Xu Di, born in the 1980s, graduated from high school but didn't get into college. She worked in a garment factory for t...
Chapter 203
The job was returned to the Liang family, and Xu Di felt relieved.
The Liang family's job was a reward for her saving Ankang.
However, no one knew that the real Xu Di was gone because of saving people. Although there are other hidden reasons behind Xu Di's departure, how can I put it? If I say too much, it will feel a bit pretentious.
However, this messy mood miraculously disappeared as the work was handed over.
Now, Xu Di has some free time and it’s not much time left until the Chinese New Year, so he can prepare for the New Year’s goods well.
Grandma Qian was also happy. She had been waiting for this day. The sky was clear and those who had passed away could finally rest in peace.
I'm still figuring out the house thing, there's no rush. There is still some time before Xiaodi starts school. Maybe we will have news tomorrow.
During this period, I received news one after another that people I knew and didn’t know were admitted to university.
Lin Wei finally signed up, but failed the preliminary selection. Feng Liping was admitted to a junior college, a school in the railway system.
There are quite a few people from the Zhang family taking the exam.
However, not everyone received an admission letter.
Zhang Chaobo was admitted to the PLA Medical University, but Chaolu was not. She didn’t like studying and is now a pediatric nurse in a military hospital, which she likes.
Zhang Chaoyu's wife was admitted to a technical secondary school, and her children were probably a little noisy, so her attention was distracted.
However, both children from Zhang Chaoyang's aunt's family were admitted to universities in Beijing, but it is not clear which schools they went to.
It seems that Aunt Zhang and her family are also coming back, saying that they are supporting the Third Front construction, but in fact it is a disguised demotion.
Zhang’s aunt is a university teacher and her uncle is a PhD who studied abroad. Both are highly educated people.
During those years, if it weren’t for the mediation of the old man of the Zhang family, it’s hard to say what would have happened to Aunt Zhang’s family.
However, Xu Di just treated this matter as gossip because she was not familiar with the people there.
She had never met this aunt, but Zhang Chaoyang probably knew how many times he had met her.
Xu Jia also received an admission letter to his second choice school, the Department of Economics and Management.
As the New Year was approaching, Xu Di went to visit his grandparents and gave them the new clothes he had made and some New Year goods.
This year, Master Zhu sent her a lot of seafood. The New Year gifts of Xu Di's family are still mainly seafood, followed by the fruits in Xu Di's space.
Apples, oranges, pears, and persimmon cakes, all of which were made by Xu Di himself.
She saw it at the food counter in the department store, but the quantity was limited, so she only bought a little and tasted it.
However, she had actually watched the production video of persimmon cake and remembered some of it.
There is a persimmon tree in the space, and it bears so many big persimmons. If they are not made into persimmon cakes, they will be difficult to digest. When will it be possible to finish eating them?
Xu Di was glad that Nuannuan was sleeping with her great-grandmother now, so she could go into the space and do some work while the two little ones were asleep.
I failed several times before it slowly took shape. In total I made several hundred persimmon cakes.
After so many years, the fruit trees in the space are all mature old trees, bearing a lot of fruits and without any insects.
Xu Di did not come back empty-handed from his grandmother's house.
The brigade raised a lot of fat pigs this year. After Laba Festival, they started slaughtering the pigs and buying meat.
Of course, this is a collective activity. The proceeds from the sales will be deposited into the brigade’s public account and finally distributed to the members.
Xu Di bought dozens of kilograms of pork, both fat and lean, as well as the pig's head stewed by her second aunt. She gave a quarter of it to her and a quarter to her parents' family.
There is also soybean oil, frozen tofu, and dried vegetables, really a lot of them. Xu Di couldn't carry so much by himself, so it was his second uncle Xu who sent it back.
"Uncle, this is for you."
Xu Di forgot to take it when he left. No one at home smokes, but there were cigarette coupons.
Xu Di bought two large front-door shoes, intending to bring them to his second uncle, but in the end he forgot about it.
