Chapter 43

Because of Xu Mei's incident, the atmosphere in the Xu family was not good for several days.

Although Xu's mother was somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Mei, she blamed her for acting on her own, not discussing anything with her family, and not explaining the situation clearly when looking for a partner.

However, as a mother, how could she really ignore her daughter's marriage?

While being angry, he also had to prepare wedding things for Xu Mei.

Apart from anything else, I had to make new bedding and prepare a set of clothes. It was far away, so many things couldn't be bought and it would be too troublesome to bring them over.

Xu's mother prepared the tickets in advance and bought them whenever she saw something suitable.

Xu Di is growing up now, and he needs to prepare for the near future.

Supplies are in short supply now, and it's the same for every household. If you find something suitable, just buy it and put it away. Otherwise, when you really need it, it may not be available.

During the weekend, Xu Di and Xu Jun watched Xu's mother busying around in the house, but they could do nothing to help.

"Second sister, what do you think our mother is doing when she is so angry with our eldest sister that she is dying? Why is she still bothering to prepare things for her?"

Xu Jun has been much more obedient these days. His mother is angry, and he dares not show off, for fear of being implicated and having to settle accounts with both big and small people.

"You don't understand, how can a mother really care about her own child."

Xu Di thought about her previous life. Didn’t she survive those years when her son was most rebellious?

"Second sister, I don't understand. How much more do you know than me?"

"What do you know, little brat?"

Xu Di held Xu Jun down and rubbed his hair.

"Second sister, I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare my life..."

The brother and sister were playing in the living room. Mother Xu listened and the anger in her heart unconsciously eased.

Time will not stop because of a person, nor will it flow backwards because of an event.

Half a month had passed since Xu Mei's letter was received, and the atmosphere in the Xu family had returned to normal.

It’s not long before the Chinese New Year, and Xu Di thought that next time she has a break, she will take out the fruits in the space.

Two days ago, she bought two bananas and a pineapple on the street. They were brought back by educated youth who came back from the south to visit their relatives.

With the appearance of such a rare fruit, her apples, pears, persimmons and the like would not make any splash at all.

The most important thing is that there are not too many fruits in the space, and all together, there are only more than a thousand kilograms.

There are also some plums, apricots and cherries that cannot be sold.

When Xu Di was planning how to make money, the second letter from Comrade Zhang Chaoyang arrived.

It was still sent to the department store. Xu Di took the letter from the mailroom and went straight back to his desk.

It's the end of the year and they have a lot to do. They were so busy that they forgot about Comrade Zhang.

Before the team leader arrived, Xu Di opened the letter. She was a little curious about what Zhang Chaoyang would write.

"Hello Comrade Xu Di:

I just came back from a mission and received two letters from you. First of all, I apologize for not replying to you in time.

I have read your letter. Thank you for your understanding and support of my career.

I am a rather dull person and not very good at saying nice things. The relationship with my parents is also rather weak, and I am not very close to my brothers and sisters.

The only thing I'm worried about is my grandma. If we can finally be together, I hope you can live with my grandma so we can take care of each other.

My grandmother is a very nice and reasonable person, and she is an old revolutionary.

There are some things that are not convenient to say in a letter. I want to tell you in person when we meet.

If we get married, my time at home will be limited, but I will definitely hand in my salary on time.

I will be loyal to my marriage, loyal to my family, and loyal to my wife.

Hope to see you soon, and wish you all the best. ”

Xu Di put down the letter and imagined what Zhang Chaoyang looked like in his mind.

She only knew that he was 1.80 meters tall and knew nothing else.

Whether it's the square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes that is popular in this era, or the small face with small eyes, Xu Di is actually a little looking forward to it.

From Zhang Chaoyang's letter, Xu Di knew that he approved of this disguised blind date, and the two of them continued to communicate through letters.

It is said that transportation was slow in the 1960s and 1970s, and people could only love one person in their lifetime.

Xu Di no longer desires love. She has no idea what love is. I just hope that my future life will be simple, warm, and not full of chaos.

After sitting on the stool and thinking about random things for a while, Xu Di put away the letter and prepared to work. She heard the footsteps of the team leader approaching from afar.

They were busy checking manifests and adjusting goods all day long.

"Oh my, it's finally time to get off work. I feel like my neck is going to break."

Sister Tang stood up, tilted her neck back, and swayed from side to side.

"Sister Tang, I heard the noise."

"Yes, it's kabakaba, it feels like it's going to break."

Sister Tang also heard the sound of her joints. Alas, she can’t find a Chinese medicine doctor now, otherwise she would feel much better if she went to massage him.

"Xiao Wang, your wife is about to give birth, right?"

The team leader asked as if he had just remembered this.

"Yeah, soon, at the end of this month."

Wang Wei has dark circles under his eyes; he hasn’t been getting enough sleep lately.

In the later stages of her pregnancy, his wife suffered from leg cramps all the time, and she tossed and turned several times a night.

"Let us know when the baby is born, and we'll have a festive egg."

"I won't forget it. I just hope this little guy can get out soon. It's too torturous."

Wang Wei and his wife are looking forward to the baby being born soon. From pregnancy to now, it has been really torturous!

"Xiao Wang, I can tell from the fact that you are a father for the first time, that's why you say such things.

After the baby is born, you will sigh countless times that it would be better if it stayed in the belly. ”

This is the experience of Sister Tang, who has been through it all. Once the child is born, there will be more problems.

Xu Di recalled that in her previous life, after she gave birth, her mother came to see her twice. Her mother-in-law was always there, but she was only concerned about the child and was extremely perfunctory to her as a pregnant woman.

During that month, she was self-reliant and received no special treatment.

Don’t think about it anymore. It’s all in the past and it affects your mood.

"Sister Tang, you are not trying to scare me, are you?"

Wang Wei looked nervous and afraid.

"If the child is worry-free, it's to scare you."

Sister Tang also didn't want Xiao Wang to suffer psychological trauma, so she smoothed over the situation.

Wang Wei was worried and looked at several female comrades in the office. Oh, getting married is so troublesome!

"Oh, it's time to get off work. I won't say anything more. I still have to come back to cook."

Sister Tang packed up her things quickly and left the office like a gust of wind.

"Alas, married women really have no life of their own!"

Meng Jiao frowned and sighed.

She has been going on blind dates recently and she is almost in despair. The ones who are good-looking don’t come from well-off families, and the ones who come from well-off families don’t look good.

Why aren't there people who are both good-looking and have good family conditions?

"Team leader, I'm leaving first."

Xu Di said hello to the team leader and left the office with his bag.

It’s not that she didn’t notice Meng Jiao frowning, but their relationship was average and she didn’t want to bring bad luck.

As he walked out of the office building, a cold wind blew and Xu Di shivered. It was too cold.

I really miss down jackets, but unfortunately, up to now, Xu Di has never seen anyone wearing a down jacket.

In theory, there should be down jackets now. She vaguely remembered that down jackets seemed to have been around in the 1960s.

It is said that it was prepared for team members who climb snow-capped mountains, but she is not sure whether it is true or not.

Xu Di retracted his hand and trotted to the bus stop. Fortunately, the car arrived within two minutes.

Alas, there is not much difference in temperature between inside and outside the car.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and everyone was sitting next to each other, so it was a lot warmer, but the smell was a bit unpleasant.

Along the way, Xu Di was squeezed here and there, and every time the driver braked, Xu Di was squeezed out of shape.

I finally got off the bus, and the thought of the same thing happening tomorrow gave me a headache.
