Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 221
Xia Zhongguo's funeral was over before midsummer arrived.

Accompanied by the dense green leaves growing on the green hills and the cicadas singing one after another in the mountains, Xia Nuan's father was buried in the middle of the mountains peacefully and peacefully.

In a place not far from Xia Nuan's home and the crops in the countryside, she will sleep forever.

Although it is almost time to miss the busy farming season every year, every child in the Xia family knows that the crops in the countryside are where Xia Zhongguo has spent his whole life.

Therefore, none of you would like to let the cropland be abandoned like this because of Xia Zhongguo's departure.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law offered to let Wang Ximei live with them, but Wang Ximei refused.

"I'm not immobile, I won't go to your house." Wang Ximei said stubbornly.

But everyone was worried about Wang Ximei's health, afraid that something would happen to her after such a big change.

Xia Nuan's elder brother discussed with Xia Nuan and the others for several days, and finally decided that, except for Xia Nuan and his sister-in-law, everyone else would go back to their hometown in the countryside to stay with Wang Ximei for a while.

One is that it is possible to plant the crops at the last time of the busy farming season.

The second is that, during this period of time, Wang Ximei can have something to do, so that she can get busy, so she won't be thinking about sad things all the time.

And having her son with her can also relieve her unhappiness to a great extent.

Because Xia Nuan and sister-in-law both had children to take care of, after the funeral, Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling first accompanied Wang Ximei back to the old house in the countryside.

After the funeral, Wang Ximei's spirit has actually gradually improved.

Maybe it's because people are old, and many things are easier to think about than young people.

Wang Ximei gradually accepted the fact of Xia Zhongguo's death, and felt that she couldn't let her children worry about her all the time, so she slowly started to live a spiritual life.

On the contrary, Xia Nuan, it can be said that the mood has been very bad.

Not only did he not smile for a long time, but sometimes when he hugged the buns to sleep at night, he would cry.

Chu Tianling didn't notice this at first, but it seemed that Xia Nuan had spent longer than usual to put Baozi to sleep recently.

Then until one day, Chu Tianling, who finished washing first, wanted Xia Nuan to take a bath first, and let him coax Baozi to sleep.

Before he came to the door, he heard soft sobbing through the crack of the door.

He stood at the door and watched for a long time, only to realize that Xia Nuan was crying, not the kind of sad crying, but a long-lasting, seemingly unstoppable cry.

It should be that Xia Nuan was also afraid of waking Baozi up, and she didn't want to cry in front of Chu Tianling all the time, making him worry.

Just vent yourself at this time every day.

Chu Tianling was very distressed, but suffered from the fact that there was no good solution.

So Chu Tianling proposed to give Wang Ximei an old house in the country that day, why not stay here with Xia Nuan and her brothers.

Wait for a while and accompany Wang Ximei before going back.

But Xia Nuan shook her head and refused on the grounds that the school still had final exams and she had to take care of Baozi.

In fact, after Xia Nuan participated in the diplomatic activities this time, the school leaders have already held a meeting to discuss whether it is possible for Xia Nuan to graduate early, enter the state agency earlier, and contribute her talents.

Xia Nuan also knows this, that is to say, even if she asks for leave from now on and does not go to school, the school will not have any objections.

Moreover, for Baozi, Chu Tianling can handle it all by himself.

But since Xia Nuan said so, it means that she is unwilling to do this.

Chu Tianling was never willing to let Xia Nuan do what she didn't want to do, so he never persuaded Xia Nuan to stay.

On the way back, Chu Tianling wanted to talk to Xia Nuan about some happy things to distract her.

But Xia Nuan obviously showed no interest.Chu Tianling couldn't say anything more, and the two returned home without saying a word.

In fact, Xia Nuan's thinking is also very simple. She thinks that the old house in the country is where she grew up.

Although she traveled here halfway, she also has a lot of affection for that old house.

She didn't want to "see things and think about people", so she refused to live in the old house for a while.

Now Xia Nuan can only force a smile when talking to Baozi, and the rest of the time, she is either in a daze or distracted.

Chu Tianling felt that it was impossible to go on like this. These days, he had been thinking about how to find a way to make Xia Nuan feel better.

With the hot weather, the students of University B have gradually finished their final course exams, and students from many departments have already started to go home, ushering in the summer vacation life.

Although Xia Nuan's English department has always had a lot of professional courses, since Xia Nuan and the others are in their third year, many courses have been completed.

So Xia Nuan and the others also passed the exam very quickly.

At noon that day, Xia Nuan, who finished the last oral English test, walked out slowly with the candidates.

The sun was scorching outside, and it was still the weather at noon.

She was thinking about whether to go back and take the buns home early, or to go to the fresh market and buy something to cook and eat.

In fact, Xia Nuan has noticed Chu Tianling's concern and anxiety for Xia Nuan these days.

Xia Nuan also wanted to get well quickly, so that everyone's life could be on the right track.

So today she cooks some good dishes and goes back to reward Chu Tianling, he has worked hard these days.

Before leaving the school gate, Wang Shiyu caught up with Xia Nuan from behind.

"Nuan Nuan!" Wang Shiyu suddenly patted Xia Nuan on the shoulder, wanting to scare Xia Nuan a little.

Xia Nuan, who was thinking about something, turned her head belatedly, as if she was frightened, and stared blankly at Wang Shiyu who "appeared suddenly" from behind.

Wang Shiyu didn't achieve the frightening effect, so she sighed in disappointment.

"What are you going to do during the summer vacation, Nuan Nuan?" Wang Shiyu and Xia Nuan walked side by side towards the school gate.

Xia Nuan really hasn't considered this matter carefully.

