Chapter 30
Xu Di came out of her grandmother's house and made an excuse of having a stomachache, asking Xu Jun to wait for her on the road while she pretended to go to the toilet.
A few minutes later, Xu Di came out with a bag containing a rooster that she had tied up.
"Sister, what are you carrying?"
"Keep your voice down, there's a rooster for sale."
Xu Jun was so happy that his gums were exposed. His sister was very open-minded. After work, she always bought delicious food for him.
"Don't be silly, you carry it and I'll take the vegetables."
Xu Di didn't spoil Xu Jun either. He was already eleven years old and could do a lot of work.
"Okay, I'll carry it. I can carry another one, too."
He held the chicken in one hand and a small basket with more than a dozen eggs in the other.
My grandmother has three hens, and she saves all the eggs they lay and doesn't sell them. Knowing that there was a shortage of eggs in the city, I left half for them and ate the other half myself.
The brother and sister entered the family compound with lots of bags, causing everyone to envy them.
"Look at the Xu family. The parents and brothers in the countryside take good care of them. They have this vegetable all year round!"
"How much are vegetables worth? How much does the Xu family send to the countryside every year?"
"Huang Zhaodi, you send gifts to your parents' home in the countryside every year, but I never saw you bring back a single vegetable."
Some people who disliked Huang Zhaodi immediately retorted to her. She goes to her mother's house to get food all day long, and her own children are so hungry. No wonder her man beat her lightly.
Huang Zhaodi angered everyone and went home in a hurry.
Xu Dike didn't know about this. She used all her strength to carry the big basket upstairs.
"Oh, kid, you have so many things, why don't you carry them in two batches? Where's your brother? Why doesn't he help you carry them?"
"Mom, I'm not idle either."
Xu Jun appeared from behind his sister. He didn’t know where her sister bought the chicken, but it was so heavy!
"What are you carrying?"
Xu's mother didn't expect that her eldest son still had things in his hands, including baskets and bags.
Xu Jun put the things on the ground, closed the door, and whispered, "The eggs my grandma brought me, and the chicken my sister bought, are so heavy."
"What, chicken? Xu Di, you've almost spent all your salary for this month, right? How much is this chicken? I'll give it to you later."
Xu's mother knew that the child wanted to subsidize the family, so he bought a lot of things for the family during the month he worked.
"Forget it this time. You can give it to me next time. I will use the first month's salary to buy food and daily necessities for my family, and save it for next month.
Mom, I also need to send some vegetables to Aunt Wang's house. When my grandmother heard about the work, she picked a lot of vegetables and even contributed the first crop of cucumbers. ”
There are no greenhouses at that time, so most vegetables in the north will not be harvested until after July.
The seedlings that Grandma Xu specially grew on the stove, and the cucumbers, beans and eggplants were harvested a few days earlier than those of other families.
"Take more, including the eggs."
Xu's mother was also very grateful to the Liang family and was willing to give away everything.
"Mom, we don't need eggs. Brother Liang has connections, so he doesn't need them. I'll get some fresh vegetables, otherwise they'll have to bring back more."
"Yeah, then get more vegetables."
Xu's mother put a lot of things into the basket and asked Xu Di to deliver it quickly.
Xu Di got up from the sofa, went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of water, and went out again with the basket.
Xu Di got off the bus one stop early and went to a nearby public toilet. Fortunately, there was no one there.
After entering the space, I went to my own vegetable garden and picked cucumbers, eggplants, beans, tomatoes, and some side dishes, filling a full basket.
She got it from her grandmother's house and will take it to the office to give to Sister Tang and the team leader tomorrow. She will also bring the chickens and eggs that Sister Tang wanted, selling them one at a time.
After packing the dishes, they went and caught two chickens, one for Grandma Qian and Aunt Wang.
After taking a look and seeing that there was no one in the public toilet, she hurried out.
Carrying the basket and bag, Xu Di didn't plan to take the bus. It was hot, there were many people, and the smell in the bus was very strong.
Fortunately, it’s only one stop away, not far away, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk there.
