Chapter 136
Zhang Xuanhe settled down with Grandma Qian. Because the weather was hot, he did not go to the nursery.
Zhang Chaolang knew that his mother was in the hospital with a broken leg, and that his son was at his grandmother's house, so he called to express his gratitude.
Grandma Qian answered the phone, "Chao Lang, don't worry, I will take good care of your mother while she is recovering from her injuries.
There are also Xiao Wu and Xiao Di at home. Xuan He is very close to Xiao Di and also likes his younger sister Nuan Nuan very much.
But this is not a long-term solution. Children need the love of their parents.
Don't let Xuan He become the second Chaoyang. He may not have Chaoyang's mindset. ”
Grandma Qian knew Chaoyang and had secretly wiped away her tears countless times.
Which child doesn't miss his parents and want to live with them?
"Grandma, I know. This time I'm on secondment and will be back in a year.
After I get back, I may apply for a transfer, and I don’t believe I will be busy then.
As for his mother, there's nothing I can do. ”
Zhang Chaolang felt very regretful that he was not decisive enough.
Now that you have made the choice, why not completely forget the past.
In the end, it turned out like this, and Xuan He had to bear too much at such a young age.
"Just know it in your heart. When you are alive, you must learn to make choices and know how to give up."
“I understand, grandma, but I realized it a little too late and it has become an irreversible situation.
Where is Xuan He? I want to say a few words to him. ”
Grandma Qian sighed in her heart, if she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place.
"Xuan He, your father is calling, come and answer it."
"Got it, Grandma, I'll be right there."
Xuan He heard what his wife said and agreed.
However, he was not as fast as Nuan Nuan.
When she heard the word "telephone", Nuan Nuan knew what it meant. She quickly crawled over, climbed onto the sofa, grabbed the receiver, and said, "Ah, ah, ah..."
This was Nuannuan's routine operation when Zhang Chaoyang called her before.
Zhang Chaolang on the other end of the phone heard a few screams and was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.
"You are Nuan Nuan, right?"
“Ah, ah…”
After Nuannuan finished shouting, she put down the phone and crawled away.
“It’s Nuannuan. She can’t speak yet, but she can occasionally call out ‘Mom’.
Before, every time Chaoyang called, she would shout into the microphone.
I just called Xuanhe to answer the phone, and she heard it and thought it was Chaoyang calling back. ”
Grandma Qian explained, thinking to herself that she hadn't contacted Chaoyang for a while.
"Come on, Xuan He, he's your father, talk to him."
Grandma Qian gave the microphone to Xuan He, and she went to grab Nuannuan, the little girl, and went back to the kitchen.
I really want to install a high baffle above each threshold to prevent this naughty girl from climbing everywhere.
On the other side, Xuan He, who was holding the microphone, didn't speak for a long time. He suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Xuan He, it's Dad. Do you miss him?"
"I wonder when Dad will be back?"
"Dad went back home during the Chinese New Year. Do you like staying at Grandma's house?"
"I like it. I like my great-grandmother, my second aunt, my sister, and Grandma Wu.
My second aunt hugged me to sleep and made new clothes for me. My great-grandmother played with me and Grandma Wu made delicious food. ”
The four-year-old child speaks very clearly and logically.
"Okay, Dad knows. You wait for Dad to come back, okay?"
"Okay, bye, Dad."
Xuan He hung up the phone with an obvious smile on his face.
Grandma Qian looked at this and felt very uncomfortable. Children have a natural dependence on their parents. I hope Chaolang will not be like Zhang Peng and be a responsible father.
The days passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, Xuan He had been here for several days.
During this period, Xu Jun brought Ping An here twice.
He is on summer vacation and needs to help take care of Ping An.
Ping'an is about the same age as Xuanhe and is an active child.
Xu Jun brought him over to play with Nuannuan, only to find out that his brother-in-law's nephew was there.
