Chapter 244
Colds came one after another in June and only disappeared in July.
Xu Di was thankful that the children had good resistance, otherwise, if both the adults and children caught a cold, it would be very devastating for her.
In early July, Zhang Chaoyang came back. Xu Di happened to have to prepare for his final exams, so he took care of the housework.
It was only after Zhang Chaoyang came back that he found out that his grandmother was sick.
"Grandma, you were sick and I didn't even know it."
"You have no choice. You should be nice to Xiaodi in the future. I am sick and it is Xiaodi who suffers."
Grandma Qian knew it well, but at her age, she couldn't say when it would happen.
She was not afraid of death. Compared with those comrades who left early, she was lucky enough to live several decades longer.
"Grandma, I know Xiaodi has given so much to this family.
I will try to live a healthier and longer life, and when I retire, I will take care of her. ”
Zhang Chaoyang now wants to live a good life and strive to live a few years longer than Xiaodi. He feels that those who left first are happier and don’t have to miss those who left.
"Okay, I won't die for a while, don't worry."
"Grandma, I wish you a long life.
I'll go check the roof tiles; the rainy season is coming. ”
Zhang Chaoyang went to the warehouse to find a ladder and check the tiles. He was still fine.
"You are Brother Zhang, Sister Xu Di's husband?"
"Yeah, you are?"
Zhang Chaoyang actually doesn't know his neighbors.
"I'm Lin Jianshe from the Lin family next door. Last time my grandma was sick, it was thanks to the help from the Xu Di family. Brother Zhang, you want to check the tiles, I'll help you."
Lin Jianshe had just finished repairing the roof of his house when he saw Zhang Chaoyang climbing up from next door.
"Thank you, I can do it myself."
"It's okay. I'm light, so it's easier for me to walk up."
As Lin Jianshe was speaking, he came down from the house. After a while, Zhang Chaoyang heard the doorbell ringing.
"Brother Zhang, I'm here."
Lin Jianshe is a lively boy of 19 years old. He now sells some things and sets up a stall.
"Slow down, are you taking a break today?"
"I don't have a job. I was rehabilitated and returned home at the end of last year. Before I was sent down to the countryside, I was in junior high school. I was sent to labor reform and couldn't go to school. After I came back, I felt that I was too old and couldn't concentrate on my studies.
I'm buying some goods and setting up a stall now. ”
Lin Jianshe smiled and didn't feel embarrassed.
"That's good. There are top talents in every profession. Don't national leaders also advocate that unemployed young people should be self-reliant and find their own way out?
Moreover, the country now encourages individual business operations. If you follow national policies and abide by laws and regulations, you can also achieve success. ”
Zhang Chaoyang also studies policies in this regard. Every year, there are soldiers who retire from their army, but not all of them can be assigned jobs.
"Brother Zhang is right. My grandfather said the same thing. He said that as long as you keep your feet on the ground, you can always earn a living."
Lin Jianshe and Zhang Chaoyang got along very well, and they worked very quickly together.
Before, when they had just been rehabilitated, their grandparents were afraid and didn’t dare to contact outsiders.
If grandma hadn’t been sick and grandpa hadn’t been anxious, he would have had no choice but to come here to seek help, thereby breaking the deadlock and slowly getting in touch with the neighbors. I felt much better.
After finishing his work, Lin Jianshe went home. In the evening, he took a bus to Jinshi to pick up a batch of goods.
In the evening, Zhang Chaoyang talked about Lin Jianshe with Xu Di, and Xu Di told him the basic situation of his neighbors on both sides.
"Sounds good, no difficult people."
“Well, we’re lucky that the neighbors we met aren’t difficult to get along with.
By the way, Chaoyang, I bought a few shops on Xiushui Street. You happen to be at home, so go and clean them up. I’ll rent them out later. ”
"Okay, let's go check it out tomorrow and tell me the exact location."
Zhang Chaoyang did not ask Xu Di why he bought the shop or how much he spent. He earns money and his wife is responsible for spending it, and the division of labor is clear.
Xu Di wrote the house number for Zhang Chaoyang. She didn’t have time before, so after she bought it, she just left it there. I originally planned to clean it up during the summer vacation and then rent it out.
After talking about business, the couple also have to do some things between husband and wife. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan went to accompany their great-grandmother. It was so nice that no one disturbed them.
