Chapter 85
Lin Yao blinked her eyes, but she had the heart but not the courage.
After all, every time she had a bad intention to "bully" Deputy Director Gu, she was bullied instead of being bullied.
This is so unfortunate, it's all because someone is too strong. Compared with him, she is just like a weakling.
Lin Yao stopped thinking and slept obediently with her fat son in her arms.
Now, little Gu Doudou is no longer satisfied with sleeping in the cradle. Every time his parents are affectionate, the fat boy has to squeeze in as a burden.
One night, the kid fell asleep, and Gu Shian gently put him back in the cradle. The next day, the kid woke up and found that he was not in the big bed. He was so angry that he screamed. His old father went to hug him. The kid held Deputy Director Gu's handsome face with his two chubby hands and nibbled and bit it. In the end, it was Lin Yao who stepped in to comfort the kid.
Gu Doudou held his hands and babbled for a while. He woke up and fell asleep in his mother's sweet and soft arms.
Gu Shian put the fat boy aside, surrounded him with a pillow, and covered the kid with a small quilt to make him sleep more comfortably.
Lin Yao yawned, "Doudou is still small now. When he grows up, he will be able to turn over. By then, it will be more tiring than this. Our Deputy Director Gu has worked so hard."
Gu Shian raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and smiled, with an obvious smile in his eyes.
"I wonder what reward Comrade Lin has for this?"
Reward?
What is that?
Lin Yao said that she was sleepy and confused and didn't understand what this meant.
Gu Shian chuckled softly, blew out the lights, and held Lin Yao's small waist with his big hands, lowered his head and kissed her.
Lin Yao was very comfortable being kissed, and thought that someone just kissed her and that was it, but she didn't expect a big hand to untie her pajamas. Lin Yao couldn't help but push him, "What are you doing, Doudou is still there."
Gu Shi'an buried himself in her hair, holding the snow-white softness. He whispered, "Be good, let me see."
"Hmm?"
"Get the reward."
"Pah!"
*
Autumn has gone and winter has come, everything is bleak, the row of big banyan trees at the entrance of the big courtyard alley had lost their leaves early, leaving only bare branches.
In the blink of an eye, little Gu Doudou is more than five months old and almost half a year old. As the old saying goes, crawl three times, turn four times, sit six times, and crawl seven times, walk eight times.
Ever since the fat boy unlocked the skill of rolling over, he refused to lie quietly in bed. If there is no adult watching, the kid can roll over from the bed to under the bed.
Lin Yao's maternity leave ended, and she went to work at the cotton textile factory in October.
Because Gu Doudou was not sent to a nursery, Deputy Director Gu took the fat son to the Public Security Bureau in the morning, so that he could work and take care of the child at the same time.
Fortunately, only half of the workshops in the cotton textile factory are open now, and the logistics department is not busy. After working half a day in the morning, he can go to the Public Security Bureau to pick up Gu Doudou to go home at around 2 pm. As soon as
Lin Yao returned home, the kid would not stop, either crying for milk or making noises and asking to go to the yard to see the fresh food.
Lin Yao was so annoyed by the noise that she could only take out the baby-caring tool that Deputy Director Gu usually used, tied her fat son on her back with a cloth bag, and carried him out for a stroll.
It is said that she is willing to serve her children.
Lin Yao carried Gu Doudou on her back, and the little cub lay in the cloth bag with his head held high. His two fat hands were clenched into small fists, and his big eyes were staring at the leafless pomegranate tree and the rabbit nest in the yard.
The sunshine in early winter was warm. Lin Yao walked around the yard with her fat son in her arms. When Gu Doudou saw the snow-white little rabbits in the rabbit nest eating leaves with their three-lobed mouths, he danced with excitement and wished he could stretch out his little claws to grab them.
The mother rabbit was very protective of her cubs, so Lin Yao quickly took the cub away.
The mother and son walked around the yard for two laps, and Gu Doudou cried out twice.
The mother knew that he was hungry and needed milk.
However, the little boy was more than five months old now, and breast milk alone could not satisfy his appetite.
Lin Yao gave him some easy-to-digest supplementary food, such as egg yolk, fruit puree, rice porridge, etc.
Among them, Gu Doudou's favorite food was the sour and sweet apple puree stewed by his mother.
Lin Yao changed the chubby boy's diaper, put him in the small crib with fence that Gu Mancang had just made. This crib was similar to the cribs of later generations, but a size larger. It was covered with a small mattress filled with cotton, which was soft to step on. The ground around it was also covered with bamboo mats, and there were small quilts and pillows of the same color.
