Chapter 225

Xu Di found out about the follow-up of Xu Qiang’s blind date two days later.

"Sister, I have to leave for Shanghai soon.

Comrade Wang Qiuxia and I have confirmed our relationship. We have decided to spend some time together and if we feel it is a good fit, we will get married. ”

On the phone, Xu Qiang sounded full of energy. I don't know if it was because he had a partner or because he was going to Shanghai and had a chance to see the foreign concessions.

"Very good, Comrade Wang Qiuxia seems to be a good person, you should treat her well.

It’s a long journey to Shanghai, please be careful. ”

Xu Di gave a few instructions, but she herself had never been to that city, so she couldn't say much.

"Got it, sis. I'll bring you gifts when I come back."

Xu Qiang hung up the phone and they were about to set off.

Xu Di glanced at the calendar. It was already mid-December. He didn't know if Xiaojun could come back this year. It had been almost a year since he left.

Zhang Chaoyang has not returned for more than a month.

There is also Xu Yong. Since he joined the army, he has only come back once.

Now he is in military school and has never come back.

Xu Di kept saying to himself, hoping that they could all come back this year.

Xu Di took her child to the Children's Palace for classes in the morning. Nuannuan is worthy of being Zhang Chaoyang's daughter. She has practiced martial arts very well. Even the teacher said that this child is suitable for martial arts.

As for Tuan Tuan, the little girl was very calm. She sat there and practiced the erhu for an hour without feeling bored at all.

Yuanyuan was the one having the most fun. She felt like a fish in water. There were so many children talking to her every day that it seemed like her lips were becoming thinner.

On the way out of the Children's Palace, I met someone selling roasted sweet potatoes.

"Mom, I want to eat baked sweet potatoes."

Yuanyuan looked at the roasted sweet potato stall not far from the Children's Palace and she wanted to eat some.

"Okay, let's go buy some. Grandma Tai and Grandma Wu also like to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

The man selling roasted sweet potatoes was a young man wearing an old military cap.

"Big sister, give me some roasted sweet potatoes. If they're not sweet, I won't charge you."

"Okay, six."

One per person. Sweet potatoes are not that big nowadays, so each person can finish one.

"Okay, wait a moment."

The young man was very skillful, he must have been doing this for some time.

Xu Di paid the money, took the six roasted sweet potatoes and put them in the bag she was carrying.

"Take your time. Come back later if you like."

"Thank you, uncle."

Yuanyuan waved her hand, and she felt the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes going straight into her nose.

Xu Di took the bus home with her three children, and they were all eager to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, it’s not too far, just three stops, otherwise the little greedy cat would not be able to wait.

The three children ran into the yard laughing. Xu Di locked the gate and followed them into the house.

"Mom, we have guests at home."

Before Xu Di opened the door, he heard the news from Yuanyuan, the little ear messenger.

Xu Di was still wondering who was coming.

"Second sister-in-law, I'm here to have a meal."

"Chao Heng is here. You came by yourself. Where are Li Ping and the children?"

"They didn't come. They went to the child's grandmother's house."

The reason why Zhang Chaoheng came here was because his mother and his wife were having a conflict again. He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he wanted to come out and hide away for some peace and quiet.

He once thought that his marriage life must never be like his elder brother's.

Unexpectedly, there was no conflict between the couple, but his wife and mother were quite unpleasant.

"Mom, bake sweet potatoes."

"Got it. Have you washed your hands?"

Xu Di didn’t know what happened to Zhang Chaoheng. It was probably something like that between husband and wife, or between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I've washed it. Smell it, mom. It smells nice." Yuanyuan had been thinking about it all the way. When she finally got home, her mother was still talking to her uncle.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are not very familiar with this uncle; they are most familiar with their uncles.

Xiaojun didn't come back from school this year, but he sent back a lot of things, including food, daily necessities and toys.

So, the three children know their little uncle and like him very much.

Not to mention Xu Qiang, every time he came back from traveling, he would bring gifts for his three children.

Xu Yong would also send things over, and the children also knew this uncle.

Every time he returned to Niufang Brigade, Xu Jun would take his three children out to play.

