"Some of them are not available, so I didn't write them down. The ones I wrote down are all available." Shen Xiangzhi pointed at the pile of things on the bedside, "I just went to the black market."
He couldn't figure out what An Hongdou's secret was, but since she was willing to open up to him, he couldn't be so stingy as to hide everything from her.
Chen Xiangzhi thought that An Hongdou would always ask a few questions, but he really overestimated himself, or rather, overestimated the excitement that the word "black market" would bring to her.
An Hongdou had been to that place before and didn't find it strange.
She just thought that Shen Xiangzhi went to the black market to exchange some things.
They stayed in the town for a total of 7 days.
That day, the four brothers of the An family came together to pick them up and even borrowed a cart.
On the way, An Hongdou and her two children were lying on a cart, while Old Lady An was lying on another cart holding another child.
In addition, the car was hung with a lot of items.
After staggering for most of the day, they finally returned home.
The three children finished their feeding and fell asleep in bed. Except for some slight discomfort, An Hongdou was fine otherwise.
At this moment, she was sitting by the bed sorting out the children’s things, while Shen Xiangzhi was busy outside.
Mrs. An came in and said, "Hongdou, Mom will go home first and come back to help you take care of the child later."
Although I know nothing is wrong at home, I still miss him because I haven't been home for several days.
"Mom, the children are all obedient and we can take care of them. You don't have to come here specially." An Hongdou said.
Old Lady An thought that although she was in town these days, Chen Xiangzhi was a caring child. He actually did a lot of things by himself, so she really didn't need any help.
Moreover, she has her own family, and it would be inappropriate for her to stay in her daughter's home for a long time.
Anyway, they are not far away, so she can come over from time to time to help take care of things. There is really no need to watch here every day.
"Okay, then if you need anything, just let Xiangzhi go home and call people, and mom won't come over. However, he has been with you for so many days since you gave birth to the child. It's not good for him to stay at home and not go out to work. How about this, you let him go to work, and I'll let Changyue come over tomorrow to help take care of the child." After all, it's just a child, and she can't be expected to do much work. It's reasonable for her to help her aunt take care of the child.
As for Lin Cuihua, Mrs. An was not afraid of her getting angry.
Just let Changyue eat here. In addition, An Hongdou gave the whole family some wool to knit sweaters in winter, and asked my niece to come and help. I can still stand up straight.
An Hongdou didn't object to letting An Changyue come over. "Then I'll make the bed in the east room later. You go back and discuss with your sister-in-law. Why don't you just let Changyue live here?"
The old house was crowded, with many children, and several of them were squeezed into one room and one bed.
An Hongdou thought that there should be no reason for her sister-in-law to disagree with Changyue coming.
Moreover, if An Changyue came to help her, she would never treat her unfairly.
Mrs. An nodded and left.
When Shen Xiangzhi came in, An Hongdou told him about this.
He was worried about An Hongdou taking care of the child alone at home, so it would be great if An Changyue could live with them.
Don’t talk about enslaving children. This is mostly the case in this era.
Just like, An Changzheng was sent to school in the early spring and stayed at a relative's house, but no one in the family mentioned letting An Changyue go to school as well.
They talk about gender equality, but in reality, they do things that are completely unequal.
And everyone takes these for granted.
Including An Changyue, the person involved, she also felt that it was a good thing for her brother to go to school, and that it would be a waste for her, a girl, to go to school, and it was not important at all.
At the very least, An Changyue feels more relaxed here than at the An family.
The vegetable garden in the yard has been planted and tender green sprouts have grown.
Shen Xiangzhi discovered that the hard piece hidden in his clothes was gone. During this period of time, he always pinched this thing intentionally or unintentionally.
Although it looks like just a small piece of film, Chen Xiangzhi knows that its function is definitely not as simple as just putting it in clothes.
It's a pity that he is so ignorant that he doesn't understand what it is.
And when he was away, An Hongdou looked at the thin piece in her hand, which was the one she took out from Shen Xiangzhi's clothes.
With a squeeze of the fingers, it disappears into the palm of the hand.
Speaking of which, this thing has no other use, it is nothing more than to determine whether Shen Xiangzhi will report him.
After keeping it with him for such a long time and not noticing any other abnormalities from him, she felt temporarily relieved.
When An Changyue came, all the sisters-in-law in the family came.
The three sisters-in-law made a set of clothes for each child, which was also what they had agreed on.
After all, An Hongdou gave birth to three children at once. Logically, they should have one for each child, but the family conditions were such that no one was willing to do such a thing.
The first person to run in was An Changyue, who was carrying her small bag with a smile on her face. "Aunt, grandma asked me to stay at your house and help you take care of the child. I brought all the clothes here."
Grandma also said that her aunt let her live in a room of her own, and she no longer had to go out to collect grass for the pigs.
Seeing the child's excitement, An Hongdou couldn't help but smile, "Yes, the room has been prepared for you. It's in the west room. Do you want to go and take a look first?"
"Yes, then I'll put the clothes in the house first and come to see my little brother later." An Changyue ran out happily.
Wang Dahua picked up Dabao with envy. This child was the chubbiest one. She was so excited that she reached out and touched the child's face. "Little guy, let me touch you and feel your happiness. I hope I can give birth to a big fat boy like you next year!"
In order to have a son, the couple tried hard for a long time.
An Hongdou was equally happy. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What you are supposed to get will definitely come true. Don't be too anxious, sister-in-law. I heard that relaxing is more conducive to pregnancy."
Speaking of this, Wang Dahua couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I'm not in a hurry, it's all because of your third brother who keeps urging me. Tell me, can you blame me alone for not getting pregnant?"
Just thinking about it makes her angry.
Lin Cuihua burst into laughter and changed her tone, "You can't be blamed alone. If he pushes you again, you should push him to work harder."
"That's right. How can one person give birth to a child alone? It takes two people to work together." Li Xiaomi also said.
Wang Dahua was not angry either, "You two who have sons are not in a hurry at all, so just make fun of me as much as you can."
Growing up as an only child, An Hongdou could not understand their preference for boys over girls, but she could not say much either.
