After the Spring Festival, life quickly returned to calm.
This Spring Festival, to be honest, is a bit deserted.
In addition, there was another blizzard the day before yesterday, and everyone chose to stay at home. There were not many people on the street, and the entire society was once again pressed on the pause button.
The situation at Lao Zhang's side is similar.
Since there was no sun, Li Dajuan specially raised a big rooster in the small yard. She would get up every morning listening to the rooster's crow and then quickly prepare breakfast.
Then ask the juniors to get up and eat.
To be honest, it has been more than three months since we entered the polar night environment, and many people’s biological clocks have not yet fully adjusted and cannot adapt to the current pace of life.
In addition, since I don’t have a job, I usually eat and sleep, and sleep and eat, so there is no distinction between day and night.
The old man is afraid that his children will develop the bad habit of sleeping in, so he insists on making breakfast every morning, regardless of wind or snow.
"Dongdongdong...get up, don't sleep."
Compared with the younger twins, it is harder for the three Kevin brothers to get up early, and they have to be called several times every day to arrive late.
Zhang Jiayi had almost finished eating. She raised her head and glanced at the three brothers and sisters, and instantly frowned:
"Xiaohao, can school still start this semester?"
"Based on the analysis of the current situation, I'm afraid it's not very optimistic." Zhang Hao shook his head directly, "It is estimated that it will be September, which is exactly the same time as last year."
"What about the three of them? They can't stay at home all the time, right?"
"Honey, what do you think?"
Steven asked casually.
"I want to find a part-time job for them, and treat it as an early internship."
Zhang Jiayi expressed her thoughts.
Li Dajuan immediately complained: "Isn't it good to stay at home? It's icy and snowy outside, it's damp and cold, don't freeze them."
"Mom, the three of them are not children, so don't worry about this."
Zhang Jiayi waved her hand with a firm attitude.
"Mom, can we choose our own jobs?"
Seeing this, Kevin tentatively whispered.
Kelly works in his mother's company. He wants to spend time with his girlfriend, so that he can have both work and love.
"Emma is staying with me. You two are strong. Go to the breeding farm below and learn how to grow mushrooms first."
"Ah? Can't we stay in the office?"
"No, your age is suitable for some hardships. What can you learn in the office?"
Zhang Jiayi refused without mercy.
The eldest son's evil thoughts cannot be hidden from her at all.
Zhang Hao took the opportunity to suggest: "Why don't we just let them go to Southeast Fisheries? I'll find a more powerful master to take them. Even if you endure hardship, you have to pay attention to the method."
"It's fine to go to your place!" Zhang Jiayi nodded.
"Thank you, uncle."
Kevin immediately beamed.
Although we are not in the same office, we are in the same office building and there are many opportunities to meet.
……
After breakfast, Li Dajuan called her two biological mothers, and the three of them led the twins to the vegetable garden.
During the Spring Festival, the canteen in Shawei Village was temporarily closed, and there were suddenly more vegetables at home. She planned to pick some more sauerkraut.
In addition to radish and cabbage, I also pickled some cucumbers, which my second son-in-law and grandchildren like to eat.
After working all morning, I finally made three large jars full of sauerkraut. The pottery jars were bought from the village and were old sauerkraut jars that had been used for more than ten years.
The villagers didn't need it, so they gave it to her directly.
At noon, because the distance was too far, neither son nor daughter came back for dinner. Instead of cooking, Li Dajuan made two hot pots.
A beef pot, a seafood pot, and a pot of rice make a simple meal.
After lunch, several village women came to visit, and Li Dajuan warmly entertained them.
"Lao Li, your house is still warm. Our stove can't keep it warm no matter how hard it is turned on."
Fan Xiurong helped her granddaughter take off her thick coat.
"Are the doors and windows not sealed properly?"
"How dare you seal it all? It's easy to get poisoned."
"It's no wonder. You can try to install a chimney. It will be safer if you have a chimney."
Li Dajuan suggested on the spot.
"Forget it, it's not safe. Let's move back to the garage tomorrow! Although the air in the garage is not good and there is a lot of dust, it is at least safe enough."
Zhou’s mother brought over a fruit plate: “Let’s eat strawberries, we just picked them this morning.”
"Do you grow strawberries at home?"
Looking at the fresh and tender strawberries, several people's throats couldn't help but surge up and down.
The three little girls who were brought here widened their eyes and kept swallowing.
"I just planted a ridge of land." Li Dajuan grabbed a handful of strawberries and gave them to the three little children one by one: "You don't have to be polite at Grandma Li's house, you can eat whatever you want."
"Thank you, Grandma Li."
After the kids finished speaking, they took the strawberries and stuffed them into their mouths. The living conditions in the village were pretty good, but don't even think about the fruit. It's not a matter of money, because you can't buy it at all.
Fan Xiurong then tasted a strawberry. The sour and sweet taste instantly pierced her heart:
"It's so sweet. Where are your big pudding and small pudding?"
"The two of them have helped me with farm work all morning. They are probably tired and taking a nap. Don't worry about them. You can just eat."
After a while, the strawberries were finished.
Everyone sat in the living room and chatted. Li Dajuan took out wool and started knitting a sweater.
"Lao Li, there are so many people in your family, why don't you hire a nanny?"
"What kind of nanny should I hire? I can still do it."
Li Dajuan said indifferently.
"Your Lao Zhang and Zhang Hao are both capable people. It doesn't cost much to hire a nanny. Why do you have to work so hard?"
"Hey, please don't be in a hurry to ask for a nanny. I hope my Xiaohao can get a wife soon."
"Speaking of this, I have already found out what you asked me to ask about last time."
"Really? Tell me quickly."
Li Dajuan immediately put down what he was doing and couldn't help but urge.
Last time at Nantan Aoyuan Community, her son finally fell in love with someone. Originally, she didn't want to interfere, fearing that it would backfire and arouse her son's resentment.
But a few months have passed, and there is no response from my son. He is either staying at home or busy outside. He must have forgotten about it.
As a last resort, she, the old mother, had to take action herself and find a way to have a blind date.
"That Yang Huaqing, her family bought a house in Aoyuan Community. Her father is a university professor and her mother is a housewife and does not work.
She is twenty-six years old and is a freelance worker. What she does specifically is not yet known. In addition, she has a younger brother who is in high school and is about the same age as your Emma."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a job, what matters is your character?"
"I come from a scholarly family, so it should be no different."
"Have you ever been married? Have you had children?"
Li Dajuan asked again.
"She is not married and has no children. I chatted with her mother for a while, and her mother told me personally that their Yang Huaqing usually likes to stay at home and has never even had a boyfriend."
"Hey, isn't there something wrong with your health?"
Li Dajuan suddenly hesitated.
After all, this situation is very abnormal.
Fan Xiurong shook his head: "I don't think so. The girl looks very healthy and doesn't look sick at all. My daughter said that this kind of situation should belong to some kind of social fear, that is, she is afraid of meeting strangers."
"It doesn't matter if you're afraid of meeting strangers, as long as you can live your life." Li Dajuan breathed a sigh of relief.
