A few days ago, I was making a pot of fish and mutton, but it tasted really good, so delicious that it made you drop your eyebrows.
Xu Manman took another mouthful of the juicy frozen tofu and said, "It's winter, so I need to eat something good to stay fat."
The family spent nearly an hour eating dinner. After the meal, they were not in a hurry to leave, but sat on the kang and chatted.
"By the way, uncle and his family are spending the New Year here, right? Have you prepared all the New Year's goods? Do we need to clean up the house over there in advance?"
Xu Gang took a sip of the hawthorn and red date tea and said, "Well, everything is ready. Zichu has taken a lot these days. It's enough."
After seeing his parents off, Xu Jianguo was too lazy to go back, so he just stayed at his sister's house. The west wing was the room reserved for him.
There were only the couple left in the main room, but Xu Manman still didn't want to go back to the space. Snuggling on the warm kang in winter was more comfortable than lying in a constant temperature room.
However, Jin Zichu did not agree. He thought that it would be his own benefit to spend a few more nights in the space. Before his wife fell asleep, he dug her up from the kang.
As soon as they made eye contact, Xu Manman knew what it wanted to do and patted its shoulder gently, "Can't you just leave me alone?"
She didn't like going out recently. The cold weather was one reason, but the Tongzi in front of her must bear the main responsibility.
Xiao Jin lowered his head and kissed the host on the lips, "I'll listen to you all today."
Xu Manman rolled her eyes and said, "I hope you will do what you say." At that time, who would listen to her?
When people from Hai City arrive in the capital, they naturally have to adapt to local customs.
On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, everyone gathered in the Xu family yard to make dumplings, cut window flowers, and offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God. They were busy all day long.
On New Year's Eve, everyone in the house had a reunion dinner at noon, and then my uncle and aunt went directly to the Y TV studio to watch the Spring Festival Gala. A group of people who stayed at home watched the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings in front of the TV.
Xu Manman looked at the audience that flashed by, "Hey, that's my uncle and aunt, Mom, did you see that?"
"I see, I see. Now they can be considered to be on TV."
Xu Jianguo said enviously, "It must be more fun to be there."
Xu Manman handed over the dumpling wrappers that Jin Zichu had rolled out. "Work hard, and when you become a real scientist, you'll have the opportunity to perform at the Spring Festival Gala."
Please hold on to this wish, and she will become the boss's sister in the future.
The second Spring Festival Gala had interesting programs and featured pop singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Everyone was watching it with great interest, and even when "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, they still felt a little reluctant to leave.
As soon as the new year is over, this winter vacation seems to be gone in a flash.
Zhang Wenjun's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Since her mother-in-law was not around, Chen Meiyu took on the role of mother and went to check on her every day. Zhang Wenjun's mother was also worried about her.
In March, my aunt also rushed over from Hai City with a bunch of things, and lived with Zhang's mother at Chen Ming's place, watching over him day and night.
Xu Manman couldn't help here, but Jin Zichu had prepared some chickens, ducks and fish in advance to nourish the pregnant woman.
The actual attack happened at night. Chen Ming came and knocked on the door, and Jin Zichu immediately drove to take the woman to the hospital.
The birth of the first child was a bit difficult. A group of people were anxiously waiting outside the delivery room. The expectant father Chen Ming was so anxious that he kept turning around and around and couldn't stop at all.
The fat boy was not born until the next morning. Fortunately, both mother and child were safe. Chen Ming felt heartbroken when he saw his wife being pushed out of the delivery room in a slightly disheveled state.
Fortunately, family planning can only save one child. If it happens again, he probably won’t be able to bear it.
The hospital has limited beds, so not too many people can stay in the ward. My aunt and Zhang's mother take care of the mother and the baby respectively. Chen Ming also took paternity leave in the hospital.
A week later, I was discharged from the hospital and went home.
Xu Manman would visit on the days when she was not in class, and watched the child grow fatter and fatter day by day. Zhang Wenjun had rested and nourished well during the confinement period, so when she was out of the confinement period, although she was still a little plump, she looked full of energy.
In the first half of the year, apart from the birth of a new little fat baby, there was no other major event.
After all, she studies international finance, so Xu Manman also pays attention to the developments in the Hong Kong market. She had not heard any news about the companies that originally planned to go public in the spring of this year until Xu Manman went on summer vacation.
Xu Manman didn't delve into this matter and just let it go.
During the two-month summer vacation, she and Jin Zichu returned to Hai City. Xu Jianguo also wanted to go with them, but although school affairs had been suspended, he still had to report to the research institute every day.
