Thinking about this, I automatically straightened my back and felt incredibly lucky!
The fruit wasn't finished being packed all morning, so the villagers set up a large pot around the village and made a big stew.
Cured pork, Chinese cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, chili peppers, eggplant—basically, whatever you can throw in.
The staple food was large, white steamed buns. Lu Zhixia thought the stew tasted good, so she discussed it with the old lady who cooked it and learned that she was from the south.
Stewed dishes are very famous in their area. Lu Zhixia thinks that this dish is oily and not expensive. If she could make it and sell it, she estimated that the sales would be good.
As it was getting dark, the fruit was finally packed up.
Lu Zhixia drove back to the city and picked up Zhou Cheng, who had been waiting for her.
Su Lan handed the bundle to her husband, saying, "Don't skimp on the journey; eat whatever you want!"
Zhou Cheng nodded emphatically in agreement, "Take good care of the children at home."
Su Lan looked at her husband with reluctance. They never missed an opportunity to make money.
It was really hard to say goodbye; I wished I could go with him.
Lu Zhixia said to Brother Biao in the car, "Take good care of my brother. We'd rather lose the goods than let anything happen to any of you!"
She was worried that they might be robbed on the road and that they might get into a fight with someone.
Brother Biao took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Don't worry, girl! The route I chose this time is very safe. Even if something happens, I can handle it!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Don't forget the agreed location. I'll come there to find you then."
Brother Biao waved at them, "Don't worry! I won't forget!" "Alright, those who didn't say anything else, drive off!"
Su Lan waved goodbye to her husband vigorously; this was the first time Zhou Cheng had gone so far.
Watching the truck slowly drive away, it took Su Lan's heart with it.
Lu Zhixia said, "Sister Lan, don't worry, everything will be alright!"
Su Lan said, "I knew nothing would happen; it's just that it's the first time I've ever traveled this far."
Lu Zhixia said, "Let's go! The child is still waiting for us at home!"
Su Lan nodded, then glanced in the direction her husband had left. The car was no longer in sight before she looked away.
Then they walked back to the tenement building hand in hand.
Su Lan came into the room and asked, "How's your packing going?"
Lu Zhixia: "I've almost finished packing. I'm more experienced than last time, so I brought a few more changes of clothes."
Su Lan said, "Don't worry, Xiao Linzi, I'll take good care of him."
Lu Zhixia looked at Su Lan and said, "How could I live without you!"
Su Lan laughed, "Aren't you afraid your husband will hear you saying that?"
Lu Zhixia said nonchalantly, "He knows we have a good relationship."
Su Lan said, "I feel more at ease knowing that Officer Zhou is going with you this time. Otherwise, I would be worried about both of you at the same time!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Don't worry! We'll all come back safe and sound. Just wait for our good news! If sales are good this time, I can give my brother-in-law this amount?"
She held up three fingers, which represented 300 yuan.
Su Lan was surprised by the amount of money. "If you give us so much, how will you even make a profit?"
Lu Zhixia said, "My initial estimate is that this number will only be more, not less. You just need to wait to collect the money!"
Su Lan thought to herself that with this money, plus the money she had on hand, she could have a good New Year for her family and buy new cotton-padded clothes for the children when winter came.
Previously, the older children would wear out their clothes and pass them on to the younger ones. The clothes were patched one after another, and she couldn't bear to see it anymore.
I thought to myself that these hard times are finally over.
Lu Zhixia handed the bag containing her son's clothes to Sister Lan.
"I'm entrusting Xiaolinzi to you during this time; these are all his tools."
Su Lan took the bag and stood up. "Xiao Linzi is too well-behaved. He has a maturity that a child shouldn't have. What he went through before hurt him too much."
Lu Zhixia said, "I think the child is almost out of it, especially when he plays with your children. He's happy every day."
Su Lan said, "Xiao Linzi takes special care of Yuanyuan. Sometimes when I see them together, I feel more and more satisfied with my son-in-law."
Lu Zhixia laughed, "You know what, I feel the same way. If they really are destined to be together when they grow up, then Yuanyuan can be my daughter-in-law. You can't disagree!"
Su Lan said, "How could I possibly disagree? With a mother-in-law like you, my daughter will definitely be happy for the rest of her life!"
The two of them laughed at the same time, never imagining that their words would later come true!
Gu Huailin returned from outside, drenched in sweat, carrying a basin of clothes to be washed.
"Mom, I've washed all the clothes!"
