Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 122 Be Blind, Be A Fool

Ai Muzhen came back at the end of the year.

Wei Pingan couldn't get out of the pot after the eggs were put into the pot, and he didn't go to greet them immediately.

Zhou Wen walked out quickly to greet her. The old lady had just been replaced, and she was still thinking about giving Dabao "pointing and pointing". Before she could sit still, she immediately got up when she heard Xiao Ai's voice, and went to the door to look out.

It's not easy for Xiao Ai, a girl who is constantly being bombarded with guns and bullets all day, seems uncomfortable if she doesn't get hurt two or three times a year.

This time I went out for a long time, and I was supposed to go home to eat dumplings during the winter solstice, but it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

The old lady lifted the cotton curtain and saw that Ai Mufen, who was carrying a bag of noodles in the yard, had his arms and legs intact, and could still carry things standing up, so she felt relieved.

"Sister, when did you come back? I was talking about the winter solstice."

"I have a temporary mission, so I went to Shandong again."

Saying that, Ai Muzhen said again: "Xiaowen, go to the door and bring back the seafood."

Zhou Wen hurried out and brought back two bags of seafood.

There are not many types, but they are all ingredients that can be eaten directly.

A bag of bright red, Shandong specialty grilled shrimp, dried out, can be peeled and eaten with rice or wine.

A bag of cooked lute shrimp, a good thing to drink with.

"Has my brother-in-law come back? I brought him a bag of small minced fish, which is called Guobaoyu in Shandong. The food and drink are much better than fried peanuts."

"I'm back. I'm frying egg sauce in the house. When you came, the eggs were just out of the pan."

"It's good to come back..."

"Don't stay in the yard, you two, go into the house and chat, it's freezing."

The old lady was in a hurry and called out through the cotton curtain.

The cotton curtain can't be opened frequently, and it can't keep the heat, so Dabao can't fix it if it's frozen.

For this family, the old lady is also worried.

"Sister Ai, long time no see."

"Brother-in-law, you haven't changed at all."

"Go and sit outside for a while, the food will be ready in a while, just in time to eat."

"Okay, you're busy, but I haven't tasted your craft for many years."

Ai Mulin went out of the kitchen, untied his coat and hung it on the hook behind the door.

He bent down and took off his shoes again.

The action is slightly unnatural.

Except for Wei Ping'an, the family are all ordinary people, and they didn't see anything.

Straightening her waist, Ai Muli breathed out, the action just now pressed the wound a little bit, and the faint pain made her secretly grit her teeth.

Wei Pingan quickly finished frying the egg sauce. After rinsing the pot, he heated the oil, put onion, ginger and garlic, and started to fry the chicken pieces.

When Wei Pingan received people, the old lady had already chopped the chicken nuggets, and the washed potatoes were also cut into pieces.

There is not enough food these days, and almost no one peels potatoes for eating.

Wei Ping'an stir-fried the chicken nuggets, raised his hand on the pot, and all kinds of condiments poured into the pot one after another.

They are all stored in the space, and there is no need to take them out and reuse them, just sprinkle them directly.

Watching Wei Pingan cook is like watching a magician perform magic tricks.

It's just that Wei Ping'an's operation will not be performed in front of others.

When the chicken nuggets were fried, Wei Pingan immediately added water and potatoes.

Wait for the fire to boil, then cover the lid and collect the juice on low heat.

Looking at the time, there is still half an hour before dinner, and the time is just right.

In the outer room, Ai Mulin was playing games with Dabao.

Hold it on your lap and play rock-paper-scissors.

Dabao was very happy, screaming and punching out all the time.

Children's brains are still developing, and their reactions are not so fast. Generally, as long as the speed is increased, it will not change at least two or three times in a row.

Ai Muzhen was also really embarrassed, Bao Fu won the hammer three times, and scraped the bridge of Dabao's nose three times.

"Auntie, amazing."

Just like that, Dabao was still showing off to his father.

Wei Pingan got closer, suddenly sniffed, and frowned slightly.

