As the New Year is getting closer, Jiang Mengxue also started preparing New Year's goods.
There are also various relatives and friends who need to prepare some New Year gifts to send to them.
So she was extremely busy during this period.
Even Ruirui has been entrusted to Ji Xuewei to help take care of these days, while she goes out whenever she has time to pack various New Year's goods.
Ji Xuewei's family relationships don't require her to maintain them. She just needs to buy some things and send them back to her parents and brother.
And she has no plans to go home this year, and it seems that she has not yet reconciled with her family.
However, Jiang Mengxue did not ask too much about this. Even when they chatted, they only talked about unimportant trivial matters.
If the other person is unwilling to talk about his or her private affairs, I will not ask about them in detail.
Since no one has time to go back this year, let’s plan to celebrate the New Year together.
I've been out and about for several days and just finished buying everything I needed.
Just pack it up and send it away directly outside, so as to avoid buying so many things and being seen and questioned by people in the staff quarters when you get back.
Ruirui drew a family portrait, even though he had not yet met all the members of the family.
But he remembered who was in the family just based on the photos Jiang Mengxue showed him.
Gu Zhen, Hai Luan Huiying, Gu Zhen, Jiang Li Cuiying, Gu Qingbei, Jiang Mengxue, then there is Mo Bao, Nao Nao, Zhizhi, Nao Nao, Bao Bao, and the last one is himself.
The clothes on each person are outlined with colored pencils. Although the painting skills are not very vivid, they are still very good.
Not to mention that he had only been learning to paint for a short time, Jiang Mengxue also liked it very much when she saw it.
"Okay, okay, Ruirui's drawing is amazing. Mommy will roll it up, put it in a box, and send it back to my brothers and sisters to see, okay?"
Ruirui held Jiang Mengxue's arm with her little hands and buried her little face in it. She felt a little embarrassed and her ears turned red.
But he still hummed softly.
Speaking of the Chinese New Year, people of this era, although their lives are not rich, can even be called poor.
But people are more humane to each other, and the New Year and other festivals are even more lively.
As early as one month before the New Year, every household begins to prepare everything needed for the New Year.
Whenever I go out to buy something, it is extremely crowded.
In order to ensure that their families can eat meat on New Year's Day, many families get up before dawn and line up in front of the meat stalls.
As the New Year approaches, the daily supply of pork does increase, but there are also more people buying it, so even if you get up early and queue up, you may not be able to buy it.
Now, the black market business is starting to pick up again.
In the past, there were always people catching speculators everywhere, but at this time, the higher-ups turned a blind eye and did not do much.
Although Jiang Mengxue was not short of money, she was also worried as she saw more and more things in the space.
Fortunately, he was rational and did not sell anything produced in the space.
What she had been selling was what she had stockpiled in her previous life.
After so many transactions in the black market, there is still a lot of food and meat left in the space.
This was also because she had a hoarding habit at the time, and was afraid that if she didn't store enough things, they wouldn't be enough in the future. Besides, she had no shortage of money, so she just started hoarding.
Sometimes when he went out after dinner at night, Ruirui thought he had to work overtime at the hospital and didn't think much about it.
Jiang Mengxue didn't do anything big. She found a few small vendors who usually resold supplies on the black market, gave each of them a few pigs, and then she never went there again.
That day, Jiang Mengxue took Ruirui to make a phone call. Although they couldn't meet during the New Year, it would be nice to talk a few words over the phone.
I told my second uncle and second aunt the last time I sent a letter home that I would call them at around nine o'clock in the morning that day.
So when you call here, Li Cuiying will answer the call soon.
"Is that Xiaoxue? Are you okay? You're spending the New Year so far away from home this year, and we're not around. I asked your second uncle to send you something, so remember to receive it."
Making a phone call is much more expensive than writing a letter or sending a telegram, so Li Cuiying started talking as soon as she answered the phone, for fear of timing out.
"Got it, got it. I just went to get it last night."
Li Cuiying knew that it was not convenient for Jiang Mengxue to cook for herself outside, and she was worried that she would not eat well.
So I spent a whole day making a lot of buns and steamed buns, including buns with red bean and sweet potato fillings, which are Jiang Mengxue's favorite flavors.
Anyway, it's snowing everywhere in winter and the temperature is extremely low, so you should prepare more and it won't go bad in a short time.
"Second Grandma, I want to talk too. I want to talk to Mom too."
Nao Nao, who was waiting at the feet, couldn't wait any longer. He pricked up his ears and was extremely excited when he heard Jiang Mengxue's voice.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Each of you can say a few words."
At this time, Li Cuiying no longer cared about the money. She only thought about her children. They hadn't seen their parents for almost half a year and missed them so much.
"Mom, mom, when will you come back? Aren't we celebrating the New Year together this year? Grandma said you and Dad aren't coming back. I miss you so much."
This was also the first time Jiang Mengxue had been away from her children for such a long time.
When I heard the sound for the first time, I could hardly control my tears.
But she still adjusted her mood and said, "Mom misses you too. Mom and Dad both have work, so we can't go back to spend the New Year with you this year, but you should have fun too.
Listen to your grandparents at home. I will go back to see you when I have time."
Nao Nao was a little disappointed.
To be honest, he was quite happy when his parents left at first. After all, now that the two big mountains above him were gone, no one at home could control him.
But within a few days he realized that something was wrong. He was so sad that he secretly touched his nose under the covers at night, and was seen by his eldest brother.
Fortunately, Mo Bao at home can still control him, otherwise Jiang Mengxue would really be worried.
Although Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying can be strict at times, they don't spoil their children blindly.
But after all, they are grandparents, and no matter how cruel I am, I can't bear to discipline them.
However, Mo Bao has the demeanor of an older brother and is dignified in front of his younger siblings.
Many times when Nao Nao makes a mistake, he will only be afraid when Mo Bao steps in to help. This may be due to bloodline suppression.
At this time, Mobao silently took the microphone from Nao Nao.
"Mom, you have to take good care of yourself. I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters at home."
Jiang Mengxue was very pleased. She felt most ashamed of her calligraphy.
She became pregnant with her second child when she was still a little kid and needed her parents' care the most. Later, in addition to taking care of the younger child, she also returned to the workplace.
Even if I remind myself again and again that I cannot neglect any child, a person's time and energy are limited.
I am always worried about neglecting this or that.
I just hope that their family can reunite sooner and never have to be separated for so long again.
