On the third day, Su Xia didn't get up early, it was almost nine o'clock. Yesterday, Chen's mother came over and said that she could just bring Niuniu over for lunch today.
There is no need to stay up there to eat dumplings in the evening.
Su Xia was also happy, because she couldn't stay up late now, so she went to bed early when she came back at night. Whoever could keep watch could do it, she wouldn't make a difference.
By the way, I woke Niuniu up as well, "Wake up, lazy bug, you still have to go to grandma's house later."
Niu Niu, who was woken up, pouted and didn't want to move.
"Mom, what's up? I still want to sleep."
"Why are you sleeping? If you sleep any longer you'll be like a pig. It's New Year's Day today. Have you forgotten what your grandma said yesterday?
We all have lunch together at noon. ”
Niuniu didn't respond this time, and it was Chinese New Year today.
Then he quickly put on his clothes and pants and said, "Mom, I don't need the New Year's money anymore..."
Mom, where are my clothes? ”
Su Xia had no choice but to give her her clothes. She didn't have to wear new ones. The one-piece cotton coat she had before looked good enough.
Su Xia was also wearing the plush pajamas she had modified herself. There was no other way; she could only wear them with her big belly.
While Niuniu was washing up, Su Xia found a basket and put 10 eggs and a 15-pound fish that had been frozen in it. She also cut half of the leeks she had grown and dug up two handfuls of onions.
Seeing that there was not enough, I put 10 more oil-dregs buns in.
Then he took out the Lei Feng hat prepared for Chen's father. It was made of cotton and had a military green outside. It looked like the hat worn by soldiers in the army.
Chen's mother had a woolen hat that she hadn't worn for many years, and it happened to be gray.
Su Xia also knitted two wool scarves, one made by Chen's father, which was black and matched perfectly with the Lei Feng hat.
Chen's mother's gray and beige beard just happened to look like a set of gray woolen hats.
After Su Xia had packed everything.
Niu Niu has been waiting to have her hair combed.
"Okay, stop pushing me. What style do you want tomorrow?"
Niuniu thought for a while and said, "Mom, how about braiding my hair into two braids and then making a ball?"
The corners of Su Xia's mouth twitched. How could this be described?
Isn't it just two Nezha's pigtails? Just braid the braids and then make the pigtails.
After a simple finishing touch, the two sides of the necklace were hung with Nezha-style red ropes and fastened with white clips.
"Well, go look in the mirror."
Niu Niu ran out happily to look in the mirror.
Su Xia washed her face and brushed her teeth, applied facial cream and sunscreen, and finally gave herself a bun, leaving only two strands of hair.
Then they put on their hats and gloves, and went to the old house with the basket and the packages.
After going out, Niu Niu ran away by herself.
Su Xia followed slowly behind with something in her hand.
"Grandpa and grandma, Niuniu is here to bring some gifts..."
Everyone who was busy in the kitchen burst into laughter.
Chen's father, Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun, who were chatting in the room, also couldn't stop laughing.
"Dad, if my brother knew his daughter gave him such a gift, he would definitely cry."
Ha ha.....
When Chen Jianjun's father joked with him, he couldn't understand why his elder brother, who was such a reserved and sultry man, gave birth to such a cute and lively daughter, Niuniu.
Father Chen also stopped teasing, "Okay, you are a younger brother, why are you making fun of your older brother."
In fact, the one who felt the most embarrassed was my mother Su Xia who was following behind me.
But when he walked in front of the kitchen door, he seemed to be fine.
When I went in, I saw Chen's mother taking off Niu Niu's hat. The intimacy between them was really unbearable.
"Mom, this is for you, as an extra dish for lunch."
"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!" Xia Laidi, Liu Chunxia, and Su Xia greeted.
Liu Chunxia was even more considerate and moved a chair for Su Xia to sit on.
"Sister-in-law, just take a rest. Where are we?"
Xia Lai Di looked at her third sister-in-law with hatred. How could she have gotten there first? It was all her fault for being curious about what was in the basket.
"What are you doing? Get to work. I won't eat lunch."
After yelling at her two daughters-in-law, Mother Chen turned around and said to Su Xia with a smile on her face, "Old lady, you should take a good rest here. Go lie down in the room later. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
To be honest, anyone would feel uncomfortable with this kind of differential treatment, but Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia have already gotten used to it.