"Dabao, go play with uncle, don't rely on auntie's lap."

"Oh, auntie, I'm going down."

"Dabao listens to you very well, um, I spent a lot of time with my children when I came back."

"Sure, I've been absent for so many years. When I come back, I will naturally spend more time and energy on accompanying my children. Are you injured?"

"It's nothing serious, it's almost there."

"Will you stay at home and rest more during the Chinese New Year, and go on dangerous missions, why don't you order some good equipment for you?"

The reason why Wei Pingan said that was because Wei Pingan "saw" that Ai Mulin's injury was in the abdomen.

If an exoskeleton wearable booster seat is used, it cannot be injured there.

"I went to the mountainous area this time, and I'm still at the seaside. The auxiliary tools are inconvenient..."

"Oh, it's seawater corrosion. The auxiliary effect of mountain sports is not great, and the weight becomes cumbersome?"

Wei Pingan pinched his chin: "I will remodel you after the new year."

"Hey, I remember it. Master Wei has a golden mouth, and you can't go back on your word."

"Certainly not. Anyway, I didn't think of what to do after the new year, so I upgraded my sister-in-law's equipment first, so as not to get injured every now and then."

"What's wrong? Xiao Ai, are you injured again? Where is the injury? Is it serious..."

The old lady dropped the dough in her hand and trotted over.

Pulling Ai Mulin's arm, he began to check.

"Grandma, it's okay, my injuries are almost healed...don't..."

The old lady stroked Ai Mulin's body with both hands, touching here and pinching there.

Wei Ping'an looked a little hot.

In fact, it would be great if I replaced grandma by myself.

Thoughts were a little off, Wei Pingan quickly calmed down and tried his best to bring his thoughts back to the topic.

Hmm... Sister Ai's current situation is a huge waste of resources. The population is small these days, and children are being encouraged...

Ke Ai is still single.

This is what Wei Pingan started talking with his wife at night when he got home.

I don't know what she thinks, she will be 30 in a year or so, if you go by the false age, she is already a 30-year-old girl.

"Ahem, sister, where are Li Yuan and Guo Qiang, are they alright? Someday we have a chance, let's get together again."

"Guo Qiang's children can play soy sauce now. Li Yuan just got married last year, so he's planning to switch to a clerical job when he comes back this time."

There was a bit of regret in Ai Mu's words.

The old comrades-in-arms of the year are about to leave one more.

"Li Yuan, what's the matter?"

In a department like theirs, changing to a civilian job means that the injury is hard to heal, because a minor injury cannot go to the line of fire.

"Broken a leg... Hey, brother-in-law, you have a solution!"

"I'll go take a look after the new year."

"Don't wait until after the Chinese New Year, now...tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll pick you up and go take a look."

"Okay, it's because I didn't think carefully, I can't let the hero lose the mood for the New Year."

"Almost forgot about your big Buddha."

Ai Mulin rubbed his hands, a little excited.

"The Great Buddha made stewed chicken with potatoes and fried egg sauce, try it and give me your opinion."

"Well, then I'll do what I can, and help Xiaowen and Grandma try Duxian."

"No, I'll do it myself..."

Ai Muzhen returned safely, and Zhou Wen let go of a big stone in his heart, and he spoke more cheerfully.

The craftsmanship of Wei Pingan's star chef is not covered.

All the people at the table ate with sullen heads, gobbling it up.

I haven't seen Ai Mulin for many years, but the frequency of eating is still good.

was the first to finish.

That is, the weight has changed significantly.

In the past, three or five steamed buns were enough, but today I ate seven.

Three are worth a catty, so it's no wonder that a bag of noodles is carried when entering the door.

It's really unaffordable to change someone else's house.

When Ai Mulin was full, he began to look at Wei Dabao, paying special attention to the chair he was sitting on.

"Brother-in-law, this chair is a good idea. Make it a bigger size, and it can be used by some elderly people."

"I'll draw a blueprint after dinner, and you can take it if you need it."

