Wen Nuan hasn't seen Commander Lu for a long time.
When I went to Northeast China last September, I came over to have a meal with her, but I only stayed for three hours before going back to work.
During the Chinese New Year, Commander Lu said he would come in mid-February, but it happened that the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, so his visit was delayed until now.
Before they reached the gate of the courtyard, Commander Lu's tall figure came out. When he saw Wen Nuan, he smiled and said, "Xiao Nuan, come in quickly."
"Grandpa, you're here." Wen Nuan quickened her pace subconsciously, but the next second Gu Qinghan behind her grabbed her arm.
The man frowned and reminded, "Walk slowly."
Commander Lu came forward with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, walk slowly, Grandpa is here."
Then, Commander Lu asked in disbelief: "Xiao Nuan, are you really pregnant with twins?"
It's not that he had never seen twins before, but it was a surprise to see it happen to his own family.
However, I also feel sorry for my granddaughter, as I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to have two children.
"Yes, Grandpa." Wen Nuan touched her belly subconsciously and said with a smile, "Doctor Li and Doctor Zhao checked me just now, and they both said it's twins."
When Commander Lu heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a hint of joy: "There really are two of them? Oh, this must be your grandmother appearing in spirit!"
"Grandpa!" Wen Nuan subconsciously looked outside the door and reminded him, "Don't get too excited."
Although things have become much clearer in the past two years, we still have to be careful with our words.
"It's Grandpa's fault. He's so happy that he's confused." Commander Lu laughed twice. "When Grandpa returns to Beijing, I'll tell your parents and your grandmother. They will definitely be very happy too."
Wen Nuan saw that her grandfather was really happy for her, so she smiled and asked him, "Grandpa, when did you arrive in North City? Why didn't you call us in advance?"
The food hasn't been prepared at home yet. If I tell them in advance, I can go to the kitchen to buy some meat.
Commander Lu pursed his lips, cleared his throat, and said, "I just arrived. I happened to be passing by, so I stopped by."
Xiao Zhang, who was moving things nearby, heard his leader say this, so he smiled and greeted Wen Nuan: "Comrade Wen Nuan, Deputy Head Gu."
"Our commander wanted to give you a surprise, so he asked me not to call you."
In fact, Commander Lu had already planned it half a month ago and specially set aside three days to play in North City.
It's not just passing by.
Commander Lu glanced at the talkative Xiao Zhang, but did not deny it. He just said to Wen Nuan, "Let's go inside first."
Wen Nuan was overjoyed when she heard what Xiao Zhang said. She walked over to Commander Lu and said with a smile, "Then I'll make you a delicious meal tonight."
"No, no, no." Commander Lu subconsciously glanced at the warm pregnant belly and said, "Just sit down and rest."
Xiao Zhang followed behind the two of them, smiled and said, "Comrade Wen Nuan, let me show you my skills tonight, just don't be disgusted."
Wen Nuan chuckled and said, "Why would I dislike it? Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone went into the house together. Lele had finished eating two popsicles, then climbed onto a chair, took an enamel cup, and poured a glass of water.
Lele held a full glass of water in both hands, walked to Commander Lu, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, have some tea."
Maybe the little guy walked a little too fast, and the glass of water was a little full, so a lot of water spilled out.
"Hey, thank you Lele." Commander Lu was so happy to see that the little guy had grown a lot and could even pour water.
Xiao Zhang saw Commander Lu's slightly curved lips and felt that the commander had smiled more than he had in the past year.
"You're welcome." Lele held his head high, then ran back to the table, poured another glass of water, and handed it to Xiao Zhang: "Uncle, have some tea."
Xiao Zhang wiped his hands on his pants, took the enamel cup handed to him by Lele, and said with a smile: "Ah, I have one too. Uncle is thirsty, thank you."
Lele smiled and said, "Uncle, drink slowly. If you don't have any, there's more on the table."
Xiao Zhang looked at Lele's cute and tender face and didn't expect that after not seeing the child for a year, he had become so eloquent.
Commander Lu drank his tea, picked up the child and walked outside, saying, "Come, Grandpa brought you something, let's go out and take a look."
