At night, the courtyard was pitch black.
Song Jiayu used a one-week high school course study card and followed her brother Song Tianshun through the first semester of freshman year, starting with the Chinese textbook...
…
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow ~~"
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It was not Jiang Baizhou who woke Song Jiayu up early in the morning, but the crying of the baby in the compound.
A pair of eyes opened, but they were still blurry with tears and he was still unconscious.
The aroma of cooking rice dumplings wafted from outside the house, and she immediately woke up.
In 1960, the national constitution had not yet been promulgated and the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival were not holidays. There was not even the custom of visiting relatives and friends and rowing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival. With supplies being extremely scarce, it was considered a blessing to be able to eat a rice dumpling on that day.
Yesterday afternoon, Song Jiayu learned how to make rice dumplings with Aunt Cuihua, Jiang's mother. Nothing was added into the dumplings. People here only like to eat them with sugar. If possible, you can wrap some candied dates and red beans in them.
She quickly got out of bed, dressed and combed her hair, then went out to the sink to wash up.
When the rice dumplings are ready, I can’t wait to peel off the dark green rice dumpling leaves, insert chopsticks into them, wrap them in sugar, and take a small bite. The soft and glutinous rice dumplings, as well as the sweet taste, are delicious.
But it’s a pity that Song Jiayu still prefers eating rice dumplings.
After eating two rice dumplings, today's breakfast is solved.
Before going to work, Jiang Baizhou pointed to his cheek. When Song Jiayu leaned forward to kiss him, he turned his head and their lips happened to touch. His mouth felt a little sweet after eating rice dumplings. After the kiss ended, he was still a little reluctant. His slender white fingers wiped his wife's red lips, which were opened by Song Jiayu's hands.
"Go to your job!"
"My wife is so fierce!"
That face began to look aggrieved again.
"Okay, okay, isn't the factory going to distribute Dragon Boat Festival benefits today? Let's go to work."
Jiang Baizhou tapped his cheek with his hand without saying anything.
Song Jiayu kissed him again helplessly.
The young couple here are being affectionate.
The young couple opposite were looking at their baby in silence.
Gu Siyi: "The hospital is very busy. I need someone else to treat the disease and take Xiaotian there. I don't have time to look after him. If he is taken away by someone else, we will both be finished."
Lin Xue: "It's not working for me either. My desk is covered with all kinds of information. I usually don't let anyone in. I get so busy that I can't even take care of myself."
Gu Siyi: "Can you ask someone in the compound to help watch it for a day?"
Lin Xue: "Forget it, I'll take a day off today."
Compared to Gu Siyi's trust in everyone in the compound, Lin Xue does not.
The child's fate was resolved today, but Gu Siyi and Lin Xue still looked uneasy. What if Mother Gu didn't come back? What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?
Both of them were smart people, and they smiled bitterly after their eyes met.
Gu Siyi: "If it really doesn't work, I'll go home tomorrow and persuade my mother to come back."
Lin Xue nodded. She had to persuade him.
As soon as Gu Siyi left, Lin Xue was left alone to take care of the baby. This was the first time since the child was born.
Xiaotian smiled at his mother, revealing a few little teeth. His innocent smile gave Lin Xue some confidence. He was just a baby, how could she not take good care of him?
As it turns out, I really can't lead it well.
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow"
"Good baby, please stop crying, okay?"
"Wow wow wow wow"
“…”
The cries of babies and the helpless sounds of adults coaxing their babies echoed in the courtyard.
No matter what Lin Xue did, the baby continued to cry loudly.
Seeing that her throat was almost hoarse from crying, Lin Xue felt distressed. She didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not, walked out of the room, went outside the opposite house, opened her mouth and called out "Song Jiayu" softly a few times. The mosquito-sized voice made her feel that it was not okay, so she immediately raised her voice.
"Song Jiayu, are you home?"
The people in the house heard it and came out. When they saw Lin Xue, they knew that the little thing that would resolve the estrangement had come. They asked, "I'm here. What's wrong? Did something happen to your child?"
Lin Xue blushed a little, and her voice became softer again: "Yes."
"Then I'll go with you to take a look!" Song Jiayu walked out of the main room, closed the door slightly, and followed Lin Xue to the house opposite.
The little baby was lying on the kang, his face red from crying, his eyes full of tears, and he was howling with his mouth wide open.
Song Jiayu touched the baby's forehead and it wasn't hot.
"Are you hungry?"
"I just drank milk powder half an hour ago."
"Is that a diaper change?"
"I looked, and the little butt was clean."
Lin Xue answered one by one, with anticipation in her eyes, hoping that Song Jiayu could solve the problem.
"Don't look at me like that. I haven't given birth to a baby yet and I don't know how to take care of it. How about this, I'll ask for some help for you." Song Jiayu clapped her hands, hurried out of the room, and went to the compound to find Aunt Cuihua.
Xiong Cuihua came to help without saying a word. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the baby crying and sweating. She walked over, picked up the baby, patted the back gently, walked around the room, and coaxed the baby.
Gradually, the baby really stopped crying.
Song Jiayu:!
Lin Xue:!!!
"Xiaotian wants to go out and play. He is carried out for a walk around the yard at this time every day. Occasionally, he goes out to play under the big tree at the end of Tianwen Lane. The little kid can't speak yet, so he can only express himself by crying." After Xiong Cuihua finished speaking, she handed Xiaotian, who had stopped crying, to Lin Xue and motioned for someone to take him out to take a look.
Lin Xue, who didn't quite believe it, carried her son out. Her big dark eyes looked at the courtyard, a smile hung on her little face, and she opened her mouth and uttered the single word "go".
This performance...has to be believed.
Lin Xue said, "Thank you, Aunt Cuihua, and thank you, Jiayu."
Song Jiayu shook her head: "I just went to help call for help, but Aunt Cuihua is still useful."
Xiong Cuihua was very happy to be able to help: "I only know how to take care of children. I raised Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Baba by myself. I am not as skilled as you, Lin Xue, nor do I know as much as Jiayu."
Song Jiayu disagreed: "I do know a lot, but I don't know how to take care of children. Aunt Cuihua knows this, isn't it amazing?"
Lin Xue nodded silently. She couldn't praise people as directly as Song Jiayu. That was her personality. But after hearing this, her impression of Aunt Cuihua changed.
Next, Xiong Cuihua told Lin Xue a lot of her experience in raising children, and Song Jiayu listened in.
After saying this, Song Jiayu took out some melon seeds and gave a handful to each of them. She said, "Aunt Cuihua, you haven't finished telling me about what happened at the deputy director's home yesterday. Let's continue."
Lin Xue grabbed a handful of melon seeds in surprise, and walked around with the little kid in his mother's arms. The kid was very well-behaved in his mother's arms, staring at the melon seeds. Seeing that the three adults were eating and not paying attention to him, he let out an angry "Ah--".
Song Jiayu quickly touched the little kid's face, walked to the potted plants under the eaves, found a few ripe wild berries, washed them, and quickly returned to the melon-eating team. "Little cutie, it was Auntie who forgot about you. Don't be angry with Auntie. I'll treat you to some berries."
