Chapter 102
After hanging up the phone, Xu Di was also happy for Xu Yong.
They are more than one year apart in age and were raised by their grandmother, so their relationship is no different from that of real siblings.
Xu Yong is of a more calm temperament, unlike her, who has been naughty since childhood.
When he was a child in the village, Xu Di was always busy and wandered around the village.
Sometimes when I have conflicts with my friends, I might even hit them.
Xu Yong never fights himself. He always goes to help when Xu Di fights with others.
The two did not separate until Xu Di returned to the city to study. At that time, other children of his second uncle and second aunt were born one after another. Xu Yong was busy taking care of his younger brothers and sisters and had no time to go to the city to play with his cousin.
Xu Di has some memories and feels that he lived a very happy childhood.
"Xiao Di, what are you thinking about, grinning foolishly by yourself?"
"Grandma, my cousin has received a notice of enlistment. I remember when I was a kid, I was naughty and always fought with the kids in the village.
Xu Yong is an honest man. Every time he sees me fighting, he comes to help me. If he is not careful, he will get hit a few times. ”
As Grandma Qian listened to what Xu Di said, related images appeared in her mind.
The children in the Xu family all have a good relationship with each other, unlike Chaoyang and his friends, who are brothers and sisters, but they don’t get along as well as ordinary people.
"It's good. Joining the army is hard, but it's really a training exercise."
"Well, it's better than earning work points in the team.
There is no way out in the village. When you reach a certain age, you get married and have children early, and your life is basically over. ”
"Who says it's not true? People in rural areas get married early. Even if they haven't reached the legal age and can't get a marriage certificate, as long as they have a wedding banquet, it counts."
Grandma Qian also came from the countryside. Isn’t she herself an example?
I got married at the age of seventeen and had a child at the age of eighteen.
"Grandma, in the countryside, people don't usually get a marriage certificate."
In Grandpa Xu Di’s team, weddings are considered done as long as the wedding banquet is held, and few people go out of their way to get a marriage certificate.
“That’s right, many current laws and regulations are not properly publicized.
The more remote the place, the more ignorant the people are. ”
Grandma Qian was speaking from inspiration, she had seen too much.
"Grandma, my second uncle and Xu Yong will be coming tomorrow to deliver the baby's crib and stroller, which my grandfather had made.
When they arrived, they asked Xu Yong to call me. ”
“Okay, I understand.
I'll ask your Aunt Wu to cook more dishes and invite your second uncle and cousin to have dinner. ”
Grandma Qian knew that Xu Di had a good relationship with his grandparents, and it seemed that he also had a good relationship with his second uncle's family.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work Aunt Wu."
The time was almost up, Xu Di held his waist and went back to his room.
After my belly got bigger, it became uncomfortable neither lying down nor sitting.
Touching her big belly and feeling the baby's fetal movement, at this moment, Xu Di felt that it was worth it.
Decades later, many people do not get married or have children, thinking that having children is useless, stressful and troublesome, and it is better to keep a pet.
Raising children is a huge responsibility and there is really no freedom at all. You will be tied down for at least twenty years.
It’s different with pets. If you don’t like them anymore, you can just abandon them.
At that time, wasn’t that how the stray cats and dogs in the neighborhoods and streets came about?
But Xu Di likes children.
In my previous life, I gave birth to a son.
Although she raised the child alone, playing the role of both father and mother, which was really tiring and frustrating, she did not regret it because she just loved children.
Xu Di fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, when Uncle Xu and Xu Yong arrived, Xu Di had not yet finished get off work.
They didn't come by car because it was difficult to put the bed and the stroller in the car.
They hired a tractor from the brigade to bring them here, with a child's bed, a rocking car, a wooden horse, Grandma Xu's newly dried vegetables, pickled duck eggs, pumpkins left over from the fall, sunflowers they grew themselves, and sticky bean buns they made themselves...
The Xu family has a large homestead, a large vegetable garden, and a private plot of land. Grandma Xu doesn't work, so she grows a lot of vegetables and various kinds of rice and beans.
The father and son had only been to Xu Di's house once, when they got married.
I don't remember how I got there.
Xu Yong called Xu Jun and asked him to lead the way.
"Brother Yong, are you really going to join the army?"
"Well, we'll gather at the Armed Forces Department the day after tomorrow."
Xu Jun looked envious as he still had three more years to graduate from high school.
Moreover, even after graduation, I don’t know whether I can join the army.
"I also want to join the army, but I don't know if I can be selected."
"There are still more than three years left. We'll talk about it then. It's too early to say anything now."
"Too."
Xu Jun sighed and said let's talk about it after he graduates from high school.
Xu Jun pointed the way, and soon the tractor arrived at the compound where Xu Di lived.
"Uncle, you and Brother Yong move the things downstairs. I'll go register."
Xu Jun came here so many times that the old men at the door all knew him.
If three people move together, they can finish the move in two trips.
“Grandma Qian, my second uncle and cousin.
Second uncle, cousin, this is my brother-in-law’s grandmother. ”
Xu Jun was afraid that the two parties would not recognize each other, so he quickly introduced them.
"Uncle Xiaodi, come in quickly, Xu Yong, come in quickly.
Xiaojun, go call your sister. ”
"Got it, Grandma Qian, I'll go right away."
Xu Yong also wanted to talk to his cousin before leaving, so he didn't stop her. He and his father ran again to move all the things upstairs.
"Hey, why did grandma-in-law take so many things?"
“Aunt, my mother is very carsick, otherwise, she would have come to see Xiao Di a long time ago.
These things are all grown at home. They are not worth much, but Xiaodi likes to eat them. ”
Uncle Xu was a little reserved. He felt that Xu Di’s house was too big and too clean.
“The love that an old person has for their children cannot be measured by money.
Looking at these, Xiaodi felt happy. ”
Xu Di first went to the tailor shop and brought back the finished cotton-padded jacket before entering the house with Xu Jun.
"Uncle, Xiaoyong, thank you for your hard work."
"Sister, I'm going to join the army. If you have any problems in the future, let my dad help you."
Xu Yong looked at his cousin. Her belly had become very big and she looked like a mother.
"Okay, then don't worry about me. Don't be too naive when you get to the army, and don't let yourself be bullied."
"I know. I'm old enough to be bullied. That was all when I was a kid."
Xu Yong recalled that when he was a child, he was bullied and it was his sister who avenged him.
"I'm just worried about you. You've only grown in height, but not in wisdom."
Xu Yong smiled. He had grown up now and would not rely on his sister to protect him anymore.
Grandma Qian and Xu Di invited Uncle Er and Xu Yong to stay for dinner and refused to let them leave no matter what.
After dinner, Xu Di took out the cotton coat she had just retrieved and took out the bill for her grandparents.
"Uncle, this is the cotton-padded jacket I made for my grandparents. Take it back with you.
Tell grandma that I made this for her, don’t let anyone fool you again.
Also, this is a cotton-padded jacket that I can’t wear. I asked my second aunt to alter it and give it to Xu Jia. ”
Xu Di packed up the things and asked her second uncle to take them back, as she had no way to go back.
"I see. The things you bought for me, your grandmother never gave to your aunt."
Uncle Xu was helpless with his only sister.
Grandma Qian also packed up some food and daily necessities as a return gift to Grandma Xiaodi.
Uncle Xu came here in the brigade's tractor and couldn't stay for long, so he asked Xu Di to call the brigade headquarters if he had any problems. He and Xu Yong packed their things and prepared to go back.
Xu Di saw his second uncle and others off and went back to work.
