, and you have to happily say thank you to him."
