When Wei Yuanhang got the whistle from his little uncle. He really liked it for a long time. He also asked Wang Chunhua to find a string to string it around his neck.

"Mom, Yanyan wants my whistle, but I won't give it to her."

He Xiaoyun was cleaning the room. Wei Yuanhang sat on the edge of the bed, dangling his short legs, playing with his beloved whistle.

He Xiaoyun took the things on the table aside, wiped the tabletop with a wet towel, and said, "If you don't want to give it, don't show it in front of her all day. Someday, If it got snatched by Yanyan, I won't help you get it back."

When Wei Yuanhang heard this, he crossed his arms in his chubby waist, straightened his chest, and put his fat belly together, "Yanyan can't take it away, she can't beat me!"

"Fighting with girls, you really are amazing." He Xiaoyun was speechless.

The little kid was quite complacent when he heard it. Since Wei Jianwei left, He Xiaoyun has been using the desk. Apart from a few books, there is also a pen holder made of bamboo with pencils.

She poured out the contents of the pen holder, intending to wipe the dust inside, but saw that a photo fell out of the holder, which was sent back by Wei Jianwei the other day. She had no place to put it and was afraid that this little one would be lost. So, she put it in the pen holder, she didn't expect that after a few days, she would forget about it.

She wiped her hands dry, carefully pinched a corner of the photo, and thought about where to put it.

"Xiaoyun, I found out a few pieces of Jianhua's old clothes. Look at this design. Can you sew it for Xiaoyuan?" Wang Chunhua walked in with the clothes.

He Xiaoyun recovered and hurriedly said, "Xiaoyuan has a lot of clothes, it's better to keep that for the child in sister-in-law's belly."

"Grandma!" Wei Yuanhang's voice was crisp and bright.

"En." Wang Chunhua responded with a smile, and said to He Xiaoyun: "When your sister-in-law's child comes out, don't you still have Xiaohang's old clothes for him?"

Children in rural areas are not so particular about clothes. It's good to be able to make a new dress throughout the year. Other times, they pick up what their older brothers and sisters used to wear.

Wang Chunhua approached and saw the photo in her hand, "Is this Jianwei's?"

"Yes." He Xiaoyun showed it to her, "It was sent back with the letter last time, but I couldn't find a place to store it."

Xiaoyun did not dare to clip in the book, for fear that such unplasticized photos would stick to the book over time. Wang Chunhua took it, squinted her eyes, and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "So he looks like this in a uniform."

Wei Yuanhang ran to his grandma, "I want to see it too. Grandma, show it to me."

Wang Chunhua bent down and looked at the photo with him. He Xiaoyun touched the child's head, "Didn't you see it before? Mom, is there a photo frame in the hall?"

There is a big glass photo frame hanging on the wall of the main hall. There are family portraits taken by the five members of the Wei family a few years ago, as well as a photo of Wei Jianguo with Feng Qiuyue when they got married. Wang Chunhua discovered that her little grandson and her second daughter-in-law were not in the photo frames outside.

So, she said: "Yes, we do. And we don't have any photos of you and Xiaoyuan at home. Why don't we wait two days for the weather to be cooler and you can go to the county photo studio to take a photo? Let the comrades there take two photos. One can be sent to Jianwei, for him to look at you from time to time, what do you think?"
