The three of them had discussed it on the way.
"There are all kinds of messy things in here, including bedding rolls, clothes and so on..." Ning Jia replied, "We originally planned to sleep on the floor in the hospital, but the hospital wouldn't allow us to do so. Besides, it was terribly cold, so..."
"By the way, do you want to take a look? I'll untie the bag for you, but this bedding has been used for a long time, so it has a bit of smell. Just don't dislike us." After Li Xu said this, he was about to untie the bag.
She had seen this situation before.
Country people don't have much money in their pockets, so when they go out they always carry a lot of luggage, and it is common for them to bring bedding.
So this is not something surprising.
"No, no need! I'm just asking casually. I've given you the keys. Go upstairs!" The front desk staff waved her hand and told them to go upstairs as if she was afraid of suffocating her. But she pointed at Li Yao and said, "You can't stay overnight without a letter of introduction. Send them upstairs and leave immediately."
"Okay, thank you, 倲志!"
Four people booked two rooms.
Li Yao helped Ning Jia carry the bag back to the house. He weighed it with his hand and said, "It's not very heavy. What kind of cloth is inside it?"
"Some scraps of cloth."
"Rags? Can this be used?"
"Of course! We can just piece them together and use them. It's much better than patching them." Ning Jia was counting on making money from these fabrics.
It’s a good New Year if you make money.
"Okay, you have brains, this is all up to you."
"That's natural."
It was already late, so Ning Jia went to wash up first. Li Yao lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, his long legs crossed, and his eyes staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Aren't you ready yet?" Ning Jia urged him.
"Are you in such a hurry to let me go?" Li Yao smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her over. "The people below haven't urged me yet. I'll wait a little longer."
Ning Jia lay down next to him: "How is Third Brother doing? How long will it take for you to come back? If you don't come home soon, it will be the New Year soon."
Li Yao's hand restlessly stroked her slender waist: "I will definitely be able to go back during the Chinese New Year, don't worry about that."
"By the way, I'm afraid I'll forget it tomorrow, so I'll leave you some money. You won't be able to eat well with Third Sister-in-law these days, so put some money in your pocket so you can go out and buy yourself something delicious when you're hungry."
After Ning Jia finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out twenty yuan and stuffed it into Li Yao's pocket.
"My wife is so generous, giving so much money!" Li Yao came over and wanted to kiss her.
Ning Jia quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Stop, stop! Hurry up, or someone will come up and urge you to do it!"
"I won't rush her. She might have fallen asleep down there..."
Li Yao hugged Ning Jia tightly in his arms, buried his head in her neck and deeply inhaled her scent. It had only been two days since they last met, but he already missed her scent a little.
Unconsciously, his body began to change.
Ning Jia noticed it and pushed his chest: "Don't make trouble... We are not at home, you should restrain yourself outside."
"What are you afraid of? I'm being intimate with my own wife, not with anyone else. Besides, it will probably take several days for me to get back..."
Before Li Yao could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.
"Qizhi, it's time for you to leave. You can't stay too long!"
Li Yao: “…”
Ning Jia laughed silently: "I know, that's it!"
Li Yao stood up helplessly: "I'll leave first and come back later."
The next day.
The first ray of sunlight illuminated the window and fell on Ning Jia's face. When she woke up, she saw buns and fried dough sticks on the table.
She fell asleep shortly after Li Yaoqian came last night.
When Li Yao came back, she was very sleepy and had no intention of being intimate. She just put her head on the pillow and fell asleep.
"Awake?" Li Yao came in with a basin and a towel on his shoulders. "I've got some water for you. Get up and wash up."
"Okay!" Ning Jia said as he slowly put on his clothes, "We'll go back after breakfast."
"I'll take you to the station!"
The hot pork buns tasted so greasy that Ning Jia ate two more fried dough sticks.
During this period of time, her appetite increased and she would eat until her stomach was full every time. Gradually, she felt as if she had gained some weight.
Only after she had eaten the rest did Li Yao put all the food into his stomach.
After checking out of the hotel after breakfast, Li Yao sent the three of them to the station. He watched them get on the bus back to town before returning to the hospital.
On the road, the large woven bags carrying Ning Jia and the other two were very conspicuous, and many people were asking what was in the bags.
Ning Jia didn't answer at first, but when more people asked, she finally spoke up: "Here are some scraps of cloth."
When they heard that they were pieces of cloth, the women in the car all looked at her and asked, "These are pieces of cloth? How small are they?"
Ning Jia waved her hand: "Don't ask."
The more she forbade people to ask, the more people asked.
Seeing that business was coming, An Ye said casually, "It's not too broken. After all, I plan to put them together to make clothes."
"Hey, stop talking so much..." Ning Jia tugged at her clothes.
An Ye quickly covered her mouth.
After they said this, everyone's attention was focused on the four large woven bags.
"Where did you get so many? They're all in these four bags, right?" someone asked.
"There are many people in my family. We need to prepare several sets of clothes for each person during the New Year, right?" Ning Jia avoided the question and did not give a direct answer.
If you ask too many questions, he will stop talking.
After more than an hour's drive, when they arrived in the town, the three got off the car, and a group of women were chasing them.
"Wait! Wait!"
"Business is coming!" Ning Jia raised an eyebrow at An Ye, "Try hard and sell all these goods to her."
As the two of them were talking, someone came up and asked, "Girl, can you sell us some of this cloth?"
"Yeah, yeah, even if you have a large family, you can't use so much, right?"
“Sell some!”
Ning Jia was in a dilemma: "How can I do this? I don't have any use for it myself, and if I sell it to you and get caught, I can't take the responsibility!"
An Ye immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, it's not worth it to take such a big risk when it can't sell for much money!"
"Why don't we just go somewhere where there's no one?"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"The New Year is coming soon, and the few cloth coupons we were given are not enough to make clothes for the elderly and children at home, let alone the adults. Girl, please be kind and sell us some, and we will definitely not tell anyone."
Who’s family doesn’t lack cloth these days?
Anyone who comes to buy does so with sincerity.
"Okay, let's sell it!" Ning Jia finally agreed.
