Fortunately, Yaya is an easy baby to take care of and doesn’t cry every day, so it’s relatively easy for her to take care of her.
After Yaya ate rice porridge for two days, Fang Nuo started feeding her steamed eggs again, but as usual he didn't feed her much the first time.
After she has no reaction, slowly feed more.
Yaya's current appetite is only for one-third of an egg. Fang Nuo steams one every time. If the child can't finish it, she eats it herself.
It's just that Yaya can't eat all kinds of seasonings now. What she eats in her mouth is the taste of the food itself, and there is no saltiness or blandness.
But Yaya is still young and doesn’t know what salty taste is. She only knows that the new food is delicious and she eats it happily.
"Now that you're full, let's play by ourselves for a while while mommy puts away the dishes, okay?" Fang Nuo put down his spoon and said to Yaya
"Ah...ah" Xiao Yaya responded
Anyway, she didn't understand a word, so he just thought she agreed. Fang Nuo put her down on the kang, blocked the edge with a pillow, got up, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and sent them back to the kitchen to put them away.
She went to close the courtyard door again, then returned to the house and played with Yaya for a while.
Now Yaya can't sit alone, but her little hands are very flexible. Every time she holds her in her arms, she grabs her clothes.
Every time you want to put her down, you have to coax her for a while.
Later, Fang Nuo got her a small toy. Every time he wanted to put her down, he would first take out the toy to attract her attention.
The temperature has been getting higher and higher recently, and after entering summer, there is more rain.
Anyway, after five days of hot weather, there will be a heavy rain.
Every time it rained, there would be leaks in some parts of the house. This time it just cleared up after the rain. The next day, she went out to the brigade leader's house with Yaya in her arms.
She came over without breakfast when she got up in the morning. Now every household in the village was still having breakfast at home. She just wanted to get there before the captain went out.
When he arrived at the captain's house, he saw that the courtyard door was open, so Fang Nuo walked in.
In the yard, I saw Aunt Dahua, who was about to go to the kitchen to get something. She came over with her child in her arms and said, "Xiao Nuo, why are you here so early? What happened?"
"Auntie, I had something to do today and wanted to ask the captain for help. I was afraid that he would have to go to the fields to arrange work later, so I came here earlier," Fang Nuo replied.
"Okay, let's go inside. We are getting ready to have breakfast. Have you eaten?" Aunt Dahua said.
"Sister-in-law, I just came here after eating. You continue to work. I will go to my uncle, the captain, to finish the matter and then go back," Fang Nuo said.
"Then you go and talk about it first." Aunt Dahua knew that she wouldn't stay for dinner, so she didn't try to persuade her.
The main reason is that Fang Nuo is stubborn because she can't be persuaded.
Fang Nuo carried the child into the main room of the captain's house, where the captain was sitting at the table.
He just heard that she came to see him. After she entered the room, she asked: "Fang Zhiqing, what do you want to see me for?"
"Uncle Captain, it's like this. It's been raining these days and my house has leaks in several places. I don't know how to repair the roof myself.
I just wanted to ask you if there is anyone in the village who can do this job. I also ask you to introduce two or three people to me. While it doesn’t rain these days, they can help me renovate the roof and replace the thatch with small ones. tiles.
Then I need your help to buy some tiles. In addition to repairing the roof, I also want to ask them to help me build a straw shed next to the kitchen where I can store some dry firewood," Fang Nuo said.
"That's it. It's true that no one has lived in that house for a long time. Before you moved in, my son and I went to make some simple repairs. It's time for repairs," the captain said.
"Thank you for your help, uncle, otherwise I might not have a place to live now." Fang Nuo thanked him with a smile.
"You've thanked me several times for this. It's what we should do. You have a good relationship with your auntie. Don't say this again in the future," the captain said.
Fang Nuo: "Okay, then I have to ask uncle for help with this matter of renovating the roof."
Captain: "Okay, then I will go and ask you if there is anyone in the village who is willing to do it. If there is anyone, I will let your Aunt Dahua tell you then."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
After Fang Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. When he was about to leave the house, he put the bag of brown sugar he had brought on the table next to the door. Before the captain could react, he quickly left his house. , heading home.
"Hey... this girl is really..." The captain saw her putting down her things and just wanted to call her to stop her, but she had already run away a long way.
Aunt Dahua heard the sound in the kitchen and came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
Captain: "What else? Fang Zhiqing came to ask me for help and gave me a bag of brown sugar."
Aunt Dahua: "What...that girl doesn't have much money to begin with, why do you still accept other people's things?"
Captain: "I also wanted to refuse, but she seemed to know that I would refuse to accept the things. After she finished talking about the matter, she put the things down and ran away when she was about to leave. I was not in a hurry to refuse."
"I'll send the things back later," Aunt Dahua said, and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
At this time, Wang Junyu, the youngest son of the captain's family, had just woken up. Just now he heard someone talking next door in the room. Now he came out but saw no one, so he asked Aunt Dahua: "Mom, just now Who is coming to our house?"
"It's your sister-in-law Fang Nuo who has come to see your father for something. Why are you asking? Why don't you go and wash up? After a while, you will have breakfast and go to work in the fields," said Aunt Dahua.
"Oh, I got it, Mom, I'm going to wash up right now." After Wang Junyu said that, he went to get a toothbrush to rinse his mouth.
The elders of the brigade leader's family, including his wife, had not survived the famine ten years ago and had passed away.
Now there are a couple and two sons in the family. The eldest son is Wang Junzhong, who is 20 years old this year and joined the army two years ago.
In the past two years, I have not come back to read a song during the holidays, but from time to time, my family will receive letters from him, and I feel relieved to know that he is still well.
The youngest son, Wang Junyu, is twenty years old this year. He has been naughty since he was a child. It was the captain who pressured him to finish high school. He was seventeen when he graduated. However, he could not find a job in the city, so he had to go home and work in the fields. live.
Two years ago, he wanted to follow his brother to join the army, but Aunt Dahua was reluctant and refused to let both children join the army.
In the end, the two brothers discussed it and kept him. In the past two years, they continued to work in the fields at home. From time to time, they secretly went to the mountains to catch some prey and sold them on the black market in the town for money. However, the captain and his wife did not Don't know.
When their family was having breakfast, the captain told Fang Nuo that he was going to ask him to help find someone to renovate the roof today. After hearing this, Wang Junyu said: "Dad, count me in when the time comes. Anyway, I’ve pretty much done all the work in the fields recently.”
