Chapter 111
Grandma Xu came here despite the biting cold wind because she was worried about Xiaodi.
Now, looking at her slightly chubby granddaughter and the fair and chubby Nuannuan, Grandma Xu feels relieved.
I originally thought that since Chaoyang was not at home and Xiaodi was alone with her big belly, she would be in a bad mood.
Unexpectedly, this child is open-minded and does not push himself into a narrow path.
"Seeing that you are doing well, grandma is relieved. Our Xiaodi is thoughtful and doesn't make things difficult for herself. That's great!"
"Grandma, before I got married, I had already imagined the life of a military wife and was mentally prepared.
Although Chaoyang was not at home, he sent back all the wages and bills.
I feel proud that he is defending his country. My current life is incomparable to many people, really! ”
Xu Di's life now is much better than expected. The man earns money to support the family, and there is grandma who gets along well with him, and Aunt Wu, who has a good personality, takes care of everything.
She doesn't have to take care of housework, there won't be any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, and there will be someone to help take care of the children in the future. Such a life may not be available even decades later.
"What you said is true, but the only drawback is that men are not at home all year round."
“Grandma, life is not perfect, just choose what you care more about.
Besides, Chaoyang will come back when he has holidays. ”
Xu Di is now enjoying the days when her husband is not at home and earns money for her to spend.
"Okay, just think positively, being happy is the most important thing.
It's good that Chaoyang is working outside and you take care of the elderly and children at home. ”
Grandma Xu and her generation have suffered a lot and have very low demands on life.
"Don't worry, grandma. I will make sure I live a good life."
"Grandma believes that our Xiaodi has been able to figure out many things since he was young and find a way to live a happy life."
Grandma Xu thought of Xu Di when he was a child, and he also cried and called for his mother.
Every time her parents came and went, she would cry bitterly.
I forgot whether it was when she was three or four years old, but she went back to the city once. I don’t know what happened, but she came back with swollen eyes from crying.
Since then, she no longer cried for her parents, and I didn't want to go to the city anymore.
It was time to go to school, but she kept putting it off year after year. When she couldn't put it off any longer, she went back to the city to go to school when she was eight or nine years old.
As soon as the holiday came, she would pack up her things and come back, not staying for a day longer.
Grandma Xu guessed that Xu Mei might have said or done something. Xu Di never said anything, and she still doesn't know what happened.
Until now, the relationship between Xu Di and Xu Mei is just average. They don't get along as well as other sisters, which doesn't seem natural at all.
“Wow…”
Nuannuan's earth-shaking cry interrupted the conversation between Xu Di and his grandmother.
"Look, this child has been crying so loudly since he was born."
Grandma Xu quickly opened the quilt and urinated.
After changing the clean diaper, Xu Di picked up her daughter again and fed her.
Grandma Xu came out with a basin to wash the diapers.
Xu Jun saw his grandmother coming out of his second sister's room carrying a basin, and heard Nuannuan crying again, knowing that she had urinated again.
"Grandma, let me tell you how to use the toilet stuff."
People in the countryside use well water, there is no tap water. Grandma Xu rarely goes into the city, so she really doesn’t know how to use it.
Xu Jun taught his grandmother how to use the faucet, which was the soap for washing diapers, and how to rinse them several times with water.
Xu Jun had some deviations in practice, but his theoretical knowledge was very good and he knew how to wash diapers.
Diapers washed, lunch ready.
Grandma Qian and Aunt Wu prepared a sumptuous lunch including meat, vegetables, seafood, and a bottle of good wine.
Grandpa Xu drank a small cup himself, and then Xu Jun sent his grandfather back to his home.
Grandma Xu will stay here to take care of Xu Di for a few days, and let Grandpa Xu go to live with his eldest son for a few days, and Xu Jun will accompany him.
After Grandpa Xu and Xu Jun left, Grandma Xu replaced Grandma Qian and stayed with Xu Di in her room.
At night, Nuannuan woke up only once, changed her diaper, fed her, and then continued to sleep soundly.
This went on for two days in a row, with Grandma Xu and Grandma Qian talking about Xu Di's childhood.
"Nuannuan is really worry-free. When Xiaodi was a child, she was not as worry-free as her daughter.
She is not even a month old yet, her mother has no milk, she has an older sister who is one or two years younger than her, and a brother who is not sensible yet.
It's been more than ten days, and he's still yellow and thin.
I didn’t buy much milk powder, so I just mixed it with rice soup.
When I saw it, I knew this wasn’t going to work. If this continued, I wouldn’t be able to support the child.
I packed my things and took her back to the countryside. At that time, some people in the village raised sheep, and our family also had one.
Boil goat's milk for her, she's a skinny little child. The sound of crying is like the humming of a mosquito.
I don’t know if it was because he knew he was separated from his mother or because he didn’t eat well, but he cried several times throughout the night. It was really tiring.
Unexpectedly, Nuannuan is so considerate and takes such good care of her mother, waking up only once a night. ”
Grandma Xu still feels scared when she thinks of Xu Di’s childhood. He is really hard to comfort.
Grandma stayed at Xu Di's house for four days. Just then, the brigade's tractor came into the city to do some business, and Uncle Xu asked them if they wanted to go back.
"Xiao Di, the brigade's tractor has come to the city, so your grandfather and I are going back in a tractor.
When the weather gets warmer, you can take Nuannuan back to the village and stay there for a few days.
Grandma, I feel relieved when I see that you are fine in every way. Just like that, don’t think about those unhappy things and live happily every day. ”
Grandma Xu gave a few final instructions and left with Xu Jun, who had come to pick her up.
Grandma Qian prepared a lot of food and daily necessities, all of which were things that were hard to get tickets for in the village.
Grandma Xu brought four big pig's trotters, five or six pounds of pork, twenty eggs and an old hen.
Grandma Qian felt that they really cared about Xiaodi and Nuannuan, and didn’t feel bad about taking anything.
Xu Di was a little reluctant to see her grandmother go, but she knew that she shouldn't be sad during the confinement period, so she adjusted herself and got over it.
It has been half a month and Xu Di has basically recovered.
But grandma said that I must observe the full confinement period and not be careless, otherwise I might get sick when I get old.
Listen to advice and eat your fill.
Xu Di feels that the customs passed down by the older generation have some truth to them.
The main thing was that it was winter and the house was not hot, so she didn't sweat and could still bear it.
Grandma Qian went to the hospital to buy mugwort and boiled a pot of mugwort water. Xu Di finally washed his hair.
As for the rest, she just needs to endure it and wait until the full moon, then she will go to the bathhouse to have a good soak.
Xu Di was happily confining to her home after giving birth, and Zhang Chaoyang, who had completed his mission, was also not far from home.
"Captain, my wife should have given birth by now. I'm applying for leave to go back and see my wife and children, and then I'll return to the military region after the New Year."
Zhang Chaoyang came out with their regiment commander this time, and this mission was a joint effort of several military regions.
It took more than two months to complete it successfully.
"Okay, I approve it. You haven't taken your vacation this year yet, so we can take it together."
The regiment commander thought about the difficulties faced by his soldiers and approved Zhang Chaoyang's leave.
Zhang Chaoyang wrote a leave application, which was approved by the group leader. With all the formalities completed, Zhang Chaoyang didn't even have time to pack up and hurriedly bought a ticket home.
He didn't know how Xu Di was doing, whether she gave birth smoothly, and whether it was a boy or a girl.
Just as I was thinking about this and that, I got on the train back home. In just over ten hours, I would be able to see my wife and children. How great!
