Chapter 373 That Year (102)
That year, month, 1o2
With the phone in the building, the children are most curious.
There are phone calls in the courtyard and the villas in the courtyard in the capital. I have seen my own children, but I still want to make a call to my grandfather.
Lin Yutong took them over and let them call, while he helped Aunt Fat stir the porridge in the pot.
She turned her head and saw Jiang Huai staring at the phone curiously, and her heart moved.
After the three little kids finished talking to the old man, Jiang Huai went up and asked the old man. The old man didn't know what he told him there, so he hung up the phone.
Lin Yutong said to Jianghuai while busying herself: "You remember your parents' phone numbers, tell them our phone numbers. If you have urgent matters in the future, you can do it."
In fact, if you have urgent matters, you can call your home in Beijing directly, so why bother with the shared phone number? Lin Yutong mainly wanted to ask her children to get close to Yin Chen and the others.
Jianghuai hesitated for a moment and started dialing.
Yin Chen had a phone call at home there.
Now it's dinner time, and at least one of the couple should be at home.
It is time for cooking in the building, people who fetch water, wash vegetables, and people who go back and forth.
When I saw the child calling, I was joking.
"Is this missing my parents just now?"
"Tell your dad that we are here upstairs and downstairs, and there are electric lights and telephones."
He laughed and made Jiang Huai's face turn red.
After finally dialing the number out, it was a hint of beep.
Immediately afterwards, the phone was answered, "Hey..." It was the voice of Uncle Chen.
Jiang Huai's voice trembled a little, "Hey..." and then looked at Lin Yutong helplessly.
Aunt Fat smiled and said, "This kid, if you don't call her dad, can your dad know who it is? Why are you embarrassed to be on the phone?"
Lin Yutong smiled with her lips pursed and looked at Jianghuai with encouragement.
The people passing by also started to make a fuss, "Jiang Huai, why don't you even dare to call your father on the phone?"
Yin Chen was on the other side, holding the phone with his hands, his fingertips turned white. The phone was called by Jianghuai, and the people next to him started to urge him and taught the child how to call.
It’s not that the child can’t make phone calls, but that’s because of this, it’s hard to call it out.
He felt expectation in his heart, and he wanted to have a child, so he called him dad.
Hu Feng came out of the kitchen and put the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing Yin Chen holding the phone with the wrong look, he walked over. Then he heard the sound from the other end of the phone through the phone.
"Jianghuai, a young man, why are you still embarrassed? The phone call is the same as face to face..."
The two of them could hear the sound of their children's breathing through the phone.
Jiang Huai looked at Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong nodded gently.
So he trembled and "feed" again, then suddenly said: "Dad, it's me, Jianghuai."
Yin Chen raised his hand and covered his eyes. The child called him dad. He kept his voice steady and smiled, "Oh! Dad heard it. Son, Dad heard it..."
Jiang Huai could hear the sound over there with joy and excitement, and trembling, but he was not so excited, "Dad, this is the phone number in Uncle San's Building. Please remember the phone number..."
Lin Yutong felt relieved. There was no opportunity or environment. It was not easy to change her words for such a young child.
Calling strangers parents can’t easily open their mouths. But once you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to change it in your life.
She smiled and said to Jiang Huai, "If you ask your mother, then Aunt San is going to make a red shirt and also prepared materials for her. The size is based on your second aunt's size. Is it suitable for her?"
Yin Chen and Hu Feng heard clearly on the other end of the phone, knowing that Lin Yutong was looking for an opportunity to let Jiang Huai talk to Hu Feng, and called him "Mom".
As long as you call this, you will never be embarrassed again.
Yin Chen shook his hand on his eyes and said, "Your mother is at home, I'll tell your mother to listen to the phone."
Jiang Huai tensed up and responded.
After the phone call, there was a choked voice, "Jiang Huai, have you eaten?"
"I'll eat in a while." Jiang Huai held the microphone in both hands, tightened his fingers before saying, "Mom, Aunt San said that you can make a shirt for you and follow the size of Aunt Er."
Hu Feng pointed down with tears in his eyes, "Okay. Mom is about the same size as your second aunt." He said, and asked again, "School is about to start. Mom bought you a schoolbag and sent it to you."
JAC nodded and said yes.
Aunt Fat turned her head and said to Lin Yutong: "If the child is not in front of you, the parents must be thinking very well. I feel like I'm crying."
Lin Yutong nodded, "No. It's convenient to have a phone call. When you hear the sound, you will know if it's good."
Aunt Fat responded, "Or it's better now, and it's so convenient. In the past, a letter would have to be on the road for a month or two."
The two of them talked here, and Jiang Huai hung up the phone after talking.
"My mother said she bought a lot of dyed fabrics over there and sent them to make skirts for Yusheng and Xiaoxiao." His eyes were shining and full of joy.
