Chapter 189 Chapter 189 It’s Mid-Autumn Festival.
After Mu Mian came out of the factory, he started the car and drove towards No. 8 Middle School.
Capital No. 8 Middle School is the best high school in their area. Not only do the sisters Xixi and Xinxin attend this school, but the siblings Wen Anjing and Wen Anhang also attend this school.
No. 8 Middle School is not very far from Anfeng Hutong. The two sisters do not live on campus and are usually picked up and dropped off by Mu Mian and Nie Sihui.
The factory had good profits, and after a few years everyone made a lot of money. Not only did Mu Mian buy a car, but Nie Sihui and Shi Xiaolian also had cars.
The aunt and sister-in-law have relatively free time, so it is very convenient for them to pick up and drop off the children.
Mu Mian doesn't have many classes, and Nie Sihui is one of the bosses herself, so it doesn't matter if she arrives late or leaves early, both of them can always find time.
Wen Anjing and her brother lived in the school for a year. No. 8 Middle School was not close to the Wen family compound. They stopped living there later because Mu Mian's sister-in-law Zou Wanxiu, Wen Anhang's mother, came from the island to live permanently, mainly to accompany the children and parents.
It is very difficult to make major changes to a commander-in-chief of a military region like Wen Qi. His work cannot be changed, but Zou Wanxiu can.
There are three children in the family, two of whom are already grown up. Wen Anhang's eldest brother has joined the army, and his second brother is in college. Only Wen Anhang is in a critical period.
Zou Wanxiu now basically lives in the capital for several months at a time. She will go back to the island during the winter and summer vacations. She bought a house with a courtyard next to the No. 8 Middle School to make it convenient for her and her brother to go to and from school.
The teaching quality of No. 8 Middle School is good, but the accommodation conditions are really average. Strictly speaking, the accommodation conditions of most schools these days are not that good, so it is still more comfortable to go to school as a day student.
At that moment, because Mu Mian talked with Shi Xiaolian for a long time in the factory, the school was over when he arrived at No. 8 Middle School.
There were students waiting for buses in groups, and there were also groups of three or four riding bicycles and playing around. They were teenagers and full of energy.
Four siblings were standing on the roadside waiting for Mu Mian. Xinxin, who was only ten years old, was considered tall among her peers, but among a bunch of high school students, she was obviously much shorter and looked like an elementary school student who came to pick up her older brothers and sisters from school.
Mu Mian was driving and saw her children at a glance. Xinxin and the others of course also saw Mu Mian and ran two steps towards the direction of the car.
"Auntie!"
"Aunt."
"Aunt."
"Mom~"
Chirping, it seems as if a nest of baby birds have finally waited for their mother to return.
Mu Mian lowered the window and said, "Get in the car."
Wen Anhang was the tallest, occupying the co-pilot seat alone. The three sisters sat in the back, chattering away.
, the car drove towards the compound where the Wen family lived.
We had agreed before that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, so we will have dinner at the Wen family tonight.
When Mu Mian brought her four children home, the house was filled with fragrance. Chai Shunan and Zou Wanxiu were making mooncakes.
Xinxin was the first to run into the house, "Grandma, we're back!"
Mu Mian: "It smells so good, mom, have you finished baking one plate?"
Chai Shunan smiled and said, "Well, it's just out of the oven. Wash your hands and try it."
The house is equipped with all kinds of home appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, etc. Some were bought by Mu Mian and Wen Chen, and some were bought by Wen Zhe and others. Brothers bought one each, mainly for the convenience of life for the old couple.
Wen Anhang cried out, "I'm so hungry, I feel like I can eat a whole cow."
Zou Wanxiu: "I thought you guys would be hungry after coming back, so you should eat something first."
The teenagers ate their father out of money and finished a plate of food in no time.
A TV series was playing on the big color TV in the room. Zou Wanxiu and Chai Shunan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were busy preparing dinner. Mu Mian took the kids to make the remaining mooncakes. They had strange shapes, but since they were for family members to eat, no one would mind.
At about 7:30, the sound of a car was heard outside.
Wen Zhan drove back and picked up Wen Yi and Wen Zhe on the way.
The 40-year-old Wen Chen looked really majestic when he was outside. At the end of 1982, Wen Chen was promoted again and is now a major general.
In the staff quarters, the houses allocated were changed from apartment buildings to single-family houses.
Since Mu Mian graduated from graduate school, the couple's days of only being able to see each other on Saturdays and Sundays except for the winter and summer vacations have improved a lot.
Over the past year, unless he was particularly busy, Mu Mian would usually go back to his family compound, and the couple would be together three or four days or four or five days a week.
The good thing about having a car is that it is very convenient. The situation is similar for Nie Sihui and Mu Zhuo.
Husband and wife are one, so they always have to accommodate each other.
As soon as Wen Zhan and his brothers entered the house, the meal was ready, a large table full of delicious food.
During this time, two more plates of mooncakes were baked. Mu Mian gave Wen Chen a strange looking one and said, "Your daughter made the Chang'e flying to the moon. Try it."
It looks like a pancake that is not rounded enough, and you can't tell where Chang'e is and where the moon is.
Xinxin: "Making mooncakes is so difficult."
Wen Chen: "It's delicious."
Although the appearance is not good, the taste is indeed very good. After all, children are not involved in the filling and crust preparation.
The family stayed here at night. After breakfast the next morning, around ten o'clock, the couple took the sisters Xinxin and Xixi back to the courtyard.