Lele hugged her great grandfather's shoulders excitedly and asked with a smile: "What is it? Is it fun? Or delicious?"
Commander Lu said with a smile as he walked: "Won't you know if you go out and take a look?"
Wen Nuan watched Commander Lu carry the child out of the door, and saw several more bags of things piled up in the house. She couldn't help but say to Gu Qinghan, "Grandpa bought so many things again."
Although it hasn't been unpacked yet, Wen Nuan roughly guessed that it would contain some snacks suitable for children, some daily necessities, and most likely Lele's clothes.
Gu Qinghan put his arm around his wife's shoulders, poured her a glass of water, and said with a smile, "Grandpa only sees you once a year, that's normal."
Commander Lu is much busier than them, and he is not a special person who can come whenever he wants. They only meet once a year, so it is not surprising that he has to prepare a little more.
Wen Nuan drank two sips of tea, then sat on the sofa to rest. She looked at the man and said, "Go prepare lunch. Xiao Zhang must be tired after driving all the way."
"Okay, we've walked for such a long time anyway, you should take a rest and don't get tired." Gu Qinghan added some tea to her cup and stroked her slightly red face with his fingertips.
Wen Nuan looked at the man and smiled: "It's okay, I won't be tired."
The Chinese medicine she had been taking for so long was very useful. She felt that her physical condition had been good in the past two years. She is now more than four months pregnant and her belly is not particularly big, so she can move around quite lightly.
As soon as Gu Qinghan entered the kitchen, Lele ran in holding a book: "Mom, look, great grandfather bought me a schoolbag and a book!"
Wen Nuan caught the child who ran in and asked with a smile: "Wow, Grandpa actually bought you a small schoolbag?"
The little guy has already carried the backpack by himself. Although it is not pink, it is also the color that children like. Lele can't put the small backpack down and is so happy that he can't stop smiling.
Lele turned around in front of Wen Nuan and said, "Mom, look at my schoolbag. Is it pretty?"
Shoulder bags are popular nowadays. Older people and adults all want to own an army green shoulder bag, but Lele's light blue one with white floral patterns is just suitable for children.
Wen Nuan nodded: "It looks good, very good."
Then she asked, "Thank you, great grandfather?"
Lele nodded: "Thank you, great grandfather also gave me a book, mom, take a look!"
Wen Nuan took the thick book handed to her by the child, and asked as she read it: "Oh, what book is it? Let me have a look."
"Oh, it's 100,000 Whys. That's perfect for you, Lele."
The little one has a lot of questions, but now with this book, she has enough time to read them slowly.
But the child can't read yet, so it's a good idea to use it as a bedtime reading for her at night.
Lele looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Then Mom, please read this book to me before you go to bed at night. I don't want to listen to Sun Wukong anymore."
warmth:"… "
"No problem, of course."
Lele took the book and although he couldn't read yet, he looked through the illustrations in the book curiously.
Commander Lu followed Lele in with a bag in his hand and handed it to Wen Nuan: "This is the fabric that Grandpa bought for you. I thought you could make a few bigger skirts for the summer."
Gu Qinghan said that Wen Nuan's due date is in September, which happens to be the summer and autumn in North City, so she doesn't need to wear too many clothes.
He asked an experienced female comrade, who said that in the later stages of pregnancy, as the belly gets bigger, wearing a skirt in the summer is convenient and cool.
Wen Nuan took the cloth handed to her by Commander Lu and said, "So much? It's enough for me to make two sets. I can leave the rest for the children."
Anyway, it is estimated that it will not be suitable for pregnant women to wear in the future. It would be a waste to make too many, and they would have to be taken apart and remade.
But there is such a thick stack of cloth here that it is definitely enough to make more than two sets.
Uncle Zhao had told her before that Commander Lu had not bought cloth to make clothes in all these years, and the down jacket she made was the first new piece of clothing he had worn in all the years he had followed Commander Lu.
"No need, just make it for yourself." Commander Lu thought about it and decided to prepare two copies.
Wen Nuan reached out and stroked the soft fabric, and said with a smile, "No need, Grandpa. We also have some cloth coupons that we haven't used yet."
