Xu Xiangjuan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, teasing Niu Niu with her hands from time to time.
When Niu Niu was a little older, she made a small toy out of wool for Niu Niu to hold on to, so that the little guy wouldn't feel uncomfortable without anything to hold on to.
Niu Niu tried to grab his mother's hands with his two little hands, but he couldn't do it. However, he still enjoyed it.
Xu Xiangjuan planned to let Niu Niu sleep directly after he got tired from playing, so she kept playing with Niu Niu.
At night, Guagua came back to the inner room first, called out "Mom", then climbed onto the bed and counted seven cents.
"Where's Dad?" Xu Xiangjuan has gotten used to her daughter counting seven cents before going to bed every night.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Zhou Chengning just felt that the wind outside was strong, so he pulled the tricycle to a corner and asked Guagua to go back to the inner room first. However, Guagua was small and walked slowly, so as soon as Guagua entered the inner room, he followed him, "Juan, I'm here."
The wind was howling hard outside, and the doors and windows of the house had to be closed, so he parked the tricycle and checked the doors and windows.
Xu Xiangjuan continued to tease Niu Niu and said to Zhou Chengning, "Go to bed early."
"Juan, is this mine?"
Xu Xiangjuan looked back and said, "Oh, this, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. It's yours. I put it in the bed for you."
All the clothes in the house are kept in the closet, and I don’t know what’s going on in my mind that I have to put clothes and scarves on the bed where he sleeps.
This time, Zhou Chengning didn't care that the child was still awake and directly hugged Xu Xiangjuan from behind.
"Juan, you are so nice. I thought you forgot to tie my scarf for me." Zhou Chengning also kissed Xu Xiangjuan.
When Gua Gua saw her father kissing her mother, she immediately got out of bed. She also wanted to hug and kiss her mother.
Xu Xiangjuan was surrounded by a big and a small person, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Guagua, don't imitate your father. Go back to your bed and sleep."
"Why can't I learn from dad?" Because dad was blocking his way, Gua Gua couldn't hug his mother from behind, so he simply jumped into his mother's arms.
"You should learn to study well from your father, but you can't learn other things from him, like being silly now. Does Guagua want to become silly?"
"No." Gua Gua shook his head. It turned out that hugging and kissing mother was stupid, and so was dad.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Don't go to bed when you are stupid. Smart children go to bed early."
Big or small, it's a worry.
Guagua was about to go back to bed and said to his father, "Dad, don't be silly, go to sleep."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Did you hear that? My daughter said you were being silly. Go to bed early. I'll put away your sweaters and scarves first."
Zhou Chengning: "It wasn't Guagua who said that, it was Juan who said that I was stupid."
"Yes, I said you were stupid. Why don't you go to bed? I'll go get your sweater and scarf." Xu Xiangjuan said as she tried to break free from Zhou Chengning's arms to get her sweater and scarf.
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, don't take it away... Can I wear this sweater tomorrow?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "You can wear it. It's made for you. Don't forget to put on the lining. You can't wear it directly."
She used black wool for the children's father's sweater, which was relatively hard. She gave the soft and comfortable ones to Gua Gua and Niu Niu. But even though they were soft and comfortable, they could only be worn with socks at most. One had to wear a cotton coat and trousers underneath the sweater.
"Let me try it first." Zhou Chengning put the sweater on directly. The size was right. He put on the sweater and the gray scarf as well.
Xu Xiangjuan did not discourage her man's enthusiasm for changing clothes, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "You are in good spirits now. Don't wear the scarf tomorrow. It's not that cold now. Wear it when it gets colder."
After all, she has some experience and aesthetic sense. Colorful colors can only be used on children. It is better for the child’s father to use mature colors to look more energetic.
It just so happens that most people on the street now wear black, gray and blue, so it won’t stand out if you wear this.
"Dad looks good!" Gua Gua always thought that his mother was prettier than other mothers, and his father was also prettier than other fathers. When he saw his father wearing it, he praised his father out of support.
"Juan, do I look good?"
Xu Xiangjuan took a look and then hurried to take care of Niu Niu. Niu Niu was unhappy because he had been ignored. He was chewing his paws. When he saw his mother continued to look at him, he wanted to play the game of grasping hands with his mother again.
