Pan Ning put the sleeping little girl back on the bed, went to the living room, and helped Ding Ming clean up the things on the floor.
"These are all what Shushu asked you to bring back, right?" Although it was a question, the tone was full of certainty.
She knew where Ding Ming was going on this business trip, and she had asked her to bring a lot of things to Jian Shu. As a friend of many years, she knew Jian Shu very well and was sure it was something she could do.
After all, even if Ding Ming really wanted to buy something to bring back, he wouldn't buy so much.
"That's right. I'm almost dying of exhaustion carrying so many things back!" Ding Ming cried and complained to his wife.
Pan Ning pushed his face away and said, "Don't give a damn. Shushu and the others definitely walked you to the bus, and someone picked you up when you got off. We took the train all the way here, and I didn't ask you to carry me all the way back. How could I say you were exhausted?"
This man loves exaggeration. Even if he was pricked by a needle, he would describe it as if he had been stabbed with a knife and was about to die. The result? No blood was drawn!
After being married for more than a year, Pan Ning already knew his character very well. How could she be deceived by him?
"Wow, wow, wow - my wife, you don't feel sorry for me. Although I'm not physically tired, I'm mentally tired. I'm carrying so much luggage, and people along the way look at me as if I'm curious." Ding Ming leaned over and sobbed fake tears.
"Come on, you're already a father, aren't you afraid of your children laughing at you?" Pan Ning was helpless. Why did she find such a dramatic guy?
As soon as the child was mentioned, Ding Ming immediately shut up. He had vowed to be a calm and reliable father, so how could he do such a childish thing as pretending to cry?
If Xiaobao knew about this, what would happen to his image?
Silly dad Ding Ming forgot that his daughter is only a few months old and has no memory at all. He is determined to maintain his image of being steady, reliable and adaptable.
Pan Ning had no intention of reminding him at all. He squatted down and started to unpack the package.
"What did Shushu bring? Why so many?" Even though she knew that Jianshu would definitely ask Ding Ming to bring things given his personality, the large size of the things still surprised her.
Ding Ming also came over and squatted beside her. He looked at the bag she opened, which was filled with small packages. "There are quite a lot of things. There are ours, Old Tan's, Comrade Li's, and my sister-in-law's family. There are a lot of things, big and small."
With so many people, even if everyone gave a little, the total amount would not be a small amount. Moreover, Jianshu was very thoughtful and definitely considered the whole family when giving gifts. Everyone, adults and children, got one. In the end, wouldn't there be so much?
After all, there are too many acquaintances, and I can't leave any of them behind. This is really a happy trouble.
Ding Ming introduced the items one by one, "This is for our little treasure. My sister-in-law specially ground the rice flour for him. She said that he can have some complementary food now and doesn't need to drink milk and formula all day. Later, you can slowly add some rice soup, vegetable puree, fruit puree, egg yolk, etc. I can't remember the details, but my sister-in-law wrote you a piece of paper so you can refer to it."
"Rice noodles? Okay, let's make some rice paste and feed it to Xiaobao in a couple of days. Speaking of which, this little girl is really lucky. We didn't have such conditions before. My younger brother was raised on breast milk and rice soup when he was young. He never had milk powder and rice paste." Pan Ning couldn't help but sigh.
These days are getting better and better.
Ding Ming touched her head and felt a little pity in his heart because his wife had suffered a lot in her childhood.
"Put everything away. These rice noodles are enough for Xiaobao to eat for a long time. You can eat some too. I will grind some for you after you finish eating." What his wife didn't have when she was a child, he is giving her now.
Pan Ning couldn't help laughing. "I'm already a grown-up, not a toothless baby. Why should I eat rice noodles?"
"Who says only babies without teeth can eat formula? Anyone who wants to eat it can eat it. My wife can even eat it every day. I can afford it anyway!"
"Okay." Pan Ning smiled and looked at him with gentle eyes.
Put the can of rice noodles on the table aside and continue to guess the next package.
There were a few more cans. Ding Ming continued to introduce them, "These are all milk powder. They're for our Xiaobao and Lele. My sister-in-law wrote their names on them. Please divide them up and don't mix them up. My sister-in-law said that this milk powder can't be taken randomly and should be taken according to age. The rest is cod liver oil, also for the two children. Divide it together and send it to Comrade Li later."
"These little clothes are also for Xiaobao, these books are for my sister-in-law's younger sister, these toys are for my brother-in-law's younger brother, these are for my sister-in-law's family, these are for Lao Tan, these are wolfberry, honey and snow frog that my sister-in-law gave to you female comrades, and these are for the male comrades..."
The ground was divided into several areas after the same introduction and classification. Things for different families were placed together, and the things in the snakeskin bag became less and less.
After distributing the gifts to everyone, the next thing was a large pile of mountain products. Everyone shared these things equally, and each family got a little. It didn’t seem like a lot, but it was enough to eat for a while, especially the mushrooms and black fungus.
There was also a lot of bacon and sausage at the bottom of the bag. Seeing this, Pan Ning was helpless. "Why did Shushu ask you to bring this back? She sent a lot before the New Year, and now she gave you so much more. No matter how much more meat she gave, it wouldn't be enough. It looks like she took out all the stock at home and didn't even think of leaving it for her own consumption."
Those mountain products were fine, as they were local specialties and easier to buy. But meat was different. These days, meat was in short supply everywhere, so it was much rarer.
Ding Ming touched his nose, lowered his head and said nothing.
Pan Ning quickly realized something was wrong. "Why don't you tell me who these things are for? I don't see any names written on them. How are they divided?"
It is unlikely to divide it equally. With so much meat, each family can only get a small piece at most. Add in the sausages, and it is difficult to divide it at all.
"Hehe!" Ding Ming touched his nose and laughed awkwardly, lowering his head and saying embarrassedly, "These things belong to us."
"What?" Pan Ning raised his voice, then raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Ding Ming!"
"Here!" Ding Ming raised his hand reflexively, his whole body shaking. Looking at the expression on his wife's face, he suddenly wanted to cry.
Damn it, my wife is angry.
"Tell me clearly, what did you do? Why did Shushu give so much meat? And only to you?" Pan Ning put his hands on his hips, looking serious.