The grandfather and grandson sat down and began to chat.
*
Maybe it was good luck, when Gu Qinghan was cooking, Sister Juxiang sent over a lot of mushrooms.
All things are reviving, and now is the time to eat mushrooms. These mushrooms are picked by the comrades in the kitchen team themselves in the mountains. Everyone knows that Wen Nuan is pregnant now, so it is not convenient for her to go up the mountain to pick them.
After sister Juxiang delivered the mushrooms, sister Guihua from the next door house knew that Commander Lu was coming, so she also brought some spare ribs.
Lunch was arranged, so Xiao Zhang went in to help prepare it.
Commander Lu happily took out a bottle of Moutai and wanted to have a drink with Gu Qinghan, but he gave up when he knew that Gu Qinghan had training in the afternoon.
After everyone had a simple lunch, they began to feel sleepy due to the warmth.
Commander Lu knew that she and the children were going to take a nap, so he made an excuse that he had something to do with Commander Xu and drove away with Xiao Zhang for a while.
After Commander Lu left, Wen Nuan went to the small room and took a look. She muttered, "It would be unfair to Grandpa if he were to sleep here."
The spring nights in the north city are still quite cold. Before, when Commander Lu came to the family compound, he lived in the cadre guesthouse arranged by Commander Xu. The environment there is much better than here.
Gu Qinghan hugged Wen Nuan's waist from behind and said softly, "When I get promoted, I will apply for a bigger house. Then when grandpa comes over, we will have a place to live."
Wen Nuan is pregnant with twins now, and there won’t be enough space to live in, so it will be necessary to move to a new house.
Hearing this, Wen Nuan turned around and hugged his thin waist, smiling: "Okay, then you work hard and let me live in a big house as soon as possible."
When she first came to North City, Wen Nuan was very satisfied when she saw the two-bedroom apartment, which also had an extra small room to store things.
But now that two children have come at once, there will definitely not be enough space for them to sleep.
However, Wen Nuan was not thinking about changing houses after Gu Qinghan's promotion. She was planning to save some more money and then go to Beijing to buy a courtyard house!
Not only will you have a separate yard, you can also have several houses, and the value of the property will appreciate in the future!
Just as he was thinking this, Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Okay, I will try my best."
When Wen Nuan was about to go back to sleep, Le Le held on to the book "100,000 Whys" that Commander Lu bought for her.
"Le Le, go back and take a nap first, or you won't be energetic in the afternoon."
Lele didn't even raise his head, "I'm not sleepy, I don't want to take a nap."
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows. This little guy got up at seven in the morning, then went to register for kindergarten and went to the hospital. How could he not be sleepy
Wen Nuan looked at the book in the child's hand and said, "Then let me read to you. Come back to the room with me."
Before he could finish his words, the little guy ran happily to his room with the book in his hands and climbed onto the bed by himself.
Wen Nuan couldn't do anything about her, so she planned to read a few pages to her and then slowly coax her to sleep.
Then he took the book from her hand and said with a smile: "After you finish reading, you have to go to bed obediently, understand?"
Lele took off her small vest by herself, then lay down and said with a smile: "Mom, then you read quickly!"
Seeing that she was so well behaved, Wen Nuan didn't intend to lie to her, so she opened the catalog, picked out a knowledge point that she was somewhat familiar with, and slowly expanded on it to her.
Wen Nuan loved to sleep a lot during the first three months. Because Gu Qinghan asked for leave for her, she was not planning to go to work during that period. She just took some time every day to go back to the factory to take a look.
During those few months, she developed the habit of going to bed early, getting up late, and taking a long nap in the afternoon.
Wen Nuan tossed and turned, but before she could coax the child to sleep, she fell asleep after touching the pillow.
After Gu Qinghan tidied up the clutter in the small room, he walked over to the room to see if his wife and children were asleep, intending to return to the team early for training.
Who knew that as soon as I quietly opened the door, I saw Wen Nuan holding a book and sleeping quietly.
But the little guy Lele, was lying on the bed, and when he saw Gu Qinghan come in, he raised a little finger and made a "hush" sound.
Then he whispered: "Dad, Mom is asleep."
