Chapter 124
After a hundred warm days, the weather gradually became warmer, the willow trees sprouted green buds, the grass also turned green, and it was no longer all white outside.
One day off, Xu Di got up early in the morning and began to pack warm diapers and small clothes. She wanted to take her child back to her parents' home.
"Xiao Di, don't forget to bring the bottle. Nuan Nuan needs some water."
"Got it, Grandma. I've put it in my pocket. We'll be back after lunch, when the bus won't be crowded."
Xu Di put the last thing away and zipped up the bag.
In order to facilitate travel, Xu Di specially bought thick corduroy cloth and made the most common backpack in later generations.
She also made a simple sling that allows Nuannuan to lean her back against her chest with her face facing outwards, so that her hands can be free.
Xu Di carefully thought about baby products in the future before making the mother's backpack and back basket.
"Aunt Wu, please help me tie it."
Xu Di adjusted Nuannuan's position, put the backpack on her, and asked Aunt Wu to hold her and tie her up.
"Aunt Qian, look at how they are tied up, both adults and children are feeling pretty good.
Moreover, the child is on the chest and can be seen, which is safer than on the back. ”
Aunt Wu thought this sling was nice, and she planned to make one herself and bring it back for her daughter.
"Yeah, it's good. Xiaodi is very clever. Look, this bag is convenient to carry."
Grandma Qian has a thick filter for Xu Di and thinks that no matter what she does, it's good.
"Yeah, it's more convenient than carrying a bag."
Aunt Wu and grandma praised her so much that Xu Di felt embarrassed. She just borrowed someone else's idea.
Xu Di went downstairs and attracted a lot of people's attention along the way.
"Chaoyang family, are you going back to your mother's house? The child has grown so big and is doing so well!"
"Go back to my mother's house. It's warm now. Take the kids to visit grandma's house."
Xu Di walked out and people, both familiar and unfamiliar, greeted her.
"Xu Di, where did you buy this backpack? And this bag, it's nice."
"I made this by myself. It's very simple. If you need it, wait for me to come back and take a look at it yourself. You'll understand it at a glance."
This is a colleague of Xu Di. Although they are not in the same office, they are both in the logistics department and meet each other often.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll come to your house when the time comes."
People in the 1970s were still very enthusiastic. No matter if they had anything to do or not, whether they were familiar with each other or not, they would talk to each other when they met, and they would really help if there was any problem.
Xu Di took a bus and arrived at the machinery factory’s staff quarters smoothly.
As soon as I got downstairs, I met Grandma Wang.
"Xu Di is back. This is your child. He's grown so big now, and he's really fat."
"Grandma Wang, you still look strong."
"It's OK. I can eat a big bowl in one meal."
The old lady has a good personality and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good, so she lives a comfortable life.
"That's good, good health is better than anything else.
Grandma Wang, I'm going upstairs first. We'll talk later. ”
Xu Di was afraid that Nuannuan had peed, so he went upstairs without saying a word.
"Hurry up and go up, the child will make a fuss soon."
The old lady waved her hand and told Xu Di to go upstairs quickly.
"Second sister, Nuannuan, come in quickly. Nuannuan, do you miss your uncle?"
Xu Jun heard the sound and hurried over to open the door.
"Are mom and dad home?"
"At home. They know you are coming back, and they are all waiting to see us."
Xu Jun took off the backpack from her second sister, but he didn't know how to untie the backpack.
"Nuan Nuan, this is your first time visiting grandma's house, is that okay?"
Xu's mother came over, helped Xu Di untie the backpack, and took the child over.
"Sister, sister, let me see my sister..."
Ping'an kept shouting that he wanted to see his sister and jogged along with his grandmother.
"Sister-in-law, is the baby coming soon?"
Xu Di looked at her sister-in-law's belly and felt the baby going down.
"It's almost time. The due date is just a few days away."
