Most of the things that Father Qiao and the others brought were placed on the side of the small courtyard, except for their personal luggage.

After a lecture, he asked Qiao Hongzhi to take this group of nephews to the courtyard on the other side to settle down, and then what to do, play, and eat were all arranged by Qiao Hongzhi.

Qiao Hongzhi was assigned a task by Qiao's father, and he was really depressed, he would rather play by himself than take this group of people to play, he was too tired.

As soon as Qiao Jiayue got out of school on Thursday afternoon, she didn't have time to go back to the dormitory and ran to the courtyard.

As soon as she returned to the small courtyard, she saw Qiao Sigu squatting next to the well to wash.

"Fourth aunt, you're here. Qiao Jiayue called happily, and then saw Qiao's mother coming out of the kitchen, and the familiar fragrance came from the air, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Yue'er is back. Qiao Sigu raised her head and said with a smile, she wiped her hands on her apron, and wanted to help Qiao Jiayue take the net bag in her hand.

"Fourth aunt, it's okay, I'll take it myself, it's not heavy. Qiao Jiayue said and leaned over to Qiao's mother's side, "Auntie, I miss you so much." ”

Qiao's mother smiled, "It's because you want me to cook, go wash your hands, you can eat it later." ”

Qiao Jiayue went to the well to help Qiao Sigu wash vegetables, and at this time, the door of the small courtyard opened again, and Qiao Hongliang and Yan Danfeng walked in.

She thought happily that tonight's dinner must be rich and lively.

Qiao Sigu glanced at Qiao Hongliang and Yan Danfeng, nodded at them, and went into the kitchen to help.

She asked Qiao's mother in a low voice: "Xiaoliang's daughter-in-law's belly is not small, it looks like she is about to give birth." ”

Qiao's mother nodded: "It's about June in the Western calendar, and I'll come over to give her confinement at that time." ”

Qiao Sigu calculated the time, this was obviously conceived before getting married, but she didn't say anything, there are some things in her heart, there is no need to break it.

"Their living habits in the north are different from ours, what can they eat in this confinement?" Qiao Sigu asked, in fact, her meaning is also simple, if people have their own mothers, they will definitely be more willing to ask their own mothers to serve the confinement.

"I'm not coming, can the two old men take care of the mother and child?" Qiao's mother knew Qiao Sigu's consideration, "At that time, she will have to eat even if she is not used to eating, at most I will learn more about the taste of the capital city." ”

"That's right. Qiao Sigu thought, everyone hasn't started to live a good life yet, and the girls in Beijing should not be squeamish than them.

Qiao's mother and Qiao's fourth aunt made a large table of dishes together, but the people at the table did not arrive.

Qiao Jiayue looked at it and asked strangely: "Auntie, what about my father, my fourth uncle, and my eldest brother?"

"The Deng family invited them to dinner, and they won't come back for dinner tonight, your eldest brother has to take care of your cousins and cousins, and he can't get out. Qiao's mother explained.

Qiao Jiayue was a pity when she heard this, after all, tonight's meal was really hearty, with fish and meat.

At the dinner table, Yan Danfeng was taken care of by everyone, and all the good dishes were put into her bowls, piling the bowls like a hill, and she couldn't eat as much as she wanted, so frightened that she hurriedly asked Qiao Hongliang for help.

Qiao Jiayue snickered on the side, not angry because of the whereabouts of her status, Yan Danfeng's belly was the next generation of their family, and she was too concerned.

After dinner, it was already dark, Qiao's father and they hadn't come back yet, Qiao Jiayue and Qiao's mother and Qiao's fourth aunt were sitting in the room chatting.

In the hall, Qiao Hongliang was teaching Yan Danfeng to do radio gymnastics to eliminate food, after all, it was dark and it was not good to walk in the yard.

Qiao's mother took out a box and opened it to see that there were some red paper bags inside, Qiao Jiayue was a little surprised: "Auntie, what is this?"

