Chapter 180
Zhang Chaoyang returned to the military academy, Aunt Wu came back, and the family became a family of old and young again.
Nuannuan touches her mother's bulging belly every day and talks about her sister.
Half a month later, Xu Di looked at her protruding belly and was basically certain that there should be two little babies in her belly. As to whether they were two younger brothers, two younger sisters, or one younger brother and one younger sister, it was unknown.
September was almost here, and Xu Di found some time to go back to her parents' home. Xiaojun was about to start school, and he got into high school by hanging on to a parking space.
After five years of elementary school, I started to work hard in junior high school, and the two years were still a bit tight.
"Mom, little uncle."
"Yes, go to grandma's house and visit my uncle."
Xu Di packed up her things, she didn't take anything to eat. Every time she went back to her parents' home, she would never go empty-handed.
The last time she went back, as soon as she entered the house and put down her things, her sister-in-law started looking through the things she brought back.
As he spoke, he went to see what food his second aunt had brought back for the children.
Xu Di felt a little uncomfortable. She was taking things back not for her eldest brother's family, but to show filial piety to her parents. It's just that they live together, eat and drink together.
"Let's go find my uncle."
Nuannuan doesn't need her mother to hold her. She carries the bag on her back, which contains her water bottle and some food.
Xu Di made it for Nuannuan using army green cloth. He also specially cut a red five-pointed star and sewed it on the pocket of the bag.
It is really an era where people love military equipment more than red makeup. No matter young or old, everyone likes the military green.
Xu Di said something to his grandmother, took Nuannuan with him, and went out to take the bus.
As soon as I got off the bus, Xiaojun was already waiting at the stop.
"Second sister, Nuan Nuan."
Xu Jun waved his hands happily, showing his big white teeth.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot? Are your parents home?"
"Not at home. My eldest sister-in-law's mother passed away, and my parents went over to help."
Xu Jun said it calmly. He was also saddened by his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law had to take care of her own mother and couldn't take care of household matters, so his mother was the one who was busy.
However, she couldn't even take care of her own children, and Anping and Anyue were like children without a mother.
No matter how his elder brother and sister-in-law talked, it was of no use. His sister-in-law was like a possessed person, and devoted all her attention to her mother.
For a period of time, An Yue was sick, but her sister-in-law didn't take her seriously. His eldest brother and sister-in-law had a quarrel and almost got divorced.
Xu Di didn't expect that the old lady of the Wang family passed away without her sister-in-law saying hello.
"Then don't go upstairs. You're about to start school. If you need anything, I'll buy it for you."
"Second sister, you don't need anything. Our mother made me a new set of clothes. The military uniform that my second brother-in-law gave me before is just right for me now."
Xu Jun held Nuannuan, his eldest niece, who had gained weight again.
"Then I'll buy you a pen. You're in high school now, so study hard and make progress every day!"
"Uncle got a perfect score on the test."
Nuannuan knows that getting 100 points is good.
Aunt Fang said that if Brother Ankang can get 100 points in the exam, she will buy him a toy car.
"Okay, uncle, try your best to get a perfect score."
Xu Jun felt very miserable. It was too difficult for him, who was at the bottom of the class to get into high school, to get a perfect score.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative, buy some things, and then take Nuannuan to the zoo.
She wants to see the monkeys, but your brother-in-law hasn’t had his holiday yet and I don’t have the energy to keep up. ”
"Okay, second sister, just buy me a cheap pen. We'll go to the zoo later, you find a cool place to stay, and I'll take Nuan Nuan to see the monkeys."
Xu Jun didn't want his second sister to spend money on him. His second sister was about to give birth to a baby, and there would be many places to spend money in the future.
"Uncle, look at the monkeys, the birds, the rabbits, the big tigers..."
Nuannuan thought about the animals she saw the last time she went to the zoo. Every time she said something, Xiaojun would imitate the sounds of animals, making Nuannuan laugh non-stop.
Xu Di looked at the uncle and nephew who were making a mess in front of him, and followed behind with a smile.
