Chapter 63 New Year
When Tang Yue arrived, there were not many people left. Only a few people were still queuing, and the others had already taken the meat home.
When it was Tang Yue's turn, all that was left were lean meat and leftovers. People were short of oil and water, so all the fat meat had been picked out.
Fortunately, Tang Yue had no shortage of money, "Uncle, give me some spare ribs, please."
"Tang Zhiqing, there is no meat on the bones, it's not cost-effective. Although there is no fat, lean meat is better than this."
"It's okay, uncle, I just want some bone stew to drink, bone soup is more nutritious." Tang Yue knew that the butcher was also a good chef, so she explained to him.
"Really? You city kids know more. I'll save a few for my grandson." The chef didn't confirm whether it was true or not. He planned to save a few and stew them for his grandson. When his grandson was born, he had a bad year and was always weak. He used to feed him fatty meat, but the child didn't like meat and became even thinner.
"It's true. You have to stew it for a while, more than two hours is best. When he gets tired of it, you can add chestnuts, corn, mushrooms and the like to the soup. If you put more things in it, he won't get tired of it so easily, and his appetite will slowly improve." When Tang Yue heard that it was left for her grandson to eat, she felt more favorable towards the child now that she was pregnant, and talked more.
It didn't take long for word to spread, and all the remaining bones at the brigade headquarters had been bought up. Some people were still slapping their thighs as they hadn't bought any yet.
After all, in this day and age, everyone is a little malnourished. Now that they know bone soup can nourish the body, people are rushing to buy it. It’s cheap and anyone can afford it.
Tang Yue returned home carrying the bones. Looking at the ribs in front of her, she suddenly wanted to gnaw on the bones. There were too few bones, so she took out half a rack of ribs from the space and made 늅 sauce ribs.
Tang Yue was busy all afternoon, cooking a large pot of pork ribs, leaving a large bowl, which she brought to the table and ate, while the rest was stored in the space warehouse.
Tang Yue would feel very satisfied when she ate what she wanted. She would clean up the table and wash the dishes.
Tang Yue came to the bedroom and took out some pure cotton fabrics from the space warehouse, preparing to make clothes for the baby. She had to make more clothes for the four children, otherwise there would not be enough.
Spread the fabrics on the kang, and prepare to make four sets of each fabric. When the time comes, the babies will wear the same clothes. They will love them to death. The quilts can also be made of the same color. Make five sets of the same clothes for the babies from the first to three months old. Embroider the names of the eldest, the youngest, the third, and the fourth on the back of the clothes with embroidery thread. This way, the babies will not be confused, and all the same things can be distinguished.
Tang Yue was immersed in making clothes. When she was tired, she would walk into the space, and then transform the space with her mind. She planted flowers all over the ridges around the space. Except for the flowers for seeds, all the petals of the flowers planted in the front were stored in the storage compartment, and they would be used to make scented tea or essential oils in the future. The empty land was used to plant flowers that had never been planted before, and then she would continue making clothes.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, Tang Yue realized that people were celebrating the New Year outside. Tang Yue would not feel lonely celebrating the New Year alone. Compared with being alone in the modern world, she had the baby in her belly to accompany her this year.
Looking at the finished baby clothes in the kang cabinet, I suddenly felt very happy. I made five sets of clothes for the baby from the beginning to one year old. That should be enough. If not, I will make more when the time comes. Children's clothes are made very quickly.
During the Chinese New Year, Tang Yue did not plan to make clothes anymore. She wanted to eat something delicious. After a busy day, she prepared a New Year's Eve dinner with chicken soup, braised fish, duck and kelp stew, etc. Every dish and every soup was perfect. She hoped that everything would be perfect in the future.
Here Zhao Shengrui is spending the New Year in the army. All the officers and soldiers are making dumplings in the kitchen and eating them for dinner.
Zhao Shengrui felt uncomfortable when he thought about his wife spending the New Year alone. Chen Lei, who was standing by, comforted him and said, "It's New Year's Day, you should have some fun. There will be art soldiers coming to perform in the evening. What would that guy who pursued you two years ago look like when he finds out you're married?"
"What does it have to do with me? I never agreed to her. Besides, destroying a military marriage is illegal. I only like my wife." Zhao Shengrui had no impression of that person. He only remembered that she spoke in a delicate and artificial manner. He was married now. If she dared to come in front of him again, don't blame him for being rude and making her look bad. Now that his wife was pregnant, he couldn't let unstable factors affect her.
In the Beijing Military Region compound, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were having dinner together. Mrs. Zhao asked Mr. Zhao, "My daughter-in-law is alone over there for the New Year. She is lonely. I plan to go there after the New Year and stay with her for three months before going to live with her. What do you think?"
Father Zhao disagreed, "You forgot what your son said. If you go to your daughter-in-law's place, she won't be used to it, and it will be so embarrassing. Instead of spending that time thinking about these things, you might as well make some more clothes for the child so that she won't have enough to wear."
When Zhao's mother heard about making clothes, her eyes lit up, "Old man, you said that your daughter-in-law is pregnant with four children. Is there a granddaughter among them? There must be one of these four, right? I want to make beautiful clothes for my granddaughter, she will definitely look good in her clothes."
"You can't be partial to one and ignore the other, otherwise your daughter-in-law will be dissatisfied. This is all her fault. She will be hurt if you only like your granddaughter and not your grandson." Zhao's father was afraid that Zhao's mother would treat him differently and cause family conflicts.
Mother Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "How could I not know this? Don't worry, on the surface I will treat everyone equally. Whatever my granddaughter has, my grandson will have it too. These are my good things, and I will save them for my granddaughter as a dowry."
"Your youngest, eldest, youngest and third child have objections," Zhao's father filled in the blanks for her. In fact, he also wanted a granddaughter. Too many grandchildren were worthless. He had already considered whether he should step back if his youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter. The situation was becoming more and more tense. If he had a granddaughter, it would be a good excuse to withdraw from this vortex. He didn't want to take sides. It would be nice to have a grandchild in the future.
"I know. I won't let them find out. No one knows where I hide that thing anyway." Mother Zhao felt that it was good enough to help her daughters-in-law raise their children. Now it was her turn to help her youngest daughter-in-law take care of the baby. If they dared to object, she would show them how she would deal with them.
Father Zhao told Mother Zhao about his idea. Mother Zhao knew that since he had brought it up, he must have made up his mind. "Okay, it's better to withdraw. We're just waiting for our daughter-in-law to come. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her then. Even if we don't have a granddaughter, you can still help her out."
After being reminded by Zhao's mother, Zhao's father also reacted, "Indeed, it is not easy to take care of four children. Now it is not like before when we can hire a nanny. You two really can't take care of it. Okay, I will slowly withdraw first, and when my daughter-in-law is gone, I will directly retire and retreat to the front line."
Tang Yue didn't know that her parents-in-law were discussing waiting for her to retire and help take care of the baby. At that time, she was sitting on the kang, making quilts and keeping watch.
