Chapter 95
It was another day off, and Xu Di and her grandmother were going to the photo studio to pick up photos.
"Xiao Di, do you think our photos will look bad?
Yours is definitely good-looking, and our Xiaodi is also good-looking. ”
Grandma asked and answered her own questions, which made Xu Di laugh.
"Grandma, do you feel that you are becoming more and more lively now?"
"You kid, you're interrupting your grandma."
Grandma Qian patted Xu Di's arm with a smile, and then she smiled again.
Yes, ever since Chaoyang got married, no, ever since Xiaodi got married, her life has been filled with laughter, expectations, and colors, and is no longer just black and white.
"No, grandma is really younger, at least in her mentality."
"This is true. Because of Xiaodi and this thing in my belly, grandma feels that life is meaningful."
"Then let's live well, live to the millennium, and see the sky in the next century."
"Okay, I want to live until the millennium."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the photo studio.
"Oh, two comrades are here to pick up the photos. Little comrade, you don't know, your photo is really good. I want to put it in the window for everyone to see."
The comrade in the photo studio was really excited. He had never seen such a warm photo.
"Hey, comrade, please don't hang up our photos. It's inconvenient."
Xu Di didn't want to be famous, and he felt inexplicably shy when being surrounded and watched by so many people.
"Alas, what a pity."
The comrade from the photo studio took out an envelope and handed it to Xu Di.
"It's all here, including the negatives. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"
Xu Di took the envelope, poured out the photos inside, and looked at them carefully.
"Grandma, look, I told you that you didn't close your eyes."
Xu Di handed the photo to her grandmother, and the old lady was worried for a long time.
“Not really, I was probably a little nervous.
Let me see, this photo of our Xiaodi looks warm and radiant. What does that sentence mean? ”
Grandma Qian couldn't remember how to say that sentence for a moment.
"It looks like there's a maternal glow to it, is that what the old lady meant by that?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I said."
Grandma Qian slapped her thigh. She couldn't remember just that one sentence.
"Old lady, you know what, this sentence is really practical.
I have worked in this photo studio for more than ten years. This is the first time that I can see a warm feeling from a photo. ”
Xu Di also liked it. Although it was a black and white photo, it felt better than those taken by famous photographers in big studios.
"Thank you comrade, your photography skills are good, so the pictures you take are good."
"Haha...Thank you. Whether it's true or not, I'll take it as the truth."
Xu Di and her grandmother walked out of the photo studio with smiles on their faces and went straight to the post office to mail a copy of the photo to Zhang Chaoyang.
Coincidentally, there was a package for her in the post office, sent by Zhang Chaoyang.
The package was very large, so Xu Di and his grandmother had to borrow a cart to transport the package home.
Aunt Wu went downstairs and carried the package upstairs with grandma.
"Xiao Wu, please take the cart back. I am really old now. In the past, I could have carried it by myself."
Grandma Qian tapped her arm and felt a little sore.
"I'll go right away, Aunt Qian, you take a rest first, I'll be back to unpack in a while."
Aunt Wu came downstairs. Xu Di poured a glass of warm water for grandma and drank one himself.
After resting for a while, I regained my strength.
Xu Di took a pair of scissors, cut the string on the package and took it down.
There were quite a lot of things in the package, including a large bundle of dried kelp, a large bag of dried sea cucumbers, a bag of dried abalone, and various dried sea fish, some of which Xu Di didn't even recognize.
"Where did Chaoyang get so many seafood?"
"It should be exchanged from fishermen near the station. They have no shortage of these seafood."
Xu Di looked at so many delicious foods and his mouth was watering.
"Oh, Chaoyang has bought a lot of dried seafood!" Aunt Wu was surprised to see so many dried seafood when she came back from delivering the cart.
"Maybe I used all the tickets I had. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get so much."
Xu Di estimated that he probably didn't have many tickets on him.