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked over, sat next to the little girl, and asked her, "Why don't you sleep?"
Lele turned over, then grabbed one of his little feet and scratched it, "Daddy, I can't sleep."
"Go to sleep, the baby is already asleep." Gu Qinghan had no choice but to take off his shoes, climb onto the kang bed, and pat Lele's back: "Daddy will sleep with you for a while."
Lele hugged his little pillow, sat up, pointed to a corner and said, "When the baby comes out, they will sleep over there, and mommy, daddy and I will sleep over here."
"Okay, lie down quickly and don't wake up your mother." Gu Qinghan pulled the child back to the kang and made her lie down, motioning her to close her eyes.
This kang bed is very large. Many families with many children use it as a large bunk bed, which can accommodate seven or eight people. Therefore, there should be enough space when the baby is born.
The father and daughter talked casually about what would happen after the baby was born. A few days ago, Lele even found a rattle he bought two years ago from under the bed in the small room and said he would leave it for the baby.
Lele yawned, blinked slowly, and muttered, "I still have to feed the baby milk... powder by then."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Gu Qinghan watched the child fall asleep, his long eyelashes slightly curved like a small fan.
After the child fell asleep, he got off the kang, half-closed the door, and went back to the group.
*
Commander Lu stayed in North City for a total of five days. The day he was leaving happened to be Lele's first day of kindergarten.
So he slept at Wen Nuan's house the night before, and got up early the next morning to prepare to send the child to kindergarten with Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan was a light sleeper. When he heard Commander Lu get up, he also woke up Wen Nuan and the child.
As a result, the little guy who was fine last night refused to go to the kindergarten when he arrived. He hugged Wen Nuan tightly and relied on her.
Although the little girl was small, she was very strong. After hugging Wen Nuan, she refused to let go. Gu Qinghan was afraid of hurting her hand, so he didn't dare to use force.
But he was also worried that the child would have a tantrum and hurt his warm stomach, so he stood there anxiously.
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Qinghan and said, "It's okay. He probably didn't get enough sleep and is in a bad mood."
Last night, because Commander Lu stayed at their house and it was the night before school, the little guy was particularly noisy and refused to go to bed until after ten o'clock.
After getting on the kang, he made a lot of noise for a while. It must have been quite late when he fell asleep.
Wen Nuan patted the child on the back and coaxed him, "Mom and Dad have already told you that you can play with other kids in the kindergarten until five o'clock, and then I will pick you up."
"Mom promises you that kindergarten is definitely more fun than the kitchen. Look at all the kids in there."
Lele hugged Wen Nuan, put her smiling face on her belly, and said, "But they are crying."
The three adults looked at each other. You know what, the little guy is quite smart.
Because there were children of all ages, and there was a primary school next to the staff compound, so there were noises, crying, and laughter, but it was obvious that the crying of children was the sharpest and most piercing. No wonder the little guy was scared.
Commander Lu took the chocolate from Xiao Zhang, walked to Lele's side, and coaxed her, "Lele, how about drinking some chocolate before going back?"
He didn't have any skills in coaxing children, and Lele was very well behaved before. Even when he had a tantrum, it was just a small one and he rarely acted like this.
But Xiao Zhang has several younger brothers and sisters, and is good at coaxing children, so he prepared a lot of candies and chocolates before coming to Beicheng.
Now it can finally be used.
Lele looked at the chocolate handed to her by Commander Lu and was a little moved. She wanted to reach out and take it.
Gu Qinghan felt sorry for Wen Nuan and picked up the child. Lele pouted and looked like she was about to cry.
Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Don't you want to play on the swing in the kindergarten? Since no one is playing with it now, Dad will take you to play with it."
Lele's eyes were filled with tears. After seeing the swing in the kindergarten, he had some reaction and pointed at the swing and said, "Dad, take me over there quickly. I want to sit on it."
Wen Nuan couldn't help but smile as she saw Gu Qinghan coax the child into silence with just one sentence.
Commander Lu, who was holding chocolate on the other side, looked at what he had in his hand, threw it back to Xiao Zhang, and whispered to him: "Maybe you are tired of chocolate. When you return to Beijing, see if there are any other snacks."
