After finishing it, he handed the basket to Shen Gongqi and said, "You go and deliver it to the three families that you often visit. It's considered a gift from us."
"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I go. You go and chat with them in the room," Shen Gongqi said.
"Yeah, go ahead." Fang Nuo watched him go out, then returned to the room to continue chatting with a few people.
It didn't take long for Shen Gongqi to come back and bring back some gifts in return.
After he returned to the house and looked after the child, Fang Nuo went to the kitchen to cut the melons and watermelons picked in the afternoon, put them in basins and brought them into the house, where everyone chatted and ate.
Back in the house, she said to several people: "Haiyang, Lijuan, when you go back later, remember to take some of the rice dumplings I made. I also prepared some braised meat for you, so you can take them back too. Remember to get it and eat it tomorrow, otherwise it’s too hot now and it will go bad if left for a long time. I’ll put the marinade in a big bowl for you. Eat it first, and come back when it’s gone. I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep it if you take it back.”
After speaking to the Haiyang family, she said to Wang Junyu: "Junyu doesn't open the fire in the dormitory. I'll go and cut up the braised pork in a while. You can also bring some rice dumplings back. The rice dumplings I make are all sweet, and they can be eaten cold." OK"
Wang Lijuan: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law. We are here to celebrate the festival at your house. We don't even talk about eating and drinking, but we also bring food with us. We are a little embarrassed."
Fang Nuo: "What's the point of being embarrassed? I'll have a meal at your house next time and that'll be fine."
Wang Lijuan: "Okay, sister-in-law, next time I call you, you have to come."
Fang Nuo: "As long as you shout, I will go there if nothing happens."
Wang Junyu: "Sister-in-law, please stop pretending. I won't be very busy at work anymore. When I have time, I will come to my house to eat."
Fang Nuo: "Okay, then I'll pack a lunch box for you first. You can take it back and eat it tomorrow. Don't let it go, you know?"
Wang Junyu: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."
Fang Nuo: "We are all one family, why are you so polite?"
After talking to a few people, Fang Nuo let them chat while she went to the kitchen to pack everything she wanted to take away for them.
Use an aluminum lunch box, cut some braised pork and put it in it, and bring it back to Wang Junyu later for easy eating.
After dressing up, I went back to the house and chatted with everyone. ""
The three of them chatted until about seven o'clock. It was getting darker outside, and the three of them got up and said they were going back.
Thinking that it was not safe to go back after dark, Fang Nuo and the others did not leave anyone behind, so they sent them out of the courtyard. After they were far away, the two of them carried the waiter back to the house.
"Let's go to bed early today. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Fang Nuo said as he sat by the kang.
"Well, then I'll bring the hot water over. You and the children should take a bath first, and I'll put away the dishes and then wash them," Shen Gongqi said.
"Don't wash it until you put it in the kitchen. I'll wash it tomorrow. You're also very tired today," Fang Nuo said.
"okay"
The two of them rested early. The next day, Shen Gongqi got up and whispered so as not to wake Fang Nuo up.
He cooked himself a bowl of noodles for breakfast in the kitchen. It was still early to go to work, so he used the water used to cook the noodles to clean the dishes and chopsticks from last night.
For lunch, he cut himself some meat braised by his wife and some skin jelly. He used a small jar with a tight seal to make garlic juice for himself to eat with it.
After packing his lunch, he went out to work.
When Fang Nuo woke up, the place next to him was already cold. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost nine o'clock.
She got up and went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw that Shen Gongqi had washed all the dishes and chopsticks, with a sweet smile on her face.
Fang Nuo's family was in the city, and they spent two years like this.
Every month when Shen Gongqi takes a break, the two of them will go back to the village and stay for three to five days.
Mainly the food grown in the family’s vegetable plot is the source of most of the food their family eats.
During the Chinese New Year, they would also go back to the village Maodong. When the pigs were killed in the village during the Chinese New Year, they would spend money to buy some meat to celebrate the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, Shen Gongqi and Wang Junyu would sneak into the mountains and bring back some non-hibernating prey to make bacon, which would be enough for their families to eat for a while.
In the past two years, the relationship between their family and the Haiyang couple has been very good. During the holidays, everyone would discuss spending them together.
During the Chinese New Year this year, his family came to Fang Nuo’s village to celebrate the New Year with them.
Yaya will be five years old after the Chinese New Year. Fang Nuo plans to send her to school in the second half of the year.
This girl has learned a lot from Fang Nuo at home in the past two years. As she gets older, the small courtyard at home cannot contain her at all.
There is also the second child, who is now a chubby little boy who can jump and run. What he loves most every day is running around with his sister.
Fang Nuo had two people at home, and sometimes his throat became hoarse.
The two children are either disobedient or always want to explore the outside world.
She was alone and usually didn't take her two children out very often. There were a lot of human traffickers in this era, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of them if she took them out. In order to prevent the children from getting anything, she didn't take them out.
Before the Chinese New Year in 1975, Shen Gongqi had a holiday, and his family packed up and prepared to return to the village.
When they heard that they were going back to the village, the two children were very happy.
Waiter: "Mom, are we going back to the village?"
Fang Nuo: "Yes, will you be happy when you go home to celebrate the New Year?"
Waiter: "I'm happy. Then I can go out with my sister and play with Brother Goudan and the others."
Fang Nuo: "You have been thinking about playing every day. Have you finished the homework I assigned you today?"
When the waiter heard his mother mention his homework, his face suddenly fell.
I still don’t know if I followed Shen Gongqi and didn’t like studying since he was a child.
When she taught Yaya in the past, it was Yaya who took the initiative, so she thought that the child would be a little over three years old.
So in the second half of this year, when the second child turned three, Fang Nuo began to teach him how to read and count.
But this kid couldn't sit still at all. He just sat there for two minutes. Either he felt uncomfortable or itched somewhere.
At first, Fang Nuo thought he was really uncomfortable, but after a while, he realized that there was nothing wrong with him and he just didn't want to study.
But you have to say that he doesn't like to study. This little guy learns everything very quickly, but he doesn't like to write homework. He understands everything, but he just can't sit still and doesn't like to write.
As soon as Fang Nuo saw his expression, he knew that he must not have written anything and said, "Go and see what sister is doing. I will check your homework tomorrow."
Waiter: "Okay, then mom, I'm going to find my sister."
"Well, go ahead"
After the child went outside to find his sister, Fang Nuo continued to pack things to take back to the village.
She hasn't gotten pregnant again in the past two years. It's not that she can't give birth, but that she and Shen Gongqi took measures.
Fang Nuo had already thought about it when he gave birth to Xiao Er.
She thought that when the college entrance examination resumed in 2077, Yaya and Xiaoer would be sent to school, so that their family would just pick them up and drop them off, so that she and Shen Gongqi could go to college with peace of mind.
