Rebirth 1986

Chapter 259 Children
"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat dripped down into the soil, who knows that every grain of the Chinese food is hard...Mom, can I recite well?"

Ran shook her little head and recited the poems taught to him by the teacher during the day, and immediately turned to look at An Qing after reciting, with a small expression of "Mom, please praise me".

An Qing looked at the cute look on his son's face, and encouraged him as if he was satisfied: "The memorization is very good, but it's really smart."

"Of course, Teacher Wang also praised me today, and gave me a little red flower. Only Ai Rongrong and I have it in the whole class." The little guy proudly raised his head and said, that little red flower The flowers are still hanging on his schoolbag, and the friends are very envious when they look at them.

"Then do you know what this poem means?" An Qing asked with a smile as he mixed the shelled shrimp with the mixed minced meat and fresh bamboo shoots into the prepared dough.

Ran Ran opened her eyes wide and shook her head, her face a little confused.

Seeing this, An Qing chuckled and shook her head. She had known for a long time that most of the current kindergartens are mainly for children to play, unlike later generations, but children at the age of three or four will start to study systematically. Most of the children in the first and second grades still don’t understand anything. The reason why some parents send their children to the kindergarten is to free up time for work or to be busy with their own affairs. They just want the teachers in the kindergarten to help look after the children. Figure out what they can teach.

However, when she was three years old, An Qing discovered that the little guy was clinging to her every day, and his personality became a little introverted. Unless he was a very familiar person, he would rarely talk to outsiders. She was a little anxious at the time, and after discussing it with Su Chengwen , and then decided to send his son to kindergarten, one is to allow him to have playmates of the same age, and the other is to prevent him from becoming withdrawn and not socializing because he is too clingy.

An Qing remembers that when he first sent the little guy to the kindergarten, he cried twice. After getting used to it, he would ask to go to school every time. He also made friends with many children of the same age in the kindergarten. I met Teacher Wang, who is a graduate of Capital Professional Preschool Teachers College. From time to time, he would teach children some simple word recognition and arithmetic, and he also knows how to get along with children, which is very popular among children.

But that's all. Although she learned a lot from Teacher Wang, An Qing explained more to her.

"This poem is about when the sun is in the sky, the farmer uncles are farming in the field, and then they will sweat a lot after being exposed to the sun. Every grain of the food we usually eat contains their hard work and sweat , the meaning of this poem is to teach us not to waste, but to cherish food."

Ran Ran nodded wisely, "Mom, I understand, I won't have leftovers in the future, and I'll tell the children tomorrow so that they won't have leftovers."

"Well, of course you are the most sensible." An Qing praised with a smile.

"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Ran Ran sat beside her with her little face in her hands, watching the dumplings in her mother's hands take shape one by one and suddenly asked.

An Qing looked at his son strangely, "What, miss Dad?"

"Well, Dad promised me that he would make me a little Trojan horse and bring me a pistol when he came back this time, but he hasn't come back after leaving for a long time." The little guy said sullenly.

An Qing pinched his unhappy son with a smile, and after successfully drawing a flour mark on his face, he said with a smile: "Dad has important things to do when he goes out this time, so he will spend a little longer time outside, but he I called yesterday and said that I will be back in a few days to see Ranran."

"Really, did mom ask dad if he bought me a pistol?"

"Of course, Dad said there are not only pistols, but also other toys."

"That's great, Dad is awesome!" The little guy's emotions came and went quickly, and when he heard that his father would bring toys when he came back, he laughed so hard that his eyes turned into crescent moons.

Seeing her son so easily satisfied, An Qing couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Su Chengwen, the father. To be honest, he was not very clingy to his father when he was young. Compared to being intimate and coquettish to her, Su Chengwen often had to give his son more love. When you buy toys or take him out to play, you can get kisses and hugs like rewards from the little guy, as well as such a rare expression of longing like now, and whenever the toy or something he wants is in hand, the little guy will immediately Running far away, Su Chengwen was thrown into a rage every time.

While teasing her son, An Qing quickly wrapped the stuffing into the dough, put her hands together, twisted and pinched her fingers a few times, and the willow leaf dumplings were formed one by one, because Ran Ran liked other wrapping methods, she I also made a few shrimp dumplings with different patterns.

"Su Yifei, Su Yifei..."

While the mother and son were busy making dumplings, there was a childish cry from outside the door.

However, when he heard someone calling his name, he ran out quickly, waited to open the door and saw two little friends standing outside the door, and was immediately overjoyed, "Junzi, Xiaohu, why are you here?"

"Su Yifei, let's come to play with you. Look, my dad bought me a tank. Let's play together!" A boy with a thick head and a thick head said triumphantly, and he was still holding a plastic tank that was not very delicate. Shaking.

