Chapter 252
Time seemed to be on a whirlwind of speed; in the blink of an eye, it was already the spring of 1987.
The spring breeze in May blows across the earth, and all things come to life.
Xu Di stretched, opened the window, and the morning air blew in with a hint of coolness.
I touched my face and found that the collagen had not been lost too much.
It has been seventeen or eighteen years since 1970. She has been here for seventeen or eighteen years.
I pinched the flesh around my waist and it was still quite tight.
After the age of 25, it is easy to gain weight.
Xu Di exercises more frequently, as health is her top priority.
In her previous life, she was less than 40 years old and was diagnosed with cancer. She didn’t know if she could escape this disaster in this life.
After changing into sportswear, Xu Di pushed the door open and went out for her morning run.
"Mom, you're up too?"
"Nuan Nuan, are you sleepy? The second year of junior high school is about to end, and next semester will be the third year of junior high school. You will be even more tired from studying."
Nuannuan is in the second grade of junior high school now. She will be in the third grade when school starts again in September.
The Kyoto University Affiliated High School where she is studying also has a high school department, but one needs to take an exam and cannot be admitted directly.
"Mom, I'm not sleepy. I've arranged my schedule and made sure I get enough sleep."
"That's fine. You must not stay up late. Your health is the most important thing."
"I know, Mom, let's do it."
The mother and daughter left the yard and ran towards the nearby Beijing University.
There were many people getting up early to exercise on the playground. Xu Di greeted his colleagues and classmates, and then ran seriously behind Nuannuan.
One lap, two laps, three laps...
After running three or four laps on the 400-meter track, Xu Di began to run out of energy.
Nuannuan has already run several more laps than her. The body of a person in his thirties cannot compare with that of a person in his teens.
"Mom, are you tired?"
"I'm a little tired. I'll take a slow walk for a while."
"Okay, I'll run two more laps."
Xu Di waved her hand and let her run by herself, while she walked slowly on the side.
"Teacher Xu, why don't you run away?"
"I ran a few laps, but I can't run anymore. Teacher Wang, are you new here?"
"I got up late today and didn't want to go out, but I had to grit my teeth and keep running."
"Exercise is a test of willpower. Sometimes I really don't want to move."
Xu Di also understood this deeply. The reason why she could persist like this was not because she had great willpower, but because she was afraid of death.
"Hold on, hold on, Mr. Xu. I'm going to go run first."
Teacher Wang is a few years younger than Xu Di, a little fat and wants to lose weight.
Xu Di walked around and Nuannuan ran over.
"Mom, let's stretch and then go home."
When the mother and daughter arrived home, the new sister Cai had already prepared dinner.
Aunt Wu passed away last year. She was old and had a bad heart. The doctor said that she suffered a lot when she was young. She didn’t feel anything before, but now she is old, it all becomes apparent.
Yes, when Xu Di first met Aunt Wu, she was only in her forties, and now, she is almost sixty years old.
Aunt Wu has a house in Beijing where she lives alone. It is quite spacious. My daughter comes over from time to time, which is considered filial piety.
Xu Di would go to visit occasionally. After living together for more than ten years, they visited each other like relatives.
"Xiao Di, Xiao Jun just called. He will come to Beijing in a few days. He has a day off and will come to see you."
"Grandma, is it true that my uncle is coming?"
Nuannuan's happiness is really obvious.
"Yes, your uncle is coming. It's almost been a year since we last met."
Although Grandma Qian is over 80 years old, her ears are not deaf and her eyesight is a little blurry, but her mind is not confused at all.
Xu Di has planted more than ten ginseng trees in his space.
The ginseng that Xu Yong sent back that year had seeds on it. Xu Di planted it, and it sprouted and grew.
Strangely, the seeds produced by these ginseng cannot germinate.
Xu Di felt that this might be the invisible rule of space, and that one cannot use space to make a fortune.
Otherwise, if you plant the whole space with ginseng, how much money would that be worth?
Xu Di was not greedy, and these more than ten ginseng plants were enough.
She found an old Chinese doctor, who took her grandmother and her grandparents' pulses and prescribed some health-preserving prescriptions to nourish them.
Over the years, they haven't used more than two ginsengs, but the three old men are in good health.
"Grandma, did my uncle tell my aunt and cousin whether they can come?"
"No, your uncle is here on a business trip, and your aunt still has to go to work."
Yuanyuan was a little disappointed because she really liked her uncle's twin boys and girls.
Xu Di also smiled as he thought about the quirky nephew and niece.
In 1981, Xu Jun graduated and went to the company.
His unit was in the south, and he found his partner in the south, too, the sister of his comrade-in-arms.
We got married in 1985 and our child was born last year.
There was a chance to be transferred back to Beijing before, but Xu Jun did not come back in the end because he did not want to get involved in family affairs.
He doesn't want his parents' things, so he lets his older brothers and sisters deal with them on their own.
Xu Jun’s wife also graduated from university and works in the local finance bureau. She studied accounting.
After the child was born, the child's grandmother helped take care of the child. The young couple had a good relationship and lived a happy life.
After dinner, Xu Di went to work, and Nuannuan and the others went to school.
Xu Di instructed Sister Cai to stew some beef and radish for lunch as there was beef in the refrigerator.
In recent years, the rent of Xu Di's store on Xiushui Street has become higher and higher, and she has a lot of spare money.
They used to own the buildings in the government compound.
Although many people have their eyes on that house, grandma is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.
In 1985, Aunt Wang acted as a matchmaker and someone exchanged a small courtyard with them.
The person introduced by Aunt Wang knew everything about him, and grandma agreed.
Grandma said that they haven't lived in that house for several years. Although they have the property rights, it will become troublesome after a long time.
The other party works for the government and the house he was allocated is small. There are too many people in his family and it is crowded.
It just so happened that their family had a yard in a good location.
The yard is a small quadrangle with two entrances. According to the market price, neither of them suffers a loss.
In the 1980s, courtyard houses were not valuable, but buildings were hard to come by. What's more, Xu Di and her roommates' apartment has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a toilet.
The house was rented out by Xu Di, and the rent was pretty good as a whole.
Last year, Xu Di also bought a small courtyard house, and the house price was already not cheap.
Xu Di has no plans to buy a house with the remaining money he has for the time being.
Sister Cai said she knew, and Xu Di also came back to his senses.
Get on your bike and rush to school.
She also has to prepare her graduation thesis and try to pass it in one go.
In 1985, Xu Di was admitted to a postgraduate program and will graduate this year.
In the past few years, Xu Di has been busy taking care of children and studying, and she is also very tired.
She didn't plan to continue taking the exam for the time being and wanted to stop and take a break.
Nuannuan is about to enter the third year of junior high school, and Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are also going to junior high school.
The child has heavy study tasks and also has to face puberty, so Xu Di has to set aside time to accompany his child.
Moreover, Xu Di wants to write something, she also has a literary dream.
