Chapter 468 The Temptation of Going Home
We had to go back to Shacheng early in the morning on the eve of the Chinese New Year, because there were three reunion dinners in total, two of which were for "Shacheng Food" and "Daqiao Food", and one for the battery factory, agricultural machinery factory and agricultural machinery secondary technical school. Different officials attended different reunion dinners, and the social activities were so intensive.
When the business opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month, there was another lot of social activities, which lasted until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
There were many people to meet during this period, and visiting relatives was considered relatively good. The most tiring thing was to promise the bureaucrats the tasks for the new year.
The Women's Federation and the Disabled Persons' Federation were the basics, and the condolences from the military and police could not be interrupted, and then there were some public welfare activities in local towns and villages.
When the business became a behemoth, even if it was just some trivial things, the sum of them was terrifying.
Without vigorous energy, generally speaking, no great business could be accomplished.
The body is the capital of revolution, this is the literal meaning.
However, before leaving on the same day, Shen Jinman, who was pregnant, was picked up to Jiankang. The bureaucrats in Gushu had long known where Shen Jinman lived, and they had rectified the road outside the street and set up three sentry boxes, one of which was a police station.
It was a bit of a flattery, but Boss Zhang was also happy. Ten police vehicles were delivered, and "Longdun Security" modified them and sent them to Gushu. Pajero was the most popular, followed by the second-generation Super Vitara, which was imported from America through the channels of General Motors.
The other modified Delicas also had newly installed car radios, and one of them also had a car generator, which was also for the convenience of outdoor duty as a support vehicle.
The police in the entire Huaixi Province, even in the provincial capital Luzhou, could not say that they were so stacked.
In short, the gate of Shen Jinman's ancestral house now has a signboard of "Home of Supporting the Army" and "Model of Supporting the Army and Loving the Police", which is also a relatively rare honor for the street where Shen Jinman's house is located.
It is convenient to ask Shen Jinman for alms for some activities to help the elderly or orphans. It doesn't cost much, just 1,800 yuan. Shen Jinman's own financial resources are enough to support her image as a "female bodhisattva" in Gushu City.
Although she is pregnant, no one mentions that she is a concubine.
On the contrary, the Women's Federation comes to visit from time to time. She is the women's representative of the street, but she is just pretending. After all, if someone really digs deeper, they will know that she is pregnant before marriage.
Unlike Zhang Haonan, who always makes a big noise, Shen Jinman is very low-key in her hometown.
Now that she is pregnant with a seven-month-old baby, she is more or less relieved. There is nothing to worry about taking a long-distance bus.
Besides, Zhang Haonan's car is a super bus with a one-bedroom and one-living room in the car. You can lie on the sofa inside and watch TV when you want to. If you don't want to watch, there is a bed to sleep on.
Probably because she was going to Shacheng again, and she was pregnant, Shen Jinman was a little nervous, and she packed her things in the villa in Jiankang early in the morning.
Zhao Dai, who came the day before yesterday, lived on the first floor, and she brought Zhang Ling and Zhang Long with her, which made Shen Jinman feel very strange.
But she didn't like Zhao Dai, so she didn't ask.
Only Zhang Haonan knew that Zhao Dai was afraid that Zhao Feiyan would see her impatient with her children in Shacheng. What if Zhao Feiyan wanted to kill Zhang Ling and Zhang Long on a whim?
So Zhao Feiyan brought her son and daughter home, and she came to Jiankang again with her son and daughter.
The bodyguard Xie Baolan was also extremely speechless.
"Ah~~ Heh."
Shen Jinman, who was heating milk, heard a yawn, turned around and saw Zhao Dai wearing a zippered nightgown and cotton slippers and walked out.
The two looked at each other, didn't say anything, and went about their own business.
It was only four o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark outside. Zhao Dai didn't wake up just because the children woke up. Now the two children have a relatively regular schedule, and there is also a confinement mother to help, so whether in Shacheng or Jiankang, Zhao Dai is relatively less tired.
That is to say, breastfeeding was more energy-consuming for a period of time before, but now breastfeeding can be considered to be regular and quantitative, and storing a little milk in the refrigerator can save a lot of trouble.
She just suddenly wanted to play "Veronica", so she got up early.
Play for a while, and then catch up on sleep in the car when it's time to set off.
At this time, Zhang Haonan had also gotten up to brush his teeth. When he was waiting for the driver to warm up the car, he also had to give a red envelope in advance. The driver was also an uncle, but this year he would not stay in Wujiatai for dinner on New Year's Eve, but go to a village near Yushan City in the southeast of Shacheng to celebrate the New Year.
Xun's wife is from here, so Zhang Haonan gave her some gift money in advance.
"Hmm? Meimei, Xiaoman, why are you two up so early?"
After brushing his teeth, he put a cup of milk in the microwave, popped two slices of bread in the bread machine, and smeared some spicy shrimp sauce on them and started eating.
"Just eat this, I'll make you a boiled egg."
Shen Jinman saw him dealing with it casually, complained, and then got busy in the kitchen.
"I'll just eat something casually."
"It will be ready in a while."
It was sweet osmanthus wine boiled egg, she knew Zhang Haonan's appetite, but she still made a few more, obviously not for herself, she didn't like it.
Zhang Haonan took a look, then hugged her from behind in the kitchen, whispered in her ear, "Jinman, you are really soft-hearted..."
"I'm cooking, don't make trouble."
"And make a bowl for Meimei."
