Chapter 152
With Zhang Chaoyang looking after the children, Xu Di was preparing New Year's goods.
The organization sent over food for grandma, and there was a lot of it.
Although Xu Di took leave, her benefits were still paid as usual.
Team leader Sister Zhao has already called her and Xu Di will go to the unit to pick it up tomorrow morning.
There are also some seafood sent back from the south. I will go to the post office tomorrow to see if they have arrived.
Xu Di went over what he needed to do in his mind. Being young is good, at least you have a good memory.
"Xiao Di, here are some fabrics I found. Pick some and make a new dress for the two children and yourself.
There is no need to prepare too much other food. There are only a few people in our family, so we can just cook and eat as we like.
It’s so tiring to do it together. ”
Grandma Qian had no idea about ancestor worship. There was no one left in her natal family, nor in-laws’ family, and her ancestors had long been reincarnated.
At this time, the mainstream idea was to break feudal superstition. However, the deeply rooted ideas of the Chinese people cannot be changed easily. No one is born out of cracks in the rocks, and everyone has roots.
"Grandma, have you found all the things in the bottom of the box?"
"It's almost done. There's no point in keeping them, especially these brightly colored ones. I'll use them to make a skirt for Nuannuan.
And these cheongsams, your grandmother has worn them in person to many important occasions.
Now they have become the four olds. You can put them away and wait for them to be worn in the future. You can take them apart and do something with them. ”
Grandma Qian touched the neatly folded cheongsam, and there was a different light in her eyes.
"Okay, grandma, I'm going to take it, please don't be reluctant!"
Xu Di smiled and joked that it would be too stressful to let grandma indulge in memories of the past.
"I, your grandma, am very generous. I won't regret it."
Grandma Qian's attention was diverted, and she no longer thought about the scene that had just appeared in her mind.
Although Zhang Chaoyang was playing with his two children, he also heard the conversation between his grandmother and his wife.
Once again, he thanked in his heart, thanking fate for making Xu Di his wife.
"Grandma, what are we having for lunch?"
“I ate late in the morning, so I felt hungry at noon, so I had some peach cakes and snacks.
Give Xuanhe and Nuannuan some malted milk and milk powder and let them eat it early in the evening. ”
At this time, most families only had two meals a day.
There is only a limited ration each month, and if you eat as much as you want, it will be gone in half a month.
"That's fine. I see there are some sweet potatoes in the kitchen. I'll steam some. If you're hungry, you can eat some."
Xu Di went to the kitchen to wash the sweet potatoes so that both adults and children could eat them soon.
I looked around again to see what was in the kitchen and what to make for dinner.
Xu Di was looking at the supplies in the kitchen while thinking in his mind.
After dinner, Xu Di was surprised to find that Nuannuan no longer rejected her father and was very close to him.
"Nuan Nuan, where is Daddy's pillow?"
"here."
Nuannuan patted the pillow that Zhang Chaoyang had rested on last night. She knew everything very well.
"My Nuannuan is so smart. She knows which one is daddy's pillow. That's great!"
"Great, Nuannuan is great, brother is great!"
Nuannuan was happy to be praised, but she didn't forget her brother.
"Yes, Xuan He is great too!"
Zhang Chaoyang thinks his daughter is the best child in the world, smart, sensible, generous, and beautiful...
"Okay, lie down, it's time to turn off the lights."
As soon as Xu Di finished speaking, the two children immediately crawled into bed, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Xu Di pulled the light cord and the room immediately became dark.
On the bed, Nuannuan lay between Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang, a position she chose herself.
Xuan He was on the other side of Zhang Chaoyang. Well, Comrade Zhang Chaoyang was sandwiched between the two children and was far away from his wife.
The two children had so much fun playing during the day that they fell asleep in a short while.
"Wife, Nuannuan and Xuanhe are both asleep. Wife, you have taught Nuannuan very well, really. This child has a good personality, is generous, and has an open mind."
"You really are my father. In just two days, you can see so many good qualities?"
Xu Di felt that Zhang Chaoyang used too much of a filter when looking at his own daughter.
Her daughter Nuannuan doesn’t have those big eyes and double eyelids. When she looks at people, her eyes are like bright stars, so cute.
Nuannuan’s face shape is very similar to mine, but her eyes are completely inherited from Zhang Chaoyang.
Especially when looking at people, his eyes are somewhat serious.
"I'm telling the truth. My eyes are very sharp."
Xu Di didn't argue with him. Even though he had slept for the whole morning, he was still very sleepy.
After a few words, she fell asleep.
Zhang Chaoyang heard the different breathing sounds of the three people, which meant they all fell asleep.
He could hardly open his own eyes and they were fighting.
In the middle of the night, Nuannuan woke up and Zhang Chaoyang carried her to pee.
“Dad, Dad…”
Nuannuan closed her eyes and called out "Dad, Dad", which made Zhang Chaoyang's eyes moist instantly.
"Hey, Dad is here, Nuannuan, go back to sleep and have a sweet dream."
"dad……"
Nuannuan muttered a few more times and fell asleep.
Zhang Chaoyang lay next to his daughter, his mind echoing with Nuannuan's voice calling "Dad" over and over again, and he felt extremely excited.
Listening to his daughter's breathing beside him, Zhang Chaoyang didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Chaoyang got up, changed his clothes, and stretched out his body in the living room.
He cannot do strenuous exercise, but for a soldier, he will feel uncomfortable if he does not exercise for a day.
"Grandma, what do you want for breakfast? I'll make it."
"Cook some porridge. There are frozen bean curd outside. Heat up some. There are pickles at home. Boil two eggs for the two children. That's all."
"It's simple, grandma, you take a rest, I'll do it."
Zhang Chaoyang can still cook simple meals.
Xu Di woke up early today as well. She was going to the grocery store to buy some meat.
"Grandma, Chaoyang, I'm going to the grocery store to buy some meat and chicken."
Xu Di put on a hat, gloves, and a scarf, then went out carrying the basket.
"Be careful on the road!"
Zhang Chaoyang's words of advice were kept inside the door.
Xu Di followed the crowd and saw a long line in front of the grocery store. Xu Di felt his scalp tingling when he saw the crowded crowd.
How long will it take to queue up? It’s really not easy to buy some meat.
Let’s line up. She can smuggle a chicken through space, but the pork and carp must be bought at the grocery store.
As the crowd moved slowly, Xu Di kept stamping his feet. If Zhang Chaoyang hadn't recovered yet, she wouldn't have come here by herself.
However, most of the people standing in front, behind, and around her were women or teenagers, and there were very few men.
It was finally her turn. Xu Di bought a piece of pork belly, a piece of lean meat and five ribs.
At this time, everyone loves fatty meat, which is greasy and oily.
Xu Di likes to eat lean meat, but the old and young in the family are too tough to chew.
After buying the meat and fish, Xu Di took a look at the chicken stall surrounded by a crowd and gave up decisively. He decided to get one out of the space himself.
After finally finding a remote place, Xu Di smuggled a chicken out and carried the things back home.
At home, Zhang Chaoyang had already prepared breakfast, cleaned up the children, and was waiting for Xu Di to come back for dinner.