The next day, Zhang Chaoyang got up in high spirits and went to the backyard vegetable garden to weed.
Xu Di’s school is about to have an exam, and there is a lot to review, so he got up early to read.
After breakfast and sending his three children to school, Zhang Chaoyang took the bus to Xiushui Street to clean up the store.
He hasn't been out for a while and couldn't be found. Now there are so many people on the street and many stalls. There are stalls selling socks, vests, shorts, food and fruits. There is a wide variety of goods.
Xiushui Street, the address given by Xu Di, he took out the key, opened the lock, and started cleaning.
It took a day to clean it up, and tomorrow I have to repair the damaged areas.
Before Xu Di finished the exam, Zhang Chaoyang left again.
After the summer vacation began, Xu Di went to Xiushui Street and posted the rental information on the door.
Unexpectedly, the house was rented out in a short time. There was one large store and five small stores. The monthly rent was several dozen dollars.
Xu Di felt that it was appropriate to buy a house.
At the end of July, Xu Di took her three children back to Niufang Brigade to stay with her grandparents for a while.
Only grandma is at home, and my second aunt is not at home.
"Grandma, where is my second aunt?"
"She went to the city. She left in the morning. Xu Qiang's wife is pregnant, so she went to see her."
"Really? You haven't heard of it?"
Xu Di and Qiuxia got along well. After Xu Qiang got married, he brought Qiuxia to his home several times.
Every time I go on a long trip, I still bring things for the children when I come back.
"I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon for a checkup and found out. I called back and may not have had time to tell you."
“That’s right, as they are new parents, they may not have reacted yet.
Grandma, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it. ”
Xu Di didn't worry about it and decided to go and take a look after returning.
"I'll make some cold noodles for lunch. The persimmons in the garden are all red. They are sour and sweet, and they are appetizing."
"Okay, I'll go and mix the dough."
Xu Di comes back rarely, so she makes something to eat for her grandparents.
After staying in Niufang Brigade for several days, Xu Di and her friends returned to the city.
After coming back and taking a day off, Xu Di went to Xu Qiang's house to see Qiuxia.
Carrying a net bag of things, Xu Di went there alone, without her child.
In the early stages of pregnancy, it is better to be careful and avoid getting bumps or scratches.
"Sister, are you back?"
"Yeah, I came back yesterday. How was it, any reaction?"
Xu Qiangzhi went to his sister's house and called. Grandma Qian said that his sister had gone to Niufang Brigade.
"It's not even three months yet, and there's no reaction."
Qiuxia is an elementary school teacher. It is summer vacation now, so it is a good time for her to stay at home and rest.
"Relax, eat and drink as you should, don't be picky about food, have a balanced diet, and drink more milk.
If the baby absorbs well and gets enough nutrition in the womb, he will not make trouble after birth. ”
Xu Di's family of three is very easy to deal with, so they should not lack anything. Isn't it said that children will make a fuss if they lack calcium?
"Okay, I understand, sis. By the way, sis, do you still have Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's childhood things?"
Qiuxia heard from Xu Qiang that her sister's three children were easy to take care of.
"There are still some. I'll go back and look for them and send them to you then."
"Thank you, sis!"
Wang Qiuxia knew that her husband had a good relationship with Xu Di's family. Although she was her cousin, she was no different from her biological sister.
After talking about parenting with Xu Qiang and his wife for a long time, Xu Di went back to take Nuannuan to buy stationery. School was about to start and Nuannuan would be in the first grade.
The department store has received a batch of new schoolbags, simple backpacks, and Xu Di plans to buy one for Nuannuan.
Xu Di and her grandmother took her three children to the department store and bought each of them a skirt and a pair of white shoes.
A warm school bag, pencil case, pencils, erasers, rulers...
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan saw their sister bought a bunch of things, and they also wanted to go to first grade as soon as possible. Their mother said that she would buy things for them when the time comes.
Everything was ready. At the end of August, Xu Di took Nuannuan to school to register and received new textbooks. He went home to wrap the book covers with brown paper, wrote the three words "Zhang Chenxi" on them, and waited for school to start on September 1st.
"Mom, can Dad come back?"
"If there are no accidents, Dad will come back. He told me so on the phone that day."
Nuannuan smiled. She hoped her father would send her to school.
