Zhang Guoqing also hurriedly rode his bicycle to Zhoujiacun. It is estimated that it is seven o'clock and the village is all working. There were no people seen along the way, except for a few old ladies and old men, but some kids.
The door to the Zhou’s compound was open, and Zhang Guoqing went straight into the cart and shouted:
Grandpa, grandma, I’m Xiaowu, are you there?
Grandma Zhou came out to greet him to go in: "I heard that Jiaojiao gave birth to a big fat boy last night, isn't she? Is she in good health now? This confinement will have to trouble your mother to take care of."
Zhang Guoqing followed Granny Zhou into the main hall, and Old Man Zhou was smoking a dry cigarette bite by bite. After seeing Zhang Guoqing, he nodded and asked him to be next to him.
"Grandpa, I'm here to announce the good news today. I'm a bit late, and I just came back from the city. I want to buy some trotters to make up for her early.
No, I will go back to you directly after I buy it. I haven't gone back yet. My mother asked you and grandma to take part in the fun. "Zhang Guoqing explained to the old man.
Elder Zhou nodded: "Okay, you can take two hens and eggs back later. Your grandma specially raised Jiaojiao as a confinement. We will also help find other things. This confinement will be done well. I've made your mother happy this month. In the future, I will let Jiaojiao take good care of your mother."
Grandma Zhou then said at the end: "How heavy is the baby? Did you get last night? Was it good at night? I was good when I was little, and never made people at night."
Zhang Guoqing saw that the two old men looked expectant, so he told them carefully: "Jiaojiao had an attack yesterday afternoon. She was only born four hours later. She fainted at that time. She woke up after 8 o'clock in the evening. I ate a large bowl of chicken noodle soup and two eggs. The baby was born more than 6 kilograms. Just started drinking some hot water and fell asleep. At eight or nine o'clock, after Jiaojiao started breastfeeding, the baby fell asleep when he was full. I woke up at 2 a.m. and had milk again. I went out at 5 a.m. and both of them were sleeping, and my mother took care of them from my class."
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou were happy when they heard the words. Grandma Zhou said that when she was petite, she was so behaved.
The two old men asked in detail what they prepared for confinement at home, and whether the children’s winter clothes were enough? These were originally prepared by the mother's family and Zhou's mother.
Now Grandma Zhou is also a little embarrassed. Zhang Guoqing knew in his heart that it was not that Zhou's mother hadn't prepared, but that she was stunned. It is estimated that the two old people are also in the dark. .
But he didn't plan to open it either. It was the last time anyway, and I would like to receive something to his son again in the future, dreaming. Having said that, I remembered that the business has not been mentioned yet.
Zhang Guoqing looked at Grandpa Zhou, touched his forehead, and said, "Grandpa, I want to tell my grandma, mother-in-law, second uncle, and aunt. But I don't have an address. I want to send something to show my heart.
Then Jiaojiao’s hukou is not with us. Without hukou, there is no food ration, and we also didn’t get our marriage certificate. Want to see what Grandpa said? "
Grandma Zhou didn't wait for Grandpa Zhou to react, she told Zhang Guoqing to wait for her to get it. Zhang Guoqing kept secretly observing Grandpa Zhou's reaction.
Sure enough, Grandpa Zhou wanted to say something but stopped, trying to hold Grandma Zhou. It is estimated that it is not easy to refuse in front of Zhang Guoqing, his face is suffocated, and he sighed and then began to smoke again.
Fortunately, Grandma Zhou was fast enough, she quickly took out a few envelopes and stuffed them into Zhang Guoqing's hands. Zhang Guoqing was amused secretly. It is estimated that Grandma Zhou understands Grandpa Zhou's thoughts, so she has no way out for him.
He followed Grandma Zhou's hand and put the envelope in his underwear pocket. It's really empty envelope, what does it mean? Is the content in my heart shameless or does Zhou Jiao know that it is not the truth, it was Grandpa Zhou intentionally?
