Chapter 127 Resuming Classes
At the end of June, Su's mother took a two-month leave. Her third daughter-in-law was pregnant, her parents were not around, and her son was at work. How could she survive without anyone to take care of her during the confinement period?
The baby will be born soon, just a few days away.
So Su's mother took a bunch of things and boarded the train to the capital. If it was winter, she could bring some meat, but now it was summer and she couldn't bring meat. She could only bring other nutritional products, such as milk powder, maltose, and butter.
Having many brothers and sisters does have its advantages. When one is in trouble, everyone will come to its aid. When the third brother's wife knew that she was about to give birth, the eldest brother and his wife sent her a lot of coupons, including food coupons, meat coupons, milk powder coupons and other coupons.
My second brother and his wife also took tickets and money.
Su He and Gu Jianhua wanted to send some meat by mail, but because it was summer, they couldn't do it, so they sent 50 kilograms of fine grains and 100 yuan in cash.
Her third sister-in-law should be able to have a good confinement period.
At the end of July, her third brother wrote to her saying that his third sister-in-law had given birth to a boy named Su Chengyao.
Su He showed the letter to Feng's father and mother. They both felt very upset. Su He said, "Uncle and aunt, the child has grown up. My third brother and his wife will definitely come back to visit. Then you will be able to see your precious grandson."
Father Feng patted Mother Feng on the shoulder and said, "Xiao He is right. We will be able to see the child when he grows up."
"Compared to others, we are still lucky. Let's think positively."
Mother Feng wiped her tears and responded.
At the end of August, Su's mother came back, so I took a two-month leave. The time was up.
"Your sister-in-law quit her job and stayed at home to take care of the children. Otherwise, there is no other way."
"If they were in the county, your father and I could help take care of the child. But they are in the capital, so how can we take care of the child?"
Su's mother said, "Give them more stamps and money when the time comes."
There is no other way except postage and postal supplies.
Su He felt that among the four children, she and her third brother had the most miserable lives. In the book, she and Gu Jianhua died, leaving behind two children, and their lives changed.
As for her third brother and his wife, they have to do everything by themselves because of their father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Her eldest brother and his wife, as well as her second brother and his wife, all have their parents help take care of the children, so they can work with peace of mind.
But generally speaking, reality is different from what is described in the book. Her second brother was not plotted against by Xu Honglian, and now he and her second sister-in-law are in love and have a lovely daughter.
Her elder brother and sister-in-law would be fine in the future if it weren't for that incident with her young lady.
Her third brother and his wife are a little sad now, but with the help of brothers and sisters, they will definitely live better than in the books.
She and Gu Jianhua are not dead, they are living well and will continue to live well in the future.
Be the strongest support for their children.
That's it.
Su He said to his mother, "We'll send some meat by mail in winter."
Gu's mother also said that it was difficult to mail in the summer, so she would kill a few old hens in the winter and mail them.
"Is there any notice from the school?" asked Su's mother.
Su He shook his head and said, "I didn't say that."
Su's mother said, "I don't know what happened. The school was suspended. It's not war time."
Su He: "Because many teachers are affected. Without teachers, there will be no one to teach."
"That's a big city. Why should our county be affected by it?"
Su He thought so too. The principal and teachers of their school were all fine. She even saw their principal on the street the day before yesterday.
She felt that their school would resume classes soon.
Hopefully, as she wishes, their school can resume classes in October.
Time passed by, and soon it was October, and Su He finally got to resume classes as he wished.
"Teacher Su, you don't know how hard it has been for us this year. We've really been living a life of frugality!" Teacher Lin complained.
Su He, "It's good to go to class now. I'll get paid."
Teacher Lin, "I hope you won't stop."
Fortunately, the couple had some savings, otherwise they would hardly be able to afford food this year.
I don’t know about other places, but their school has resumed classes.
However, when Su He was in class, he found that many students were absent, nearly half of the students.
I guess my parents don't let me read it anymore...
When Su He goes to work, she doesn't have to go out to take care of her mother, and she can stay at home to take care of the children and cook.
Well, compared to working in the fields, taking care of children is easier. After resting for a few years, Gu's mother doesn't want to work in the fields anymore.
Working in the fields is too tiring under the scorching sun, but at least when I take care of the children at home I don’t have to be exposed to the sun.
The working hours passed quickly and happily, and in the blink of an eye it was December and winter had arrived.
Mr. and Mrs. Feng killed five chickens and prepared some beans, cucumbers, eggplants, dried mushrooms, and dried fish that had been dried in the summer, and asked Su He to mail them over.
They were not around when their daughter was pregnant, had a baby and was in confinement, so they could not take care of her. It was only in winter that they were finally able to send things to her.
They are in high spirits now. It doesn't matter if their daughter and grandchildren can't see them. They will raise more chickens here, and then when winter comes, they will slaughter the chickens and mail them over.
How pitiful the love of parents all over the world is.
Su He told Feng's father and mother, "My mother-in-law has also prepared a few old hens, and my parents even mailed half a sheep over a few days ago."
"Third brother and third sister-in-law will have no shortage of meat to eat this winter."
Su Che and Feng Shuning did not lack meat this winter. Su's father and mother sent half a sheep, Gu's mother had three old hens, and Feng's father and mother had five chickens.
Su He secretly mailed 20 kilograms of beef ribs.
And grains and dairy products.
Su Che and Feng Shuning were stunned when they received the goods. It was too much.
"Our family is all well." Feng Shuning sighed while holding the baby.
Su Che was reading a letter. After he finished reading it, he said to Feng Shuning, "Wife, some of these chickens were raised by my parents."
"Really? Let me see." Feng Shuning took the letter.
Su Che sorted out the chickens and said, "These five were raised by my parents. These dried vegetables and fish were also prepared by my parents."
"They all raise chickens and grow vegetables." Feng Shuning wiped her tears and continued reading the letter.
"They said they would raise more next year, and then kill them in the winter and mail them to us."
Su Che, "Next year during the Chinese New Year, if possible, we can go home to celebrate the New Year. By then, our son will be grown up."
"good."
Feng Shuning wiped her tears and said, "Cut some of the mutton and send it to your leader. Also take an old hen with you."
The reason her parents were able to be successfully transferred to Xiangyang Village, Meng Province was largely due to Su Che's leadership.
They should thank the person for doing them such a big favor.
"Take some milk tofu and milk skin with you as well."
Su Che nodded and asked, "Give me the leg of lamb, my wife. It will look good with it."
"Okay, you decide."
So Su Che took a leg of lamb, an old hen, some dried goods such as dried beans and mushrooms, as well as a piece of milk tofu and a piece of milk skin and went to his leader's house.
He asked, "You took so much, did you keep any at home?"
Su Che, "I left it. My family mailed a lot of them."
"Uncle Xu, the mutton here doesn't smell stinky. I cut some for you. When you stew it, just add salt and nothing else. It doesn't smell stinky at all and tastes delicious."
"Really? I haven't tasted the mutton from Meng Province yet." The leader laughed.
Su Che, "Let my aunt stew it for you tonight. Try it. I guarantee you'll like it."
"Okay, okay."
The leader likes Su Che very much. He has no daughter, and if he had a daughter, he would definitely choose him as his son-in-law.
