After the confinement period, Su Manwen, Yun Sheng and Su Qingze held a full-moon banquet for the little Fatty and then returned to Beijing.
Little Ayan has started school, and Su Mianmian is struggling with whether or not to go to work.
If I go to work, the little fat boy is only one month old and is too young. If I don’t go to work, I can’t always take leave, right?
Su Qingqing suggested, "How about finding someone to take your place for a while?"
Su Mianmian scratched her head irritably, "Who are you looking for?"
Su Qingqing thought about it and felt that if she wanted to find someone to take over the job, it seemed that only the educated youth at the educated youth site would be familiar with the job.
However, there are several other female comrades besides Song Hongmei at the educated youth site, and it is a problem who to take over.
It’s a bit worrying to think about it this way.
"Why don't you go to work? Take the little Fatty with you? Go find someone to make a little cart and push the little Fatty around."
Su Mianmian shook her head. "That's not going to work. Think about it. If Jiubao has trouble drinking milk, or has to poop, the other teachers in the office will have a hard time."
Su Qingqing imagined the scene and it was indeed a bit bad.
Su Qingqing suddenly had an idea. "Why not let Sister Xuxu go? Her memory has been restored, and she has a high school diploma. Little Afu is almost eight or nine months old, so drinking formula shouldn't be a problem."
Su Mianmian's eyes lit up. "That's fine. I'll help look after Xiao Afu and Jiubao and cook for you. I just don't know if Sister Xuxu agrees."
Just ask and you'll know. So she called into the room, "Sister Xuxu, is Ah Fu asleep? Come out to discuss something."
After hearing this, Liu Xu responded and quickly walked out.
"What's going on?"
Su Mianmian recounted what had just happened.
Liu Xu hesitated a little, "But I've never taught a child before. How about I help you take care of Jiubao, and you go to work?"
Su Mianmian frowned, "I thought so at first, but this fat girl is too young."
Liu Xu looked embarrassed. After a long while, she said tentatively, "Then let me try?"
Su Mianmian nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Tomorrow I'll take you to see Principal Huang and let you take my class. Oh, and Sister Xuxu, you might need a trial lecture. Don't be afraid to just give your lecture as you wish."
Liu Xu nodded, "Okay."
After the discussion, they chatted for a while, and Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan came back.
The two had dinner at Yun's house and then went home.
…
"Mianmian, Huaichuan and I are going to Shanghai tomorrow. We've already taken our leave. Did we ask the captain to issue us a letter of introduction when we return?"
Su Mianmian was surprised, "So soon? Captain Song and your director will agree?"
Shen Yuandao nodded, “Well, if you agree, just say that there is an emergency at home and you need to go back.
There's been basically no major events happening in the bureau lately, so Huaichuan and I just stayed in the office. Besides, we're both non-staff members."
Su Mianmian nodded when she heard that, went to the closet, took out the wooden box and handed it to him.
"When you get there, show the letter inside to Uncle Wen. The address and other information are all in the wooden box. You must take good care of it and don't lose it."
After that, he handed him another key and said, "Take this. There is a bigger key inside. It will be useful when you get the blueprints."
Shen Yuandao nodded and found his suitcase to put it in.
"I've noted it all down. By the way, who should I give the blueprints to after I find them?"
Su Mianmian climbed onto the kang, thought for a moment, and said, "My uncle asked me to send it to the army. Give it to whoever you trust. I feel like if you give it to them, they will understand."
Shen Yuandao nodded again.
Su Mianmian: "You guys left in such a hurry that I didn't prepare some food for you on the way. And some clothes too."
Shen Yuandao pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang, "No need to eat, Huaichuan and I will buy some buns, and then some steamed buns will be enough."
"Eat some steamed buns. There's still some chili sauce left at home. Take it. Oh, and we have to prepare something for Uncle Wen."
Su Mianmian patted her head and said, "What should I do now? I haven't prepared anything."
Shen Yuandao looked at her anxiously and took her into his arms, "Don't worry, I've got it all done."
"If you have all this time, why don't you accompany me..." At this point he suddenly leaned close to Su Mianmian's ear and said, "Exercise."
Su Mianmian's face turned red and she pushed him away. "You are so shameless."
Shen Yuandao laughed, "How shameless? It's a natural thing for a husband and wife to respect each other. Besides, it's been a long time since I last had meat."
Su Mianmian glanced at the sleeping little fat girl with a guilty look on her face. "Keep your voice down. What if you wake up my daughter?"
Shen Yuandao also glanced at his fat girl, and then his voice became softer.
"Just tell me whether you should exercise or not?"
Su Mianmian climbed onto the kang, lay down with her arms outstretched, and closed her eyes, "Come on!"
"Hey! Here comes my wife."
After saying that, he climbed onto the kang, took a special look at his fat girl, and then pounced on Su Mianmian.
…
"Mianmian, take a nap first. I'll make breakfast."
Su Mianmian was half asleep when she heard Shen Yuandao's voice.
She nodded randomly, "Well, I won't sleep anymore. I have to get up too. I have to go to school today."
Shen Yuandao pulled her up after hearing this, "Okay, wake up for a while, I'll go call Xiao Ayan to get up."
Su Mianmian nodded, then lay down and dozed off for a few minutes. She only got up with difficulty after Xiao Ayan came in.
Shen Yuandao touched her head and reached out to help her put on her clothes. "Are you still sleepy?"
Su Mianmian nodded, "I'm sleepy."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll go make breakfast." Shen Yuandao asked.
Su Mianmian shook her head and took the clothes from him. "I'll do it myself. You go make breakfast for Qingqing and Sister Xuxu."
Shen Yuandao kissed his daughter and daughter-in-law, "Okay."
After Su Mianmian put on her clothes, she took little Ayan to wash up.
After washing up, Shen Yuandao had already prepared the meal.
After breakfast, they took the remaining breakfast to the Yun family.
When they arrived at the Yun family, Liu Xu was just about to make breakfast, and Su Mianmian handed her the breakfast prepared by Shen Yuandao.
Liu Xu thanked him and started eating. At this time, Qin Huaichuan and Su Qingqing also came over.
Qin Huaichuan frowned when he saw the box in Shen Yuandao's hand, "No way! Old Shen, you're only going for a few days and you still bring a box?"
Shen Yuandao didn’t explain, he just said: “The box contains useful things.”
Qin Huaichuan understood and thought it might be a token of trust or something.
Su Mianmian pointed at the table and said, "Ayuan made breakfast. Let's eat and then we'll set off."
Su Qingqing pulled Qin Huaichuan to sit down and started eating with Liu Xu.
Su Mianmian went to the Yun family kitchen and took out a can of chili sauce and asked Shen Yuandao to put it in the suitcase.
It was only half past seven when they had finished their meal, and they sent Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan to the place where they were riding on the ox cart.
"When you two go to the commune, remember to buy some steamed buns and other things. Eat them on the way, don't forget."
