The Cheng family's relocation is a foregone conclusion.
Qiuju wanted to take everything away, but Cheng Jie refused. She was furious. Why didn’t he take this or that? What would we eat and drink when we got there?
Cheng Jie knew his uncle's abilities, and he would naturally make arrangements when he got there, so he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. When traveling long distances, one must travel light.
But I have to find a different way to support my family in the future, and I don’t know if it’s easy for teachers there to find jobs?
No matter what, no matter what he does, even if he carries heavy bags, he can always support his family of three.
In the end, Cheng Jie only took valuables from home, money, clothes, shoes, socks, etc., as well as a few of his own books.
You definitely can’t take away large pieces of furniture, and you can’t carry the food in the house either. You can only take enough dry food to eat on the road, and the rest must be disposed of before leaving.
Li Qingyun knew their difficulties and offered to buy the remaining food and two chickens in their home.
Qiuju sold the grain to Li Qingyun, and said she would keep the two chickens to send to her own parents, and a bag of white flour. She didn't know when she would be able to come back, so she would not be able to show her filial piety to the old couple.
Cheng Jie and his wife were also very honest. They sold the grain to Li Qingyun at a half-price discount, and also gave her the remaining radishes and cabbages in their cellar, as well as the sauerkraut they had pickled themselves.
I also want Li Qingyun to help take care of the house in the future, in case I come back to live here?
Li Qingyun was not short of food, but it was a good deal to get so much food for free at such a cheap price. Anyway, she had space to store it. After she joined the army, she would have no food. Now she could buy more food, so she prepared more, the more the better. You know, people in many places are still hungry.
All this was done quietly.
Early in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qingyun sent the two children to their grandparents' house to help look after them, and then she took the gifts and set off for Qingyue's home with Qinghuan and his wife.
Qing Huan originally didn't want Cheng Huaishan to come. After all, for this kind of thing, two women would be enough, and it would be weird to have only a man go.
But she left home too early in the morning, and Cheng Huaishan was worried about her traveling alone in the dark, so he insisted on seeing her off.
I can't refuse, I can only enjoy it.
As they were talking, they felt like they were walking very fast. After walking for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the village where Qingyue was getting married.
After asking the old lady on the road, the three of them walked towards Qingyue's house.
From a distance, I saw Yu Gui happily walking home with a fish in his hand.
"Yu Gui!" Li Qingyun called him, and he finally reacted and said happily: "Big sister, second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here."
It took him more than a minute to finish his sentence. Fortunately, they were all well-mannered and did not interrupt him.
People are in high spirits when they are happy. He was not as embarrassed as usual and warmly invited them to his home.
From his conversation, I learned that he had gone to the ice hole early in the morning to catch a fish and cooked it for Qingyue.
The two sisters thought that their younger sister had finally found her true love. It took courage to go out in such a cold day, let alone go fishing. His trouser legs were wet.
"Mom." Yu Gui called out to the woman who was washing diapers in the yard.
The old woman looked up and saw the guests. She quickly washed her hands and greeted them, "Are these Qingyue's two sisters? They are really rare guests. Come in and have a seat."
Yu Gui stayed with Cheng Huaishan in the main room, while Qingyun and Qinghuan followed the old woman to see the mother and baby.
The old woman smiled all the way and praised her grandson for being so cute.
She originally thought it was a girl and was quite disappointed, but she didn't expect that the baby would be a boy. When the midwife said it was a boy, she cried with joy. The Yu family finally had a successor.
Qingyue had heard the voices of her two sisters in the room a long time ago, but she was afraid to get up because of the wounds on her body.
"Qingyue, you've worked hard. Are you feeling well?" Li Qingyun looked her up and down. She looked rosy-cheeked and a little fatter than the last time they met.
"It was quite painful when I gave birth, but it felt much better after that. I finally understand how painful childbirth is. It's hard for you, sister, to give birth to two and feel the pain twice." Qingyue replied with a smile.
Qinghuan took the baby in her arms and teased it.
"He is so small, and his skin is so red." Qinghuan's heart was also overflowing with maternal love.
"It will grow white and tender in a few days. All babies are like this when they are born, and they look different every day." said the old woman.
Li Qingyun and Li Qinghuan took out the gifts they brought from the basket, placed them on the kang table, and explained each one to Qingyue and the old woman as if they were treasures.
"I made a red bellyband and a baby cap for the child to try out and see if they fit. Here's a bag of clothes that my second child wore in the first few months. They'll be useful when he's older. They were all made last year and I washed them clean.
This is for you, two pounds of red dates, two pounds of brown sugar, and five pounds of rice.
Auntie, please take these things and make her some brown sugar eggs or red date porridge every day during the confinement period. We, as her sisters, cannot be by her side all the time to take care of her, so we can only give some things to show our best intentions. I'll trouble you with the rest.
Oh, and here we have a pair of pig's feet. Stewed pig's feet with soybeans will help you produce milk."
"You are so kind. Why did you prepare so many things, both for children and adults? I was just worried that I couldn't find pig's trotters. Thank you so much." The old woman didn't expect that her daughter-in-law's two sisters would be so generous. This is no worse than her biological parents, right?
Every time she went there before, her elder sister never let her come back empty-handed, and she would always eat and take things.
Although I have severed ties with my maternal family, these two sisters are more like my maternal family than anyone else.
"This is for my elder sister. I haven't taken mine yet." Qinghuan started to take out her own gift.
"These are tiger-head hats and shoes I made for my nephew. They are thick and suitable for use when going out.
My husband is a hunter, and we have a lot of fur at home. I made a rabbit fur hat and hand scarf for you. I also happened to have two pig's feet, so I brought them here to help you increase your milk production."
The old woman touched the exquisite tiger-head hat and praised Qinghuan's craftsmanship.
Now that I have brought four pig's feet, I don't have to worry about my grandson having no milk to drink.
Qingyue felt the love of her sisters and couldn't control her tears. She didn't want to be so fragile, but for some reason, after giving birth, she suddenly felt like crying.
"Why are you crying? It's bad for your eyes. Stop crying."
"That's right, it's a good thing, why are you crying and making a fool of yourself for your two sisters?"
"I just can't control myself. Big sister and second sister, you are so kind. I really don't know what to say."
"Take good care of yourself, that's better than anything else."
"Aoao" the baby made a few kitten-like sounds.
Qingyue quickly wiped away her tears and began to take care of the baby.
