Chapter 153
Xu Di had a chicken in his left hand and a carp in his right hand instead of a duck, and he was hurrying home.
It is really cold in the mornings in the north, and everyone has turned into the White-browed Knight.
The hot air exhaled instantly formed white frost on the eyebrows. The hair above the forehead also turned white.
"Wife, come in and relax. Your hair is all frosted."
"It's quite cold today. What's the ninth hour now?"
Xu Di gave the things to Zhang Chaoyang and took off his shoes because his feet were numb from the cold.
"It's the 59th day of the ninth lunar month, the coldest time of the year."
Grandma Qian prepared a bowl of brown sugar ginger water for Xu Di and asked her to drink it while it was hot to drive away the cold.
"Don't go out on the 19th and 29th day. Walk on the ice on the 39th and 49th day. Look at the willows along the river on the 59th and 69th day. The river blooms on the 79th day. Swallows come on the 89th day. The 99th plus the 19th day. Oxen walk everywhere.
I still remember this song about the nine-day period. ”
“There are so many nursery rhymes, folk songs, and jingles left by our ancestors.
What a pity, no one talks about it anymore. ”
Xu Di was deeply touched. Now, the most talked about thing on the streets is quotations.
"Grandma, what do you want to eat in the morning? I'm hungry."
"When you're hungry, eat. Chaoyang cooked porridge, heated up some tofu, and some pickled vegetables."
Xu Di changed the subject. He was really hungry.
"Daddy, hold me."
"Hey, Nuannuan, daddy will carry you up."
Zhang Chaoyang lowered his voice by eight degrees and went happily to serve his daughter.
"Grandma, when did this happen? Did Nuan Nuan call you daddy?"
"It is said that Nuannuan came back from peeing in the middle of the night and unconsciously called out "Dad" several times, and Chaoyang was so beautiful."
Grandma Qian's eyes were filled with smiles when she recalled Chaoyang excitedly telling her about this in the morning.
"Okay, Nuannuan is familiar with Chaoyang now. When I go to work after the New Year, she won't cry for her mom anymore."
"She won't cry or make a fuss. She knows that you don't disappear when you go to work, so she won't cry or make a fuss."
After breakfast, Xu Di went to work.
"Xiao Xu, you're back. Hurry up. The New Year's benefits have been distributed and are on your desk."
"Thank you, Sister Tang. You have worked hard during this period."
"Why are you so hard? It's not easy for you. How is Nuannuan's father recovering?"
"The stitches have been removed, but you can't put any strength on your legs yet. You need to be careful not to let the wound break open."
Xu Di didn't say much. The team leader and Meng Jiao were not there, so they must be busy.
Xu Di thought that if the seafood arrived, he would come over later and give some to his colleagues. He didn't delay Sister Tang and the others from working, and just carried the things home himself.
She asked Zhang Chaoyang to sort out the things and went to the post office without going in.
"Comrade, your package has arrived. You came here on your own. Can you carry it?"
"I can't carry it. I'll ask someone to help me."
It weighed about 100 kilograms. When Xu Di sent it, it was Master Zhu who helped him.
Xu Di left the post office and went to the department store to see if Brother Liang was busy.
"Xu Di, why are you here? How is Chaoyang recovering?
I've been busy these days and was thinking of going to see him in the evening. ”
“Brother Liang, are you busy? The stuff sent from the south has arrived, but I can’t move it.
Chaoyang was injured and hadn't fully recovered yet, so we didn't dare let him exert too much force. ”
Xu Di had no choice as Zhang Chaoheng and Xiaojun were far away.
"Come on, I'll help you move it."
Liang Bo put on his coat and went to the post office with Xu Di.
After completing the formalities, the two men unpacked the package, put the items into two bags, and each carried some.
"Xu Di, you guys have done this a lot, haven't you?"
“There’s a lot of seafood over there, so I asked a chef I know to help me change it.
This is a rare opportunity, so I was thinking of exchanging some for everyone to have a taste. ”
"It's quite difficult to get there. It's too far. It takes several days and nights to get there by train."