"Xiao Di, divide some of the food into two portions. Send one portion to your parents and one portion to your Aunt Wang. We can save the rest and eat them slowly."
"My mother will definitely be happy, she likes these ingredients the most."
"All chefs like this, just like tailors like all kinds of fabrics."
Xu Di thought about it and felt that what grandma said was absolutely right.
After packing up, Xu Di washed his hands and put the photos away first.
Most of the photos were two inches, only two were enlarged and printed to four inches.
One was a photo of her and her grandmother, and the other was a photo of her lying sideways with her hands on her belly.
Xu Di likes this photo of him lying sideways, it makes him feel particularly comfortable. In my grandmother's words, there is a maternal glow.
After lunch, Xu Di took a nap.
In the afternoon, she took the dried seafood for her parents and took a bus back to her parents' home.
“Xiao Di, be careful on the road and come back before dark.
If it's too late, you can stay at your mother's house for the night instead of walking back in the dark. ”
"Got it, grandma, don't worry."
Xu Di carried the cloth bag and went to take the bus.
After getting off the bus, I entered the staff quarters of the machinery factory.
Xu Di had a strange feeling. It had not been long since she left, but she always felt that something was different.
"Xu Di is back, your belly is so big now?"
"Well, I came back to see my parents."
"Hey, Xu Di, how many months has it been? When will the baby be born?"
"It's been more than six months. The baby will be born at the end of the year."
Xu Di walked towards her home while answering the questions of the aunties in the family compound.
"Second sister, you're back, why didn't you call me and let me pick you up."
Xu Jun came out of the building next door and went to his classmate's house to borrow books.
"I don't have anything to do. Look, many pregnant women are busy with their big bellies, aren't they?"
Although Xu Di didn't think so in her heart, there were other people around her, and she couldn't let people accuse her of being a hedonist.
Xu Jun looked at his second sister in surprise, wondering when she became so enlightened.
"Let's go home, I'm hot."
Xu Di helped her brother and the two siblings hurried home.
"Mom and Dad, my second sister is back."
Xu Jun followed his second sister upstairs with a confused look on his face.
"Xiao Di is back, come in, are you hot?"
Because they heard Grandma Qian always calling "Xiaodi Xiaodi", Xu's mother and the others were also led to change their ways.
"Mom, these are seafood products sent back from Chaoyang. Grandma asked me to send some to you."
Xu Jun handed the bag to her mother, and he could smell the fishy smell of the sea.
He couldn't let go of the tank made of bullet shells that his second sister brought back last time, and his admiration for his second brother-in-law was like a surging river that never stops!
"Why do you take so much? Is it enough for you guys?"
Xu's mother took a look and found that they were all good stuff.
"Enough, plenty. Where are my sister-in-law and the others? Aren't they at home?"
"She's back home. She'll be back soon. Her mother's leg has healed. They'll go over to see her."
When Xu's mother thought of her in-laws, she felt helpless. He is in poor health, is ten years older than her, and has already retired.
"It's OK. You should be more careful next time. My sister-in-law's mother is not in good health, and there are many people in the family. Even if she retires, she can't be idle."
"Who says it's not true? She has three sons and a bunch of grandchildren, all crowded in that small courtyard. She has to worry about everything."
Mother Xu felt a headache when she thought about their large family of more than twenty people.
"My eldest sister-in-law's nephews and nieces are all quite grown up, right?"
"Well, your sister-in-law is an old woman, and her brother is more than ten years older than her.
Her oldest nephew and niece seem to have graduated from high school this year. ”
Mother Xu remembered that a few days ago, her eldest daughter-in-law said that her nephews and nieces were about to graduate, but they still hadn't found a job.
"Nowadays, if you can't get a job in a factory after graduation, you have to go to the countryside."
Xu Di recalled that at this time last year, she was already working, thanks to Aunt Wang and others.
Xu Di and the others didn't know that her sister-in-law was being besieged at her parents' home.
