There are also Hu Lao and Uncle Rong, and they all have one.

Uncle Rong's down jacket was brought to him when Baoshan went to the county seat, and Baoshan came back and said to Gu Yijia: "Grandpa Rong likes it very much, he said that the little aunt likes the bacon sausage he makes, and he will collect more meat this year and make it into bacon and sausage for the little aunt to taste." ”

Gu Yijia was very moved when he heard this, and after a few years of getting along, although they and Uncle Rong were not related by blood, they were also as close as relatives, and they did not forget to give each other a copy of any good things they had for each other.

On Hu Lao's side, Gu Yijia and Feng Rin personally sent it over.

"This is a down jacket?" Hu Lao touched it curiously, picked it up again, and found it incredibly light.

Gu Yijia smiled: "Grandpa Hu also knows about down jackets? ”

"Why don't you know? Now, a lot of doctors are talking about down jackets, saying that they are better than military coats and that they are warmer to wear. ”

He put on the down jacket, his body quickly warmed up, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a good thing, it is light and fluttering on the body, and it no longer presses people uncomfortable." ”

As he grew older, the flesh and blood on his body gradually lost out, and he was as thin as a handful of bones, and every winter when he wrapped himself in a military coat, he felt that the coat was uncomfortably heavy, and his body was not much warmer.

The down jacket is really comfortable to wear.

Taking advantage of coming to Grandpa Hu's place, Feng Rin said to him: "Grandpa Hu, Jiajia and I are going back to Beijing for the New Year this year, do you want to go with us?" ”

Hu Lao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I won't go to toss, you can go back." ”

"Then Grandpa Hu will go to my brother's place for the New Year." Gu Yijia said that she didn't want Grandpa Hu to stay alone in the dormitory of the hospital for the New Year.

Hu Lao didn't agree or refuse, and said with a smile: "There are still two months before the New Year, so don't be in a hurry." ”

Kyo City.

When the guards brought in a package, Guan Ji and Commander Feng were used to it, and knew that it was their youngest son and daughter-in-law who had sent something over.

The other sons and daughters don't send things, but they are busy with work, and they have many children and need to raise children, so they send fewer things, and they are all sent during the New Year's holidays. Unlike the little daughters-in-law, it may be that they have no children, they are relatively idle, they will make money, they always take care of the two elders, and they will send them if they have any good things, but it doesn't matter if they are celebrating the New Year or the holidays.

Guan Ji said with great interest: "I don't know what Jiajia sent to us this time, this package seems to be quite big." ”

She checked it with her hand and found that although the package was large, it was really not heavy.

Commander Feng said: "Could it be a woolen sweater?" ”

In the past two years, my daughter-in-law sent them several sweaters that she had knitted by herself every winter.

Guan Ji opened it and found that in addition to some mountain goods, there were also two thick clothes, which looked thick, but they were really not heavy at all, and they were light and fluttering in his hand.

Commander Feng looked at it over and over again, but he didn't understand what was filled in the clothes, why it was so light.

Jiajia said that it was filled with duck down. Guan Ji replied while reading the letter from his daughter-in-law, "It is characterized by being light, but it is very warm, warmer than a military coat." ”

"Eiderdown?" Commander Feng was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the answer.

Guan Ji was already trying it on with great interest, and she walked around the room for a while, and soon felt hot, and found that she seemed to be dressed a lot. She looked down at the clothes on her body, obviously the same as what she usually wears, where is it, but wrapped in a down jacket, she really feels warm.

So she took off her warm woolen sweater and put it back on her down jacket, and found that her whole body was much lighter, and it was not cold, and she immediately understood the advantages of a down jacket.

"Lao Feng, this down jacket is really good!" She was pleasantly surprised.

Commander Feng also put it on, and also experienced its goodness, and his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but think of those soldiers stationed in the most difficult places.

With this stuff, they wouldn't be so hard.

The couple was very satisfied with the down jacket and felt very novel.