There is a large family in the Wen family compound, and there are the same here, even more people.
The old couple Mu Fugui and the couple Mu Wan were not busy outside today. In the past two or three years, the restaurant and the grocery store have undergone great changes.
The first is the snack bar, which has now been changed into a small restaurant. Mu Wan has not been busy in the kitchen for a long time and has hired people to do the work.
The same goes for the grocery store. To be precise, it can no longer be called a grocery store. After the expansion, it is more like a small supermarket, covering an area of more than 200 square meters.
Comrade Mu Fugui now has the style of a big boss. He is over fifty years old and his career is entering a second spring.
Of course, the old couple, with their elementary school education, could not manage the situation alone, and Mu Mian and other younger generations also put in a lot of effort.
Both the supermarket and the restaurant were back on track early on. The old couple Mu Fugui and Mu Wan and the others were not particularly busy at ordinary times. The busiest ones at this moment were actually the sisters Mu Mai and Mu Miao.
They graduated in June this year. Perhaps influenced by their family, the two sisters are also hardworking. After discussing with their elder sister Xiaomian, the two sisters set up a cram school.
As for money, although the two sisters who just graduated from college didn't have much, they had a lot at home and they were not short of money.
Mu Cheng, the eldest brother, contributed part, and Mu Mian and Mu Wan also contributed part, which was considered an investment.
In the current environment, cram schools are really popular. Although they are just starting out, the enrollment situation is good. Many parents attach great importance to their children's grades and are willing to pay for tutoring.
The cram school has a bright future, and the two sisters are very busy.
The holidays were the time for students to take extra classes, so neither of them had time to come over for lunch and said they would come over in the evening.
Xu Lele’s situation is actually a bit similar to that of the two sisters. They are busier during holidays because they have to perform. However, state-owned units like the song and dance troupe have a formal vacation system.
As soon as she got the holiday, Xu Lele brought her daughter to Mu Mian's place.
Mu Mian and the others had just entered the house not long ago when Xiang Ruyi's voice rang out from the door, "Sister Xinxin, Sister Xinxin, I'm here!"
The little girl is five years old this year and is like a happy little puppy.
It is said that a daughter is like her parents. When her mother was a child, she always called her "Sister Xiao Mian" (Little Sister). The same is true for Xiao Ruyi. The little girl likes to play with Xinxin very much. Every time she comes, the first person she looks for is Xinxin.
Xinxin is in the yard right now. The weather is just right today. Eleven is lazily crawling on the ground basking in the sun while Xinxin is combing his hair.
Eleven, who is nearly twenty-two years old, is really an old dog. In the past two years, he has become less and less willing to move. Once he lies down, he won't move. The skin on his face has drooped, and he has long lost his former majesty.
If converted into human age, it is now a centenarian, which can be said to be quite long-lived.
Xiang Ruyi fiddled with her short legs and came close to Xinxin, helping her comb the dog's hair. Her little mouth was chattering about the little interesting things that happened in kindergarten. It was obvious that the little girl inherited her mother's genes and was very talkative.
Xiang Xuewu is not a talkative person, so he quietly went into the kitchen to help.
Xu Lele looked around and said, "I guess Shi Xiaolian hasn't come yet. How can someone love work so much? No, she clearly loves money."
Mu Fugui was sitting at the door shelling beans, and said in a carefree tone, "What you said is right, girl Le. Who doesn't love money?"
Xu Lele laughed, "Hahaha, that's right. Would you like to try one of my mooncakes now?"
Mu Fugui stretched out his hand, "Come one, come one."
Mu Mian came over and said, "I'll have one too. I haven't had the snacks made by Xiang Xuewu in your family for a long time."
Although this man is love-brained and will go wherever his wife is, he is not a househusband at all. He doesn't talk much, but he has a lot of plans in his mind.
When Xu Lele was working in the song and dance troupe, Xiang Xuewu was also busy. The provincial capital was handed over to the Mu Cheng brothers. After coming to the capital, he started to tinker with breeding and the food factory, and he was usually quite busy.
There were many people at home, so Xu Lele brought several large bags and finished half of them in a short while.
Mu Fugui smacked his lips and said, "Xuewu's mooncakes are better than those made by the old lady.
Good craftsmanship. ”
Mu Bei turned around and shouted into the house, "Grandma, I said your cooking is not tasty."
The little boy, who is over ten years old, is so naughty that he wants to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles every day, just like his father when he was a child.
The old lady: "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it for a while."
Mu Bei: "Master, grandma will let you starve for three days."
Mu Fugui: "Hey, you want to be beaten?!"
Xixi slapped her brother on the back, "Stop howling, you can't even hear the TV sound."
The naughty monkey became obedient in a second, and his blood was clearly suppressed.
After a while of excitement, Shi Xiaolian drove over with a lot of things in her hands. It was obvious that she bought them at the mall on the way.
Xiao Ruyi greeted her warmly, "Auntie Xiaolian, I haven't seen you for a long time, about eighty, ninety, twenty, forty days!"
Xu Lele: "After twenty comes thirty."
Little Ruyi counted on his fingers, "That's twenty, thirty, fifty days."
Xu Lele looked disconsolate and muttered, "Little idiot."
Mu Mian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Shi Xiaolian picked up little Ruyi and shook her, saying calmly, "It's obvious who she looks like."
Little Ruyi is very innocent and cute, "Mom is a big fool, so I am a little fool."
Xu Lele: “………………”
What a dear daughter!