Lin Yutong touched his head, "From the future, I will call your parents one week and I will often write letters."
Jianghuai responded.
Lin Yutong gave him another dollar, "You can keep your pocket money for four of you a week."
After Jianghuai took the money, he went out with the three pouting men. There were vendors pulling carts at the entrance of the institute every day, and some snacks. They must have gone to the entrance again.
"I'll have dinner soon, don't run away." Lin Yutong reminded him from behind.
Hu Feng, who was far away in the south, leaned against the table with the phone and cried, "I thought I would never hear my child call me mother in this life."
Yin Kun went over to stroke her spine, "Isn't it okay now?" He sighed, "Dad's decision was right at the beginning. The child had to adapt to a healthy family for a while. Xiaoxiao was too young, Yusheng and others were not much different from Jianghuai, and they could play together. The child would not feel lonely or isolated when he was in a strange and bad situation. When he saw Yusheng's three getting along with his parents, he could understand what the relationship between the child and his parents should be in a normal family. This is the first step for the child to change his words. Let's take it slowly and not be anxious."
Hu Feng responded.
She couldn't imagine that if the child really came over, everyone she saw would sigh, 'This is Jianghe's son. It's so pitiful!'
Although they never thought of raising children to forget their biological parents. However, this atmosphere reminds the child that he is also an outsider in this family. What he gets is a gift.
With this child's temperament of drinking a bite of porridge from other people's house, he has to find a way to repay favors. This kind of favor is too heavy, and it becomes a burden for the child and cannot bear it for the rest of his life.
Then, he instinctively escapes and apologizes.
This is not what they want.
"Take it slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Hu Feng wiped his tears, "Eat. Send some money tomorrow. Although the family does not lack food and food for children, we can't be like nothing."
Yin Chen replied with a smile.
Lin Yutong stewed pork rib soup tonight, and the child came back as soon as the meal was served.
Except for JAC, one holds a candied haws.
It must be that JAC itself couldn't bear to let it go, so it only bought the three.
"One person gives you one for your brother." Lin Yutong glared.
Zhensheng nodded, "We didn't eat, we just planned to come back and divide it."
It's true, they are all holding it with their own hands.
Lin Yutong was a little relieved. Then she said to Jianghuai: "You don't have to save money, your parents have left you a lot of living expenses. Even if you can't finish eating meat every meal."
The Fourth Master came out of the inner room and nodded, "You have twenty yuan a month for living expenses, and Fat Aunt only earns twenty yuan a month. No matter how much you spend, you can't finish it."
Jiang Huai laughed: "It's okay. I don't like to eat hawthorn."
Nonsense! There is no child who doesn’t like to eat snacks. He just doesn’t like to eat and is greedy when he sees others.
Five hawthorns were added to one candied haws, and one was taken out for Jianghuai. Jianghuai still ate one less.
During the meal, Lin Yutong divided quail eggs. There were three children, two for each person, and three for Jianghuai. It was considered to make up for the hawthorn I ate less just now.
Jiang Huai was embarrassed. Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master insisted again. The three little ones had no objection.
Ye Sheng muttered to Jiang Huai, "We will definitely buy it together next time, otherwise we will be fined if we eat less."
Jianghuai nodded helplessly.
Lin Yutong smiled at the corner of her mouth. This is what it takes to raise children. Raising children with different temperaments is often conflicting, but they benefit more from each other.
Because Jianghuai is here, the children go out to play, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master are not worried much. It is still in the first lunar month, and it is still very cold outside, and snowflakes are falling at night. The children have not started school, but adults have to go to work.
"Aunt San, it's okay, I'll watch them at home." Jiang Huai waved his hand and pointed to the three who were still lying in the quilt and didn't get up.
Lin Yutong pointed to the kitchen, "The rice is hot in the rice cooker and there is hot water in the kettle. Remember to drink all the milk powder. If you don't know how to do anything, you go to fat grandma. She has been sitting at the stairs. You don't need to wash the dishes and chopsticks, just soak them."
But when I came back at noon, the kitchen in the house was cleaned.
"Mom, I've folded the quilt myself." Yusheng pulled Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master in to take a look.
Although it is crooked, it is really good. This is progress.
Not only that, several children also bought a pot of beef bone soup from the cafeteria.
Although you can buy pork at will, beef and mutton are not easy to get. Especially beef, it is even more difficult.
Master Li in the canteen is quite capable and has a good relationship with the slaughterhouse, so he can get these things to have a tooth sacrifice.
They were smart and smelled the smell and quickly went to buy it.
"Good job." Lin Yutong took out the money and said, "Go and send it to Master Li."
Jiang Huai responded, "Master Li gave us the original soup, but it didn't mix it with water."
This is to convey the kindness of others.
Lin Yutong nodded in a clear understanding, "We will give it to Aunt Fat later."
