The two of them came here today mainly to see the old man. Since Gu Xingshu fell asleep, there was no need for them to stay any longer.
After sitting downstairs for a while and talking with Ge Huiyun for a while, the two of them went back home.
On the way, the two of them also went to the vegetable market and the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a lot of things according to yesterday's menu. Some things were out of stock at this time, but they didn't hesitate and bought whatever they could.
The days will only get colder and colder, and vegetables will become increasingly scarce. After struggling for a while, Gu Zhao finally bought some seeds and took them home.
Their house has heating, and the whole building has unified heating. Although the winter is not as hot as the future floor heating, the temperature is not low either. At least they can stay in the house wearing a thin sweater.
Their next-door neighbors are an elderly family who have lived here for many years. In the winter, they would use boxes to grow some vegetables. They didn't grow much, but it was enough for the two of them to eat.
After Gu Zhao found out, he also thought about growing some vegetables at home. Since Tian Tian was pregnant, she must have a lot of things she wanted to eat. Unfortunately, supplies were scarce in winter, and you couldn't buy them even if you wanted to. It would be better to grow them yourself, which would allow you to change your taste in the winter.
After shopping, the two of them went home. They bought quite a lot of things today. The handlebars on both sides of the bike were full of things. Tian Tian also had a lot in her hands.
When they got home, the two of them carried their things upstairs and saw Tian Zhuo standing at their door.
"Why are you here?" Tian Tian was surprised and happy to see Tian Zhuo. Normally, Tian Zhuo was reluctant to come here. He was always worried that he would bring trouble to Tian Tian, so he seldom came here.
Except for the last Mid-Autumn Festival when Tian Zhuo came over for a meal, this is the third time Tian Zhuo has come over.
Tian Zhuo took the things from Tian Tian's hand. Gu Zhao's hands were full and he didn't have any extra hands to open the door, so Tian Tian went to open the door and let Tian Zhuo go in first.
"Mom, she called me last night!" Tian Zhuo took the slippers he had worn a few days ago and put them on at the door. "She said you were pregnant and asked me to come over to see you!"
Speaking of his sister's pregnancy, Tian Zhuo felt a little excited. He really liked children. His eldest brother didn't come back after his daughter was born, and they didn't see her. Tian Zhuo wanted to hug her, but there was no way.
Now that Tian Tian is pregnant, Tian Zhuo lives close to her and can come over often to take care of her.
"Just come over, why do you need to buy fruits? How much are these fruits?" Tian Tian put the fruits that Tian Zhuo brought back on the cupboard on the side.
The net bag was filled with apples and oranges, and it was obvious that they had been carefully selected. The apples were big and red, and the oranges were very round, without any damage on them.
"On my way here, I happened to run into people lining up to buy apples at the supply and marketing cooperative. I saw there were not many people there, so I went over to queue up and bought some," said Tian Zhuo.
"Why didn't I know that the supply and marketing cooperative was selling fruit today?" Tian Tian muttered.
She and Gu Zhao had just returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, and they didn't see any fruit for sale there, not even any fruit peels.
"Maybe I missed it!" Tian Zhuo smiled and turned around to see that there was a refrigerator in the living room. He hadn't seen this refrigerator when he came here a few days ago.
"This refrigerator was sent to us by my grandmother. She said she was worried that I would eat stale food, so she specially gave us a refrigerator to store things in!" Tian Tian yawned and watched Gu Zhao and Tian Zhuo put things into the refrigerator together.
She went over and shook Tian Zhuo's hand, which was icy cold. "Don't bother with your brother-in-law. Go sit aside and I'll get you some water!"
"You don't have to work with me. Just sit next to me and talk to your sister!" Gu Zhao also said.
Tian Zhuo sat down on the sofa next to him. Tian Tian poured him a glass of water from the thermos. They had just filled the water yesterday, so it was still a little warm today and just the right temperature to drink.
"You must have queued up at the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning, right?" Tian Zhuo's hands were so cold, he must have stayed outside for quite some time. There is a direct bus from their school to their home, and there is heating inside the bus, so it is quite warm, so his hands would not be so cold. The only explanation is that Tian Zhuo must have queued up at the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, and then came to their home early, but there was no one at home, and he waited outside their door for a long time.
Tian Tian, who was buying fruits, also knew that basically everyone knew about it one day in advance and then went to queue up early the next morning. It was basically impossible for someone like Tian Zhuo to queue up halfway when he saw that the queue was short.
Tian Zhuo first covered his hands with the cup of water, then took a big sip. The hot water flowed into his stomach and immediately dispelled some of the coldness in his body. He let out a long, comfortable breath, and when he heard what Tian Tian said, he smiled embarrassedly.
"Isn't it because they all say that it's good for pregnant women to eat fruit? And I heard that the supply and marketing society is selling fruit today, so I thought of buying some fruit for you!"
"Have you eaten breakfast? There happen to be some leftover food at home. Don't be disgusted. I'll heat it up for you!" Tian Tian said as she stood up.
Tian Zhuo didn't bother to be polite with his sister this time and nodded, but he still held Tian Tian and said, "Don't go get warm, just sit here and rest, I can get warm myself!"
"It's okay!" Tian Tian pressed Tian Zhuo's hand down, knowing that Tian Zhuo was worried that she was pregnant and that doing some work would make her feel uncomfortable. "I'm not that squeamish, just treat me as a normal person. The child is in my body, and I will pay attention when I need to. Besides, it's just heating up a meal, not asking me to do any heavy work. What can go wrong?"
When she said this, Tian Tianxin was already a little impatient, but she didn't show it.
Gu Zhao, who was listening, laughed and said, "Just let your sister do some work for a while. It's good for her health if she moves more. Tian Tian, there's not much water left in the thermos. Don't forget to boil some more water and put the seasonings in the box in the kitchen!"
Tian Tian's mood instantly improved and she went over to help with a smile.
There are two stoves in their house, one for heating meals and the other for boiling water. The breakfast is millet porridge and eggs specially cooked by Gu Zhao, with some pickled cucumbers, pickles, and stir-fried sweet potatoes. There is not much left, but the combination of these ingredients is enough to make people have a full meal.
