Mrs. An looked at the packages on the floor, then at the pile of clothes on the bed, and asked her, "Why don't you pack them all up? What are you piling them on the bed for? Don't you have enough bags? I'll go home and get you some."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to go outside, but An Hongdou stopped her, "Mom, no need. It's not that there aren't enough bags, but these things on the bed are too small and can't be worn anymore, so I won't take them with me."
"Why can't you wear it? Why don't you buy some cloth, add a piece from the bottom, and then make it a little bigger?" Old Mrs. An picked up the small clothes one by one with heartache. In fact, each piece had only been worn a few times and was still new.
An Hongdou thought about the scene described by Old Lady An and wondered what it would look like if there was another section underneath the clothes.
It's hard to imagine that she herself is not very good at sewing.
Anyway, I don’t think it will look good.
"Mom, isn't our third sister-in-law going to give birth next year, a month earlier than these three? These small clothes will be just the right size for them to wear. Let's leave them for them." An Hongdou said.
Mrs. An thought about it and thought it was okay, but she still said, "You don't have to worry about them. Just take whatever you can use so that you don't have to buy anything else. If you can't wear them, just leave them to them."
It is said that a poor family has a rich road ahead. She doesn't know what the situation is in Jiangcheng yet. Now that her daughter has left, she doesn't know when she will see her again. She is always worried and feels bad.
"I know. I brought everything the children can wear." After An Hongdou finished speaking, she suddenly remembered Zhou Qingcao's situation and asked Old Lady An in a low voice, "Mom, I noticed that Fourth Sister-in-law didn't seem to eat well recently. Is she pregnant too?"
Compared to Wang Dahua who was pregnant as if she was fine, Zhou Qingcao was obviously starting to react, especially when they were eating mutton last time. She didn't dare to get close to it and looked a little nauseous.
"Yes, she's pregnant. She's been pregnant for two or three months." Mrs. An smiled happily. She was not too biased towards boys, but she also hoped that the third child's family could have a son.
After all, we already have two girls, and if we have another one, people will gossip about us.
For the fourth child, since it is the first child, it doesn’t matter whether it is a boy or a girl.
"I haven't heard you reveal anything for such a long time, why are you still hiding it?" An Hongdou wondered.
"It's not that we're hiding it. Your fourth sister-in-law is young and this is her first child, so she was afraid of making a mistake, so she didn't tell anyone. I, your mother, only found out about it a few days ago." Mrs. An explained.
I have to say that Zhou Qingcao was quite thoughtful. She was afraid that if she told everyone that she was not pregnant, everyone would be disappointed, so she waited until she was sure before telling them.
"That's really good news. You'll be having two more grandchildren soon!" An Hongdou teased Old Lady An with a smile.
"Of course not. Your mother doesn't take care of anything now. I will just help them raise the children in the future." Even with household matters, Mrs. An is now teaching Zhou Qingcao carefully, trying to help the couple get independent as soon as possible.
After packing up everything, An Hongdou packed up the small clothes that she didn't plan to take with her and left them for Wang Dahahua.
They still had to sleep on the bedding at home for another night, so they didn't plan to clean it up for the time being.
Moreover, An Hongdou looked at Old Lady An and said, "Mom, this quilt is too thick and it's troublesome to carry it with us, so we won't take it with us. Let Fourth Brother come and bring it home for you tomorrow and keep it for you to use."
Mrs. An’s quilt was probably the one she used when she got married. It felt hard to the touch and was not soft at all.
An Hongdou had wanted to change it for her a long time ago, but Mrs. An refused to agree no matter what, and said that she was too wasteful and should save the money to raise children in the future.
This quilt was made by Mrs. An for An Hongdou as a dowry two years ago. It was made of new cotton and had never been used. She brought it here when she moved here.
It just so happened that I took this opportunity to replace Old Lady An’s old quilt.
Mrs. An disagreed. "You're just talking nonsense. Let your fourth brother take you there tomorrow and deliver the things directly to the car. What's the trouble? My daughter, life is not easy. Even if you have some ability to save some money, you have to spend it frugally and don't spend it lavishly. You are not a spendthrift. You don't have to worry about me. Your fourth brother and your fourth sister-in-law are both kind and they will not ignore me."
What's more, she has three other sons. Even if her daughter-in-law is not good, her sons are still filial.
"I know." An Hongdou felt helpless when she heard Mrs. An's mumbling. "Mom, just keep it if I give it to you. Your daughter really doesn't need this little money. The purpose of making money is to make life better for herself. If you keep putting it aside and not spending it, then it defeats the purpose of making money!"
As she spoke, An Hongdou took out another 200 yuan from her bosom and put it directly in the hand of Mrs. An. "Mom, just trust me. You don't know your own daughter well. If I really didn't have money, I wouldn't give it to you even if you asked me for it. Since I gave it to you, it means I can afford it."
After saying that, An Hongdou whispered a few words in front of Old Lady An, and Old Lady An opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and her whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds.
What did her daughter say?
It seems that she sold dozens of wolves last time and made a profit of a thousand yuan.
Really...really?
Her old man also hunted in the past, but after a lifetime of saving, he only saved a few hundred dollars.
The sons got married and had children, and most of the money has been spent over the years. What little money was left was given to them when the family property was divided. Old Lady An only has some money left for her own retirement.
After finally convincing Old Lady An to believe what she said, An Hongdou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking about the benefits of going to school, An Hongdou decided that it would be better to send all the children in the family to school.
My older brothers cannot read or write, and it will remain that way for the rest of their lives, but the younger generation cannot remain illiterate.
After a long while, Mrs. An looked at the money in her hand, sighed and said, "You are a child with big ideas, so I won't refuse. Keep this money for the tuition of the children at home. I will tell them that it was you who gave it. If anyone dares to be ungrateful and disobey you, my aunt, I will break their legs."
An Hongdou smiled. She didn't want them to be grateful to her. It was just that since she became An Hongdou and replaced the original owner's identity, she had to do something for her family.
Otherwise, she would not do such a thing as occupying someone else's body and only caring about living a good life herself.
"Mom, I want brother Ergou to help look after the house for me. I've also told him to ride the bicycle. If you need it, you can just go to his house and push it." Ergou rides the bicycle at home quite a lot. After all, he has to get things for An Hongdou, so he has to go out whenever he has time.
Ergouzi got so many things for her. If he knew the value of these things in the future, she didn't know if he would be so angry that he would cry.
