It is already the beginning of winter and the weather is cold. He doesn't dare to take Gua Gua out of the bed directly. The little baby will be cold and he will be scolded by the baby's mother.
Just when he was about to call Gua Gua, Niu Niu started to whimper, and the whimpering quickly turned into loud crying. Zhou Chengning's originally light-hearted mood due to receiving his salary immediately became heavy and flustered.
Guagua, who usually falls into a deep sleep, woke up when he heard his brother crying.
"Dad, where's Mom?" Gua Gua sat up and rubbed his eyes with the back of his little hand, feeling sleepy.
"Mom is cooking dinner in the kitchen. Guagua, put on your cotton-padded clothes first, don't get cold. Dad will go find Mom."
Xu Xiangjuan had just served the celery when she vaguely heard Niu Niu's crying that could penetrate the wall. She put the celery on the table and went to see what was going on.
It's really about taking care of the child. Sometimes when the child is not around, even if he or she is not crying, she always has auditory hallucinations and feels like she hears the child crying.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I ran into Zhou Chengning walking towards me.
Zhou Chengning said in panic, "Juan, Niu Niu is crying."
"I heard it." Xu Xiangjuan walked around Zhou Chengning and went into the inner room.
Zhou Chengning immediately followed and wanted to say that he was not the one who woke Niu Niu up, but it felt like he was quibbling.
When the couple went to the inner room, Guagua had already put on a small cotton jacket. Xu Xiangjuan said, "Aning, button up Guagua's jacket."
Guagua doesn’t know how long he will stop deducting the cost.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chengning immediately buttoned up Gua Gua.
Guagua still looks like he hasn't woken up yet, and the whole little baby looks listless.
Zhou Chengning buttoned up his clothes, asked Guagua to sit on the edge of the bed, and put on his shoes. After Guagua put on his shoes and stepped on the ground, Zhou Chengning kept looking at his lover's face.
Xu Xiangjuan didn't look unusual. Niu Niu had urinated, so she quickly changed his diaper.
The family of four had dinner in the evening. Niu Niu was still holding the bottle in his hand, but the bottle was actually held by Xu Xiangjuan.
Zhou Chengning took the initiative to speak, "Juan, let me help you hold Niu Niu and feed Niu Niu dinner."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Eat your own dinner, don't worry about Niu Niu, eat it while it's hot, I bought it especially for you and cooked it for you."
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, are you not angry?"
Guagua was eating the rice that his mother had prepared for him. When he heard what his father said, he spoke up, "Why is mom angry? Is it Guagua who made mom angry?"
The key is that she didn’t feel that her mother was angry.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Why should I be angry? Guagua, it has nothing to do with you. Mom is not angry."
Zhou Chengning: "Niu Niu is crying."
Xu Xiangjuan was helpless: "Niuniu cries several times a day, what does this have to do with you?"
She knew that Aning was not that careless. She went into the inner room to call Guagua to wake up and Niu Niu might have started crying without her even saying a word.
The person involved, Niu Niu, is drinking milk at this moment, and has gone from being a person involved to being fine.
Zhou Chengning looked at his lover's face again, and only started eating after making sure that everything was fine.
The nervous mood finally dissipated after Ping An finished dinner. Xu Xiangjuan put Niu Niu on the small bed and let Niu Niu entertain himself. The father and daughter finished their meal and then washed up. She put the thirty yuan from the child's father away and left the remaining seven yuan.
I'll give the kid's father two yuan for pocket money later. He can spend it however he likes.
Originally, she didn't want him to spend his money on her. Why should he spend some money on a "rich woman" like her? Later, she thought, forget it, if she has to interfere with how he spends this little money, it would be better not to give it to her.
Zhou Chengning had nothing else to do in the evening. The tricycle had already been washed, and after finishing washing, he brought Gua Gua back to the inner room.
The father and daughter came back, and Xu Xiangjuan, who was teasing Niu Niu, began her speech for tonight.
"Guagua went out shopping with his mother this morning and went out with his grandmother in the afternoon. He behaved very well all day and didn't make his mother angry recently. I'll give him a penny."
"Thank you, Mom!" Gua Gua didn't expect to have an unexpected gain today. After taking the penny given by his mother, he immediately became a nimble ball and climbed onto the bed very nimbly.
She put her purse next to her pillow.
Seeing Guagua receive a penny, Zhou Chengning felt a little envious, but he didn't say anything and went to lie on the bed.
While Guagua was counting the seven cents, Xu Xiangjuan handed two yuan to Zhou Chengning, "This is yours, keep it safe."
The two yuan was still in paper currency. Zhou Chengning immediately stopped envying Gua Gua and took the two yuan and put it in his wallet.
Zhou Chengning kept the wallet under the quilt on the bed, and he never thought he would actually use it to hold money.
Gua Gua’s previous experience of saving money made him think a lot, and he felt that if he had money, he should save it too.
Even if it was not Guagua's one cent but two yuan, it was not enough and the things he could buy were limited. He still saved it so that he could buy nice things later.
Seeing that both the father and daughter were very happy, Xu Xiangjuan couldn't bear to make either of them unhappy, but she still had to inform them, "Aning, let's buy another bicycle."
"Juan, why do you want to buy a bicycle? Don't we have a tricycle at home?" Zhou Chengning's expression immediately changed when he heard his lover's words.
"The bicycle is for you to ride to school. The tricycle is very good and can carry people and heavy things, but it is expensive. It cost a lot of money. I think I won't ride it to school every day. Besides, think about it, everyone is riding a bicycle, and if you park your tricycle there, won't it attract attention too easily... We still have more than a thousand yuan at home, don't worry." The last sentence was about the family savings, and Xu Xiangjuan whispered it in Zhou Chengning's ear.