Liang Bo occasionally goes on business trips, and the feeling of riding in a car is not a pleasant memory.
We are so close that we can reach the destination in no time.
Zhang Chaoyang opened the door and saw Liang Bo, and he realized that this was the person Xu Di asked for help.
"Brother Liang, thank you for your hard work."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Grandma Qian and Xu Di have helped us a lot.
You look in good spirits, but don't be careless and take good care of yourself. ”
“Well, the injury is quite serious this time, and I need to take good care of myself.
Brother Liang, come in and have a cup of tea. ”
"I'm not going in. It's the end of the year and I have a lot to do. We can talk again after I'm done with this."
Liang Bo left in a hurry again. The end of the year was really busy.
"Chaoyang, put your things at the door first, I'll come back to pick them up later.
I'll go buy some local specialties and send them to Master Zhu. ”
"Okay, Master Zhu helped a lot in the hospital."
Zhang Chaoyang also knew Master Zhu and wanted to thank him.
That day, Xu Di ran up and down so many times that she couldn't even remember how many times she had run.
Fortunately, it was on the second floor, otherwise, I would have had to run my legs straight.
After sending the items, Xu Di hurried home to sort out the seafood.
In the living room, Zhang Chaoyang and his grandmother had already taken out the things and sorted them out.
"Oh, I've eaten all of this."
As soon as Xu Di entered the room, he saw Nuannuan struggling with the squid strips.
"Nuan Nuan's nose works really well, as soon as she came out, she could smell something.
Wife, please take a rest first. You tell me how to do it and I'll do it. ”
"Yes, I need to rest for a while. My legs are so loose.
The things should be divided and a little should be given to each family.
Do I need to send some to my parents, your parents, grandpa, Yunlei and the others, Aunt Wang's family, grandma's friends, my colleagues at work, your good comrades-in-arms and so on? ”
Xu Di counted on his fingers and it turned out to be quite old.
"Some of my comrades need to move around.
I'll go and take my grandpa and parents there.
As for Yunlei and the others, just let Yunlei help deliver it.
It saves you from running back and forth, which is too tiring. ”
Zhang Chaoyang also wants to go to the retirement home to see his grandfather and visit his parents.
"Okay then. Tomorrow morning, let's take Nuan Nuan and go visit my parents."
"Okay, go to the department store later and buy Xiaojun a nice set of clothes and some leather shoes."
Zhang Chaoyang has to be nicer to his brother-in-law. When he is not at home, Xiaojun helps his wife with many things.
"Yeah, I know. I'll be delivering something to a colleague later, so I'll buy it while I'm at it."
"Xiao Di, forget about the clothes. Let's see if we can buy him a watch. Xiao Jun will be a junior high school student in the second half of the year, and he will be a high school student next year."
Grandma Qian thinks that boys don’t care about clothes, so it’s better to buy them a watch which is practical.
"Is it easy to get a watch ticket now? I'll call Yun Lei and the others to see who has one."
"No, I have it. If grandma hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it.
The year I first started working, my company held a lottery and I won a watch ticket. I had been thinking of buying myself a watch for the New Year.
I didn’t expect that Chaoyang and I would get married so soon and it wasn’t used. ”
Xu Di was thinking about the watch ticket that had been traded several times and almost forgot about it.
"That's perfect, buy Xiaojun a watch that he can wear for many years.
With a watch, you can manage your time well. ”
"Got it, grandma. I'll go there in a minute and sort out the seafood first."
The three of them took the oil paper and started packing.
People of different distances and distances have different relationships, so you can’t pack the same things in the same place.
However, except for Xu Di and a few of his colleagues, we need to show some respect to the other families, especially the close ones.
After one final confirmation that no family was left out, Xu Di stood up and straightened his back.
After dividing it up, my family still had a little more than one third left.
Xu Di is not worried about having nothing to eat in the future, as she still has plenty of space.
Moreover, there is Master Zhu. In the future, I can ask him to help send some goods over, so as to provide a clear way for the seafood in my space.
After the things were divided, Xu Di went downstairs again, carrying the seafood for his colleagues.
My legs have become thinner today!
