There were many people going to the market, and Lin Jingshu and Su Hongping carefully protected the two children as they walked forward.
People's faces were filled with smiles from the heart. This kind of happy scene had not appeared for a long time.
Lin Jingshu even saw a stall selling couplets, and she sighed inwardly that times have indeed changed.
Su Hongping was very tempted, "Let's buy some to take back."
In order to avoid being caught, we have just casually pasted some red paper for so many years, without any New Year atmosphere.
The light has finally arrived, and the couplets that are indispensable for the Chinese New Year must be arranged.
The two of them picked and chose from the stalls and selected a few that they liked to take home.
Lin Jingshu bought a piece of red paper and prepared to go home to cut window decorations.
The bright glass windows are decorated with various window grilles, creating a unique Chinese aesthetic.
The two returned with a full load, with the handlebars on both sides hanging full of things.
Fortunately, I was riding a bicycle, otherwise I would have been so exhausted after carrying all these things home that I would have felt overwhelmed for three days.
Lin Jingshu had just entered the house pushing her bike when she heard the children crying. She quickly parked her bike and ran into the house.
"I'm back. The two kids just woke up and I just made some milk powder for them."
Aunt Liu was holding a bottle of milk in her hand.
The two of them each looked after one of their children, and the little ones were happily eating from their bottles.
As the children grew older, Lin Jingshu had less milk and gradually weaned them.
Fortunately, the two little ones are not picky eaters and they enjoy drinking even milk powder.
"Aunt Liu, I bought a big bone. Let's stew it tonight."
Aunt Liu is from Northeast China, and her pickled sauerkraut is the most authentic.
Lin Jingshu still remembers the sauerkraut and pork ribs stewed at the Gu family during the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, let's stew it right away."
Simmering over low heat yields the best flavor.
When Gu Chengze got off work, the house was filled with the aroma of pickled vegetables.
Ji Pingshan, who came back with him, kept sniffing the fragrance in the air. "Old Gu, I remembered that we still have something to discuss. Why don't we go to your house and talk for a while?"
This guy is shameless, the words "freeloading" are clearly written on his face.
"What's wrong? You don't like the food I cooked?"
His words were heard by Su Hongping who happened to be out, and she immediately scolded him.
Ji Pingshan didn't dare to say no, and immediately begged for mercy: "My wife has wronged me, I really have something to say."
Su Hongping twisted the man's ear and carried him away. They had been married for so many years, and she didn't need to wonder what he was up to with just one look from him.
"Captain Gu, let's go home and have dinner first."
Su Hongping said hello and took the desperate Ji Pingshan home.
Gu Chengze was delighted and went home a little faster.
He couldn't bear to eat the food cooked by his wife, so Old Ji didn't even think about it.
Gu Chengze is a food protector in this regard.
Unfortunately, he forgot that his wife was very generous and hospitable. When the pickled cabbage and pork ribs were ready, she sent a large bowl of it to Mrs. Su's house next door.
I sent her the meat pies that Su Hongping baked in the evening.
Ji Pingshan drooled when he saw the pickled cabbage and pork bones on the table. It was so sour and refreshing.
Su Hongping couldn't bear to watch and pinched the flesh on his waist, "Why don't you go wash your hands and eat?"
"Okay!"
Faced with delicious food, Ji Pingshan had already forgotten about his face.
In the next yard, An An Ningning saw her father coming back and waved her hands happily.
"baba~"
"My dear daughter, Daddy will go change his clothes right away."
Captain Gu, who had hurriedly washed up, successfully gained ownership of the little fat cub.
The two little ones who had drunk milk powder in the afternoon were not hungry, but they were very anxious when they saw the adults eating.
I had to lie down at the table and watch them eat.
Even their little hands are ready to secretly put things into their mouths when the adults are not paying attention.
Look, Ningning grabbed the shredded sauerkraut on the edge of the bowl with her little hands and put it into her mouth.
"Gu Chengze!"
Gu Chengze looked down and saw that this was too much. A pair of big hands embraced his daughter and used a handkerchief to wipe the oil off her hands.
The duck that was about to be eaten flew away. Ningning's little mouth pouted, and she was about to cry the next second, but a spoonful of confusion appeared in her mouth.
The little guy's mouth immediately closed and he stared at his mother with wide eyes.
Lin Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. As a mother, she understood the character of her greedy children. If there was no dry food for them on the dinner table, they would cry in front of her.
With the fragrant rice porridge to eat, the little guy finally stopped making noise.
Aunt Liu finished eating first, looked at the children, and asked the couple to eat slowly.
"I went to the market today and bought a lot of things. Please check later to see if there is anything I am missing."
Gu Chengze agreed.
Lin Jingshu noticed the wear and tear on his cuffs and said with a helpless smile, "If someone didn't know you, they'd think you were climbing mountains and carrying rocks every day."
I just changed my clothes, but they feel like I've been wearing them for a year even though I haven't worn them for a month.
Gu Chengze usually pays attention to it, but there is a lot of training in the military camp, so he can't help but neglect it when he is busy.
"Tomorrow I'll buy some new cloth. It's a new year, a new atmosphere. Let's all make new clothes."
The temperature on the island is high, so you can't wear sweaters or cotton-padded jackets all year round.
Lin Jingshu is not a person who procrastinates, she does what she says.
The next day, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and picked out a few feet of comfortable material.
Put the children in the walker and let the mother make clothes without worry.
The walker was used by Ji Xinji and his sister in the past. In that era, people valued frugality, and the same walker was used by children one after another.
Lin Jingshu didn't despise it. Mrs. Su generously gave it to her, so she should be grateful.
The two siblings didn’t have enough, so Gu Chengze bought another one from Uncle Niu.
The walker that Mrs. Su gave me had the rough parts on the outside polished off and was re-oiled, so it looks like new.
For fear that the children would bump into the furniture, Lin Jingshu pushed everything against the wall, leaving an open space in the middle for the children to play.
Ningning no longer slacked off while sitting in the walker, and kicked her calves vigorously.
When Fang Yuanyuan came to the house, the little guy had a lot of fun.
"Ningning, look what delicious food I brought."
Fang Yuanyuan deliberately took out the canned food from her pocket to tease her. Ningning, the little foodie, had eyes that lit up. She rode her walker to her aunt and looked at her eagerly.
An An's reaction was not as big as her sister's, but she looked at her in the same posture.
"These two little greedy cats."
Lin Jingshu brought over a chair.
Fang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing the child can eat it. This is something a relative of mine sent back from Inner Mongolia."
In addition to the canned food she brought, the beef jerky and cheese blocks were all specialties from Inner Mongolia.
"so much."
Could they all be sent to them?
After Fang Yuanyuan knew what she was thinking, she said, "My dad is allergic to milk, and my mom doesn't like beef jerky, so I brought some extra."
"I'm so sorry."
Lin Jingshu said this, but she was actually very happy in her heart. It was so rare to be able to eat the specialties of Inner Mongolia.
Fang Yuanyuan glared at her and said, "Come on, I don't know your temper yet. You can't suppress your happy smile."
Lin Jingshu touched the corner of her mouth and it seemed like that.
She was so generous, and Lin Jingshu was not a stingy person. She waved her hand and indicated that they would have barbecue in the evening!
