Back to 90s

Jiang Yuexiu told Zhu Chengcai that night that she might be pregnant.

Zhu Chengcai had brothers and sisters, and always felt that it would be better to have more brothers and sisters to help him. He was happy when he heard this, but he was a little worried when he thought of the things that would follow.However, even if there are a lot of things to do, he still wants this child: "We are not short of money now, and it's okay to pay a fine. If it doesn't work, we can go to another place to give birth!"

"Forget about going to a foreign student. If you pay the fine earlier, you should be fine. You just have to ask Xuanxuan." Jiang Yuexiu said again.

"What do children know? Xuanxuan is very sensible now, so there must be no problem." Zhu Chengcai looked proud when he thought of his son. This child was smart when he was young, and now he is sensible when he goes to school. He wished he could Talk about showing off every day.

"I always have to ask, what should I do if he is sad?" There are many things about giving birth to a second child and treating the first child badly. Jiang Yuexiu was also afraid that she would not have the energy to take care of Zhu Yunxuan anymore.

"It's fine to ask, don't be tired now, and do you want to talk to the factory manager about this?" Zhu Chengcai said the factory manager was Li Yue.

"It's not confirmed yet, let's talk about it when it is confirmed." Jiang Yuexiu patted her husband's hand, looking forward to the possible arrival of the child.

Not long after the winter vacation, it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. Some places celebrated the New Year on this day, but people here would cook glutinous rice to eat.

Zhu Yunxuan has always heard about Laba porridge, but has never eaten it. It seems that their family is not good at Laba, but they eat glutinous rice every year.

Twenty-three glutinous rice, there are salty glutinous rice and sweet glutinous rice. Salty glutinous rice can be cooked with bacon or fresh pork and soy sauce. Sweet glutinous rice can be cooked with pumpkin and sugar. , You can also make glutinous rice with candied dates.

Jiang Yuexiu likes to cook glutinous rice with pumpkin and sugar. I planted the last old pumpkin myself, and it tastes very sweet when steamed. If it is cooked with glutinous rice, it will be soft and delicious even without any sugar.

Zhu Yunxuan ran around Jiang Yuexiu, watching her clean the house, tie small bamboos with leaves on the long bamboo poles, clean up the cobwebs in the corners of the roof, wash and cook, and felt extremely anxious.

How dangerous is it for a woman to be pregnant?Back then, when his strong female colleague got pregnant, she lost a lot of weight, and because she was too busy, she went to the hospital to have a baby. How could Jiang Yuexiu be so strong?Is she really pregnant?

Recently, grandma has stopped making noises, and Feng Xian has stopped doing farm work, but she still goes to work every day. Maybe it's because people work a lot at this time and their physical fitness is good?

"Mom, put less sugar, I don't want to eat too sweet." Seeing that the yellow glutinous rice is ready because of the addition of pumpkin, Zhu Yunxuan said quickly.

"Okay." Jiang Yuexiu immediately agreed, she herself doesn't like too sweet food, but Zhu Chengcai and Zhu Yunxuan both liked sweet food in the past.

Now... my son also likes something that is not too sweet, so he knows he has wronged his husband!

Jiang Yuexiu's glutinous rice is not ready yet, but Zhu Qiuyue has already come over with a bowl of glutinous rice while eating. Zhu Chenggong sells meat now, and her family has no shortage of meat, so the glutinous rice in her hand is filled with ribs The salty glutinous rice smells fragrant.

"Yunxuan, do you want to eat it? It's as delicious as zongzi." Zhu Qiuyue's lips were shining.

The rice dumplings in Jiaxing are mixed with soy sauce and wrapped with pork. The glutinous rice in her hand is cooked with the three ingredients. Of course, the taste is similar: "I'm not hungry yet, and I want to eat sweet ones." Zhu Yunxuan Even if he has a crush on Zhu Qiuyue, he doesn't plan to share a bowl with her.

"Second Aunt, can you give me a piece of sweet food?" Zhu Qiuyue looked eagerly at the tall stove when she heard that there was some sweet food.

Zhu Qiuyue often ate at Zhu Chengcai's house since she was a child. Jiang Yuexiu almost regarded her as her daughter, so naturally she would not refuse. She picked up a large ball of sticky glutinous rice with chopsticks and sprinkled sugar on it.

"Eat sweet and salty ones together, be careful of diarrhea." Zhu Yunxuan really admired Zhu Qiuyue's appetite, no wonder his cousin got fat when she was in high school...

"Then you still drink and eat vegetables!" Zhu Qiuyue said immediately.

"If you eat too much glutinous rice, you won't be able to digest it."

"What is digestion?"

Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Qiuyue chatted, but Jiang Yuexiu was still thinking about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday she went to the hospital with Feng Xian. It had been two months since her last menstruation, and Feng Xian was older than her. After a checkup, it was found out that both of them were pregnant.

In fact, the two of them had been a little certain for a long time, and it was not surprising that there would be such a result, but they just didn't know how to tell their son.

