It was also the first time for Su Xiaoxiao to stay in the army's home to celebrate the New Year. Han Cheng had no idea about the customs of the New Year. Su Xiaoxiao could come as he wanted.
Su Xiaoxiao refers to the customs of Sujia Village, washes the sloppy clothes in the twenty-eighth year, frys sugar rings in the twenty-ninth year, and celebrates the Spring Festival in the thirty-nine year. New Year's red envelopes, one-day vegetarian food, New Year's rooster on the second day of the new year and so on.
Hancheng took a long holiday last year for the Chinese New Year. This year, he took the initiative to let other colleagues take a long holiday to go back to the Chinese New Year. However, on the 25th of the year, he applied for a day off and drove Su Xiaoxiao and the children to the city to buy New Year's goods.
The half-year-old dragon and phoenix have been able to sit up steadily. The small dumplings are lazy, and they are not willing to sit when they can lie down. The small meat buns are different. There is no corner that he cannot reach.
Han Cheng had no choice but to plant bamboo and make a fence like porridge, noodles, rice, and flowers, and wrap him in rags and sheets and surround him in the middle of the mat.
The half-year-old little dumplings are sweeter and more smiling, the pink-toothed little girl is getting better and better, Bai Shengsheng's small face has a pointed little chin, and when the big watery eyes are flashing, the long eyelashes are opened and closed. Ling was pitiful, and the little girl also began to eat rice soup and rice paste, and began to have a little temper of her own.
It was the first time for Longfeng Tire to travel far by car, and the whole body was tightly wrapped. Everyone was rushing to hold the small dumplings, only thinking that the younger brother was the Xiaodoubao that he had chosen and was rushing to hold the Xiaoroubao, but it was a pity that the Xiaoroubao was too heavy. Can't hold the bag.
The three big brothers were discussing taking turns to hold the small dumplings in the back seat. Guessing Ding Ke decided who would hold them first. As a result, the small rice ball won and got the qualification to hold the first one. Xiaobao lost. He was the last to hold it. Look The little sister in the arms of the small rice ball is greedy.
Xiaoroubao is curious about everything. He can't sit still in his mother's arms. He has to stand up and jump around. The child is still young. If he stands too young, he will easily wrap his legs. Su Xiaoxiao won't let him stand and jump, so he just sit , it didn't stop for a while anyway.
It is quite dangerous to not have a child seat these days, Su Xiaoxiao told Han Cheng to drive as slowly as possible.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't say that Hancheng wouldn't drive so fast. There were two rows in the back. Dabao and Xiaobao, who didn't have their turn to hold the small dumplings, sat in the last row. Xiaodoubao would sit next to his brother and mother, and the small rice **** would hug him. Sitting on the side with small dumplings, the whole family started to go to the city.
The first time Dabao and Xiaobao took the car driven by their uncle, they were so excited that the seat belts couldn't tie them up.
When it was Dabao's turn to hug, Han Cheng parked the car to the side and asked Dabao to move to the middle row, and the rice ball to sit in the back row. When it was Xiaobao's turn, it was the same, and the other two brothers sat in the back row.
The usual one-hour drive took two hours to slowly wander into the city.
As Liang Hongmei said, the atmosphere of this year has been relatively less tense, but it is still not the kind of New Year's flavor of later generations, especially as it is approaching the end of the year, there are so many people everywhere. Many years old.
Han Cheng held the small meat bun, Su Xiaoxiao held the small bean bun, put a modified small back basket on the back of the small rice ball, and then put the small rice **** in it and tied it up, the small rice **** can sit in it, pulling and entangling You can look around through the frame where the cloth belt will not sting your hand, and let Dabao carry the other bag, and buy some odds and ends to put it in later. Anyway, the three brothers are all very strong now, taking turns Carry it alone for a while, so that you will not be tired.
It was the first time for Dabao and Xiaobao to come to such a prosperous city. Everything felt new to him. He couldn't wait to have two more eyes. Su Xiaoxiao was worried that the cubs would accidentally get lost, so the three of them should hold hands and must not run around. , or stand still in one place for a long time.
Others thought that so many children were born to Su Xiaoxiao, but they were actually very surprised to see that she could give birth at such a young age.
On the road, there was a craftsman who secretly sold small windmills, and Su Xiaoxiao bought one for Xiaodoubao.
Instead of wandering around, they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run shopping malls to buy everything they needed for the New Year.
Boys have an inexplicable love for fireworks and firecrackers. They were unsatisfactory in Sujia Village before. The rice **** and beanbags both said they wanted to buy them. Han Cheng thought that these things could be bought when he went back, so there was no need to bring them with him. Most of them didn't look so good, it was too heavy, Su Xiaoxiao suggested to buy some, and the cubs were overjoyed.
They mainly bought all the necessary supplies such as milk powder, malted milk, toffee, etc. Hancheng exchanged a lot of tickets with others, and the supply and marketing agency in the army town often sold out of stock, so they would try their best to come here. Buy enough.
