Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

At noon on New Year’s Eve, the Yang and Ou families had another reunion dinner, and in the evening the two families ate separately.

This year, with two more glutinous rice ball-like babies, the home is even more lively.

"Yizi, Ruoxing, you have to pay more attention to Anan and Lele tonight. It's New Year's Day, and many families in the compound will set off firecrackers, including ours. You have to cover their ears and don't scare them." After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the old lady told Yang Yi and Ou Ruoxing some important things.

Children are timid, and if they are scared without paying attention, it will be difficult to deal with.

"Grandma, we got it. We will definitely cover An An and Le Le's ears and will never let them get scared." Yang Yi and Ou Ruoxing quickly nodded in response.

It is said that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure, and this is really true.

If the old lady hadn't reminded them, they might not have thought about this, and would have been in a panic when the firecrackers really went off, and would inevitably have been negligent.

Both children fell asleep, and Yang Yi and Ou Ruoxing quickly carried them back to the room.

After returning to the room and putting the child down, Ou Ruoxing said something to Yang Yi, then used her consciousness to enter her personal space and began to search.

About twenty minutes later, two furry earmuffs appeared in Ou Ruoxing's hands.

"Wife, what is this?" Yang Yi looked at the thing that suddenly appeared and quickly reached out to take it. Although it looked furry, who knows if it would be dangerous.

Ou Ruoxing looked at the man in front of her with amusement, "This is an earmuff. Wearing it on your ears can block out the sound, just like covering your ears with your hands."

It was still early before midnight, and the earmuffs could not be used for the time being. Yang Yi took them in his hands and studied them curiously.

"Xingxing, can we make these earmuffs?" After looking through it for a while, Yang Yi asked curiously.

When Ou Ruoxing heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he was a soldier and three generations of his family had been soldiers, so naturally he was concerned about the interests of his country and his family.

"Brother Yi, you want to make it to keep the soldiers on the front line warm in winter, right?"

Looking at his wise wife, Yang Yi was very moved. "Yes, the southern troops are not too cold, but the further north, northwest and northeast you go, the colder it gets. Even in Beijing, it snows heavily in winter and water turns to ice. It is too cold for the soldiers to stand guard. When they change shifts, their heads and faces are numb from the cold."

Ou Ruoxing had also seen the situation that Yang Yi described on TV in her previous life, especially in the Tibetan area. It was extremely cold for several months a year. In serious cases, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and they still had to patrol the border, which was really hard.

“Earmuffs are not difficult to make, but the materials…” The materials needed for earmuffs are extremely scarce in this era, and we don’t even know if they are available.

After the two discussed for a while, Ou Ruoxing drew a design based on the appearance of the earmuffs. Of course, some materials were modified. After all, some materials from later generations were not available in this era.

The two agreed to find time after the New Year to buy some materials, make a sample first, and then decide on the next steps.

"Oh, by the way, it's New Year's Day, let's give the gifts to our grandparents and parents first!" It was almost twelve o'clock, and Ou Ruoxing suddenly remembered that the New Year gifts prepared for the elders had not been given out yet.

Ou Ruoxing thought that in her previous life, when the weather got cold, many people would buy hats with scarves and gloves. They were made of wool, and were thick and warm, and very convenient.

Yang Yi was really confused at this moment. He didn't prepare anything, and he didn't see anything his wife prepared. What should he give?

Ou Ruoxing said "Wait!" and started searching in his portable space again.

It took a while before he took out a large pile of things.

"Xingxing, this is..." This pile of things looks a bit like a hat, but not quite. It has two big ears and a palm-like bag.

No matter how I look at it, it seems strange. What is it used for?

Knowing that Yang Yi didn't recognize this thing, Ou Ruoxing picked up one of them and started fiddling with it. When he saw the person dressed up, Yang Yi suddenly realized.

"Hey! This is great! It has a hat and a scarf together, so convenient!"

To be honest, Yang Yi likes everything he sees. If he gives it to his grandparents, they will definitely be very happy.

Because of the characteristics of this era, Ou Ruoxing only gave out two colors, black and gray. Black was given to male elders, and gray was given to female elders.

"Brother Yi, grandpa and grandma should still be keeping watch, do you want to give it to them?"

Yang Yi thought that in previous years the whole family would stay up all night together until after midnight and go back to their room to sleep after eating dumplings, so he nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll send them out to Grandpa and the others first. You can stay in the room with An An and Le Le to rest."

After giving the instructions, Yang Yi picked up four woolen hats and left the room.

The old man and his friends who were sitting by the fire in the living room and keeping watch heard footsteps coming from the stairs and looked over there at the same time.

"Why are you here again, little brat? It's almost twelve o'clock. Why are you messing around here instead of staying in the room with your wife and children?" Father Yang felt worried when he saw his unreliable son.

If they didn't have such a good wife, they really wanted to kick this guy out of the house.

"Hey, grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, you misunderstood. Xingxing thought that we would set off firecrackers at twelve o'clock to welcome the New Year, so we should wear this New Year gift early to welcome the New Year together."

The explanation given by their grandson (son) made them feel very comfortable. You see, this is the difference between a son and a daughter.

As for the son, he has never been so proactive in preparing gifts for them in previous years. But now his daughter-in-law is enjoying this treatment while spending the New Year at home.

Seeing that they were no longer angry, Yang Yi quickly took the bag in his hand to them, opened it, and took out the things inside. "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, this was prepared before the New Year. Try it on and see if it warms you up."

The four elders each held one in their hands and studied it, "What is this? A hat? And it has two hands?"

"I've never seen this thing before. How do I wear it?"

Yang Yi watched them study it for a few minutes but still couldn't figure it out. He took it from his father and put it on his head, "Grandpa and grandma, look, this is how you wear it."

The four of them also understood and started to put it on their heads following the steps Yang Yi had just taken.

"Hey! You know what, this hat is really comfortable to wear. It's warm when it's wrapped around the neck. The most important thing is that there are no gaps, so no wind leaks in!" After the old lady put it on, she felt it and was very happy.

"Yes, yes, yes! Ruoxing is really careful! This hat is well made!"

It would be so embarrassing to wear it outside during Chinese New Year, hahahaha…

I must show off in front of those old friends.

"Yizi, this hat is not just for us, your parents-in-law should also prepare it!" Mother Yang reminded her sons, fearing that they were young and might not think things through, which would make their in-laws feel uncomfortable.

"Mom, don't worry, everything is ready and will be sent back on the second day of the New Year."

Yang Yi was extremely happy to see his family getting along well with his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family.
