Chapter 358: If the grapes aren't ripe yet, then you wait a little longer
Today, Pei Yan Ting also worked overtime until past 7 in the evening and didn't have time to have dinner with her cousin.
However, according to her man, they ate very well in the evening.
After she got home, she ate chicken soup noodles.
"Where did you buy the chicken? Did you eat in the evening?"
Pei Yan Ting saw the chicken soup noodles and didn't rush to eat, asking first.
The two of them, along with her grandfather, ate with her sister's family, without paying for food expenses, always eating for free and taking advantage, which wasn't good.
Even brothers settle accounts clearly; she couldn't always let her sister and her husband suffer losses.
"We ate white-cut chicken, the brother-in-law specifically saved chicken soup, and chicken legs, saying it was to nourish your body."
Lu Xiu Bai answered his wife's question while fanning away mosquitoes.
Thinking for a moment, he added:
"The younger sister is resting the day after tomorrow, going outside the Sea Island to cut her hair. At that time, I'll give some money and coupons to the younger sister to spend, so they don't suffer losses."
Lu Xiu Bai was just a bit mindless in front of people, which didn't mean he was truly stupid.
He didn't have the intention to take advantage, always compensating in other places.
As a family, it wasn't good to calculate too clearly.
"Fine, as long as you have a sense of it in your heart."
Pei Yan Ting felt much more at ease; perhaps because her husband was a father now, she felt he had matured a lot.
"By the way, you keep an eye out for excellent single military officers for Yaoyao. I only have this one own sister, her lifelong event..."
"Alright, alright, I will keep an eye out. Fate is not something to be rushed.
If the grapes aren't ripe yet, then you wait a little longer..."
While talking, Lu Xiu Bai casually slapped another mosquito to death.
Knowing his wife loved cleanliness, he got up to scoop water to wash his hands.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The annoying mosquitoes were flapping their wings by her ears, and Pei Yan Ting silently accelerated the speed of eating.
These mosquitoes were truly like ghosts that wouldn't go away!
Now there was propaganda everywhere about drinking water safety; only boiled water could be consumed, and raw water and overnight water should be avoided as much as possible.
It wasn't being poor and fastidious; it was that mosquitoes liked to lay eggs in water!
Sigh, thinking about it was quite disgusting...
Pei Yao's vacation was only half a month; traveling back and forth from the Capital took eleven or twelve days, and the remaining time, counting fully, was only three days.
So, the time she spent alone with her sister was only one day.
The next time they met, it would be the end of April next year.
Pei Yao was just joking at first, but seeing that her sister and grandfather took helping her find a partner very seriously, she also started to care a bit more.
Because Pei Yan Ting was carrying her belly, the two didn't go to crowded places to toss about; more of it was the sisters chatting and sharing what they had seen and heard since they were separated all these years.
Pei Yao said she had stayed at a hospital in Jinling for a few months to study, saw the museum there, and saw many, many heavy things.
She also said that at the Capital First People's Hospital, she encountered strange illnesses and patient families who made a scene at the hospital.
She talked about how terrible the food in the Capital was, and the canteen food was just those few things over and over again.
She talked about how her parents were still the same, not staying home, treating their workplace as home...
Besides these, there was the fact that the Capital had changed a lot, changing with each passing day.
Buses, telephone booths, shops selling bicycles, televisions, and other electrical appliances were starting trial operations.
These things weren't very novel to Pei Yan Ting.
But to Amei, it was completely novel.
She had never heard of it, let alone seen it.
Through Pei Yao's narration, she felt the world was truly big, and the motherland had changed so much.
When Pei Yao was tired of talking, she handed over a glass of water at the right time and asked curiously:
"Comrade Pei, I saw on TV that a memorial hall was built for the Chairman. Can ordinary people like me have the opportunity to go in and pay respects in the future?"
"Of course you can. In the Chairman's Memorial Hall, there is calligraphy written by the Chairman himself, as well as poems left by the Chairman during his lifetime, and famous quotes that guide us. At specific times, it is open to visitors..."
Pei Yao nodded affirmatively; this matter was open and transparent.
Not only compatriots from the country, overseas Chinese, but also some international friends who came to visit with kind intentions, the memorial hall would also be open to the outside world.
Of course, before going in, there would be a security check.
In case there were criminals carrying explosives, ink, and other bad materials, that would be a devastating blow to the items in the memorial hall!
After Amei got the answer, a thought took root in her heart, and she said embarrassedly:
"Thank you for the answer. I think, in my lifetime, if I am lucky enough to go to the Capital, I will definitely go to the memorial hall, go to Tiananmen, and watch the national flag rise..."
Pei Yao was moved by the yearning and firm spirit in Amei's eyes and encouraged:
"Come on, I believe you will have the opportunity to go!"
"Mm!"
Amei nodded heavily; she would, she would definitely go to the Capital!
Pei Yan Ting hugged her daughter who was gnawing on a mango, thinking that when she had time in the future, she would also take her daughter to the Capital.
Go home and have a look, go to the Chairman's Memorial Hall and have a look.
The Capital was her hometown.
The Sea Island was her home now.
"Mommy, go out and play!"
"Want to go out and play."
"Hit, dumplings!"
Lian Lian didn't know her mother had some homesickness; after gnawing on a piece of sweet mango, she didn't want it anymore, and regardless of what color the bib on her chest had become, she kept squeezing into her mother's arms.
"Hit dumplings?"
What kind of game was this?
Except for Pei Yao, Pei Yan Ting and Amei knew what was going on.
"Dumplings is the son of a military wife who is on good terms with us in the family courtyard. Lian Lian just loves to bully this little guy..."
Pei Yan Ting leaned back slightly, reaching out to block some of the force of her daughter throwing herself into her arms.
If she let the little one rush in, her belly wouldn't be able to take it, and she might even have a premature birth!
"Be good, Dumplings isn't home today, Dumplings' mommy took him to the Red Education Garden."
Pei Yan Ting tried to reason with her daughter, but the little one wouldn't listen, wanting to go out and play, wanting to go out and play; if she didn't go out, she would roll on the ground.
Mm, she was really rolling!
Although there was a straw mat on the ground, rolling like this was a bit sloppy.
"Sister, we weren't this wild when we were little; this must be following brother-in-law."
After Pei Yao finished sighing, she gripped the water cup in her hand and retreated a distance without a sound.
It was a pity that brother-in-law wasn't on the scene, otherwise she would have to "mock" brother-in-law hard.
"..."
Pei Yan Ting was speechless, wanting to pull her daughter up, but carrying her belly, she was really powerless.
Fortunately, Amei was very sensible; seeing this, she had already gone to coax Lian Lian with ease, taking off the little one's bib.
Carrying her to the water basin that had been filled at some point, washing the little one's mouth clean, washing her hands clean...
Pei Yan Ting just wanted to say, the ten-yuan nursing fee a month was really worth it!
It was fortunate that there was Amei to help take care of the babies, otherwise she and her sister would be flustered to death! ===== CHAPTER 359 =====
