Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 223 Summer Life
"Xiaojie is here, why did you wake up so early?" Chu Tianling picked up Xiaojie and walked into the house.

Xia Nuan asked Xiaojie if she had breakfast, and Xiaojie answered obediently.

"Little aunt, I thought last night that in a few days, I can come to your house right away!"

It seems that Xiaojie is quite happy about "receiving education".

Xia Nuan hopes that she can still be so optimistic and cheerful after going through the "torture" and "baptism" of learning.

So Chu Tianling went to the army after breakfast.

"Brother Tianling, buy some mung beans when you come back from get off work. I'll make some mung bean soup tonight." Xia Nuan saw that the weather has been hot recently, and everyone has no appetite for dinner.

"Okay, then I'll buy mung beans early after get off work today." After stroking Xia Nuan's hair, she kissed Baozi's little face before going out to work.

Although Xiaojie had already had breakfast at home, Xia Nuan still poured her a cup of cold soy milk and peeled a tea egg for her to eat.

It is estimated that Xiaojie also made a fuss at home, so she came over after not having a good meal, and ate some more with relish.

Xia Nuan looked at her a little funny, after all, it was a child, Xia Nuan thought, and she had to prepare more snacks for her at home in the future.

After breakfast, it's time to study English formally.

Xia Nuan spread a small mat on the ground, put Baozi's toys on it, and Baozi sat there obediently and played with the toys.

Xia Nuan moved a small bench next to her, and taught Xiaojie English at the coffee table.

It is very simple to teach children English at Xia Nuan's level.

Moreover, she also bought a children's English book from the system, as well as modern new English textbooks for elementary school compulsory education.

Xia Nuan started with the most basic ABCD. Because Xiaojie liked Xia Nuan very much, she was even interested in what she was learning.

After studying for a while, Xia Nuan asked Xiaojie to rest for a while, to play with Baozi, or drink some water and move around.

The child can't concentrate for a long time, so Xia Nuan didn't force it, so he taught slowly.

After coming down this morning, it can be regarded as a lot of gains.

Having recognized all the English letters, Xia Nuan is going to arrange for her to recite them tomorrow.

In fact, the first order of learning a foreign language is to learn pronunciation and speak.

Just like when we learn Chinese, we first talk to our parents and learn to say our own names.

Then I went to school to learn to read and write.

Learning a foreign language as a mother tongue is a method recognized by contemporary education scholars.

Xia Nuan also felt that it should be practiced on children.

Xiaojie was hungry at noon, and Xia Nuan was just about to go to the kitchen to cook when she heard a knock on the door.

It turned out to be Teacher Dong's wife, who was worried that Xia Nuan would not be able to take care of the two children by herself, so she came to ask Xia Nuan to eat when it was lunch time.

Xia Nuan didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so she took Baozi and went home with Xiaojie.

Mr. Dong's wife has been a housewife for many years. She accompanied Mr. Dong, joined the army, moved, had children, and kept the house in order.

The cooked food is also delicious, and Xia Nuan often asks her some tips for baking food.

Today at noon, Mr. Dong's wife made cold noodles.

Sweet sticky bean buns and sweet sour plum soup are prepared for the children.

"Sister-in-law, Mr. Dong is really lucky to marry you." These dishes are very appetizing just by looking at them, and Xia Nuan repeatedly praised them.

"It means you compliment me, your elder brother doesn't take these things seriously." Teacher Dong's wife also joked with Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan felt that Mr. Dong's wife and Yan Yu were not the same type of wives.

As women, they are of course very good, but as wives, they have made different interpretations.

"Maybe this is marriage. There is always one party who has to sacrifice more for this family, but since ancient times, this role has always been borne by women." Xia Nuan thought with some emotion.

Xia Nuan fed the steamed stuffed bun, and Xiaojie could already eat by herself, so she sat beside her and watched with great interest.

When the buns were finished, Xia Nuan and Mr. Dong's wife had almost finished eating too.

The two children both had the habit of taking a lunch break at noon, so Xia Nuan took the buns back to take a nap first.

At this time, air conditioners were not widely used in China, after all, it was the beginning of reform and opening up.

Every household uses cattail fans and electric fans, and Xia Nuan's family is no exception.