Grandpa Zhou still suffocated a sentence for a long time: "Xiao Wu, when you send the package to me, I will also see what to send. If you don't have time, let your uncle go. He knows the post office. "
Zhang Guoqing is secretly funny. Grandpa Zhou is so old that he doesn't even believe in children. It is true that anyone who knows the post office is afraid that his letters will be confiscated.
As for Uncle Zhou, he is not easy to judge once he is a junior. Who knows if he is really clever or fake. He was never a villain. Grandpa Zhou was born into a big family, grandma Zhou, who is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, will educate fools? If you are a idiot, you can't be eccentric to the armpit.
Zhang Guoqing nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain to see what wild animals are, and it will be better to post them at that time." Promise is one thing, and how to do it is another thing.
"Grandpa, don't smoke dry cigarettes. This is bad for your health. If you want to smoke, use sugar to quit. Jiaojiao is worried about you and grandma's health. And how is your grandma's body now? Is there any effect now? Jiaojiao said that you have rheumatism in winter, so it’s not good to stay overnight. If you need to tell me what you need, I will go into the mountains to see if there is any."
Grandma Zhou took Zhang Guoqing's hands, patted them, and said, "It's useless, this is a senile disease. When a person gets old, the body becomes weak, and I will get the pulse myself. Winter is here and bring a lot of the wolf skin you sent last time. Good boy, tell Jiaojiao not to worry, her grandma's body isn't so easy to collapse."
"Okay, I will persuade her. When the weather is better, this month you want to see Jiaojiao. You can find someone to give me a message. I will ride over to pick you up. You will accompany her to chat. I will accompany her when she finishes her confinement. She came to see you."
"Haha, you kid, it’s only a few steps away, and I’ll go over it slowly. Now that the child is young, you can help her take care of the child if you have nothing to do. You must do well in this confinement, or the age is too young, too early to give birth The baby has a loss. If you can still use bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin to adjust the best." Grandma Zhou said regretfully.
Zhang Guoqing was overjoyed when he heard this. No one else has such a tonic. He has one, so he just asked an expert. I don’t know how Jiaojiao learned medical skills. UU reading www.uukanshu.com knows how to use it?
Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and thought, how he should find an excuse to take out these things, it can't be doubted. With a question on his face, he asked curiously: "Grandma, tell me, where can I buy donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest now? Can you find it in the black market?"
Grandma Zhou shook her head: "Well, bird's nest, don't say you can't buy such an expensive thing now, you can't even buy it. Bird's nest also exists in large households with rich heritage, ordinary people did not see it, and the landlord was liquidated after liberation. The wealthy households have no one dare to sell them.
As for Ejiao, it may be available on the black market, but it is not convenient for us. If you go to Shandong, you can buy good Ejiao, which is the Ejiao factory. If Ejiao has it, how to eat Jiaojiao knows, she will adjust it. "
Zhang Guoqing's eyes brightened as he listened to him, and even Grandpa Zhou looked at him curiously. This kid is really not showing his face. I have long felt that this kid is a ghost, but fortunately he is sincere to Jiaojiao.
"Grandma, you forgot my sister-in-law and her second brother is a sports car in the textile factory. I ran to him to find a way. He must know the sports car when he goes out often. Contact to see who brought some from Shandong."
Grandma Zhou nodded, this is a good way. Also happy for Jiaojiao. "That's fine. It's good to eat at ordinary times. You tell Jiaojiao not to be uncomfortable. The money her mother sends every month is enough for her to eat, and she can afford it."
"No, I sold some wild animals and have private money. My mother let me keep it. It's okay to raise a Jiaojiao. I also plan to tell her not to remit money from my mother-in-law. We are all married, and then let her I felt ashamed when I sent the money. I'll go to the city in the afternoon to find someone to buy donkey-hide gelatin." Zhang Guoqing revealed this deliberately so as not to let them blame his mother-in-law.
"Also, you are all grown up. Tell your mother well, it is not easy for her."