Feng Xian next door yelled her daughter's name a few times, and Zhu Qiuyue ran out quickly. Jiang Yuexiu filled a bowl of glutinous rice for Zhu Yunxuan, and suddenly asked, "Does Xuanxuan want younger siblings?"

If it was Zhu Yunxuan in the past, he would definitely say no without even thinking about it, but now Zhu Yunxuan smiled at Jiang Yuexiu after being stunned: "Mom, I want a little brother."

"Mom has a younger brother or younger sister." Jiang Yuexiu let go of her heart and patted Zhu Yunxuan's head.

"Really? Mom, your belly is not big at all!"

"The baby is still young, but it will grow up in the future..."

"Mom, how did the baby get in?"

……

Zhu Yunxuan acted coquettishly for a while, pretended to be innocent for a while, and then they packed a jar of glutinous rice together and went to town.

As the end of the year approached, Li Yue and Zheng Xiaoqing became even busier.

Zheng Xiaoqing has to settle the expenses and income for the year, and also arranges the operation of the company during the Chinese New Year. Li Yue plans to make a fortune in clothing during the Chinese New Year. Before the new year, basically every household would buy new clothes.

Because his parents are very busy, Li Rui still lives in Wende Town.Jiang Yuexiu has always been very grateful for the work Li Yue has given her, and she is also very kind to Li Rui by reciprocating favors. She would send him something from time to time, and of course it is the same today.

The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River may be higher than that in the north in winter, but it is cold and damp. Zhu Yunxuan wore a thick cotton jacket, a woolen sweater and a cotton jacket outside, and he did not lack gloves and scarves, so he felt better.

It's really, really cold. In his previous life, he always had to wear a down jacket to survive the winter... Down jacket?Forget it, I can't chew too much, and the time to make down jackets this year has passed.

There are not many styles of down jackets at the moment, and most people in the future will like to look for big brands when buying down jackets and duvets. When the time comes, it is not bad to do this one.

There is no heating in the south, and no one knows how to turn on the air conditioner nowadays, so the house is also cold. When Zhu Yunxuan and Jiang Yuexiu entered Li Rui's room, they saw Xiaohui watching TV with a hot water bottle in her arms, while Li Rui was wrapped in a quilt and sitting. in his own bed.

"Mom, I'm going to sleep with Li Rui today, can you pick me up tomorrow?" Zhu Yunxuan hugged Jiang Yuexiu's arm and acted like a baby. In the past few months, his relationship with Li Rui has become better and better. It is more common for Rui's family to stay overnight.

"Mom still has to burn zongzi meat at night, don't you want to eat it?" Jiang Yuexiu asked.

Zongzi meat?Jiang Yuexiu likes to wrap two wide pieces of pork belly in brown rice with zong leaves, and the meat exuding the fragrance of zong leaves tastes better one by one, Zhu Yunxuan swallowed: "Mom, I'll eat it when I go back tomorrow, it's too cold outside I don't want to go back, and Li Rui's room has just been covered with a red carpet, I want to sit on the carpet and play."

"Okay, mom will keep the best one for you, you can eat it when you come back tomorrow." Jiang Yuexiu said, and immediately agreed, it's okay to let Zhu Yunxuan stay here for one night, and Li Rui's room is very beautifully furnished, and there are There are a lot of toys, and it's normal for Zhu Yunxuan to like this place. When they have money, they can rebuild the house...

People in the countryside still use latrines, and the flush toilet is a legendary existence, and there are other things. Life is always inconvenient. Relatively speaking, Li Rui is much more comfortable here.

Zhu Yunxuan took off his shoes and entered the room, took off his coat and the pants he wore outside the sweater pants, and then got into Li Rui's bed. The hot air made him moan comfortably, but Li Rui shivered because of the sudden cold air. shook.

"You still used a hot water bottle?" Zhu Yunxuan found a hot water bottle under the blanket, and quickly hugged it in his arms.Both Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai dote on him, but they seldom let him stay in bed all the time. Zhu Chengcai doesn't like people eating in bed. He can sleep late in winter but always gets up when he is hungry, but Li Rui can stay in bed. on all day.

"Why don't you stay at home when it's so cold?" Li Rui asked, when Jiang Yuexiu came to deliver vegetables and garlic, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't come.

"Isn't it okay to come out and let the wind go?" Zhu Yunxuan suddenly became silent, Jiang Yuexiu was pregnant, although he behaved well in front of the other party, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He will have a younger brother or younger sister. After having younger siblings, will the parents treat the newborn child better?In the future, if his parents find out about his affairs, will he still be kicked out of the house and can only watch their family live happily?

In fact, Zhu Yunxuan also knew that in his previous life, he was too naive to deal with things, so he suddenly dropped such a "bomb" that "bombed" the whole family, but in this life, he can handle it well.

However, even though he knew that he had a way to avoid the ending of his previous life, he still couldn't help being afraid...

