Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine - Chapter 128

The Spring Festival in 1977 was very lively.

One is that after the end of the campaign, public opinion and atmosphere have relaxed, and everyone is not as cautious as in previous years; secondly, the family area has been full of joy recently, not to mention those who have been admitted to college, and several families have happy sons/girls.

In previous years, most people would keep a low profile whether it was going to school or having a child, but as I said earlier, everyone let it go this year, so Lin Wei and Zong Shao kept entertaining during the Chinese New Year.

After the new year, the sixth day of the first lunar month is Lin Wei’s entrance banquet.

This date was not only decided by Lin Wei and his wife after consultation, but also the result of discussion among several military wives who were admitted to the university and wanted to drink wine. The days were staggered so that those who received the invitation would not know where to go for a drink.

As for the dishes at the banquet, Lin Wei did not need to take care of it, she invited Zhang Lan to do it.

When Zhao Yanhua was pregnant, she originally wanted to ask Zhang Lan to take care of her, but at that time Zhang Lan was pregnant with her own child, so it didn’t happen.

However, there were still people in the family area who remembered her. Later, when someone else wanted to give birth, they even found Lin Wei and asked her how her work was, so Zhang Lan entered the family area again as a nanny.

It’s just that although public opinion is relaxed now, no one in the family area dares to hire a nanny for a long time. Therefore, in the past year, although Zhang Lan often has a job, there is no job that can last for a long time.

And Lin Wei thought that on the day of the entrance banquet, she and Zong Shao were going to greet the guests, so they definitely didn’t have time to cook, and it was unrealistic to come back from a state-run restaurant. Their big pot rice business was booming, and they couldn’t tell so many people to prepare the banquet dishes.

After thinking about it, Lin Wei thought of Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan’s cooking skills are good, and the last full moon wine was prepared by her and Lin Wei’s mother. Coincidentally, Lin Wei knew that Zhang Lan had just finished a job last month and had nothing to do recently, so she asked someone to tell her about it.

Although Zhang Lan’s reputation is now well known, and she is very experienced in taking care of children and confinement, most people are reluctant to hire a nanny to take care of their daughter-in-law’s confinement. That is, the military sister-in-law in the family area. She has a good family background, her mother-in-law and mother are not around, and she has the financial power of the family, so she can make the decision to ask someone to take care of her childbirth.

It’s just that there are only a few military wives in the family area, and how many can have children within a year. She was lucky to have a job last year, but not this year.

Therefore, Zhang Lan was also worried and wanted to find a long-term thing to do. After this year, she no longer wanted to go back to the days of facing the loess and turning her back to the sky. But Zhang Lan knew that this matter could not be rushed. What she could do was to seize every job opportunity.

So when Lin Wei finished speaking, Zhang Lan agreed immediately and asked about the banquet in detail. Knowing that there would be six tables for the banquet, Zhang Lan asked herself if she could find two helpers.

She must not be able to handle the six-table banquet alone, and Lin Wei didn’t want to trouble the guests who came to drink, so she said: “You can find two more, the wages are the same as you, how much you give them is up to you. People must be diligent in doing things and pay attention to hygiene.” The things at the entrance must be made by people who love cleanliness.

Zhang Lan agreed at once, and quickly found two people and brought them to Lin Wei to see. Lin Wei saw that the clothes they were wearing had been washed white and still had many patches, but they looked clean and tidy and agreed.

…

On the day of the entrance banquet, Lin Wei and Zong Shao both got up before dawn.

Although they don’t need to do the food, the job of grocery shopping is still theirs. At that time, the work content she talked to Zhang Lan did not include grocery shopping.

However, it is also easy to buy vegetables. The vegetarian dishes that can be put are basically prepared yesterday. The main things to buy in the morning are meat dishes, chicken, duck, fish, etc.

The chickens, ducks, and pork were all agreed to with the person in charge of the vegetable market. The money tickets have been paid, and they can go directly to get them. As long as the seafood has to get up early to buy it.

After buying the vegetables and returning home, Zhang Lan also brought people over and was standing in the yard.

Lin Wei greeted them, opened the kitchen door, put out the borrowed coal stove from inside, and then confronted Zhang Lan with the vegetables she bought, and said, “What are you missing when you cook? I said, I’ll buy it now.”

Zhang Lan responded and greeted the other two people to burn the coal stove.

When they were busy, Lin Wei went upstairs and called the three children to get up.

Because during the Chinese New Year almost every day, the three brothers and sisters played crazy. They didn’t go to bed until eleven or two last night, and they all slept late in the morning and refused to get up.

After a lot of effort to wake them up, Lin Wei began to assign tasks to them, asking them to greet the children who came today.

Mingming and Beibei have similar personalities. They both love to be lively and expressive. Thinking of the excitement at noon, they immediately cheered up and gave an informal military salute, saying, “I promise to complete the mission!”

Rarity stood in the middle, looking at the people on the left and right as if they had been beaten, and then slowly raised her hands after a moment of silence.

…

After breakfast, around 10:30, guests arrived one after another.

Deng Xiangyun was the first to come. Her house is next door, so it is convenient to come to the old shígG Dujia. After that, Zhao Li, Liu Dan and Yang Yi came. Because they were very familiar with several families, they all brought their families here.

