"Then let's go play outside and wait for my brother to sleep in the house, okay?" Fang Nuo asked as he pulled his daughter up.
"Okay, Yaya can also help mom grow vegetables," Yaya said
"Well, our Yaya is the most diligent. She helps her mother with a lot of things every day." Fang Nuo pulled the child out of the house while praising her for her diligence.
It still took the mother and daughter, together with Shen Gongqi, five days when they came back from get off work every day to dig out all the vegetable plots in the yard.
Fang Nuo set aside a place for planting vegetable seedlings, and sprinkled the rest with the vegetable seeds that were first sown, covered them with soil, watered them thoroughly, and waited for them to sprout.
The temperature has been slowly rising recently, and there is no shortage of rain. The vegetable seeds sown have sprouted in a few days.
The chickens at home also lived in the chicken coop made by the male owner, and there was a free circle around it. Within two days, the little hen happily laid eggs for the owner.
Otherwise, in the first few days after moving to the city, the hens might have been frightened and not laid eggs for several days.
The family quickly adapted to life in the city. One or two days a week, Shen Gongqi would bring his friends or Wang Junyu to the house for a meal.
Shen Gongqi came back that day and said to her: "Daughter-in-law, Haiyang's family will have a treat in two days. Haiyang asked me to take you and the children with me."
"Huh? What's going on at his house? Do you want to treat him?" Fang Nuo asked.
"It's nothing. That guy said that we haven't gotten together since we came out of the army. Now that we are all married and have families, we just want to get together so that you lesbians can meet each other." "Shen Gongqi said
"Okay, it's that day. I'll prepare the gift." Fang Nuo asked
"Three days later, he will have only one child at home. He is about the same age as our little boy, maybe a little older. Just prepare some gifts as you watch," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, I understand," Fang Nuo said
Fang Nuo also heard from Shen Gongqi later that Haiyang and his wife were introduced by a matchmaker in the village, and the two fell in love with each other.
His wife was actually a year or two older than Fang Nuo. Both of them got married late. They gave birth to a boy last year. Both families were very happy, so they paid for them and bought a small courtyard outside. The family moved to the city to make it easier for Haiyang to work.
Three days passed quickly, and it was the day to visit Haiyang's house.
Fang Nuo was at home, having packed and dressed his two children and himself early, waiting for Shen Gong's class to come back to pick them up.
Shen Gongqi got off work half an hour early today. When he returned home, Fang Nuo looked at his clothes and said, "We are visiting other people's homes. You don't just want to wear this to someone else's home." Bar"
Shen Gongqi looked at his clothes, which were not dirty except for a few patches. He asked, "What's wrong with these clothes? They're not dirty either."
"Although it's not dirty, it's still a bit old. Look at what my child and I are wearing. If someone who doesn't know sees it, you can't say that my child and I have treated you badly. No, please go inside and change into other clothes." Fang Nuo pushed him into the house and said
Shen Gongqi didn't expect that this was the reason for her, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll change it right away. You and the children will wait for me for a while."
"Hmm, go ahead. I'll pick up the gifts. Once you've changed, we'll set off. It's not good to be a guest at other people's homes and keep them waiting," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, I understand"
Fang Nuo went to the kitchen and brought out a pound of brown sugar and a canned fruit.
Thinking about some fruits she had just picked two days ago in her space, she took two seasonal fruits, packed them in cloth bags, and carried them out of the kitchen door.
After waiting at the door for a while with the child, Shen Gongqi came out wearing new clothes made by Fang Nuo.
He took the waiter and the gift from her hand and said, "Let's go."
The family locked the door and went out. The two families lived not far apart, just a fifteen-minute walk away.
When they arrived, they saw Haiyang and Wang Junyu waiting at the door from a distance.
Seeing them coming, Haiyang took a few steps closer and shouted: "Brother Qi, sister-in-law, please come to the house quickly."
"Why are you all staying outside? Are there any help from my brothers and sisters?" Fang Nuo asked as he followed the people into the courtyard.
"My wife said she doesn't need help there. Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly," Haiyang said.
After hearing this, Fang Nuo didn't know what to say.
The woman said she didn't need help, but this man really thought she didn't need help.
She didn't sit down and asked Yaya and Shen Gongqi to stay here. She said, "I'm going to see my brothers and sisters. You guys can chat here first."
Haiyang also reacted at this moment, pointed out the discovery in the kitchen to her, then thanked her and went to greet the others outside the door.
Fang Nuo arrived at Haiyang's kitchen and saw a petite woman busy preparing dinner at the door.
She walked in and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is there anything I need my sister-in-law to do?"
The woman turned around and saw a stranger, but hearing that she called herself sister-in-law, she guessed that this was the eldest brother of our man who took better care of him in the army.
He smiled and replied: "Sister-in-law, why are you here? I don't need any help here. You can go sit in the house for a while."
"I'm sitting here alone as a woman, and they can't get in the conversation while they're chatting. You'd better leave me to work in the kitchen," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, can you help me wash some dishes?"
"Of course, if you need help if you need anything, just ask," Lunchhe Nuo said.
The two started talking after a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Fang Nuo also said: "When my brothers and sisters have nothing to do at home, they can go to my house and sit there. I also take my two children at home every day, so I am very free."
"Then after two days, I will ask Haiyang to take me to find a door. Then sister-in-law, please don't find me annoying," Haiyang's wife said
"That won't happen. I'll be happy if you come more often," Fang Nuo said.
"That's okay"
The two of them chatted, and soon all the dishes were ready. Now they are waiting for everyone to gather before they can start cooking.
After a while, another family came outside.
How did they know? They could hear Haiyang's loud and excited voice clearly in the kitchen.
But in the kitchen, no one came to help anymore.
Fang Nuo went out to take a look, and after asking Shen Gongqi, he heard that everyone was almost here, and there was only one single person left.
Fang Nuo went to the kitchen to talk to Haiyang's wife, and the two started cooking.
By the time they finished cooking, people from outside had arrived.
More than a dozen people were divided into two tables.
The men, women and children sat separately. Fang Nuo was about to take the waiter over from Shen Gongqi. He said, "You can take Yaya to eat. The waiter is neither hungry nor fussy now. I can just hold him."
