Chapter 97 Preparing to Go Home
"Sister-in-law, you are right! Our Gu family will definitely live better and better in the future. We will have full warehouses of food and countless clothes."
"Speaking of which, Third Sister-in-law, it just so happens that I need your help with something else. My sister in Yue City is getting married, and she should have a baby soon. Please help me make some clothes for the newborn baby. And make a swaddle, too."
"After it's done, I'll give you the money together!"
Lin Yunchu said to Gu Qiuhong in the room.
When Gu Qiuhong heard this, she immediately responded, "Okay, OK! Just give me the fabric. The clothes for the children must be made of pure cotton."
"How about Third Sister-in-law, can you help me buy some pure cotton fabric? You're more familiar with it!"
Gu Qiuhong was extremely happy.
She just wanted to go to town.
She had never had any spare money before, so after Lin Yunchu paid the labor fee, she planned to buy some things to take back to her parents' home.
Her mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow. She has something in her hands, so she will feel confident and proud when visiting her mother's house.
"Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go get busy first!"
Lin Yunchu left with a smile.
"..." Luo Feifei finally realized that whenever she spoke, Lin Yunchu would deliberately make her angry.
"Third sister-in-law, there is something I think we should talk about."
Luo Feifei called out to Gu Qiuhong.
Gu Qiuhong turned to look at Luo Feifei and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Every time I find fault, Lin Yunchu lets you make money. Don't you think that you can make all this money because of me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to make money so easily. Don't you think that you should give me half of the money you make?"
Luo Feifei asked back with reason and evidence.
"..." Gu Qiuhong found it very funny. "Sister-in-law, you are such a joker. You go out to work, will you give me half of the money? I charge my sister-in-law a little labor fee, and you still want to share my money. How dare you say that!"
"Gu Qiuhong, you!"
"Sister-in-law, I make money based on my own ability. If you're not convinced, you can ask my sister-in-law to ask you to make clothes with me. I'm not the only one in the family who has a sewing machine, you have one too!"
Gu Qiuhong responded to her bluntly.
Luo Feifei gritted her teeth and said, "You are sure she won't ask me to do it, so you said that!"
"Sister-in-law, if I knew how to predict the future, I would have set up a stall in the market a long time ago."
Gu Qiuhong continued, "Sister-in-law, don't you have someone to back you up? Go and complain to sister-in-law Keke! Why are you looking for me?"
"Who said I complained?"
"You still don't admit it! Sister-in-law Keke has even sent someone to question me! Sister-in-law, you have to be kind, you can't have it all. You know that Sister-in-law Yunchu and Sister-in-law Keke are incompatible, but you took Sister-in-law Keke's benefits and you want Sister-in-law Yunchu's business. This is a bit greedy!"
"Okay! Sister-in-law, I have to go to town to buy some cloth. If you're not busy, please feed the livestock at home!"
Luo Feifei was angry.
She was kind after all!
If I had known this earlier, I would have spread the news that Pei Huaiyuan was dead, making Lin Yunchu a widow early, and see if she can still act arrogant!
*
At this time, Pei Huaiyuan had already obtained the leave application from the army.
After discussion, the army did not agree to his discharge.
He was granted a long vacation.
He can take as long a vacation as he wants.
At this point, Pei Huaiyuan didn't insist anymore.
He was recovering quickly, but he wasn't fully healed yet.
The broken ribs in my body haven't fully healed yet, and I walk a little unsteadily.
But his heart was somewhat urgent.
I haven't been home for three years. The children should have grown very tall by now.
I don’t know if they still recognize him.
When he brought his youngest sister back home, she was still in swaddling clothes. She should be big enough now and can walk and talk on her own.
And as for the kid Ankang, he still had memories when he brought him back to the Pei family.
Knowing that his parents were no longer around, he wondered how he had been living in the Pei family over the years.
He hasn't written to them over the years. Haonan is still young, only six years old, but Ankang is already eight years old and should be able to read and write.
Pei Huaiyuan originally wanted to buy some new clothes to take home, but then he realized that he had no idea their height and weight, and if the clothes he bought were either too big or too small, that would be bad.
"Commander, I'm going home first. Please help me with the annulment of my marriage as soon as possible!"
In order to get this done quickly and smoothly, Pei Huaiyuan looked for his leader again.
"Huaiyuan, you kid, I really don't know whether you are honest or really stupid! You don't even want a wife! No matter how you got your wife, you have a wife anyway."