But I don't know if it's Xia Nuan's illusion. She always feels that the current weather is not as hot as the weather in our country in the future. Every summer at that time, it seemed that not turning on the air conditioner would kill people.

"It's not a bad thing." Xia Nuan thought comfortingly.

Baozi will be three years old in a month, and Xia Nuan is thinking about what birthday presents to buy for his son.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Xia Nuan gently patted Baozi to sleep. Baozi curled up his little hands and opened his mouth. Looking at him sleeping quietly, Xia Nuan felt that the years had calmed down.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, as if Baozi would never grow up.

"Son, mom and dad love you very much, don't you know?" Xia Nuan knew that Baozi couldn't hear her, but she still said softly.

I don't know what kind of personality Baozi will have when he grows up, and what career he will do in the future. Xia Nuan thinks this feeling is very strange.

It seems to be a "development game".

You do everything you feel is good for him, from a parent's point of view.

But you don't know whether he will like it at all, and you don't know what the character you "raided" will become in the future.

Xia Nuan and Chu Tianling are both engaged in these jobs that "directly" contribute to the country.

Although it's not because of vanity, Xia Nuan still feels warm in his heart whenever he thinks of these things.

There will be an emotion called pride, which spreads in my heart. Maybe this is what the ancients said, the feelings of family and country.

"Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace." This is the lifelong pursuit of ancient scholar-officials.

Xia Nuan doesn't expect Baozi to become a dragon and phoenix, but hopes that he can live up to his original aspirations.

No matter at any time, I will not feel ashamed of my career, nor will I regret what I wanted to do but didn't do when I had the opportunity.

Although life is full of regrets, and the world will only become more and more difficult when you grow up, but everyone still selfishly hopes that their children can be safe and happy.

This is Xia Nuan's message to her son when Baozi is about to turn three years old.

Although she didn't say it, Xia Nuan believed that her son could do well in the days to come.

After noon, there were few clouds in the sky, and the cicadas outside the window chirped one after another. Xia Nuan turned off the loud electric fan, and gently fanned the buns with the fan.

A plate of mosquito coils was lit at the foot of the bed, and smoke curled up quietly in the corner.

Xia Nuan fanned like this, and she also dozed off a little, so she put down the fan, lay down next to the steamed stuffed bun and fell asleep.

After a peaceful and sweet nap, Xia Nuan woke up at the call of Baozi.

Baozi woke up first and wanted to go to the bathroom.

Xia Nuan just woke up, still a little dazed, so she went to the bathroom first with the buns in her arms.

While peeing on Baozi, Xia Nuan said hoarsely, "Why did Baozi wake up so quickly, did you sleep well?"

Baozi held back his urine for a long time and said, "Sleep well." Children always regain their vitality easily.

Xia Nuan picked up the bun and kissed it, then went out to the living room to look at the watch, didn't she sleep well, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Wow, Baozi slept with mom for such a long time." Xia Nuan hugged Baozi to the sofa to tickle him.

Baozi giggled happily after being scratched, and dodged left and right to "avoid the attack".

Xia Nuan played with Baozi for a while with toys and coloring books for a while, and Chu Tianling came back.

"Are you back so early today?" Xia Nuan looked up at the watch on the wall, it was only a little past five o'clock.

"Yeah, the weather is too hot, I'm afraid everyone will suffer from heat stroke." Chu Tianling joked, and brought the mung beans bought outside into the kitchen.

Xia Nuan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and asked Chu Tianling to accompany Baozi first.

Chu Tianling came back from outside feeling hot, he picked up the wet towel prepared by Xia Nuan to wipe off his sweat, and went to see what Baozi was doing.

Baozi thought his father was too hot, so he kept running away, and Chu Tianling played "police catch thief" with his son in the living room.

Xia Nuan smiled and watched the father and son playing vigorously in the living room.

"Be careful, run slowly and don't fall." Did Xia Nuan warn her?

For dinner, Xia Nuan made mung bean soup to understand the summer heat, and milk porridge for the buns. Because the buns are still growing, Xia Nuan has been paying attention to supplementing the buns with nutrition in terms of diet.

The first day of Xia Nuan's summer vacation ended in a warm atmosphere. After coaxing the buns to sleep, Xia Nuan also snuggled into Chu Tianling's arms and fell asleep.
