The next morning, before daybreak, Li Jinfeng went out, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and visited the pork stall.
It was not long after the Chinese New Year, and it was the time when there was a shortage of food. The supply of pork in the shops was even tighter than before the New Year.
In the past, one person could buy half a catty at a time, but this time they are only allowed to buy four ounces.
Li Jinfeng waited in line for a long time, bought four taels of meat, and picked out a pair of pork ribs.
After that, I went to buy two pieces of tofu and some bean sprouts.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, she found a deserted place, put a piece of pork ribs, two pig's trotters, and a big grass carp into the basket on her back.
The backpack was filled up in an instant, and the things on the back became very heavy.
Li Jinfeng was carrying it on her back, which was very tiring.
We stopped and walked along the way, and didn't get home until almost ten o'clock.
As soon as I got home, I heard Xiaobao and Tuantuan waiting at the door.
When she went out in the morning, she took a basket of buns directly from the space and put them on the coal stove to heat them up. Logically, the two children would not be hungry.
But Li Jinfeng still asked, "Have you had breakfast? Why are you waiting here?"
Xiaobao explained, "Tuantuan was clamoring to see you this morning, and I didn't know when you would be back. I was afraid he would cry, so I brought him out to wait."
Li Jinfeng patted Tuantuan's head and said, "Tuantuan, next time Mommy's not home, she must have gone out for something. Just listen to Uncle Xiaobao and I'll make you something delicious."
When he heard that there was food to eat, Tuantuan's little head nodded frantically.
"Let's go home. I'll rest for a while before going to Aunt Chen's house."
This pile of stuff really requires someone to carry.
Li Jinfeng tried hard to make her breathing look steady, not wanting Xiaobao to think she was too tired.
Finally they arrived home. Li Jinfeng rested for half a day before taking Tuantuan and Xiaobao to visit the Chen family.
Because it was the weekend, Chen Hongjun was also at home.
Aunt Chen warmly entertained Li Jinfeng.
While eating, Aunt Chen asked about Lu Jianguo.
"Still no news? Does Jianguo know that you are pregnant?"
Aunt Chen is a woman, so it is even more difficult for her to understand Li Jinfeng's hard work.
A woman may be several months pregnant, but her husband may not even know that she is pregnant.
For any woman, this may be an indescribable loss and discomfort.
Mr. Lu did not hide Lu Jianguo's work from the Chen family, so when Aunt Chen asked questions, Li Jinfeng was able to answer them easily.
"He was busy with work and left in mid-August last year. He said he wouldn't be back until after the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't written home in the past few months."
Li Jinfeng said this, but she didn't mean to complain at all.
She even worried that Lu Jianguo's life would be too difficult.
After all, they are engaged in scientific research and have a heavy responsibility on their heads.
In addition, in this era, various infrastructures are not yet developed, so everything can be said to be starting from scratch.
"Oh, you have suffered so much." Aunt Chen held Li Jinfeng's hand and sighed.
"It's not hard! I have Tuantuan by my side, the Lu family, and Xiaobao. I'm happy every day."
Although she would miss Lu Jianguo very much, most of the time, she could divert her attention.
Besides, work took away a lot of her energy.
She really doesn't have time to think about negative things every day.
"When Jianguo comes back, let him take a vacation and spend more time with you and the children. Don't wait until he comes back and even the children don't recognize him."
