Chapter 185 The Letter is Slow

After feeding the three kids, Xia Juanjuan asked Xiaowen and others to help look after their brothers, and then she went to make dumplings with Lin Yuru.

While I was busy, a villager passed by and came in and said, "Mrs. Li, there is a package sent by Li Zhan at the commune. Go and get it."

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan agreed, washed her hands and went to the commune to get it.

Li Zhan sent two complete mink skins, both of which were tanned, a large bag of pine nuts, which were also roasted, a remittance slip and a letter.

The letter said that the last photo had been received. He also told Xia Juanjuan to remember to take a recent photo of her and send it to him when she took photos of the babies' 100-day-old photos.

Xia Juanjuan was so amused by this. It had only been two months since the last photo was taken. How could she have changed in that time? Why was she still taking photos?

However, Xia Juanjuan still kept this matter in mind.

Reading further down, it said that the mink fur I sent her this time was used to make her bed, which was very warm. The pine nuts were eaten as snacks.

The rest was just a brief mention that they were currently carrying out a mission in the northeast, but there was no mention of when they would be back.

Xia Juanjuan felt somewhat disappointed.

I didn't think so before, and I was secretly happy in my heart. Although I was forced to get married as soon as I traveled through time, fortunately my husband was a soldier away from home all year round, and he would only come back a few days a year, which would not affect her comfortable life with her back to the space.

Now that I have a child, I can't help but miss him. I don't have a phone or anything like that, so I rely on telegrams and letters to keep in touch. Sometimes we only send two letters every half a month, a month, or even two months.

No wonder people always write, "In the past, travel was long and correspondence was slow, so one could only love one person in a lifetime." With that speed of communication, isn't it enough to only love one person?

Xia Juanjuan sighed, folded the letter, and put it in her space. She touched the mink fur that had been sent to her, and it was so soft that it felt like it had been oiled, and it was extremely comfortable.

It was indeed a waste to use mink fur to make a bed, but Xia Juanjuan didn't dare to make it into a coat and wear it out as it was too ostentatious, so she just spread it on the small bed where Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao slept, which was just the right size.

The soft fur touching the white and tender skin of the cubs was obviously very comfortable. The three cubs rolled over and played more vigorously than before.

The three kids can’t sit up yet, but they’ve been working hard to learn how to roll over. When they can’t roll over, they’ll yell “Oh oh!” to attract the adults’ attention and ask them to help them.

At night, Xia Juanjuan found paper and pen and wrote a reply to Li Zhan.

The content was all about the parents' gossip, telling him that the three little ones had learned to roll over and were not making much noise, but they were three little foodies and needed to be fed several times a day.

Xiao Wuchun was about to go to school, and she had already made a schoolbag for her. But Beibei also asked for one, so she made one for her in advance so that she could use it next year.

He also told Li Zhan about Xia Fangfang's matter.

The Lantern Festival arrived soon, and Yan Haotian came as expected, bringing some candies and other things. He also brought a lantern for each of the little ones. Xiaowen's was a pony, Xiaowu's was a lamb, and Beibei's was a monkey, corresponding to their zodiac signs.

Lanterns are made of paper with a little kerosene and wick inside so they can be lit.

The three kids couldn't wait for it to get dark so they could go out and play with the lanterns.

The three little guys Yanyan, Yeye and Yaoyao stared at the lanterns in the hands of the little brothers and sisters, shouting "Hmm!" and "Oh!" one after another, and pointing with their little fingers, as if they wanted something.

Xia Juanjuan quickly asked Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei to hide the lantern. Otherwise, if it really fell into the hands of the triplets, even the best lantern would be broken immediately.

Fortunately, the triplets were very well behaved. They just cried twice when they didn't get the lantern. When Xia Juanjuan rocked them with the wave drum, their attention was diverted.

Yan Haotian laughed and said, "What a bad idea. If I had known, I would have bought them three more. It would have been fine if they broke them."

Xia Juanjuan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "It's not like it's free. I knew from the beginning that they would ruin it. Why waste money on it? I might as well buy more candy!"

After eating Yuanxiao in the evening, the adults watched the moon and chatted in the yard. Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei couldn't wait to go out with their lanterns to play with their friends.

When the children in the village saw the three exquisite lanterns, they were so envious that they almost cried. They lined up waiting, just hoping to hold the lanterns and walk around for a while to satisfy their enjoyment.

Xiaowen and his friends suddenly became the most handsome kids in the village!

After the Lantern Festival, Xia Juanjuan went to the county through space again and bought the house deed back with Aunt He.

This time, Aunt He's son and daughter-in-law also came along and wanted to bargain. Xia Juanjuan was not used to them, so she immediately said that she would have trouble explaining to her aunt and made a gesture to leave.

Aunt He's son and daughter-in-law hurriedly grabbed Xia Juanjuan and finally made the deal at 120 yuan, and also asked for the key.

In addition, Aunt He also talked to several other families and they were all willing, so she made another appointment with Xia Juanjuan to discuss it in person. Xia Juanjuan readily agreed.

In a few days, it will be the 100th day anniversary of the birth of the triplets, and they have to go to the county to take a 100-day portrait.

Xia Juanjuan borrowed an ox cart from the commune to go to the county.

It just so happened that Zhou Qiuhe saw that life had become easier over the past year, so she wanted to take some family photos with her family, just like Xia Juanjuan did.

Therefore, Li Jie, Zhou Qiuhe and their three children went to the county with Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru.

The hundred-day photo was taken of each of the triplets, and there was also a group photo of the three brothers. Finally, Xia Juanjuan took a photo of herself.

Then Zhou Qiuhe's family also took a family photo.

After the photo shoot, we all returned together without having dinner in the county.

On the way, I happened to meet Secretary Zhao who was returning from a meeting in the county, and we talked for a few words.

Li Jie saw that Secretary Zhao looked unhappy, so he couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Zhao, what's the matter?"

Secretary Zhao couldn't help but complain: "Alas... This is a matter of the county timber factory. It's really nonsense! In order to save the factory, we in the countryside will just ignore it? It's really infuriating..."