In addition, there are some Chinese New Year candies, biscuits, red paper, etc. Some dried fruits and fruits supplied by the city's non-staple food factory are not available in the town. They just bought some of each kind. They are not polite to Lao Hu now. , just let him stay.
Anyway, things other than bills can only go to the black market for supplies.
Just after buying this trip, the whole family is already exhausted, and a few cubs are sitting on the car and don't want to move.
The couple changed the diapers for the dragon and the phoenix, and the little meat bun was already croaking and screaming from hunger. The little guy stopped crying now when he was hungry, and only croaked to attract everyone's attention.
Su Xiaoxiao brought rice paste in a thermos and asked Hancheng to feed Xiaoroubao outside. The brothers first had some prepared scones and eggs to cushion their stomachs.
Xiaoroubao has been drinking all kinds of soups and eating all kinds of coarse grains. His favorite foods are egg yolk, pumpkin and sweet potatoes. He already dislikes pure rice paste. He only eats egg yolks deliciously. If it weren't for the fact that he had nothing to eat, he wouldn't eat white rice.
The brothers know that he likes to eat egg yolks, and they are all willing to donate their egg yolks to him. Su Xiaoxiao said that nothing can be eaten directly for him, only with rice paste, otherwise it will choke him. .
So even if Xiaoroubao is greedy again, the brothers will not give him anything to eat, and those who haven't fed him will definitely ask Su Xiaoxiao first.
"Eat it by yourself, peel another rice ball, give the egg whites to Dad, and put the egg yolks in the rice paste of the pork buns for him to eat."
It's not good to go out without quitting milk, Su Xiaoxiao has already started to increase milk, and when she is finished, she closes the car door and feeds small dumplings in the corner.
When the fetus was full, she put it directly in the car to sleep. Su Xiaoxiao asked Han Cheng to take the children to a state-run restaurant for lunch. She watched the fetus in the car and packed her wontons or dumplings to come back.
After eating and resting, she went to the state-run shopping mall to use the cloth ticket in the afternoon. Li Yufeng was not here, so she couldn’t make clothes by buying cloth. The shoes she made last time were a little bigger. Su Xiaoxiao simply bought a pair of shoes for each of the cubs. The cubs who got new shoes were not the happiest, because Hancheng didn't know where to get the radio tickets, they bought a radio!
This means that the cub will add a new entertainment item. You can listen to the news, listen to the radio every day, and listen to stories. Are you happy?
The three cubs were reluctant to let go of the big radio, and kept asking Han Cheng how to use it.
"I can't use it now, I have to go home and plug it in before I can use it." Han Cheng collected some English tapes. Going back and finding them can also let the children familiarize themselves with English language in advance.
Can not be used on site, the cubs expressed great regret.
The last itinerary is to the black market.
There are more things in the black market than the last time, I don't know how much, even Han Cheng said: "If this trend continues, the current supply method should be broken within three years."
The market will never be in short supply, and a market that cannot even meet people's basic needs for life is unlikely to exist for a long time.
Su Xiaoxiao had to admire Hancheng's foresight. It was three years later that the current planned economy began to withdraw from the stage of history step by step.
They stocked up on firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, all kinds of spices and seasonings, all kinds of meat that don't need tickets, and some mushrooms and calla lotus roots that they didn't have at home.
Aunt and uncle's generosity made Dabao and Xiaobao stunned for a while. Rice **** and beanbags are commonplace. The family only stocked up several times a year. The first time I saw people buying things like this, the little guys who were good at mathematics began to worry that their aunt and uncle would not be paid enough.
On the way back, if the cubs didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be hugged, they would be so tired that they didn't even want to hug their sister, and the elder brother who didn't get to hug his sister was lying on the chair and slept all the way.
Hurry up and get home before the sun goes down. The cubs help unload the goods, and they all lie on the bamboo mat and refuse to move.
Even Xiaodoubao couldn't help lying down and sighed: "Going to the city to buy is so tiring. Next time I go to brother Xiaoyuer's house to play, I won't go with Baba Mama again~~~"
The three brothers looked at each other, and they didn't want to go to the city anymore!
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You always say that, but you always follow Dad."
They are typical healed scars and forget the pain. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go there when she was pregnant. They all followed Hancheng with two cubs. Every time they came back, they were tired. Don’t go again next time. Still have to follow.
The rice ball didn't have the strength to speak: "I didn't bring Xiaoroubao and Xiaotangyuan before, so I didn't feel so tired." The little rice ball hugged his sister and kissed, "Xiaotangyuan, it's not that my brother doesn't love you, but I took you and Xiaoroubao to go out. I'm really tired, shall we play at home next time?"
Regarding this point, Su Xiaoxiao agrees very much. It is really tiring to take such a small baby out. If there are no brothers to help, she and Han Cheng don't know how tired they will be.
"Brothers have worked hard." Su said with a smile.
Xiao Tangyuan slapped his brother in the face with a small hand with a small bell.
The little rice ball grabbed his sister's hand and gestured and bit: "The bad sister who beats my brother, my brother will eat your hand..."
Xiao Tangyuan thought her brother was playing with her, so she grinned and giggled happily.