He must be tired of it, otherwise why would Lele not want his chocolate
Xiao Zhang: "I understand, Chief!"
Hehehe, I’m in for another treat, I can buy various snacks to try!
After Lele finally started to play, Gu Qinghan asked the kindergarten teacher to help take the child back to class.
This time, Lele didn't show any emotion. He even waved to Wen Nuan and Commander Lu: "Goodbye, Grandpa, goodbye, Mom, goodbye, Uncle Xiao Zhang."
Wen Nuan also waved to her, and when she went back to class, she raised her voice and said, "Goodbye, Lele, mom will pick you up in the afternoon!"
Commander Lu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the little girl followed the teacher into the classroom. "Finally she's willing to go in."
It turns out that taking care of children is so tiring.
Thinking of this, Commander Lu looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Xiao Nuan, I have discussed with Qing Han that you are alone with a child and a big belly. When the time comes, ask someone to come and help you. You don't have to walk around."
During the past few days in North City, Commander Lu also noticed Gu Qinghan's behavior, and he was considered a family-oriented man.
But as a soldier, he knew that Gu Qinghan was very busy, and he was also a test pilot of a new fighter jet. Many times, even if he missed Gu's family, he had no way to do so.
He can rest assured about Wen Nuan's twins. He has consulted Zhao Qinyuan these days. Wen Nuan's pregnancy looks good and her nutrition is good. He will help take care of them.
Besides, Gu Qinglan is also a nurse, so I can feel more at ease with her around.
But Commander Lu couldn't bear to let Wen Nuan raise the little one alone, especially when she was pregnant with twins. Wen Nuan was his only child. If anything happened to her, he probably wouldn't have the ability to withstand the trauma of life as he did when he was young.
Wen Nuan knew about this matter. Grandpa and Gu Qinghan had already discussed it and it was probably confirmed.
In fact, Gu Qinghanzi had already mentioned it during the Chinese New Year, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he put it on hold.
But she couldn't help but ask, "Would this be inappropriate?"
Hiring a nanny is still a petty-bourgeois act these days. In the family compound, there are many military wives taking care of several children. Now that she is pregnant, she rarely goes to work. Some people are probably a little dissatisfied and are waiting to find fault with her.
If only someone could come and help, they could still afford it now, and she wouldn't have to work so hard.
Gu Qinghan thought about it for a while, then said, "Don't worry, Grandpa is planning to ask Uncle Zhao's wife to come over to help, just say she's a relative of Grandpa's. Just like Sister Guihua, her mother also came over to help take care of the children, who would have any objection?"
Wen Nuan smiled and looked at Commander Lu, "Then let Grandpa help arrange this matter. You can come in June or July. There's no rush."
I heard that Uncle Zhao also got married. I wonder if she needs any care.
Commander Lu was afraid that Wen Nuan would not agree and would have to take it on himself, but when he heard her say that, he just laughed and said, "Okay, let Grandpa take care of this."
"I'll definitely feel at ease with Grandpa here." Wen Nuan looked at the time and said, "Grandpa, are you in a hurry to go back for the meeting? It's almost time to leave now."
Hearing this, Commander Lu inadvertently revealed reluctance in his eyes. After looking at the kindergarten, he looked at Wen Nuan again and said, "Then take good care of yourself. If you have anything, call Grandpa."
Then Commander Lu said, "Don't run around. Just let Qinghan beat Grandpa."
"Okay, then Grandpa, have a safe journey." Wen Nuan watched Commander Lu get into the car and waved to him.
The car waited for a while before it set off, and Wen Nuan just stood there, watching his car.
Wen Nuan originally planned to go to the kitchen team after Commander Lu's car set off to see how the work in the factory was going now that spring had arrived.
But as soon as grandpa left, Lele suddenly ran out of the classroom, crying and shouting: "Mom—"
The kindergarten teacher rushed out and was determined not to let her go out. As a result, the little girl cried even louder and louder and almost fell to the ground.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s pregnant, but when Wen Nuan heard the baby crying like that, she felt so distressed that she wanted to go in and take the baby home.
