Chapter 331
The 2,000-year Spring Festival Gala has begun, and this year is about to end.
Xu Di and Zhang Chaoyang accompanied their grandmother to watch her favorite crosstalk artist perform, which amused the old lady.
"Grandma, drink some ginseng soup. It's just the right temperature."
Yuanyuan brought over four bowls of ginseng soup, one bowl for each person, to nourish them.
"Okay, I'm a little thirsty."
Tuantuan held the bowl and fed great-grandmother the ginseng soup bit by bit. Great-grandmother swallowed very slowly.
When Nuannuan and Yuanyuan got married, Xu Di originally planned to give each of them a ginseng.
Later, she couldn't find a reasonable reason, so she didn't send it, for fear that she couldn't explain it clearly and cause misunderstanding.
After the winter, grandma's health was very weak. Xu Di took out a ginseng that he had dried before and made the excuse that it was sent by Xu Yong from the Northeast.
Chaoyang didn’t know how much ginseng Xu Yong sent over that year, nor did he know how much he used.
Xu Di didn't dare to say too much, in case he let something slip, it would be bad.
Tuantuan added other medicinal ingredients according to grandma's physical condition and stewed ginseng soup together.
With the soup made from ginseng in the space, although the old lady's body was weak, her spirit was still good.
Xu Di knew that he was just holding back so as not to make the old lady feel uncomfortable.
The family drank ginseng soup, made dumplings together, and went to bed before the end of the party.
Zhang Chaoyang has to go to the army on the first day of the new year, and Sister Gong has also gone back to celebrate the New Year.
"Mom, give me the things and I'll send them to my grandparents."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll be home and someone will come over to visit soon."
Tuantuan left with her things. Chusan's elder sister and Yuanyuan came back, but her mother couldn't leave. The task of New Year's greetings was given to her.
When Tuantuan arrived at Xu's house, Ping'an and his family were also there, and Chenxin didn't go out either.
"Grandma and Grandpa, Happy New Year, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!
My dad is in the army and is not at home. My great-grandmother at home needs someone to be around, and there are some people coming to pay New Year’s greetings, so my mother can’t come. ”
"Tuan Tuan, come in quickly. I know your parents are busy, so they can come over when they are not busy. What about you? Didn't you go to the hospital for duty?"
When Xu's mother saw Tuantuan, she was very happy and waved to her. She had been in poor health in recent years and had been hospitalized several times.
Fortunately, they were all old age diseases and not serious. Brother Xu and his wife took care of themselves and did not look for Xu Di and Xu Mei.
Every time Xu Di bought something, she would go over to check it out, but she didn’t have time to take care of it.
"We'll go tomorrow. We're doing internship, so we don't have that many shifts."
"Auntie, Happy New Year!"
At the signal from their mother, Ping'an's children wished Tuantuan a happy new year.
"You are so good. This is the New Year's money given by my aunt."
Tuantuan took out a red envelope from her pocket; she was prepared.
"Is your great grandmother okay?"
"Grandpa, my great-grandmother is a little weak, but her spirits are still good."
"That's good. That's good."
Mr. Xu didn't say much. He asked about the old lady's health and then didn't know what to say.
"By the way, cousin Fengying is getting married after the New Year. Did you know?"
An Xin thought about this and asked Tuantuan.
An Yue from Brother Xu’s family got married the year before last. Her partner is a colleague from her school and she is now four or five months pregnant.
"Fengying is getting married, but we haven't heard about it. When did she start dating someone, and what does the other person do?"
Tuantuan is not actually curious about these things, but she knows Yuanyuan is curious. When she came back from the third grade of junior high school, whenever this matter was brought up, she would ask her questions thoroughly.
That's for the purpose of listening to gossip and getting together with the relatives from the husband's side from time to time! Because they visit each other so often, all the relatives of the Jiang family praise Yuanyuan for being nice and humane.
"My eldest aunt may not have informed my younger aunt yet. Cousin Fengying's boyfriend is a businessman, and he seems to be the owner of a decoration company.
The veteran, along with some of his comrades, was doing jobs like plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry. It was said that they were doing a good job and had a house and a car. ”
An Xin didn’t know much. Her partner was a bank clerk introduced by her eldest brother. He came from an average family and could buy her a small house.
"Fengying's boyfriend is very capable and can endure hardships. In recent years, more and more commercial housing has been built. He does a good job and many people come to him for help."
I have met Ping An several times and talked to him. He seems like a very down-to-earth person.
"He's average looking, quite tall, and a bit old, almost 30."
An Xin is more concerned about appearance, age, and other things.
"Very good. Veterans should have good character. When looking for a partner, ability, appearance and so on are secondary. The most important thing is good character."
Tuantuan feels that people with good character will not make things too ugly no matter what happens in the future.
“Tuan Tuan is right, character is the most important.
Tuantuan, do you have a partner? ”
"Grandma, I don't have a boyfriend yet. I won't graduate until July, so I don't have time to date."
"That's true. You're too busy with work. But if you meet someone suitable, you have to consider your age."
Tuantuan smiled. It was true that she was busy, and it was also true that she had not met anyone who made her heart beat.
She doesn't have a strong desire to have a partner and it's optional.
If she meets a boy who makes her heart beat faster, she will also fall in love with him.
Unfortunately, no such person has appeared so far. Yuanyuan said that her destiny has not arrived yet, but when it does, she will naturally feel it.
Mother Xu did not continue the topic. She knew that the three children of Xu Di were not close to them, and there were some things they could not say.
Tuantuan didn't take it to heart. It was up to her to decide whether to have a relationship and when to have one.
Neither her parents would urge her. Her father might urge her in his heart or talk to her mother, but he would not say it in front of her.
The three sisters are lucky to have parents who understand, support and love them.
"Cousin Tuantuan, I heard from my aunt that cousin Maoye also has a girlfriend, who is a native of Shanghai.
My cousin is doing quite well now. He works for a foreign company, earns an annual salary, and has already bought a house. ”
An Xin's personality is similar to Yuan Yuan's. They both like to chat about gossip, family matters, etc. and are well-informed.
"That's good."
After coming here and hearing some gossip, Tuantuan is also going home.
Mrs. Xu prepared some things for Tuantuan to take back. They were all braised pork and other things made by Xu's mother herself, and they tasted good.
Tuantuan thanked grandma and aunt, then took his things and went home.
"The children in your aunt's family are amazing. They are capable themselves, and the partners they find are also capable."
"Mom, there's no comparison. Let's just live our lives well and keep our family healthy."
Ping An is quite satisfied with his life. Both he and his wife have formal jobs, his children are healthy, his parents are in good health, and he has a good relationship with his two younger sisters. He is content.
“I know, I just expressed some emotion.
Your uncle-in-law has a position there, and Nuannuan and the others have also worked hard. The good lives they lead are also the result of their hard work. ”
Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that she had no intention of competing with her sister-in-law, as she knew her own worth.
She is not Xu Mei, whose ambitions are high as the sky but whose life is fragile as paper. She has loved to fight since she was young, but in the end, she has gained nothing.