Lin Yao used her own home-made tricks to sew a few dolls for the little boy, such as a little rabbit, a little tiger, a little turtle, a fat fish, etc., which were washed and dried thoroughly. There were not many styles, but they were enough for Gu Doudou to play with.
Gu Doudou likes the big fat fish that his mother makes for him and the small sailboat that his father gives him the most. When the fat boy has nothing to do
, he sits on the crib and gnaws the big fat fish while holding it. Lin Yao kisses her son's chubby face and talks to him, "Baby, mommy is going to stew apple puree. You be good and wait for mommy, okay?"
Gu Doudou seems to understand. He blows bubbles on his fair face and points at the big fat fish doll and calls out.
Lin Yao smiles and puts the big fat fish into the little boy's hand. The little boy lies on the crib, gnaws his feet while holding the big fat fish and babbling.
Lin Yao goes to the kitchen and comes over to take a look from time to time.
The fat boy was really obedient. The old mother was relieved and quickened her work. She peeled two big red apples, added water to the pot and steamed them on the grate.
Time flies when she is home with the baby. Lin Yao glanced at the old clock in the room and realized that it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.
The family went home at 6 o'clock. Lin Yao went back and chatted with the fat boy. She took the pumpkin from the kitchen, peeled it, removed the seeds and cut it into pieces. She picked a few handfuls of brown rice and simmered a pot of sweet pumpkin porridge over low heat.
When the pumpkin porridge boiled and the apples steamed in the pot were ready, Lin Yao turned off the fire, mashed the apples with a small spoon, put them in a bowl, cooled them, and fed them to Gu Doudou one spoonful at a time.
The little boy sat in the walker, took a sip of the apple puree with his little tongue, and his beautiful big eyes narrowed in delight. Daju was curiously stewing beside him, watching Gu Doudou eat the apple puree and licking his paws. He wanted to understand why the little master was eating so much, because dried fish was obviously more delicious, wasn't it?
Seeing Daju squatting on one side, Lin Yao suddenly remembered that this guy ran outside every day, hadn't taken a bath for several days, and jumped on the head of the bed all day long. He didn't have the consciousness of a little cat at all, and kept nagging about boiling water for Daju to take a bath.
This scared Daju, and the cat's ears stood up. Before Lin Yao called it, it ran away with its farts and urine flowing.
In the evening, Gu Shian came back with a bag of red apples in his hand. Lin Yao didn't need to ask, it must be someone who bought them from the countryside through connections.
His fat son likes to eat this.
In fact, when no one is at home, Lin Yao will also take out some bananas, oranges, pears, grapefruits, etc. from the space to make complementary food for the little guy.
Unfortunately, Gu Doudou didn't like bananas, especially. Lin Yao fed him a spoonful of bananas, but the little guy even blocked them with his tongue. "
Okay.
If you don't like it, don't eat it."
Deputy Director Gu put down the red apple and went to the house to check on Gu Doudou. Gu Doudou was full and smacked his lips, feeling sleepy. The big orange that had just escaped had come back at some point and was sleeping in his nest with his paws as a pillow.
Lin Yao was so angry that she complained to Gu Shian.
"Daju is disobedient and hasn't had a bath for several days. I told him to give it a bath, but he ran away."
After saying that, he stamped his feet and said, "If Daju doesn't take a bath, I won't let him go to bed tonight!"
Gu Shian was silent for a moment, thinking that Daju never went to bed because he was afraid of being rubbed bald by a little girl.
He could only think about this in his heart. Deputy Director Gu said with a tactful look, "It's okay. I'll boil a pot of water later to ensure that Daju can't run away."
Lin Yao was happy and went back to the kitchen to work.
Tonight, the family will have pork vermicelli and cabbage stew. Gu Shian also washed his hands and rolled up his sleeves to help.
The couple worked together without getting tired.
After a while, the smell of rice came from the kitchen of old Gu's house.
In the alley of Dazayuan, every household was lighting a stove and cooking. Amid the rising smoke, Gu Mancang came into the courtyard carrying a basket full of bamboo shoots. He sat on the steps as soon as he entered the house, too tired to get up.
Zhang Cuilan opened the curtain and came out of the house.
"Old man, are you back? What the hell is this?"
Zhang Cuilan called her son to go into the house to pour water for Gu Mancang.
"My second brother brought winter bamboo shoots from the countryside."
Gu Shidong went into the house and poured a cup of warm water. Gu Mancang took it in his hand and drank it all in a few gulps, then sat on the steps to rest.
It turned out that this morning, Zhang Erjiu went to the city to deliver winter bamboo shoots grown by the production team to the supply and marketing cooperative, and also left a basket for the old Gu family, but he came at an unfortunate time. The
old Gu family went to work, went to school, and the family was locked up.