"Commander, marriage is a matter of mutual consent. She and I have never met, and she has four children at home, so it's not suitable."
"Okay, okay! I'll urge you again. You have to go back tomorrow, so this matter will definitely not be completed. I'll notify you when it's done!"
Pei Huaiyuan nodded, "Thank you, Chief."
After returning to the dormitory, he began to pack his luggage.
He didn't have much luggage, so when he saw the white handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks in his suitcase, he took it and folded it slowly.
This was the handkerchief that the girl used to bandage his bleeding wound that night.
When she was sent to the military hospital, he wanted to return it to her directly.
But for some reason, he didn't say anything.
*
Family-oriented.
"Brother, mom gave us a big bowl of fried rice. It's super delicious. Let's eat together."
As soon as Pei Haonan came back, he called Pei Ankang happily.
The Pei family’s house is similar to the Gu family’s house, both are courtyard-style apartments.
The three brothers of Pei family did not split up.
The eldest and second brothers of the Pei family have been at home all the time. Their children have grown up and they have been given two rooms.
Pei Huaiyuan only had one room, and the four children he brought back all slept in this room.
Pei Yinyao used to sleep with Grandma Pei. One time, Grandma Pei went out to work early in the morning, and Pei Yinyao cried alone in bed, and no other adults in the family cared about her.
Pei Ankang entered his grandmother's room and saw Pei Yinyao wearing thin clothes on a cold night. She was outside the quilt, shivering with cold. Her little face was full of fear and she looked extremely pitiful.
After that night, Pei Ankang kept his sister by his side.
Pei Yinyao was still young and had no idea of gender, so she was very happy to sleep with her brothers.
Although she would be pressed down by her brother who was sleeping crookedly when sleeping with him, at least she was not alone. She felt safe with her brothers around.
Pei Haonan shouted, and Pei Yucheng and Pei Yinyao immediately got up.
The fried rice made by my mother must be delicious!
"Brother, eat!"
Pei Haonan saw Pei Ankang standing there without moving, so he pulled him.
"I don't want to eat!" Pei Ankang said firmly.
He is not the kind of person who can be bought off by small favors.
"Brother, it's really delicious." Pei Haonan smacked his lips and said after taking a big bite of the rice.
"You can eat it if you want."
"Then you will be hungry." Pei Haonan reminded.
The other children of the Pei family had to go to school, so their eldest aunt and second aunt prepared meals for them early in the morning and asked them to eat before going to school.
They didn't go to school and had to wait until the adults finished their work before they could eat.
Many times, they came back almost at noon, and they would be hungry for the whole morning.
Pei Ankang remained indifferent, just lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow on his eyelids.
"Have you finished eating? My cousin gave us a lot of clothes. Come over and try them on after you finish eating."
Pei Ankang took out the clothes he brought back yesterday and put them on the bed.
"oh."
Pei Haonan and Pei Yucheng responded and walked over.
Then he tried on some clothes. The clothes Pei Ankang brought back were all too big and basically didn't fit him.
"When you grow up, you can wear these clothes. People give us clothes with good intentions."
The other children in the family all have grandmothers, and their grandmothers and uncles and aunts either give them clothes or delicious food, but they have none. Every time they see their cousins coming back from their grandmother's house, they are envious.
Only this cousin took some care of them, invited them to their home and gave them some things.
In the past, no matter whether the clothes he brought back were big or small, the little ones were always very happy.
But today I feel a little uninterested and not excited at all.
"Brother, we like these clothes. We can wear them when we grow up. But I also want to tell you a good news. Look, we all have new clothes."
Pei Haonan took out the new clothes from under the pillow and showed them to Pei Ankang as if showing them off.
"Where did you get the new clothes?"
Pei Ankang asked.
The Pei family has many children, and grandma always says she will buy them new clothes, but when it comes to buying them, she becomes embarrassed because she has to buy four sets at a time, which costs a lot of money.
So they don’t have new clothes to wear during the New Year. Others wear new clothes and new hats during the New Year, so they hope that the clothes given to them by others are a little newer.
I have never had any new clothes, so suddenly I see so many new clothes. It’s strange, they must be fake.
"New clothes mother gave us."
“…”That woman made new clothes for his younger brothers and sisters? of
Pei Haonan took out the largest set of clothes and handed it to Pei Ankang, "This is yours, big brother."
"..." Pei Ankang's eyes were full of disbelief. There were actually new clothes for him?
In addition to being unable to believe it, Pei Ankang's eyes were filled with more doubts.
