"Aunt Zhang, who is this young lady?" Dong Ping asked with interest, looking at the fair-skinned and delicate-looking girl.
“She is my adopted daughter, her name is Zhou Shi, Shishi. This is your sister Wanwan’s sister-in-law, you can call her Sister-in-law Dong. Nannan is her daughter.”
Zhang Tong introduced the two parties.
If you get to know one more child from the neighborhood, your little girl will have another playmate.
However, Nan Nan is too young, so they might not be able to play together. The little girl loves to run and climb, and with Nan Nan's short legs, it's a problem.
So she's Wanwan's sister-in-law.
Oh right, she overheard Xiao Dongzi saying outside Xiao Fanzi's dorm that night that they would get married when Wanwan's brother and sister-in-law came back, hehe, there would be a wedding feast.
"Hello, Sister Dong. My name is Shishi. I'm the wife of Xiao Dongzi's good brother, Chou Dan. Xiao Dongzi said that when you come back, he will hold a wedding banquet with Sister Wanwan."
"Hello little sister, my name is Shishi, goodbye."
After saying that, she went into her own yard, leaving Dong Ping with a lot of questions.
The little girl's face was gleaming; the way she looked at me just now was as if she were eyeing a delicious-smelling piece of meat.
Zhang Tong explained with a smile.
"Stinky Egg is Xie Lin, and Little Dong is Zhang Dong. These are their playful nicknames. Little Zhang told her before that he would get married and have a wedding banquet with Wanwan when you two come back, and she has remembered it."
Dong Ping was stunned. "Battalion Commander Xie got married?"
She's only been gone for a little over two months, how come she's already brought a wife back?
The young girl is beautiful and well-cared for, so she must come from a good family. Moreover, she is the goddaughter of the Xiao family. Xie Lin has really climbed the social ladder.
Zhang Tong nodded, "Yes, they got married, and Xiao Xie is now a deputy regimental commander."
Getting promoted and getting married—double happiness!
"Congratulations!" Dong Ping sincerely congratulated her.
"Thank you, I'll go in now. I still need to cook for the children. Let's chat sometime."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, you can go ahead and do your work."
"Mommy, that older sister is holding two chicks, and Nannan wants to play with the chicks too."
"That's a pheasant, you can't play with it, sweetie. Let's go find Auntie. Mommy will go to the cafeteria later to see if there's any meat. We'll get some meat for Nannan, okay?"
Okay~
Chou Chou and Xiao Shi went to the cafeteria and brought back a basket containing five strips of pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, each weighing three jin (approximately 1.5 catties).
"Auntie, the guy at the cafeteria said that our family gets two pieces, and Xingxing's family, Daya's family, and Shen's family each get one piece, and he asked us to take them to them."
Zhang Tong took out two strips, gave one to the Shen family next door, and told them to deliver the rest to other families.
After thinking about it, she decided to chop one piece of meat into filling and use it to make cabbage and pork dumplings, and braise the rest of the meat tomorrow.
Pork doesn't keep well in this weather, but pheasants are alive and can be kept for a couple more days.
No one objected; the boiled water was just right for the children to bathe in.
She went inside, grabbed a handful of candy and put it in her pocket. When she came out, she heard that there was no need to kill the chickens, and Shishi was about to take them out to play again.
My main purpose is to go and chat with that Aunt Guo. Aunt Guo lives next door to Zhou Miao, so I can tease her. Hehe, she's really clever.
"Mommy, I don't want to take a bath. It's too early. I want to go play. Ugly, little master, run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out like a madman.
The two pheasants clucked as she dragged them along.
Zhang Tong and Han Shuyun exchanged a smile.
"Sister Zhang, with such a lively child at home, life is never boring."
"That's right. Ever since Shishi came to our home, I feel like I've become younger."
"Shuyun, let's go knead the dough and make more dumplings. We'll call Lixiang and her husband to come along later."
"The three mischievous monkeys went off to play and will naturally come back when they get hungry."
"Okay, I'll go help you. Lao He, you knead the dough later."
"good."
Zhang Tong went inside and scooped out some flour, telling the couple to get to work, while she called out to the neighbors.
"Lixiang, don't cook dinner tonight, come over here and have dumplings."
Yao Lixiang came out of the house. "Sister Zhang, then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll provide the eggs and vegetables, and we can stir-fry two dishes to go with it."
"become."
While they're busy enjoying the delicious food, on the other side...
The pheasant is going up the stairs.
The person who tied the vines was really cruel, letting them thrash about on their own without pulling or helping them.
The three of them even squatted on the stairs to watch.
"Isn't this chicken supposed to be able to fly? Why hasn't it flapped up for so long?"
"It might be tied up and unable to fly."
"They didn't tie the wings, could it be because tying the neck restricts blood flow?"
...
Fifteen minutes later, the two chickens finally completed their mission and climbed to the third floor.
The reason I'm so bored is because Guo Qiuhong wasn't home when I knocked on the door earlier, so I brought out chicken to relieve my boredom.
Just as the chickens were brought up, Guo Qiuhong returned, carrying a warm, sun-dried quilt in her arms, followed by several other military wives, also carrying quilts.
"Sister Guo, I'm here."
Guo Qiuhong sighed inwardly, "That little girl really does what she says."
"Comrade Zhou is here. Come sit at my house. I'm tidying up. The weather suddenly changed and the wind picked up. It's probably going to rain later."
rain?
Shishi looked up at the sky; it was dark, and the wind was picking up.
It's okay, it won't affect her walking the chickens.
She tugged at the vine, and the two chickens, who had been pacing back and forth with small, quick steps, began to cluck.
At this moment, Zhou Miao returned with a long face, as if someone owed her money, followed by two thin girls.
They are Xu's two children from his ex-wife's previous marriage. Their only grandmother in the countryside has passed away, and Xu Jianghai was away on a mission and couldn't contact her, so he asked someone to send the children over.
The poor old woman couldn't even see her son one last time.
Just after Shishi got home, someone called Zhou Miao to go out and pick her up.
"Aunt Guo, how did they get into that man's house?"