As for the question of whether her man is good-looking, Xu Xiangjuan said, "He is good-looking and energetic. Okay, take off your sweater and go to bed."
Xu Xiangjuan feels that "spirit" is the best word of compliment, better than "good looking".
Zhou Chengning couldn't stop smiling when he heard his lover's praise. He took off his sweater, folded it and placed it next to himself.
I always lie down with a smile on my face.
Gua Gua had already taken off her little jacket and sweater and crawled into the quilt, and she didn't forget to tell her father that she also had new clothes.
Xu Xiangjuan saw it all, but did not laugh at the child's father for making a fuss about a new piece of clothing. Even Gua Gua, a three-year-old child, had less reaction than he did when he got new clothes.
It’s because the child’s father hasn’t worn many new clothes.
When the family is better off, she will stop doing it herself and buy more clothes for the child’s father, so that he will never wear the same clothes twice a week.
...
Zhou Chengning: "Juan, are my clothes wrinkled?"
"Not wrinkled." Xu Xiangjuan patted her man's sweater. He wore two pieces of sweater inside so he wouldn't get cold.
She has good taste. This dress looks really stylish on her man. At 28, he looks like a 20-year-old boy.
Gua Gua was sleepy. She sat on the bed after her mother had dressed her. She didn't know why her parents were still standing by the bed talking.
The cows are awake and are kicking their short legs and waving their little hands as usual.
Xu Xiangjuan has already dressed Niu Niu, so the little guy won't get cold no matter how noisy he is.
She made arrangements for the whole family. She went to cook and asked the child's father to accompany Niu Niu. Niu Niu didn't cry at this time. As long as there was someone around to distract him, it was fine.
Gua Gua went out with his mother to wash his face, brush his teeth and have breakfast.
After his wife and daughter went out, Zhou Chengning began to talk to his son, "Niu Niu, mommy knitted a sweater for daddy. Mommy said he looks energetic. Niu Niu, do you think daddy looks energetic too?"
Niu Niu uttered twice, and Zhou Chengning thought Niu Niu was talking about spirit.
When he went to school today, his colleagues must have envied him for wearing a sweater knitted by his wife.
The main task in the morning was to accompany Niu Niu, so Zhou Chengning kept talking to Niu Niu. Niu Niu only called out occasionally, and he thought that Niu Niu was responding to him.
Zhou Chengning stopped talking to Niu Niu only when he heard the footsteps of his lover coming in.
Niu Niu didn’t understand what his father was saying at all. When he saw his mother finally coming, he waved his two little arms more diligently, asking his mother to hold him.
Xu Xiangjuan came over, firstly to call the child's father to eat, and secondly to pick up Niu Niu. She picked up the warm little Niu Niu and walked to the kitchen. She had also prepared milk powder for Niu Niu.
After having a nice breakfast, Zhou Chengning rode his tricycle to work.
Xu Xiangjuan watched Zhou Chengning leave this morning. Looking at her man riding the tricycle, she suddenly felt that waiting for the day off to buy a bicycle was a torture.
Fortunately, fortunately my man is strong inside.
...
Zhou Chengning, who is strong inside, was praised by many teachers for looking good and energetic because of his sweater today.
Many teachers also asked Teacher Zhou where he bought the sweater.
The teachers heard very consistent answers. Teacher Zhou said that the sweater was knitted for him by his wife.
Just a simple sentence and a shy smile.
If the teachers didn't know that Teacher Zhou already had two children, they would have thought that Teacher Zhou was some young man whose girlfriend gave him a sweater.
The young man wore the sweater knitted by his wife, and he looked shy and embarrassed.
Teacher Zhou is shy in front of other teachers, but when he is with three teachers with whom he has a good relationship, he is no longer shy.
The three teachers only heard Teacher Zhou say, "My wife also knitted me a scarf and woolen shoes, but the weather is not particularly cold now, so I didn't wear them out. They are better than the ones I bought and more comfortable to wear."
The three teachers want to say, we have never seen Teacher Zhou wear new clothes, so how do you know that the ones you buy are not as good as the ones your wife made?
I have been changing the same few items over the years, just to express how much love I have for my lover.
