Chapter 232: Raising a baby and living at home
This book must have been passed down from someone's family. It contains ancient beauty recipes, and clearly indicates the preparation methods and usage.
It’s just that some things are hard to find, so Lin Xia can only put them in the bottom of the box for now. She can try to make them later.
There is no way to think about work in this situation now. Lin Xia is not in a hurry. After all, she has to wait until the two little ones can run before considering this matter.
Speaking of which, these two little guys are really easy to take care of. As long as their basic physiological needs are met, they basically won’t cry or make a fuss, and there will always be someone to play with them.
An An also likes these two very much. They want to stay together after school every day. Now that it is summer vacation, it is even more exciting.
Every time I open my eyes, I think about looking for my younger brothers and sisters, and I never get tired of playing with them all day long.
“An An!”
The yard door was open, and a few little heads were poking their heads out of the door and shouting inside.
"An An is at home, you can go in and find her." Lin Xia was weeding in the yard and looked at the little kids with a smile.
A few children went into the house happily, and walked out dejectedly after a while.
Lin Xia looked at him with amusement and shook her head. She must have been rejected by An An. Summer vacation finally came, but An An didn't want to go out at all.
The friends who used to play well with her were rejected several times when they came to her house. Lin Xia didn’t know what was so fun about two kids who couldn’t even speak, but they just had a lot of fun.
There are still a few roses left in the corner. The flowering season is almost over, and Lin Xia is reluctant to cut them off, wanting to keep them and look at them a few more times.
The jasmine flowers have just bloomed. The white flowers look very cute, and you can smell the fragrance of jasmine when walking in the yard.
Lin Xia did not use any pesticides on the mango tree that was moved here by the villagers. He just let it grow on its own. This year, it has produced a lot of fruits, which can be picked and eaten directly when they turn yellow.
Yang Hongmei was so envious that she asked why she had never thought of planting one in the yard before! She immediately wanted to get one herself, but it was the mango season, so she had to wait until later to transplant it.
There were enough mangoes on the tree for her family to eat, but not enough for her to make dried mangoes. So she went to the village to buy a few baskets, made dried mangoes, and sent them back to Beijing. It was a very nice gift.
The lychee tree in the corner has grown a lot taller, but it will definitely take several years before it bears lychees, so we have to wait a little longer.
Unfortunately, only one wall was planted at that time. The flowers looked beautiful after they bloomed, but there were too few of them. Remembering that there were still seeds left, Lin Xia planted them all around the wall without caring about the type.
It will definitely look great next year when the flowers bloom! Lin Xia thought happily while weeding the seedlings. She had experience with the vegetables in the yard and planted them early, so that she would have no shortage of vegetables other than meat.
She is very satisfied with her current life and even finds growing vegetables fun. No wonder so many people in later generations fled the city to farm in the countryside.
Reap the fruits of your labor with your own hands, and even the food you eat tastes delicious.
"Comrade Lin Xia has a package." The postman's voice came from outside the yard. Lin Xia often received packages from Beijing, and the postman was already familiar with her.
"Hey, here I come!" Lin Xia put down the shovel in her hand and walked out the door.
"Is it another package sent from home? It's really heavy this time!" The postman handed the receipt form to Lin Xia. Now that he was familiar with it, he didn't ask to check the documents again.
The package was quite heavy. After carrying it into the house, Lin Xia opened it and read the letter first. There were quite a few milk powder tickets in the envelope. The letter was written by Aunt Lu. In addition to the words of concern and greetings, it also stated that there were things sent by the Lin family in the package.
Lin's mother was taking care of two pregnant women at home and had no time to come to the island to see Lin Xia, but she sent a lot of things to the Lu family.
Aunt Lu told her not to save it, as it was not easy to get milk powder coupons in those days. The hospital had to certify that the child was malnourished before they could get them, and milk powder was not cheap.
Most families couldn’t afford it, and ended up feeding their children with rice soup.
Lin Xia packed the things in the package into the cupboard and put the milk powder tickets in a small notebook. She would go to the county to buy them after Lu Yuxiu had rested.
Lin Xia got an apple and fed the two children fruit puree with a spoon. She put them in baby seats. Although they could not speak, they already recognized that they wanted to eat.
Two pairs of eyes stared at the apple in Lin Xia's hand with extreme concentration.
Each of them took turns to have a bite, and sometimes they would make a fuss because they couldn't wait. An An was crunching the apple on the side, and the two little ones were drooling with greed. Lin Xia was slow in feeding them, and they couldn't wait any longer and stretched out their hands and cried.
"Here!" Lin Xia picked up the apple, cut it into two pieces, and let them pinch it and eat it.
Unfortunately, Xiaomi’s teeth haven’t grown out yet, so I can’t bite it at all. I can only taste a little bit of the fruit flavor.
Lele has a very cheerful personality and is still chewing the apple vigorously. The little one has realized that chewing the apple this way is not as delicious as the one fed by his mother, so he pinches the apple and makes babbling sounds to Lin Xia.
This little clever ghost!
Lin Xia then shaved fruit puree for her to eat, and asked her for the apple piece in her hand, but she refused to give it back and just wanted it all.
"You are quite clever!" Lin Xia tapped her nose with her finger. The silly brother next to her was still struggling with the apple. When he exerted force on his little face, the flesh on his face became puffy.
"Ah!" Ningning seemed to know that she was being talked about, and responded to Lin Xia with an "ah".
It seems that Lin Xia's concerns about feeding are different from those of other families. In other families, the children will not eat after being fed, but in their family, the children will make a fuss if they are not fed in time.
The children change every day and time flies. During this time, Lu Yuxiu went out on a mission and didn't come back for almost two months. The two little ones seemed a little unfamiliar with their father.
Lu Yuxiu approached and wanted to hug them, but they all moved away and were unwilling. Lin Xia saw that he looked a little lost and looked a little sad.
I had to comfort the man when he was feeling lost at night. Although the child was not close to him, at least his mother had not forgotten him!
It’s the Army Day of August 1st of that year.
The two little guys are more than six months old. They can’t crawl very well, but they are very curious. If there weren’t fences around them, Lin Xia would probably have to look for the children all over the house.
The two of them sat in the dining chairs with their own small bowl in front of them. In it was the tomato noodles made by Lin Xia. The noodles were cut short and had no salt. They were given a spoon to eat by themselves.
She specially found a piece of torn raincoat cloth, sealed the top, and made two bibs. This way, when she ate a meal, at least her clothes could be kept. As for what her face would look like after eating, that would be up to fate.
"Does everyone want to participate?" Lin Xia picked up the shrimps in the bowl and asked the person who was peeling them.
"This time there will be a rank-awarding ceremony during the day, and an evening party in the evening. There will also be performances by an art troupe, and military families can also participate." Lu Yuxiu explained in detail.
Lin Xia seemed to have noticed something, raised her eyes and met the man's bright eyes.
