Chapter 131: Full Moon
Chen Jintao felt very comfortable during the confinement period. She felt that the fundamental reason why so many people suffered from postpartum depression was probably because they had to worry about many problems during the confinement period.
For example: I still need to take care of the children, the food is not to my liking, my husband cannot empathize, my mother-in-law is making trouble...
But these problems did not exist for Shen Jintao, so on the day she left the confinement period, many people noticed that Shen Jintao, who had not been seen for a month, looked better than when she was pregnant. How could she look like a woman who had given birth? Her whole body is as pink and tender as a peach, just like a little girl.
The full moon banquet for the twins must be held, and now it is the second half of 1976, the policy has been completely relaxed, so as long as it is not too exaggerated, there is no problem in holding a good banquet.
Therefore, this time Huo Beichuan invited all the comrades he got along well with. Many people from his hometown would also come, and there would probably be five or six tables. After all, Chen Jintao also had many military wives as friends.
After the confinement period, the two children were taken out to play. They finally got to see Chen Jintao's twins, a boy and a girl. After a month, the two children had grown up completely and were so adorable. In addition, the two children were not picky about food and would eat heartily no matter it was formula or breast milk.
I have gained a lot of weight in this month. My facial features are already very delicate, and if I become whiter and fatter, won’t I look like a lucky doll?
Huo Beichuan has now become the most envied man in the entire military region.
He has his own abilities, a beautiful daughter-in-law, who can make money and appear in the newspapers, and even has twins, a boy and a girl.
"No! I'm really jealous. After your full-moon banquet is over, I'm going to get the marriage certificate with my Hongying!" Gao Wu's eyes turned red with envy. He was not much younger than Huo Beichuan. He didn't feel lonely before because they were all alone, but now he really felt anxious.
He had to postpone his marriage with Xiao Hongying due to a temporary assignment, and he was injured when he came back. In addition, Chen Jintao was in confinement after childbirth. Xiao Hongying insisted on waiting until Chen Jintao was out of confinement before she was willing to marry him. Gao Wu could not wait any longer.
Huo Beichuan was now refreshed and patted Gao Wu on the shoulder, "Come on!"
While Shen Jintao was in confinement after giving birth, the candidate for deputy battalion commander had been decided, and it was not Gao Wu.
Although Gao Wu is also very good, and in terms of military achievements, he is slightly better than Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan's military service is indeed longer, and his performance is not mediocre, so he can be considered relatively outstanding.
In this case, if Gu Yuan doesn't get this opportunity, he might have to go home after a few years, and Gao Wu obviously has more opportunities. After comprehensive consideration, Gu Yuan is the one who gets promoted this time.
However, Gao Wu did not lose heart. He also understood the truth. The most urgent thing was to quickly bring his wife home.
People from my hometown arrived as promised, and there were many people coming this time.
All three uncles and aunts from the Xu family came, but the younger cousins did not come. After all, the train tickets were not cheap, and if everyone came, it would be a huge expense for them.
Shen Jianmin was definitely coming, and his uncle Shen Jidong was also coming. All the members of the Huo family were dispatched, and Huo Nanxi, who was working, also asked for leave.
Chen Jintao was really happy to see them, but the two little ones had endured too much at an age when they knew nothing.
Red envelopes were stuffed into the swaddling clothes one after another, and Shen Jintao couldn't help but feel envious. When she was a child, everyone was poor, and she didn't have such treatment. Even though her parents were very good to her, she didn't have much pocket money.
These two little ones had so much just after they were born.
No one would not love the twins, a boy and a girl. The two little ones have become everyone's favorite.
The three aunts of the Xu family also took out the clothes, hats, shoes and socks they had sewn for the children these days...
Chen Jintao couldn't help but sigh at how much everyone valued the two little ones. Of course, as their biological mother, she was still very happy.
Although baby clothes these days are not as good-looking and there are not as many styles as in previous years, they are really practical. Aunts use the softest materials, so children will definitely be very comfortable wearing them.
The full moon banquet was held in the army cafeteria, but it was Chen Jintao herself who did the work. Naturally, there were many people doing odd jobs as well. Chen Jintao didn't feel tired at all, but rather felt quite refreshed.
I haven't been active for a long time. After cooking a meal, I feel like my muscles and bones are unblocked and relaxed. It's really comfortable.
With the help of Huo Nanxi, the chef of the state-owned restaurant, this meal can be said to be very sumptuous.
Seafood, chicken, duck, fish, meat...
It has been a long time since anyone held a banquet like this, but many people were discussing it.
But it is impossible for Chen Jintao and Huo Beichuan to invite everyone. There are five tables already. If it is exaggerated a little, even if there will not be any big problems, it is inevitable that people will criticize them.
After the full moon banquet, everyone who needed to return to their hometown went back. Since there was an old man at home, Shen Jianmin and Xu Xuemei could do nothing even though they were reluctant to part with their beloved grandson.
Shen Jidong and his family were also reluctant to part with their little nephews, but those who had to go to school had to go to school, and those who had to go to work had to go to work.
Now Huo Dongsheng plans to go out and find a job. If he can't find one, he will continue to work in the fields to earn work points. He is a little older than Huo Nanxi, and seeing that his sister is earning a high salary, he is naturally tempted.
However, Shen Jintao knew that the college entrance examination would be announced to be resumed soon, and Huo Dongsheng's grades were not bad, so she still gave him some advice.
Huo Dongsheng never thought about going to college after graduating from high school. He had been working in the fields for a while and was a little confused for a while.
Chen Jintao didn't say much, she just found some textbooks and review materials for him and told him to read them in his free time. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and if he doesn't review, he will forget the knowledge sooner or later.
She herself didn't want to go to college. She was already married and had children. She also knew the development trends in the future, so there was no need for her to cling to a diploma.
The quality of universities after the resumption of the college entrance examination is indeed very high. As long as you can get in, even if it is an ordinary university, you will be assigned a job after graduation. But that is working for others. You were a boss's wife in your previous life, so there is no reason for you to be a slave in this life.
But Huo Dongsheng is different. Shen Jintao can see that Huo Dongsheng is not a man with a good business sense, so going to college is a good choice. Even if he has other ideas in the future, it will always be in time.
Huo Beichuan was surprised that his wife knew all that. After all, Shen Jintao did not avoid him when she talked to Huo Dongsheng and Shen Jidong.
Chen Jintao also wanted to warn Huo Beichuan about some things. After all, she would definitely make big moves after the reform and opening up. If she didn't tell him in advance, Huo Beichuan would definitely have a lot of doubts.
