STEPMOM OF MY CHILDREN AND MY SECOND WIFE

chapter 52 down to earth

Zhao Donglin stopped, apparently just like Dong Jia...his face also felt hot, thinking about what happened last night.

"Um... I'm going to the village committee soon, and I'll be back for lunch at noon. If you have anything to do, you can go to the field to find mother, or you can go to the village committee to find me."

Zhao Donglin's working place is the village committee. As long as the commune does not have a meeting, he will normally work in the village.

Dong Jia responded, thinking  for a long time. He is still coming back for lunch at noon. there's nothing that I want find him?

"Then I'm leaving, pay attention to you at home."

Dong Jia nodded, "I know, don't worry."

Zhao Donglin also felt that he had a lot of words. He turned his head out of the kitchen step by step, patted Ying who was eating candy on the walker, and pushed his bicycle out of the yard.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, Dong Jia looked out through the window, he left, and the shame in her heart was a little less.

After washing the pots and bowls, put the kitchen items roughly, and swept the floor, and then Dong Jia went out.

"ying, what are you doing? Are you feeding the hens?"

The chickens in the chicken coop were released by Zhang Qiao early in the morning. The entire yard was a place for their strolling. For Ying, she pulled the tortilla into small pieces and scattered them on the ground.

Several hens were on the ground. Pecking in the open space in front of Ying

Dong Jia patted Ying's clothes. The chest of the clothes was stained with dirt, and it couldn't be patted off with her hands.

She picked Ying from the trolley and brought it back to the house, planning to find a piece of cloth for Ying to make two bibs, so that she would not be afraid of soiling her clothes.

"Ying, you sit obediently and I will make you two small bibs, okay?"

Dong Jia put Ying on the wooden sofa and took a piece of fruit candy to Ying.. but fearing that Ying would accidentally get caught, she deliberately broke the fruit candy into two pieces.

Seeing the delicious fruit candy, Ying stretched out her chubby hand, grabbed one of them and put it in her mouth. The familiar and sweet taste pleased her, she clapped her hands happily, and said something to Dong Jia

Dong Jia brought a lot of fabrics. Zhao Donglin pulled a few pieces for her before getting married. The relatives at her natal family also loosened a little bit, as well as leftovers  from making clothes for others.

It didn't take much cloth to make a bib for Ying, so Dong Jia  found a few pieces from the pile of scraps and prepared to make two spliced ​​bibs for Ying

Opening the cloth covered on the sewing machine, Dong Jia threaded the needle on the needle, and stepped up and down after marking the leftover material. The bib was ready in a few hours.

"Ying, try to see if it fits, so the bib looks good, it's all broken flowers, I also embroidered an apple on it."

When Dong Jia talked to Ying and Yang, she never claimed to be a mother or anything else. Not to mention that the child couldn't accept her at once, just said Dong Jia... herself. She felt a little ashamed of her mother being short time

"Ying looks beautiful in her bib, and she won't be afraid of getting her clothes dirty."

Ying looked down at the extra gown on her body, obviously very interested in the red apple on her chest.

"Ying, do you know what this is? This is an apple, a very delicious fruit."

Now it belongs to the era of planned economy, and there is no extensive transportation network. There is not enough fruit supply in the market.

Anyway, Dong Jia
..except for the local jujube, persimmon, peach, and pomegranate, she has only eaten the town. she haven’t eaten the oranges, bananas and apples she bought.

A kid as young as Ying may have never seen an Apple in her life.

The first one was fitted, and Dong Jia turned around and made the other two, one with a waistcoat and one with sleeves, just to use up all the leftovers.

After finishing the bib, Dong Jia cleaned up the closet. Yesterday, she was in a hurry and didn't have time to organize a lot of things.

When she took out the watch that Zhao Donglin bought for her from the box, Dong Jia made a gesture on her wrist. The new-colored strap and the exquisite and compact dial looked exquisite and unique on the wrist.

"It's a pity, I don't need to wear this when working at home every day."

Wearing a watch for washing and cooking? Wearing a watch for working in the field? No one ruined the watch.
This watch was given to her in private by Zhao Donglin at the time. Dong Jia told Chen Guixiang about it after the Zhao family left that day, and Chen Guixiang kept praising Zhao Donglin for his actions.

"I've never seen a young man with such a bright and open business. He really bought it for you. You see, he puts the watch into the gift. If it is added to their Zhao family, how beautiful is it?"

There is also Zhao Donglin’s bicycle. He bought it after he returned to his hometown. It has only been ridden for two months. It is no different from a new one. If he is a face-saving person, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gift, but people just don’t use this false name. It shows how down-to-earth he is.

Thinking of these, as well as Zhao Donglin's various performances in the past two days, Dong Jia's understanding of him is refreshed little by little. It is not getting worse, but getting better.

After ten o'clock, Dong Jia began to prepare lunch, and Zhang Qiao told her roughly what to do before going down to the ground.

Steamed sweet potatoes with rice, corn tortillas, there were a lot of vegetables left in the wine house yesterday, and asked her to pick a few meat dishes that were hot, and then choose two vegetables from the vegetable field and fry them.

Dong Jia doesn't like to eat leftovers.

(  The leftovers contain excessive amounts of nitrite, which can cause cancer after eating them, and the leftovers don't taste too right. There is definitely no freshly cooked taste)

But this is the 1970s, and it’s very shameful to waste food. Dong Jia heated a few meat dishes according to her mother-in-law’s instructions, cut the leeks from the ground and put a basket of greens, cleaned them up, and fried them separately. She prepared this meal. Just eat these two.

As soon as Dong Jia's meal was prepared, the Zhao family came out of the farm.. At a glance, Zhao Meixiang could see that the bib worn by Ying was newly made by his sister-in-law.
