Chapter 60: Su Mingmei becomes the principal?
Gu Qiqi ate the millet and pumpkin porridge that her grandma cooked for her.
The pumpkins were grown in the space, and the millet was bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ever since Qibao was able to eat complementary foods, Dong Yulan has been eager to cook all kinds of food for her.
But because Qibao is still young, and because of Su Mingmei's supervision, Dong Yulan could only suppress the urge to show off her cooking skills to Qibao, and choose simple things that Qibao can eat.
For example, today I have millet and pumpkin porridge, tomorrow I have vegetable and lean meat porridge, and the day after tomorrow I have millet and sweet potato porridge…
Gu Qiqi eats an egg yolk with milk every morning, eats staple food and fruit at noon, and drinks milk and eats a small amount of vegetables in the afternoon.
She will be one year old in a few days.
"The second child from your aunt Bai's family will be here in a couple of days. Then you will have another brother to love you." Su Mingmei couldn't help but mutter to herself as she fed Qibao porridge.
Ever since Bai Xiumei came back from Beijing after the New Year, the two families have often visited each other and have a particularly good relationship.
Bai Xiumei likes Qibao very much and often buys various things for her.
"But your Aunt Bai said that her second child has a weird temper and doesn't like to talk to people. But our Qibao is so well-behaved and cute, he will definitely be loved by everyone!"
A row of black lines slid down Gu Qiqi's forehead. She was still loved by everyone, but she was not RMB.
After feeding Gu Qiqi porridge, Su Mingmei handed her to Su Qingshan and went to prepare today's lunch.
Su Qingshan wiped Qibao's mouth cheerfully and said, "What do you want to play with, Qibao? Do you want to play with building blocks? Grandpa has made new building blocks for you!"
"No playing, go to sleep!" Gu Qiqi shook her head and uttered a few words in a baby voice.
Recently, her cultivation has shown signs of improving again, and it looks like she will soon break through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Rather than stacking those boring building blocks, Gu Qiqi would rather sleep and practice.
Moreover, when practicing, the spiritual energy circulates throughout the body, which is more comfortable than sitting at home.
"Why are you sleeping again? How about we play for a while before sleeping?" Su Qingshan was stunned.
It was okay for Qibao to sleep more when he was a baby, but he is almost one year old now. Is it normal for him to sleep all day?
He really wanted to develop more hobbies for Qibao, such as building blocks, playing with mud, digging sand...
Unfortunately, Qibao has no interest in any of these and only likes sleeping.
"I'm tired, let's go to sleep!" Gu Qiqi continued to shake her head, and walked towards the cradle with her short legs, swaying from side to side.
The soft little hands grasped the wall of the cradle, one leg was raised, and the posture was as if he wanted to straddle it right away.
Su Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only carry Qibao to the cradle himself.
"Grandpa, don't disturb me!" Before closing her eyes, Gu Qiqi reminded Su Qingshan in a baby voice.
Avoid disturbing others during their practice.
Normally when she falls asleep, her family won't disturb her.
But grandpa is an exception. Maybe he is really too bored and always wants to play with her.
"Okay, Grandpa promises not to disturb you!" Su Qingshan promised helplessly, but he felt a little jealous in his heart.
The attraction of sleeping with her was even greater than that of him, a master, playing with her!
Su Qingshan felt that the time that Guaibao spent with him every day was too short. Of the 24 hours in a day, most of it was spent sleeping, and the remaining few hours of wakefulness had to be shared by the whole family.
Su Qingshan was full of resentment.
Gu Qiqi closed her eyes, sank her consciousness into space, and began to practice.
"Okay, dear girl, go to sleep. If you are bored, go pull out the weeds in the vegetable garden!" Dong Yulan ordered.
"There is no grass here. You and dad have pulled all the grass inside out. It hasn't grown anything yet!" Su Mingmei, who was picking vegetables in the yard with a bamboo basket, said when she heard this.
Oddly enough, they originally just wanted to give it a try when growing vegetables in the yard.
As a result, the growth of these vegetables, fruits and melons was unexpectedly good.
At a glance, the cabbages in the yard were green, the eggplant branches were full of crystal clear and plump purple eggplants, and the green and red peppers on the pepper branches were bent...
Loofah, beans, tomatoes...
When I was planting vegetables, I planted a little of each kind. The various vegetables were intertwined together, which looked particularly beautiful!
Except for fish, meat and eggs, which need to be bought outside, vegetables are basically self-sufficient, and these vegetables are harvested one after another, so they can't be eaten up at all!
Su Mingmei would pick some leftover vegetables to feed the chickens.
The chickens at home are also growing very fast. The chicks we bought at the end of March have grown into adult chickens in July. It looks like it won’t be long before the four hens will be able to lay eggs.
Once the hens start laying eggs, they won't even have to buy eggs.
"I think your dad is just too idle. It would be best if he could find something to do!" Dong Yulan couldn't help but mutter.
Su Mingmei nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Jianguo to see if there is any work in the army that he can do!"
But she thought the possibility was small.
After all, there is only one job for every person, and jobs are the most in-demand at this time. Many people can’t find a decent job no matter how hard they try.
Better work can be sold for thousands of dollars.
Su Qingshan retired from his original cotton textile factory and gave his job to Su Mingyuan.
Her mother Dong Yulan usually does some sewing and mending work at home, but since she came to the staff quarters, she, like her father, has devoted all her attention to Qibao.
Add Su Mingmei to the mix, and it's like there are three idle people taking care of one baby at home.
Gu Qiqi is not as difficult to take care of as other children. She sleeps a lot every day and is well-behaved and not noisy, so most of the time the three of them have nothing to do.
"If anyone in our family compound has sewing and mending work to do, they can take it to me and do it at home!" Dong Yulan added.
She felt that she was too idle.
I feel anxious when I'm idle for too long.
The yard at home looks big and there are a lot of vegetables planted there, but it simply cannot withstand the work she and her husband put in.
They pulled out all the weeds in the vegetable garden.
There is really nothing left to do.
Su Mingmei picked two loofahs, a handful of water spinach, and a handful of beans.
At noon, it is enough to make some loofah and egg soup, stir-fry some water spinach with garlic, and stew some green beans.
Since the vegetables in the yard started growing, they have been eating different dishes every day...
I don’t know if it’s because they grew them themselves, but they think these vegetables are better than those bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Even if you don't add anything, it tastes good when boiled.
At night, after washing up.
Lying on the bed, before Su Mingmei could ask, Gu Jianguo spoke first.
"There are more and more children aged three to six in our family compound. The group is planning to open a kindergarten. The candidates for teachers are still being considered, but Xiao Tuan wants you to be the head of the kindergarten!"
Su Mingmei was stunned: "You mean, you want me to go out and work as the director of this kindergarten?"
She hadn't even had the chance to ask her dad about a job, but the job found her first?
"That's what I mean. Xiao Tuan is more optimistic about you, but it depends on your opinion and what your parents think. After all, Qibao is still young!" Gu Jianguo nodded and said.
