Chapter 133
In July, Xu Di brought sweet apricots home for a few days. The fruits in the space tasted much better than those outside.
In this season, northern fruits such as plums and apricots are still relatively common.
Not to mention in the countryside, many families have one or two fruit trees in their yards. Even in the city, some large courtyards or quadrangles have a few fruit trees.
The difference is whether the fruit tastes good or bad.
There is an apricot tree in Xu Di's space, and it bears a lot of fruits.
Taking advantage of the season, Xu Di really took out a lot of things.
She gave some to Aunt Wang's house, her mother's family, and her colleagues at work.
We didn't dare deliver them at the same time, we delivered them one after another so that no one would know about them and it wouldn't attract attention.
In August, the apricots are gone and the watermelons are in.
Nuannuan is almost eight months old, and Xu Di slowly added complementary food to her diet.
Egg yolks, carrot puree, potato puree, fruit puree, in short, all kinds of puree.
Nuannuan has a strong appetite and is not picky about food. She eats whatever you give her and is not so dependent on breast milk anymore.
When her daughter Xu Di had something wrong, she was able to drink milk powder. She didn’t like it, but she wouldn’t let herself go hungry.
Nuannuan is now a four-legged animal. She likes to use her hands and feet and crawl very fast.
During the day, Xu Di went to work. After grandma and Aunt Wu finished cleaning up, they carried Nuannuan downstairs to bask in the sun.
Xu Di didn’t know if there were any special baby strollers at that time, but she didn’t see any in the department store.
I heard that the Friendship Store has it, it’s imported and the price is quite high.
Unfortunately, Xu Di did not have foreign exchange coupons, nor did he have to ask for help from his grandmother, so there was no need.
She found time and took her children back to her grandmother's home in the countryside.
Nuannuan went back when she was more than seven months old. Xu Jun followed her and helped to carry things.
Grandma Xu went back home after Mrs. Xu was one month old because she was not used to life in the city.
When Nuannuan arrived in the countryside, she became everyone's favorite. The three younger brothers and sisters from her second uncle's family, as well as Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, and her second uncle and aunt, all surrounded this fat baby Nuannuan, and Xu Di couldn't even get close to her.
"Grandpa, I want the carpenter in the brigade to make me a small cart."
"What kind of stroller is this? Is it for Nuan Nuan to learn to walk?"
In rural areas, some families will make simple carts for their children, with a frame and four wooden wheels, which children can push.
“No, it’s a stroller that the child can sit in and the adult can push from behind.
Nuannuan weighs more than ten pounds now, and it’s too heavy to hold her. She’s not at home, so you want to go out. I was thinking about making a small cart like this. ”
Xu Di showed his grandfather the simple diagram he had drawn and asked him to help with some advice.
"Well, it doesn't look difficult, but it's a little troublesome. Also, the wood used for this wheel is not suitable, it's not strong."
"I found a few iron wheels at the scrapyard and will put them on when the time comes."
Xu Di took out a few bowl-sized wheels from her pocket, which she had found from the recycling station.
Speaking of the recycling station, Xu Di went there several times, but there was nothing valuable there. Except for some textbooks and extracurricular books, he really didn't find anything valuable.
There were no yellow croakers, antiques, calligraphy or paintings, just some junk.
"These wheels are good. Come with me to the carpenter's house and tell him how to make them.
When it’s done, let Xu Qiang send it to you. It’s hot, don’t bring the children back yet, the bus is too crowded. ”
Grandpa Xu thought about Nuan Nuan, who was like a glutinous rice ball, and felt uncomfortable after hanging around in the stuffy bus for more than an hour.
"Yeah, I understand, Grandpa."
In this way, Zhang Chenxi had a special baby stroller.
Although it was a bit bulky, it freed up Grandma and Aunt Wu's hands.
Nuannuan likes it too. It’s hot and she has quite a bit of flesh on her body, so it’s really uncomfortable to hug her.