According to the assigned tasks, the men were entertained by Zong Shao, the women were greeted by Lin Wei, and the children were led by the three children to play.

When he first went to the island with the army, obviously because he was short and young, no one would accept him because he wanted to be the boss, but now he is obviously a well-deserved king of children.

Although he and Rarity are obviously not yet seven years old, both he and Rarity have inherited their parents, uh… mainly because of their father’s height. Last year, they were crazy, and now they look about the same height as eight or nine-year-old children.

In addition, Mingming has been the monitor for more than a year, and he is very imposing and has many ideas. Whether it is a young or a slightly older child, he is willing to play with him.

Compared to her brother, Rarity’s popularity is not as good.

Although Rarity is not a cadre on duty, he ranks first in every exam, and his composition has been published in newspapers. His name has been on the bulletin board for a long time. The most common words that parents in the family area educate their children are—you Can I learn from Rarity?

In this case, it’s no wonder that Rarity’s popularity is good, not being bullied, all because he has his brother covering him.

Of course, Rarity himself didn’t care much about it. As he got older, he became more and more indifferent to people, and now he has a good relationship with his sister and brother, who is just a little rock.

Worried that Rui Rui’s character is becoming more and more withdrawn, Lin Wei asked him the reason, and the answer he got was that he felt that children of the same age were too stupid.

Lin Wei choked and asked, “Aren’t Mingming and Xiao Shishi the same age as you? You can play with them, why can’t you play with others?”

Rarity says, “If I don’t play with my brother and Little Rock, they’ll be sad.”

Lin Wei understood what Rui Rui was thinking. Rui Rui played with Mingming and Xiao Shi Shi, not because they were much more mature than their peers, but because one of them was a real brother, they were born and grew up together, and the other was after going to the island. , so Rarity tolerated their childishness.

After realizing this, Lin Wei felt very difficult.

Although Mingming often thinks he is smart, his situation is different from Rarity’s. For example, when Lin Wei doesn’t know what he knows, he will say “Mom, you are so stupid”, and then proudly tell Lin Wei the answer .

Therefore, it is obvious that people are stupid, but it is actually a child showing off proudly, but in fact he doesn’t think others are stupid, so he can play with anyone.

While Rarity says her peers are stupid, she actually thinks they’re too naive.

Although Rarity has no trouble communicating with people in class, that doesn’t mean they get along, it’s just that he’s accommodating others. So the classmates have a good impression of him, but after more than a year, Mingming and Xiao Shishi have met many new friends, but he is still the only two children by his side.

Lin Wei knew that Ruirui skipped a grade in the original book, and later was admitted to the Capital University Junior Class, but she didn’t plan to let him skip a grade so early, he was too young, even if he was mature, the difference in height and age would make him very uncomfortable. Difficulty integrating into group life.

So what she wanted was to let Rarity go through the third grade step by step, and then decide whether or not to skip grades according to his personal wishes.

But now Lin Wei felt that it might not be a good thing for him to read step by step.

After talking to Zong Shao, the couple talked to Rarity about skipping grades, but it was halfway through the semester, and they didn’t know what was going on after the new year, so they didn’t bother, and planned to let Rarui skip grades in the new semester.

Although Rarity felt that children of the same age were naive, he was willing to take part in the games with his brother and sister and Xiao Shishi, and the children got along well there.

…

The table was still open around 11:30. Lin Wei and Zong Shao sat separately because they wanted to greet the guests. Ruirui and the children were clearly at the table, while Bei Bei was forced to sit with her mother because she was young.

The little girl was not very happy, her mouth was so raised that she could hang an oil bottle.

Lin Wei looked annoyed and funny: “Isn’t it good to sit with mother?”

Beibei said logically and clearly: “It’s not fun to sit with Brother Mingming and Brother Ruirui.”

Zhao Li laughed out loud: “Okay, you should let Bei Bei go to the children’s table and see if the little guy is wronged.”

When Bei Bei heard Zhao Li’s words, she looked at Lin Wei with bright eyes, full of anticipation.

Lin Wei: “…”

In the end, at the strong request of Zong Beibei’s children, Lin Wei still sent people to the two sons, and told the brothers: “Don’t patronize your own food, remember to bring vegetables to your sister.”

Although the two children agreed at one go, Lin Wei was not completely at ease during the meal, and from time to time looked at the children’s table.

Lin Wei looked at her, and the others at the table followed her. Seeing that Ruirui was taking care of her sister in a decent manner, some people praised her, “Your eldest and the second are really sensible.”

However, it is common for older children to take care of children these days, and it is not unusual for everyone to praise them.

But there are also surprises. Zhao Li will say after seeing it: “Mingming usually doesn’t look good, but taking care of my sister is quite like that.”

Hearing the words, the others looked more closely at the next table, and then all agreed,

Mingming Ruirui’s two children, to say who is more likable, it must be Mingming, Ruirui is a little too silent.

But when it comes to who they want to be their children, most people will choose Rarity, not only because of his excellent grades, but also because he is stable and reliable.

Between the brothers, Rarity also takes care of Mingming more, and Mingming’s childish nature makes it look even more out of place, not like he can take care of people.

Today’s Mingming is beyond everyone’s expectations.

And Mingming, after hearing everyone’s praise, automatically ignored the first half of the sentence, raised his chest confidently, and thought:

Of course, he is the boss!