Zhang Erjiu had no choice but to give a cigarette to the boss of the steel mill, gave two winter bamboo shoots, put a basket of winter bamboo shoots in the communication room, and hurried back to the village.
Gu Mancang was called by the boss of the communication room as soon as he got off work.
Zhang Cuilan slapped her head, "Look at my brain. My eldest brother told me before, but I forgot because I was too busy with the pig farm. My second brother came to the city and left without even drinking a sip of water."
Lin Yao comforted her mother-in-law and said proudly, "Next time when my second uncle comes, we will treat him to hot pot."
Gu Shidong clapped his hands happily, "Hot pot is good, hot pot warms the body."
Zhang Cuilan glared at her old son, "Eat, eat, you only know how to eat. If you come back last in the exam this year, I will give you duck eggs!"
The brat's butt felt cold and he ran away quickly, covering his butt.
This winter, the old Gu family received good news one after another. First, Lin Yao was converted to a regular household registration, and he jumped from a rural household registration to an urban household registration that eats commercial grain.
The settlement procedures in Yunshui County are rather complicated, but with Gu Shi'an around, Lin Yao's settlement became extremely simple.
Others who want to settle in the city have to run back and forth several times, and it was freezing in the cold weather. Lin Yao felt at ease lying down at home, and left the rest to Deputy Director Gu.
It only took two days to successfully settle in Yunshui County.
As soon as the household registration was obtained, the food book was also obtained.
Zhang Cuilan's eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, "It's good to have a food book, Yaoyao can also eat a fixed amount in the future."
Lin Yao nodded happily.
What made her even happier was still to come.
There was finally news about her eldest brother Lin Yi who was far away in Xinjiang.
The parcels and letters that Lin Yao had sent out earlier were finally delivered to the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang after a month.
Considering that the Gobi Desert was unusually cold in winter, Lin Yao put food and daily necessities in the parcels, and also put dozens of pairs of labor insurance gloves and ten cans of frostbite cream, which were common frostbite creams these days. She wrote in the letter that she asked a friend to buy the frostbite cream, and that the four members of the old customer's family ate commercial food, so they only needed one pair of labor insurance gloves per month. It was not uncommon for them to have saved these for several years, so she told her elder brother to use them without worry, and that writing this way would not be abrupt or attract attention. When
Lin Yi received the new package from his sister, he was so excited that his nose was snotting and his tears were streaming.
This is not an exaggeration. Ever since their parents passed away and Lin Yi returned to the army, the brother and sister have not had any contact for more than two years.
Lin Yi wrote many letters and subsidies to Linjia Village, but these letters were sent out without any reply.
Lin Yi knew his sister's temperament. She was gentle, weak and had no opinions, but she was not a child that would make the family worry.
She would definitely reply when she received the letter. There was only one possibility for no news for such a long time.
Those letters that were sent out never reached his sister's hands!
If they didn't reach his sister's hands, they must have been intercepted by someone.
When Lin Yi thought about it, he thought of Lin Daguo's family.
His sister was living under the care of Lin Daguo, and those letters and money were not in the hands of Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng, but in the hands of Lin Hongna and Lin Hongwu, brother and sister!
Lin Yi knew that Lin Daguo's family was malicious, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel that they would marry his sister to the Gu family!
When Lin Yi saw what was in his sister's heart, his eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. If he was not thousands of miles away in the Gobi Desert, he would have wanted to fly back to Linjia Village and give that family of ungrateful bastards a good beating!
The political commissar of the battalion next to him saw that Lin Yi's face was not right, and hurriedly spoke up.
"Old man, take a deep breath."
Lin Yi is no longer the hot-tempered young man. He sneered and kept the account of Lin Daguo's family in his heart. It is not a bad thing for his sister to marry Gu Shian and escape from the cage of Lin's family.
To be fair, Lin Yi still has a good feeling about Gu Shian. This man is scheming and sophisticated, handsome and steady, and makes people feel at ease at first glance. Moreover, the two elders of the Gu family treat his sister as a daughter. His sister is married and lives a good life. From the letters, we can see that the couple lives a sweet life.
Lin Yi, the cheap brother-in-law, should raise his hands in agreement, but he is sour in his heart, like a jealous person.
His sister is only in her early twenties, and Gu Shian is already thirty!
The old cow eats the young grass, and just like that, he took his sister away. As a brother, there is always a bit of bitterness in his heart. Lin Yi bared his teeth, read a few lines, and suddenly grinned, laughing happily.
"I have a nephew, haha! Lao Jia, I am an uncle now!"