After all, I have taken care of the little one for so long, and except for when he was a baby and cried so heartbreakingly, he has never cried like this since he could hear and speak.
Gu Qinghan listened to his daughter's crying and couldn't help but look back, "Should I..."
Wen Nuan guessed what the man was going to say and stopped him, "Let's not do it. By then, she will know that crying can solve things or events she doesn't like. What should she do if she doesn't know how to cry in the future?"
From childhood to adulthood, Lele has been relatively reasonable. Although he would cry, he would never use his crying to "threaten" adults.
Wen Nuan didn't want the child to start this, so she pulled Gu Qinghan and said, "Don't look at her, just leave."
As a result, the child cried even harder, and his parents screamed. Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan couldn't help crying, so they turned around and walked back to the kindergarten.
When the child saw the two people turning around, his crying finally subsided a little. The kindergarten teacher had already picked up the child and said something to Lele. The child sniffed and slowly stopped crying.
Wen Nuan walked over to wipe her tears, kissed her, and said, "Mom will come to pick up Lele this afternoon. Can I go buy popsicles with you then?"
Lele sniffed, her eyes filled with tears: "Then Mommy can't lie to Lele."
"I will definitely not lie to Lele." Although Wen Nuan was reluctant, she still said to the child, "There are still many children in the classroom who need teachers. Can Lele help the teacher take care of the children?"
Lele nodded, crying and laughing, and said, "Yes, Lele can sing for the children."
When the kindergarten teacher heard this, she smiled and said, "Then let's go back and sing for the children, okay?"
Lele nodded and followed the kindergarten teacher back.
Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan were reluctant to leave when they saw the children leaving, but they were afraid that the children would chase them out again, so they had to leave the kindergarten first.
On the way back to the family compound, Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan said, "If you don't want to come in the afternoon, I can come and pick up the child."
Wen Nuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's not necessary. Just continue your training as usual. I'm not too clumsy now, so I can do it."
The weather in April is still relatively suitable. Wen Nuan wants to take advantage of the young month and go back to the kitchen to prepare what can be done.
Gu Qinghan looked at her: "You really don't need me?"
Wen Nuan looked around and saw that there was no one around. She held Gu Qinghan's hand and said with a smile, "Really, it's not necessary. Isn't it just to pick up the child? And I promised Lele, how can I break my promise?"
Gu Qinghan said: "Then you have to pay attention to safety. If it is inconvenient, call me."
After the telephone was installed in the family compound, Wen Nuan basically never called him. It was always the little guy Lele who called.
He really wanted to receive a call from Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded: "I know, I will definitely call you if there is anything."
But Gu Qinghan was very busy and received many calls. Now they could see each other every day and they didn't have to chat on the phone anymore.
Wen Nuan added, "Besides, the people at the telephone switchboard office can hear me, and I can't do anything. I can't let them hear me saying, 'Qinghan, I miss you. When will you come home?'"
Gu Qinghan was amused by his wife's words, so he lowered his head and kissed his wife's red lips, saying: "Speak these words to me alone, no one else can listen."
Wen Nuan nodded: "That's right, of course you can't tell anyone else!"
Gu Qinghan's dark eyes darkened, and he looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Then tell me when you get home tonight?"
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "It's not impossible, but you have to solve it yourself after I tell you. I won't help you."
When Gu Qinghan heard this, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Instead of helping him, you tease him
*
The two chatted and laughed, and then Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan returned to the kitchen.
Gu Qinghan even went to the quartermaster's office to tell him not to let Wen Nuan do rough work, but the quartermaster just drove him away: "Who do you think I am, Luo Qingjun?"
In fact, it’s okay if warmth doesn’t come.
Wen Nuan first went to the factory to take a look. When everyone saw that Wen Nuan was back, they took the initiative to report the progress made over the past month.
Since the border defense forces received unanimous praise last year, the quartermaster said that after the Chinese New Year, several more troops called to inquire about the situation. Judging from the situation, the probability of successful cooperation will be very high.
After visiting the factory, Wen Nuan returned to the kitchen of the cooking class.
When Lao Zhong saw Wen Nuan coming, he frowned and said, "Comrade Wen Nuan, why are you here again?"