Then they continued to read the letter, and Guan Ji found that the little daughter-in-law also talked very intimately about how to deal with duck feathers and how to make down jackets in the letter, and she did not hide her secrets at all.

She handed the letter to Commander Feng.

After reading it, Commander Feng sighed, "Our old son's vision is really good. ”

I actually married such a good girl.

Guan Ji said proudly: "Yes, if it weren't for our old son, where could there be such a caring and capable daughter-in-law?" ”

What's wrong with not being able to give birth?

Guan Ji has never been the kind of person who must have children to pass on her ancestry, she is enlightened, and the value of a woman should not be whether she can give birth or not, but what she does, what she brings to the country and society, and what value she creates.

Even if she is only building the country with her meager efforts, it is good.

After reading the letter from his little daughter-in-law, Commander Feng finally opened the letter from his youngest son.

This is the habit of the husband and wife, and anyway, their son's letters are all about that virtue, and they only have a few words of greeting, as if writing a few more words will kill him, and they are tired of reading it, and they don't want to read it.

It's better to read the letter from the younger daughter-in-law.

Her letters are just like herself, always with a bit of playfulness and liveliness, even if it is a very ordinary little thing in life, she can write wittily, people can't help but want to laugh, and when she receives her letters, she is full of anticipation.

This also made Guan Jidu and his daughter-in-law pen pals, and exchanged letters a lot a month.

This time, however, Feng Rin added an extra sentence to the letter.

Commander Feng said in surprise: "Comrade Lao Guan, your son said that he will return to Beijing with Jiajia during the Chinese New Year this year. ”

"Really?!" Guan Ji grabbed it with surprise on his face, and sure enough, he saw his son talking about it in the letter.

She was pleasantly surprised, but soon became worried, "When the weather is too cold, it will take three days and two nights to take the train, will Jiajia be able to survive?" ”

Commander Feng said: "Isn't there a down jacket, this thing is warm, it should be fine." And you have to believe our son, since he decided to bring Jiajia back for the New Year, Jiajia's body should be able to withstand it. ”

Guan Ji thought about it, and also felt that he was worrying.

The youngest son cares about Jiajia, and she still knows how much she is a mother, and if Jiajia's body is not suitable for long-distance travel, he will definitely not agree.

Thinking that this year's Chinese New Year, the youngest son and little daughter-in-law are going to come back for the New Year, Guan Ji is very happy.

She stood up, "No, I'm going to call and ask the eldest child, the second child and the third child if they can also come back for the New Year this year, and then our family can be reunited." ”

For so many years, because of the children's work, there will be fewer people every year for the New Year, and sometimes only the old couple will celebrate the New Year together.

It is rare that the youngest son will bring his daughter-in-law back this year, and it would be even better if several children also came back.

Chapter 188

Since the beginning of winter, there has been heavy snow and light snow.

But people who live here are used to snow in the winter, and if it gets too heavy, schools will be closed early and factories will be shut down, so everyone can stay home and rest.

However, this year, with down jackets, everyone felt that going out was actually not so difficult, especially those patrolling soldiers, walking in the heavy snow, they felt much easier.

On the snowy days, the troops began to busily send people to the disaster relief again.

In the absence of head Feng, Gu Yijia took Zhuang Yijia to live at his brother and sister-in-law's house.

The main reason is that Camp Commander Xu is not at home, and Zhuang Yijia is a pregnant woman at home, and everyone is not at ease, so let's bring it to Commander Gu's house as they did last year.

There were two pregnant women at home, and her brother was not there, so Gu Yijia cheered up and decided to take good care of them.

As a result, Chen Aifang slapped her back.

"Okay, okay, you and Xiaozhuang go to catch up with the manuscript, I'll do whatever you want to eat." Chen Aifang held her belly for six months, and she still worked neatly, not like a pregnant woman at all.

