Chapter 95 Returning to Hometown Again
The older of the two boys said, "Auntie, forget it. We don't want any more. We don't have much anyway!"
Su He then let the woman go and took the two children to the guesthouse.
Damao only had one cotton-padded jacket, and the rest of his clothes were overalls and autumn clothes, so the two children could only wear their own clothes for now.
Teacher Wu hadn't slept yet. Seeing the two children with runny noses, she quickly asked them to go to bed: "This kind of weather is really unlucky! Children, don't be polite, hurry up and get in bed, cover yourself with the quilt, and warm up!"
Su He asked the two children if they had eaten anything in the evening. The two children looked at each other but said nothing!
That's being hungry!
Mrs. Yuan shook her head!
Su He held up the thermos: "There's still some hot water here. I'll make you some malted milk! Eat two biscuits. Don't go to bed hungry."
The two children eat in a very polite manner. Even though they are very hungry, their movements are still polite. Look!
Su He held the thermos and said to the two elders, "I'll go downstairs to get some hot water!", then walked out.
She actually wanted to go out and try her luck. It was so late, and she wondered if there was any food available in the state-owned restaurants outside!
Night Shanghai is indeed not Night Shanghai. Even in this day and age, there are still shops open. She bought some hot soup and hot rice and took them back to the guesthouse.
Seeing that she hadn't come for so long, Teacher Wu was already a little anxious. Seeing her finally come, she wanted to say a few words, but she was afraid that the two children would overhear and get suspicious, so she said, "Why didn't you let Guifang go with you? It's so late at night!"
Su He: "I went downstairs to get some hot water. I asked the front desk lady on a whim, and she said there were restaurants open here, so I just left! Come on, kids! I don't even know your names, so come and eat while it's hot!"
The two children hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down and ate obediently.
Looking at the clothes on the two children, Mrs. Yuan said, "I have some cloth coupons and some money. Xiao Su, I'll go with you to the shopping mall here tomorrow."
Su He thought to herself that she was going to cheat using the system mall, but if Mrs. Yuan followed her, how could she cheat? So she said, "There are five children now. Mrs. Yuan is still in the guesthouse. Please help my mother look after them. I came here for medical treatment last time, so I am familiar with this place. I'll go quickly."
Mrs. Yuan: "Here are some cloth coupons and twenty yuan. Take them first!"
Su He was not polite either. If she didn't take it, Mrs. Yuan would be worried!
Before going to bed at night, Su He would go to the shopping mall and find a few cotton-padded jackets, which were unique to that era.
She originally thought of buying one for each of her three children, but then she realized that the price was too high and decided to go to the shopping mall the next day to check the prices.
The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, she went to the shopping mall and found a similar style of cotton-padded jacket for sale.
A cotton jacket alone was not enough, so she bought two pairs of cotton trousers for the two children. Unfortunately, there were no ready-made trousers, and wearing cotton trousers directly would get dirty too easily.
Su He asked the price, used cloth coupons to buy a piece of cloth at the supermarket, and made a pair of pants for each of her two children.
After buying it, she went to the system mall and bought another larger piece of cloth based on the same material, enough to make two tops.
After buying clothes and other things, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative next to the guesthouse, bought two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy and some snacks, and then went to the guesthouse.
When Sister Yuan saw the cotton-padded jacket and trousers she had bought, she hurriedly said, "Look at this cotton-padded jacket! It's not cheap, is it?"
Su He: "Yeah, it's newly released, and the two kids are wearing so little!"
She took out the White Rabbit candies she had bought and gave two pieces to each of the children. Su He looked at Mrs. Yuan, then at the two children, and asked, "Mrs. Yuan, what are these two children's names? Can you tell me?"
Mrs. Yuan thought for a moment and said, "No matter what you were called before, we'll call you Dali and Erli. Your humble name is Tuyang! Just say that when someone asks! Got it?"
The two children looked at Mrs. Yuan and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Yuan touched the two children's heads and said, "Da Li and Er Li, this is also for you! Do you understand?"
There were two other families living in the Jin family compound, so Su He suggested, "Mom, Master's wife, why don't you just go to my parents' house? That way, you won't get gossiped about. In the city, there are so many families living in one compound, and it's inconvenient because there are too many people and too many eyes."
Teacher Wu and Mrs. Yuan both agreed. Mrs. Yuan said, "Okay, then, Xiao Su, I won't be polite to you anymore. I'm sorry to bother your parents!"
After everyone had lunch, Su He went out to buy some food for the journey and some things for the old Su family. He also found a public phone and called the commune, asking them to convey Su Yi's message that he and the children would stay in his hometown for a few days and would pick them up at Liancheng Railway Station the next day.
This time I took an overnight train. I slept all night and arrived at my hometown in Liancheng early the next morning.
When we arrived in Liancheng, we just got off the train and reached the exit, and we saw Su Xiaodi and Su Hong looking around at the pick-up place!
Su Hong first saw a group of children, and then saw her sister Su He. She hurried forward and said, "Sister, let's go over here. Come here, Xiaobao, let Second Aunt hold him!"