When he arrived, he took a few children to play downstairs. The cart that Xu Di had asked his grandfather to make was already made and was delivered by Xu Qiang.
Although it is a bit bulky, it is very convenient. Just put Nuannuan in it and walk with it. It is much easier.
There is also a shed on the cart to provide shade.
Xu Jun took the two boys to play football, while Nuannuan sat in the stroller, clapping her hands and watching.
Grandma Qian sat in the shade, watching the children and chatting with her neighbors.
After September, Xuan He was sent to the nursery in the department store, and Xu Di picked him up in the morning and evening.
Grandma Qian returned to her previous life. Looking at Nuannuan, the little girl could walk very fast with the help of something.
Recently, Xu Di sneaked into the space to work while the children were asleep.
After harvesting two crops of rice and wheat, she also planted some millet.
There is a stone mill in the space, and Xu Di needs to grind rice into rice and wheat into flour.
After pushing the millstone for a while every day, Xu Di felt that his arms had become thicker.
Looking at the rice that I worked so hard to make, it’s a bit horrible.
The rice grains are big and small, and broken into pieces. It doesn't look like this is made from good quality rice at all.
The flour has been ground and sifted many times, and it looks a bit black.
Xu Di really doesn't know how to use the stone mill. There was no way. She couldn't take so much rice and wheat out to grind, and she couldn't tell where they came from.
Just make do with it, this is pretty much all the food you have at that time.
Xu Di worked for several nights in a row and ground out about 100 kilograms of flour and rice each.
Xu Di was also very tired and decided to take a break for a few days. She needed to rest.
During this period, Zhang Chaoyang didn't call back, so Xu Di took the letter he had written to the post office to send it, and asked by the way if there was any package for him.
Xu Yong said he had sent some specialties from Northeast China and asked her to think about picking them up.
"Xu Di, right?"
"Yes, is there my package?"
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
The staff knew Xu Di and always came to send letters, usually to the army.
"No hurry, thank you."
Not long after, the staff brought Xu Di's package and asked her to sign before she could take it away.
Xu Di completed the formalities, thanked the staff, and left the post office with the package.
I don’t know what Xu Yong sent over. It was quite heavy, about twenty kilograms.
Xu Di didn't rush home. He found a secluded place and entered the space.
I quickly opened the package and found that there was rice and flour inside, also weighing five or six kilograms.
Xu Di opened the bag of rice and flour and quickly put rice and flour into it, about 15 or 16 pounds of each.
Use your hands to mix the two types of rice together.
The rice flour ground by Xu Di didn't look like it was made from full ears of wheat or rice, and its quality was not good.
After packing up, Xu Di left the space with a package in his hand, which contained a bag of rice and other dry goods.
It was too heavy. Xu Di was able to lift it together, but it took some effort.
She planned to take out the bag of flour when she was almost home.
Xu Yong found the fertilizer bag from somewhere, but it can hold quite a lot of things.
Before entering the room, Xu Di took out the flour bag and then knocked on the door.
"Aunt Wu, please give me a hand. I'm so tired."
"What did you buy? It's so heavy."
"My second uncle's cousin is serving in the army in Northeast China and sent me some food and local specialties."
Xu Di shook his arms. They were really heavy.
"Oh, it's true. I heard that there is no shortage of food in the Northeast. It seems to be true."
Aunt Wu happily carried the bag to the kitchen, and Xu Di carried another bag.
That’s great. There’s a clear road ahead for food. Twenty or thirty kilograms of food is enough to eat for a while.
Nuannuan can eat complementary foods now, such as rice porridge and small noodles, which are all fine grains.
Now, the food supply is insufficient, especially fine grains.
Xu Di would find all kinds of excuses to bring food home in the future. This time was a good opportunity. The total amount of food was about thirty or forty kilograms, which was enough to last for a while.
Alas, it is like guarding the granary but not daring to fill your stomach. Who can understand such sadness!