Zhou Chengning was so shocked that there were 1,000 in the house that he didn't react. His first thought was that Niu Niu was no longer in the middle.
"Don't be stunned. We have it at home. Do you agree?" She would buy it even if she disagreed.
Zhou Chengning came back to his senses, "I agree, there are still so many at home?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "Yes, it's all saved up over the years, so you don't have to worry about money...but I've been spending a lot recently, so a good sum is gone, but it's okay, there's money in and money out."
Her husband never carries money with him, and he has no money to put, so in all these years, no one has ever asked him to borrow money. But sometimes her husband has to borrow a few dimes or a dollar from others, and he will go home and ask her for the money and return it the next day.
Zhou Chengning: "As long as there is enough at home, that's fine."
"That's enough, don't worry." After saying that, Xu Xiangjuan put on her cotton coat and went to tease Niu Niu. It really takes some time to get Niu Niu to fall asleep, especially now that Niu Niu still looks very energetic.
After Niu Niu fell asleep, Xu Xiangjuan went to see Guagua who was already lying down. Guagua was also asleep, but he still held the purse in his arms with both hands.
Xu Xiangjuan carefully pulled out the purse. Guagua was asleep and didn't react, so she put the purse next to Guagua's pillow.
The children were all asleep. Xu Xiangjuan saw that the child's father still had his eyes open and whispered, "You should go to sleep too."
Then turn off the lights.
As soon as the lights went out, Zhou Chengning wanted to reach his hand into the quilt next to him. He thought he should be able to hold his lover's hand tonight.
After turning off the lights for a while, Xu Xiangjuan did not fall asleep immediately. She was worried that Niu Niu would wake up immediately. In fact, tonight was strictly speaking the first night that Niu Niu slept in the crib. He had tried it during the day before.
Sleeping well during the day does not mean sleeping well at night. As a mother, it is always easy to worry about your children.
After a while, Xu Xiangjuan was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, a hand reached out, fumbled around for a few times, found her hand and held it.
Xu Xiangjuan was almost sleepy, so she patted the man's hand and pushed him back into the bed next to her.
You'll be braver now that Niu Niu is not around, right?
She understood that her man was not afraid of her at all, and was more scared of the two children than her.
Zhou Chengning felt a little aggrieved, sighed, and went to bed.
Xu Xiangjuan could hear that sigh...it seemed like she was the one whose hand was touched?
Never mind, go to bed quickly. If you act up again at night, she won’t just pat you on the back.
...
Zhou Chengning's sweater and scarf were all knitted, and Xu Xiangjuan folded them together on the bed.
She made clothes and shoes for men, basically in her own room at her parents' home, without telling her husband. It seemed that she was making small clothes, shoes and socks for Guagua and Niu Niu all day long, but in fact, she made clothes for men as well.
It's already late November, and if we don't take out our woolen scarves, winter will be over.
Zhou Chengning has his day off today, so he hired two people to go to his grandfather's house to reinforce the house. Gua Gua went with them and they should be back before dinner.
The sweater and scarf were placed inside the bed and would probably only be discovered when people were about to go to bed at night. After putting them away, Xu Xiangjuan went to cook dinner without paying much attention to them.
The father and daughter did come back for dinner, and Gua Gua even said that she had eaten eggs at her great-grandfather's house.
"The eggs were given by my parents. Grandpa made them into boiled eggs and shared them with everyone. Gua Gua ate one."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Did Guagua say thank you to Grandpa?"
Guagua: "Yes, thank you, great grandfather."
Although okra eggs have no taste, they are edible, and they are delicious as long as they are edible.
Xu Xiangjuan: "I hope I can hold on longer."
Zhou Chengning: "I think so. I think they treat grandpa much better."
"Just don't pretend in front of you."
"I'm not pretending. I didn't tell anyone that I was going to my grandfather's place. Even my grandfather himself didn't know I was going there."
"You are also stupid. You reinforced the thatched house. How could the neighbors not hear the noise? However, it is only temporary. Grandpa is living a better life now than in previous years, isn't he?"
"Yes, Grandpa is living a fulfilling life now, better than in previous years. I bought him paints and inks, so he can write and draw to pass the time when he has nothing to do."
Xu Xiangjuan gave the remaining three hundred yuan from grandpa to Zhou Chengning. It was his business to do whatever he wanted, and she only had to take care of their own money.
Zhou Chengning racked his brains to think of how to spend the 300 yuan. Apart from the necessary labor and material costs for his grandfather's food, he had to plan the remaining money reasonably.
Among them, paint, ink and brushes became the things he thought were reasonable, and he asked Teacher Sun to bring them to him from the county town.
My grandfather really liked it when he saw it, but he didn’t feel comfortable trying it right away because there were two strangers around.
After the two workers left, grandpa tried to use the brush. There was a set of brushes in various specifications.
I wouldn’t have dared to use these things a few years ago, but now that life is better, I can put pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
Gua Gua also received a plum blossom painting by his grandfather and showed it to his mother immediately after taking it home.
There is no other scenery to complement the painting, just a branch of plum blossoms that was plucked, and with a few simple strokes, she creates a sense of artistic conception.
Originally, when her husband wanted to buy these papers and pens, she did not interfere and had no objection. Now that she knew that her grandfather liked them, she had even less objection.
Everyone can have some hobbies.
They talked about grandpa at dinner. After Guagua finished his meal, Xu Xiangjuan went back to the inner room to see Niu Niu.
It looks like Niu Niu should be waking up soon.
Nowadays, there is no TV at home at night, so for Xu Xiangjuan, the only fun she has now is playing with the cow.
