After dinner, Jianshu did not go to the courtyard again, but took the bus back directly.
After returning home, Jianshu started packing up. There were quite a lot of things at home, and it was a big project to pack them up.
The furniture was originally in the house. The main things that needed to be taken away were clothes and bedding for the family of three, as well as some daily necessities, pots, pans, etc. The valuables included a bicycle and a radio.
There were also two cans of malted milk, a bag of Bright brand milk powder, and two cans of meat in the kitchen cabinet.
There is a bottle of malted milk that has been opened. Jianshu has never drunk it before and is a little curious about what it tastes like. Malted milk is used as a nutritional supplement in this day and age.
I boiled a kettle of water in my space and prepared to make a cup to try.
After brewing, it smells like a mixture of cocoa, malt, milk and other aromas. It tastes rich in milk and is sweet and delicious.
He scooped a spoonful from the can with a spoon and put it in his mouth to chew dry. It tasted rich and fragrant, and Jianshu preferred to eat it this way.
After eating, we continued to work. After a few hours, we finally finished cleaning up.
A pile of luggage on the ground is quite impressive, but a bit unsightly.
Although Jianshu has enough space, it is not easy to put these things in it. After all, you still have to have a clear way to get around. It would be too suspicious if you don’t have some things at home.
Fortunately, Zhao Mingze helped to deliver it, otherwise she would be exhausted to death if she relied on herself.
The bedding and clothes on Jianshu's bed have not been put away yet. After all, they will be needed tonight. I have to get up early tomorrow to pack them. I have an appointment with Uncle Zhao at 7 o'clock in the evening. I don't want to keep him waiting for too long as they are all very busy.
Jianshu cleaned the entire house inside and out again. He couldn't leave a mess for the troops, so he had to keep it clean.
When everything was over, it was already five o'clock, and it was time for dinner.
He took out the braised pork that he had packed for lunch from the space, put half of it in a bowl, and prepared to take it next door to add a dish to the Zhao family.
Although the restaurant's braised pork costs 80 cents, the portion is still very generous and no ticket is required. Jianshu thinks it is still a good deal. It's just that it is limited and not easy to buy.
Zhao Mingze's house is right next to Jian's, and the two families are neighbors.
I walked to the next door and knocked on the door. After a while, I saw a little girl coming over and opening the door.
The little girl was very happy to see Jianshu, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu, you are here, come in and sit down."
The little girl is Zhao Mingze's daughter. Her name is Zhao Yueling. She is twelve years old and is in the first grade of junior high school.
I have been a follower of Jianshu since I was a child, following her around every day, calling her "Sister Shu" all the time.
Jianshu walked in and handed her the bowl. He smiled and asked, "Lingling, school's over. Are your uncle and aunt still here? I went to the state-owned restaurant and packed up some braised pork for you guys to have as a snack. Why don't I see Ruirui? Where did he go to play?"
Zhao Yueling was not polite to Jian Shu. The two families had a very good relationship. When Jian Yucheng and Qiao Ling were not around when Jian Shu was a child, he often stayed at the Zhao family's house.
Later, after Qiao Ling passed away, the father and daughter didn't know how to cook and had to eat in the cafeteria, so they often went to Zhao's house to eat.
Ruirui's full name is Zhao Tianrui. He is Zhao Mingze's youngest son. He just turned five this year. His family is busy, so Jianshu and Zhao Yueling usually help take care of him. They have raised him since he was a child and are very close to him.
Zhao Mingze and his wife Meng Ying have two sons and one daughter. In addition to Zhao Yueling and Zhao Tianrui, they also have an eldest son, Zhao Tianlei.
Zhao Tianlei, 20, followed in his father's footsteps after graduating from high school and has been in the army for two years. Because he's new to the military, he hasn't been home for the past two years, but this year he's back for the Lunar New Year.
Zhao Yueling took the bowl and walked towards the kitchen, saying as she walked, "Ruirui is in his room. Yesterday, he was playing slingshot shooting birds with other children and broke the glass in Uncle Zhang's house. He got beaten by his father in the evening, and today he was punished to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes."
Speak of the devil, Jian Shu saw a dark shadow rushing out of the room, flying towards her like a cannonball and hugging her legs.
Zhao Tianrui's sweet little voice rang out: "Sister Shushu, what have you been doing these days? I haven't seen you for a long time. Ruirui misses you so much!"
Jian Shu laughed happily: "It hasn't been a long time, didn't we just see each other a few days ago?"
Zhao Tianrui reached out to Jianshu for a hug: "One day without seeing you is like three autumns. Ruirui hasn't seen you for several days, which is like many autumns!"
Jian Shu's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "That's called a day without seeing you, it feels like three years. Ruirui, where did you hear that?"
The child is only five years old and has not yet started school. No one at home has taught him.
Zhao Tianrui said innocently, "It was just a few days ago when we were playing hide-and-seek. I was hiding in the woods and heard Brother Dadong say that to Sister Xiaoyi. Sister Xiaoyi blushed when she heard it."
Dadong and Xiaoyi are also from the compound. The two families got engaged some time ago and are planning to get married at the end of the year.
It seems that an engaged couple was talking sweetly to each other, but they didn't expect that the little thing heard it.
Jian Shu picked up Zhao Tianrui and asked, "Are you the only one who heard it? Does anyone else know?"
Zhao Tianrui took credit for it, saying, "I was the only one who heard it. I only told Sister Shushu, and Mom and Dad haven't told them yet!"
"Then this is the little secret between my sister and Ruirui. Ruirui must remember to keep it a secret!" Jianshu reminded. Nowadays, even couples have to keep a distance when walking on the street. It is not good for an unmarried couple to spread such a thing.
Zhao Tianrui nodded happily: "Yeah, this is a little secret between my sister and me, and we won't tell anyone." Ruirui was very happy to have a little secret with his sister.
Jianshu took out a handful of White Rabbit cigarettes from his pocket, which he had taken out from his space before going out.
Handed it to Zhao Tianrui: "Sister Shushu brought you some candy. Share it with your sister later."
Zhao Tianrui's hands were too small to hold the bowl. At this time, Zhao Yueling came out of the kitchen and returned the bowl to Jianshu.
Jianshu gave her all the remaining candies and asked her to distribute them. She could only give Zhao Tianrui one candy a day to prevent the child from losing control and damaging his teeth.
We chatted for a while and played games with Zhao Tianrui.
"Lingling, Ruirui, I'm going back first. It's time for dinner." Jianshu took the bowl and stood up to say goodbye.
It was getting late, so Zhao Yueling didn't try to keep Jianshu. She sent Jianshu to the door, and after seeing Jianshu arrive home, she turned around and went in.
After returning home, Jianshu took out two steamed buns, steamed fish and the remaining braised pork for dinner. After being tired after an afternoon of work, he ate everything without leaving any.
After washing the dishes, I went to my space on Jianshu. Although the weather has started to get colder, I was tired all day and sweated a lot, so I needed to take a good bath to relax.
It was already past eight o'clock when Jianshu came out of the space. Thinking that he had to get up early the next day, he went to bed early and fell asleep quickly.
