Chapter 401 Summer Trip South
Nana had just given birth and was lying on the bed. Looking at Wu Jiabao who was holding the baby and coaxing him beside the bed, a faint smile appeared on her face.
When I was with Amin before, we often sat in a seafood stall, eating shrimps with our heads touching and fantasizing about the future.
As fate would have it, no matter how many sweet words were said, this relationship still ended in a breakup.
The person who had been peeling shrimps for her disappeared as soon as he let go.
As a new dad, Wu Jiabao was always a little at a loss, afraid of dropping the child, so he only dared to hold the child for a while before putting him down.
"Nana, are you hungry? I'll make you some brown sugar syrup eggs later."
Just as she nodded, Wu Jiabao rushed out.
Looking at her daughter who was curled up beside her in a new diaper, her heart softened.
She's doing pretty well now.
Outside the door, she could hear her mother-in-law's loud, cracked voice, each voice louder than the last.
She thought to herself that her aunt was right.
Life is harder for women in this world. Whether they are married or not, they have to stand on their own feet.
Her attitude is also important to how her daughter will live in the future at home.
Dealing with a man is like flying a kite. You have to loosen and tighten the string in your hand at times, and reel it in when necessary.
The more you fly away, the more your heart will be unable to return.
After having a child, the man should return to the family, and she is not prepared to stay by the stove at home all the time.
Her father said that he would get her a store in Wangfujing so that she could sell nice clothes and stay in the house without getting sunburned.
If anyone dares to cause trouble, all the brothers, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law in the family will go to that station and the trouble will be settled in no time.
Before leaving, her mother stuffed a bulging red envelope into her hand. She quietly opened it and saw a gold bar inside.
She didn't tell anyone about the money.
Her mother hugged the child and told her that if she couldn't make ends meet in the future, her family would take her back.
The Guan family can still afford to support the mother and daughter.
She only found out today that after her ex-uncle Er Yizi had an accident, her aunt was able to move house so quickly, and Donggua's job was also done with the help of her family.
It’s great that she has her family behind her.
Outside the door, Diao Yulian was talking and scolding her son for once.
"Putting so much brown sugar in the bowl, who are you trying to choke to death?"
Nana just gave birth to a baby. If she doesn’t eat well, her eldest granddaughter will have no milk to drink.
The child had no idea what was going on. He silently added three tablespoons of brown sugar, which made people feel sad.
Gao Xiulan rarely chimed in: "That's true, you can't eat anything too sweet."
When Xiaotong was pregnant with Chengzi, she asked Chen Suqin to do a lot of homework.
Wu Jiabao smiled awkwardly and took the bowl again to find a new place for the eggs.
As for this bowl of extremely sweet brown sugar water, "Dad, after washing the diapers, come back to the kitchen and drink some brown sugar water!"
"Ah, my son still loves me."
Wu Shengli squatted beside a large red plastic basin, scrubbing the diapers vigorously, his mouth grinning even wider than the morning glories blooming at the corner of the hanging flower gate.
The old man in the front yard saw it and looked at it several times through his reading glasses.
Diao Yulian rolled her eyes: "I'm afraid I'll choke you to death!"
Zhang Dazui chewed a crisp peach and asked, "Have you chosen a name for the child?"
Wu Jiabao came out from the inner room and replied, "Yes, my mother-in-law gave me the name Mingzhu."
"Mingzhu." Lin Xiaotong thought it was good.
When talking about this, Diao Yulian felt a little guilty.
Before, she was thinking that if the child was not from Old Wu’s family, she would have named him Pan Di or Zhao Di, which would have been so disgusting.
Early in the morning, Guan Lamei brought a group of young and old men from the Guan family to the house. When they opened the door, they were almost scared to death.
Wu Shengli also overheard someone inside saying that the child's surname Wu was not as nice as Guan, so he sent the child away politely with concern.
She could only agree: "Mingzhu is a very good name. My dearest granddaughter is the apple of our Wu family's eye!"
Gao Xiulan was drinking tea and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Lin Xiaotong choked and coughed a little, so she quickly patted her back to help her breathe easier.
I've never seen such a thing in my life.
