Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if the material supply there was guaranteed, it was still not as good as here in the capital.
Zhao Lei is not at home to celebrate the New Year, but there are still four people in the family celebrating the New Year. Xiao Min’s younger brother Xiao Yi celebrates the New Year with them.
The old couple of the Xiao family and Xiao Min's parents all went to other places, leaving Xiao Yi alone.
In the past, Xiao Min would often go back to take care of his younger brother. His family had a house near Beijing University, and Xiao Min was a day student, so he could take care of his younger brother.
After Xiao Min went to the west, how to take care of Xiao Yi became a problem, and Zhang Yu took over this burden.
Thanks to having such a child, I really put a lot of effort into purchasing New Year’s goods.
We lined up to buy things together early and then pushed the cart back, which really relieved a lot of burden.
Back home from the scrap station, Zhang Yu boiled water to cook dumplings.
Zhao Hong took out melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks, "I don't know how my brother is doing now."
"I don't know if my sister-in-law has a child." Zhao Hong said with a look on her face expectations, "If I have a child, I will be an aunt."
Zhang Yu has always known that as the youngest person in the family, Zhao Hong has always wanted to be a sister and an aunt.
Xiao Yi is younger than her, but she can't stand the fact that this child is really mature and more sensible than Zhao Hong, which makes her always feel like she doesn't have the status of a sister.
"I am an uncle too." Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.
"Yes, when the time comes, you will take care of the children together." Zhang Yu didn't know what their situation was.
In August, I received a letter from them saying that they were safe, saying that they had arrived at the place, and then left an address.
The address of a mailbox number is the location where letters are mailed. Zhang Yu knew at a glance that the letters were gathered in one place, and only after review could they be sent to Zhao Lei and the others.
As for when these letters will reach Zhao Lei and the others, it is unknown.
"I just hope that if your sister-in-law meets the child, everything will go well." Even if they said in the letter that everything was fine and told her not to worry, there was no way they really weren't worried.
Zhang Yu and the others were worried about how Zhao Lei and the others were living. Zhao Lei and the others were so busy that they forgot that today was New Year's Eve. For them, every day was busy. They only found a place to rest when they were tired.
We can even forget the weekly rest days, let alone the Spring Festival, which everyone cannot remember.
That is to say, only after hearing the announcement and having a big dinner together in the evening, did anyone remember that today is New Year's Eve.
Zhao Lei stood at the window and looked towards the capital, "I don't know how my family is doing."
"It should be a family reunion dinner together." Xiao Min was actually a little worried about his younger brother. How is life with my mother-in-law?
Xiao Min felt good during the few days at Zhao's house, but what she thought was good may not necessarily be what her brother thought was good, but she couldn't say it in front of Zhao Lei.
"Yes, my mother will definitely prepare a large table of dishes." Zhao Lei has absolute confidence in Zhang Yu.
During the three years of food shortages, the New Year dinner table was very rich, let alone now, it must be very rich.
Zhao Lei hugged the food on his family’s New Year’s dinner table in previous years, and immediately made his colleagues passing by cry with greed, “Zhao Lei, your New Year’s food is very good.”
“My mother knows how to Fishing, if you catch a fish, exchange it with others," Zhao Lei said generously, "My mother also caught a big fish before and exchanged it for me. A bicycle ticket.”
Zhao Lei’s college classmate also worked in the institute and knew that he had a bicycle when he was in college. “Isn’t it the same bicycle you have been riding?” Zhao Lei nodded, “Yes, that’s right. That part, I wasn’t in junior high school at that time.”
Zhang Yu happily talked about his fishing results, which made everyone envious, "Your mother is really amazing."
"My mother is very powerful, so there is really no shortage of fish in my family. . ”
“My mother is really good. She takes care of me and my sister alone. My sister raised me, and she didn’t say that I should graduate early and work to make money so that I can reduce the burden on my family.”
Zhao Lei thought of his old mother and sister, and other colleagues also thought of their families and talked about them at the dinner table. I didn’t say I missed them, but actually I just missed them.
Xiao Min touched her belly that had not yet appeared. She was originally thinking about where to give birth to the baby. Before, she always thought that she would go back to the capital to give birth alone and whether she would get along with Zhang Yu.
Now she feels that she should go back to confinement. If nothing else, Zhang Yu will definitely be good to their child.
On New Year's Eve, when we didn't work overtime and didn't catch up on schedule, everyone gathered together and chatted for a long time. Later, the seniors spoke and everyone got up and went back to the dormitory.
Xiao Min was lying on the bed, "Xiao Lei, I have thought about it. When I am eight months old, I will return to the capital."
"Have you decided?" Zhao Lei knew Xiao Lei Min wanted to stay here and give birth to a baby. The place had developed in recent years and there was already a clinic, so it would be no problem to give birth to a baby.
But the key problem is that once they get busy, they really can't take care of their children. Even if there is a nursery here, it may not be good for the children.
Xiao Min hummed, "I think our mother will take good care of the children."
"That's necessary, those are her precious grandchildren." Zhao Lei kissed Xiao Min's forehead, "Then we will do it every year Let’s take pictures and mail them back, so that our children will remember how we look.” Ask them who they are.
When he thought of such a scene, Xiao Min felt extremely uncomfortable and a little hard to accept.
Now that I think about it, yes, they can mail the photos, "or let mom take a family photo."
Although it is one piece a year, it is also a thought.
"Yes." Zhao Lei wanted to say, maybe if things go well, they can go back before the child can remember.
When the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them. Don't say that he was not sure. There were so many old-timers, and they had been studying for many years.
If Zhang Yu were here, he would advise not to be anxious. Don’t be anxious even if you stay here for ten years. Although life here is a bit difficult, at least don’t work in the fields.
Once you return to the capital, you may not know how messy it will be, with all kinds of things to take care of.
Zhao Lei and his wife were talking about the future, and Zhang Yu was also talking about them, "I don't know if your sister-in-law has a child."
As a mother-in-law, Zhang Yu couldn't directly ask them if they had any ideas about contraception. , it feels a bit too straightforward.
If it was easy to contact him, he would be able to find out if he had a child through a letter, but now it is not convenient to contact him, and Zhang Yu didn’t know whether he had a child.
"Forget it, I think we should still prepare." There is nothing wrong with preparing some things early.
Even if she can’t use it now, she has an intuition that she will be able to use it in the next few years.
Cotton needs to be prepared, as well as diapers. It’s really overwhelming just thinking about it, there are so many things to prepare. (End of this chapter)
