"Okay, didn't your uncle subscribe to newspapers a few days ago? There should be some books he has read at home. When he comes back, we can ask if there is anyone who can wrap our books in covers." An Hongdou answered her while riding her bicycle hard.
It’s a nice sunny day today.
An Hongdou was riding her bike home when Aunt Wang and her three children were basking in the sun in the yard.
There was a mat laid on the smooth bluestone slabs in the yard. Dabao was wearing too thick clothes, and he stretched out his arms to crawl forward but couldn't, which looked a little funny.
Grandma Su was washing the babies' clothes at the washing table. An Hongdou parked her bicycle aside. An Changyue had already jumped off the bicycle and ran to the mat. She grabbed the second baby who was closest to her and asked, "Sis isn't here today. Did you miss me?"
The tone was deliberately exaggerated, without caring whether Erbao could understand it or not.
Erbao thought An Changyue was teasing him, and he started giggling, with a pool of saliva flowing down his chin.
An Hongdou did not take care of the three children first, but said to Grandma Su: "Grandma, if you have time, just help take care of the children. I will wash their clothes."
"It's okay. It's not easy for you to study at the beginning. Rest more when you come back and spend more time with the children when you have time. They are just some small clothes. It won't be tiring for me to wash them." Grandma Su said.
An Hongdou still felt very embarrassed, but she couldn't argue with Grandma Su.
Sanbao turned around and saw An Hongdou coming back. His face changed immediately and he started crying.
Aunt Wang said, "Little Sanbao probably misses his mother and wants to drink milk. Hongdou, do you want to feed him?"
Usually when An Hongdou is at home, Sanbao is the most obedient. But today the three people he is most familiar with are not here. He has already cried not long after they left, and he has only just been coaxed out of his tears.
"I think we should make him some milk powder. Hongdou will officially go to school tomorrow, and he can only come back once a day at noon. It's not easy for a child to be addicted to milk. We might as well take this opportunity to stop him from drinking milk. It will be easier and more convenient for him to drink milk powder in the future." Grandma Su suggested.
Since arriving here, An Hongdou sometimes has to go out for business, so Sanbao has long been raised with a mixture of formula and breast milk.
However, when An Hongdou was around, he refused to eat milk powder.
So among the three children, he is the one who is most attached to An Hongdou.
"Then I'll listen to grandma." When she started school, it was not convenient for her to breastfeed her third child.
After all, most girls in junior high school are still young, and even if some of them are married, they will not choose to go to school anymore.
When she was breastfeeding, she had a strong smell of milk, which was quite embarrassing for her to go to school with a group of little girls.
Another thing is, as Grandma Su said, she spends most of the day at school, so it is not convenient to breastfeed her.
"Then you should quickly go into the house and hide so that this boy can't see you." Grandma Su put the things in her hands away and pushed her into the house.
It is said that mother and child are connected by heart. Hearing Sanbao crying so pitifully, An felt bad too.
After they got into the house, An Hongdou asked Grandma Su, "Grandma, how long will it take to wean the baby?"
"It will only take three to five days. Once the milk stops flowing, it won't be a waste of effort if he can't eat." Grandma Su said, "You should be patient for a few days, but don't be soft on him, otherwise it will be a waste of effort. I will take Sanbao back to take care of him for a few days. As long as he doesn't see you, he won't have any desire in his heart."
Although she said that, she still felt bad when she heard the child crying.
Fortunately, An Changyue was outside and quickly coaxed Sanbao into falling asleep. She then gave him a bottle of milk powder and coaxed him to sleep.
In the afternoon, Grandma Su took Sanbao away.
The most torturous time is when a child is weaned, so she took her three babies away and has no plans to come over for the next few days.
Then, An Hongdou moved a bench and installed pinhole cameras in every corner of the house and hidden places in the yard.
Maybe she was thinking too much.
But in later generations, there are also some black-hearted nannies.
Especially since children don’t understand anything and there is no adult to look after them at home, Grandma Su won’t come over to wean Sanbao these days.
There is also the issue of safety. Aunt Wang is alone at home with Dabao and Erbao. Although it means that she doesn't need to do anything else at home, everyone has moments of hesitation.
Both children can already roll and crawl, but when the weather gets a little hotter and their clothes are taken off, there’s no telling if these toddlers will bump into any of the objects they encounter.
They had already had dinner, but Shen Xiangzhi hadn't come back yet.
An Hongdou went to the study, took a few newspapers he had read a few days ago from the table, and came out to ask An Changyue to wrap the books in covers.
An Changyue saw that An Hongdou hadn't prepared anything, so she asked her, "Aunt, don't you need to wrap it up?"
"I won't wrap it. Dabao and Erbao are both sleepy. I'll take them to bed first. You should also hurry up and get ready and go to bed." An Hongdou said.
"Okay then." She had originally wanted to wrap book covers with her aunt so that they could share the joy of going to school, but her aunt had to take care of the children and didn't have time, so she had to give up.
When Shen Xiangzhi came back, An Hongdou was almost asleep with her eyes closed.
Noticing that he was lying beside her quietly and kissing her on the face, she opened her eyes, "Why are you back so late? Didn't you finish school a long time ago?"
Shen Xiangzhi chuckled and stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose, "You don't really think that university teachers are only responsible for teaching classes, right?"
"What else?" How would she know since she had never been a teacher.
“I still have to prepare lessons and attend meetings…” Shen Xiangzhi said.
In addition, although he can only be considered a trainee teacher for now, he is an economist.
The development of a country is inseparable from the economy. In this situation where a person wishes he could be divided into eight parts, teachers cannot just stay in school to teach and educate people.
The reason why Jiangnan University can still be preserved intact at this moment and has not been affected by this era at all is because Jiangnan University is not only a place to cultivate talents, but also conducts research in various aspects and strives to make the greatest contribution to the country.
Similarly, this also means that if Shen Xiangzhi wants to make achievements in a place with so many talents, he will inevitably be busy in the future.
"Then you won't be busy until late at night every day like today, right?" Although it is normal for men to work hard for their careers, but if he does this every day, let alone rely on him in family matters, they will probably have very little time to spend together.
"No, it's just that there are a lot of things to do at the beginning and it's quite busy. It will be fine after a few days of settling down." Shen Xiangzhi said.
The light at the bedside was dim, and by the light, Shen Xiangzhi saw a book on the bedside table.
He picked it up. The cover of the book was brightly colored and glowed, the paper inside was white, and the handwriting was clear. It was completely different from the quality of books expected in this era, and he couldn't help but become curious.