In short, except for the eldest brother Xu, who the three children were not familiar with, the other brothers of the Xu family were uncles who liked them and they also liked them.

As for the Zhang family, they were not familiar with much.

An uncle whom they were quite familiar with, especially Brother Xuan He.

I don’t know my aunt, and I rarely see my uncle, so we are not familiar with each other.

However, their uncle and aunt were familiar to them and always came to their house. Especially my cousin, who played with them and taught them to speak English.

Speaking of this, Xu Di is grateful to Bai Weiwei. She likes three children. Every time she comes, she will play with the children and teach them to speak English with standard pronunciation.

Xu Di’s spoken English is average; his reading and writing are OK, but his speaking is far from good.

Bai Weiwei and Bai Xuanning speak very good English, not much different from foreigners.

When both of them came over, they would guide the children to speak English.

Yuanyuan stretched out her hand in front of her eyes, which brought Xu Di back to his senses. He quickly got the roasted sweet potatoes for the children.

"Grandma, Aunt Wu, come over and have some too. I bought several."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Aunt Wu was preparing lunch in the kitchen, and Grandma Qian was listening to Zhang Chaoheng talking.

"Chao Heng, would you like some roasted sweet potatoes?"

"Second sister-in-law, I don't want to eat. I'm waiting to eat the meal Aunt Wu makes."

Zhang Chaoheng has no appetite now. The relationship between his mother and wife at home is tense. He has to ask his grandmother for advice on how to balance the relationship between his wife and his mother.

"Xiao Di, give me half of it. The roasted sweet potato tastes delicious. I suddenly feel like eating it."

"Grandma, you eat first."

Nuannuan handed the peeled sweet potato to her great-grandmother.

"Thank you, Nuannuan. You peeled the sweet potato skin really cleanly."

Grandma Qian took the sweet potato from Nuannuan's hand, and the sweetness in her heart was sweeter than the sweet potato itself.

Her relationship with her son was like that in her life, and there was not much mother-son affection between them.

However, she did not die alone. She had an outstanding grandson, who married an equally outstanding granddaughter-in-law and gave birth to three lovely and well-behaved great-granddaughters.

I thought that the family bond was shallow, but unexpectedly, when I get old, I still have the sincere company of the younger generation.

Xu Di smiled. Her family had three babies, which was really great.

Zhang Chaoheng looked at his three nieces. Not to mention Nuannuan, but Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were about the same age as his two children, and were even a few months younger than the two children in his family.

However, the two children in the family were spoiled too much by their mother.

Liping was sometimes very angry, thinking that her mother had no principles towards her child and was too spoiled. Neither of them would give in to the other and they ended up arguing.

All the trivial matters were dug up, and then he was asked to judge who was right and who was wrong?

He felt overwhelmed. At that moment, he felt that no one was wrong and it was all his fault.

There is a feeling of wanting to escape, but not knowing where to escape to.

He was really upset, and impulsively ran out of the house, not knowing where to go. Finally, he came here and wanted to talk to his grandma.

Grandma Qian ate half a sweet potato and glanced at her listless grandson.

“You handled this matter incorrectly.

Your wife is in school and can't take care of the child, so you can take care of the child yourself.

How is it possible that you expect your mother to contribute money and effort but don't want her to express her opinion?

Your job doesn't require you to travel, and your children are in daycare, so you have time to take care of them.

You can take care of the children by yourselves, your mother doesn't have to spend any money or effort, so she won't have so many complaints. ”

Zhang Chaoheng thought that he couldn't take care of the child, and he himself couldn't do it.

Meeting his grandmother's eyes, he was unable to speak.

Yes, he is a man with healthy hands and feet, and he is not that busy at work. He doesn't take care of the children himself. In fact, he is just too lazy.

After lunch, Zhang Chaoheng left. He had made a decision in his mind and decided to carry it out.

Xu Di also knew the reason, so he smiled and said nothing.

She doesn't need help from her mother-in-law, and she won't come over to give orders.

She needs her grandmother's help and needs to discuss household matters with her grandmother.

People can't have everything.
