Seeing this, Yu Yuehui had no choice but to give up. However, at least Xie Yan had eaten something, which made her feel a little more at ease.
Seeing that Xie Yan had lay down to rest again, she picked up the black bag Xie Yan had mentioned, gently opened it, and saw three neatly stacked bundles of cloth inside, two of which were pure cotton and one bundle was polyester.
Looking at the fabric, Yu Yuehui subconsciously assumed that Xie Yan had bought more fabric because they hadn't found a suitable house.
A pang of sadness welled up in her heart, and she quickly comforted her, "It's alright. After all, a house is a big deal, and you can't find a suitable one right away."
"Let's save up money this year, and next year the two of us will take Chaochao with us to go see the world. Who knows, we might meet the right person?"
"When we have more money, we can buy a bigger house."
Xie Yan's somewhat muddled mind went blank for a while before he realized what his wife was saying.
He quickly explained, "Honey, the house has been bought!"
Yu Yue's hand, which was holding the cloth, suddenly stopped. Her eyes widened as she looked at Xie Yan in disbelief, and she stammered, "Really, really bought it?"
I'm not trying to comfort her!
Xie Yan smiled and nodded vigorously, his eyes full of joy. "It's bought, and it's even bigger than the house we live in now. It's right next to Gu Bin's house, so you can play with Zhang Linghui then."
This sudden and enormous surprise left Yu Yuehui momentarily stunned.
She looked down at the cloth in her hand, still somewhat incredulous, and murmured, "Then...then where did you get the money to buy the cloth?"
She knew perfectly well that just the fact that the house was next to Gu Bin's and even bigger than his current one was enough to show that the house was definitely not cheap. Xie Yan probably didn't even have enough money with him, so how could he have the money to buy so many things?
Xie Yan looked at his wife, who was staring blankly, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek. He smiled and said, "These are all flawed fabrics with color bleeding that I bought. They didn't cost much."
As he spoke, he took out the other items and introduced them to Yu Yuehui one by one: "These two bolts of pure cotton cloth are for Mother, so she can make some clothes. This bolt of polyester is for my sister-in-law."
"This roast duck and two boxes of pastries are for my parents. Remember to tell them to eat them as soon as possible and not let them spoil." After saying that, he took out a bag of candy and said, "This is for Maodan. Remember to give it to him. I promised him when I left."
Yu Yuehui nodded gently, her eyes full of smiles. She hadn't expected to actually buy a house, especially one next to Gu Bin's.
Looking at the things Xie Yan bought, the smile in her eyes widened even more. "I know. If you're not feeling well, just rest and get some sleep. I'll be back soon."
Xie Yan nodded in response, a gentle smile on her face, "I also bought a lot of nice things for you and Chaochao. Remember to bring Chaochao over soon."
At this moment, Chaochao was unaware that her beloved father had returned. She was happily eating roasted potatoes with her grandmother, her mouth covered in black grease, looking like a little kitten.
Hearing footsteps outside, Chaochao looked up and saw her mother lift the curtain and walk in. Her big eyes instantly lit up like two little stars. She jumped up excitedly and pounced on Yu Yue like a happy little rabbit, shouting loudly, "Mommy, Mommy, is Daddy back!"
Yu Yue quickly and steadily caught her daughter who rushed towards her with one hand, her face beaming with a doting smile, and said gently, "Yes, your father is back."
Upon hearing that her father was back, Chaochao burst into a loud laugh, so excited that it was like a horn. The laugh was so sharp that Yu Yuehui quickly moved away from her, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You little rascal, your voice is so loud, you're going to deafen your mother!"
Chaochao bounced around, trying to break free from her mother's control and go home to find her father.
Yu Yue pinched her little bottom with one hand, "Sweetie, your dad must be asleep now. We'll go home together later."
Hearing that her father had fallen asleep, Chaochao stopped struggling and obediently let Yu Yue hold her.
Yu Yue handed the bag in her hand to Qian Hong, "Mom, these are things Xie Yan bought for you. He had a fever on the train and got carsick on the way back. He's still feeling dizzy, so he couldn't come."
Qian Hong took the bag, feeling its weight in her hand, and looked at her daughter reproachfully. She knew what Xie Yan was going back to do.
You bought so much stuff, does that mean you didn't manage to buy a house?
The thought that it was Beijing made me worry again that I hadn't received enough money!
As Qian Hong's own daughter, Yu Yuehui knew exactly what her mother was thinking just by looking at her expression, and said in a low voice, "It's all done."
Qian Hong's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Yu Yue nodded.
Liu Lanlan's eyes lit up when she saw the large bag of things, and her smile was as bright as a blooming flower that she couldn't stop. When she heard that Xie Yan had a cold, she asked with great concern, "Oh dear, is it serious? Have you taken any medicine?"
Yu Yue smiled and said, "I've already eaten, sister-in-law. Everyone's probably asleep now."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of Dacron fabric from her bag and handed it to Liu Lanlan, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift for you. Weren't you envious of Cherry's Dacron dress before?"
"I asked Xie Yan to keep an eye out over there and buy some if there was a chance, and I didn't expect him to actually buy some."
Liu Lanlan took it with delight, gently squeezing the fabric in her hand, feeling the delicate texture of the Dacron. Her voice trembled with excitement as she exclaimed, "This...this really is Dacron!"
Last time, Cherry wore a polyester dress, which made all the young women and wives in the village extremely envious. Of course, she was no exception. If her family hadn't run out of cloth coupons, she would have bought one long ago.
I never expected that my sister-in-law would remember something I just mentioned casually and even have her husband buy it.
She actually had a bolt of cloth; she could make several pretty little dresses with it.
Upon seeing that the fabric wasn't all the same color, Liu Lanlan instantly decided what kind of skirt to make.
Looking up at Yu Yuehui with a smile, she said, "This...this...I don't even know what to say." Her smile stretched almost to her ears, and she repeatedly said, "Oh dear, you could have just said a little bit, why did you buy so much!"
"How much money will this cost?!"
Yu Yue smiled and said considerately, "That way, you can have more dresses made to wear, sister-in-law!"
As she spoke, she took out a bag of candy from her bag and handed it to Mao Dan, who had been eagerly looking inside. "Here, your uncle-in-law promised you candy, and he bought it for you."
Mao Dan could hardly believe his eyes; his uncle had actually bought him a bag of candy.
He carefully took it with both hands, held it tightly in his arms, and was completely stunned, as if he were dreaming.
Upon seeing this, Liu Lanlan instinctively reached out to take it and put it away.