"It's someone else's makeup for you. Qiao Sigu explained, "Yue'er, can you take it apart?"

Qiao Jiayue recalled, add makeup, look at this red paper bag is so small, is it all money?

In the past, in the brigade, many people would send cloth, shoes and the like to add makeup, on the contrary, it was rare to have money, and only the marriage of a daughter-in-law was a gift.

Qiao Jiayue opened a red envelope, and it turned out to be a silver ring, and she hurriedly looked at Qiao's mother: "Auntie, who gave this is too valuable." ”

The price of silver jewelry is not cheap now.

Qiao's mother glanced at it, "It was sent by your grandmother." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Jiayue was even more surprised when she heard this, her relationship with Grandma Qiao was not deep enough to give a ring.

Qiao Jiayue continued to open the red envelope, most of which were money, ranging from a dime to a dollar.

"Auntie, do you and Abba know who sent these?" After all, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother will return it in the future.

"Yes. Qiao's mother said, but her eyes kept looking into the hall, she saw that Yan Danfeng's whole body seemed to be quite thin today, and she had to ask what the two of them had eaten for a while.

Qiao Jiayue re-wrapped these red paper bags and put them in the box, she probably guessed that she was married far away, and it was not easy for Qiao's father and Qiao's mother to bring other things, so she simply wrapped the money.

At this time, Qiao Sigu took another bag and said to her: "Yue'er, this is a gift from your friends, take a look." ”

Qiao Jiayue was a little puzzled, and took out a lot of things from her bag, a shirt, a pair of embroidered shoes, and a pearl bracelet, which were prepared with heart at first glance.

She continued to touch in her schoolbag, feeling that something was hard, and when she turned it out, she saw that it was two letters, written by Qiao Qiuyue and Qiao Xiaofeng.

The contents of the bag were specially prepared for themselves.

Qiao Jiayue unfolded the letter, read it word by word several times, and then carefully put the envelope away, she was really happy.

Qiao's mother patted Qiao Jiayue's shoulder, "Yue'er will accompany your fourth aunt to talk, and A-Niang will go and talk to your third brother and third sister-in-law." ”

"Oh, okay. Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Sigu put away their things, and the two sat on the kang, on which there was a small plate of sun-dried saltwater peanuts, peel one and put it in their mouths, which could be chewed for a long time.

The unique aroma of salted peanuts slowly diffuses in the mouth, and the fat slowly flows into the stomach along the saliva, making the stomach feel a lot more comfortable.

"Yue'er, I still remember when you were a little man and followed your eldest brother and second brother to the Changshan Brigade. ”

Qiao Sigu pulled Qiao Jiayue to talk about the ancients, no matter who the family was, life was not easy, not only children, but also adults were yellow and thin.

It is rare for her to get pregnant, but she is afraid that the child will not be kept, after all, it is not that there is no miscarriage because the mother is too weak.

Aunt Qiao was not favored by her mother-in-law, things were detained, and she still remembered the small hole under the bed, which helped her hide a lot of food and spend her twins' early years.

She had never thought to get to the bottom of it, but unfortunately, now they had moved out of the old house.

Qiao Jiayue doesn't like to talk about the past, especially in the first few years of rebirth, she is always trembling and full of anxiety.

However, Qiao Sigu took the initiative to bring up this topic, and she couldn't interrupt it, so she had to say a few words appropriately, and slowly lead the topic to other aspects.

Sure enough, the topic of the two soon turned into a blind date for twins.

Qiao Sigu was a little worried, she was really afraid that the twins would learn from Qiao Hongzhi's cousins, and they would not get married at a very old age, so when would she be able to hold her grandchildren?

Qiao Jiayue felt that Qiao Sigu didn't need to worry, in fact, the twins just didn't have their hearts yet, and they were going to get married soon.

She persuaded a few words and didn't say much, after all, Qiao Sigu just complained every day, if she was really in a hurry, she would directly say which girl she fancied, or whose girl was good. I want to talk about "Sixty Farming Fields" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
