The man worked secretly at night to prevent the mother and her two children from getting hurt. If you don't warm it up, your heart will become cold over time.
Huo Donglin just walked into the yard.
He glanced at her, his eyes swept across her pale face, and his thin lips pursed even tighter.
"Don't bother, just go to the training ground. Morning exercises will start soon. I'll ask Brother Changguang to get breakfast from the cafeteria later. You can sleep a little longer."
He locked the gate and walked a long way before stopping.
Look back.
After waiting for about two minutes, the light in Courtyard No. 7 finally went out, and then I started walking again into the night.
Jiang Ningning thought she would not be able to sleep when she returned to the bed. She smelled the milky fragrance emanating from the two little balls beside her, and her heart felt unbearably soft everywhere.
My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and soon I fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the sun had already climbed up the branches. The air around me was empty and had long lost its warmth.
I don't know when the two little ones got dressed and got up by themselves. I never needed to worry about or get help with these little things that were within their ability.
Jiang Ningning lay on the bed, looking at the old-fashioned chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
She accepted the twins so quickly and stepped into the role of mother because the cubs were so well-behaved and cute.
As I was thinking about it, a "wow wow" sound came from the main room, full of suppressed surprises.
In the living room.
Xia Xia raised her head and covered her brother's mouth directly, her little face looking fierce and cute, "Manman, be gentle, don't wake up your mother."
Manman blinked her big eyes at her sister, indicating that she understood, and continued to turn the Rubik's Cube with her white and tender fingers.
"Stupid, the top color is on the right. Put the middle edge blocks back in place and make sure the side colors are aligned, and then you can solve it."
Xia Xia thought her brother was stupid, so she used her Rubik's Cube to demonstrate to him.
There was no need to think at all, as his fingers moved flexibly based on intuition and recovered in less than half an hour.
Manman suddenly realized that his sister was always better than him in arithmetic.
Following the method taught by his sister, the clever Manman quickly learned the inference.
By rotating the bottom layer and the sides, the white side pieces are aligned with the core piece, forming a white cross, and then the 껩 is untied.
"Wow, sister, you are amazing!"
Manman's big eyes curved, "Sister, you should be a bus conductor in the future. You will definitely not get your salary deducted for making a mistake in the calculation."
Xia Xia thought about it and felt it was reliable. She nodded seriously: "I will support my mother."
The brother and sister put their heads together and calculated with their little fingers how much money was enough to support their mother.
The two little baby voices sighed, "Mom is too thin and needs to eat meat every day," and then they planned, "I need to buy lots of beautiful dresses for Mom to wear."
After finally doing the math, Xia Xia hung her head and said, "It seems like the salary of a cashier is not enough to support my mother."
Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law downstairs is a bus conductor. Aunt Wang's favorite thing to do is to move a small stool and sit at the door of the corridor every evening.
She brags to everyone that her daughter-in-law earns twenty yuan a month and how much benefits she received this month.
Twenty yuan sounds like a lot, but after careful calculation, it is only enough to buy 25 grams of pork.
Not even a month.
The two little glutinous rice balls faced each other and sighed.
Jiang Ningning burst out laughing. It was so funny. Why was her baby so cute?
"Mother!"
"Mom, wake up."
When the two boys heard the noise, they turned around and ran into Jiang Ningning's arms. One kiss on the mother's back cheek, and the other kiss on the mother's right cheek.
Still a little shy after the kiss, the brother and sister buried their heads in the crook of her neck, their earlobes red and dripping with blood.
In response, they received a kiss from their mother.
The brother and sister blinked their big eyes and felt that they loved their mother a little more today.
But for Manman, hating Heidan’s dad is +10,000.
Even when they heard Jiang Ningning telling them about Huo Donglin polishing furniture in the middle of the night, that embarrassing scene came back to their minds.
The little chin raised.
Humph, he won’t be corrupted by the enemy’s sugar-coated bullets!
Jiang Ningning rubbed his head gently.
The conflict between father and son was left to them to deal with themselves, and Huo Donglin would not hide what he did to the child from them.
"Mom, Heidan's dad bought a lot of things."
Xia Xia was more rational. Her little brother took Jiang Ningning's big brother's hand, walked into the second bedroom, and pointed at the things on the floor and showed them to her one by one.
"Uncle Changguang said this is a Red Lantern brand radio. You can listen to the radio by installing batteries. The one next to it is called a tape recorder. When you play a tape, someone will sing... But I don't know what the big machine in the corner is?"
“It’s a washing machine!”
Jiang Ningning knew that Huo Donglin brought a lot of things last night, but she didn't expect it to be a bunch of home appliances.
Especially the washing machine, it is so practical.
No wonder he had to sneak it in at night. It would be too conspicuous during the day and the neighbors would easily report him as petty bourgeois.
It must be not easy to get this pile of stuff into the base. Thinking of the man's gluttonous appearance last night, he even used the vegetable soup to dip the steamed buns.
Jiang Ningning decided to make something delicious to reward him in the evening. She picked up the Feihe milk powder piled in front of the washing machine and opened the lid. "Mom will make some milk powder for you."
Milk powder is more expensive than malted milk and has a higher protein content. One small spoonful of malted milk can be mixed with a large glass of water.
Jiang Ningning was not the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for her children. Her body was too weak and she needed more nourishment, so she drank a large cup without hesitation.
The mother and her son sat in a row in the yard, each holding a cup, basking in the warm morning sun, her eyes curved with joy.
When neighbors passed by, they were all healed by the comfortable scene before their eyes.
Both of them are little balls of four or five years old. The twins, a boy and a girl, of the Huo family are neatly dressed and have fair and tender cheeks.
And the naughty boy at home was playing with mud and urine in the corner.
This contrast is really too eye-catching.
At this moment, Zhang Yun from the next door courtyard came over with a small basket, her face was bruised and swollen, and she had lost all her previous arrogance.
Following behind him was a boy who was so fat that he had difficulty walking. As soon as he entered the door, he sniffed the air hard with his nose.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, there was really a misunderstanding yesterday. These are eggs laid by the old hen that I raised. I'm giving them to the twins to nourish their bodies." Zhang Yun said in a flattering tone and handed over the basket hesitantly.
Jiang Ningning didn't take it. She drank a glass of water slowly before refusing, "Comrade Zhang, you don't have to be polite. You can take the eggs back."
Zhang Yun put the eggs on the ground with a smile: "Are you still angry? I've already apologized to you, why bother about it? Don't be petty in life, it's a blessing to suffer losses."
"Then I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as short as a flower that blooms overnight."
Jiang Ningning tilted her head and spoke sincerely about the most irritating phone call.
Zhang Yun was choked and her face immediately turned a little awkward. She then thought of something and tried to control herself. She continued with a smile that was uglier than crying, "As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We should help each other out when something goes wrong. When Comrade Huo was in the army, it was Old Zhao from our family who helped him out and gave him advice. It's not a big deal. It was just a word from Comrade Huo."
