"Zhaozhao, do you want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
When Sun Xiuhua came to find her, she saw her like this and knew that she was worried about Gu Yunduan.
Sun Xiuhua comforted her.
"We've been on missions before when it snowed, so don't worry, they'll be fine."
Ye Zhaozhao thought she couldn't be idle, so she followed Sun Xiuhua to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Seeing that the supply and marketing cooperative had fresh duck eggs, Ye Zhaozhao started to crave salted duck eggs.
Knowing that Ye Zhaozhao's salted duck eggs were delicious, Sun Xiuhua wanted her to help her make some.
Ye Zhaozhao immediately agreed, and the two of them bought all the salted duck eggs from the supply and marketing cooperative.
Then Ye Zhaozhao brought ten catties of vermicelli and five catties of kelp, and Sun Xiuhua bought some dried shrimp.
Although Tiezhu and Shazhu have grown quite a bit taller, they are too thin.
Sun Xiuhua wanted to nourish the two of them, and dried shrimp was very nutritious. When she saw that there were also apples, Ye Zhaozhao immediately became interested.
"Sister-in-law Sun, would you like to buy some apples?"
Thinking of her three children, Sun Xiuhua weighed out three jin (1.5 kg) from the salesperson.
Ye Zhaozhao ordered ten jin (5 kg) at once, intending to make dried apples.
Look how generous Ye Zhaozhao and Sun Xiuhua are with money, even though this is a military region.
But military wives are also very frugal; they didn't buy things like the two of them, she whispered to them.
"We still have a bag of pears in our warehouse, but we haven't officially started selling them yet. Do you want them?"
Sun Xiuhua shook her head. Her children didn't like pears; they weren't as sweet as apples.
Ye Zhaozhao thought that this weather was like a natural refrigerator.
I hid the pears in the snow to make frozen pears, and went to the warehouse with the salesperson to get ten pounds.
Ye Zhaozhao bought too many things, but luckily she brought a basket with her when she came.
Sun Xiuhua didn't buy as much as her, so she helped her carry some. On their way back, they ran into Zhu Cui carrying her daughter.
Sun Xiuhua hurriedly called out to her.
"Zhu Cui, in this weather, are you still going out?"
Zhu Cui sighed. She didn't want to go out either, but her sister-in-law had gone out early in the morning.
She hasn't come back yet, and her mother-in-law told her to go out and check.
Zhu Cui thought that since this was in the military region, she would be implicated if something happened to her sister-in-law, which was why she came out.
Ye Zhaozhao felt that Zhu Cui's sister-in-law was exactly like her mother-in-law.
Neither of them are good things, Ye Zhaozhao suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but remind Zhu Cui.
Does your mother-in-law often live alone?
Zhu Cui was puzzled, but nodded. Her mother-in-law was always home alone when she was at work.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and the men in the family aren't home.
Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both lazy, so the cleaning duties fell to her.
So the old woman was alone at home. Hearing this, Sun Xiuhua realized something.
"Zhaozhao, could this old woman be plotting to steal something?"
Ye Zhaozhao felt that things weren't that simple, and Zhu Cui, upon hearing their conversation, forgot all about going to find her sister-in-law.
He said something and quickly ran home.
Sure enough, when they got home, they saw the old woman rummaging through her trunk.
Seeing that Zhu Cui had returned, he pretended that nothing had happened and went back to the living room.
Zhu Cui thought to herself, "Luckily, I put the money away when I knew they were coming."
The old woman, unwilling to give up after not finding anything, told Zhu Cui.
"I see there's a piece of cured meat in the kitchen. Let's eat it tonight."
The old woman had brought out almost everything in the house to eat, and Zhu Cui was disgusted by her gluttonous appearance.
With a cold face and no words, the old woman asked her again when her eldest daughter would be back. Zhu Cui simply took the child and went back into the house.
After Ye Zhaozhao got home, she started pickling duck eggs and put a few pears in the snow outside. Just then, the postman arrived.
"Sister-in-law, here is your letter."
Ye Zhaozhao took the letter and saw that it was for Lin Yanke and written by Gu Linyuan. Lin Yanke was overjoyed after reading the letter.
"Mom, is there some good news?"
"Zhaozhao, your dad said Zhu Lin is pregnant."
Zhu Lin is pregnant with her second child, which is indeed a joyous occasion. Ye Zhaozhao thought that since her child was on vacation, there wasn't much to do.
I told Lin Yanke to go home for the New Year.
"Zhaozhao, aren't you and Yunduan coming back for Chinese New Year this year?"
"Mom, let's stay in the military region for the New Year and come back after the holiday."
Lin Yanke thought about it and agreed. It's the Lunar New Year, and the whole family, including the children, should be together.
Stop making a fuss and just think about going back home once the snow stops.
Lin Yanke went to pack her things, and Ye Zhaozhao gave Lin Yanke several jars of the pickled cabbage she had made earlier, so they could share them when they got back.
On the day Lin Yanke left, Sun Xiuhua brought over the clothes she had made, and Ye Zhaozhao told her to take them back.
These clothes were for her, Gu Linyuan, and the old man.
Sun Xiuhua was skillful and made beautiful clothes. Lin Yan accepted the gift because she thought it was a token of her daughter-in-law's affection.
Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan also gave Gu Jing Zhou a gift, which was a book they liked.
With Gu Yunduan not around, Ye Zhaozhao had to contact the logistics department and borrow an oxcart to get Lin Yanke onto it.
The children hugged Lin Yanke, clearly reluctant to part with her.
"Grandma will come after the New Year. Be good and listen to your mother."
The children were very sensible; they knew that Grandma would be back after the New Year, and they immediately stopped crying.
After seeing Lin Yanke off, Ye Zhaozhao returned by oxcart.
On the way, the man offered two handfuls of candy to the passenger rushing to catch the train, but said he couldn't accept it.
Otherwise, Director Jiang would fire him; the man is a veteran.
He was discharged due to injury, and he was very grateful that the army allowed him to work in the logistics department.
Ye Zhaozhao told him to accept it, since she had made him make this trip in the freezing cold.
