Aunt Dahua: "You haven't been locked up in the city for a long time. If you and Gong Qi weren't still young, my aunt would have wanted to persuade you to live at home with your children. The place here is wider, and there are children of the same age. , usually you take them out and go play by yourself, there is no need to worry about anything at all.
But you and Gong Qi are still young. It’s not good for the couple to be separated for a long time. If there is a place to live in the city, it’s better for the family to live together.”
Fang Nuo: "I understand what Auntie said. This is not for the sake of the family. But next year Yaya can be sent to school. I can also take the waiter out for a walk during the day."
Aunt Dahua: "Yaya will only turn five next year, why are you sent to school?"
Fang Nuo: "You're not too young anymore. Let's go to preschool for one year first. Then when you turn six, you can go to first grade."
Aunt Dahua: "That's pretty much it. By the way, Xiao Nuo, did Jun Yu tell you that he just came back that day?"
Fang Nuo: "Maybe today and tomorrow. Yesterday Brother Qi asked him if he wanted a piece, and he said he would come back after buying some things."
Aunt Dahua: "That's right, this guy must be avoiding me nagging him about finding a partner."
Fang Nuo: "Auntie, are you starting to worry now? I remember Jun Yu is still young."
Aunt Dahua: "Xiao Xiao, he is already twenty-five this year. I am not thinking about letting him get married early so that he can have hot food to eat when he goes home. That boy is so good. Let me leave first. worry"
Only then did Fang Nuo realize that Wang Junyu was older than him. At this age and in this era, he was indeed old enough.
But she couldn't say anything about the marriage of another son.
He could only advise: "Since he has said so, then don't worry about it, Auntie. I think Jun Yu himself is a thoughtful person. He might bring your daughter-in-law back that day."
Aunt Dahua: "Now I can only wait, otherwise I have said everything, but the boy is not willing, and I will not care about it later, otherwise I will make myself angry."
Fang Nuo: "It's good that Auntie can be more open-minded. By the way, brother Junzhong and sister-in-law are coming back to celebrate the New Year this year, right?"
Aunt Dahua: "I don't know yet. Your uncle just sent a letter to ask them a few days ago, but he hasn't received a reply yet. They just had a baby this year, and the baby is still too young. I don't really want them to When you come back, take care of your children first. There will be many opportunities after returning home for the New Year.”
Fang Nuo: "It's a younger brother. I thought if it was a younger sister, they would be considered "good" together."
Aunt Dahua said with a smile: "No, your sister-in-law is still thinking about having a daughter in the future. She prefers daughters over there. The boy is too naughty."
The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Dahua went back first.
Fang Nuo also got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
After steaming the staple food first, I heard the sound of Yaya and the waiter coming back from the yard.
"Dad, Mom, we're back," the waiter started shouting as soon as he entered the yard.
When Shen Gongqi heard that the children were back, he was always the first to respond: "They're back. Come on, Dad, first check if the clothes are dirty and wash your hands first."
The two children were taken into the house by Shen Gongqi to clean up, while Fang Nuo continued to prepare the dishes.
Not long after, Yaya washed her hands and ran to the kitchen to look for her.
Yaya: "Mom, brother Goudan told me today that he will be in second grade next year, and he said there are many schools?"
"Next year Yaya will be able to go to school and play with other children," Fang Nuo said.
"Really? Then Yaya should prepare books and discuss and study with her classmates" Yaya said happily
Fang Nuo saw her happy and couldn't bear to hit her.
The texts she is studying now are already third grade books. If she goes to school to discuss this with her preschool classmates, other children will be in pain.
The family returned home to Maodong and participated in the village killing pigs and dividing the meat and catching fish.
Laba cooked Laba porridge. On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Haiyang family came to the village.
As soon as her little Doudou came, she would play with her sister Yaya and her little brother. In this weather, no matter how deep the snow was outside, the children started pestering their father early in the morning to clear the snow in the yard, and then they Run outside and play with other kids.
Fang Nuo was afraid that the two little ones would be cold, so he asked them to call their friends to play at home. Shen Gongqi and Haiyang would clean up the snow in the front yard every day. The children would be kicked out after playing in the yard for a while. He went inside to warm himself by the fire, and drank a bowl of boiled ginger water to ward off the cold.
Wang Lijuan's belly is already very big now, and the two of them were knitting sweaters on the kang in the house that day.
Fang Nuo looked at her belly and asked, "Are you about to give birth?"
Wang Lijuan: "Well, the baby is due in half a month."
Fang Nuo: "If I had known you were so big, we should have celebrated the New Year in the city. It would have been inconvenient to come to the village."
Wang Lijuan: "If we are in the city, we won't come over to celebrate the New Year. I just like the environment in your village, so I agreed to come over to celebrate the New Year."
Fang Nuo: "When winter comes in this village, everything is completely white. What's there to see?"
Wang Lijuan: "That's much better than the city. At least it's quiet in the village and there's a lot more space for the children to play. Besides, after coming to your house, I can feel more relaxed. I have Yaya to help me carry Doudou. But it’s a big bargain.”
Fang Nuo smiled at what she said, and listened to the sounds of a few children playing in the yard and said: "That's all the good in the village. After I come back, I can let them go out to play without worries. In the city, I can take two I don’t even dare to let my children go out.”
Wang Lijuan: "Yes, I don't dare to do it now. Sister-in-law, let me tell you, in the area where we live, two families lost their children some time ago, a boy and a girl. The boy's family still has the child. I'm looking for it, but there's no news at all.
The girl's house was searched for just a few days after she was lost, but then she gave up. I heard that her mother-in-law is urging them to have a son as soon as possible."
Fang Nuo really didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen around her. She had only heard that there were many kidnappers in this era.
This time she heard about the real loss of children. She felt sad for those who lost their children, and thought that she should be more careful about her two children in the future.
A few days passed quickly, and it was the New Year's Day.
Several people got up early in the morning, made breakfast and had a good rest.
Shen Gongqi took Haiyang and Wang Junyu into the mountains. Fang Nuo and Wang Lijuan were at home, so they made the dough and steamed the buns first.
Next, chop the fillings for making dumplings and roll them out into the wrappers.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Gongqi and the others came back. This time they had a big harvest. They had six pheasants and three rabbits. The rabbits were quite fat. I guess it was because it was cold in winter and they didn't move much. The flesh on this body is quite thick.
