Chapter 241 Noodle Eating Incident
After this day, a beauty-conscious trend swept the family quarters, and the virus began to spread from person to person.
Those who can afford it will make a paste with flour and honey, and those who can't will just cut some cucumber slices or something like that. When the women do this, the men dare not say anything when they see it.
Lin Xia is taking care of the children at home. Recently, the two little guys have been babbleing and have a strong desire to express themselves. Lin Xia thought, should she teach them to speak?
Taking care of a child is tiring but also healing. Except for the fever caused by teething, he is healthy otherwise.
Taking care of a child is relatively easy for Lin Xia. The most important thing is that she has a super awesome sister at home who is sensible and well-behaved. With Lin Xia's advance attention, she did not neglect An An.
The main reason is that the two children spend most of their time eating, drinking and sleeping, so everything will be fine as long as their physiological needs are met. By the time the little one starts to need attention, An An has long passed the period of insecurity.
So the scene that Lin Xia was worried about did not appear.
It is December now, and it is almost 1972. In two months, Ningning and Lele will be one year old.
"Hurry up, we are going out." Lin Xia packed her canvas bag and then packed two large packages.
Today is a rare day for Lu Yuxiu to rest, so the family plans to go out for a walk. The most important thing is that Lin Xia wants to take the two children to take a family photo. The farthest place the two children have ever been to is the family quarters.
Lu Yuxiu was waiting at the door with one little one in each hand, waiting for Lin Xia to come out. The two little ones were well-grown and chubby, so Lin Xia couldn't hold them for a while. But for Lu Yuxiu, it was nothing, he just treated it as weight training.
"Ma, fuck~" Lele stretched out his little hands to Lin Xia and asked for a hug. His pronunciation was not very accurate, and Lin Xia sometimes couldn't understand what he was saying.
"Here you go." Lin Xia thought he wanted the small notebook in his hand and handed it to him.
Lele reached out and took it and threw it away, then stretched out his little hand and muttered: "Go!"
"Mom, my little brother wants you to hold him." An An translated for Lin Xia while carrying something.
Lin Xia picked up the notebook, held the little hand in front of her and shook it, "You are too fat, mom can't hold you."
Lele took Lin Xia's hand and moved closer to her, rubbing her face against it as a gesture of appreciation.
She really couldn't hold them. The two of them were big eaters and had chubby little faces. They were still young and Lin Xia was afraid that they would be rubbed, so she usually held An An and rubbed their little faces. But when she saw them, the two of them learned to compete for her favor and vied to put their little faces into Lin Xia's hands.
It would be a shame if she didn't rub the little face that was presented to her. In this way, Lin Xia could play with the child happily every day. As the saying goes, children are meant to be played with.
Lin Xia pinched him gently, "Baby, you're too fat, be good and let daddy hold you!"
He was easy to coax, and the family of three set off for the county town.
Lin Xia went straight to the county town to take photos first, and asked the boss to develop them urgently. She planned to take this opportunity to send them directly back to Beijing, one copy for the Lin family and one copy for the Lu family.
Lin Xia had saved up all the cloth coupons for the year, so she planned to buy some new cloth for An An to make new clothes for the New Year. After shopping in the department store, the family went to a restaurant for dinner.
I ordered shredded pork noodles with less salt for the two little ones, and the noodles were pinched into small pieces because I was afraid that their clothes would get dirty when eating out, so this was one of the few times I got to hold them and feed them.
The appearance of the two little ones attracted a lot of attention in the restaurant, mainly because the whole family looked good, and the two little ones were even more attractive. They had fair and tender skin, and their little mouths moved very quickly when they ate.
"Eat quickly, look at your two younger brothers, they are eating so happily." An old lady next to them brought a little boy. The little boy was holding a small wooden figure in his hand and was playing with it enthusiastically. He was not interested in the food in front of him at all.
"Times!" Lin Xia tilted her head to look over. She was a step late in feeding Lele. The little guy couldn't help but hold Lin Xia's hand and stretched out his own hand to eat.
Lin Xia came back to her senses and concentrated on feeding Lele.
"I want to eat noodles too!" the little boy next door shouted, pointing at Lele's meal.
"No!" Lele didn't know if he understood or not, and he shouted "no" anxiously, fearing that his food would be snatched away by others.
The old lady pointed at the chicken in the bowl in front of her and said to the little boy, "This is chicken. I spent a lot of meat coupons on it. It tastes better than noodles!"
The little boy saw Lele and Ningning eating happily, and then he looked at the rice in front of him and became unhappy. He shouted loudly: "I want to eat noodles! Eat noodles!"
The voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of the people around. A young man who was sitting close to the ordering window heard the voice and immediately said to the staff, "I want a bowl of noodles like that."
The finger pointed in Lin Xia's direction. The little boy became even more violent when he saw it, and people around started pointing and talking.
The aunt looked very embarrassed and had no choice but to get up and buy noodles. It was lunchtime and many people were queuing up, so she had no choice but to wait in line obediently.
Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu helplessly, then at the little guy in his arms, who was eating happily with his little mouth. When he saw his mother looking at him, he smiled innocently.
Lin Xia smiled helplessly, pinched his nose, and continued to feed him.
By the time the little boy started eating the noodles, Lele was already full. He was in a good mood and looked at Lin Xia with his big smiling eyes.
"Great!" Lin Xia gave a thumbs up. This was a habit at home. As long as they completed something, Lin Xia would give them a thumbs up to encourage them. If they did something wrong, Lin Xia would frown and shake his head.
Over time, the two little ones also learned to read their mother's facial expressions, and Lin Xia gradually discovered the benefits of doing so. At least when mom frowned, it must have meant that she had done something wrong, and they would behave themselves from then on.
Lu Yuxiu fed the child and poured the remaining soup into his own bowl. The child did not dislike it and ate it quickly. The noodles, which had been left for a while, had become slightly lumpy.
After finishing the meal, he took the two children away, allowing Lin Xia to concentrate on eating.
After finishing their meal, the family of five prepared to go to the photo studio to get photos. After getting the photos, they went to the post office to pick up the stored package, put the photos and letters together and sent them out.
The child is still too young, and Lu Yuxiu cannot take a home visit leave this year, so he cannot return to Beijing. Lin Xia can only prepare some more dry goods and food and send them back.
Since you are occupying someone else's body, you still have to do what you should do. If you can't go back to visit them often, you can only send more things back to show your filial piety.
In the letter, she invited Aunt Lu and Lin's mother to come to the island to celebrate the New Year this year, as the climate here is much better than in Beijing.
Lin Xia didn’t know whether Lu Yuxiu would go somewhere else in the future, but she decided to keep a property here and live here when she got old or in the winter.
After sending the things, the family went home.
When the Chinese New Year was approaching in February, Lin Xia received a letter saying that Lin's father and mother had decided to come to their home island to celebrate the New Year and would arrive in the next two days.
In the evening, Lin Xia told Lu Yuxiu about this. Song Yu happened to be attending a meeting in Guangcheng, so she asked him to help pick someone up.
Lin Xia cleaned up the room early. Normally, no one lived here, but they had done a lot of bad things here, and she was afraid that if she wasn't careful, something bad might happen.
Lin Xia cleaned every nook and cranny, and felt relieved only when she saw that nothing was missed.