"Eat first, and then discuss business after eating."

The old lady tapped the table with her chopsticks.

Ai Mudun and Wei Pingan hurriedly silenced their voices.

After the meal, Zhou Wen made a pot of tea, and the old lady went to the front yard to pack up the New Year's goods.

Wei Dabao was sleepy and started to lean forward and backward, very cute.

Ai Muzhen looked at it, and smiled unconsciously on his face.

"Let Dabao go to sleep for a while. Zimo, do you want to take a nap too?"

Zhou Wen carried Dabao to the bed, Zimo didn't plan to sleep, he went to the desk and started to practice calligraphy.

The test result was No.1 in the whole school, but Wei Pingan said that his writing was not improved enough, much worse than he imagined.

Don't look at Zhou Zimo playing around every day these days, but he will practice calligraphy every day.

His brother-in-law's approval is what he pursues, and Zhou Zimo worries most about disappointing his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, go to the small building, I'll talk to you alone."

"Oh."

Ai Mufeng and Wei Pingan entered the small building one after the other.

It was very warm with the heater, but there was no one here. Wei Pingan and Ai Mulin sat down on both sides of the coffee table, and Wei Pingan started making tea again.

Lao Chen took away a set of tea sets, and Wei Pingan brought out another set.

This thing has no technical content, so the exchange price is very low, and Wei Ping'an doesn't feel bad.

"Is this another new thing you fiddled with?"

"Well, a good helper for lazy people to make tea."

"If you have energy, get more useful things. Soldiers are fighting every day without risking their lives. If you have more heart, you may save one more life..."

"Understood, Miss Ai."

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and the only sound in the room was the sound of two people's teacups touching the coffee table.

"Did Xiaowen tell you everything?"

"Ah... I said it."

"what do you think?"

"Ha ha……"

Wei Pingan picked up the teacup, turned the rim of the cup, thought for a while, and then said: "What can I think, what's the use of thinking."

"After all, it's your own daughter."

Wei Pingan started to brew tea, watching the tea soup flowing from the gap in the graphite into the justice cup, without saying a word.

"Hmph! You are really stupid sometimes. Forget it, if it weren't for the sake of your contribution to my subordinates tomorrow, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

Ai Mufeng snorted and continued:
"Zhu Hui, graduated in 59, worked as an intern at Hanchun Shipyard before graduation, and stayed on at the shipyard after graduation. Now he is a quality inspector, single..."

"It's been five or six years, and she hasn't remarried?"

In Shanghai, there are not a few divorced and remarried people. Wei Pingan really didn't expect Zhu Hui to be single.

"Li Lu, I don't need to say more about my identity. I broke up with my family. I live in the dormitory of the department store and take care of the children by myself. In the past few years, I have basically endured all kinds of hardships. It is completely deliberate to torture myself... The child's name is Wei Xiaomi, and she regards Zhu Hui as her godmother, and we meet each other every year."

"Sister Ai, what's the use of telling me these things, I can't do anything..."

Ai Muzhen stared at Wei Pingan for a long time.

"On my way back, I heard that you helped the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry get a new technology?"

"Ah."

"Bai help?"

"Uh-huh?"

"You said that you are such a smart chief engineer, why are you not as good as a fool in some things... you are not as good as ordinary people."

It's not the first time that Ai Muzhen noticed this 'stupidity'.

I researched a gas stove and got several patents registered internationally, but I ended up spending 200 yuan a year...

Ai Muzhen's angry and indisputable tone was obvious, and he said:
"Li Lu's father is the commander of the army, and the child was born before marriage. It has been four or five years. Are you blind and deaf?"

Ai Muzhen said, pointing to the top.

"Your contribution over the past few years is obvious to all... Let's put it this way, our action team has held several meetings for you. Do you know what this means?"

Wei Pingan shook his head.

"It means that in any dangerous moment, we will block bullets for you and sacrifice ourselves."

"I... deserve it."

Wei Pingan was a little excited.

It turns out that the country has always remembered the other side beyond its own cognition and understanding, and on the other side that it does not know.

