Ye Weiwei curled her lips into a smile.
Tell me, it's so unlucky to fall on such a joyous day.
They've known each other for a while, so how could they not give gifts for their wedding?
"Weiwei, you're finally back! You must be exhausted these past few days. Come inside and rest."
As soon as Liu Guilan heard the commotion, she came out and saw her daughter-in-law, whom she had been worrying about every day for the past few days. She happily went up and held her hand. Seeing that Ye Weiwei looked well and in good spirits, she warmly greeted Xu Fei, "Officer Xu, come in and have some hot water to rest your feet."
Xu Fei quickly waved his hand, "Auntie, no need, I have to go back right away."
Liu Guilan feigned displeasure, "If we're in such a hurry, how can we leave without even having a sip of water? Come inside, come inside!"
Huo Xiao also said, "Having a sip of hot water to warm up won't take up much time."
Xu Fei then agreed and helped Huo Xiao unload the things from the car.
The three boys, Xiaoshan, Xiaochuan, and Xiaoxing, who were playing outside, heard that Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao had returned. They ran towards them from afar, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Auntie... Uncle..."
"Auntie... Uncle..."
“Ye Zhiqing…”
Ye Weiwei watched as the three little ones were followed by seven or eight other little ones, a group of people running towards them in a lively atmosphere. She couldn't suppress the smile on her face as she stood by the car waiting for them.
Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan each held one of Xiaoxing's hands, and the three of them ran to Ye Weiwei's side and stopped. They looked up at Ye Weiwei with their rosy little faces and bright eyes.
Grandma had told them that their aunt was pregnant and they shouldn't pounce on her, otherwise it would frighten the baby.
They are all obedient and good children, and they remember it all.
Ye Weiwei patted each of the little ones on the head, then took out some candy she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and gave each of them a piece. The little ones were overjoyed and called her "Ye Zhiqing" and "Aunt Ye" cheerfully and loudly.
"Ye Zhiqing, you're so kind! Next year when we start work, I'll help you cut pig feed!"
"Ye Zhiqing, thank you. My grandma said you are a great lucky star. I want to learn from you and become a little lucky star."
"Me too! I want to become as capable as Ye Zhiqing someday!"
"I want to fight bad guys like Ye Zhiqing! I want to become a great hero..."
"Lu Dahua is so stingy, she didn't even give out candy at the wedding. Ye Zhiqing is much better!"
"Of course, Ye Zhiqing is a million times prettier than her. When I grow up, I want to marry a wife as beautiful as Ye Zhiqing."
Niu Danzi ate his candy while squinting his eyes happily.
If he marries a wife as beautiful as Ye Zhiqing in the future, he can eat candy every day.
"I want one too! I want one too!"
A group of little ones were making a racket.
Huo Xiao deliberately coughed loudly, then looked at the group of brats with a stern expression.
These little dwarfs have big ambitions!
The group of little ones who were just being cheerful suddenly became like docile little quails, not daring to say a word.
Huo Xiao was finally satisfied and carried his things back into the house.
Ye Weiwei watched Huo Sansui's performance quietly, secretly amused.
Liu Guilan was worried that Ye Weiwei would catch a cold if she stayed outside for too long, so she waved for the little ones to go play and then pulled Ye Weiwei inside.
Su Xuemei had already prepared a bowl of hot brown sugar water and brought out some roasted nuts from home to serve Xu Fei.
After thanking him, Xu Fei drank some brown sugar water, chatted for a while, and then drove away. However, just before leaving, Liu Guilan stuffed both of his pockets full of roasted nuts.
He was a little embarrassed by Aunt Liu's enthusiasm.
After seeing Xu Fei off, Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao were asked to stay at the old house for lunch.
She distributed the clam oil and face cream she bought from the county to her family.
Regardless of age, each of the women received a packet of face cream and a box of clam oil.
The men are like a box of clam oil.
The winters here are so cold. The wind cuts like a knife. If you don't put something on your face and hands, your skin will become chapped like old tree bark.
In addition, she also gave her parents-in-law and her two older brothers' families a bag of brown sugar.
Liu Guilan was both happy and worried when she saw that she had given her so many things: "One bag is enough for us, why do we need so many!"
Su Xuemei also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you should take these two packets back quickly and drink them yourselves."
Although they have separated their households, the second son's family is still sharing the same meals. Apart from separating the third son and his wife and dividing the family's money and house, everything else is temporarily the same as before the separation.
Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "We still have some. Besides, I'm pregnant now and can't eat brown sugar."
Liu Guilan and Su Xuemei were surprised: "Brown sugar is a good thing, why can't pregnant women eat it?"
Ye Weiwei: "Brown sugar promotes blood circulation, and eating too much can easily lead to miscarriage."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guilan was so frightened that she quickly put away the three packets of brown sugar. "Alright, we'll take them. But you must never touch brown sugar again. If you want something sweet, just eat a few pieces to sweeten your mouth. After you give birth, you can eat as much as you want."
Ye Weiwei couldn't help but smile: "Okay."
This mother-in-law is treating her like a child.
After the meal, Ye Weiwei took Huo Jiang's pulse and gave him acupuncture again.
With Ye Weiwei's treatment and Liu Guilan's delicious nourishing food, Huo Jiang's body recovered quickly during this period. Apart from the obvious external scars, the internal wounds were basically healed.
This was only because Ye Weiwei deliberately held back.
Anyway, there's nothing to do in the middle of winter, so there's plenty of time to recover.
When it was time to go home, Liu Guilan was worried and came along. She heated up some water and heated the kang (a traditional heated bed) for Ye Weiwei, and only left after making sure Ye Weiwei was asleep.
Little Star slept on a kang (a heated brick bed) with his two older brothers, Little Mountain and Little River, in the old house. Neither of them was a good sleeper, and luckily he always slept in the middle, otherwise he wouldn't even have a blanket to cover himself with.
Now that he was finally back with his aunt, he saw her sleeping, so he took off his little shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and carefully snuggled into the quilt next to her. He fell asleep soon after.
After tidying up the house and putting away all the things he had bought, Huo Xiao entered the room and saw the two of them, one big and one small, sleeping soundly. In particular, Little Xingxing was holding one of his little wife's arms. He couldn't help but chuckle and scold under his breath, "You little rascal!"
Thinking of the phone call from the military base today, Huo Xiao's brows furrowed involuntarily, and a struggle appeared in his eyes.
Ye Weiwei slept until late afternoon before getting up. She didn't know why, even though she had been fine for the past few days in the county, she felt extremely tired after returning home and wished she could sleep for three days and three nights.
If it weren't for the important matter she had to do that night, she would have refused to get up no matter how much Huo Xiao tried to "coerce" or "entice" her!
