After the summer vacation, Shen Zixi also became a middle school student from a primary school graduate, and Shen Ziyi entered the first grade after his own insistence.
Because it was the last year of graduate school, Shen Anning became very busy and could only communicate with her son in the morning and evening every day. As Peanut grew older, he gradually became a little chatterbox, probably because he spent more time with Xixi Erbao.
At lunch, the grandparents from both families gathered together to eat. There was no other way. Everyone went to work or school, and there were only two elderly people and one child in each family. By eating together, Xiao Huasheng and Shen Erbao could communicate more.
At the dinner table, Cao Siheng listened to his brother talking about what happened at school. He was so serious that he didn't even move the spoon in his hand. "Guoguo, great!"
Chen Ziyi pinched the flesh on Peanut's face and said, "Hahaha, our Peanut is great. He can understand what his brother is saying. Oh, when will you grow up a little bit? Then your brother can take you to school."
Seeing Peanut smiling happily again, Chen Ziyi felt very sorry. Peanut was so young. By the time he finished kindergarten, he would have graduated from elementary school. The baby of his second uncle and second aunt was still in her belly. With this fate, he would never be able to lead his younger brothers to dominate the school!
After dinner, Shen Ziyi took a nap with Peanut, and then he got up to go to school. When he was at home, he used to envy his sister when she went to school every day, but now he thinks going to school is not fun at all.
Just as I put on my shoes and shouldered my schoolbag to go out, I heard the little guy calling "Guoguo, Guoguo" from behind me. "What's wrong? Why don't you sleep anymore, Peanut? You're still young. Children need more sleep, it's good for their health."
Seeing the little guy take out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket, Shen Ziyi was so moved that his heart melted, "Hey, you still love your brother. Sister doesn't have any, right? Did you only give them to your brother?"
Cao Siheng thought about it and nodded, watching his brother jump and run out the door, he touched the other two bigger chocolates in his pocket. His sister hadn't finished school yet, so he really didn't give them to her. There was nothing wrong with that, that's right!
Time passed quickly. After winter came, Wang Jingyi's belly became too big for her to continue working. She took a pile of research materials and books home to prepare for the birth of the baby. Grandpa and grandma Shen's family had more things to do, and the house became more lively. Little Peanut often touched his second aunt's big belly and chattered non-stop. He felt that he had a little friend interacting with him, and he would look at his family with great surprise every time.
Shen Anning finished her research project and sorted out all the information she had collected during this period and sealed it in a cabinet. These were the materials she would need to write her thesis during the winter vacation, but she couldn't lose them.
I looked at the time and it was just past three o'clock. It was early, so I went back home first to pick up the things I had packed in the past few days.
As soon as I entered the alley, I saw my aunt holding Peanut at the door and chatting with the neighbors, "Hey, Peanut, Mommy is back. Mommy is back early today, isn't she?"
"Mom."
"Hey, my dear son, your little belly is getting rounder today. What delicious food did grandma make for you at noon today?"
"Meat, rice."
Listening to the little guy's unclear pronunciation, she placed the fat baby in her arms into her niece's arms, "For lunch, grandma stewed a black chicken for your second sister-in-law, and Grandma Cao made her famous glutinous rice. She ate half a bowl of peanut chicken soup with rice and a whole chicken leg. Her belly is really bloated, isn't it?"
"Hehehe, the meat is delicious, Mommy, eat it."
Looking at the two large bags on the ground, Lin Junqi picked them up and said, "What are they filled with? Why are they so heavy?"
"Isn't my second sister-in-law about to give birth? These are the clothes my uncle, aunt, grandparents, and grandparents bought for me. Peanut only has two arms and two legs, how can she wear them? They're all new. I washed them."
Several neighbors nearby listened to what Shen An Ning said, their eyes full of admiration and envy. Although their family conditions were also very good, after all, they could afford to live in a separate courtyard with two or three entrances, but there were many children in the family and many wives who married into the family. Although there was affection among them, it was definitely not as good as the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Shen family.
"Okay, that's enough. An Ning, the great aunt, is back, and we're back too. Oh, every time I see your children have such a good relationship, I'm so envious."
"That's right. Each of these children in your family is capable. It's easy to marry or get married."
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "You guys, it seems like you guys don't have good children. Sister Liu, a few days ago you told me that it was getting cold and your daughter-in-law bought you a new coat. And Xiao Wang, you're two years younger than me. Your youngest son just graduated from college this year and saved up three or four months' salary to buy you a new watch and radio. You guys are all living well, and you still envy our family!"
Lin Junqi treated every child of the Shen family as her own, including Peng Wei and Peng Zhe. Her biological parents died early because of the war, and she grew up in the Shen family. She only considered herself a member of the Shen family and never thought of herself as a daughter-in-law who married into the family. Besides, she only gave birth to one child, Shen Anyan, and the subsequent children were her son's younger brothers and sisters. Parents will eventually pass away, and with the help of brothers and sisters, the whole family can move forward and the family will develop well. So in her opinion, some people just can't think straight. They treat their own sons and daughters as treasures and guard against the daughters-in-law who marry into the family, without thinking that they also married into the family.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go home. You should go home soon too. The kids at home should be home from school and get off work."
Watching the uncle and nephew enter the house, the people outside turned around and went back to their homes. There is no point in envying other people's families.
In the kitchen, two grandmothers are cooking. These days, the two old ladies suddenly have a strong desire to cook. They cook several hometown dishes for lunch every day. Especially Grandma Cao. She has been away from Zhejiang Province for so many years and has eaten Beijing cuisine for many years. Now that she is old, she misses the taste of her hometown even more.
Seeing her granddaughter-in-law carrying her great-grandson in, Grandma Cao immediately picked up the lean meatballs on the table and said, "Come on, An Ning, open your mouth and try these lean meatballs made by grandma. I know you like spicy food, so I added some chili oil."
Shen Anning took a bite and said, "Well, it's delicious. Grandma, you also added seaweed and small shrimps. The soup is also very fresh and the saltiness is just right."
Peanut, in his mother's arms, watched his mother being fed and opened his mouth consciously, "T-T-T-Ah!"
"Hahaha, oh my dear, my dear, the bowl that Mommy is eating has chili in it, you can't eat it, I'll get you a new bowl, wait a little longer."
Grandma Shen beside her also laughed when she saw Peanut like this, "Oh, these children in our family are all carved from the same mold."
"Grandma is right. This little guy's expression while waiting is the same as his older brothers and sisters. I wonder what this little guy in my second sister-in-law's belly will look like when he's born."
