Chapter 226
Xu Di didn't expect that Xiaojun, whom she was still talking about two days ago, actually came back within two days.
"Sister, I'm back.
Nuannuan, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, do you miss your uncle?
Hello Grandma Qian, Hello Aunt Wu! ”
Xu Di didn't expect that when he opened the door, he would see Xiaojun. He looked different after not seeing him for a year.
Xu Jun walked into the room and greeted everyone one by one.
"Sister, have I changed so much? Why do I feel like you don't recognize me anymore?"
"He has changed a lot. He has grown taller and his face has changed. He is no longer childish and looks like an adult."
Xu Di looked at his younger brother who already had stubble and felt that he had really grown up.
“That’s because my face is wrinkled from daily military training in the army.
But, sister, you haven't changed much, you are still as beautiful as ever. ”
"Uncle, you are really good at talking. My mother laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared."
What nonsense is this little girl Yuanyuan talking about?
"Haha... our Yuanyuan is still so cute. Uncle brought you gifts, come and have a look."
Xiaojun opened the bag he brought in and started taking things out.
Grandma Qian looked at Xiaojun. When the child first came in, he looked mature in his military uniform. However, after laughing with his nieces, he returned to his previous self.
Xu Di glanced at the time and went to the kitchen, thinking about making something to eat in the evening to satisfy Xiaojun's craving.
The food in the army is only for filling but not for quality, so it is impossible for it to be as rich as at home.
"Xiaojun, eat here tonight. I'll make you something delicious. Is there anything you want to eat in particular?"
"Sister, I want to eat dumplings with meat filling.
In the south, people hardly eat dumplings. ”
"Okay, we have meat at home, let's make pork with chopped green onions, pork with cabbage, or pork with pickled cabbage."
Xu Di felt that it was too easy to eat dumplings.
Xiaojun played with his three nieces in the living room, and also chatted with Grandma Qian, talking about the customs and culture in the south. The three children listened with great interest.
Xu Di went down to the cellar and brought up a cabbage and two green onions.
This cellar is really good. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The autumn vegetables put in it will not rot, especially the potatoes, which will not sprout.
In the kitchen, Xu Di was chopping the meat while Aunt Wu was washing the cabbage and green onions.
A few days ago, her second uncle said that the brigade was slaughtering pigs, so Xu Di asked her second uncle to help buy 50 kilograms of meat, bones, ribs and lard.
Uncle Xu also took ten kilograms of soybean oil that he had squeezed himself.
My second uncle and Xu Jun sent it together. This year, Xu Di also made new cotton-padded jackets and trousers for my grandparents. That’s perfect, let my second uncle take it back.
Xu Di planted cotton in her space again. She thought that it would be much easier to take things out in the future and it would be easier to find excuses.
However, cotton, cloth and the like still require tickets and are not easy to obtain.
There is no formal channel, but those people who used to engage in speculative trading had no shortage of rare goods.
A few years ago, Xu Di made new cotton-padded jackets and trousers for the three elderly people. Several years have passed, and Xu Di made them again this year, one set for each person. A total of three sets of cotton-padded jackets, all made by Xu Di himself.
Xu Di did not go to the tailor shop. She made some slight changes to the style of her previous life. She did not make it too big, considering that her grandparents are old and are not used to being too thin.
After the clothes were finished, Grandma Qian tried them on and found them comfortable. Grandpa and grandma Xu also said they were nice.
So, Xu Di’s family really has no shortage of meat.
Now in the city, every family has only so many meat coupons per month, and once they are all eaten, they are gone.
Xu Di's family has always had plenty of money and has never lacked it.
The grass-roots cadres such as the captain and accountant of Niufang Brigade are quite bold. In the past few years, they started raising pigs and chickens in the name of the village collective. After the task pigs were delivered in winter, the team started slaughtering them. It’s close to the city, and anyone who has relatives in the city and is not short of money will come to buy meat, just like Xu Di.
Of course, with Grandpa Xu and Uncle Xu as accountants, the meat Xu Di bought was always the best.
In the evening, I made almost three hundred dumplings, including those with pork and chopped green onion filling, pork and cabbage filling, and pork and sauerkraut filling.
Xu Jun can also make dumplings and roll out dough.
There is strength in numbers. After the dumplings were wrapped and cooked, Xu Jun ate two large plates by himself, which amounted to almost forty dumplings.
"Sister, I can't take it anymore. I'm too full."
Xu Jun felt that if he opened his mouth, the dumplings would jump out.
"Hurry up and eat a hawthorn pill to help digest the food so you can go home. It will be dark soon."
While eating, Xu Di found out that Xiaojun had arrived in the morning, stayed at home for a while, and then came here.
"Well, it's time to go back."
Xu Jun knew that his eldest sister's two children were still at home.
When Xu Jun returned home, the Xu family was just preparing to eat.
"Xiaojun, wash your hands and eat."
"I'm done. I ate at my second sister's house."
"What delicious food did your second sister make for you?"
Xu's mother knew that Xiaojun had a good relationship with his second sister.
"The dumplings we made were stuffed with pork and cabbage, pork and sauerkraut, and pork and chopped green onions."
Xu Jun had a sumptuous meal of dumplings and felt very comfortable.
"Your eldest sister will be back in the next few days. Then you two will get along well."
"Mom, you should tell my eldest sister this. I have always tried my best to get along with my brothers and sisters. Whether we can be friendly or not has never depended on me."
Xu Jun felt that his mother would tend to be biased whenever she encountered matters concerning his eldest sister.
"You can't say that. Your elder sister has had a hard time. She found such a man and had such an in-law family. She is so unlucky."
Xu Jun didn't say much. If he said too much, his mother would be unhappy again.
Three days later, Xu Mei got off the bus and walked towards the staff quarters?
She came back alone. Li Gengsheng didn't care about the child, so she had to care.
To put it bluntly, these are her only two children, but they are not necessarily Li Gengsheng's.
If they divorced one day, he would definitely not care about the two children and would quickly give birth to other children.
After all, she was the one who had a difficult delivery at first, and she is also the one who will be unable to have children in the future?
This time when she went to Shanghai to attend university, she saw a different Li Gengsheng in a place that Li Gengsheng was familiar with.
In Yunnan Province, Li Gengsheng was a little melancholy. He stood in the afterglow of the sunset, playing the accordion. The golden light shining on one side of his face was really charming.
During those years, they lived together, raised children together, and were really happy. At least, she felt very happy.
But now, they are together in Shanghai, and Li Gengsheng is different.
She stopped playing the accordion and went back to her husband's house to rest on Sundays. In the morning, the man with disheveled hair and a spittoon in his hand who was queuing up in the public toilet looked so strange to her.
At that moment, Xu Mei felt that something was leaving her, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
During this holiday, she asked Li Gengsheng to come back with her to see the children, but he disagreed, saying that he didn't want to go to his mother-in-law's house to eat and drink for free.
I don’t know when, the two of them ran out of common topics.
As Xu Mei hurried home, Xu Yong also got off the car and prepared to return to Niufang Brigade.
This year, their training ended early, so they were able to go home and spend time with their grandparents and parents. I also have to go and see his niece. I don’t know who she looks like or what her personality is like.
No matter where you go or how old you are, going home during the Chinese New Year is a happy thing.
Although there are still a few days until the Chinese New Year, the festive atmosphere is already very strong.
