Chapter 165: Is She About to Cry?
Shi Luo frowned as he looked at the little baby with a rosy face sleeping. "Isn't it too early to send him to the Yuhong class at the age of one? Such a small baby can't even speak a complete sentence, and can't walk steadily. If he gets bumped or bullied, he won't know how to express himself. It's better to send him to the Yuhong class after he can speak."
Uncle Chu shook his head and said, "Why would they be bullied? The staff of our factory's red-raising team are all women comrades who are patient and like dolls. They are all family members of our factory employees.
Besides, the kids there are as young as two or three months old, and the oldest is only four years old. They won't take any kids over four. They're all just a bunch of little kids, and parents can go and check on them if they're worried, so no one can bully anyone else. As for bumps and bruises, well, that can only be avoided as much as possible."
"Oh, she's awake now. Her eyes are quite big."
Liang Song stood behind the stroller and looked at the baby in the quilt and continued,
"Open her mouth, open her mouth. Is she going to cry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little baby burst into tears.
Sister Zhou rubbed her hands and felt them warmer, then she reached into the little girl's bed and touched the diaper. "Hey, grandma's good granddaughter, don't cry, don't cry, you haven't peed yet, are you hungry? Wait for grandma to hold you and make you some milk powder."
After saying that, he skillfully wrapped the child in a small blanket and held him in his arms. He bent down and took out a bundle from the bottom of the cart and opened it on the table.
Seeing that Sister Zhou was too busy, Shi Luo took the bottle directly and said, "Let me make the milk powder for you. Is this the same as what we drink? What's the difference?"
Sister Zhou patted the child and smiled, "What's the big deal? Just pour the water from my water tank into the baby bottle. Fill as many bottles as you want. I cooled the water in advance, and it's about the same temperature now. Just put three spoonfuls of milk powder in it, shake it, and you can feed the baby."
Shi Luo felt that this method of making milk powder was different from what he had heard before, but he still made it according to what Sister Zhou said. Seeing the child gulping down the milk powder, he smiled.
While feeding her child, Sister Zhou said, "Don't look at this little girl as her only daughter, but her appetite is not to be underestimated. This half bottle of milk can only last her three hours. If she only drinks formula, she really can't afford it."
Guyu frowned as she watched the little girl drinking the milk powder with such relish, "I heard you say before that your second son went to buy milk powder for his child. Is it because her mother doesn't have enough milk?"
Sister Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "Enough, how can it not be enough? The father of the child wants to give the child more nutrition. He is doing this for the good of the child.
Although the street office can handle milk certificates for families with children, milk is much cheaper than milk powder.
But I heard from my neighbors that their children would have diarrhea every time they drank milk before they were six months old. My second daughter-in-law tried feeding the child milk twice, but the child cried and made a fuss after drinking it, and had diarrhea, and the stool was not good either. So I didn’t dare to feed the child anymore, so I bought milk powder later.
As for milk, my second son thought that it would be more nutritious for the child to drink the mother's milk, so he would make fresh milk every day and boil it for his wife to drink so that it would not be wasted. This way, her mother would have enough nutrition and milk, and the child would be well-fed. If there was really no milk, my little darling would have to drink rice soup.
Oh, it's true that children nowadays are better off. Back then, we had to depend on the weather for even drinking wild vegetable soup, not to mention milk powder.
In those days, if there was really nothing to feed their children, some parents would even use their own blood to feed them. That's why they said that children who could be raised in those days were the roots and treasures of the family.
Seeing that the child had almost finished drinking, Sister Zhou poured a little water into the bottle, shook it back and forth, and fed the child again. This time, the child urinated again. After changing the nipple, she coaxed the child to sleep again.
Sister Zhou carefully placed the baby in the wooden stroller. When she saw that the baby had urinated, she boiled the bottle with water and finally poured the boiling water in the bottle into her own water jar.
Sister Zhou threw the dirty ring on her hand directly into the basin she brought in the morning, and then kicked the basin under the desk before she finished.
Shi Luo was afraid that the sound of him cracking melon seeds would wake the child, so he casually stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth and asked, "Have you guys checked out the houses allocated by the factory these past two days?"
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up when he heard the word "house". He was very excited. "I received the notice yesterday at noon and went to see it. Wow, it's really nice. The walls are painted white. I have prepared the furniture here and I am just waiting to move in. When I get married in five days, my wife and I can live in the new house directly. It will be a double happiness then."
I have to be more frugal after getting married. I am getting married and moving to a new house, and I don’t have enough money. So I applied to the factory and they deducted some of the money for the new house from my salary every month.
But it’s okay, I can pay it off in eight months, and then everything will be fine.”
When Xiao Feng came back from a business trip and heard the news about the house exchange, he quickly found someone to buy the house exchange quota. He took a leave of absence, went home to get the money, and immediately signed up. Fortunately, he got the last 60-square-meter house that could be exchanged for money.
Shi Luo nodded. "Yesterday, Brother Jiang and I went to look at a house. It's not bad. It's on the third floor. Across from me is a 120-square-meter apartment, but the first and second floors are both 30 square meters. I don't know if it will be easy to get along with the neighbors in the future."
Liang Song: "My house is right across from yours. My mom has already asked for it for me in advance. Hehe, don't worry about being my neighbor. I will definitely get along well with you."
Uncle Chu glanced at Liang Song, who had no idea what worry was. "You silly boy, Shi Luo is worried about whether you can get along well with others. He is worried about the neighbors on the first and second floors.
You know, no one would put a kitchen and toilet in a 30-square-meter house to take up space.
The factory leaders had considered the toilet building carefully when they built it. For a 30-square-meter house, two rooms were separated on the first floor to serve as toilets and water rooms.
As for the kitchen, each family can build a cabinet at the door of their own house, and then carry the stove to the door when cooking.
Once everyone moves in, they'll all be new neighbors, so there's bound to be some friction. But you're not on the same floor as them, so just stay away from them and it won't be a big deal."
Liang Song nodded, "I was wondering why there was a small room of about six square meters next to my house and the house opposite. Now it seems that the location should be the corresponding location of the toilet downstairs.
Hey, there's no need to build a toilet or water room outside on my floor. What is the factory going to do with that small house? Are they going to let people live there?
If I can move, I will scrape together some money and move to the one next to my house. Then I won’t have to worry about not having enough space when I have more sons.
It also prevents the family with more people on the first floor from having 30 square meters not enough to live in and from planning to move into our small house upstairs, which would cause trouble for me.”
