Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Chapter 40 Make room for others to come in

By the time Song Xiuxiu came back with Yaya, it was almost time for dinner.

I saw Song Xiuxiu walking into the room carrying large and small bags in both hands.

"You robbed the store!" Lu Aiguo asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I finally came to the city, so of course I have to buy something I don't have at home."

With that, he called Zhao Xuewen over, and then said mysteriously: "Guess what auntie bought you!"

Zhao Xuewen didn't speak, he just looked at her blankly, and then shook his head imperceptibly.

Seeing his cute look, Song Xiuxiu couldn't help but reach out and pinch his thin cheeks, and said with a smile: "Why are you so cute!"

As he said that, he took out a paper box from the bag and opened it to reveal a pair of brown plastic sandals.

This is what Song Xiuxiu saw in the department store in Gulian City today. She really didn't expect that plastic sandals that became popular more than ten years later would actually be available now.

Although the style is not as good-looking as it will be many years later, it is still very novel for the present.

I thought it would be very expensive, but when Song Xiuxiu inquired, I found out that it was not expensive at all. One pair of leather sandals could buy three or four pairs of plastic sandals. Song Xiuxiu immediately bought three pairs.

She and her two children each have a pair.

When he heard that there was no one for him, Lu Aiguo's face instantly darkened, and he said very unhappy: "Why don't you buy it for me? Aren't you and I a family?"

Seeing that this man could act like a child, Song Xiuxiu couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that his wife not only did not comfort her, but was still laughing, the man became even more angry.

After Song Xiuxiu finished laughing, she walked up to him, took his arm and said softly: "Of course you are a family with us, not only a family, but also the head of the family!"

The man muttered softly: "It's good that you know!"

Song Xiuxiu: "I won't buy it for you because you don't have the occasion to wear it. Think about it if you wear a military uniform on top and a pair of plastic sandals on the bottom, wouldn't it feel weird?"

Lu Aiguo thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed strange.

Seeing that the man was a little loose, Song Xiuxiu continued: "Except for shoes, I think of you first in everything."

The man asked in disbelief: "Real or false, don't coax me!"

Song Xiuxiu immediately said: "How can I coax you? I have already prepared it. The first sweater I will knit when I get home is for you."

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo finally smiled. He wanted to reach out and pinch his wife's little face, but there were two little kids next to him looking at him eagerly, so the man had no choice but to endure it.

Seeing that her man was fine, Song Xiuxiu immediately shook him off, then walked to Zhao Xuewen and said softly: "Xuewen, try it quickly and see if the size is suitable!"

After saying that, he picked up Zhao Xuewen, put him on the bed, and started to take off his shoes.

Song Xiuxiu did this action very naturally, because she had always helped Yaya take off her shoes like this, but Zhao Xuewen felt uncomfortable. He was really not used to such intimate actions with others.

So he hurriedly said: "I can do it myself!"

Song Xiuxiu noticed his discomfort, so she stopped forcing him and patiently taught him how to buckle his shoelaces.

The shoes fit very well, and Zhao Xuewen liked them very much, and even couldn't bear to wear them on the ground.

He couldn't remember the last time he wore new shoes.

Zhao Xuewen, who had always had no expression, finally showed a smile. Although it was not very obvious, it was also observed by Song Xiuxiu!

Yaya's new shoes were a pair of pink ones. She put them on her feet early. When she saw her brother also wearing new shoes, she immediately pulled her brother to compete to see who was more beautiful!

Lu Aiguo bought some steamed buns outside for dinner and brought them back.

Zhao Xuewen did not dare to eat more at first. He was afraid that if he ate too much, his family would dislike him and send him back again!

Except for his grandma, he has never met anyone who is so kind to him since he was a child. He is so afraid that this family will suddenly dislike him, and then he will go back to his old days.

Seeing that Zhao Xuewen was obviously not full, Lu Aiguo ignored him and continued to eat with his head down.

Song Xiuxiu also discovered that Zhao Xuewen's appetite was the same as that of Yaya. You must know that Yaya is only a three-year-old girl, while Zhao Xuewen is a six-year-old boy. Logically speaking, even if his appetite cannot keep up with that of an adult, he will not. It should be the same as Yaya!

Just as Song Xiuxiu was about to speak, she gave Lu Aiguo a look to stop her. Song Xiuxiu understood his look and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

After dinner, Song Xiuxiu took out the new toothbrush she bought for Zhao Xuewen, and then taught him how to brush his teeth.

Zhao Xuewen was very smart, and Song Xiuxiu just told him a few simple sentences and he learned it.

After washing up, the family got ready to go to bed. Because Lu Aiguo said that he would take the family to play in the park tomorrow, the two children were very excited and looking forward to it, but Zhao Xuewen's excitement was reflected in his heart, and that The corners of his lips were slightly raised.

At night, Song Xiuxiu and Yaya slept on one bed, while Lu Aiguo and Zhao Xuewen squeezed into another bed.

Zhao Xuewen looked at the sleeping family of three, but he didn't feel sleepy. On the one hand, it was because he was too hungry. With his appetite, he could eat four or five buns, but he only ate one tonight.

Originally he planned to eat quietly at night, but Lu Aiguo said that the weather was hot and he was worried that it would spoil if left overnight, so he ate all the remaining buns without leaving any. In the end, he was so exhausted that he held his waist and wandered around outside for half a day. Many hours.

On the other hand, he was so afraid that this was a dream, and he didn't dare to sleep, for fear that when he woke up, he would be back in that cold, dirty room, and have to live without food and clothing.

Finally, when it was dim and bright outside, Zhao Xuewen fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, he saw a man in military uniform standing not far from him. He couldn't see clearly what the man looked like, but he could feel that the man was smiling at him, and he kept smiling!

Just when Zhao Xuewen wanted to walk over and take a look, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Don't go there, that's not a place you can go!"

Zhao Xuewen turned around and saw that it was his grandma, and he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He seemed to tell his grandma that he really missed her, but grandma said to him with a smile: "Don't talk to me, right?" If you are not good, just listen to me!"

"Grandma knows that your life is very hard and not easy! But there is nothing more that grandma can do for you!"

"You have to live well, you know! Cherish the people around you who treat you well, then slowly forget about me, and make room in your heart so that others can come in!"

Zhao Xuewen shook his head desperately. He wanted to tell his grandma that he only had grandma in his heart and didn't want anyone else to come in, but he was speechless and could only watch his grandma walk towards the man in military uniform.

In the end, the man supported grandma and walked further and further until he disappeared into the thick fog...