All the hard work has actually paid off all the time, but I don't know the way and method.

Does not know does not mean does not exist, Wei Pingan is very grateful.

At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to "argue" with the old guys who robbed people in the institute...

"Don't be humble, overly modest will make people sick. You think about it. One is a minister who has made great contributions to the founding of the country, and the other is a scientist who has made great contributions to the development of the country... Multiple families, so what?"

"what?"

"I didn't ask you to make a big fanfare, just keep a low profile and don't be too arrogant... The people don't raise officials and don't investigate this sentence, have you heard it?"

Wei Pingan was a little excited.

"Ai, sister Ai... what do you mean?"

"Since you don't treat the leaders above as blind, don't pretend to be a fool, because the more realistic your performance is, the more your behavior will be closer to treating them as fools in the eyes of the people above..."

"Ahem, I don't dare. I really dare not..."

"The matter of Li Lu hasn't happened for several years. Commander Li has let his daughter go. You've been back for so long, and you haven't come to the door once?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Do you know? This accident in Shanghai, your achievements in the past few years have already made up for it. Everyone is either watching your jokes, or waiting for your performance, or watching with cold eyes... Absolutely no one will bite this matter against you . This is the consensus reached above.”

"Really, fake? Ai, Sister Ai...I..."

Wei Pingan rubbed his hands excitedly, even worse than when Ai Mufeng thought of helping Li Yuan solve the problem just now.

"Let me tell you. If you leave this room, I will not admit it if you ask again. But I can tell you now that no one will ask you a question because of you. On the contrary, you are a meritorious engineer. It is our Important national wealth that must be protected at the expense of sacrifice.”

Ai Muzhen added an accent to the four words of national wealth.

Wei Ping'an understood.

Sudden--

Wei Pingan thought of his bare-handed commander, and the behavior of those old guys in the institute not only delayed his continued contribution to the country, but also prevented him from enjoying a higher level of security. This was simply interfering with and destroying Wei Ping's emotional life. !

In an instant, Wei Ping'an's heart hardened again.

Be tough externally, internally... be cowardly.

"Ahem... Sister Ai, then, that little news..."

"I'll tell her. Go to sleep in the south room tonight, sleep alone on the cold kang, sober up."

"Well, I'm going to sleep in the south room. Sister, you must talk to Xiaowen carefully. I mean, if she...doesn't accept it, I won't blame her, and I will never take that step."

Wei Pingan said solemnly.

"You have a conscience. I just don't want you to suffer so much. After all, you have made great contributions to everyone..."

This contribution, from the mouth of a soldier, is the real feedback that is loud and loud.

At this moment, Ai Muzhen is a qualified soldier, and he is grateful for the dedication and contribution of Master Wei, not Wei Ping'an's sister-in-law and Zhou Wen's sister.

As for Xiaowen...

Ai Muzhen thought silently in his heart: Marrying such a man is both your luck and your misfortune.I just hope that I can understand him, and also understand me... I guess.

Actually, when Ai Mu was hospitalized in Jinan, he was murdered by Lao Li and tortured in a row... In the past two days, he called twice a day, not talking about anything, just asking about his recovery, so he should pay attention to his self-cultivation...

Work as hard as you eat.

In this case, which subordinate can bear it.

What's more, Ai Mufen and Li Junchang are not in the same system. Strictly speaking, apart from their high ranks, they have no affiliation.

It's not a choice between a dead fellow Daoist and a poor Daoist.

Cut my brother-in-law's time a little... that's all.

Sister Ai Mufen, who has never been married, can't understand a woman's desire for love at the moment, so she can't fully understand the mood of sister Zhou Wen.

But her actions did not affect Zhou Wen.

Because Zhou Wen knows how to compare her heart with her heart, besides longing for the perfection of her relationship, she is also full of compassion and tolerance.

Love cannot be humbled, but lover, maybe you can.

　The second more...continue to code words...

　　Strive for more manuscripts, more explosions...