In the early stages of Xu's pregnancy, she had some unpleasant experiences with her parents' family. During that period, she had a poor appetite and did not eat much.
I don’t know if it was affected, but her belly didn’t get bigger after that.
"It's just right for confinement in this season, neither too cold nor too hot. Nuannuan's diaper didn't like to be dry at that time."
Thinking about the diapers floating in the living room at home, at most, there were more than ten diapers floating there.
"Well, this season is nice."
Mrs. Xu was also happy because she was most afraid of the dog days of summer when she was pregnant because it was so hot that it could kill people.
“Wow…”
Okay, Nuannuan peed.
Xu Di hurried to change her daughter's diaper. She glanced at the time and realized that she would have to feed her again soon.
It was a day off today, so Xu Di slept in and didn’t get up so early.
"My sister stinks, so stinky..."
Ping An was just staying close to his sister, but as soon as his diaper was opened, the little one ran away.
"You were like this when you were a kid, and you even disliked your sister."
"Uncle, you are lying. I am not even going to pee my pants anymore."
Ping An covered his mouth with a look of disbelief.
"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask your grandmother or your mother."
Xu Jun teased his nephew, causing Ping An to scream loudly.
Xu Di changed Nuannuan's diaper skillfully. When she went out today, she wore a set of fine woolen clothes and pants, and underneath she wore a sweater and pants made by Xu Di herself.
I folded a clean diaper and put it on Nuannuan to prevent her from getting her pants wet.
Without the various diapers of later generations, it would still be a bit inconvenient to go out.
Xu's mother had already taken the diapers to wash. She knew that Xiaodi loved cleanliness, so she would wash the child's clothes and diapers immediately if they were wet.
Some lazy people or those who have few diapers just hang them in the sun and use them immediately after they are dry.
In that case, both children and adults will have a smell of urine.
Her granddaughter has a milky scent on her body, which is very pleasant.
"Did Chaoyang call? When will he be able to come back this year?"
"Not necessarily. He can't say for sure. The earliest would be the end of the year."
Xu Di didn't know that after Zhang Chaoyang returned home after the Chinese New Year, his position was promoted and he is now the deputy head of the group.
He was promoted from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander, and he made great contributions during a mission before the New Year. He said that there have been few opportunities for promotion for some time.
"As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. Xu Yong wrote home a while ago, saying everything is fine.
Your second uncle came to deliver some things and said that thanks to Chaoyang, the quotas of other large teams were occupied. ”
Xu Di didn't expect that there are so many shady things in being a soldier nowadays. That’s right, these days, it’s hard to get into university and there are few job opportunities in the city.
With more and more people going to the countryside, joining the army is the best choice.
"My sister-in-law is about to give birth, what should I do with the confinement period?"
"I'll take a few days off. If the birth goes well, I'll be able to get pregnant in a few days.
If it doesn't work, you'll have to ask your grandmother to come and help take care of the child for a few days. ”
There was nothing Xu's mother could do, she couldn't keep taking leave.
“Then ask my grandfather to see if there is a free tractor to deliver it.
My grandma feels better when she is working on the tractor and doesn’t get so carsick. ”
Xu Di is worried about her grandmother, who needs several days to recover from motion sickness.
"I know. Let's talk about it in a few days. Now is the spring ploughing season. I don't know if your grandma can come."
Xu's mother was also worried that her mother-in-law didn't have time. Although the old lady no longer worked, she still had a lot of work to do at home.
Xu Di had lunch at her mother's house, fed Nuannuan, changed her diaper, and prepared to go home.
Xu's mother put a red envelope in the child's pocket, as he couldn't go back to his grandmother's house empty-handed.
Little Nuannuan rubbed her eyes with her hands because she was sleepy.
Xu Jun was worried, so he sent Xu Di and the child back home, and Xu's mother also gave them some side dishes she had made herself.
Little Zhang Chenxi’s first visit to a friend ended just like that.
