When I got home, I went to pick up Zhu Zi from his mother's house. This time, I gave my second sister-in-law two catties of brown sugar. She was pregnant, and brown sugar was a good thing for her these days.
Every time they come to pick up the child, they bring him things. These two sisters-in-law wish Zhuzi would come every day.
The two of them stayed home counting their money, and were overjoyed to see how much they had. "Honey, let's not go to the city yet. Let's wait until next winter."
The two of them calculated that they now had 85,010 yuan and 80 liquor vouchers, which made them feel very secure.
The two of them were quite certain that, apart from things like red beans, they wouldn't produce any other grains or other goods; they would only be able to sell mountain products.
After all, the child is growing up and we need to start planning. It's not like we can eat whatever we want anymore.
"Oh, I feel so good now, haha, I'm a little money-grubber."
"I can see that, wife. This time, when we have time, we'll cook to prepare for the future. When we have time, we'll go up the mountain. The most important thing is to keep these little rascals in check."
"Go get your sister something to eat tomorrow. If she's still not feeling well, take her to the hospital. Why haven't we heard anything from her?"
"Okay, I'm worried about her too. I hope she doesn't get bullied again."
"I'll take some of this cotton to make a little cotton-padded jacket for the child. He's growing so fast! It feels like he's gotten so much taller without me noticing. I'll have to make it bigger next time."
"Okay, wrap it up with the rags from outside, that's perfect, problem solved."
"Let's celebrate today! We've achieved 85% of our goal. Once it opens up, we'll buy houses for our sons. Keep it up!"
"Keep it up, honey. Life is getting better and better. Let's get some more jewelry for our daughter, and invest as much as we can. This is our family's mission."
The two of them were happy all night about their future together.
"Beauty, is the great nation at home?"
"Hey bro, what brings you here? The snow outside is so heavy, is something urgent?"
"I came to see you two. Meili was happy to see her brother when she came in. Brother, have lunch here today."
"I've come to see you two and brought you 3 chickens, 4 rabbits, 20 eggs, 2 brown sugars, and 10 jin of sweet potatoes."
"Your sister-in-law and I brought a lot of things last time, so we came to see you."
"Brother, you have too much stuff. I haven't paid you back the 100 yuan you gave us last time."
"What do you mean by 'repay'? As long as you two are doing well, that's all that matters. Look at you, you look much better than before."
"Brother, I was planning to tell you something in the spring. I'm pregnant, three months along."
"This is a big deal. Your mother is worried too. That's why she asked me to come and ask you. You should eat more nutritious food while you're pregnant. I'll bring you some good things when I see them on the mountain."
“Brother, you have three children at home, and it’s already difficult enough for your wife to take care of them all by herself. I can take care of myself, so you don’t need to send me anything.”
"Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Meili."
"Alright, I see you're both doing well, so I'll head back now to tell my mother and your sister-in-law the good news."
"Keep this for dinner, I'm going to stew chicken today."
"Your sister-in-law is too busy taking care of those three rascals at home. You should stay home and rest during your pregnancy. I'll come to see you later."
"Don't bother delivering it, it's too slippery outside."
Meili watched her brother leave, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her brother was always thinking of her, sending her so many good things. Everyone knew how hard it was to catch these things.
"Meili, don't cry. Let's pack these things away properly so no one sees them. There are too many."
"If there's a chance in the future, and things get better, I'll properly thank my brother and parents."