"Then pour it out now?"
Shen Jinman rolled his eyes, Zhang Haonan smiled, kissed her on the cheek, then raised his hand and patted her butt.
After leaving the kitchen, he went to the TV. Shen Jinman was originally going to play "Veronica", but now he was playing "Super Mario". This kind of side-scrolling game was probably more interesting for entertainment.
"Xiaojin also made breakfast for you."
"Then I'll thank her later."
Zhao Dai was a little surprised. She was sitting cross-legged on the single sofa. Her breasts were exaggeratedly large due to breastfeeding. Fortunately, she was also gifted. She had some growth marks, but they were not particularly exaggerated.
Now the stretch marks on her belly are similar to Zhao Feiyan's and have almost disappeared. It probably has something to do with their family's physique.
"After the New Year, I..."
Zhao Dai was about to say something when she suddenly heard movement in the room. She quickly put down the controller and returned to the room with her slippers on.
Zhang Haonan followed him in with a milk cup. He saw Zhao Dai skillfully touching her daughter's diaper when she woke up. After the bulge, she immediately laid out a diaper pad, then opened the talcum powder and poured some cold water into the hot water bottle. In the washbasin, after carefully cleaning her daughter's buttocks, she took a powder cake and dipped it in talcum powder and patted her daughter again.
It looks like a skilled white-knife master, and I feel like I'm almost ready to take the pot.
Zhang Long's son slept like a dead dog. His legs were in the shape of a horse in the blanket, his arms seemed to be raised sideways, and his whole person looked like a round "earth" character.
After her daughter Zhang Ling woke up, she didn't cry anymore. Instead, she stretched out her hands and feet, opened her mouth and made a "squeaking" sound, which was obviously because she was hungry.
Seeing this, Zhao Dai took advantage of the situation and sat up on the bed, then zipped the zipper just enough to take out her left breast, picked her daughter up in her arms, and then breastfed her slowly.
Zhang Haonan took the opportunity to pack up the diapers he had changed, and then took the water in the basin to the toilet and poured it out.
After washing the small basin, I went back to the room and put the basin away.
There was a knock on the door, and then Shen Jinman whispered: "The poached eggs are ready."
"I'll bring it over."
Opening the door and going out, he saw Shen Jinman packing things again, with all kinds of big and small bags. He asked curiously: "Why are you packing so many things?"
"If it happens in Shacheng, everything should be prepared first. Oh, by the way, the bowl of brown sugar belongs to her, and there is no wine."
Zhang Haonan smiled and went over to bring the filled brown sugar water-wrapped eggs to the room. "Three eggs should be enough, right?"
"That's enough."
"Let it cool for a while and then eat it later."
"I'll feed my daughter first."
Zhao Dai squeezed her daughter's left breast a little, and Zhang Ling suddenly made a "bah, bah, bah, bah" sound. The sight and sound made Zhang Haonan so greedy that she simply went out to take care of her appetite.
A large soup bowl of poached eggs, in addition to fermented rice wine, also had small yuanxiao in it. They were all stock in the refrigerator. Shen Jinman put a little bit in, mainly to keep full.
"Are you breastfeeding?"
"right."
"Her two children have been raised very well."
"You don't know how careful she is."
Thinking of something, Zhang Haonan smiled and shook his head.
"Are you careful enough to make you laugh?"
After Shen Jinman folded a towel, she zipped up the box, then moved to sit next to Zhang Haonan. Because the floor heater was on, she didn't feel cold. There were peanuts on the table, so she peeled some and finished peeling them off. Keep it close to Zhang Haonan's hand.
"Let me tell you, she is afraid that Feiyan will kill Zhang Ling and Zhang Long, so she has been hiding from Feiyan..."
While talking, Zhang Haonan picked up a few peeled peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them loudly.
This is boiled and dried peanuts. It is also a new product of "Daqiao Food". It has not yet been packaged. Now it is only sold in bulk. The texture is crispy and the aftertaste is okay, but my mouth is dry after eating it.
"Isn't it? Aren't they aunts and nephews?"
"There are not many normal people in this family, and everything they do is normal."
Zhang Haonan smiled and said, "You are the only one who is considered normal."
"You did say something reasonable..."
Shen Jinman, who was a little proud, smiled lightly, then picked up an orange, peeled it, and placed it next to the peanuts. Then he suddenly asked with a slightly solemn expression, "Feiyan... can't really do this." Something?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Haonan took one poached egg in each mouthful. They were not soft-boiled eggs, but had a just-solid texture. This was Zhang Haonan's favorite, the soft-boiled eggs, but Zhang Haonan didn't like eating them.
Shen Jinman is really meticulous when it comes to kitchen skills. It would never have occurred to her that she was a dancer.
"Then I'd better not give birth in Shacheng."
Shen Jinman also became a little nervous. Thinking about it carefully, the women in this family are quite perverted.
Moreover, she also heard Fan Susu say that she slept with Zhang Haonan with Zhao Dai when they were in Guangling... It was really outrageous.
Now thinking back to Fan Susu's exciting expression, Shen Jinman was still shocked.
As for Zhao Feiyan...she couldn't understand, really couldn't understand, what on earth was this woman thinking? Do you never care about your man looking for women outside?
wrong!
What a man!
Shen Jinman suddenly puffed up his chest, took Zhang Haonan's arm, tilted his head slightly to one side, and leaned on Zhang Haonan's shoulder, constantly encouraging himself in his heart: This is my man too.
