Chapter 472 Children's Love
"Does Xiaoqiu have an appetite when eating? She isn't starving herself, is she?" Li Caixia was always worried about her daughter, who had never left her side since she was little. Now that she had joined the army and couldn't see anyone, she was worried.
I was worried that my daughter wouldn't get along with other military families in the army, that she wouldn't have enough food and drink... In short, I was worried about everything.
"Xiao Qiu has a good appetite and eats delicious food. Don't worry, Second Aunt."
"That's fine. I'm just afraid there's something you won't tell us."
"If Second Aunt misses Xiaoqiu, come and live with me in the army for a while when the new year comes."
Li Caixia had this plan, but she was afraid of disturbing her daughter and son-in-law's lives. "Let me think about it."
Since Shen Qiu and Jiang Ziqiang didn't come back, they bought a lot of things and asked Shen Shuyu to help bring them back. Now there are a lot of things piled in the main room.
Frankly speaking, Liu Pandi was envious. The maids in the second and fourth rooms were all filial, and the men they married were good people. They knew how to be filial to their family members together with their wives.
Then look at her eldest niece from the same village. Forget it, that heartless person, let’s not mention her anymore.
When Shen Shuyu came back, Xiao An and Xiao Yaner kept calling her "big sister (big aunt)", it was so sweet.
Shen Shuyu bought gifts for everyone in the family. She bought toys and candies for Xiaoan and Xiaoyan. The two children got the toys and candies, and their mouths were full of them. "Big sister (big aunt) is the best."
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the two children with a smile, "Grandma (great-grandma) was the best yesterday, but she changed today."
The toys that Shen Shuyu bought looked very expensive. Shen Jiawei felt embarrassed to let his sister spend money. "Shuyu, how much is this toy? I'll give you the money."
Liu Pandi also said, "Shuyu, keep this toy for Xiaoze to play with. Xiaoan has his own toys."
The two listened to their parents and sensibly put the toys back, but they were a little reluctant when they did so.
Children of this age love toys and candies the most, and they have never seen the toys and candies that Shen Shuyu bought.
"Big sister (aunt), we have some. You can keep them for Xiao An to play with."
Shen Shuyu put the things in their hands, "Xiao Ze has it, Xiao An and Xiao Yan'er have it too."
Old Lady Shen spoke up, "Okay, this is a gift from Shu Yu, your elder sister (aunt), to the children. Just keep it in mind."
The things were placed in the main room. Old Mrs. Shen and her daughter divided the things up. The first, second and third wives all happily carried large and small bags of things back to their rooms.
Old Mrs. Shen and the second wife had the most things, and Shen Shuyu bought a lot of supplements for grandpa and grandma.
Shen Qiu couldn't come back, so he picked a lot of things for his parents.
As soon as Shen Shuyu entered the house, Old Man Shen took his great-grandson in his arms. Xiaoze still recognized his great-grandfather. He grinned widely and was very well behaved in his great-grandfather's arms.
Shen Shuyu bought silk scarves for her two sisters-in-law, and Lin Fangfang and Wei Fangcao loved them.
Yang Fangfang went out with a chicken in her hand, saying she was going to kill it and make soup for her older sister.
Wei Fangcao's parents sent a piece of cloth. Wei Fangcao took it out and said she wanted to make new clothes for Xiaoze.
Shen Shuyu wanted to tell her two sisters-in-law not to be polite since they were all family, and they were already busy.
Knowing that their sister Shu Yu was back, Goudan, Jinbao and a group of other children came running in.
"Sister Shuyu, Sister Shuyu, you're back. I missed you so much."
After half a year, these children have grown taller. Shen Shuyu had previously dripped spiritual spring water from the water source in their village.
This water was used to irrigate crops, and the yield of crops increased significantly. The grain yield was high, and their brigade was even rated as an advanced brigade.
After being selected as an advanced brigade, not only will it be easier for their village girls to get married, but their work points will also be more valuable.
The grain yield was high, so after they handed in the public grain, they still had a lot of grain left over, and the grain they received was more than in previous years.
Since we have more food, the family members are more willing to give more food to the children. Before, the children would only eat half full.
Now they can eat until they are 80% full. When they eat more, they have some flesh on their faces. Their smiles are innocent and bright, and they look so cute.
Shen Shuyu rubbed his head and looked around, but didn't see Taotao. "Where's Taotao? Didn't you call them when you came?"
"Taotao went up the mountain. He knew you were coming back. He said he wanted to see if he could find some sweet wild fruits."
"Taotao is so stupid. Where are the wild fruits at this time? He wouldn't listen to us if we told him not to go up the mountain."
The children chattered at once and then reached into their pockets, "Sister Shu Yu, these are the wild fruits I picked on the mountain. They are so sweet. I was afraid they wouldn't keep well, so I dried them. You can have a taste."
"Sister Shuyu, this is the egg pancake my grandma gave me. I kept half of it. You can try it."
"Sister Shu Yu, this is..."
Shen Jinbao waited until they finished talking before going up to Shen Shuyu. "Sister Shuyu, I know you're back. I don't have anything to give you. Eat a goose leg. It's delicious."
Knowing that Sister Shu Yu would not take his big goose easily, Jin Bao learned his lesson this time and asked his mother to stew the goose early, leaving out the two legs, waiting for his Sister Shu Yu to come back and eat them.
The chicken leg was almost in Shen Shuyu's mouth. It smelled really good. Shen Shuyu didn't refuse this time.
, took the goose leg and asked them to follow him into the house, "There are candies and biscuits on the kang, you can help yourself."
There were a lot of candies and biscuits on the kang, but the children only took one.
"Take more. I bought a lot, especially for you to eat."
The children laughed happily, "Thank you, Sister Shuyu, we'll just try it. The candies and biscuits are expensive, so you can keep them for yourself."
After Shen Shuyu finished eating the goose leg, he wiped his hands, went out to get a bowl and made three bowls of malted milk for them.
To drink malted milk, they formed a circle, holding the bowls, and each drank two sips until the three bowls of malted milk were finished.
"Sister Shu Yu, this malted milk smells so good." The children smacked their lips, savoring the malted milk.
They were happy just to have enough to eat, let alone drink malted milk.
As for the money to buy malted milk, everyone can afford it. This thing is expensive, hard to buy, and it doesn't fill you up. If you ask them to buy it, it's impossible.
Instead of spending money on malted milk, it’s better to buy meat.
Except for JINBO, none of the other kids had ever drunk malted milk.
Jinbao is the only child in the family. Although Wu Hua always scolds him now, if he wants to eat something, Wu Hua will grit her teeth and buy it for her son after he calls her a few times.
Shen Shuyu stood up and wanted to make a few more bowls, but Goudan and the others shook their heads, "No more, we're full."
Sister Shu Yu had already made three bowls of tea for them to drink. They couldn't be ungrateful. Malted milk was so precious and they were satisfied after just a few sips.
Shen Shuyu and the children were in the house, while Shen Chunling was busy in the kitchen preparing delicious food for her eldest niece.
When she came back, Old Man and Old Lady Shen were very happy and asked the people from the first, second and third rooms to have dinner together tonight.
The first, second and third rooms were also busy preparing meals for tonight.