Xu Di carried his things into the Liang family compound. Fortunately, he didn't meet any acquaintances along the way.
Although I have only been working for more than a month, many of my colleagues in the department store live in this housing estate. Although we are not familiar with each other, we all know each other.
After going upstairs, Xu Di knocked on the door a few times.
"Xu Di, come in quickly. Your grandmother Qian and I were just talking about you. I didn't expect you to come."
"You missed me, right? I missed you too."
Xu Di carried things into the house and greeted Grandma Qian who was inside.
"Hello, Grandma Qian. I was thinking about visiting you later. I went to Grandpa's house this morning and brought back some vegetables."
Xu Di put the basket on the ground, lifted the floral cloth covering it, revealing a basket of fresh vegetables.
"Oh, these vegetables are so juicy. Your grandparents are really good at growing vegetables."
Aunt Wang and Grandma Qian each picked up a cucumber and couldn't let go.
"Well, the first thing my grandma does when she wakes up in the morning is go to the vegetable garden and take good care of it."
Grandma Xu no longer works. Her family has a large homestead, and she has planted many vegetable plots and private plots, all of which she grows vegetables on. If she can’t eat them all, she dries them. She was thinking about her eldest son's family in the city, so she made all the preparations.
"It's great, with thorns on top."
Grandma Qian also liked to grow vegetables, but now she no longer has the chance because she lives in an apartment building and has no place to grow vegetables.
Last winter, Xu Di got her a flowerpot to grow vegetables in. She took good care of them all winter, and she couldn't even eat all the vegetables she wanted.
"Grandma Qian, Aunt Wang, I also brought back two roosters, one for each of you."
Xu Di took out the rooster from the bag and suffocated it to death later.
"Oh, this rooster is really big, and its feathers are shiny and glossy."
The two men's attention was attracted by the rooster again. It was rare to see such a good-looking rooster. The cockscomb is bright red and the feathers on its tail are long and brightly colored.
After admiring the rooster for a long time, Aunt Wang and Grandma Qian finally spoke to Xu Di.
"I haven't seen such a nice cock in a long time. I ignored you."
"It's okay. I'm not an outsider."
Xu Di now really treats Aunt Wang and the others as good relatives, and speaks to them more casually.
"That's how it should be. We are destined to be together."
Aunt Wang patted Xu Di's arm. She felt that they had a connection with this child and felt a sense of closeness.
"Xu Di, have you grown taller recently? Why do I feel something is different?"
Grandma Qian hadn't seen Xu Di for a while and felt something was different.
"Grandma Qian, I've already turned 18, so I can't have grown any taller. Maybe it's because I'm working now, so I look like an adult."
"How old are you, Xu Di? How old are you?"
Grandma Qian was stunned for a moment and quickly asked a question.
"I'm eighteen now. I just had my birthday in May."
"Eighteen. I thought you were fifteen or sixteen. You just graduated from high school, how come you're eighteen?"
Grandma Qian found it a little unbelievable. She always thought Xu Di was fifteen or sixteen years old, but she didn't expect him to be eighteen.
"When I was young, I grew up at my grandmother's house. I didn't want to come back when I was old enough to go to school. Later, I couldn't avoid it anymore, so I came back to go to school later than others.
Later, there was a big movement in the city, so I took another year off from school. I stayed at my grandmother's house for a year before returning to school. I was two years older than my classmates. ”
Xu Di recounted her previous experiences as an original body. Her current height was exactly 1.65 meters, the same as when she first came here, she had not grown at all.
Aunt Wang didn't expect Xu Di to be eighteen years old. She thought the child was only sixteen or seventeen.
"I didn't expect that our Xu Di is already a grown-up girl and can date!"
Aunt Wang made a joke and Xu Di smiled. If there was a suitable one, he would not mind meeting her.
When Grandma Qian heard this, she took it to heart and pondered it in her mind without saying anything.
Xu Di had to go to work the next day, so he left without waiting for Sister Fang to come back.
Aunt Wang brought a lot of food, and Xu Di didn't refuse.
Only when people get along with each other and interact with each other can they enhance their feelings!
