When Xu Ning woke up in the morning, Lu Xiaotang had already prepared breakfast.
The old hen that the village chief's wife brought yesterday has also been killed and is being stewed on the stove.
The lines in the yard were still filled with laundry and diapers.
Xu An is carrying water to water the vegetables. The weather is hot now, and the leaves have wilted because he hasn't watered them for a while.
While eating, Lu Xiaotang said to Xu An, "Xiao An, don't go to work today, take care of your sister at home.
I'm going to the city to fetch some coal today. When I'm free, I'll make some coal briquettes for you to use in the winter. ”
Xu Ning also said, "When you go into the city, go visit Grandpa Wang and bring them some food."
Xu An also said, "I picked a lot of beans and eggplants this morning. Let's take them to them! I'll pick some cucumbers and tomatoes later. Grandma Wang likes them."
When Lu Xiaotang left, Xu Ning put some pig's feet and meat, as well as some fine grains, into the basket he brought.
She whispered to him, "Give some of the meat and grain to Grandpa Wang and the others, and bring the rest back."
Lu Xiaotang smiled and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just lie down on the kang and rest. Be sure to cover yourself with a quilt. Don't try to stay cool now."
"I understand. Please drive slowly."
Xu An stewed the chicken in the pot and washed the diapers that the children had just changed.
Xu Ning asked, "Xiao An, you are going to take the exam soon, right?"
"I'll take the exam next Monday, and after that I'll graduate from high school, and I won't have to go to school anymore."
"So do you have any plans?"
Xu An said, "Versace's father is the director of the county's machinery factory. He said he would be recruiting workers in a while and asked me if I wanted to go.
I think it is better to farm here than to work there as a temporary worker. The work points here are high, the food points are quite a lot, and I can get some money every year.
We just don't have many tickets, but our family is not short of tickets. My eldest brother and brother-in-law send back a lot every month, and I can help you take care of the children at home. ”
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Xiao An, after I finish my confinement, I will have no problem taking care of the baby.
Besides, mom and the others will be there in the evening, and Xiao Mo can come and help.
Since you have this opportunity, you should try the machinery factory. Even if you work in the city, you can come back every day.
We are not far from the city, just over 20 minutes by bike. ”
She thought to herself, there are still more than two years before the college entrance examination, and even working as a temporary worker in a factory is better than farming in the countryside.
Xu An thought for a while and said, "Sister, I understand. After I finish the exam, I will ask about the recruitment conditions of the Versace Machinery Factory."
At noon, several aunts in the village who were on good terms with her came to see her and her children. They all praised her for being a good fertility girl, giving birth to three babies in one pregnancy.
Xu Ning was made to feel very embarrassed, and it was Aunt Xiangyun who saw that she was embarrassed.
He laughed and said, "Can you guys not be so blunt? Xu Zhiqing is not as thick-skinned as you guys."
When the aunts saw Xu Ning’s blushing face, they all smiled kindly.
Lu Xiaotang asked Old Chen to help pull back two carts of coal. In the afternoon, he went to the foot of the mountain and got a lot of clay to mix them together.
Xu An went to work. He was alone at home, cooking, washing clothes, taking care of the children, washing diapers for the children, and chopping firewood in the mountains. In short, he was never idle.
Xu Ning advised him to take a rest, but he refused to listen and said he was not tired.
The three children are relatively obedient and don't make much noise at night. The two boys like to howl during the day, and their voices are very loud and can be heard from far away.
My daughter doesn’t cry much, she just hums a few times at most and is very well behaved.
Dad Lu and Dad Xu gave names to the three children. The eldest was named Lu Jinghong, the second was named Lu Jingyan, and the daughter was named Lu Chenxi.
The nicknames were given by Xu Ning, they are called Niupitang. The eldest is Niu Niu, the second is Pi Pi, and the third is Tang Tang.
Lu Xiaotang thought it sounded quite nice and he hugged his daughter and called her "Tangtang, Tangtang" several times.
After hearing this, Mr. Xu and Mr. Lu were silent for a while, looked at each other, and complained in their hearts, isn't this nickname too perfunctory?
Who would name their child Niupi Tang? Fortunately, she was not allowed to choose the name, otherwise I would not know what to name the child.
But they were tactful enough not to say anything, for fear that she would change her name.
