What I have to say is that there were about ten bottles of glucose in those things. Song Lan bought them at the hospital to keep Xiao Yu's family, Old Shen, Old Li, and others warm.
Shisong Village.
"This is……"
After dropping Li Jumei off at home, snowflakes began to fall. Worried that the heavy snow would make cycling difficult, Qin Boyan ignored Li Jumei's attempts to persuade him to stay and have some hot water before cycling back the way he came.
After Li Jumei entered the house, she took out the things that Song Lan had asked her to deliver to the Xiao family and Elder Shen, and then greeted Song Sanhe before heading to the thatched hut where the Xiao family lived.
At that moment, Grandpa Xiao and his wife, along with Xiao's father and Xiao Yu, all paused in surprise as they saw the glucose bottles that Li Jumei placed one by one on the table.
They probably guessed the purpose of these glucose bottles, and were overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Old Mrs. Luo wiped her eyes, her lips trembling, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Lanlan asked me to bring these to you, and also to Elder Shen and the others over there."
Li Jumei said with a smile, "Lanlan cleaned these glucose bottles very well. She said that filling them with hot water and stuffing them into the quilts would help you keep warm."
"Lanlan is so thoughtful!"
Grandma Luo was deeply moved: "We can never repay the kindness you have shown us in this lifetime!"
"Auntie, please don't say this is too formal. Everyone encounters trouble when they're out and about, and Lanlan knows you all, so she wants to lend you a hand."
As parents, we naturally have to support her. Besides, Auntie, you and Uncle Xiao are both good people. My husband and I are happy to help you!
As Li Jumei spoke, she took out two more cans of malted milk powder: "One can is for you from Lanlan, and the other is for Elder Shen and the others. Please ask Comrade Xiao Yu to help deliver them to them later."
His gaze fell on Xiao Yu, who nodded upon hearing this: "I will definitely deliver it."
Li Jumei did not stay at the Xiao family's house for long.
After she left, Xiao Yu took five glucose bottles and a can of malted milk powder and left the house.
"Lanlan is here?"
When Old Shen saw what Xiao Yu was holding, he couldn't help but ask.
Elder Li and the others looked behind Xiao Yu, but did not see Song Lan. They couldn't help but look puzzled.
“She went to Heilongjiang Province and just returned yesterday afternoon. These are what she asked Aunt Song to bring,” Xiao Yu said. “Filling glucose bottles with hot water and stuffing them into the quilt can keep you warm.”
"I've heard people say it's quite effective at keeping warm!"
Old Li picked up a glucose bottle, looked at it with a smile, and looked at his old friends: "Why don't we fill it with hot water and try it now?"
"Go ahead and pour it in, but don't burn yourself."
"I'm not a three-year-old, nor am I so old that my hands shake, so you can rest assured!"
"It never hurts to be careful."
"Yes, Lao Li, if you accidentally get burned, you'll be the one who suffers."
Listening to what his old friends were saying, Old Li snorted arrogantly and said, "Just you wait and see, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Xiao Yu chatted with Old Shen for a few minutes, then said goodbye and went home.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. With the Lunar New Year approaching, the auspicious day for Song Qingbin to marry Feng Yuanyuan is just two days away.
"Sister-in-law, are we really all going to your house for Brother Song's wedding this weekend?"
Two days later, it was the weekend, and it was a little past eight in the evening. Qin Yaxin's eyes widened involuntarily when she heard Song Lan say that she was taking the whole family to Shisong Village to attend Song Qingbin's wedding banquet.
"Including you, sister-in-law, there are six of us in our family here. If we also include my brother and Brother Wu, then according to the rule of eight seats per table, our family alone would be a full table."
Is there a problem?
Song Lan asked with a smile.
"Isn't it a bit too crowded?"
Qin Yaxin looked embarrassed: "If people in your village see this, they'll probably gossip about our family."
"What's there to say? We're relatives, it's not like we don't give gifts."
A smile lingered in Song Lan's bright eyes as she said, "A wedding needs lots of people to make it lively. You can all come back to the village with me the day after tomorrow. I reckon most of the people in our village will envy my family!"
"Sister-in-law, I didn't understand."
Qin Yaxin's eyes were filled with mosquito coil rings.
"The villagers envy my family for having so many glamorous relatives from the city. And with your looks, your presence in my house will definitely bring honor to my family!"
Not only did Qin Yaxin blush with embarrassment, but Qin Boyan and Qin Yaqing also blushed.
As for the two little ones, they didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop them from having fun.
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, said in his childish voice, "I want to go to Brother Song's wedding!"
Not to be outdone, the little girl Qin Yaxuan said, "I want to drink Brother Song's wedding wine too, and I want to see the bride!"
"Do you know what it means to attend a wedding banquet?"
Qin Boyan lightly tapped the two little ones' heads with his fingers, his eyes full of mockery: "You don't know, do you?"
"Who says I don't know?"
The adorable little Wu snorted and said, "Attending a wedding banquet means sitting at the table!"
"The seats are for enjoying good food."
The young girl, Qin Yaxuan, provided further explanation.
Song Lan laughed out loud: "Second brother, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are very clever, you can't stump them!"
"Sister-in-law, I... I think I won't go..."
Qin Yaqing suddenly spoke up, and upon hearing this, Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "Why not go? Are you worried about eating my family out of house and home?"
"No, no, I think Second Sister is right. If we all go to your house for your wedding banquet, there are indeed too many people!"
Qin Yaqing explained.
“My parents specifically told me that when the day comes, we should all come to their house. If you don’t go, they might overthink it and think that you are too picky and look down on dealing with our family.”
