Going through the book and raising younger siblings

Chapter 83
Chinese New Year
"Xiaobao, what about you? What are you asking for?" Xia Yunbo asked.

"I ask Bodhisattva to bless me to realize my dream. When I grow up, I will become a good doctor like Brother Chunhua. I want you not to get sick and live to be a hundred years old."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Xiaobao was a little shy: "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"Yes, Xiaobao's wish is very great. He does not seek for himself, but seeks health for others, and blesses his family with a long life. If you are so kind, the Bodhisattva will make your wish come true."

"Brother Chunhua, what about you? What are you asking for?" Xiaobao asked with his red face upturned.

Xia Yunbo smiled and looked at Zhang Yu: "I hope you are all safe and healthy, and I hope we can be together forever."

Xiaobao: "Of course we will be together forever! We will always be as happy as today."

"Well, well, always be as happy as today."

When they went down the mountain, it was already noon, Xia Yunbo asked Zhang Yu what he wanted to eat.

Zhang Yu thought about it, Er Niu and Xiao Bao, maybe they haven't eaten rice noodles before!Rice noodle was a special snack in the city where Zhang Yu lived in his previous life, but he did not expect to have this special snack in this city after traveling here.

"Let's go eat rice noodles! You should know what kind of rice noodles I like to eat."

"I know that there is a family whose pig's knuckle noodle tastes the most to your taste, so let's eat pig's knuckle noodle."

They drove to the city and found the pork knuckle noodle shop.

Xia Yunbo said that this restaurant has just opened for more than half a year. He has eaten here before and thinks the taste is okay.

Sure enough, there were so many guests inside that there were no vacant seats.

Xia Yunbo asked them to find a seat, and he went to buy rice noodles.

Zhang Yu and his younger siblings stood in the crowded shop for a long time before seeing two people leaving after eating, Erniu and Xiaobao hurried to occupy a seat.

At this time, Xia Yunbo had already bought rice noodles and brought them over.

Zhang Yu hurried over to help, and brought over the rice noodles together.

Zhang Yu asked Erniu and Xiaobao to eat first, she and Xia Yunbo went to find a stool, and finally found two stools, stuffed them next to Erniu and Xiaobao, and then began to eat.

Xia Yunbo apologized to Zhang Yu and said, "I didn't know it would be so crowded here today, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"It's okay, isn't it good!"

It was impossible for Zhang Yu in her previous life to eat in such a restaurant, but now, she can eat no matter what kind of environment she is in.

Someone left next to them, and they moved the stool away to make it a little looser.

Xia Yunbo looked at Zhang Yu: "How does it taste?"

"It's not bad. Under the background of this era, this kind of taste should be considered good."

Zhang Yu looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and found that they had already eaten up.

Seeing their unfinished expressions, Zhang Yu said: "Are you two full? How about another bowl?"

Xiao Bao quickly nodded and licked his mouth: "This rice noodle is so delicious, it's the best thing I've ever eaten."

Er Niu said: "This rice noodle, how much is a bowl, is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, thirty cents a bowl, plus two taels of food stamps."

"Thirty cents, quite expensive."

Zhang Yu said distressedly: "It's only [-] cents, it's really not expensive. Besides, it's only [-] yuan. We love to eat, and if we want to eat, we can buy it for you."

Xia Yunbo stood up and said, "I'll go buy two more bowls."

Zhang Yu: "Er Niu, we make money all day long, isn't that what we earn and spend? Don't be reluctant, you always treat yourself badly. Besides, it's only [-] cents, and we can't afford it."

Er Niu looked gloomy.

"For the four of us, it's one yuan and two, and if we buy two more bowls, it's one yuan and forty cents, and one catty is two and two taels of food stamps. If we had one yuan and fifty cents, it would be enough for grandpa to go to the doctor, and he wouldn't leave us."

Zhang Yu was startled, and felt pain in his heart.

It turned out that the child, Erniu, remembered her grandfather.

Zhang Yu had never met his grandfather, and only knew that he was a good grandfather, but because he had no money to see a doctor, he turned his minor illness into a serious illness, and finally left the three of them behind.

Er Niu is kind and sensible by nature, she never forgets her grandfather's departure.

Before, Zhang Yu didn't understand why Er Niu valued money so much at such a young age, but now she understands a little bit.

Zhang Yu has never experienced that kind of rare life without a penny, nor has he experienced the tragedy of his relatives leaving because of lack of money for medical treatment. No wonder Xiaobao wants to be a doctor. He thinks that becoming a doctor will be able to Protect family members from getting sick and from leaving loved ones behind.

Xia Yunbo brought over two bowls of rice noodles and placed them in front of Xiaobao and Erniu.

"Eat! If it's delicious, eat as much as you want."

Xiao Bao couldn't wait to bury his head down to eat, while Er Niu pushed the bowl in front of Zhang Yu.

"I can't finish it, so I'll give you some!"

Zhang Yu naturally knew Er Niu's appetite. It was not a problem to eat two bowls of rice noodles, not to mention that she had already digested the buns she ate in the morning after climbing a mountain today, so she couldn't finish them all.

"Er Niu, eat it! I ate an extra bun this morning, so I'm not hungry. Besides, if I don't have enough, I'll buy more."

"Brother Chunhua, I'll pick some for you."

"That's enough for me, Er Niu, eat more, and I have to go to the playground to play later, today is quite exhausting."

Xiaobao on the side said: "Second sister, if you can't finish eating, just give it to me, and I can eat more."

Zhang Yu: "No way, Xiaobao, have you forgotten about eating too much? If you eat too much today, you won't be able to go to the playground."

Xiao Bao could only obediently bow his head and eat his food.

Er Niu stopped talking and ate rice noodles silently.

Zhang Yu was in a complicated mood, Xia Yunbo keenly caught her bad mood, and whispered in her ear: "What's the matter?"

"Later."

When everyone came out after eating, sure enough, Xiaobao was a little full.

Zhang Yu proposed to go shopping in the shopping mall. On the one hand, he would take a stroll to let Xiaobao digest it, and on the other hand, he would prepare some new year's goods.

Going to Zhao's house for dinner tomorrow is very meaningful. Zhang Yu is going there as a future daughter-in-law, so this time, she can't dress casually like last time. She plans to buy a good dress.

In the end, she chose a pink woolen coat, which cost 65 yuan.I also bought a pair of blue trousers for 15 yuan, and a pair of flat leather shoes with a middle heel for 16 yuan.

She also bought a suit for Erniu and Xiaobao.

Er Niu insisted on not wanting it. She said that when school started half a year ago, she bought her one set, and Aunt Li Jiahui bought two more sets. Her clothes were enough to wear, and they were all new.

Zhang Yu said: "Why is it new? I have been wearing it for half a year. I have to wash clothes for the New Year. Let's wear them for the New Year."

It's hard to say, but Er Niu reluctantly accepted it.
