Chapter 396: Spring Festival
After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Nian ran out to play crazy with a large group of children, and Wu Wenhua came to call the old lady to go to the regiment headquarters to watch the soldiers' performances first.
Wu Wenhua's mother-in-law doesn't like to go out because she is old, and Xu Xiaowan wants to go back when she sees that she is only one of her age. "I'd better go back, I'm so old and still watching the excitement here, I'm embarrassed."
Wu Wenhua grabbed her and said angrily: "Auntie is really, it's so easy for you to spend the New Year in the army, it's not a pity not to see what the New Year is like in the army." Besides, you're usually busy taking care of them, so it's easy to take a break today......"
Xu Xiaowan was pulled by her and couldn't leave, just as the soldiers' performances began, she sat and looked like she was watching, although it was just some chorus, military sports boxing and other programs, she still watched it with relish.
After watching the show, the soldiers gathered around to make dumplings, and the two and several family members stayed behind to help make dumplings together for a while, and Wu Wenhua took her to Sister-in-law Yang's house to watch TV.
"I'll also buy a TV after the New Year, I went to Lao Yang's house to see it before, such a big square box," Wu Wenhua said while gesturing, "There are people in it acting, it's the same as watching a movie, it's good!" She said with some regret, "I heard that there is a Spring Festival Gala in the New Year, and they are all starred by celebrities, but they are good-looking!" Originally, I wanted to buy it a year ago, but I didn't have a TV ticket, so I didn't buy it, so I had to go to her house to see......"
The two went to Yang's house while talking, only to find that Yang's house was full of people, on the kang and on the ground, and even this person was sitting in the kitchen, and through the open door, they could see the TV on the table in the room.
Xiao Nian and those Tao children were on the kang, staring at the TV with big eyes without blinking, he heard Grandma's voice and looked back, grinned and shouted: "Grandma, I'm here!" ”
Xu Xiaowan smiled and nodded, "Look, don't be naughty!" ”
Sister-in-law Yang smiled and said: "Auntie, sit down, Xiao Nian, this child is very obedient, quite rare." He also said: "Let Lin Tong come over and watch it, this TV is very good." ”
She looked a little smug when she spoke, she was the first family member of the regiment to buy a TV, and if she could buy a TV, if she wanted her family to have money, this TV set would cost more than 300 yuan. Second, someone has to be able to get a TV ticket.
So,Don't underestimate this TV,It's a big deal.。
Sister-in-law Yang, who was very cautious before, was a little proud.
"Nini is still young, and she doesn't want to join in the fun," Xu Xiaowan is also very good at talking outside, "She said that it was the first time for me to celebrate the New Year in the army, let me come out and go around......"
Sister-in-law Yang smiled: "It's not a fuss, it's just a joy for the New Year, this TV show is also very good-looking, otherwise, I'll pick up the two of them and come over for a while......" Xu Xiaowan was just about to open her mouth, but Sister-in-law Yang's son, who was watching TV inside, was unhappy, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Mom, you are quiet, you can't hear it." ”
Sister-in-law Yang laughed quietly and scolded: "This little rabbit cub ......" but stopped talking.
Xu Xiaowan saw TV for the first time, and her eyes were opened, and she followed the rhythm of the program on TV, but she remembered her home, and when she saw that it was late, she went to call Xiao Nian home.
Xiao Nian was addicted to it, waved his little hand, and said without looking back: "Look at it for a while, grandma!" ”
Xu Xiaowan wanted to go home, but she felt that it was too late and she didn't worry about Xiao Nian, but Wu Wenhua persuaded her: "Auntie, it's rare to watch TV, you can stay for a while!" ”
Xu Xiaowan said in a low voice: "I'm old, I can't stand it for a long time, and I don't have the spirit of you young people." ”
Wu Wenhua thought about it, her own mother-in-law was not, she would rather work at home than go out and walk around. She said, "Then I'll send my aunt back." ”
Xu Xiaowan hesitated a little, "Xiao Nian still wants to see it, or else, I'll wait for him?" ”
"If you don't want to see it, go home, it's so close, and there are so many people, it's still in the family courtyard, auntie, you don't have to worry about Xiao Nian."
She hesitated for a while before saying, "That's okay, then I won't wait for her, and you don't have to send me, I'll just go back by myself for these few steps." ”
Wu Wenhua thought about it, she still wanted to look at it for a while, so she nodded, "Then sister, you go slowly, I won't send you." ”
Xu Xiaowan said in a low voice: "No need to send it, I'll leave first." ”
Although there are no street lights outside, because of the Chinese New Year, red lanterns are hung in front of several houses, and there are several houses that do not hang lanterns, but the door lights in front of the doors are on, but it is not dark.
Xu Xiaowan pushed open the door of her house, the lights in the east room were already dark, and it seemed that Xiaotong and the child had already slept.
She yawned, went back to the Westinghouse, and just left the light on, and fell asleep a little while. She was sleeping soundly when she heard the door open outside, she opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Nian is back?" ”
Xu Nian was very excited when he watched TV, and now that he finished watching it, he was about to fall asleep when he walked, and he hung his head and hummed listlessly, "It's me, grandma." ”
Xu Xiaowan got up from the bed, "Sleepy, right?" Let's go wash and sleep on the kang! He muttered, "I don't know if your dad has come back?" Is this door hung or kept for him? ”
Xu Nian took off his heels and put on the kang, "If you don't wash it, I'm going to sleep." As she spoke, she fell asleep, and the old lady laughed uncontrollably, this child is really not sleepy and sleepy.
She followed the house and just woke him up, "Come, take off your clothes and go to sleep!" Xu Nian half-asleep cooperated with her to take off her cotton jacket and cotton pants, and as soon as he was stuffed into the quilt, Xu Zhenhua came back.
The old lady saw him lightly plug in the door, lightly scooped up water and washed his face and feet, and then put her mind at ease and went to sleep.
Xu Zhenhua left early the next morning, and today he was going to leave the company.
When Lin Tong woke up again, he saw that he had left, so he asked his mother, "Did he have breakfast?" Sometimes he leaves early, skips breakfast at home, and goes directly to the cafeteria, so as not to have to get up early to cook.
The old lady said, "I pinched a few dumplings for him, and he ate them." ”
Lin Tong sighed and walked around the room with Nini in his arms, followed by Xiao Nian, the little tail.
Xu Zhenhua really loves the profession of a soldier, and after knowing that he can return to the local area without changing jobs, he, who originally regarded the army as his home, greeted the work with unprecedented enthusiasm, and did not rush back from the base company below until the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
He hugged Nini with some guilt, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Nini seems to have grown up a little more." ”
Lin Tong was folding the washed and dried diapers, she craned her neck and looked at her suspiciously: "Really?" I look at it every day, but Nini has eaten more in the past two days than before. ”
Xiao Nian raised his head and said loudly: "I can see it, I can see that my sister is a little bit older than before." He gestured with his hands, looking very serious.
Xu Zhenhua looked at him with a smile, "Yes, my son has the same vision as me." He looked at Xu Nian, "This year, I see that you have also grown a little taller." ”
Xiao Nian's eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "I've grown up, I'm nine years old!" ”