Not long after Xia Zhongguo passed away, Xia Nuan sometimes kept in touch with Wang Ximei and her brothers, and everyone wanted to make each other happy.

So what often happens is that everyone pretends to chat and communicate as if nothing has happened.

Like "What manuscript did I translate today, and what did you do in the country today." Everyone pretended to avoid mentioning this matter, but this made Xia Nuan feel uncomfortable.

No one spoke uprightly in front of Xia Nuan, what happened after Dad left, everyone was skipping over this matter, as if everyone was still living like when Dad was alive, as if Xia Zhongguo would come back one day.

But Xia Nuan is sober, she knows, sad is sad, but her father will not be reborn, and her father's death means that she will never see her again.

So Xia Nuan didn't shy away from this matter, instead she always reminded herself not to forget it.

Xia Nuan didn't know if it was useful or not, although she was not happier than her mother and brothers because of it.

Seeing that Xia Nuan lost her mind while talking, Wang Shiyu was very helpless.Recently, Xia Nuan seems to be like this. Sometimes when she is in class, Xia Nuan will also be distracted like this.

The teacher asked Xia Nuan to get up to answer the question, but Xia Nuan was also confused, and didn't seem to listen to what the teacher was saying.

The students still knew more or less what happened at Xia Nuan's house.

But because this was not a good thing at all, the students just picked up some nice words to say, and they just congratulated her on the success of her diplomatic work.

Since Xia Nuan's grades are still very good, even though she doesn't listen to the lecture, she can still answer the questions.

The teachers actually knew about this, and Xia Nuan answered the questions in class because she wanted her to stop being "self-closing" all the time.

Xia Nuan stayed there for a while and then said, "Oh, I don't know what to do, maybe stay at home with Baozi, after all, I haven't seen Baozi for a long time when I am going abroad for work this time."

Wang Shiyu thinks so, after all, Xia Nuan already has children.

But this does not prevent her from sharing her summer plan with Xia Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, let me tell you, the pen pal I met in a magazine, we corresponded these days, and decided to meet up during the summer vacation! Hehe."

"Nuan Nuan, don't tell others, I'll just tell you, even my parents don't know."

Wang Shiyu has a lively personality and a pretty face. Xia Nuan was a little worried that Wang Shiyu would be in danger if she went out to meet her pen pal rashly like this.

But Wang Shiyu is a person of this era, and his understanding of these things may not have developed to the level of modern society. So, "evil"?
But Xia Nuan still reminded Wang Shiyu that it would be safer to ask other people to go with her.

Wang Shiyu chatted with Xia Nuan about her pen pal, and Xia Nuan listened quietly, and the two of them walked to the school gate in a blink of an eye.

Because Xia Nuan still had to go to the fresh food market, she bid farewell to Wang Shiyu temporarily.

Xia Nuan, who had bought the groceries, got on her bicycle and went home with her big and small bags.

In Huaguo in the 80s, bicycles were still the main force for people's transportation.

Xia Nuan thought in her heart that after cooking the meal, she would go to pick up the buns and go home, her legs picked up speed, and she arrived at the family building of the military area in a short time.

Because during Xia Nuan's funeral for Xia Zhongguo, Mr. Dong's family helped Xia Nuan a lot, Xia Nuan was very grateful, and thought about calling Mr. Dong's family to have dinner tonight.

Xia Nuan took out the good wine at home to entertain, and planned to make chicken and beef to improve the food.

Busy cooking until dusk, Xia Nuan put all the food on the table and set it up, then covered the food with another plate to prevent the food from getting cold, so she went to Mr. Dong's house and knocked on the door.

It was still Xiaojie who came to open the door, and Xia Nuan was also very happy to see Xiaojie, a bright child could always make Xia Nuan happy.

"Little aunt!" The lovely Xiaojie also greeted Xia Nuan lively.

"Xiaojie, be good, go to my aunt's house for dinner with my parents today, okay?" Xia Nuan squatted down to tease Xiaojie before entering the door.

Mr. Dong's wife hurriedly asked Xia Nuan to come in and sit down.

"No, sister-in-law." Xia Nuan didn't rush in.

"It's just that I prepared some food and wine today. I want to invite you and Mr. Dong to bring Xiaojie as a guest. I don't know if you will give me face."

Xia Nuan was joking with Mr. Dong's wife.

Mr. Dong's wife saw that Xia Nuan was able to joke now, indicating that she had almost recovered, and she was very happy for her.

He agreed and said that everyone will have dinner together in the evening, which will be lively and lively.

Xiaojie clapped her hands happily when she thought of seeing her cute little brother Baozi again.

Xia Nuan went to pick up the buns first, and then took the buns to play in the flower bed downstairs for a while, and then she could welcome Chu Tianling home by the way.

Chu Tianling just came back from get off work today with Mr. Dong.

Mr. Dong mentioned to Chu Tianling that he was going to be promoted.

On the way back, the two saw Xia Nuan playing with Baozi from a distance.After a while, Baozi discovered his father first.

The little feet limped and ran towards Dad, Xia Nuan watched him from behind, afraid that he would fall down.

Chu Tianling caught the steamed stuffed bun, and Xia Nuan walked over from behind.

Xia Nuan repeated the invitation to Mr. Dong's family in the afternoon. Mr. Dong is very hospitable. If it weren't for Xia Nuan's bad mood, he might have invited Xia Nuan and the others to dinner.

Chu Tianling was also very pleased to see Xia Nuan like this, and couldn't stop laughing when he hugged the bun.

Master Dong went back to change his military uniform first, and brought Xiaojie's mother and daughter over by the way.

Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling went home with the buns in their arms, and changed Chu Tianling's military uniform.