Ran Ran's eyes lit up, and she wanted to agree at first, but then she remembered that she hadn't eaten yet, and she immediately grimaced, "But I haven't eaten yet, and my mother said that I can only play after eating."

"What did your mother cook for you?" The thin little soldier next to him lit up when he heard that there was something to eat.

However, when she heard this question, she immediately became proud, "My mother made crystal shrimp dumplings for me today, as well as crispy pork, which are my favorites."

"Wow... Su Yifei, your mother is so kind, she cooks delicious food for you every day." The two children outside the door were full of envy.

An Qing heard her son standing at the door talking to other children, fearing that he would run out to play, so she quickly raised her voice and asked, "Of course, who is here?"

"Mom, it's Junzi and Xiaohu. They came to play with me." Ran Ran poked her head into the kitchen and replied loudly.

An Qing laughed immediately when he heard the words, but Junzi and Xiaohu in his mouth didn't live in this bungalow area, but lived in a tube building that turned around here and walked out of the road, about ten minutes away. The conditions of the two children's families are not particularly good. Both parents work in state-owned cotton mills. Anqing has met them once, but the reason why he knows these two children is also a coincidence.

There are many children near where they live, but those children are either too old and have already gone to elementary school or middle school, or they are too young, such as the children of Wang Linlin and Jiang Xiaoyun, one is more than two years old and the other is one year old. Little Luobotou and Ranran couldn't play together. The little guy couldn't stay idle after returning home from kindergarten. Once when he ran outside to play, he fought with these two children for some reason. Later, when Zheng Xiaohu's parents found out about this, they brought their two children over to apologize, and the three children became friends instead. After that, Junzi and Xiaohu often came to play with Ranran after school.

Although the two children's family conditions are not very good, Anqing has never met Gu Jun's parents, but the children's personalities are very pleasing, and they usually protect Ranran, who is younger than them, when they play around. , so Anqing is also happy to have her children to accompany Ranran. Sometimes, if she is free, she will accompany the little guy to find two children to play near the Tongzilou.

"Of course, let your friends come in. You can play with them after eating. Mom is already making dumplings."

"Understood mom, Junzi Xiaohu, come in, and I'll go out with you after I finish eating." Ranran heard her mother's order and immediately let two friends into the house.

It's not the first time for Junzi and Xiaohu to come to Anqing's house, but every time they come, they feel that they don't know where to put their hands and feet. In the eyes of the two children, Su Yifei's little classmate's house is really grand, with not only a sofa and a big TV , and installed air conditioners, which are rare at this time, as well as refrigerators and washing machines. They don’t have these things at home. In their eyes, this place is more magnificent than the palace in the stories they read, so every time they come in, They would carefully stand outside the door to shake off the dirt on their clothes, then change into guest slippers before entering the house, and they would not touch the things at home when they were playing in the house.

In the kitchen, An Qing saw the three children playing in the house, so she hurriedly selected some thin-skinned dumplings and put them on the steamer, and some of them were placed in the boiling pot, thinking of the two children who usually lived at home. He was not very willing to eat meat, so he simply bought a dozen more and cooked their meals together.

After waiting for the dumplings to come out of the pot, An Qing told the three children who were playing around in the house: "Of course, stop playing and go wash your hands and eat. Junzi Xiaohu, you also go to wash your hands."

After waiting for the three of them to come out after washing their hands, An Qing placed the three small bowls of dumplings in front of the three of them respectively.

Junzi held the bowl happily, but Zheng Xiaohu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Aunt An, Mom said we won't let us eat at your house."

"Then have you two had dinner?" An Qing asked.

Gu Jun and Zheng Xiaohu shook their heads at the same time, Zheng Xiaohu said: "Uncle Gu is not at home after going out, Junzi lives in my house, my parents are still working overtime in the factory, and the leftovers at noon are finished, let's play with Su Yifei for a while , we will go back to eat after my mother is off work."

Hearing Zheng Xiaohu's sensible words, An Qing couldn't help sighing. Zheng Xiaohu's parents taught their child very well, and were even stricter than her in some aspects, so the child was only six years old, but this child was very sensible. As for Gu Jun, although not as good as Zheng Xiaohu, was extremely well-behaved among children of the same age, so she was relieved to let Ranran play with them.

"Since your mother hasn't come back, the two of you will eat at Auntie's place. If your mother asks, just say that Auntie agreed. When Ranran goes to play with you next time, you can also invite him to dinner." Alright." An Qing smiled and said to the two children.

The two children thought about it, and they also felt that it made sense. What's more, the dumplings in the bowl were so tempting. They looked at each other, and then began to eat.

However, with the company of my little friends, the appetite was much larger than usual. After waiting for the crystal shrimp dumplings in the steamer to be ready, the three children ate three more, and after a short rest, they ran to the After playing on the lawn outside, An Qing continued to draw in the gazebo with the unfinished drawings during the day. .
