Chapter 293: People from Qing City
"Okay, sit over here and take a rest. The babies are sleeping soundly, don't worry. It's a good time to eat some watermelon."
Mother Zhao picked up the watermelon in the basket and said in surprise, "Yueyue, where did you buy this watermelon? It's quite heavy. I haven't seen such a big watermelon in a long time."
Tang Yue glanced at the watermelon with a guilty conscience. This was already the smallest one she had chosen. There was really no watermelon in the space that was less than ten grams.
"I bought them at the black market, and picked out the ones specifically. I thought the ones were too small and not enough to eat, so I bought two and will cut the other one for you when your parents come back."
Mother Zhao was very happy that her daughter-in-law always thought about the old man. It seemed that there would be no problem in living with her eldest son's family in the future.
"How can we finish such a big one? We'll be awesome if we can eat half of it. The other half will be saved for you. As for the remaining one, ask your father to take it to the village tomorrow. The villagers have worked hard to build the houses. If there is no extra one, everyone can still have a small piece. I hope you can be more careful when building the houses."
Mother Zhao was still worried that the old man was too tired from working. He had never done this kind of work before. When he was young, he was either fighting in wars or moving around everywhere. Now that he was old, he had been in Beijing again, but he had never done any hard labor.
Although I have gone to the countryside to work now, I am still happy in my heart. At least I am much better than the old man and my old colleagues.
Thinking about what the old man told me last night, a few old colleagues might be able to let me go, and knowing where I am, they came here on purpose to make some moves.
I just thought that I could take care of her when the time comes. Fortunately, the old man retired early, otherwise, with her family background, she would have been implicated and expelled sooner or later.
I'll live in the countryside from now on, and my old man can take care of my old colleagues more. After all, they're old friends who I've known for decades, so I'll help them in any way I can.
"No, Mom. I'll buy a few more later. You can keep these two at home. Watermelons aren't very expensive. We can still afford them."
Tang Yue felt that she had not considered it carefully just now. She actually forgot about the captains. After all, they were helping her build the house. She would go there again later and bring back a few more sacks.
For the first time, Zhao's mother began to worry about whether her daughter-in-law had enough money to spend. She packed a lot of bags every time she bought something. Even if her eldest son sent back his salary, it still felt like it was not enough for her to spend.
"Yueyue, if you don't have enough money, tell me. I still have some."
Tang Yue felt that her mother-in-law was looking down on someone. Would she be short of money? How could that be possible?
I came to my mother-in-law and whispered in her ear, "Mom, I have plenty of money, don't worry."
Mother Zhao knew that her daughter-in-law must be dishonest again and went to the black market. It seemed that without her eldest son, there was really no one at home to keep an eye on her, so she could only remind her again and again.
"Pay more attention to safety. Don't forget that there are so many children at home. What if something happens to you?"
"Mom, don't worry. Once the house is ready, I won't come here again after I leave the village. I'll just stay in the team all day."
"Promise me that everything you say is true and you are not lying."
Tang Yue saw her mother-in-law had a serious face and started to make promises, which was quite funny.
"I promise."
He raised a finger and promised.
After arriving at the team, I really didn't come anymore. After all, the situation was becoming more and more chaotic.
I distributed the cut fruits to everyone, and asked them to take the rest themselves.
I specially cut it into pointed pieces for the children so that it is more convenient for them to eat.
"Mom, this watermelon is delicious. Can you buy some more next time?"
"Yes, I'll eat it again next time."
Seeing that Jiaobao's mouth was full, he was still nodding hard, showing that he agreed with what his brothers said. He hadn't eaten anything in his mouth yet, but he was still greedy and wanted to eat more. He was really a little foodie.
But it is indeed because the fruits in the space are so delicious that even adults want to eat more, let alone children.
"Yueyue, this watermelon is really good. You can buy some more and keep them at home. The weather is not hot now, so they can be kept for a while."
"The watermelon Yueyue bought this time is really delicious. I have lived a lifetime and have eaten many delicious things with my lady before, but I have never eaten such a delicious watermelon."
"Aunt Wu, Aunt Li, if you like it, eat more. There's more after you finish it. Don't be polite."
The two aunts were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. They had never imagined that they could live such a comfortable life when they were old.
"Eat, Yueyue should eat more too, don't just focus on us."
"I ate a lot of watermelon and my stomach felt so full. How could I have lunch?"
Mother Zhao looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already half past eleven, almost time for lunch. She originally wanted to just try the watermelon, but she never expected it to be so delicious. She couldn't help but finish the whole watermelon.
"Mom, don't rush to cook for now. I'm so full, how can I eat? Let's eat later."
"Okay, I don't want to move either. I haven't been this full in a long time. It's true that delicious food is different."
Tang Yue was about to reply to her mother-in-law when she heard the babies crying in the house. She knew they had woken up and hurried inside.
After returning to the house to change their diapers, they soon stopped crying, but their mouths kept moving, and you could tell they were hungry and wanted to eat.
They brought them warm goat milk from the kitchen, and each of them gave them a bottle, asking them to hold it and drink it.
I wonder if such young babies can drink fruit juice. There are so many fresh fruits in the space. If the babies can drink it, it would be great to squeeze it into juice for them to drink.
I don't have much experience, so I thought I'd better wait a month before drinking it. I think my spleen and stomach should be better by then.
After they have finished feeding, take the bottle away and put it aside. Don't let them suck an empty bottle, so that they don't get used to sucking.
I was sitting on the kang playing with my kids when I saw my mother-in-law come in. "Mom, what's going on?"
"Yueyue, there's a group of people outside. They said they came from Qing City to look for you. Do you recognize them?"
Mother Zhao said with a worried look on her face, "Actually there were too many people outside and there was no adult man at home. Seeing that they were easy to talk to, she dared to tell her daughter-in-law, otherwise she would not be willing to open the door for them."
As soon as Tang Yue heard it, she knew that it might be Brother Biao and his men. "Don't worry, Mom. This is someone I knew when I was in Qing City. They might have something to ask me. Don't be afraid if it's nothing."
"Is it someone from the black market? Why are we looking for you now that you've moved away? Is there anything wrong?"
