After saying that, he stuffed the doll in Jiang Li's hand. The sleeping Nan Nan Si had no idea of her father's pain and spit out some fragrant milk foam.
Jiang Li held the almost five-month-old baby in her arms, feeling a little heavy. "Have you decided on a name for the baby?"
Qin Xiaoting waved her sister in her arms, full of love, "Okay, the sister's name is Liu Hening, and the brother's name is Liu Hean. In this life, I just hope that they will be happy and safe."
"He Ning, He An, what nice names."
Lunch was prepared under the supervision of two men, Qi Shaoqiang was the chef, Liu Lixin was the assistant, and they also brought Qin Xiaoting's secret braised pork.
Jiang Li even queued up in advance and bought crispy roast duck and duck slices from the state-owned hotel to eat with shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers, and sweet bean curd rolls.
The duck rack is not wasted, it is boiled into a snow-white thick soup with cabbage, and sprinkled with a little pepper. A bowl of this soup is soothing to the heart.
The steamed perch is firm and sweet, the sweet and sour pork chops are soft and boneless, sour and sweet, and the fried shrimps are spicy and tasty.
They attended classes, set up stalls, strolled around in their spare time, and made appointments with Qin Xiaoting to go out and try some delicious food. The days passed like this.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xianyun received a letter from Jiang Li at Bailutang. The postman stopped at the door of Qi's house and shouted, "A letter from Haicheng. Is Chen Xianyun there?"
Jiang Hongmei, who was mending clothes under the tree, suddenly raised her head and looked at the postman. The postman didn't understand what was going on and felt a little frightened by the stare of this haggard woman.
Chen Xianyun came out of the yard holding the dried beans, looking very happy, "Here it is!"
"Haicheng is here. Li and Shaoqiang wrote to me."
Originally, the two of them were watching the lively members talking at once, "Hurry up and ask someone to read it."
Chen Xianyun knew Chinese characters, but only a few of them. He quickly caught a boy who was reading a high-pitched poem and stuffed a handful of fried soybeans into his mouth. The boy then began to read the poem while shaking his head.
"Mom, grandma, are you both in good health? Shaoqiang and I are doing fine, and both our work and studies are going well."
Thinking of this, Chen Xianyun's anxious heart finally settled down. These two children are so far away from home, it would be a lie to say that she is not worried.
"Shao Qiang found a job? You are really capable!"
"I'm very capable, and I'm the same no matter where I go."
Qi Shaoqiang's resignation was originally kept secret, but as the days passed, the news that Qi Shaoqiang resigned and went to Haicheng with Jiang Li spread throughout the team.
Whatever you say, "You gave up such a good job and ran off to Haicheng with a woman. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."
She said, "Just wait and see. Jiang Li will abandon Shaoqiang sooner or later after she finishes college. How can a college graduate want a man without a job?"
"Two young people in their twenties left their parents at home and went to the city to enjoy themselves. I think Chen Xianyun will have a hard time in the future."
The old lady was fine with hearing these words, but Chen Xianyun got angry after hearing them. However, Lin Huaihua would come to persuade her from time to time, "This team is like this.
When your Shaoqiang joined the army and didn't come home for several years, he said all kinds of nasty things, but he still got through it.
Later, when Shaoqiang sent money back, your family built a house and rushed to curry favor with him. They are all fence-sitters. Just treat whatever they say as bullshit.
"Mom, Grandma, we have settled down in Haicheng. We will come back after the two-month holiday to pick you and Grandma up and bring them to Shanghai."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a stone into the water, and the team members chattered.
"Oh my god, Shaoqiang's family is very wealthy. Did he buy a house in Haicheng?"
"Jiang Li is a good child. She even thought of taking her mother-in-law to live with her. Shaoqiang's mother, you are so lucky."
After hearing this, Chen Xianyun's heart was as sweet as drinking honey water. The two children never forgot her wherever they went. This was enough.
Although he was happy in his heart, he still refused, "I don't know how to do anything. Going to Haicheng will only cause trouble. I won't go."
"Besides, I've lived in the countryside for half my life and I live a very comfortable life. In the city, even vegetables cost money, and I can't burden my child."
"Shaoqiang's mother, when you go to Haicheng in the future, can you bring some things back for us? I heard that the things in Haicheng are fashionable and cheap, much better than those in the county."
"Yes, Shaoqiang's mother, you will be a city dweller in the future, so don't forget us!"
"You're getting more and more outrageous!" Chen Xianyun waved his hands, escaped from the crowd of members who were clamoring to help carry things or take them to Haicheng, and went back to the kitchen.
Jiang Hongmei heard all of this and tightened her fingers. Zhuang Xiaobao rushed over and hit her on the back. Jiang Hongmei screamed and found that the sewing needle had been deeply embedded in her fingers.
"Zhuang Xiaobao, what are you doing!"
Zhuang Xiaobaosi said without any guilt, "Stepmother, I'm hungry, cook for me."
He didn't even look at Jiang Hongmei's wound, turned around and rushed into the yard again.
"Dad, you're back."
Zhuang Xiaoyu came out to greet them. Zhuang Guoliang was carrying a backpack with various bamboo baskets tied to it, all of which were leftover goods that had been collected and sold.
After being exposed to the wind and sun for several months, his originally snow-white skin first turned red, and then after shedding a layer of skin, the new skin that grew out was dark.
He ignored Jiang Hongmei who was sitting at the door, and silently took out a two-finger-wide piece of pork from the basket, rinsed it with water, and put it into the pot to cook.
Zhuang Xiaoyu helped to light the fire, drooling over the piece of uncooked pork.
Since Jiang Li and Qi Shaoqiang left, Zhuang Guoliang learned the truth about Jiang Hongmei's rebirth. The two fought and quarreled, and finally became silent.
Looking after two children was more difficult than he had imagined. Just because of Zhuang Xiaobao's violent rage and viciousness, Zhuang Guoliang didn't know how many times he had beaten him, but it had a corresponding effect.
When the two fathers met, they were like enemies. Only Jiang Hongmei could occasionally say a few words to Zhuang Xiaobao.
On the surface, Xiao Yu seemed fine, but Zhuang Guoliang slowly discovered that she didn't seem to be the pure and kind daughter he knew.
All the troubles caused by Bao Bao, if you look into it carefully, there are some shadows behind them.
Zhuang Guoliang rubbed his hair irritably. This kid has been beaten and scolded, why is he still like this?
"Give me a few dollars. We need to buy salt for our family."
Jiang Hongmei reached out to Zhuang Guoliang, who was very impatient. "Why do you want money again? Didn't I just give it to you two days ago?"
"That's Zhuang Xiaobao's tuition, and I've spent it all."
Zhuang Guoliang had no choice but to take out some money from his pocket and give it to Jiang Hongmei.
Jiang Hongmei was impatient, "Why only 50 cents?"
"That's all I have. If you want it, take it."
