Xu Jiajia looked carefully and saw that it was her grandma. She came to her senses and said with a smile, "Grandma, when did you arrive?"
Grandma He gently stroked Xu Jiajia's face with her skinny and rough hands. Her eyes were red as fragments of memories came to her mind one by one. After a long while, she choked up and said, "Your eyes and nose are exactly the same as your mother's. Your mother must be very happy to know that you are doing so well in the afterlife."
Xu Jiajia held Grandma He's hand and said, "I hope we all live well."
Grandma He praised this statement very much. She nodded and said, "Yes, we all have to live well."
Xu Jiajia wants to get out of bed.
Grandma He was afraid that she might bump into something, so she immediately went to help her.
Xu Jiajia smiled and refused: "Grandma, you are so nervous. If I had known so much before, I would not have gone to work.
This time, apart from sleeping more and vomiting a little, everything else is fine.”
When Grandma He heard her say that, she went to work and her pupils shrank in fear: "You are too timid. What if someone hits you?"
Xu Jiajia blinked her eyes and said, "At that time I thought there was only one. Three months later, I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out there were four."
Grandma He: “…”
When the two children saw Xu Jiajia coming out, they wanted to hug her legs, but when they thought of the younger brothers and sisters in her belly, they held back.
Little Chenchen stumbled over to get an apple for Xu Jiajia: "Mommy, eat some fruit."
Xu Jiajia took the apple, rubbed the little guy's head with her other hand, and smiled softly: "Thank you, Xiao Chenchen."
Little Chenchen smiled shyly and said in a baby voice: "Thank you."
Little Xingxing also ran to pour hot water for Xu Jiajia, not wanting to be outdone.
Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that the hot water would burn him, so she ran over and held down Little Star's hands, saying, "Little Star, this is boiling water, you can't touch it, kid."
Xu Jiajia also walked over to educate Xiao Xingxing: "Xiao Xingxing, Mommy knows that you really want to do something for Mommy, and Mommy is very touched, but you are still young now, and you can't touch many dangerous things, such as boiling water, and knives... You can't touch these.
When you grow up a little bit and have more strength, you can help mom pour hot water."
Xu Jiajia said a lot at once, and the little guy seemed to understand: "Little Star, touch the boiling water."
Xu Jiajia raised her thumb and praised with a smile: "Little Xingxing, you are so sensible!"
The little guy covered his mouth and giggled, and his laughter like silver bells echoed in the air.
Several people also laughed.
The uncles of the He family couldn't help but sigh that the children in the countryside were really incomparable to those raised in the city.
Shen Yuebai arrived home at five in the afternoon.
Seeing him carrying a lot of things back again, Mrs. Xu smiled and asked, "Did you go to the grocery store again?"
Shen Yuebai greeted Grandma He and the others before answering Grandma Xu's question: "Yes, this was sent by Leader Jia Jia. The leader said quadruplets are too rare, and as leaders, they also want to express their gratitude."
Old Mrs. Xu opened the nylon bag. Inside were apples, oranges, two cans of milk, and two bags of brown sugar, estimated to be about two kilograms.
"It's a bit late."
Shen Yuebai has been in the army for many years, but this is the first time he has met a leader who cares so much about his subordinates. He smiled and said, "Leader Jia Jia said that the four children in her belly are the flowers of the motherland and should eat more nutritious food. Of course, I am worried that Jia Jia's nutrition will not be enough. The children are too young and difficult to take care of."
Little Star was a talkative person. He clenched his fist and shook it in the air, saying softly, "Little Star is also a flower, a beautiful flower."
He wanted to say that Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is also a flower, but he transliterated the word "朵" as 놊.
"Xiao Chenchen and Xiao Xingxing are both flowers of the motherland." Xu Jiajia smiled tenderly. The sunlight shining on her seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, shining brightly.
When Xu Jianguo came back from get off work and saw Grandma He and the others coming, he immediately gave his three uncles a bear hug and said, "I'll take some time off tomorrow to show you around."
Uncle He was jealous of the overalls Xu Jianguo was wearing: "How much is this set?"
Xu Jianguo said, "This salary is given by the factory."
At this point, he thought of what his father had told him, and said with a smile: "An old man in the factory wants to sell his job. Which of you three wants it?"
The three uncles of the He family were delighted that there was such a good thing going on, but then they remembered that they had no money, and their eyes became dim again.
Uncle He sighed and said, "Who wants such a good job? It's just that there's no money."
Xu Jianguo patted his chest and said gruffly, "I have some money. I'll lend it to you first. There's only one job and there are three of you, so it's easier to divide it up."
The three uncles of the He family's eyes, which had been gloomy, lit up again, and then they discussed it.
The two younger ones thought that this job should be given to Uncle He.
So he went back to his hometown and faced his sarcastic sister-in-law all the time.
Uncle He was so embarrassed to ask: "That's fine, I already have a job, and I'll give this to you. It's fair to you."
Uncle He San was very self-aware: "Brother, you know my character. If I really take this job, I don't know how much trouble I will cause in the factory!"
Uncle He also said, "If the youngest child in the family knew that you were going to go back, he would definitely make a scene. He might even run away from home and start gambling."
Uncle He also has a ten-year-old girl in his family.
That girl likes to pester Uncle He the most.
I will follow you this time too.
Uncle He tried his best to persuade the girl, and she let him go.
Uncle He was silent for a few seconds: "Then stay."
Mrs. Xu found it strange: "You are a veteran employee, why would that person be willing to sell the job to you?"
Xu Jianguo smiled proudly: "When Jia Jia wrote a letter to her mother-in-law, she asked the old people in the factory if anyone was selling their jobs.
Nowadays, jobs are so scarce, so where are the extra jobs?
But the brother-in-law is lucky.
Yesterday an old employee broke his leg and couldn't work.
His family members are all employees and they need this job.
So I thought about selling my job.
This job has been targeted by many people.
But the old employee was willing to sell it to 놖.
It was because when 놖 first joined the factory, 놖 told people that 놖's daughter was a military officer, 놖's son-in-law was also a military officer, and 놖 lived in a courtyard house.
He thinks he has a strong background and it's better to sell it."
The corner of Old Lady Xu's mouth twitched. This was fine. However, although this matter was done very well, she still had to be punished: "Xu used Jia Jia and Xiao Shen's names to show off his power outside."
The smug look on Xu Jianguo's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked very sad: "Mom, do you believe this?
Jia Jia is your only daughter-in-law, and Xiao Shen is your only son-in-law. You only hope for the best for them, that's why you would use their names to do bad things!
I told the people in the factory that because I was proud!
Xu Jianguo's daughter is worth ten sons of other people.
How proud!
This is something worth publicizing, and it cannot be hidden.”