I opened my mouth wide to bite the peach and almost poked my teeth inadvertently.
When Wu Shengli came back from drying the diapers, he almost tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Wu Jiabao was quick to help him.
Diao Yulian's face flushed, and she grabbed Wu Shengli and hid in the kitchen.
…
In the summer, the Xie family had some free time and went to the south, staying in a house in Dongxiao Garden for a while.
The house I bought was on the third floor. The distance between the floors was reasonable, there was plenty of sunlight, and it was acceptable to use the stairs to go up and down.
The community is full of people, mostly large families from all over the place.
A few years later, the eight jackfruit trees planted that year also produced fruit several times.
August is the season when jackfruits are ripe, and our family arrived just in time for the picking day.
With the help of a ladder, Xie Yi climbed up the tree branch in a few steps. He was more than one meter high from the ground, and the tip of his nose was filled with an exceptionally strong scent of tropical fruits.
"Mom, is this one okay?"
"Isn't the one on the left just bigger?"
The curly-haired lady standing next to Gao Xiulan under the tree with her head held high stared intently, her fingers bent into a circle, her eyes like radar.
"Okay then, Xiaotong, pass me the pole."
"Here I come."
Lin Xiaotong handed over a long pole, wearing a hat on her head, and looked up at his movements.
Orange held his breath: "Dad, slow down."
"Okay."
"Stand away, everyone. There's white glue on it, and it's really sticky."
Xie Yi seized the opportunity and poked the jackfruit hard with the pole. After several attempts, the jackfruit finally fell to the ground.
It was large in size and shaped a bit like a durian, falling onto the soft grass on the ground.
Orange ran over, inhaled the fragrance, and felt a little intoxicated.
"Hey, handsome, can you just help me take that thing off?"
Xie Yi heard the voice, ignored it, and jumped under the tree.
Xiongchuan came downstairs in his flowery shorts and slippers.
"Xie Dayi, sure, even if you call me handsome, you won't help."
"Pretty girl, look at how you're dressed, you look like a butterfly. Can you fly up to the tree and pick two for me?"
Xie Yi rolled his eyes at him. This guy only knew how to take advantage of what was already served.
She is quite old, but she dresses more fancy than Chi Yao.
Yesterday, Xiong Chuan took Chengzi and Chuyi out. The two children walked fast, while Xiong Chuan walked slowly behind them.
The two sisters were afraid that their parents would get lost, but when they were standing on the second floor, they saw the most beautiful "little flower man" in the crowd.
Lin Xiaotong squatted down and pinched the outer shell with her hands.
"Mom, we need to let it sit for two days before eating."
Gao Xiulan fanned the air with her hands and said, "Okay, these fruits look quite large, and the whole family won't be able to eat them for a few meals."
Xie Da Jiao came back wearing sunglasses and carrying seafood.
"Go home for dinner."
"Here I come~"
Xiong Chuan exclaimed, "Uncle, you are such a warrior! You even dare to drink SARS!"
Gao Xiulan's face changed: "Old Xie, you vomited after drinking it yesterday, why are you still buying it?"
Xie Da Jiao waved her hands repeatedly: "It wasn't me, the old man downstairs asked me to bring it."
He can't get used to drinking this stuff either.
Orange muttered, "They're both black, so why does Coke taste so good?"
A few people went up the stairs chatting and laughing. Xie Yi carried the bamboo pole and walked at the back with Lin Xiaotong.
"Don't touch my face, your hands are covered in glue, Xie Yi, you're dead!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, wife, don't let me sleep on the sofa alone."
"Keep your voice down! It's not nice for the kids to hear you. Since we're going out to play tomorrow, I'll forgive you this time."
"Thank you, wife."
“I don’t know if it’s fun there yet.”
"I heard from Xiongchuan that there are many interesting places there. I brought a camera with me. I will take pictures for you when the time comes. I am very good at it."
"I don't want to be photographed as 1.5 meters tall when I'm 1.7 meters tall."
"I'll squat down and take the photo tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll be 5'7" (1.7m) smaller than 2'1" (2.1m)!"
"Are you trying to say I have half a leg buried in the ground?"
"It's unfair. I really didn't mean that."