"It's still Xiao Di who's thinking about Second Uncle. I'm leaving now."
Uncle Xu also has to go to Father Xu's place. Xu Di came back just after seeing his second uncle off.
"Grandma, I'll make some oil and fry the meat. Tomorrow is the Little New Year, and the day after tomorrow we'll clean the house."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions. We've bought a lot of meat this year. In the past few years, the family's income has been largely thanks to your uncle and his family."
Grandma Qian thinks Xiaodi’s family is really nice.
"My grandma is afraid that I will become hungry and thin. She thinks being chubby is a blessing."
"Well, women look better when they are fatter."
Xu Di looked at his waist. It was just right now and he couldn't get any fatter.
Aunt Wu will go back to her daughter's home to celebrate the New Year in a few days, and Xu Di has also prepared a New Year gift for her.
In the kitchen, Aunt Wu and Xu Di were busy pressing oil, and soon the whole house was filled with fragrance.
In the evening, Xu Di brought a bowl of Youzila and some dried vegetables to Aunt Wang and the others.
Aunt Wang returned a big pomelo, saying it was brought back from the south by a friend.
Without having to go to work, Xu Di started preparing things for the New Year.
For the family's new clothes, she got a lot of defective cloth and large pieces of cloth from Yang Dani.
Dani did not take the college entrance examination this year because she had just given birth to a child.
However, she is preparing to attend the next one and is preparing to review.
Xu Di sent all his information to her, a whole big bag.
No matter it is defective cloth or large pieces of cloth, Xu Di can make it into beautiful clothes and dress up Nuannuan and the other two like three flowers.
On the twenty-third, we eat candy melons; on the twenty-fourth, we sweep the house; on the twenty-fifth,
Xu Di was busy at home, but unexpectedly, Xiaojun brought even more exciting news.
"Second sister, my eldest sister and her family are back. Our mother asked you to come home and visit when you have time."
"Xu Mei is back. Are the whole family back together?"
Xu Di didn't expect that Xu Mei would come back at this time. She even forgot to ask whether Xu Mei was admitted to university.
“Yes, we came back together, along with the two children and my eldest brother-in-law.
The eldest sister failed the exam. She said that her child was sick and had been hospitalized for a long time, and she had to take care of the child and missed her review.
However, my eldest brother-in-law was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and after the Chinese New Year, he will go directly to college from here. ”
"What about my eldest sister and the child? Can't we go back to Yun Province by ourselves?"
Xu Di thought that the train was so chaotic now, and it was not an easy thing for one person to take care of two children.
“My eldest sister is leaving her two children at home as she plans to take the next college entrance examination.
With the children around, she couldn't review properly. ”
"Did our mother agree?"
Xu Di didn't expect that Xu Mei had such an idea.
"I don't know, that's all I heard. As for what our mother answered, I don't know.
There are two children, the boy is three months younger than Nuannuan, and the girl is one month younger than Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
I don’t know how my elder sister and the others took care of the two children. He is thin and small, and seems much shorter than Nuannuan and the others. ”
Xu Jun couldn't understand why his eldest sister and brother-in-law both had jobs and their salaries were not low, and his parents subsidized them from time to time, but the two children looked like they were malnourished.
"My mother might agree. This is a matter of great importance as to whether Xu Mei can return to the city."
“I think so. I went to school right after the Chinese New Year. It’s far away and I don’t know if there will be any training during the holidays.
I guess my eldest sister-in-law might not be happy. The two little ones in my eldest brother's family sometimes have to be taken care of by our mother. ”
Xu Jun couldn't understand why his brothers and sisters' relationship became worse as they grew older. They quarreled all the time and he always felt like he was at a disadvantage.
Of course, apart from his second sister, his parents really didn't help much.
Xu Jun played with his three nieces for a long time at his second sister's house. After dinner, he felt it was too late to dawdle any longer, so he got up and prepared to go home.
Thinking about the people and things at home, he had a headache.
Forget it, he is just a kid, no matter what he says, it’s useless, just listen.
