Chapter 137
"Xiao Di, where did you get so much fine grain?"
"Grandma, isn't my cousin serving in the army in Northeast China? He sent this.
There was no shortage of food there, and he exchanged it with others using the tickets issued by the army. ”
Xu Di took a breath and felt a little exhausted.
I had to carry dozens of kilograms of things, and I was a little anxious and exhausted.
"Second Aunt, let me put on your slippers."
Xuan He put the slippers at Second Aunt's feet and asked her to change into them.
"Thank you Xuan He, Second Aunt didn't have the strength to get the slippers, you really helped a lot."
Xu Di's words successfully made the little guy smile, a shy smile.
"Mother……"
Nuannuan crawled over, calling for her mother in a loud voice.
"Nuan Nuan, are you here to pick up mom too?"
"Oh, Mom, ah..."
Xu Di couldn't understand the warm alien language.
After changing his shoes, Xu Di went to wash his hands first.
They all paid great attention to hygiene. At that time, medical conditions were limited, so they tried their best to keep their children from getting sick.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, there are many cases of children dying.
After washing his hands, Xu Di went to change his clothes.
The two younger ones did not follow in, but waited at the door.
"Come on, let's go to the sofa and rest for a while."
Xu Di held Nuannuan in one hand and Xuan He in the other and sat on the sofa.
"Xiao Di, there are still a lot of dried mushrooms, pine nuts, and hazelnuts!
Ah, this is ginseng, right? ”
Aunt Wu and Grandma Qian were unpacking packages in the kitchen, and exclamations kept coming from them.
"What ginseng? Let me see."
Xu Di hadn't read Xu Yong's letter yet. He had put it in a package and mailed it together.
"Here it is. Look, it looks like wild ginseng. There are ginseng seeds on it."
Aunt Wu carefully handed a paper bag to Xu Di. The things were found among the dried mushrooms.
Xu Di took it. Although she didn't understand, she knew that this was a ginseng of relatively old age, with all its whiskers and other parts intact.
Xu Di took it, put it aside, and went to read Xu Yong's letter.
There were several sheets of letter paper, and Xu Yong talked about some of his experiences in the army, and how he adapted very well and liked it very much.
He also talked about some specialties of Northeast China and explained that the wild ginseng was bought from the relatives of his comrades.
The family needed money, so he used up all his savings and borrowed a hundred dollars to buy it.
Xu Di laughed. Xu Yong could do this.
Xu Di thought about transferring 200 yuan to him tomorrow. He spent 200 yuan to buy this ginseng.
What Xu Di was most excited about was that the ginseng seeds on it, he wondered if they could grow ginseng seedlings if they were planted in the space?
If it is possible, then I can own countless ginsengs and have never worry about food, and have countless money!
"Xiao Di, what did Xu Yong write in the letter? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Xu Di came back to reality in a second and realized that he was overthinking. Even if there were so much ginseng, she wouldn't be able to take it out because there was no reasonable source.
"Grandma, Comrade Xu Yong's relatives are in urgent need of money and want to sell ginseng.
Xu Yong bought ginseng, spent all his money, and even borrowed a hundred yuan. You say, is this person a bit stubborn? ”
Xu Di found a reason. She couldn't say that she dreamed of owning countless ginsengs.
"This kid has a kind heart. Send him some money tomorrow. He has been in the army for less than a year, so his allowance is not much."
"Got it, grandma. Let's keep the ginseng. When the time comes, we'll find a familiar Chinese medicine doctor to give you some tonic prescriptions.
Grandma, I hope you live a long and healthy life. Chaoyang and I still need you, and Nuannuan needs you too. ”
Xu Di thought that if he had a ginseng root at home, he might need it someday.
“Ah, ah…”
Nuannuan, who was picking her feet nearby, heard her mother mention her name and shouted "ah ah" twice as a response.
Xu Di touched her daughter's little head and felt warm in her heart. This is the fun of raising a child.
I watched her grow from a tiny little ball to slowly grow up, learn to walk, learn to talk, have her own ideas, and then leave me little by little.
After packing the packages, Aunt Wu started preparing dinner.
Nuannuan is almost ten months old and can already eat soft foods such as egg custard and millet porridge.
Moreover, this child particularly likes to eat complementary foods, even if they don’t have much taste.
Whenever Aunt Wu called for dinner, she would be the first to crawl over, hold onto the kitchen door frame, and stand there eagerly waiting.
"Don't worry, Xuanhe, go wash your hands. Nuannuan, let mommy wipe your hands first."
Xu Di took Nuannuan's special towel, wiped her hands carefully, and put her in her special dining chair.
He also helped Xuan He wipe his hands clean and washed the towel.
"Come, eat, how about trying my fish stew?"
Aunt Wu bought a big carp in the morning, weighing more than three pounds.
"We all like Aunt Wu's cooking. Xuanhe, wait a moment, Second Aunt will pick up the fish for you. Be careful of the bones."
Xu Di picked up a piece of fish and made sure there were no bones before putting it on Xuan He's plate.
"Mom, mom, ah, ah..."
Nuannuan was anxious because she saw her mother putting something into her brother's bowl.
"Got it, I'll give it to you right away."
Xu Di picked another piece of fish for Nuannuan, made sure it had no bones, and put it in her bowl.
The little guy immediately tried to scoop up the fish with a spoon, but failed twice. He then grabbed it with his hands and put it into his mouth.
This is why Xu Di had to wipe her hands clean. This child would get her hands dirty when she got anxious.
The meal was quite lively because there were two children.
After dinner and cleaning up, Xuan He took Nuan Nuan out to play while Xu Di went to make clothes.
It’s autumn now, Nuannuan needs to wear long sleeves and long pants. When Xuan He came, Chao Heng packed a lot of things.
When Xu Di was cleaning up, he found that some of the child's clothes no longer fit.
Especially for small panties, they are either too big or too small.
Xu Di found some cloth and made two new suits.
Some time ago, Brother Zhang sent me a lot of food coupons, cloth coupons, and non-staple food coupons, all of which are military-use coupons and can be used throughout the country.
In the envelope, in addition to various bills, there were also several big unity notes.
Zhang's father also came over a few times, bought food and daily necessities, and also brought some money.
Xu Di asked his grandmother to keep all these things.
Aunt Wu cooks at home and Xu Di pays for the food, but grandma doesn't accept it.
Xu Di would buy things every now and then, and in fact, most of them were taken from the space.
Grandma bought a lot of cloth, and Xu Di prepared to make clothes for the whole family.
It's October now, and it's time to start stockpiling autumn vegetables and coal briquettes for winter. These are all things that need to be thought about in advance.
While Xu Di was operating the sewing machine, she was thinking about what to do next.
There are only women in her family, and they are not very strong, so some physical work needs to be done slowly.
Xu Di didn't want to ask others for help every time, there was no need. She can stock up on autumn vegetables just once a year.
Her current life has exceeded her previous expectations. I don’t have to cook or clean the house, as Aunt Wu basically does all the housework.
There is someone to look after the children at work, and there are delicious meals for her when she gets home from work. Even decades later, many married women do not live as carefree as she does.
So, Xu Di was grateful.
I was also thinking about what kind of clothes to make for Grandma and Aunt Wu so that they would look beautiful in them.
The sound of the sewing machine was accompanied by Nuannuan's occasional shouts, Xuanhe's nagging of his sister to be careful, and grandma's laughter...
The years are peaceful and quiet, this is it!