A few days ago, everyone heard from Sister Juxiang that Wen Nuan was pregnant with twins, so everyone didn't want Wen Nuan to walk around anymore, for fear that she might get bumped and bruised, and then they wouldn't know how to explain to Deputy Head Gu.
Wen Nuan washed her hands and said with a smile, "Why? I'm also a member of the kitchen team, why can't I come?"
"Besides, I want to seek benefits for everyone today."
Now that the factory is up and running and the workers have gotten the hang of it, she can simply resign or take unpaid leave.
The quartermaster has already prepared himself mentally that she will not return to the team until next year.
But Wen Nuan didn't want to rest so soon. At least she had to develop the most important thing.
Even if she wanted to come over by then, she wouldn't be able to take care of her children.
At least before the child could walk, she was worried about the family. Even after the child could talk and walk, the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and she wanted to leave some time to prepare.
Old Zhong frowned and said, "Then you can just tell us directly, and you don't have to go all the way. At worst, just write us a note."
Wen Nuan smiled at Lao Zhong and said, "Okay, then I say it now and you just do it."
In fact, Wen Nuan had no intention of working this time, and it was not her turn to do it, so she said, "I'm really not here to work this time. I just thought that everyone likes to drink, so we decided to build a stove and brew our own wine. Anyway, there are so many firewood rooms behind the kitchen, and they are empty anyway."
In summer, there will be a lot of fruits, and you can use the fruits to make some fruit wine, which is suitable for lesbians to drink, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t drink alcohol.
Wen Nuan planned to ferment some more sweet rice wine. She had heard that several female comrades at the ground staff kitchen said they liked to drink this.
This can be considered as a gift from her to her colleagues in the flight kitchen.
When Lao Zhong heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really?"
His favorite are those few cups of stuff. If he brews it himself, he can have some left over!
Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but we can't sell it. We'll keep it for ourselves."
Old Zhong put the kitchen knife in his hand down to the frame and made a noise, warning: "Whoever dares to sell our wine will have a problem with me, Zhong Yuguo, and I will beat him with a knife!"
The quartermaster smiled and said, "Okay, I declare that the wine we brew is for our kitchen staff and will not be used for anything else."
After finishing their work in the kitchen, the comrades in the cooking team began to build the stove. They were busy until the end of the shift when the stove was completed. Then it had to be left for a few days to dry.
*
Wen Nuan chose the right time to pick up her child from the kindergarten.
When we arrived at the kindergarten gate, there weren't many parents.
But they were all in the family compound, and most of them were acquaintances. I had been planning to build a relationship with Wen Nuan, but Le Le was the first one to run out.
"Mother-"
Compared to his pitiful appearance in the morning, Lele is much happier now, with no signs of crying. It seems that his first day of kindergarten was very fun.
The kindergarten teacher came out with more than 20 children. Unexpectedly, Lele was the first to run out of the classroom. She couldn't help but call her: "Gu Wanyue, don't run. Come back to the teacher."
Lele didn't seem to realize that her name was "Gu Wanyue", so she turned a deaf ear and ran straight towards Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan was the first to notice the teacher's panic. She stretched out her hand to block Le Le's rushing figure and said, "Gu Wanyue, the teacher is calling you, didn't you hear it?"
Wen Nuan pulled the confused little kid back to the classroom door: "I'm sorry, Teacher Yu, Lele ran out when he saw me."
The teacher wiped her sweat and said, "I'm glad she's okay. I was just worried that she would run out of the school by herself."
Wen Nuan chatted with the teacher for a while, and knowing that she was going to take the children home from school, she took Lele's hand and taught her to say, "Lele, say goodbye to the teacher."
Lele waved her white and tender little hand: "Goodbye, teacher."
The teacher smiled and said, "Goodbye, I will be waiting for you to play in the kindergarten tomorrow."
Wen Nuan thought Lele was having so much fun, so she agreed without hesitation. However, Lele shook his head and said, "Teacher, I won't come tomorrow. I have to work in the kitchen. You have to work hard too."
Wen Nuan quickly covered the child's mouth and smiled at Teacher Yu: "Goodbye, teacher. I will bring the child here tomorrow."