Who told them not to get pregnant?
After the autumn harvest, the two of them would pester their men every night, but now there is no movement.
It made both of them almost exhausted.
Since Su Xia became pregnant, she has gotten used to Chen's mother's enthusiasm, and she feels at ease in front of her two younger siblings.
"Oh, mom, here's a fish. I bought it when I saw it in the county town. There are also eggs.
Can you guys fill in the dish? ”
When Chen's mother heard about the fish, she excitedly opened the basket and saw that there was really a big fish lying in it.
"That's great. Every year there is a surplus, and this year I finally caught up."
"Old San's, stew this and add some vermicelli and potatoes or something."
"Hey, mom, I'll start now. The fish my sister-in-law brought is really big, almost six pounds."
"My sister-in-law is awesome!"
Su Xia waved her head and said, "Third sister-in-law, I've seen your skills. I've heard that you cook the most delicious fish!"
Liu Chunxia agreed happily. She really had this.
"Sister-in-law, just wait and eat."
Then he called his second sister-in-law and started working.
"Old man, let's go to the house and lie down for a while."
Su Xia was relieved when she saw the kid playing with Daya and the others in the yard.
After following Chen's mother into the house, he lay down on the kang, and found a comfortable position.
Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun in the room had already returned to their own rooms. His sister-in-law was lying down, and his uncle was not in a convenient position.
Even Father Chen had to find a stool and sit against the wall!
Su Xia remembered the things she brought for Chen's father and mother.
He took the package, opened it and took out the things inside. "Mom and Dad, this is for you. The hat and the scarf, I made them myself."
Chen's mother took it, touched the wool, and said it was so beautifully knitted. She then threw Chen's father's Lei Feng cap over to her.
"Here you go. I've been thinking about it for so long. Now I'm going to take it with me."
hey-hey.....
Father Chen didn't go up either. He took it with a smile and put it on his head. It fit perfectly and was warm.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Father Chen put on a hat and scarf and went out to show off.
Chen's mother complained to Su Xia in a bad mood: "He must have gone out to show off."
Su Xia was also happy watching this and could already hear the exclamations of the second and third brothers in the yard!
"Mom, as long as Dad is happy, it's fine. He has been fetching water for me every day for so long, it's so hard. This is nothing, just make him happy!"
Mother Chen stopped talking, she also knew that the old family had a lot of good things.
"Mom, if you need some time, can you help me make two pieces of clothing? I'm not very good at this."
Su Xia really couldn't find clothes for a newborn baby, but she was fine with everything else. She could ask Chen's mother for this.
Although she has a lot in her space, she still has to keep two items out in the open.
Mother Chen happily responded: "Sure, why not? I was thinking of making two sets of clothes."
"Okay, I'll bring that piece of fine cotton back to you later."
"No, wait until my time is over, then just stay at home and don't run back and forth."
Mother Chen was worried, and thought that she had to go and stay with the baby when the birth was about to begin, otherwise she would have to be alone.
Su Xia didn't refuse, and she didn't want to go back and forth.
When it was time to eat, the adults sat at one table and the children sat at a separate table. The children were one year older and could eat by themselves.
Su Xia looked at the stewed pork belly with sauerkraut and vermicelli, a pot of stewed fish with potatoes and vermicelli, and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks on the table. This was the most popular.
They also stir-fried cabbage, but I couldn't tell it was stir-fried. The vegetables should have been dried in the sun.
Su Xia saw that there were already six dishes including the pickles.
This is much more abundant than last year.
Father Chen looked at the dishes on the table happily and said, "Eat them all, and don't talk so much. Just help your sister-in-law from now on."
Mother Chen followed up by saying, "Sui, this rain, and the eggs and leeks were all brought by your sister-in-law. Second and third sons, your eldest brother is not here, so you should run more!"
Chen's father and mother don't want their two sons to become ungrateful people who only enjoy themselves but don't remember good things.
"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, we will definitely not forget it.
Right, right....
Sister-in-law, from now on, just tell me if you have anything to say.
Yes, sister-in-law, if you have any questions, just tell my sister-in-law and me. We can do anything.
....."
Su Xia looked at Xia Laidi who was patting her chest and felt like an orangutan in the zoo.
Finally, the whole family finished their meal happily and chatted for a while, and then Su Xia took Niuniu back home.
