Only after Zhou Weiguang left did Qin Hanshu slowly get up.

She had just finished washing up when Liu Ercui came and banged on the door.

"Girl, hurry up! We have to go to the cooperative and grab the stuff!"

As early as a few days ago, the cooperative's supplies were more than usual, just in preparation for the New Year.

However, fresh chicken, duck, fish, and some popular seafood products will not be available until today.

Liu Ercui already has experience. Every New Year’s Eve, there is always a crowd at the entrance of the cooperative, and they don’t leave until all the goods are sold out.

If you don’t go early, how can you buy it?

Qin Hanshu's eyes almost popped out when he saw Liu Ercui's belly. "I haven't seen you for just one night, how come your belly is so big?"

Liu Ercui is two months older than Qin Hanshu in terms of pregnancy, but her pregnancy is not obvious yet. Her belly is very bulging at the moment.

Liu Ercui pulled a pillow out of her belly and said proudly, "I am just pretending to be a good buyer later! I am so pregnant, no one dares to squeeze me!"

After saying that, he asked Qin Hanshu to install one as well.

Qin Hanshu shook his head, "I'll just forget it."

Liu Ercui said: "Alright, just follow me for a while!"

Qin Hanshu didn’t know what to do for the evening, so she asked Liu Ercui to wait for a moment and went to Cao Jing’s place.

Cao Jing had also gotten up and was washing her face.

"I discussed it with your brother yesterday. Let's eat at home. It doesn't matter if it's later. The main thing is that we will be more comfortable at home. What do you think?"

Qin Hanshu nodded and said, "I have no objection, then do it at home. I will go to the cooperative with Sister Ercui now."

Cao Jing wrung out the towel and put it on the washstand. While putting on her coat, she said, "I'll go with you."

When he walked downstairs, Qin Hanshu glanced at the door of Fan Hongxia's house, which was closed.

Liu Ercui said: "She is not at home. She has gone back to her parents' home."

Qin Hanshu was surprised and asked, "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Liu Ercui recalled: "It was at noon the day before yesterday. You all were at work and didn't know that she had a fierce quarrel with her husband. Finally, she went back to her parents' home in anger. If she went back to her parents' home at this time, she would probably not come back until after the Chinese New Year."

Fan Hongxia's parents' home is in the neighboring city, about a hundred kilometers away.

Cao Jing: "What about the child?"

Liu Ercui: "Of course I'll bring my children with me."

Qin Hanshu thought that the two couples living upstairs and downstairs from her often quarreled.

In fact, in the entire family compound, quarrels between couples are not very common, and some even fight.

Cao Jing and Qin Hanshu thought of the same thing and sighed, "Is it inevitable that a couple will get tired of each other after being together for a long time?"

Liu Ercui snorted and laughed, "Need I say that? After being together for so many years, even the most beautiful flowers will get boring! When you first got married, he clung to you and wanted to cup your stinky feet, but after you gave birth to a few children, even kissing you was like asking for his life."

Alas, she looks like a yellow-faced woman now, but who hasn’t been young? Who didn’t have some beauty when they were young?

She and her man also had a passionate time!

After Liu Ercui finished speaking, she thought about the two people around her who had just gotten married and were in the process of flirting with their men. She was sure that they would not like to hear what she said.

So Liu Ercui added: "But we can't generalize. I think the men from both your two families are good."

Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing didn't take it to heart.

The future will take care of itself, so why worry so much about it now?

On the way, they met two family members from the same building, and the group went to the cooperative as a group.

When I first went out, it was still dawn, but when I arrived at the cooperative, it was already bright, as if it happened in just a moment.

The cooperative opens at 7 o'clock, but when we arrived, it wasn't open yet, but there were already many people queuing at the door.

Several people were talking while waiting, and time passed quickly.

When the door opened, the people who had been queuing rushed in and there was no order at all.

If you are late, the good ones will be gone, so who will care about queuing according to the rules?

"Girls, follow behind me and don't get pushed out." After Liu Ercui said that, she held her belly and squeezed in.

When others saw her bulging belly, they really didn't dare to get too close to her.

Just like that, Liu Ercui, Qin Hanshu and Cao Jing, easily squeezed to the front.

Today's cooperative is indeed rich in supplies.

Qin Hanshu had already bought a lot of dry goods at the department store. In addition to a pound of peanut oil, the company also gave out hairtail and a basket of oranges as New Year benefits.

And a few days ago, I went to the black market and bought live chickens and fish and kept them at home.

Qin Hanshu looked around and finally bought only fresh pork ribs, pork, and some vegetables.

The salesperson called out, "Anyone want squid? We have plenty."

Squid is a special supply from the cooperative this year, but not many people buy it.

People living in the family compound come from all over the world, and not everyone is used to eating seafood.

Qin Hanshu heard a sister-in-law behind him complain: "Squid is terrible, fishy and hard to chew, like chewing a tire."

This will not be done.

Qin Hanshu shouted, "Give me two squids."

While squeezing out of the crowd with her things in her hands, Cao Jing said to Liu Ercui with admiration, "Sister-in-law, you really know how to think of a solution."

Liu Ercui puffed out her belly and felt even more proud.

But soon, she was exposed.

"Liu Ercui?" A woman about the same age as Liu Ercui suddenly appeared from nowhere and stared at Liu Ercui's belly.

"I ran into you on the street last month and your stomach was still flat."

"What's going on? Did you inflate it?"