After buying a pen, the three of them took a bus to the zoo.
Xu Di bought the tickets, and Xiaojun bought a big pomegranate for Nuannuan and his second sister. He saw some children selling them secretly. There were only two left, and he bought them both.
After entering the zoo, Xiaojun took Nuannuan away, and Xu Di found a nearby pavilion and sat down to rest.
My belly is almost four months pregnant and I get tired easily.
Xiaojun is fourteen years old and has Nuannuan with him. She is not worried and just eats pomegranates here, waiting for them to come back.
There is a small water bottle in Nuannuan’s bag. It was brought back by Zhang Chaoyang this time. It is much smaller than the military water bottle.
Xu Di sat in the pavilion and opened the pomegranates that Xiaojun had bought. They were bright red and looked pretty good.
There are still pomegranates in her space. She will find a chance to take some out. Eat half of the pomegranate and leave the rest for Xiaojun.
After about an hour and a half, Xu Di heard Nuannuan and Xiaojun's voices coming from a distance.
"Xiaojun, Nuannuan, I'm here."
"I saw you, second sister."
Nuannuan might be tired, so she was carried here by her uncle.
"Nuannuan, is there any water in the kettle?"
"Yes, I didn't drink."
Nuannuan patted her shoulder bag, with a half-eaten pomegranate in her hand.
“Xiaojun, I left you half a pomegranate. There’s water in the kettle, drink some.
We're going to a state-owned restaurant for lunch later. You two think about what you want to eat. ”
“Braised pork.”
Nuannuan looked at her mother eagerly, wanting to eat meat.
"Slippery intestines."
Xu Jun likes to eat pork offal, and his favorite is fried pork intestines.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you two."
After eating the pomegranates, the three of them went to a nearby state-owned restaurant. Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang had been there before, and the chef’s cooking skills were quite good.
When the three of them arrived, there were not many people in the restaurant.
Xu Di ordered a portion of braised pork, a portion of fried pork intestines, a bowl of egg and persimmon soup, and three bowls of rice.
After paying the food coupons and money, the three of them waited for their number to be called. Xu Jun and Nuannuan glanced at the window leading to the kitchen from time to time, waiting for the dishes to be served.
"The braised pork and fried pork intestines are ready."
"Uncle, go quickly."
Nuannuan was so anxious that she slapped her uncle's arm and sucked her saliva.
"Little greedy cat."
Xu Di touched his daughter's head and wondered why she loved eating meat so much.
“The braised pork is here!”
Xiaojun held a plate in each hand, put down the braised pork and fried pork intestines, then brought the soup, and finally three bowls of rice.
"Xiaojun, put half of the warm rice into your bowl. She can't finish a whole bowl."
"Nuannuan eats first, and when she's done, give it to me."
Xu Jun doesn't dislike his niece, and Nuannuan won't make a mess inside the food when she eats.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind."
"Mom, you hate me."
Nuannuan swallowed a mouthful of meat and looked at her mother.
"No dislike, no dislike."
Xu Di felt that as a mother, she had no dignity at all.
"I don't dislike my mother either."
Nuannuan has a very strong ability to express herself verbally. She is not even two years old yet, but she speaks very clearly and her thoughts are not confused.
Xu Jun looked at his second sister and Nuannuan and couldn't help laughing. His eldest niece was so amazing.
With the presence of the young boy Xu Jun, they ate up two dishes, one soup and three bowls of rice completely, leaving nothing behind.
"Second sister, I feel like the food has reached my throat and I can't even bend my waist anymore."
"Then you better protect it and don't spit it out."
"That can't be possible. I finally ate enough, so I won't waste it."
Xu Di did not laugh at his younger brother. It was not easy to eat meat in this era.
The Xu family is well off and can eat meat twice a month. However, there were only so many meat tickets, and each person in the family could only pick up a few pieces with chopsticks.
When they arrived at the bus stop, Xu Jun was worried about his second sister taking care of Nuannuan alone, so he sent his second sister and Nuannuan to the bus stop not far from the compound, and then took the bus back home.
