Chapter 36: The Child Who Left Home
Li Manjiang's experience naturally failed to affect Chaoying's good mood, and he stayed at his mother-in-law's house for a few days, and several people prepared to take the train back to Province D on the morning of the 21st day of the first lunar month. On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, Chaoying and Lin Ningning took their sister-in-law Gu Changan to the market for a stroll, planning to buy some Yucheng specialties and go back, just to give to relatives and friends.
Yucheng has a lot of Korean residents, so it is rich in pancakes and kimchi.
In the end, the few people bought two large stacks of pancakes and a dozen jars of kimchi before they stopped. Of course, I can't let my sister-in-law Chang'an run with him in vain, and the two sisters-in-law took Gu Chang'an to the mall to buy clothes, two snow-white shirts, and a small suit jacket that Lin Ningning bought, a set of sportswear and a pair of sneakers that Chaoying bought. Of course, while buying it for my sister-in-law, Chaoying did not forget that her sister was super beautiful. Gu Changan and Chen Chaomei are of similar age, height and weight, so Chaoying bought her sister sportswear and shoes of the same size.
At noon, a few people went to the Chao Dog Meat Restaurant to eat cold noodles and rice.
In the afternoon, Gu Weidong rode a bicycle to take Chaoying back to his parents' home.
"Mom, we'll have a look at the train tomorrow morning, before we leave. ”
"Hey, then I'll cook and make your favorite omelet. ”
Chen Chaoying's picky eater has been a picky eater since she was a child, and Chen's mother Liu Guiqin took the trouble to change her tricks to cook things for Chaoying to eat, among which Chaoying's favorite food is egg cakes with egg sugar and flour. Chen's mother never forget.
"It's super beautiful, my sister bought you a set of sportswear and sneakers. Let's see if you like it or not. ”
Chen Chaomei is used to talking quickly, but she is still a little shy about her sister's concern. However, seeing the blue and white sportswear and white shoes still can't hide the love.
Of course, this made his younger brother Chen Ziqiang complain for a while, saying that his sister and brother-in-law were partial and favored women over men, and in the end, Gu Weidong agreed to take his brother-in-law to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a bunch of delicious food.
After dinner, I heard Chen's mother say that my grandfather's health was much better, and Chaoying left with confidence, and before leaving, Chaoying secretly gave her sister a hundred yuan, telling her sister to be kind to herself at school and not to be reluctant to spend money.
Chaoying knew that if she gave the money to Chen's mother, Chen's mother would definitely refuse to accept it in every possible way. Of course, Chaomei did not refuse her sister's money, because Chaomei knew that the school's tuition and miscellaneous expenses had to be spent a lot on the family, and with this money, she could ask for less money at school and reduce the burden on her parents.
In the end, when Chaoying left, Chen's mother took the packed egg cake to Chaoying.
"Chaoying, here is the egg cake, this bag is tea eggs and small twist flowers, all made at home, just right to eat on the road. Your mother-in-law will also prepare food for you, so your mother doesn't have much to eat. I'll do it for you when you come back next time. Looking at the bulging three big bags, and listening to what Chen's mother said, it seems that every mother is afraid that her child's mouth is small. With full of emotion, Chaoying and Gu Weidong got on their bicycles and went home.
When he returned to Gu's house, it was already six o'clock in the evening, Lin Ningning was packing his luggage, Gu Weiguo and his father were chatting while drinking tea in the living room, but Gu's mother was not outside.
"Dad, where's my mother?" Chaoying asked Gu's father curiously.
"Your mother is in the kitchen, and she said she was going to make you something to eat on the way. Father Gu replied. He asked Gu Weidong to sit down and talk for a while. Presumably because there are many people in the family during the Chinese New Year, I have never had the opportunity to talk to my sons about work, so I have to explain before my son leaves.
Chaoying came to the kitchen and asked, "Mom, what are you going to eat?"
"I've braised some chicken feet and pig's trotters for you, and I've baked some bread. Leave you on the road to eat. Gu Mu said, but the movements in her hands never stopped.
"Mom, what's in this pot?"
"Ah, this is camellia noodles, I learned it from my colleagues in our unit, you can eat it with hot water, quench your thirst and be hungry. Gu's mother added some walnut kernels, sunflower seeds and cooked sesame seeds to the fried noodles, which was fragrant and appetizing.
Gu Changan, who was also in the house, was also attracted by this aroma.
"What's delicious Mom cooking?"
"The fried oil tea noodles for your brother and sister-in-law, keep them for eating on the road. ”
"Then I'll help you taste it and see if it's delicious. ”
After speaking, he picked up a small bowl, mixed it with hot water and sugar, and ate it.
"Chaoying, you and your sister-in-law should also have a taste and see how well I learned. ”
In the end, the family who had eaten had a bowl of oil tea noodles and drank it slowly.
Seeing the sweetness of the family's food, Gu's mother also showed a satisfied smile.
The family chatted for a while, and of course it was an inevitable topic to give birth.
"You two should pay attention to your body when you go back, let Weidong and Weiguo do it if you have work, remember not to take medicine for half a year, and if your body feels wrong, you should go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible......" In the end, I really couldn't stand Gu's mother's nagging, Chaoying and Gu Weidong fled on the grounds that things had not been cleaned up, leaving Gu Weiguo and Lin Ningning to continue to accept the torment of love from their mother.
After Chaoying returned to the house, he put the specialties he brought to his friends and the mushroom fungus, hazelnuts and pine nuts prepared by Gu's mother into a big bag, and put the clothes of himself and Gu Weidong, as well as the cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton shoes made at home into a big bag. Packed up his things and took the bag to the living room to fill the food, looking at the food prepared by the two mothers on the coffee table to take the train, the two mothers prepared six bags of food, Chaoying thought that fortunately it was only a nine-hour train ride, if it took longer, it is estimated that the two mothers would give the food at home to the children.
But Chaoying also knows that this is the parents, they would rather not eat themselves, but also leave everything they think is good to their children, this is the father's love and mother's love to dedicate everything without asking for anything in return.
Chaoying and Lin Ningning packed up their food and packed two more big bags. Let Gu Weidong go again, and take the luggage in his house to the living room. By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Gu's mother urged the children to go to sleep, and the family dispersed.
At three o'clock the next morning, Gu's mother got up to wrap the dumplings again, and when Chaoying and them got up, Gu's mother's dumplings were already out of the pot.
"It is said that you can get on the car and get off the car, you will leave today, so I wrapped some dumplings, I hope you can work smoothly this year, and your life will be smooth. ”
Watching the children eat the dumplings into their stomachs, Gu's mother was full of smiles.
"Well, Mom, when the weather is warm, you can ask for leave to visit us, and we will take you out to play when the time comes. Gu Weiguo said to Gu's mother.
Xu Xiuqing echoed her son's words: "If Ning Ning and Chaoying can get pregnant this year, I will retire early and take care of your children." ”
In order not to disappoint his mother, several people naturally said yes in a row.
After breakfast, Gu's father, Gu's mother, and sister-in-law Chang'an sent the four of them to the station together, until the train whistle clanged and walked away, and the family was still waving goodbye, and goodbye would take at least a year.
