Ningxia went to the kitchen after Ren Jingxiao left. Third aunt said that she wanted to marinate all the meat that she brought yesterday.

Although the weather is very cold, the meat will become stale if it is left out.

Ningxia wanted to squat down and help, but her third aunt refused to agree no matter what. She said it would be uncomfortable to squat with such a big belly.

"Xia Xia, are all the children's things ready? I made them a set of clothes when I got home and had some free time. They're a bit big, though, so they won't be ready until the children are about a year old."

Third aunt thought that Ningxia must have prepared clothes for the newborn herself.

"I've prepared a lot, but I don't know if it's enough." Ningxia became talkative when talking about her children.

"What have you prepared? Tell me and I'll give you some advice." Aunt Shen gave birth to three children, so she must have some experience.

"I calculated that the baby was born in March or April, and it was still very cold at that time. I made four thicker blankets and two thinner blankets, a total of six."

"And milk powder. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough milk for the newborn and that the next two babies wouldn't have enough to eat, so I found ways to buy it myself during this period. I also bought some in Beijing, so there are a total of 80 bags of milk powder."

"We only prepared ten bottles, and I made ten sets of clothes for the newborn. I also made some clothes for the older children, and I plan to make more as they grow bigger. I also made a lot of diapers, which cost about fifty or sixty yuan."

"The rest are for me to eat during my confinement period. Ren Jingxiao will prepare them. I haven't planned anything else yet..."

Ningxia talked about them one by one, and then looked at Aunt Shen San to ask if there was anything she had missed.

Aunt Shen San was dumbfounded. Eighty bags of milk powder, ten bottles, ten sets of clothes and dozens of diapers?

This is enough to raise dozens of children, not to mention rare items like milk powder and bottles, even the clothes are patched up old clothes.

Even when the children of the Shen family were born, not all of them had new clothes to wear. They only had one set of clothes prepared for them, and the rest had to wear clothes picked up from their older brothers and sisters.

Cloth coupons and cloth are hard to come by these days, so how could it be so extravagant? Aunt Shen San didn't know what to say.

Some people said they were too wasteful, but she could also understand the expectations for the first child, and she tried her best to give the child the best at that time.

She couldn't continue by saying that they were well prepared, but it seemed that the two children were living a good life, at least not as difficult as they imagined.

Not to mention anything else, the milk powder that children drink is different from the milk powder that adults drink. That one is more delicate and is only sold in the Friendship Store. Not only is it a special supply, it also requires a foreign exchange bill.

It's easy to imagine how difficult that is, but the fact that they were able to buy eighty bags is something I can't get even on the black market.

Ningxia didn't know that Aunt Shen San was thinking so much. Those milk powders were all prepared in cans in her space in the future.

She didn't have that much money at the time, so she bought six boxes, a total of 72 cans, and together with the ones she bought in Beijing, she barely made up 80 cans.

However, the milk powder here is all in bags, and Ningxia thought it would be more convenient to put it in cans.

She thought about how in later generations, baby formula was bought in boxes, and one child would be enough to drink this milk powder until one year old, and two would be enough.

However, if you add breast milk and wait until they are old enough to eat complementary foods, it should be enough. Ningxia is also worried about what to do if the children don't eat milk powder. Anyway, she is always worried.

"Xia girl, you have definitely prepared enough." Aunt Shen San didn't say much. Everyone has his or her own way of living.

These two kids are not clueless. If they have that ability, what else can she say?

Ren Jingxiao went out for a walk and came back. Seeing Xia Xia and his third aunt talking, he did not disturb them and sat quietly beside them.

"Jingxiao, why don't you go play in the front? The people living there are drivers from the Transportation Department. They are probably playing cards together!" Third aunt saw Ren Jingxiao sitting there without saying anything and was worried that he would be bored.

Thinking of the drivers living in front, she thought Ren Jingxiao should be able to chat with them.

Although those people were gathered together playing cards and talking nonsense, they were still honest and had not done anything bad. Aunt Shen knew what kind of people these families were like.

"I won't go. I'll stay at home with Xia Xia." Ren Jingxiao thought that if he went there, those people would be scared.

When the third aunt heard him say this naturally and without any embarrassment about accompanying his wife, she was quite envious at her age.

The men in the Shen family are particularly fond of their wives. When she was young, many of her good friends envied her for marrying a good man, but compared with Jingxiao, Old Shen really can't compare.

Third Aunt thought that Xia Yatou had good fortune in the future, and it was worth it to have such a husband in this life.

My third aunt chatted with them for a while and then went out, taking the sweater with her to chat with those people about family matters.

"Xia Xia, they're still outside. I counted about ten of them today. It won't be easy to avoid them and return to Dahei Mountain."

Ren Jingxiao observed the surrounding terrain and found that the area was completely fenced off.

There are only two doors for entering and exiting. As long as they guard the two doors, it will be impossible for him to avoid them and go out directly.

"How about I fire the cannons at night to lure them away?" Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao discussed.

"If the cannons are fired, those people will know that we have discovered them. What if they come to force us?" Ren Jingxiao disagreed.

"Those people in the county didn't take action because they were afraid of the cannons. If the cannons were deployed, they might be scared and not dare to act rashly. You can go to Dahei Mountain to find out the truth. Our main task now is to find out the purpose of these people."

Ningxia knew that this method was a bit risky, but there was no better solution now.

They did nothing. Even if Third Uncle went to investigate, it would take who knows when this clueless matter would be solved.

They never know what those people are trying to do, and if they suddenly do something, they will be in a passive position.

Ren Jingxiao lowered his head and thought for a while. He thought that if the cannons scared those people and made them afraid to do anything for the time being, then he would have more time to investigate their origins.

But he also told those people clearly that they had discovered them. If the cannons could not suppress them, the danger would be even greater if he was not here. Ren Jingxiao hesitated.

"Don't worry, if they really come for us, I'll take the cannon and go into space after you leave. They won't be able to find me even if they want to do anything."

"Since they are secretly afraid to show it in public, they won't easily touch Third Uncle and Third Aunt and the others. You can go without worry. I'll wait for you here."

Ningxia knew what Ren Jingxiao was worried about, but she didn't want to remain so passive.
