When Shen Zhihuan opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. The other side of the bed was empty, and there was a note left by Su Ziyu on the bedside table.
[Wife, I'm going to work. I'll probably be busy these two days, so I'll be back late. If you feel sleepy at night, go to bed by yourself and don't wait for me.]
Shen Zhihuan threw the note into the resort and got up lazily.
When she went out with her messy hair, Xiao Qiping was lying in front of the water tank looking at the little goldfish. When he saw Shen Zhihuan open the door and come out, he shouted to the next yard at the top of his voice: "Grandma, Second Aunt is awake."
As soon as the little guy finished speaking, Su Lili, who was wearing a small floral dress, rushed over with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law, Dad, Big Brother, and Big Sister-in-law have all gone to the flour mill to report. There are only four of us at home today."
"So urgent?" Shen Zhihuan was stunned.
I just arrived in Beijing yesterday afternoon and reported for duty today.
She also wanted to take them out for a good walk before school started.
"My second brother originally wanted to let dad, eldest brother, and eldest sister-in-law rest for a few more days, but dad said that it would be boring to stay idle at home, so it would be better for them to report for work earlier and adapt to life in the factory as soon as possible." Su Lili smiled and came close to little Qiping and rubbed the little guy's chubby face.
Little Qiping looked down at the goldfish in the water tank and did not resist, being very well behaved.
After Shen Zhihuan finished washing up and went to the next courtyard, Zhang Fengxia's dumpling soup was ready.
The dumpling soup with sauerkraut is especially appetizing in summer.
Shen Zhihuan drank a large bowl in one breath.
This made Zhang Fengxia, who was standing by, smile happily.
I immediately decided to make dumpling soup tomorrow morning.
After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Shen Zhihuan dragged Zhang Fengxia, Su Lili and Xiao Qiping out of the door.
It was still early, so Shen Zhihuan did not choose to take the bus, but instead took a few people for a slow walk.
Unlike Panshi Village where all you can see except the crops are mountains, in the capital city, all you can see are tall and short houses that are arranged in an orderly manner.
A six or seven-story building would be like a dwarf in later generations, but at this time, it would be a tall giant.
Little Qiping looked at the seven-story department store in front of him and danced with joy.
"Grandma, a big building."
Zhang Fengxia looked at the luxuriously decorated seven-story building in front of her and her heart was pounding.
Such a high-end place, why would people like them come? !
Su Lili was also a little scared.
She had always thought that the department store in Sichuan was grand enough, but she didn't expect that the department store in Beijing could be...
So magnificent.
The department store in Sichuan City is completely different from this place, like a nephew meeting his uncle - there is a huge difference!
"Mom, the vegetables here are very fresh. You can buy them here in the future." Shen Zhihuan took Zhang Fengxia's arm.
Su Lili held Xiao Qiping's hand tightly.
Compared to the nervousness of Zhang Fengxia and Su Lili, Xiao Qiping was very excited.
His watery eyes look here and there, just like a curious baby.
Maybe because there is no sun today, there are a lot of people in the department store.
Especially the floor where vegetables are sold, there are old ladies and young wives carrying vegetable baskets everywhere.
In front of the meat stall, there are three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Second Aunt, what is that?" Little Qiping asked, pointing at the yam on the shelf that looked like a firewood stick.
"That's yam. It tastes good whether fried or stewed." Shen Zhihuan immediately asked the salesperson to weigh two.
Yam is rich in cellulose and mucin, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, can enhance the spleen and stomach function, promote intestinal peristalsis, and has a regulating effect on spleen deficiency, poor appetite, and indigestion.
Yam also contains nutritious starch and protein. Amylase can provide energy to the brain, while choline and lecithin help improve memory and are beneficial to the development of the cerebral cortex.
Eating it can also improve brain function and intelligence for children.
"Zhihuan, mother has money." Zhang Fengxia said hurriedly.
The second son sends money home every month, plus the money given from the second daughter-in-law from time to time, and the monthly salary handed in by the eldest son, all added up to more than three thousand yuan.
The child’s father will also receive a salary every month in the future.
The second daughter-in-law is pregnant now, and there will be many places where she will need to spend money in the future! As parents, they can't help them much, and they must not add to their burden.
"Mom, we are family and we shouldn't have different opinions." Shen Zhihuan said coquettishly.
As she was about to reach out to take the yam that the salesperson had placed on the counter, Su Lili had already swiftly put the yam into the cloth bag she was carrying when she went out.
"Second sister-in-law, from now on, please leave this kind of hard work to a useless parasite like me!" Su Lili volunteered.
"Aunt, I can lift it too." Little Qiping raised his hand.
Shen Zhihuan smiled and rubbed Xiao Qiping's chubby face.
A few of them chatted and laughed, and went to buy pork ribs, pig's feet, lean meat and a big carp.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
I also bought two kilograms of peaches and plums that were in season.
As for vegetables, I bought some long-lasting potatoes, pumpkins, onions and cabbages.
Thinking about making noodle soup, Shen Zhihuan bought a few more tomatoes.
Grains are too heavy, so she can only buy them when her team leader Su is free.
By the end of the shopping, Xiao Qiping had a handful of celery and a few onions in his hands.
Only Shen Zhihuan was excluded by several people.
When the three adults and one child returned home, the neighbors saw how they looked and their eyes became complicated.
Only Old Mrs. Wang came forward and greeted her with a smile.
"Big sister, why are you buying so many things?"
As he spoke, his cloudy eyes looked back and forth at the hands of several people.
"We just moved here and we have nothing at home, so we have to buy more." Zhang Fengxia said with a smile.
"Wow! This little guy is so diligent! He even knows how to help grandma carry things." A young wife with a baby in her arms glanced at Shen Zhihuan who had nothing in his hands, and smiled meaningfully.
Little Qiping Baozi blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Shen Zhihuan curled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The ancients were never wrong.
When Zhang Fengxia heard these sarcastic words, the smile on her face froze slightly.
"This fish is really good. It must be about four pounds, right?" Old Mrs. Wang looked at the big carp in Su Lili's hand.
"No, just three pounds and seven ounces." Zhang Fengxia smiled and ignored the young wife who was holding the baby in her arms.
Where are there nooks and crannies that don't have a few of these bugs?! If you ignore her, she won't be able to jump around on her own.
"Sister, you are really generous. You bought pork ribs, pig's feet and fish." Old Mrs. Wang's cloudy eyes were shining.
Rich people are just different.
Who in their area dares to eat and drink like this? ! "My daughter Zhihuan is weak and now she's pregnant. How can I not nourish her well?" Zhang Fengxia chuckled.
"How many months?" Old Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on Shen Zhihuan's flat belly.
No wonder she felt that the little girl's waist was a little thick.
It turns out she is pregnant.
"It's been more than three months." Zhang Fengxia smiled with wrinkles on her face.
In just over six months, she will be able to hold her grandchildren in her arms.
