Now for lunch, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan no longer need to go home.
The two children ate in the nursery, and they ate in the cafeteria. After dinner, Ding Qiunan was able to sleep on the bed in Li Chu's consulting room.
When they first sent the child to the nursery, the two of them ran over and took a look at it quietly. Now they no longer need to look at it. The children are used to it. There are many children in the nursery who play there happily.
It was New Year's Eve soon, and Li Chu and his wife took their children home early in the afternoon.
Before the year, almost no patients came to the hospital.
Soon after returning home, Li Qin came over with her family. Their street office also had a holiday in the afternoon.
As soon as Li Qin came over, she started helping Ding Qiunan prepare the meals.
There are many people today and there are many things to do.
"Sister, when will my brother-in-law come back? They should be fine this afternoon, right?" Li Chu, like an old man, sat on the lounge chair under the eaves, basking in the rare sunshine this winter.
Li Qin was sitting at the door of the kitchen plucking chicken feathers: "I don't know. When I was leaving for work in the morning, I said there was a meeting with the government in the afternoon."
Wang Ziwen got what he wanted this time. Uncle Wang helped him get a promotion directly. He is now the deputy district chief of Chengdong District and director of the Food Bureau.
Li Qin said that on the day he received the notice, Wang Ziwen sat at home alone and got extremely drunk.
For practical cadres at the deputy department level in their early forties, the possibility of moving up the ranks after doing well is very high.
Zhang Meng sent Aunt Wang over at around four o'clock, and then helped to pick up Ding's father and Ding's mother.
As the leader, Uncle Wang will definitely come back late today.
"Xiao Chu, Junzi sent a letter saying that Qiaoyun is pregnant, but Qiaoyun's body bones are a bit weak, and he asked you if you can give his wife a supplement."
Aunt Wang asked Li Chu when she entered the door.
"Aunt, you are really going to be a grandma this time, congratulations!"
Li Qin and Ding Qiunan also put down their things and congratulated each other.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang didn't look particularly excited on her face.
Aunt Wang waved her hands indifferently: "What's there to congratulate? I've had grandchildren for a long time."
After saying that, Aunt Wang walked to the living room, picked up Wen Hui who was playing on the blanket in the living room and kissed her.
"Oh, I miss grandma so much. Your parents really insist on sending you to daycare and don't let me see you."
After saying that, he picked up Wenxuan and kissed him.
The two children hugged Aunt Wang and refused to let go, shouting "grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma".
Aunt Wang couldn't close her mouth.
After all, I have watched it since childhood, and the two villains have a close relationship with Aunt Wang.
"Hey, Xiaochu, I just asked you, can you help Qiaoyun?"
"Aunt, supplements can definitely help, but I want to see someone, and I don't dare to prescribe the medicine for this pregnant woman randomly."
Aunt Wang was pulled by the two children to sit on the blanket, and nodded after listening to Li Chu's words: "Okay, let's see if your uncle can let Qiaoyun come back to raise the baby. When she was just pregnant, the doctor at the military hospital said
Let her find a Chinese medicine doctor to regulate her body, but I still don't feel at ease there."
Li Chu thought of Li Qiaoyun's mother whom she met that day. Judging from her face, she was also very weak. It seemed to be hereditary. No wonder she was the only one in their family.
These days, as long as there is nothing wrong with your health, it is rare to see a family with only one child. There are at least two or more, and seven or eight are normal. Now the country encourages childbirth.
At around five o'clock, Wang Ziwen rushed over, followed by Zhang Meng who also picked up Ding's father and Ding's mother.
Ding Ma also brought over the pig heads, pig trotters, and pig meat that Li Chu had brought over a few days ago, all marinated in water.
Now we can start dinner just waiting for Uncle Wang to come back.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Li Chu ran to the utility room and took out the firecrackers he bought. He connected several firecrackers together and threw them at the gate.
There are no boys in the family this year. Wang Jiadong is in the army and Ding Jianguo is on a business trip. There is no one to set off cannons.
Before the cannons outside had finished firing, Uncle Wang came back.
Zhang Meng sent Uncle Wang back and did not stay here longer. His wife and children were still waiting for him to return.
My sister, brother-in-law, uncle and aunt Wang are not going back tonight, they are staying here with Li Chu.
When everyone arrived, Li Qin started cooking in the kitchen. The steaming pot was almost ready. Ding Qiunan and Li Chu were busy bringing the cold dishes to the table.
With Ma Ding and Aunt Wang here, the two children don't have to worry about no one watching.
With so much delicious food, the three dogs were so hungry that they all sat at the door of the living room and stared at the dining table, waiting for someone to throw some bones to them.
The food was filled with wine. At Uncle Wang's suggestion, everyone picked up their glasses and clinked them. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.
I don’t know how I kept talking about the child.
The lively atmosphere at the dinner table has subsided a bit. Not counting the two particularly young children this year, there is only one child left, Jiayuan.
Ding's mother and Li Qin's eyes turned red when they thought of the first time their children were not around to celebrate the New Year.
Aunt Wang was also affected by the emotions of the two of them. She thought of her three sons, but none of them were with her during the Chinese New Year, and her face became ugly.
Jiayuan even sat there with tears in her eyes because no one at home played with her this year.
There were only two little people sitting in the arms of Ma Ding and Aunt Wang. They kept saying some words that they couldn't understand and pointed at the table to ask for delicious food.
At this time, Uncle Wang picked up the wine glass and said: "Well, there is no need to be sad. Whether it is the family building, Jianguo, or the three of us, although we can't be at home during the New Year, the children will have a bright future in the future.
We parents should be happy for our children. When our children grow up, we cannot always keep them by our side.
Come, everyone, let’s touch one together and wish the children a better future. Of course, that includes the family, Wenxuan and Wenhui as well.”
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively again, and the children's talk of the two little people made the adults laugh.
The meal lasted for more than two hours. After the table was cleared, Li Chu brought over the noodles and dumpling fillings that had been mixed.
After the two children finished eating, they were too sleepy to open their eyes. Ding Qiunan stuffed cotton wool into the children's ears and threw them into the bedroom and fell asleep soon after.
Tonight, Ding's father and Ding's mother sleep with their two children in the bedroom. My sister, brother-in-law and their family live in the east wing, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang live in the west wing.
As for the small bed in the study room where Li Chu and Ding Qiunan sleep, Ding Qiunan hugs Li Chu tightly when sleeping, no matter how hot or cold it is, so the small bed is enough for them.
After the dumplings were wrapped, Li Qin cooked a few more for each person, and the rest will be eaten tomorrow morning.
With everything done and tidied up, the time has come for the new year.
Li Chu led his niece and nephew to set off a few firecrackers at the entrance of the yard, and then everyone went to rest.
