Chapter 44 Relatives are coming



After the house was built, Chu Xi was busy tidying up his new home for several days.

There's a table here, a painting there, and they're busy all day long. Of course, paintings can't be hung randomly. The most popular paintings in this era are portraits of great men or paintings about revolutionary wars.

Shi Peng also went to work in the fields. "You don't have to go. Just stay at home and take care of the children. I'll go and earn more work points. We just need to earn enough food for everyone."

So Chu Xi started staying at home again. Thinking about how comfortable and relaxing it would be without those annoying people from the old Shi family!

She could only think about cooking delicious food every day, and then use spiritual spring water to slowly regulate Shi Peng's body. Soldiers always have occupational diseases of one kind or another. The more outstanding they are, the more likely they are to suffer from various diseases because they work too hard.

I feel more and more that since their last kiss, their relationship has heated up dramatically.

We began to care about each other, think about each other, and developed some unintentional little tacit understandings and habits.

But Shi Peng never mentioned the topic of living together, and she couldn't take the initiative...

Although she stayed at home, Shi Peng was working outside and always knew some topics that she had never been exposed to before.

"I heard another group of educated youth is coming. I don't know what they are like. I hope they can spread some knowledge or something and don't cause any more problems."

Seeing that Chu Xi stayed at home all day and didn't like to join in the fun, she was afraid that he would be bored, so she took the initiative to bring up a topic this time.

Chu Xi was stunned when he heard that. Another educated youth came?

Suddenly I wondered if her parents were coming too.

Ever since she received two letters from her second brother, her longing for her relatives has become stronger.

Shi Peng was also stunned. Could it be that his wife was also a gossipy woman? It didn't seem like it.

Chu Xi was still hesitating whether to tell Shi Peng that her parents might be coming, when Shi Peng said, "It seems there are a few scholars and professors coming down to work. Really..."

The situation has improved now, but he also feels sorry that so many well-read intellectuals have been suffering like this for so many years. However, as a soldier, he still cannot question the decision from above.

"Ah!" Chu Xi was so shocked that she stood up instantly. Did her parents really come?

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Chu Xi's expression was a little strange, Shi Peng also became nervous.

Chu Xi then felt Shi Peng's nervousness and stopped hesitating.

"My parents seem to be coming over..." Chu Xi was still a little nervous. After all, this was her first time meeting the original owner's biological parents. Would they discover anything? After all, she was their daughter who had grown up under their care.

This was the first time she said the words Mom and Dad. Here everyone calls them Dad and Mom, but just thinking about it made her eyes tear up.

"Ah?" Shi Peng was also a little confused. He just remembered the day before yesterday that his wife still had parents and siblings. Now they were coming, and he was not mentally prepared. After all, their wedding was simple, and he brought someone else's daughter home without asking for their consent.

Will he beat me up? Shi Peng even thought about being beaten, and even gave him the cold shoulder...

Chu Xi had already started thinking about what she needed to do first. It was so cold here, so she needed to prepare some quilts, cotton clothes, tiger-skin hats, etc., so that her parents would not be unable to bear the weather here.

For a moment, both of them were thinking about things silently.

"I (you)..." The two of them suddenly stood up and said at the same time.

"Okay, you speak first," he looked at his nervous daughter-in-law with some amusement.

"I'm going to the county to buy some cotton, cloth, thick cotton shoes and the like to prepare for my parents..." After saying that, Chu Xi looked at him a little nervously. After all, she had to spend her own family's money to subsidize her mother's family. Some people would have objections, but she had thought it through and didn't care if there were any objections.

She finally got to live a new life and have her parents again to make up for the family love from her previous life. She especially cherishes this opportunity.

"I'll go. You make a list and I'll go buy it. It's quite cold on the road."

"I'll go. It's more sincere for a daughter to go by herself. As a man, you don't understand many things."

In fact, I wanted to take the opportunity to sell some more goods. After all, I have already harvested a wave of goods from the black soil in the space. I dare not sell them all every time because there are too many. By the way, I want to buy more things in the county.

There are so many things to eat, use, wear, etc.

Without allowing any objection, he walked out directly...

Shi Peng was stunned. This wife didn't know how to care for others. Forget it, if you want to go, go by yourself. Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly caught up with his wife who was already riding a bicycle. This speed was unparalleled.

He took out all the money in his pocket and stuffed it into his wife's coat pocket. This action made Chu Xi stiffen again, but he just left.

Chu Xi couldn't wait any longer and not long after leaving the village, his mental strength radiated. After seeing that there was no one around, he changed his bicycle to a jeep, and then sped away like crazy, running straight through the town and reaching the county town before changing his bicycle again.

This surprised many people in the town. They wondered where this big shot came from and how he could have such a nice car.

After disguising himself with ease, he found Wang Tao in the black market and rushed out immediately while he was negotiating business.

"Big sister, I'm here." She greeted him warmly. There was nothing she could do. This was the arrival of the God of Wealth. She was the only one in the county that could produce such high-quality goods, making all the other colleagues jealous.

"Well, thank you for the building materials last time. And how are the old items being collected?" Chu Xi said lightly.

"I collected a lot, so I rented a warehouse near where you parked your truck last time. I'll give you a key later. You can just leave the goods there and call me directly. We're old friends."

This is a bit of flattery. It seems that the Jiefang truck that was deliberately exposed last time did have an effect.

But this is what we want. I have the ability and you listen to me, then we can do it, right? Earn more money and exchange it for more antiques, isn’t it great!

"Okay, take me to see the address later. Tell me if you need anything else and I'll try my best to get it for you..." This is called giving a favor, which will lead to better cooperation in the future.

Hearing this, Wang Tao was secretly delighted. This was the rhythm of making big money. It seemed that he needed to find a new big buyer.

She planned to use the warehouse as a transfer station. It was a remote corner, convenient and safe.

So she followed him to the warehouse, got the key and went to the department store. She had to wait until Wang Tao left before she could put her things away.

After so many transactions and cooperation, she bought a lot of tickets from Wang Tao, including some rare sewing tickets, radio tickets and other industrial tickets.

But she also knew that wealth should not be shown to others. Building a house, buying a bicycle, a sewing machine and a radio would definitely arouse jealousy and easily cause some unnecessary trouble. So every time she met the women of the Shi family, her eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

Oh, what have I done to offend anyone? I wish I could put her in a sack tonight, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up. It doesn't suit my status.

No matter how strong the wind blows, I remain unmoved. As long as you don't provoke me directly, I won't care. If you are really blind, I will open a window for you!
