Chapter 33 Bedtime Activities
Both of them were originally in the field, but after this year's reform, their work units have been institutionally integrated and separated from the functional departments and the front line of production. The first line of production stays in place, and the functional departments are relocated to the southwest of the city, and now that area is the functional departments and family areas of the former military industrial system and related units, and the development is not bad, not too far from the city, and there are fixed round-trip shuttle buses every day for free.
Liu Jianmin's wife went back to her house to pack some things, and then went to her parents' house.
In the evening, her eldest brother and sister-in-law came over to talk to her parents after dinner, and happened to talk about Chen Xin.
"That girl is not simple, to be honest, I admire her very much. Liu Jianmin's brother-in-law said this very sincerely, "Such a girl who has just come of age resolutely takes on raising her nephew who is only half a year old, and she is better off than most people, in terms of heart and ability, she is far beyond her peers." ”
"Yes, when I went to inquire in the morning, our colleague said that many people in the community over there knew about this aunt and nephew, and the development of the snack street over there in C University also had her share of credit at first, and now the two members of the Tie family are full of praise for Chen Xin. ”
"Even so, I heard that her homework was also good, and she was able to take on some translation work soon after entering school, and later became a guest writer for a magazine in Guangzhou. By the way, Mom, it's the magazine you like to read, doesn't it have an introduction to the customs and delicacies of various places, and a large part of the food-related content is from her. ”
The old man of their family smashed his mouth, nodded and smiled: "This kid is a good person." Able!"
Liu Jianmin's brother-in-law glanced at each other, didn't say anything about his sister's dislike of others, only turned the topic to other aspects, and at the end, Liu Jianmin's brother-in-law seemed to unconsciously open his mouth and instructed, so that the two old people should pay attention when they go out.
"Sister Ruan, the finance department of our unit, said that the elderly in several places in the south have been fooled, and not only the elderly, but even teachers and doctors have been deceived. If you go out and encounter this situation, you must walk away as soon as possible, there is no good thing in the world that is not earned without hard work. ”
When the two of them were changing their shoes at the door, they specially told the old man a few words, and they didn't say a word of investment to his sister from beginning to end. But his sister immediately thought of Komatsu's investment project, I don't know if she was too careful, and always felt that the eldest brother was warning her.
Chen Xin didn't know what happened to Liu Jianmin's house, and she didn't want to know.
The communication with Liu Chunyan is very smooth, everyone is a simple person, and the matter is clearly explained on the table. And although Liu Chunyan's man doesn't know much about this, he trusts his wife very much and supports any decision he makes.
After the four of them went to have dinner, they went back to their respective homes, Liu Chunyan sent an invitation to Chen Xin and Cheng Jie, and asked them to go to their county to play when the apricot blossoms bloomed in March, saying that there was a mountain on the outskirts of the city full of apricot blossom forests, which was particularly beautiful, and there were farm dishes to eat.
Chen Xin was very interested in this, anyway, she had Liu Chunyan's phone, so she said that she would make an appointment with her in advance to feel the poetry of the apricot blossoms and spring rain falling on her head in Liu Chunyan's mouth.
After going back, Chen Xin felt that she had solved a hidden big trouble, and she was in a very good mood, plus she threw Zhang Zhang to Cheng Jie's house for dinner in the afternoon.
What you want to eat at night can't be the kind that is not good for digestion. I happened to buy a yam at the vegetable market, she quickly peeled and cut it into pieces, washed it, and then steamed it in a pot.
While steaming the yams, I took out the orange jam and cherry jam I made from the refrigerator. Marmalade is made by boiling peeled and seeded oranges with rock sugar. Two-thirds of the cherry jam is removed from the seeds, and then the pectin is broken with a grinder, sugared, pickled and boiled, and the large cherries that are not broken are only coarsely cut in the process of boiling, and after cooling, the cherry fruits of the flesh can still be eaten in the cherry jam, and the steamed bread is excellent.
The jam was thick, and she had to add juice to mix it. The marmalade is made with just a little water, lemon juice and syrup boiled in rock sugar. Cherry jam needs to be boiled again and a little lemon juice is added, because cherima is already sweeter than marmalade.
After the jam is ready, the yam is steamed. Take it out and cool it, and then crush it vigorously with a spoon in a clean, water-free and oil-free basin, and mix it with the soda from the bowl when steaming the yam just now. After making sure that there were no coarse particles, Chen Xin put the pureed yam, which was a little thinner than the one she usually eats in the restaurant, into two small glass bowls, and poured jam on each of them, one sprinkled with a little frosting and the other with a cherry, and put it on the face of the little fat man.
The little fat man felt that it was too difficult to choose, stared left and right for a long time, blinked his big eyes and discussed with Chen Xin if he could eat half of each of the two bowls.
"Auntie, let's divide the meal. ”
Looking at the well-behaved little fat man, Chen Xin nodded in agreement, and then scooped a spoonful of each of the two bowls of mashed yam into her own bowl.
She actually didn't make a lot of it, and basically even if she ate both bowls, she wouldn't let the little fat man hold it up. But at the same time, she is also paying attention to cultivating the awareness of the little fat man to share with others, so she is never used to eating alone with the little fat man.
After eating the mashed yam, the little fat man obediently went to the yard to brush his teeth and wash his face, and waited for his aunt to bring hot water to wash his feet. After a series of bedtime work, he obediently climbed into bed and asked Chen Xin to read him a story.
In addition to the daily behavior, the story time every night is also an excellent educational channel for the little fat man.
The stories that Chen Xin read to the little fat man are all very meaningful fables, and will also guide the little fat man to understand the meaning of the story, although the little fat man is only more than two years old, but in terms of understanding, many three- and four-year-old children are not as good as him.
Chen Xin never felt that the little fat man was a genius, he just carried out preschool education earlier than other children, and cultivated understanding earlier, and these abilities will be cultivated and accepted by children from more than one year old in the future.
The little fat man himself is also very happy to learn, his endless questions are usually answered by his aunt, and then if he can't answer them, he will write them down in a small notebook, and when he understands them later, he will write down his answers. Such a small book, my aunt prepared five for him, and now I have used almost half of it, and the little fat man has a special sense of achievement, but he is also very dissatisfied. Because less than one-tenth of the questions recorded in this half of the book have been answered.
Auntie told him that he could get answers to these questions from books, but that he needed to find them himself, because Auntie had a lot of other things to do and couldn't help him. So the little fat man's birthday wish this year is to grow up quickly, read books quickly, and then find out the answers to all the questions he wants to know.
