After finally returning home, Song Shuxi collapsed on the sofa as soon as she entered the door.
Every part of my body was filled with fatigue, but deep down I was filled with joy at the new experience and the achievements I had made.
After telling the children to take care of themselves, Song Shuqian went to take a shower.
Only when she soaked in the hot water did she feel alive again.
Add a drop of spiritual liquid and let it nourish the body.
My thoughts gradually drifted away, and I felt dizzy and about to fall asleep.
Keeping the last bit of clarity, I tidied myself, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
Wei Jianguo came back and didn't see his wife, so he asked, "Where's your mother?"
"I went back to my room and fell asleep. Mom went to the city to buy some things today and came back very tired."
Wei Jianguo returned to the room and saw his wife sleeping soundly. He quietly went to the bathroom and helped her wash the clothes she had just changed.
I didn't ask her to get up for dinner at night, and let her have a good rest.
In the early morning, Song Shuxi woke up because of hunger.
I was too lazy to cook, so I took out some pastries from the magic gourd and prepared to eat them casually.
"Why are you eating this? Come downstairs and I'll make you some wontons."
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Suddenly there was a sound and Song Shuqian was startled.
"You scared me to death. Why are you awake? Go to sleep a little longer. There's something ready in the magic gourd. I'll go to the dressing table to eat."
Seeing that she really had food to eat, Wei Jianguo fell asleep again.
It was too early to go to bed, and Song Shuxi really couldn't fall asleep. She lay there boredly recalling the days over the years, and sorting out the things in the magic gourd.
Looking at the notebook in my hand, which records all the questions An An Lele asked when he was a child. Song Shuqian remembered her previous plan to publish a question-and-answer book suitable for children.
The next day, Song Shuxi called several children together and showed them the book.
"Mom needs your help..."
After explaining the situation clearly, Song Shuxi waited for the children to ask questions.
An Anlele looked at the questions inside, and the memories they had forgotten gradually became clear.
The two were particularly interested, "Mom, what do you need us to do?"
"The language of this book should be lively, concise and easy to understand. We should also draw the illustrations together. They should be colorful and full of childlike fun."
The mother and her sons began to divide the work.
Even Yueyue and Yangyang were assigned tasks.
In the following days, Song Shuxi didn't need to supervise the children's studies as they were all very self-disciplined.
I worked very hard to compile this book.
Now that she has something to do, Song Shuqian's life has become more colorful.
They actually found out about the big market we talked about last time.
Song Shuxi and Tiantian took An An Lele and Sihu and set off there early in the morning.
After not riding a bicycle for a few years, Song Shuxi felt that she could no longer ride one. After twisting and turning for a few times, I gradually became familiar with it.
"I never thought that this bicycle would belong to me one day."
She has already given the bicycle to An An Lele.
I don’t know what touched Tiantian’s funny bone, but she laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten her back.
It took the group 70 minutes to ride to the market.
I put the bike at the door where I could see it. "How much?"
"Five cents a car."
Song Shuqian gave twenty-five cents.
Five people, each carrying a large backpack, walked inside.
"There are quite a lot of things here."
"Of course not, this is the biggest market around here."
Next, they started shopping. They bought two carps because they thought the fish were good, three crucian carps because they were rare, and took shrimps and crabs home because the children loved to eat them.
It is difficult to buy live chickens and ducks, so act decisively.
All kinds of dried goods and cured meats are available.
He looked like he hadn't seen anything in years.
In fact, the supply and marketing cooperative in the staff quarters has a very comprehensive range of products, and it is very convenient for them to buy vegetables and meat.
But over the years, Song Shuxi and her family have gotten used to stockpiling a lot of things in their yard in the winter, so when they come here, they can only buy enough for two days at most.
They are not used to it.
Looking at the New Year paintings and couplets on the table, Song Shuqian sighed, "This aesthetic has improved a lot. Look at that chubby baby, it's very cute."
However, it was still a little worse than what Song Shuxi wrote, as she only bought red paper.
What surprised Song Shuqian was that there were daily necessities such as porcelain bowls, ceramic basins, and water jars here. This is not something that a country person can make by themselves.
The guy selling the items seemed to know their doubts, "We have this craft in our village, and we have a ceramic factory. These are all produced in our factory."
The young man was very proud when he said this.
Song Shuqian gave a thumbs up and said, "Your village is amazing. This is the first time I've seen a factory run by a village. Was this also approved by the higher authorities?"
"Yes, it was approved by the county. With our factory, people around here come to us to buy ceramics."
Song Shuqian took a look and found the craftsmanship was pretty good, all of them were coarse pottery.
It has a unique flavor when used to store things.
“Does this require a ticket?”
"No ticket required."
When they heard that they didn’t need tickets, Song Shuxi and Tiantian decisively bought a few large bowls and plates.
When I get home and put the fruits together, it will definitely look nice.
"Are there any vases?"
"Farmers don't need that stuff, so we didn't make it. Do you think this will work?"
Song Shuxi fell silent as she looked at the large water cup in her hand.
She was very curious, who needs a one-liter cup to drink water?
Although I thought so, I didn't slow down in my work. This is very suitable for decorating flowers.
An An Le Le and Si Hu are both very good brothers. When I saw someone selling spinning tops, shuttlecocks and sandbags, I bought them for my younger brothers and sisters without thinking.
Ignoring the three children, Song Shuxi and Tiantian were attracted by a stall selling insoles.
His insoles are particularly nice, with patterns embroidered on them such as a tiger descending the mountain, stepping on villains, good luck, and intertwined flowers. The embroidery work is very ordinary, but the most precious thing is the thoughtfulness.
Song Shuqian is proficient in embroidery, but she can only embroider some patterns on clothes.
She waved her hand and gave two pairs to each of the children who were still growing, and five pairs to each of Wei Jianguo and herself. She also asked for one for stepping on the figurine, which was appropriate.
The stall owner, a bit introverted, mustered up the courage to say, "Not that many."
"Well, I'll give you the deposit first, and you can go back and work on it slowly. When you're done, send it to me and I'll pay for it."
The stall owner was relieved when she heard that she didn't have to pay for postage.
Song Shuxi gave her An An Lele's address at the Children's Palace and asked them to take it back.
This time when visiting the market, Song Shuxi and Tiantian found the feeling of shopping as before and didn't feel tired at all.
An'an, Lele and Sihu, three energetic children, now look listless, carrying heavy backpacks.
Sihu said pitifully, "Mom, do you still remember that you were reluctant to let me take anything? I'm so tired."
Tiantian snorted coldly and mercilessly, "When we were little you called me mom so sweetly and adorably, but now you only make me angry."
The four tigers can all foresee their own future.
Fortunately, An An Le Le is with me, otherwise I would have suspected that I was adopted. Now I feel more balanced.
Song Shuqian and Tiantian saw it all, and although they didn't show it on their faces, they were actually very happy in their hearts.
Children are really fun to tease.
