After Xie Qingxiao finished taking a shower, he brought Lin Xiangyi a basin of hot water for her to wash her face and feet.
When they came out, they didn't plan to stay overnight at Zhang Pengfei's house and didn't bring any spare clothes.
Xie Qingxiao borrowed Zhang Pengfei's clothes. Lin Xiangyi didn't have any spare clothes, and it was inconvenient for her to take a shower because of her big belly, so she didn't plan to take a shower today.
But it didn't matter, she didn't do any work today anyway.
After washing, Xie Qingxiao went to pour water, and Lin Xiangyi lay directly on the bed, wrapping herself tightly with the quilt.
When Xie Qingxiao came in, she silently moved forward.
Xie Qingxiao felt hot, he threw back the quilt and lay down in it——
Lin Xiangyi took a breath and said, "Can you please not move so violently? The air conditioning is completely turned off."
"I'm sorry," Xie Qingxiao apologized decisively, reaching out to hug Lin Xiangyi, wanting to bring her into his arms.
A big belly was between him and Lin Xiangyi...
Xie Qingxiao: “…” I forgot that Lin Xiangyi is seven or eight months pregnant.
Lin Xiangyi sneered: "Why are you so impatient? We can't do that now."
She was now in the late stage of her pregnancy, and Father Shen had specifically told them not to have sex again, and Xie Qingxiao had been celibate for several days.
"It will take more than two months before the baby is born," Xie Qingxiao touched Lin Xiangyi's belly and felt that the time was a bit long.
"Yes," Lin Xiangyi turned over and rubbed his waist.
She was looking forward to giving birth more than Xie Qingxiao. She was exhausted every day because she had trouble walking, sitting and sleeping with a big belly.
Xie Qingxiao gently rubbed her sore spots and lowered his head: "Can we take some time out these few days to go to the city?"
Lin Xiangyi shook her head when she heard this: "I've made a good deal today. I'll go a few days before the New Year, and I'll be able to buy some New Year's goods by then."
That's fine.
Xie Qingxiao listened to Lin Xiangyi.
Lin Xiangyi thought of something again: "When will the business close?"
"How about during the Little New Year?" Xie Qingxiao said after pondering for a moment.
Lin Xiangyi nodded. It was still a week before the Spring Festival after the Little New Year, so it wasn't too early. "Okay. After working so hard for a few months, I'll give the employees in the workshop and the stewed food shop a few days off to rest."
"When the time comes, we'll pay out this month's wages and give out a red envelope..."
"Should we exchange the red envelopes for New Year's gifts?" Xie Qingxiao asked.
"Of course it would be best if it were converted into New Year's goods," said Lin Xiangyi.
Nowadays, tickets have not been abolished for many things, especially for ordinary people who do not have formal jobs. Many things cannot be bought even if they have money.
The workshop employees naturally don’t have any tickets, so distributing New Year’s goods will definitely make them happier than giving out red envelopes.
"But if we distribute New Year's goods, the quantity is too large and it is difficult for us to buy them," said Lin Xiangyi.
Although they have collected a lot of tickets, they are only enough to buy the New Year's goods they need for their own family. If they want to distribute them to their employees... I'm afraid it won't be enough.
Xie Qingxiao said, "Make a list later and I'll see if I can find someone to help buy them. If we can't find them, we'll give out red envelopes."
Lin Xiangyi knew that Xie Qingxiao had many connections outside, so she did not refuse: "Okay, I'll make a list for you later."
There are channels to buy New Year’s goods, so it’s okay if it’s a little troublesome.
How can we be afraid of trouble when it comes to winning people's hearts?
After returning the next day, Lin Xiangyi wrote a list and gave it to Xie Qingxiao. Within two days, Xie Qingxiao brought her good news, saying that most of the things on the list could be bought, but they would be a little more expensive than the market price.
After discussing it, the couple decided to buy it.
After a busy day, it’s already the day before the New Year.
On this day, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were going to the city for a prenatal check-up. This time, Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei did not go with them.
The doctor had previously told them that Su Xiaomei’s condition was not optimistic and recommended that they go to the city for a prenatal checkup every month.
Aunt Xie was afraid that Su Xiaomei really had something wrong, so she asked the couple to listen to the doctor.
Xie Guoqiang and Su Xiaomei had been there once with Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, and were familiar with the procedures, so they dared to go too.
They just came back from their prenatal checkup a few days ago.
This time Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi, Zhang Pengfei, Shen Xiaolan and others went together.
As Lin Xiangyi got older, she would ask Shen's father to check her pulse every week. She basically believed that there was nothing wrong with the baby.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi felt relieved. After leaving the hospital, they went to the department store.
I originally wanted to do a big shopping spree, but it was close to the Chinese New Year and the department store was packed with people.
It was indeed a mistake.
Lin Xiangyi did not go in as she had difficulty moving, and instead walked around the nearby People's Park with Xie Qingxiao.
Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan had no burden, so they went shopping in the department store.
The two of them were very powerful and bought a lot of things. They also bought a lot for Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.
After the four returned to the county town, they went straight to Zhang Pengfei's house.
Er Laizi and several of his brothers were sitting at the door, and two ox carts were parked side by side next to them.
The ox cart was piled high with things, all wrapped in black cloth, so others could not see what was inside.
These were the New Year goods that Xie Qingxiao asked someone to help buy, and Er Laizi helped to bring them back.
"Brother Xiao, you are finally back," Er Laizi was overjoyed to see them.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I waited for a while, not too long," Er Laizi said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, I have already counted the quantity, do you want to count it too?"
"No need," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "Just count it. It's getting late. Take out some of the goods first. Pengfei, you can distribute them to the store employees tomorrow. We'll take the rest back and distribute them to the employees in the workshop."
"Okay," Zhang Pengfei said with a smile, and he and Er Laizi and others moved some of the New Year's goods from the ox cart to his house.
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were going back to the village. Before leaving, Lin Xiangyi gave Zhang Pengfei some money and asked Zhang Pengfei to distribute it to the employees of the braised food shop together with these New Year's goods.

The atmosphere in the Xie family was a bit subtle at this time.
Mother Xie looked at the two people busying around between the kitchen and the main room with a complicated look in her eyes.
These two people are Xie Qingrong and Sun Lanjun.
They came back this afternoon. At that time, Xie's father and mother went to work in the fields. When they came back, they saw Brother Xie and Sun Lanjun.
I just found out that Brother Xie’s post office was closed yesterday, and today he brought Sun Lanjun and Xiao Ni home to celebrate the New Year.
In previous years, Brother Xie and his family would also come back to celebrate the New Year, but they would usually return around New Year’s Eve. This year they came almost a week earlier than previous years.
