Rebirth, Old Lady in the Countryside: Taking Care of My Children and Grandchildren

Old Madam Qiao was reborn—seven days before her whole family was sent to the countryside.

Looking at her family, still safe and sound—her son and daughter-in-law alive, her two young gran...

Chapter 265

Please advise?!

What do you want to ask her?!

Qiao Jiuru looked at Song Luoyun in confusion for a moment, completely bewildered.

"Mom, it was you who suggested to Xiao Luo that he should bring some mountain products back when he returned to Beijing to visit his relatives, and asked him to ask Uncle Guang if he wanted any mountain products?! Does anyone know anyone on the train who can help?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Su Huazhu beside her quickly reminded her mother.

Ah, so it was that incident.

She remembered.

"Xiao Luo, I remember now. I asked you to ask your captain first, so what did your captain say? Did you ask Comrade Guang?!"

This is good for all three parties, that's why Qiao Jiuru gave Song Luoyun this suggestion.

"Aunt, I'll listen to you and go find the captain. The captain said he can help collect the best mountain products. But he doesn't want money, he wants materials, or bigger items, such as bicycles, sewing machines, and watches, which are in short supply."

After listening to the captain's words, Song Luoyun felt disappointed. Even if he had these things, he couldn't get them back by exchanging them for those mountain products. They were not precious things like thousand-year-old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and deer antlers. Only precious things could be exchanged for them.

"Not only are these things hard to exchange, but even if you do get them, you can't bring them back. Unless you have these tickets, which are not unavailable, they just cost money, a markup. As for the materials, ask Comrade Guang if he knows anyone who can help you get some."

Qiao Jiuru felt it was too embarrassing when she heard this. She had previously gone to the black market to exchange business tickets, bicycle tickets, watch tickets, overseas Chinese tickets and the like, and all of them were marked up.

In a big city like Beijing, there are many ways to get around. As long as you have money and channels, you can buy whatever you want.

"Aunt, call Comrade Guang. He knows someone at the train station and said that as much as possible can be shipped over. When the time comes, give some to the people on the train. If there are a lot of mountain products, he will find a car to come to the train station to pick them up."

Xiao Luo was very excited. He didn't expect that the two things that worried him the most, transportation and sales, could be solved with just one phone call. Now, he felt that the most difficult thing was the materials for the bicycle and watch that the captain wanted.

"Then tell the captain the truth. These things are only available on the black market and require a price increase. Ask him if he is willing? Moreover, you can only bring the tickets and materials here."

Qiao Jiuru asked Xiao Luo to continue talking with the captain. He said that he couldn't promise anything that he couldn't do, so he could just take less back, or exchange it for money.

"Also, call Comrade Guang and ask him to write you a contract to purchase from the production team and send it to you. Then ask your team leader to issue you a certificate to avoid being checked along the way."

This contract and certificate must be issued to Song Luoyun. If it is too little, it doesn't matter. But if it is too much, it must be issued.

Song Luoyun nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and kept it in mind, thinking that he was right to ask his aunt for advice.

"Auntie, let's go to the commune to make a phone call later."

Well, I can help my aunt and others buy things, and I can take care of my own affairs, killing two birds with one stone.

After the matter was settled and the things were brought, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan also had to go back.

Su Huazhu and the Song brothers and sisters sent them all the way out of the production team. They turned back only after watching Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru walk away.

After the three of them returned, they immediately made breakfast. After breakfast, they set out together, carrying their backpacks.

Su Huazhu went to mail the package and letter first, while Song Luoyun went to make a phone call. The two of them acted separately, and Xiaoshu followed Su Huazhu.

About half an hour later, the three of them walked out of the commune post office and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Salt, needle and thread, toilet paper, brown sugar, pens, ink, paper, biscuits, snacks, candies, matches…soon the three of them filled up their backpacks.

Fortunately, all these only require money and no tickets. When the people from the supply and marketing cooperative saw them take out a piece of paper and check while buying, they knew that these three educated youth were bringing the goods for someone else.

After buying all the things, Su Huazhu took the Song brothers and sisters to the state-owned restaurant and took out four lunch boxes.

She bought two braised pork buns for herself, asked Xiao Luo to buy two as well, and finally asked Xiao Shu to buy one so they could eat together in the store.

As a result, not long after they sat down, Ailian and Fu Qiu came in together.

"Brother Fu, Sister Lian, here, here."

There were not many people in the state-owned restaurants. People living in the communes generally did not eat in the restaurants, and almost all of them took food home. And those who ate in state-owned restaurants were not educated youth, but invited others to eat in the restaurants.

Therefore, when Fu Qiuzhu and Lian Ailian appeared together, they were immediately seen by the three of them.

When Fu Qiu and Lian Ailian heard someone calling them, they realized it was Su Huazhu and the Song brothers and sisters. The couple smiled and walked over.

"You guys are here at the commune too. We thought you were going up the mountain."

Lian Ailian sat down carefully with the help of Fu Qiu, and then said to Su Huazhu and the others with a smile.

Su Huazhu, Xiaoshu and Xiaolu looked at the couple's actions in surprise. It seemed that they had not heard that Sister Lian was uncomfortable or injured? !

"Sister Lian, what's wrong with you?! Are you feeling uncomfortable?!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Huazhu listened carefully, and then wondered whether to go back and send some eggs or brown sugar to her.

Xiao Luo and Xiao Shu also looked at Lian Ailian with concern, and were thinking of sending her some eggs.

As a result, Lian Ailian smiled sweetly, and couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen with one hand, and then she didn't say anything.

Fu Qiu, who was standing by, couldn't hide his joy after hearing this. He looked left and right before sitting down and speaking to Su Huazhu and the others in a low voice:

"Ailian is pregnant. I noticed that she looked pale these days and always wanted to vomit. I brought her to see you this morning. Unexpectedly, she is pregnant."

Fu Qiu and Lian Ailian had been married for several months, but they didn't expect to find out they were pregnant until after the autumn harvest. This has to be said to be very lucky for both the adults and the child.

"Congratulations, Brother Fu, Sister Lian."

"Sister Lian has a baby?! That's great."

"Congratulations."

Su Huazhu and the Song brothers and sisters were very happy to hear this. This was a good thing. The child came at a really good time.

Fu Qiu and Lian Ailian were also very happy. They thought that the child was caring, sensible, and knew how to choose time.

"Then let's add another dish and celebrate together."

Su Huazhu stood up immediately, ran to the service desk of the state-owned restaurant, and ordered an order of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Fu Qiu also hurried over to order food, including one portion of braised pork, one portion of braised lamb, one stir-fried cabbage, and two bowls of rice.

They happily gathered together to form a table with four main dishes and two green vegetables, which was very sumptuous.

After finishing their meal together, Fu Qiu, Lian Ailian and Su Huazhu went back together.
