Miao Xiuying continued, "When the higher-ups loosen up their control, we'll build a two-story Western-style house in our hometown, where our family can live together. It will be so harmonious with four generations living under one roof. We have to hurry up and make money."
Lu Jianguo had been hooked by the big picture she painted, and he nodded rapidly.
"Yes, yes, I have never lived in a small western-style building, or you dare to imagine it."
Miao Xiuying gave him a glare and said, "Coward, I just dared to think about it. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go wash up first. Don't stay in the room and laugh like an idiot when guests come. Don't embarrass Xiaoyan."
Lu Jianguo got up from the bed, tidied up, and went to the kitchen. Seeing Lu Li busy, he gave him an appreciative look.
"Not bad, kid, you've made progress. Your mother and I can relax a little now."
Lu Li said without even looking up: "Can you stay idle? There is hot water over there. Wash your face first. My sister-in-law is going to buy groceries."
Song Jingtian was the last one to get up. She held Guan Guan's hand. Guan Guan rubbed his eyes and said listlessly, "Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma. Where are my brothers and sisters? Aren't they up yet? I'll go call them."
Guan Guan is still young and doesn’t live alone. When he grows up a little, we will make a bed for him in the rice ball and rice cake house. The three of them can sleep in one room and take care of each other.
Fantuan lay on the door frame and said with a beaming face: "Mom said that the early bird catches the worm. Look, we got up at dawn. You lazy pig, you're going to sleep until the sun is shining on your butt."
Guan Guan felt embarrassed by what he said and angrily retorted… "Guan Guan is not a lazy pig. I woke up early and was reading the newspaper to my mother in the room."
Nian Gao smiled and said, "Don't try to save face. Brush your teeth first. We'll have dinner soon. If you don't wash your teeth clean, you're not allowed to go to the table."
This is the rule at home, and the kids follow it very well, so the adults don’t have to worry about it.
After Lu Li finished preparing breakfast and put it on the coal stove, the family sat down.
Miao Xiuying looked outside, "How long has Xiaoyan been gone? Did she say when she'll be back? You guys eat first, I'll wait for her to come back and eat with her."
Lu Li scooped up some sweet potato porridge and placed it in front of them. He picked up the chopsticks considerately and fed Can Can first. He took the time to say, "Mom, there's no need to wait. Sister-in-law said she will eat outside. Let's eat first and clean up the kitchen. She will use the stove later."
Miao Xiuying thought about it and decided, okay, don’t wait until the guests arrive. If they don’t have lunch yet, others will start to doubt his family’s hospitality.
Miao Xiuying has always been a good person and would never tell others about her.
Especially regarding Jiang Yan, she was very thorough and was not joking when she said she wanted to worship Jiang Yan.
After a few people had eaten, everyone had a clear division of labor and did their own thing.
Several kids also put away their comic books. Song Jingtian was bored and was playing with the cat.
After Tang Yuan came, he gained a lot of weight and turned into a male cat. He was like a little clip. He loved to rub against people and act coquettishly. He would lie down when people touched him, revealing his soft belly.
I'm not going anywhere, just catching mice at home.
Song Jingtian couldn't let the cat go, so she held it in her arms and took two puffs.
Mi Li drank malted milk and said obediently, "Aunt, do you like glutinous rice balls? They can catch mice, which is amazing."
Song Jingtian pinched Tangyuan's ears, and Tangyuan meowed in a very coquettish manner.
Guan Guan poked its cute little cat face. He said softly, "Tangyuan, be good. I am Guan Guan!"
Children like cats and dogs. Jiang Yan cut Tangyuan's nails for fear that he would accidentally scratch the child and make it inconvenient for him to get an injection.
Tangyuan got several shots of vaccinations privately. If you have a cat, you have to be responsible for it.
Tangyuan meowed, as if responding to him, and Guanguan became even happier, "Good boy, good boy, I'll give you some dried fish later."
Song Jingtian brought a big bag, enough for it to eat for a long time.
She pinched the meaty paws of the glutinous rice balls and discussed with Guan Guan, "Son, let's get a dog in the future!"
Guan Guan clapped his hands happily: "Great, what kind of dog should we raise? Can we raise a big wolf dog? It will eat the bad guys in a flash!"
There are very few people who keep dogs in the city because they are afraid that they might bite people. They take responsibility and if they do keep dogs, they have to keep them locked up.
Guan Guan is still young. When he grows up, she will go to the army to get a retired military dog to accompany Guan Guan as he grows up.
Song Jingtian touched Guan Guan's head and said, "Well, I'll raise a majestic big wolfdog for you in the future."
Can Can held her hand and said, "Big wolf dogs are cool, Mom. I'll wait for you to bring the dog over."
A childhood without a dog is incomplete. Who hasn’t been chased by a dog in childhood?
Including Song Jingtian, no one escaped.
Miao Xiuying took the wild vegetables in the winnowing basket outside. The sun was good today, so after drying them for two more days, they could be harvested.
When Song Jingtian returns to the army, I can give her some gifts. The island is rich in seafood, but there are not many kinds of wild vegetables. They are not precious, but they are her little gift.
At the Shen family, Shen Nian got up late and was still putting on makeup. When she finished dressing herself up, she looked at the Plum Blossom watch on her wrist and it was almost half past ten.
She slapped her forehead and said in annoyance, "I shouldn't have stayed up late. I was too drunk."
She bought several foreign novels at the Xinhua Bookstore and read them with a flashlight at night. She went to bed at four or five o'clock. How could she get up in the morning?
My ears are still hurting after being pulled up by He Yuzhu!
She wore a white shirt inside and a black thin woolen coat outside. The cropped pants made her legs look slender and long. The leather shoes with wedge heels were bought for her by He Yuzhu at the foreign exchange store.
She applied it on her face for about half an hour, and finally it came out.
He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she said enthusiastically, "I told you, my daughter is not ugly. I usually ask you to dress up, but you insist on wearing something old-fashioned. I didn't know you, so I thought you were in your forties or fifties. Is this headband a gift from Xiaolin?"
She gathered her hair to one side, tied it into a fishbone braid, and tied a red headband. She let some hair down on both sides of her cheeks to make her face shape look more perfect.
Shen Nian is just lazy, she still has a good taste in clothes. Sheng Nian said arrogantly: "You are naturally beautiful, why do you need to dress up? Just stand there and you will be a great beauty. Who made you born beautiful? I inherited your beauty."
While praising herself, she also praised He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was overjoyed, "You are so sweet-talking. Let's go. Don't let Xiaoyan wait too long."
Mr. Shen and Grandma Shen were leaning on crutches, supported by guards beside them. The family had a public Red Flag car.
Shen Congwen, Shen Nian's father, put the gift in his hand in the trunk. Lin Sui was wearing a black Lenin suit, which made him look taller and more slender.
That face is very handsome, and the short hair makes him look more energetic.
Chen Nian didn't like those people who deliberately combed their hair back, it was ugly. After reading two sour poems, she really wanted to kick him.
She doesn't understand the gay culture and only interacts with normal people.
What Lin Sui had in his hand were prepared by his mother, including Prairie Hero biscuits, canned yellow peaches, red shrimp cakes, and imported chocolate toffee. It was obvious that she valued Jiang Yan's family.
