Sister-in-law, do you want to go and have a look tomorrow? There's nothing to do at home anyway, and you can't stay at home all the time."
Jiang Mengxue has been making clothes at home or lying on the kang to rest recently.
I usually get tired easily. Even though I haven’t done anything, I just can’t muster the energy and want to sleep all the time.
But it’s not good to stay at home all the time. It’s good to go out and see new things. Only when you are in a good mood can you be in good health.
"Okay, then we'll go together tomorrow. By the way, you don't have work tomorrow?"
"It's okay. I went to work in the morning and came back at noon. I'll come to see you in the afternoon."
After the two of them made an agreement, Han Siyue went home.
Jiang Mengxue went back to the house and told Li Cuiying about this. Li Cuiying has been busy preparing clothes for the baby recently.
Although the clothes that Mobao wore when he was a child can be worn by the younger one, he is still worried that they are not enough.
Children change clothes and diapers frequently, so if you don’t prepare more, what if they have nothing to wear?
The due date is in April or May next year. The weather will be neither too cold nor too hot at that time, which is just right for wearing long sleeves and also suitable for confinement.
"I've prepared a lot of these. After the full moon, when the weather gets hot, I'll just wear a bellyband. When I go out, I'll change into a onesie. But I probably won't go out much. The child is still young, and the weather here is bad, so it's better for me to stay at home."
The styles of the small clothes made by Li Cuiying are all based on the ones that Jiang Mengxue used to wear for Mobao. The one-piece clothes will not squeeze the baby's belly and are also convenient for changing diapers.
“I also cut up fabrics that are not soft and absorbent and turned them all into diapers. I take them out to wash and dry when I have time.
Mobao is only used at night now. If he wants to urinate or defecate during the day, he will tell me in advance. In two years, he will be able to get up and go to the toilet by himself at night.
But to prevent him from wetting the kang, I'll just use it for the next two years."
On the other side, there were several thick stacks of cut fabrics. There were really a lot of them, definitely hundreds of them.
These should be usable. After washing, just hang them on the stove to dry, and it won’t delay their use.
"Second Mother, you can do these things slowly. There are still several months to go, so there's no rush.
Siyue just came over and said that the comrades from the art troupe are here and there will be a performance tomorrow. Let's go and see it together. I've been staying at home and haven't even left the house lately. I'm bored."
Li Cuiying was about to say that she would not go, but then she thought that if Jiang Mengxue took the calligraphy with her, she would not feel at ease. Wouldn't she be worried at home too? So it would be embarrassing to go with her.
"Okay, Mobao has been wronged these past two days. We won't go out at night, so let your second uncle take him out for a walk. Don't Dahei and the others go to herd sheep every day? Mobao can go and play with them too."
Mo Bao was squatting on the ground playing with his wooden toys.
These toys were made for him by a soldier who was skilled in carpentry. They included a small wooden horse and a small pistol, which were very realistic. Mobao liked them very much and even had to hold them while sleeping.
Jiang Mengxue moved the tables and chairs in the living room, laid a slightly larger carpet on the floor, and let him play on it during the day.
If you put him on the kang and no one is watching, you might worry that he will fall. No matter how smart he is, he is still a child, and if he falls from the kang, it will be serious.
The carpet was sent by Luan Huiying a while ago. It was a carpet she exchanged with someone on the grassland. It is very sturdy and durable, and easy to brush.
However, there is little rain here and using water is not convenient. When you want to wash, you can only take it outside and hang it on the clothesline and hit it hard with a piece of wood to beat out all the sand and dust inside.
But doing this is just psychological comfort, the dust is not so easy to brush clean.
"I used to think that you could come with the army and live with your family, so that Mobao wouldn't have to be away from his father since he was a child.
But now that I'm really here to join the army, it's not necessarily that good. The climate is very different from where we are, and it's really hard to get used to it.
If you don’t pay attention, your face will be red from the plateau, and it will feel like a knife when you shave it.”
This is also the reason why Li Cuiying doesn’t like to go out. She didn’t like using things like facial cream before.
I always feel that those are things used by young people. Why would she use things used by young people at her age?
But since she came to the Northwest, she has never run out of snow cream. The supply and marketing cooperative only has a few bottles every month, and she has to buy half every time she goes.
Not only that, but when going out, I have to wrap myself up tightly for fear of being blown by the wind.
I also understand why when she first saw Jiang Mengxue's strange outfit, she thought it wouldn't be that serious, but it turned out that she was naive.
Jiang Mengxue also knew that the two of them were old and had lived in the Northeast for decades. They would definitely not be used to suddenly changing to a completely different environment.
She also took out a lot of skin care creams from the space, and everyone in the family, from the old to the young, used them. Even Gu Zhenjiang started to apply the cream on his face.
Otherwise, every time Mobao reached out to touch his face, he would say it was prickly. He was afraid that Mobao would not let him hug him in the future, so he started to pay attention.
Li Cuiying got up to knead the dough, and Jiang Mengxue chopped some meat filling to make wontons for dinner.
Jiang Mengxue wanted to eat wontons in fresh soup, but Li Cuiying and the others liked sour soup, so we made two flavors of soup in the evening.
Mo Bao tasted a bite here and a bite there, and it seemed that there was nothing he didn't like.
Gu Qingbei came back when they were halfway through their meal.
He has been so busy these past two days that he hasn't been home much. If it weren't for the special nature of his job, which is in the army, Jiang Mengxue would have suspected what he was doing outside.
"Have you had dinner yet? Which flavor would you like, fresh or sour wonton soup?"
Jiang Mengxue had just finished her meal and stood up to cook another bowl for him.
"I'll make it myself, fresh soup."
How could Gu Qingbei let his wife cook for him when she was pregnant? So he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
"I've been quite busy recently and may not have time to come back for ten days or half a month. This time I'm going to another military region to select good seedlings.
People from the art troupe are here today. They won’t leave before the New Year. If you want to see them, you can go. There are no restrictions on family members.
But this art troupe is the one that Yang Chuyue is in.
If she comes looking for you, don't pay attention to her, she is not a good person."
After all, the other party was a lesbian, so she couldn't say anything too harsh. However, he didn't have a good impression of Yang Chuyue, and he was also worried that his wife would suffer.
"General Qi's wife is Ning Dehua. Her father is Ning Guofeng. She is the eldest daughter of Ning Guofeng's third wife. However, she was raised by his fourth wife, Yang Caijuan, who is also Yang Chuyue's aunt.
Moreover, Yang Chuyue's elder brother married Ning Dehua's sister from the same mother.
Therefore, their relationship is more complicated, and the relationship between the in-laws is inseparable.
You don't need to have much contact with General Qi's wife. If she makes things difficult for you, you don't have to give in to her. The Gu family is not afraid of the Ning family."
