Chapter 18: Greetings from the Brothers

Work hard. Why are you so lazy? You haven’t redeemed the amulets, pregnancy-preserving pills, and fortifying pills yet!

So, in the afternoon, Su He went to work again with high spirits. Su's father told his daughter, "Come over after get off work."

"I know, Dad."

I guess I'm going to give her something again.

I don’t know about the future, but for now, it seems that her husband’s family and her own family get along well. From the books, it seems that her husband’s family and her own family get along well too.

Her parents often give gifts to their daughter, and her parents-in-law often give gifts to their daughter-in-law.

fine.

The afternoon is busy as usual because there are exams coming up. As a teacher with not many classes, you have to help print the papers while other teachers are teaching. Su He is that teacher with not many classes.

I spent the whole afternoon reviewing papers.

There is not a minute to spare.

After get off work, Su He went home, and his father took out two large sticks of meat-on-bone pork and said, "Go home and stew them."

Su He was not polite, "Thank you, Dad."

"Take this dried noodles back with you, too. Your third brother heard that you were pregnant and mailed them to you. You can't buy this dried noodles anywhere else, only in Beijing."

"Also, there are these maltose, milk powder, and White Rabbit candy. Your eldest brother sent them to you from the army. Take them back and eat them."

Father Su took out a lot of things from the cabinet while muttering.

There were too many things, and Su He didn't have enough hands to hold them all. Seeing this, Su's father said, "Okay, I'll find a cloth bag and put them all in."

Su He followed behind Su's father and said, "Dad, you guys are not going to leave any for me?"

"Your eldest brother and third brother sent this to you after hearing that you were pregnant. It's for nutritional supplements. You've been in poor health since childhood, so you need to eat more nutritious food during pregnancy."

"What do normal people like us eat? Besides, we only eat meat twice a month at home, and eggs every day. Whose family eats like this?" Father Su muttered.

Su He smiled and said, "Our family has good food."

Su He came out carrying a big bag of things. Her third brother had mailed her five packets of noodles. She kept one packet at home and wanted to keep two packets, but her father would not let her and told her to take them back to eat.

My eldest brother mailed me two barrels of maltose, two packets of milk powder, two packets of toffee, and some biscuits.

Let's not talk about malted milk powder, why did her elder brother mail milk candy? He treated her like a child, she is about to become a mother.

I don’t know if her elder brother will be able to come back this winter. He didn’t even come back for her wedding this year. To be exact, her elder brother hasn’t come back for four years.

Su He carried a big bag of things to the carriage parking area. Master Li was already waiting there. Master Li's carriage ran to the county twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Su He goes to work in the morning and gets off work in the afternoon, so he just catches up.

In addition to Su He, there were two aunts in Master Li's carriage. One was from the second team, whom Su He knew. One was Gu's second sister's sister-in-law Ge Cuilan, and the other was also from the second team. She was Li Yinhua, the younger sister of Gu Jianhua's eldest cousin and Gu Tiezhu's wife Li Jinhua.

These two people get along well.

She had not been in Xiangyang Brigade for long and did not know all the villagers. She could only say that she was familiar with their faces, but she knew these two people very well.

Who made them the enemies of Second Sister Gu? Whenever Second Sister Gu returns to her parents' home, she either complains about her mother-in-law or these two people.

She is familiar with them all.

Because they gave birth to a son, the two of them secretly made fun of their second sister Gu, who had given birth to three daughters, and said that the baby in her belly was also a daughter and she would have to give birth to more in the future.

Gu Erjie was so angry that she came back to her parents' home to complain.

According to Gu's mother, these two people are gossips in the village who always bring up other people's affairs over and over again.

They just said it, and they also processed it. For example, if a couple had a quarrel, they would say that the man hit the woman. Why? Because the woman was flirting with Mr. Zhang next door.

White can be said to be black!

It makes no sense.

Even more annoying than Wu Sanfeng!

Gu's mother told her not to pay too much attention to these two people when she saw them.

So Su He just nodded to them as a greeting. After all, they were in the same village, and it would not be nice to keep a cold face and say nothing.

Ge Cuilan and Li Yinhua were both somewhat of a smiling tiger. When they saw Su He coming over, they offered their seats to him and said enthusiastically, "Teacher Su, the class is over. Teacher Su, please sit here. It's safe and secure."

"Thank you. I'll just sit here."

Su He found a seat for himself.

"Walking."

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Mr. Li got in the car and turned back.

Ge Cuilan and Li Yinhua both like to get close to Su He. In this era, not only the elders but also the younger generation like people who have jobs in the city. They feel that these workers are coated with a layer of gilded gold, different from them, the peasants.

Not to mention city dwellers like Su He who were born and raised in the city are extremely rare.

I feel like she is good in every way and looks good in every way.

Li Yinhua spoke first. She pointed at the headband on Su He's head and said, "Teacher Su, did you buy this headband at the supply and marketing cooperative? It's really beautiful."

To be honest, Li Yinhua truly felt that the girls raised in the city were different from those raised in their village. They had different temperaments. Her sister's sister-in-law thought she was the most beautiful in the village, but compared to Su He, she was inferior in seconds.

"No, my third brother brought it to me from Beijing." Su He told the truth.

Last year during the Chinese New Year, when her third brother came back from vacation, he brought her a lot of hairpins, headbands and other little gadgets.

"I brought it from Beijing. Oh, I thought it was so beautiful. It turns out it's from a big city." Li Yinhua covered her mouth in surprise.

Su He thought it was an exaggeration. Wasn't it just an ordinary headband? She remembered seeing something similar at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Ge Cuilan also asked, "Teacher Su, are these little leather shoes of yours also from Beijing?"

Su He, "No, I bought it at our supply and marketing cooperative."

Gu Jianhua bought it for her when she got married.

Ge Cuilan cried out, "It feels like the clothes, shoes, and hairpins you're wearing are made of different materials than what we wear. They look especially good on you."

Su He: "Maybe it's because I always iron my clothes before I wear them."

For summer clothes, wash them every time you wear them, iron them for the next day and apply oil on your leather shoes before going to bed at night.

As for her appearance, she likes to be clean and tidy. She brushes her teeth every day, washes her neck and behind her ears to avoid dirt, and applies a little hair oil to her hair to avoid making it rough.

The eyebrows need to be trimmed, and the area near the root of the eyelashes can be lightly drawn with an eyebrow pencil. This will make the eyes look better. Apply some vanishing cream and powder on the face, and your face will be white and tender.

Su He likes to dress herself neatly, nicely and comfortably within her ability, unlike some of her colleagues who only wash their hair once every half a month in winter or summer.

My hair smells and I have lice.

"Tsk tsk, the people in this city are really different, they are particular!" Ge Cuilan laughed when she heard it.

Suho is quite annoyed by this statement. Everything has to be related to the city and the countryside. Isn't this just a question of cleanliness or uncleanliness?
