The Dragon Boat Festival is the last free day for everyone before the summer harvest.
Last year, most of the rice dumplings Qiao Qingqing made were given to her educated youth friends, and she also sent some to Xiao Shitou's family. Because she was in the late stage of pregnancy and had no appetite, she only ate one or two.
Knowing that people in Beijing eat sweet rice dumplings, Qiao Qingqing planned to prepare more ingredients for sweet rice dumplings.
The main ingredient of salty rice dumplings is meat. On this day, the third day of the lunar month, Qiao Qingqing and Lu Heng went to the county town to buy meat.
The couple had not been alone for a long time. On the way, Qiao Qingqing sat in the back seat of the car, hugging Lu Heng's strong waist, and her buttocks bounced off the seat from time to time due to the uneven road surface.
Fortunately, Lu Heng had laid a thick layer of straw on the seat in advance, and tied two pieces of rags cut from old clothes on the straw, so Qiao Qingqing didn't feel much pain.
Now she and Sun Zhong have come to a showdown.
This time, Qiao Qingqing directly pulled Lu Heng upstairs.
Before this, Qiao Qingqing gave a general introduction to the Sun family's situation. She sat in the back and did not see Lu Heng's expression. She did not know how surprised Lu Heng was in his heart. He felt excited as if he had made it.
His wife took the initiative to reveal her secrets to him, one after another, which showed that his status in his wife's heart was steadily rising!
Of course, in return, he will keep the secret for his lover and prevent his lover from losing miserably after giving his true heart to her.
You know, in a situation like his wife's, being able to take this step must have been a process of inner torment and decision-making, and when she chose to trust him, it was equivalent to putting her life in his hands.
Lu Heng felt a huge burden on his shoulders, he must not let his lover be entrusted to the wrong person!
…
"This is my brother-in-law, right? Hello, hello."
Seeing Qiao Qingqing bringing her lover to the door, Sun Zhong was extremely enthusiastic. He greeted her, stretched out his hands to shake his brother-in-law's hand, and kept saying hello.
Lu Heng was stunned for a second, then quickly responded: "Hello, Brother Sun! Thank you, Brother and Sister-in-law, for taking care of my wife all along."
"No, no, it's all thanks to our elder sister. Come inside and don't stand outside."
Sun Zhong welcomed the couple into the house, and Qiao Qingqing handed the basket to Huang Wenxiu, "Sister-in-law, the things you brought today are all vegetables grown by our family, and some eggs laid by our own chickens, nothing else."
"You also took eggs? That's a good thing! Hard currency!" Huang Wenxiu couldn't hide her joy, "Sister, I take things every time, and it costs you money!"
"It's my own food. It doesn't cost any money." Qiao Qingqing smiled.
Huang Wenxiu is not that ungrateful. Her things are also money!
Like this egg, only one cent each!
Qiao Qingqing brought twenty of them at once, which really shocked Huang Wenxiu.
"Auntie..."
When Junjun saw her mother Qiao Qingqing coming, she happily wanted to go up and hold her hand, but Lu Heng appeared behind her, so Junjun shrank back behind her mother.
At this moment, Lu Heng was led by Sun Zhong to sit on the sofa, and Junjun dared to greet Qiao Qingqing.
Qiao Qingqing bent down, picked him up, and rocked him: "Junjun has gained weight, and it's a little harder to hold you than the last time I came."
"I've been eating well and sleeping well recently, and I don't have anything to do all day. It would be strange if I didn't gain weight." Huang Wenxiu smiled and continued the conversation as she packed the vegetables and eggs in the basket.
Qiao Qingqing hugged Junjun with one hand and scratched his nose. "It would be better if you gain some weight, right, Junjun? Auntie brought you some eggs, do you like them?"
Junjun smiled shyly: "Yeah!"
Huang Wenxiu looked at her son lovingly: "Junjun loves to eat egg custard. His father usually makes eggs for him. There are not so many people selling eggs..."
Eggs are in short supply!
Urban residents cannot raise poultry, and eggs are an excellent nutritional product. Families with elderly people, children, pregnant women, etc. all want to buy eggs.
So when Qiao Qingqing came over that day, she brought eggs instead of seafood.
People are tired of eating seafood all the time.
Besides, Lu Heng was there too, so it would be difficult to explain why he sent seafood.
Eggs didn't matter. She had chickens at home, and she would secretly take eggs out of the space and put them in a basket every day. Over time, there were so many eggs at home that they seemed unable to finish eating them.
There were also some fresh and juicy vegetables sent over. In an era when even buying vegetables required vegetable coupons, this basket of vegetables was a good gift.
Of course, Sun Zhong and his wife also offered the highest level of treatment to entertain them.
"It just so happens that I have some left from cutting the pork yesterday. I'll stir-fry the pork with garlic sprouts, steam an egg, and steam a fish for lunch tomorrow!"
"Sister-in-law, don't bother. We can just eat something casually."
"Of course not, sister, don't be so reserved when you come to my sister-in-law!"
Qiao Qingqing had no choice but to laugh.
Sun Zhong had a brief chat with Lu Heng and asked about Lu Heng's health.