With this stroller, Xu Di feels relieved and no longer worries about tiring her grandmother.
There is still no news about Zhang Chaoyang, but Xu Di firmly believes that no news is good news.
Compared to Xu Di's leisurely and comfortable life, Zhang's mother's life is in dire straits.
Zhang Chaoheng started working. His workplace was far away, so he lived in the workplace's dormitory and could only go home on weekends.
Zhang's mother was fully responsible for Zhang Xuanhe's affairs. She would prepare meals in the morning, send him to the nursery, and then go to work herself.
In the evening, I picked up Xuan He and went home to cook dinner. After dinner and cleaning up the dishes, I have to do the laundry and clean up, and I am busy until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Xuan He is relatively sensible, but no matter how sensible he is, he is still a child. His clothes will get dirty and his shoes will get wet. A four-year-old child has a lot of things to do.
Zhang's mother is also in her forties. Since Zhang Chaoheng started elementary school, she hasn't been so busy and tired for a long time.
In addition to work, there are endless things to do every day. She is so tired that she can't even straighten her back. She has never suffered such hardship in her forty-plus years of life.
In the past, when the children were young, Chaoyang lived with their grandmother, and she took care of the other three by herself.
I was young at that time and didn’t feel so tired.
The main reason is that she doesn’t cook much and eats in the cafeteria most of the time.
Now, although she only has one child, she no longer has the physical strength and does not like to eat in the cafeteria, so she has to cook for herself.
Zhang Peng is a person who doesn't care about anything. She suffers all the hardships alone.
Chaoru got married and was found out to be pregnant a while ago. She was demobilized and assigned to the logistics department of a military hospital.
The work has become easier, but I can't help her much. On the contrary, she still needs her mother to take care of her.
Chao Heng can lend a hand and help look after Xuan He during the holidays, but even when he is resting, he cannot help but go out and make friends and look for a partner!
Oh, really, I’m so old, why do I still have to worry about these things?
Mother Zhang sighed, wrung out the clothes, and planned to take them downstairs to dry in the sun.
Take a break today, there are many things to do.
I don’t know if it was because I was dizzy from the heat, or because I was lost in thought, but I missed a step and rolled down the stairs.
"ah……"
Zhang's mother's scream not only alarmed Zhang's father who was playing with Xuan He in the room, but also the neighbors upstairs and downstairs heard it.
It was a holiday and every household had people inside, and when they heard the miserable cries, they all came out.
"Zhou Hong, what happened? Did you fall down?"
"Chief Zhang, please take a quick look. Zhou Hong must have broken her leg and is afraid to move."
The neighbor's sister-in-law who came over first took a look and saw that Zhou Hong had fallen quite badly.
"Everyone, please help send Zhou Hong to the hospital. Sister-in-law, my son Xuan He is alone at home. Please help take care of him."
"Okay, got it. Don't worry, I'll take him home."
After explaining the child's affairs, Zhang's father sent Zhou Hong to the military hospital with the help of his neighbors.
The doctor checked and found that my lower leg was fractured.
"Go to the hospital first. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. You need to take good care of yourself."
The doctor treated the broken leg and gave him an IV.
During the dog days of summer, you can’t get infected.
After arranging things for Zhou Hong, Zhang's father rushed home again. Xuan He was still at the neighbor's house.
Father Zhang hurried back home and had just picked up Xuan He when Zhang Chaoheng also arrived home.
His grandfather introduced him to a girl, and after they met, they got along pretty well.
"Dad, where's my mom?"
"Your mother broke her leg and is in the hospital."
"You broke your leg. How did you break it? Is it serious?" Zhang Chaoheng was anxious. He was fine when he went out in the morning.
Father Zhang explained the whole story. Now, what he is most worried about is what to do in the days ahead.
Zhou Hong broke her leg and needs someone to take care of her. Xuan He also needs someone to take care of him. He and Chao Heng cannot take long-term leave. It's really worrying.
