Shen Yuebai made a cup of brown sugar for Xu Jiajia and handed it to her: "The temperature is just right, drink it quickly."
Xu Jiajia took the enamel cup and drank until her stomach was full, then she stopped and handed it to Shen Yuebai: “Do you want to drink?”
Shen Yuebai shook his head.
Xu Jiajia put the cup to his lips: "Drink it."
Shen Yuebai still shook his head.
Xu Jiajia frowned and looked at Shen Yuebai: “Do you think I’m dirty?”
Shen Yuebai looked at Xu Jiajia unhappily: “What are you talking about.”
Xu Jiajia urged: "Then drink quickly."
Shen Yuebai had no choice but to take the cup and take a sip.
Xu Jiajia: "Drink it, I can't drink that much."
Shen Yuebai drank it obediently: "Is it okay now?"
Xu Jiajia smiled with satisfaction and kissed Chen Yuebai's face: "Well, it's okay. Don't you have to go to the army today?"
"No, I've taken three days off. You can rest well at home while I go out for a while."
When Shen Yuebai came back again, he was holding a piece of cloth in his hand.
The cloth is white with red dots on it.
Very beautiful.
Old Mrs. Xu exclaimed, "Did you go buy cloth?"
Shen Yuebai smiled lightly: “Well, this color suits Jiajia.”
Grandma Xu should be happy that her grandson-in-law is so kind to her granddaughter, but when she saw the thick cloth, she couldn't be happy at all: "This cloth is 20 to 30 feet long. Jia Jia's clothes don't need so much cloth. It's a waste."
Before buying it, Shen Yuebai thought it through: “Make a dress and a dress. If there are any left, I can make two for our baby.”
Old Mrs. Xu was speechless.
You haven’t even gotten pregnant yet, and you’re already thinking so far ahead!
It seems that he is really anxious!
"Xiao Shen, you can't be impatient or stressed about having a baby, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Shen Yuebai naturally knew this truth: "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I subconsciously think of these things when I see the cloth. Jiajia and I are in good health, and pregnancy is a matter of time."
Mrs. Xu: "These are for girls. What if it's a boy?"
The smile on Shen Yuebai's face instantly faded, and he said seriously: "I like girls, I only want girls."
The girl is soft and tender, how nice!
Old Mrs. Xu: “…”
Is this something you can control?
However, this is also good, at least there is no idea of favoring boys over girls.
Shen Yuebai put the cloth in the cabinet and turned to look at Xu Jiajia who was still sleeping. He walked over, lifted the bangs from her forehead, kissed her eyes, and lay down beside her.
After a while.
He got up again and went to chop wood.
There is honeycomb coal at home.
But Old Mrs. Xu is used to cooking with firewood.
Seeing Shen Yuebai sweating profusely from exhaustion, Old Lady Xu said, "You're already tired enough in the army. You don't need to do these. Your father is full of energy, so it's just right for him to do these."
Shen Yuebai wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and continued chopping: "Dad is tired from work, I won't go to the army today, I'll chop as much as I can."
During this time together, Old Lady Xu became more and more satisfied with Shen Yuebai. Although this kid was young, he had learned all the ways of the world: "Chop less, there is no room for the side room."
When Xu Jiajia woke up again, Old Lady Xu had already prepared the meal. She washed up and slowly came behind Shen Yuebai: "This much firewood is enough, it's time to wash your face and eat."
Shen Yuebai obediently put down the axe, went to the kitchen, brought out a basin of water, washed the sweat off his face, and wiped his neck and arms with a cloth.
Today, Grandma Xu made three dishes: stir-fried dried rabbit meat with chili peppers, stewed chicken with yam, and a vegetable.
The chickens were caught alive by Xu Jiajia when she went into the mountains last time. She caught several and couldn't eat them all, so she simply asked Xu Jianguo to make a chicken coop to raise the remaining chickens and kill them when she wanted to eat them.
That's right.
In this age of material scarcity, others have nothing to eat, but they have more than they can eat.
Old Mrs. Xu’s cooking skills are getting better and better. She could finish three dishes for three people without leaving any food.
Xu Jiajia was full. She stood at the door, rubbing her belly gently. "Grandma, your cooking skills can catch up with the chefs in state-owned restaurants."
Mrs. Xu was very happy that her cooking skills were recognized, but she felt that Xu Jiajia was exaggerating: "She gets a salary every month, and I can only cook at home. The difference is huge. We can't compare."
Xu Jiajia thought the old lady wanted to go to work: "Grandma, do you want to work too?"
Old Mrs. Xu shook her head: "No, I don't want to. If I go to work, who will make delicious food for you? And when you have children, who will help you take care of them?"
Xu Jiajia walked over and hugged Grandma Xu, saying emotionally, "Grandma, you have sacrificed so much for us. Thank you!"
Old Mrs. Xu pushed Xu Jiajia away and glanced at her: "This is not a sacrifice. Everyone has different preferences. In fact, I really like taking care of these trivial matters at home. I also like to help you take care of the children. Raising them well is also a sense of accomplishment."