Gu Yijia looked at her hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, are you tired? Would you like to take a break? ”

"Tired?" Chen Aifang laughed, "I'm just pregnant, and I didn't do any hard work, it's still okay to cook."

She was a girl from the countryside, and when she gave birth to Baoshan Baohua, she was not working from pregnancy to giving birth, and she didn't feel anything. And now because of the snow, I stay at home all day, there is nothing to do, and cooking is really nothing.

Gu Yijia was still not very relieved, and called Baohua and said, "Baohua, you have to keep an eye on your mother, if there is anything, remember to call me." ”

Baohua nodded and said sensibly: "Little aunt, don't worry, Dad is not here, I will take care of you." ”

The seven-year-old girl is already very sensible, and she knows that her father and brother are not at home, so she has to take care of her mother and aunt by herself.

By the way, there is also Aunt Zhuang, who is also pregnant with a baby.

The weather is cold, everyone generally eats the pot, that is, no matter what the dish, throw a pot of stew, and then around the fire, while cooking and eating, so that not only warm, but also do not have to worry about the dish will be cold.

While eating, Chen Aifang suddenly said: "I don't know how Baoshan is doing in the county seat." ”

There was no holiday in the county seat, and classes were still held as usual, but Yibaoshan did not come back.

Gu Yijia said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Uncle Rong will take care of Baoshan." ”

In her opinion, Uncle Rong is very reliable, of course, Uncle Rong is old now, Baoshan can also accompany him, if Uncle Rong has something, Baoshan can also help in time.

Chen Aifang thought about it, felt that she was right, and nodded silently.

It had been snowing for several days in a row, and when the snow finally stopped, Gu Yijia and Baohua went out with a shovel to shovel the snow in front of their house, so as not to block the door and make it inconvenient to enter and exit.

It's just that the two of them are weak and small, and they have shoveled a lot of snow, and they work slowly, like grinding foreign workers, which makes people look straight and shake their heads.

The neighbors around couldn't look at it and came over to help them shovel the snow.

Seeing this, Chen Aifang took out the yellow rice cakes she had made and shared them with everyone to eat, thanking them for their help.

The hot yellow rice cake is particularly soft and sweet, and the aroma of chestnut is very delicious, which is Chen Aifang's best snack.

After everyone ate the yellow rice cake, they said with a smile: "Ai Fang, you are pregnant with a child now, and the head of Gu and Baoshan are not at home, where can Jiajia and Baohua do such menial work!" Don't worry, when we come out to shovel snow, we'll help you shovel the snow at the door. ”

Chen Aifang did not refuse their kindness, and said with a smile: "Then trouble your sisters-in-law, when Lao Gu comes back, I will let him come over Thank you, you can also ask him to help if you have anything." ”

Everyone laughed too, "What's the matter, everyone is a neighbor." ”

While he was talking, a sister-in-law came running over in a hurry, panting.

When she saw Gu Yijia, she shouted, "Jiajia, Meixia is about to give birth!" ”

Gu Yijia's hand trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Sister Meixia now, has Head Yu returned?" ”

"Where did Regiment Leader Yu come back so early! Now we're looking for someone to take her to the health post, and she's calling me to come and tell you...... I still have to go and tell Director Song that I will go first! ”

After the sister-in-law finished speaking, she hurriedly went to Master Fang's house to find Song Yuemei to report the news.

Gu Yijia didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly turned her head to her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go see Sister Meixia first." ”

Chen Aifang responded and shouted, "Be careful...... Baohua, go with your little aunt. ”

Although the snow stopped at this time, there was snow everywhere on the road, and I was worried that Gu Yijia would accidentally fall in a panic, so I still asked my daughter to follow her over to take a look.

Compared with Gu Yijia, Chen Aifang still believes in her daughter, although she is young, she is very clever and reliable at critical times.

Baohua followed Gu Yijia and took her hand and ran towards Head Yu's house together.

When they arrived at the head of Yu's house, they found that everyone was pushing Fang Meixia to the health station on a board cart.
