Betterlife, The Diarygame ( July 02, 2024 ) | Playing With My Children

_{Hello friends wherever you are, I hope you are always in good health. As usual, I am grateful that I can still enjoy today happily.}

My cell phone rang loudly, apparently my sister was calling. I thought there was something very serious so he called me so early in the morning. He reported that he had arrived at his ship's destination. I'm grateful that he's been at sea for a week because he brought a ship and just docked with crude oil at its destination and I've been very anxious lately because of him.

I immediately got up from my bed and started cleaning myself. I sat alone in the middle of the kitchen chairs looking at what I could do today. My chest is still heavy, but it looks like I have to go with Afiza to my sister-in-law's house in Lhoksukon to pick up the order I ordered some time ago.

Coming home from there, in the middle of the road I found a mixed fish seller who was selling. He is a fisherman who catches fish to sell himself. Many people come and buy it. I got shrimp and fresh sea crab, "ah I'm so happy☺". And I was surprised that the merchandise sold out instantly because the prices were also quite cheap. After paying I immediately went home because I had to cook for the family lunch.

When I got home, I put Hamzah to sleep in his room and changed my clothes. War tools for cleaning fish and fighting. I have prepared them in the kitchen. I plan to make the kids' favorite crab soup and chili shrimp.

Here's how to make it. First prepare the ground spices such as shallots, garlic, candlenuts, ginger, cayenne pepper, pepper then grind them. Then take broccoli, potatoes and carrots, wash them clean and cut them according to your wishes. Take the tomatoes and celery leaves and finely chop them and the cardamom.

Second, saute ground spices, cardamom until fragrant then add the crab, wait until the spices are absorbed then add water. Third, After you feel that the crab is a little soft, add the vegetables. Fourth, after the vegetables are soft then add the final seasoning such as salt, seasonings, tomatoes and chopped celery, if it feels right, turn off the stove and Fifth, it's ready to be served.

Once ready, I called the children to eat together. Ghaisan really likes crab, while Afiza prefers shrimp.

After eating, we played for a while in the room. My daughter told me many stories. Starting from their friend who fell into a ditch to the cuteness of "Nek Sen" (their grandfather's friend) who always likes to chase them.

I realize that children have grown up. Even though Ghaisan cannot fully explain everything he has experienced and cannot be trusted, he has a high spirit of solidarity.

After waking up at around 16.15 minutes, the children went to clean themselves and put on new clothes. I was confused, until I asked, "Where you will to go honey?" . It's okay to wear clothes and be neat at this hour. "We want to go for a walk". I asked again, "With whom you will to go?" "Daddy!", they said in unison. my eyes became wide. 🥴

I don't know because my husband didn't tell me anything. After I asked my husband, it turned out that it was just their thinking so they could ride the odong-odong this afternoon, there was no reason for his father to refuse because he was already tidy and just had to leave.

I was just surprised by their behavior and smiled to myself, they had an idea. Finally, I also got ready to go and in just 7 minutes we arrived at Simpang Rangkaya. Children choose the shape of the toy themselves. Afiza chose a red Honda Scoopy likewhich we are currently using, while Ghaisan is like a racing Honda, I don't know the name, while Hamzah and I usually just sit and watch them. 😅

It was getting late, I was grateful that Hamzah wasn't fussy. The children were also very satisfied with their game. After exhausting their energy they felt hungry and I stopped to buy donuts.

We didn't go straight home, we stopped at my mother-in-law's house first. The children took chocolate donuts one by one and ate them while playing. Oh, as long as there is a chance they never get tired of playing, that's what children are.

See you,
From your friend
