Chapter 164

Zhao Dashan quickly took the buns from his wife's hand and said, "You two ladies, go back first, we'll take care of these things. It's almost time, let the mother and daughter go back first, and come back tomorrow morning." After saying that, he winked and pointed at the buns in his hand and looked at his wife in shock.

Cheng Hongli couldn't help laughing when she saw him winking and then widening his eyes. "Shanshan, buy more. I'm afraid you'll be hungry. And some are for Xiaoya to take back."

Zhou Xiaozheng took the quilt from Lin Lishan's arms and said to her, "You and the others go in and rest first. I'll come here and pack some buns and steamed buns for Xiaoya to take back. Tell them to go back early and come early tomorrow."

Lin Lishan nodded and smiled at him, "Brother Zheng, I forgot that there was still homespun cloth. Fortunately, I went to check it out today, otherwise it would be a waste to make curtain cloth from that cloth."

Zhou Xiaozheng hugged the quilt and joked, "Oh, our Shanshan said it was wasteful. It's okay, you two can wear new clothes every day and dress up beautifully. When people see you, they will wonder where these two grown-up girls came from."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're still a grown-up girl." After saying that, her face turned red with shame and she glanced to the side. Fortunately, Zhao Dashan and his wife didn't hear it, so she stomped her feet and ran inside.

Zhou Xiaozheng ran three times before putting the things in the bedroom, washed his hands, and came to sit next to Zhao Dashan to eat the buns. "It tastes good. Our buns are full of ingredients."

Zhao Dashan finished his buns and nodded. "Brother Zheng, have you bought enough? There are so many things. I see a lot of fabric in the back room, piled up in rolls. How many do you need to make?"

"At first, we didn't think of buying homespun cloth. But when they went out and saw that it looked nice and cheap, they bought some to make curtains and bedding. The extra cloth can be used to make clothes. Women never mind having too many clothes, so I'll make a few more sets for your daughter later."

Lin Lishan and the other person came in, heard what was going on, and then said, "Brother Zheng, you really understand women. Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with Shanshan. When she finishes packing up here tomorrow, we'll go to the alley together to find someone to make clothes."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at Lin Lishan and said, "Let's all go. How about letting them come by themselves tomorrow? These two are good people. If Jiaojiao needs to do a big cleaning or wash big items, she can ask them. She won't be able to handle it with her small body." After saying that, he saw his wife nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"Go and look for anything else you want to take back to the village. Put it aside and we'll take it out later."

After hearing this, Lin Lishan took Cheng Hongli's hand and walked into the bedroom. "Let's go in. You can see if there is anything you need. Pick some to take back. They are military-grade and the materials are all good."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I know you don't need these things."

Entering the bedroom, Lin Lishan opened the closet, took out two quilts and placed them on the bed, allowing her to choose. Cheng Hongli looked at the overflowing closet and was too embarrassed to take more. She looked straight at the boots and school bags that were in large quantities. Her son really liked these things, and there happened to be a few extra, enough for Xiaowu to wear.

"I'll give my two sons two pairs of size 42 boots. They're made of thick material and can withstand winter. The remaining one will be enough for Xiaowu. I'll also give him two school bags, but they're all worn out. The rest will be for Jiaojiao to use later. They won't go bad if they're kept."

Lin Lishan stepped forward and pulled her away, then took a look herself. "Jiaojiao will be given away if she keeps it, either to her two sisters-in-law or her two eldest sisters-in-law. You only think about your son and not your daughter. When Jiaojiao sees it, she will ask her to take it back, so you might as well take it with you. I gave her a pair of these small sizes before, and later I bought a pair at Friendship Mall. These two pairs are enough for her. I won't give you the large-sized boots. They will be for Xiaowu to use when he goes out. Actually, I bought Xiaowu's too, in case the boys would wear out their shoes. I'll give your little girl a schoolbag too, it's just right for her to go to school. Take a look at these three sets of military uniforms to see if they are big enough. I haven't seen your children, so I don't know the size."

Cheng Hongli pushed it away, "Don't give it to me, I'll keep it all. The uniforms are perfect for when the weather gets warmer, so it's not a big deal if I have too much."

Lin Lishan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you being so polite? My family is full of soldiers, so how can we be short of uniforms? Besides, aren't we going to make clothes tomorrow? I bought a lot of fabric and I don't know how to make clothes for my daughter and son-in-law. You can check if the size is suitable. Keep it for them to wear on weekdays, and we will make it tomorrow to wear during the New Year. Hurry up, I'll see what else I have. Take three of those hats, enough for the three siblings. I'll only have two left." After saying that, she took the hat and put it on the bed.

Cheng Hongli hurried forward and closed the wardrobe door. If she were asked to choose again, she would probably be too embarrassed to face anyone. Looking at the pile of things on the bed, she was worried. "How am I going to take them back? I need a cart to carry them with the two pieces of cloth I bought."

"No need, we'll move it to the car now and send it back to your house first." After saying that, without waiting for her to answer, he walked up to her, wrapped her boots and hat in his military uniform, and carried them out.

Cheng Lihong quickly followed her example, curling up and carrying the baby out. When she got out, she saw Zhao Dashan staring at them with wide eyes, "What are you doing?"

Lin Lishan smiled and said as she walked: "There are too many. I'll give some to Yuanyuan. You two can sit down first. We will be back soon."

When the two of them moved the baby back and forth for the second time, Zhao Dashan couldn't sit still any longer. "Sister-in-law, please be patient. Don't take it out. Leave it for Jiaojiao and Xiaowu. Put Hongli down quickly."

Zhou Xiaozheng walked over and pulled him to sit down. "Why are you, a grown man, meddling in women's business? Just sit still. Didn't you see that the car this afternoon was full of stuff? Xiaowu and Jiaojiao can't wear them, so your sister-in-law bought a lot of fabric. They know what women are talking about, and this isn't good stuff. If you want to go to the military region, you might as well bring it back on the way."

Zhao Dashan saw that Lin Lishan had already run away, but his wife was still standing there. He smiled helplessly and said, "Go ahead. Since they've all moved, you can take back whatever rare things Brother Zheng has. Don't be polite to them."

Cheng Hongli laughed heartily and said loudly as she walked: "Brother Zheng, you want everything, and you've moved it all."

Zhou Xiaozheng pretended to be angry after hearing this and glared at her, "Look at your wife, you still don't take care of her."

"It's a good thing my wife is turning her back on me. This time, she's so happy. My two sons keep asking me to buy them a complete set of military uniforms and boots, and to carry military bags, saying they look so impressive. I just found a set last year, but the boys wore out the boots within a year. I don't know where they go all the time."

"It's better for boys to be naughty, and it's better for girls to be well-behaved. I think your two sons are twins, right? They must be 19 or 20 years old now, right? Are they working?"

Zhao Dashan sighed, "He's 19 years old now. One has been admitted to the provincial university, but the second one hasn't made up his mind at home. I wanted him to join the army, but he wasn't happy about it, saying it must be bad if Xiaowu didn't go. Haha, I gave him a good beating, but he still hasn't made up his mind. I told him to take the exam again with Yuanyuan next year. If he doesn't perform well, he has to agree to follow my arrangements. If his grades aren't good, there's no chance next year either. He's not as steady as the eldest, so this time I plan to bring him to the unit to hang out with Xiaowu."