Now Teacher Zhou’s wife has been portrayed by Teacher Zhou as a well-educated, considerate, and skillful person. I really... don’t know what to say.
Teacher Zhou has been wearing different clothes over the years, and everyone knows how many clothes he has. It's really amazing to see him put on new clothes, and they are not very common styles.
It was as if he had become a different person. Teacher Zhou had good qualities. In ancient times, he could be described as having a handsome appearance. But now he was covered in gray. It was not that he was dirty, but that his clothes were simple. The dark gray clothes had turned gray after wearing for many years.
Even though she was wearing black today, it still looked like Teacher Zhou was glowing.
Teacher Zhou continued, glowing, "Actually, I wanted my wife to make me a scarf. After a few days of silence, I thought she had forgotten about it, so I didn't mention it. Unexpectedly, she actually prepared a sweater for me."
Teacher Liu: "Teacher Zhou, your lover is really romantic. He specially prepared a gift for you."
"Romantic? Yes, my wife is very romantic." Zhou Chengning also reflected on the word romantic and felt that it was very appropriate.
Xu Xiangjuan originally just thought that she didn't let Zhou Chengning know in advance so that he would be happier when the clothes and shoes arrived, but she didn't expect to be labeled as romantic.
If you know, you will think, what does this have to do with romance? It has nothing to do with it, okay?
...
After winter arrived, everyone changed into thick cotton-padded jackets and trousers. Xu Xiangjuan was no exception and helped her family members change into those too.
Niu Niu was not wrapped in a quilt, but had his own little cotton-padded jacket. However, after putting on the jacket, the little ball became rounder and his movements became more clumsy. It was difficult for him to wave his hands and kick his legs. Since the weather was cold, the little Niu Niu was unwilling to move much. He either lay down by himself or was held by his mother.
The weather was cold, and Xu Xiangjuan didn't have much work to do. She only knitted occasionally. She rarely went to her parents' house because it was too cold and she was too lazy to go out.
The children's father will have his holiday in three days, during which time he can spend the winter with them.
Last night I cooked rice dumplings at home, including red bean dumplings, candied date dumplings, and ham dumplings.
Since she didn't want to get up early in the morning, Xu Xiangjuan asked the child's father to get up by himself to cook rice dumplings.
Guagua and his mother stayed in bed together, so Zhou Chengning got up by himself, cooked a few rice dumplings, ate three of them himself, and kept the rice dumplings for his wife and daughter warm in the pot.
She still had to go out to deliver the rice dumplings today, so Xu Xiangjuan stayed there until Niu Niu woke up.
Niu Niu woke up at about nine in the morning. After Xu Xiangjuan took care of the two children and dressed them, she went to the kitchen. The rice dumplings in the pot were still warm.
To be honest, she doesn't like eating rice dumplings, especially sweet ones. But according to Guagua's description, Miaomiao told her that the rice dumplings were delicious and she wanted to eat them too, so Xu Xiangjuan satisfied the child and made some rice dumplings.
There are both sweet and salty rice dumplings. In the morning, she had a ham rice dumpling and a bowl of porridge. Guagua prefers candied date rice dumplings. She ate one of them and even picked out the candied dates to eat separately.
Xu Xiangjuan felt a toothache when she thought of candied dates. Fortunately, Guagua loved to eat them and acted as if he had no regrets in his life.
After breakfast, Xu Xiangjuan still held Niu Niu in her arms, while Gua Gua carried two strings of rice dumplings and set off for her grandparents' house.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting, in addition to buying the rice dumplings leaves herself and providing the red beans and ham herself, the glutinous rice and candied dates are all taken from her parents' house, and they must be sent to her parents' house after they are ready.
Although the rice dumplings were a bit heavy, Gua Gua thought it was a good opportunity to show off, so he worked very hard to lift them without complaining of being tired.
But before she reached her parents' house, Xu Xiangjuan saw someone.
Someone who is a little distant in memory, but I have heard of recently.
Wang Qiang's daughter-in-law.
Guagua didn’t know Wang Qiang’s wife, and he kept walking while carrying the rice dumplings.
Although they were from the same village, Xu Xiangjuan was not familiar with her and they had never spoken to each other. Naturally, there was no need for her to stay, so she and Guagua continued walking without even looking at each other.