"What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" Li Rui also saw that something was wrong with Zhu Yunxuan.

"It's okay, it's just that my mother is pregnant."

"Isn't this great?" Li Rui was a little surprised by the news, but more happy.

"Yeah, it's really good." In Jiang Yuexiu's womb is his closest relative, whether it's a boy or a girl, he will raise him well. With such a child, his parents won't have to suffer so much in the future, right?

After sleeping all night on Li Rui's soft and warm bed, Zhu Yunxuan was in good spirits again the next day.

Xiaohui went to pack two bowls of hot mutton noodles and came back - it's perfect to eat mutton noodles in winter!

Many families near Wende Town raise sheep, and the mutton noodles are cooked with local sheep. This kind of sheep and sheep raised in captivity does not have a strong smell, and the meat is tender and tastes very good.

"I'm going to Beijing in a few days." After breakfast, Zhu Yunxuan lay on the bed reading a novel in both Chinese and English, and looked it up in the dictionary when he saw a word he didn't understand, while Li Rui read some aspects of the book.He is different from Zhu Yunxuan. Zheng Xiaoqing and Li Yue's request for him is to be able to take over their business rather than become a scholar. They don't necessarily value his grades too much. Now that he has time, it is better to learn more knowledge. .

Moreover, in his previous life, he was passive and sabotaged, and basically didn't take care of things, but in this life, he can't do this anymore...

"Beijing? Are you going to grandpa's place in Beijing?" Zhu Yunxuan didn't expect it at first, but soon remembered that Li Rui's grandpa and grandma lived in Beijing.

"Yeah, my dad didn't want to go to Beijing and didn't want me to go before. This year is different." Li Rui has been learning calligraphy a few days ago, and at the same time made up his mind to please those people, but thinking of the majesty in his memory The old man felt a little uncertain.

"Let's work together, everything will be fine in the end." Zhu Yunxuan held Li Rui's hand. His parents couldn't bear the fact that he was gay, so could Li Rui's family bear it?

Now they all have mountain-like obstacles in front of them, and falling in love before everything is cleared is irresponsible to themselves and even more irresponsible to the other party.

In a blink of an eye, it's the time of the New Year.

Ever since she was a child, the New Year's Eve is always more lively than the New Year's Day. On the last day of the year, Jiang Yuexiu was busy worshiping her ancestors and gods. After a busy day, she didn't have any free time. He took a knife to tear apart the salted pig's head, and the pig's head meat was left on a big plate, and the bones were gnawed and played by the children. Zhu Yunxuan got two big bones, and sat at the door to gnaw slowly. Because it was very salty, he brought it again Eat together with a bowl of boiled water chestnuts.

Later, Jiang Yuexiu started cutting chicken, and Zhu Yunxuan could eat more chicken feet and wings.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was very sumptuous, and now that the family's life is better, Jiang Yuexiu is more interested in taking care of the house, and she specially bought a big silver carp to make "fish balls".

Cut off the meat on the back of the silver carp, chop the small bones inside into a mud, then put in the lard and water and stir evenly, finally boil a large pot of water, put the fish mud into the pot with a spoon Waiting for the balls to float to the surface of the water one by one, the "fish balls" will be ready.

Jiang Yuexiu fried the remaining silver carp skeleton with large pieces of meat on its belly and made sweet and sour fish steak, which is also one of Zhu Yunxuan's favorite foods.

Zhu Chengcai and Zhu Yunxuan were very happy to eat a few vegetarian dishes, chicken, pork head and fish, but Jiang Yuexiu had no appetite because of her pregnancy. In the end, Zhu Yunxuan kept persuading her to eat a lot of food.

By the time we finished eating, it was already dark.

Zhu Chengcai also bought ten fireworks for his son. This kind of fireworks is held in the hand. Adult fingers are as thick and as long as Zhu Yunxuan today. When lit, they will shoot out fireballs.When it was released, I just watched it lively, and when it was over, the long paper pole was probably used by children as a "golden cudgel" to play with.

Zhu Yunxuan had seen too many beautiful fireworks, and he was not interested in the simplest ones, but others were different. Zhu Qiuyue stayed by his side and refused to leave. In the end, he had to leave several paper poles, shouting With the "children" ran away.

People in the south don’t pay as much attention to the New Year than in the north, and they don’t eat dumplings. Few people know how to keep up with the new year. Zhu Chengcai set off firecrackers, leaving eight firecrackers to set off when the door opens tomorrow morning, and the family will go back. Watch TV upstairs.

In another night, he will be eight years old.Zhu Yunxuan clung to Jiang Yuexiu's side, and handed him slices of cut sugar cane to eat. This sugar cane was buried in the ground early and preserved until winter, and it was still very sweet at this time.Jiang Yuexiu doesn't have a good appetite now, so it's good to be able to eat some fruit.

Get rid of the old and welcome the new, next year, everything will be better, right?I don't know if Li Rui will be bullied in Beijing...
